Our principal U.S. Government customer is the DoD; other U.S. Government customers include Intelligence Community agencies, NASA, the FAA and the Departments of Justice, State, Energy and Homeland Security.
U.S. Government Contracts and Regulation
We act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for numerous U.S. Government programs. As a result, we are subject to extensive regulations and requirements of the U.S. Government agencies and entities that govern these programs, including with respect to the award, administration and performance of contracts under such programs. We are also subject to certain unique business risks associated with U.S. Government program funding and appropriations and government contracts, and with supplying technologically-advanced, cutting edge defense-related products and services to the U.S. Government.
U.S. Government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), which sets forth policies, procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S. Government, department-specific regulations that implement or supplement FAR, such as the DoD's Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and other applicable laws and regulations. These regulations impose a broad range of requirements, many of which are unique to government contracting, including various procurement, import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, audit and product integrity requirements. A contractor's failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could result in reductions to the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, and the assessment of penalties and fines and lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. In addition, government contractors are also subject to routine audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) and Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). These agencies review a contractor's performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and a contractor's compliance with its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor's accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management accounting systems. For a discussion of certain risks associated with compliance with U.S. Government contract regulations and requirements, see
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
This Form 10-K and the information we are incorporating by reference contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including information regarding our financial outlook, future plans, objectives, business prospects, products and services, trends and anticipated financial performance including with respect to our liquidity and capital resources, our backlog, our pension expense and funding, the impact of new accounting pronouncements, our unrecognized tax benefits and the impact and outcome of audits and legal and administrative proceedings, claims, investigations, commitments and contingencies, as well as information regarding domestic and international defense spending and budgets. You can identify these statements by the fact that they include words such as “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” or variations of these words, or similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts and represent only our current expectations regarding such matters. These statements inherently involve a wide range of known and unknown uncertainties. Our actual actions and results could differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these statements. Specific factors that could cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those set forth below and other important factors disclosed previously and from time to time in our other filings with the SEC. Given these factors, as well as other variables that may affect our operating results, you should not rely on forward-looking statements, assume that past financial performance will be a reliable indicator of future performance, nor use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods. We expressly disclaim any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-looking statements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.
We depend on the U.S. Government for a substantial portion of our business and changes in government defense spending and priorities could have consequences on our financial position, results of operations and business.
In 2013, U.S. Government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 72% of our total net sales. Our revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government programs, primarily defense-related programs with the DoD, as well as a broad range of programs with the Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies. The funding of our programs is subject to the overall U.S. Government budget and appropriation decisions and processes which are driven by numerous factors, including geo-political events, macroeconomic conditions, and the ability of the U.S. Government to enact relevant legislation, such as appropriations bills and accords on the debt ceiling.
U.S. Government appropriations have and likely will continue to be affected by larger U.S. Government budgetary issues and related legislation. In 2011, the Congress enacted the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American
Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (BCA) and, pursuant to the terms of the BCA, a sequestration went into effect on March 1, 2013 resulting in a 7.8% reduction to the DoD budget for FY 2013, excluding funding for military personnel, and a total reduction of approximately $500 billion over the FY 2013-FY 2021 period. The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 amended the BCA and reduced the amount of the sequestration by a total of $63 billion for FY 2014 and FY 2015. The final FY 2014 DoD base budget (excluding funding for operations in Afghanistan) appropriation enacted into law in January 2014 is approximately $497 billion, which is similar to the level of funding for the DoD in FY 2013 after sequestration and FY 2015 is expected to be funded at a similar level. Under the current terms of the BCA as amended, future funding reductions would result in a total of approximately $300 billion in reduced DoD funding over the FY 2016-FY 2021 period. Unless Congress and the Administration agree to further amend or revoke the BCA, the DoD will be required to operate under the amended BCA funding levels for the foreseeable future. In addition, the U.S. Government has, on a number of occasions, been unable to complete its budget process before the end of its fiscal year (September 30), which resulted in it operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR) for extended periods, as well as a brief partial shutdown of the U.S. Government in October 2013.
As a result, future U.S. Government defense spending levels are difficult to predict. Significant changes in defense spending, changes in U.S. Government priorities, policies and requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In addition, we are involved in programs that are classified by the U.S. Government, principally through our IIS and SAS business segments, which have security requirements that place limits on our ability to discuss our performance on these programs, including any risks, disputes and claims.
Our financial results largely are dependent on our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts, which are subject to uncertain levels of funding and timing, as well as termination.
Our financial results largely are dependent on our performance under our U.S. Government contracts. While we are involved in numerous programs and are party to thousands of U.S. Government contracts, the termination of one or more of such contracts, or the occurrence of delays, cost overruns and product failures in connection with one or more large contracts, could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Furthermore, we can give no assurance that we would be awarded new U.S. Government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of termination of any of our contracts.
The funding of U.S. Government programs is subject to congressional appropriations. Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend over several fiscal years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. The U.S. Government programs in which we participate also must compete with other programs and priorities for consideration and funding during the budget and appropriations process. See the discussion above for more information on the risks relating to changes in U.S. defense spending levels and priorities.
In addition, when a formal appropriation bill has not been signed into law before the end of the fiscal year, Congress may pass a CR that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate, generally at the same funding levels from the prior year, but typically does not authorize new spending initiatives during this period. If Congress fails to enact a CR, the U.S. Government may shutdown which likely would result in the closure of government offices and furlough of government workers and the lack of funds to pay its contractors for work performed. In addition, if the national debt reaches the statutory debt ceiling, the Congress must enact legislation to increase the statutory debt ceiling. If Congress fails to do so, then the U.S. Government may default on its debts, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the global financial markets. After operating under a CR at the end of 2013, final FY 2014 appropriations bills were enacted in January 2014. The national debt is expected to reach the statutory debt ceiling in the first half of 2014 unless legislation is enacted by Congress.
Until regular appropriation bills are passed, delays can occur in procurement of products and services due to lack of funding, and these delays can affect our results of operations, financial position or liquidity during the period of delay. Under certain circumstances, we may continue to perform under our U.S. Government contracts without funding and use our own funds in order to meet our customer's desired delivery dates or other requirements. Furthermore, if appropriations for one of our programs become unavailable, or are reduced or delayed, our contract or subcontract under such program
may be terminated or adjusted by the U.S. Government, which could have a negative impact on our future sales under such contract or subcontract.
In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally also permit the government to terminate the contract, in whole or in part, without prior notice, at the U.S. Government's convenience or for default based on performance. If one of our contracts is terminated for convenience, we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receive some allowance for profit on the work performed. If one of our contracts is terminated for default, we would generally be entitled to payments for our work that has been accepted by the U.S. Government. A termination arising out of our default could expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders. Furthermore, on contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could terminate the prime contract for convenience or otherwise, irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor.
Our U.S. Government contracts also typically involve the development, application and manufacture of advanced defense and technology systems and products aimed at achieving challenging goals. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In some instances, product requirements or specifications may be modified. As a result, we may experience technological and other performance difficulties, which may result in delays, setbacks, cost overruns and product failures, in connection with performing our U.S. Government contracts.
As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to extensive procurement rules and regulations and changes in such rules, regulations and business practice could negatively affect current programs and potential awards.
Government contractors must also comply with specific procurement regulations and other requirements including import and export, security, contract pricing and cost, contract termination and adjustment, audit and product integrity requirements. These requirements, although customary in U.S. Government contracts, impact our performance and compliance costs. In addition, current U.S. Government budgetary constraints have, and may continue to lead to changes in the procurement environment. For example, the DoD continues to focus on initiatives focused on efficiencies, affordability and cost growth and other changes to its procurement practices such as changes in payment term preferences. If and to the extent additional changes occur as a result of these initiatives or otherwise, they could impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, and could affect whether and, if so, how we pursue certain opportunities and the terms under which we are able to do so.
In addition, failure to comply with the procurement regulations and requirements could result in reductions of the value of contracts, contract modifications or termination, cash withholds on contract payments, and the assessment of penalties and fines, which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. Our failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could also lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time. Among the causes for debarment are violations of various statutes, including those related to procurement integrity, export control, U.S. Government security regulations, employment practices, protection of the environment, accuracy of records and the recording of costs, and foreign corruption. The termination of a U.S. Government contract as a result of any of these acts could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity and could have a negative impact on our reputation and ability to procure other U.S. Government contracts in the future.
Our international business is subject to geo-political and economic factors, regulatory requirements and other risks.
Our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors, regulatory requirements, increasing competition and other risks associated with doing business in foreign countries. These risks differ from and potentially may be greater than those associated with our domestic business. In 2013, our sales to customers outside the U.S. (including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government) accounted for 27% of our total net sales. Our exposure to such risks may increase if our international business continues to grow as we anticipate.
Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, geo-political uncertainties, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, changes in U.S. foreign policy, and other risks and uncertainties. Our international sales are subject to U.S. laws, regulations and policies, including the ITAR, the FCPA, and other anti-corruption and export laws and regulations. We maintain strict policies and controls to comply with such laws and
regulations and exercise close oversight of such compliance. However, any failure by us or others working on our behalf to comply with these laws and resolutions could result in criminal, civil or administrative penalties, including fines, suspension or debarment from government contracts or suspension of our ability to export our products. In addition, due to the nature of our products, we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted to sell our products outside of the U.S. We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses or authorizations or that certain sales will not be prevented or delayed. Any significant impairment of our ability to sell products outside of the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Our international sales are also subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices which may differ from U.S. Government regulations. These include regulations relating to import-export control, technology transfer, investments, exchange controls and repatriation of earnings. Furthermore, our international sales contracts may be subject to non-U.S. contract laws and regulations and include contractual terms that differ from those of similar contracts in the U.S. or terms that may be interpreted differently by foreign courts. These contracts may also be subject to termination at the customer's convenience or for default based on performance, and may be subject to funding risks. In addition, the timing of orders, customer negotiations, governmental approvals and notifications from our international customers can be less predictable than from our domestic customers, and this may lead to variations in international bookings and sales each year. We must also manage a certain degree of exposure to the risk of currency fluctuations.
Our international business faces substantial competition from both U.S. companies and foreign companies. In some instances, foreign companies may receive loans, marketing subsidies and other assistance from their governments which may not be available to U.S. Government contractors.
Our international contracts may include industrial cooperation agreements requiring specific in-country purchases, manufacturing agreements or financial support obligations, known as offset obligations, and provide for penalties if we fail to meet such requirements. Offset obligations may, in certain countries, require the creation of a joint venture with a local company, which must control the venture. This may result in our being liable for violations of law for actions taken by these entities such as laws related to anti-corruption, import and export, or local laws which may differ from U.S. laws and requirements. Such offset obligations are generally multi-year arrangements and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with the offset requirements, which are typically subjective. We also are exposed to risks associated with using third party foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations, and teaming with international subcontractors, partners and suppliers in connection with international programs. As a result of these factors, we could experience financial penalties, award and funding delays on international programs and could incur losses on such programs which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share.
We operate in highly competitive markets and our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. We anticipate increasing competition in our core markets as a result of continued defense industry consolidation, including cross-border consolidation of competition, which has enabled companies to enhance their competitive position and ability to compete against us. We are also facing heightened competition in our domestic and international markets from foreign and multinational firms. In addition, as discussed in more detail above, increased pressure to limit U.S. defense spending and changes in the U.S. Government procurement environment may limit certain future market opportunities. For example, the DoD increasingly is awarding contracts through competitive bidding and relying on competitive contract award types. Additionally, some customers, including the DoD, are increasingly turning to commercial contractors, rather than traditional defense contractors, for information technology and other support work. If we are unable to continue to compete successfully against our current or future competitors, we may experience declines in revenues and market share which could negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, due to the current competitive environment, we continue to see an increase in bid protests from unsuccessful bidders on new program awards. Generally, a bid protest will delay the start of contract activities, delay earnings, and could result in the award decision being overturned, requiring a re-bid of the contract.
Our future success depends on our ability to develop new offerings and technologies for our current and future markets.
To achieve our business strategies and continue to grow our revenues and operating profit, we must successfully develop new offerings and technologies or adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies for our current core defense markets and our future markets, including new growth and emerging markets. Accordingly, our future performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:
-
Identify the needs of, and growth opportunities in, new and emerging markets;
-
Identify emerging technological and other trends in our current and future markets;
-
Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address customer needs in our current and future markets;
-
Develop and maintain competitive products and services for our current and future markets;
-
Enhance our offerings by adding innovative features that differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors;
-
Develop and manufacture and bring solutions to market quickly at cost-effective prices; and
-
Effectively structure our businesses, through the use of joint ventures, collaborative agreements and other forms of alliances, to reflect the competitive environment.
We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to invest significant financial resources to develop new offerings and technologies or to adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies, including through internal research and development, acquisitions and joint ventures or other teaming arrangements. These expenditures could divert our attention and resources from other projects, and we cannot be sure that these expenditures will ultimately lead to the timely development of new offerings and technologies or identification of and expansion into new markets. Due to the design complexity of our products, we may in the future experience delays in completing the development and introduction of new products. Any delays could result in increased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects. In addition, there can be no assurance that the market for our offerings will develop or continue to expand or that we will be successful in newly identified markets as we currently anticipate. The failure of our technology to gain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products.
Additionally, the possibility exists that our competitors might develop new technology or offerings that might cause our existing technology and offerings to become obsolete. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products or services fail to achieve market acceptance more rapidly than our competitors, our ability to procure new contracts could be negatively impacted, which would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We enter into fixed-price and other contracts which could subject us to losses in the event that we experience cost growth that cannot be billed to customers.
Generally, our customer contracts are either fixed-priced or cost reimbursable contracts. Under fixed-priced contracts, which represent approximately 60% of our backlog, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur and, consequently, we carry the burden of any cost overruns. Due to their nature, fixed-priced contracts inherently have more risk than cost reimbursable contracts, particularly fixed-price development contracts where the costs to complete the development stage of the program can be highly variable, uncertain and difficult to estimate. Under cost reimbursable contracts, subject to a contract-ceiling amount in certain cases, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance based. If our costs exceed the contract ceiling and are not authorized by the customer or are not allowable under the contract or applicable regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all such costs and our fees may be reduced or eliminated. Because many of our contracts involve advanced designs and innovative technologies, we may experience unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. Under both types of contracts, if we are unable to control costs or if our initial cost estimates are incorrect, we can lose money on these contracts. In addition, some of our contracts have provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we may not realize their full benefits. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns and cost controls would have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit or investigatory finding by the U.S. Government.
As a government contractor, we are subject to audits and investigations by U.S. Government agencies including the DCAA, the DCMA, the Inspector General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice (DoJ) and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether a contractor’s operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. The DCAA and DCMA also review the adequacy of and a contractor's compliance with its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor's accounting, purchasing, property, estimating, earned value management and material management accounting systems. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government. In addition, the DoJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed or must be refunded if already reimbursed. If an audit or investigation uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines and suspension or prohibition from doing business with the U.S. Government. In addition, we could suffer serious reputational harm if allegations of impropriety were made against us.
We depend on component availability, subcontractor performance and our key suppliers to manufacture and deliver our products and services.
We are dependent upon the delivery by suppliers of materials and the assembly by subcontractors of major components and subsystems used in our products in a timely and satisfactory manner and in full compliance with applicable terms and conditions. Some products require relatively scarce raw materials. We also are subject to specific procurement requirements that may, in effect, limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize, including requirements for genuine original equipment manufacturer parts.
In some instances, we are dependent on sole-source suppliers. If any of these suppliers or subcontractors fails to meet our needs or becomes insolvent, we may not have readily available alternatives. While we enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions, such as accelerating supplier payments commensurate with value delivered, to ensure financial viability and the availability of needed materials, components and subsystems, we cannot be sure that such items will be available in the quantities we require, if at all. In addition, some of our suppliers or subcontractors, especially smaller entities, may continue to be impacted by global economic conditions, which could impair their ability to meet their obligations to us. If we experience a material supplier or subcontractor problem, our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our customer obligations could be negatively impacted which could result in reduced sales, termination of contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with our customers. We could also incur additional costs in addressing such a problem. Any of these events could have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, we must comply with other procurement requirements, including restrictions on the use of certain chemicals in the European Union and conducting diligence and providing disclosure regarding the use of certain minerals, known as conflict minerals, which may impact our procurement practices and increase our costs.
We use estimates in accounting for many of our programs and changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.
Contract accounting requires judgment relative to assessing risks, including risks associated with customer directed delays and reductions in scheduled deliveries, unfavorable resolutions of claims and contractual matters, judgments associated with estimating contract revenues and costs, and assumptions for schedule and technical issues. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenues and cost at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. For example, we must make assumptions regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials; consider whether the intent of entering into multiple contracts was effectively to enter into a single project in order to determine whether such contracts should be combined or segmented; consider incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts in estimating sales and profit rates, and record them when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance; and use estimates of award fees in estimating sales and profit rates based on actual and anticipated awards. Because of the significance of the judgments and estimation processes described above, it is likely that materially different amounts could be recorded if we used
different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may adversely affect our future results of operations and financial condition.
For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by contract accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Significant changes in key estimates and assumptions, such as discount rates and assumed long-term return on assets (ROA), as well as our actual investment returns on our pension plan assets, and other actuarial factors could affect our earnings, equity and pension contributions in future periods.
We must determine our pension and other postretirement benefit plans' expense or income which involves significant judgment, particularly with respect to our discount rate, long-term ROA and other actuarial assumptions. If our assumptions change significantly due to changes in economic, legislative, and/or demographic experience or circumstances, our pension and other postretirement benefit plans' expense and funded status, and our cash contributions to such plans could negatively change which would negatively impact our results of operations. In addition, differences between our actual investment returns and our long-term ROA assumption would result in a change to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans' expense and funded status and our required contributions to the plans. They may also be impacted by changes in regulatory, accounting and other requirements applicable to pensions.
For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by pension and other postretirement benefit plan accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
We have made, and expect to continue to make, strategic acquisitions and investments, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties.
In pursuing our business strategies, we continually review, evaluate and consider potential investments and acquisitions. We undertake to identify acquisition or investment opportunities that will complement our existing products and services or customer base, as well as expand our offerings and market reach. In evaluating such transactions, we are required to make difficult judgments regarding the value of business opportunities, technologies and other assets, and the risks and cost of potential liabilities. Furthermore, acquisitions and investments involve certain other risks and uncertainties, including the difficulty in integrating newly-acquired businesses, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and other benefits expected from acquisitions or investments, the diversion of our attention and resources from our operations and other initiatives, the potential impairment of acquired assets and liabilities, the performance of underlying products, capabilities or technologies and the potential loss of key employees and customers of the acquired businesses.
We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties.
We have entered, and expect to continue to enter, into joint venture, teaming and other collaborative arrangements. These activities involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk of the joint venture or applicable entity failing to satisfy its obligations, which may result in certain liabilities to us for guarantees and other commitments, the challenges in achieving strategic objectives and expected benefits of the business arrangement, the risk of conflicts arising between us and our partners and the difficulty of managing and resolving such conflicts, and the difficulty of managing or otherwise monitoring such business arrangements.
Goodwill and other intangible assets represent a significant portion of our assets and any impairment of these assets could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
At December 31, 2013, we had goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately $13.3 billion, net of accumulated amortization, which represented approximately 51% of our total assets. Our goodwill is subject to an impairment test on an annual basis and is also tested whenever events and circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Any excess goodwill resulting from the impairment test must be written off in the period of determination. Intangible assets (other than goodwill) are generally amortized over the useful life of such assets. In addition, from time to time, we may acquire or make an investment in a business which will require us to record goodwill based on the purchase price and the value of the acquired assets. We may subsequently experience unforeseen issues which adversely affect the value of our goodwill or intangible assets and trigger an evaluation of the recoverability of the recorded goodwill and intangible assets. Future determinations of significant write-offs of goodwill or intangible assets as a result of an impairment test or any accelerated amortization of other intangible assets could have a negative impact on our results of operations and financial condition.
For a complete discussion regarding how our financial statements can be affected by goodwill accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” beginning on page 34 within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.
Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity threats and other security threats and disruptions.
As a U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure, attempts to gain access to our proprietary or classified information, threats to physical security, and possible domestic terrorism events. Our information technology networks and related systems are critical to the operation of our business and essential to our ability to successfully perform day-to-day operations. We are also involved with information technology systems for certain customers and other third parties, which generally face similar security threats. Cybersecurity threats in particular, are persistent, evolve quickly and include, but are not limited to, computer viruses, attempts to access information, denial of service and other electronic security breaches. We believe we have implemented appropriate measures and controls and we have invested in highly skilled IT resources to appropriately identify threats and mitigate potential risks, but there can be no assurance that such actions will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to mission critical systems, the unauthorized release of confidential information or corruption of data. Although we have in the past and will in the future be the subject of such cybersecurity incidents, to date none had a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Nonetheless, these types of events could disrupt our operations or customer and other third party IT systems in which we are involved. They also could require significant management attention and resources, and could negatively impact our reputation among our customers and the public, which could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
The outcome of litigation in which we have been named as a defendant is unpredictable and an adverse decision in any such matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
We are defendants in a number of litigation matters and are subject to various other claims, demands and investigations. These matters may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. No assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution or outcome of any of these lawsuits, claims, demands or investigations could have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
We depend on the recruitment and retention of qualified personnel, and our failure to attract and retain such personnel could seriously harm our business.
Due to the specialized nature of our business, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our key engineering personnel and executive officers, the development of additional management personnel and the hiring of new qualified engineering, manufacturing, marketing, sales and management personnel for our operations. Competition for personnel is intense, and we may not be successful in attracting or retaining qualified personnel. In addition, certain personnel may be required to receive security clearance and substantial training in order to work on certain programs or perform certain tasks. The loss of key employees, our inability to attract new qualified employees or adequately train employees, or the delay in hiring key personnel could seriously harm our business.
Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions so our business could be harmed in the event of a prolonged work stoppage.
Approximately 5,000 of our employees are unionized, which represents approximately 8% of our employee-base at December 31, 2013. As a result, we may experience work stoppages, which could adversely affect our business. We cannot predict how stable our union relationships will be or whether we will be able to successfully negotiate successor agreements without impacting our financial condition. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. Work stoppages could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We may be unable to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, which could affect our ability to compete.
We own many U.S. and foreign patents and patent applications, and have rights in unpatented know-how, data, software, trademarks and copyrights. The U.S. Government has licenses under certain of our patents and certain other intellectual property that are developed or used in performance of government contracts, and it may use or authorize others, including our competitors, to use such patents and intellectual property for government and other purposes. The U.S. Government may challenge the sufficiency of intellectual property rights we have granted in U.S. Government contracts and attempt to obtain greater rights. There can be no assurance that any of our patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated, misappropriated or circumvented by third parties. In some instances, we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietary intellectual property of others. In the future, we may not be able to obtain necessary licenses on commercially reasonable terms. We enter into confidentiality and invention assignment agreements with our employees and enter into non-disclosure agreements with our suppliers and appropriate customers so as to limit access to and prevent disclosure of our proprietary information. These measures may not suffice to deter misappropriation or third party development of similar technologies. Moreover, the laws concerning intellectual property vary among nations and the protection provided to our intellectual property by the laws and courts of foreign nations may not be as advantageous to us as the remedies available under U.S. law.
Our operations expose us to the risk of material environmental liabilities.
We use hazardous substances and generate hazardous wastes in our manufacturing operations. As a result, we are subject to potentially material liabilities related to personal injuries or property damages that may be caused by hazardous substance releases and exposures. For example, we are investigating and remediating contamination related to past practices at a number of properties and, in some cases, have been named as a defendant in related “toxic tort” claims for costs of cleanup and property damages.
We are also subject to laws and regulations that: (i) impose requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes; (ii) restrict air and water emissions from our operations (including U.S. Government-owned facilities we manage); and (iii) require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can impose substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and may require the installation of costly pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit pollution emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous substance releases.
If we were convicted of a criminal violation of certain U.S. federal environmental statutes, including the Federal Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, the facility or facilities involved in the violation would be placed by the EPA on the “Excluded Parties List” maintained by the Government Services Administration. The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violation had been cured. Listed facilities cannot be used in performing any U.S. Government contract awarded during any period of listing by the EPA.
We incur, and expect to continue to incur, capital and operating costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, new laws and regulations, changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination, or the imposition of new clean-up standards could require us to incur costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
We face certain significant risk exposures and potential liabilities that may not be adequately covered by indemnity or insurance.
A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing advanced defense and technology systems and products. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In addition, we may incur significant liabilities that are unique to our products and services, including missile systems, command and control systems, border security systems, and air traffic management systems. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may be entitled to indemnification from our customers, either through contractual provisions, qualification of our products and services by the DHS under the SAFETY Act provisions of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, or otherwise. The amount of our insurance coverage we maintain or indemnification to which we may be contractually or otherwise entitled may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and it is not possible to obtain insurance or indemnification coverage to protect against all operational risks and liabilities. Accordingly, we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business which would negatively impact our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and many foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Furthermore, changes in domestic or foreign income tax laws and regulations, or their interpretation, could result in higher or lower income tax rates assessed or changes in the taxability of certain sales or the deductibility of certain expenses, thereby affecting our income tax expense and profitability. In addition, we are regularly under audit by tax authorities. The final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different from our historical income tax provisions and accruals. Additionally, changes in the geographic mix of our sales could impact our tax liabilities and affect our income tax expense and profitability.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We primarily engage in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which the U.S. Government funds. As a U.S. government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the DCAA, the DCMA, the Inspector General of the DoD and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the DoJ and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the DoJ has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. Government regulations (e.g., the FCPA and ITAR) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed in this Form 10-K, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
On August 18, 2010, the U.K. Border Agency (UKBA) initiated arbitration proceedings in the London Court of International Arbitration against Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) in connection with the parties' dispute with respect to the UKBA's termination of RSL for cause on a program. The UKBA claimed that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones and other matters, and that the UKBA was entitled to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to RSL. In March 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with the UKBA in 2007. At RSL's request, the Arbitration Tribunal (Tribunal) initially issued an interim order restraining the drawdown but, following a hearing on the issue, lifted the restraint and concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call on the letters of credit is inextricably
intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish that the drawdown was not valid. To date, the UKBA has submitted total net claims in the arbitration of approximately £302 million (approximately $500 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) for damages, clawback of previous payments, and interest, and inclusion of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. RSL has submitted in the arbitration its defenses to the UKBA claim as well as substantial counterclaims in the amount of approximately £500 million (approximately $827 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) against the UKBA for the collection of receivables, damages and interest. Arbitration hearings commenced in late 2012 and were completed in 2013. We expect a decision in the first half of 2014.
RSL is pursuing vigorously the collection of all receivables for the program and damages in connection with the wrongful termination, and is mounting a strong defense to the UKBA's alleged claims for losses and previous payments. We believe the remaining receivables and other assets are probable of recovery in litigation or arbitration. We currently do not believe it is probable that RSL is liable for losses, previous payments (which includes the $80 million related to the drawdown on the letters of credit), clawback or other claims asserted by the UKBA. If we fail to collect the receivable balances or are required to make payments against claims or other losses asserted by the UKBA in excess of the amounts we have recorded, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Additional information regarding arbitration with the UKBA is contained in “Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 7 and “Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against us. We do not expect these proceedings to result in any additional liability that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

OVERVIEW
Introduction
Raytheon Company develops technologically advanced, integrated products, services and solutions in four core defense markets: sensing; effects; command, control, communications and intelligence (C3I); and mission support, as well as other important markets, such as cyber and information security. We serve both domestic and international customers, as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on a broad portfolio of defense and related programs primarily for government customers.
In April 2013 we consolidated our business from six to four business segments. Those operating business segments are: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS); Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS); Missile Systems (MS); and Space and Airborne Systems (SAS). For a more detailed description of our segments, see “Business Segments” within Item 1 of this Form 10-K.
In this section, we discuss our industry and how certain factors may affect our business, key elements of our strategy, and how our financial performance is assessed and measured by management. Next, we discuss our critical accounting estimates, which are those estimates that are most important to both the reporting of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's subjective judgment. We then review our results of operations for 2013, 2012 and 2011, beginning with an overview of our total company results, followed by a more detailed review of those results by business segment. We also review our financial condition and liquidity including our capital structure and resources, off-balance sheet arrangements, commitments and contingencies, as well as changes in accounting standards.
Industry Considerations
Domestic Considerations
Faced with significant budget pressures, in recent years, the U.S. Government has implemented reductions in government spending, including reductions in appropriations for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other federal agencies, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011, as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (BCA). The BCA reduced the DoD’s base budget (excluding funding for operations in Afghanistan) by $487 billion over the ten-year period from fiscal year (FY) 2012-FY 2021 relative to the long-range defense plans that accompanied the FY 2012 budget request.
The BCA also required Congress to enact legislation by January 15, 2012 that would result in deficit reduction of at least $1.2 trillion, which was not accomplished. Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, a sequestration went into effect on March 1, 2013 resulting in a 7.8% reduction to the DoD budget for FY 2013, excluding funding for military personnel, and a total reduction of approximately $500 billion over the FY 2013-FY 2021 period.
On December 26, 2013, the President signed into law the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, which amended the BCA and reduced the amount of the sequestration by a total of $63 billion for FY 2014 and FY 2015. As a result, funding for national security programs, including the DoD, will be cut by $32.3 billion in FY 2014 rather than by $54.7 billion ($22.4 billion in sequestration relief), and by $45.4 billion in FY 2015 rather than $54.7 billion ($9.3 billion in sequestration relief). The final FY 2014 DoD base budget (excluding funding for operations in Afghanistan) appropriation enacted into law in January 2014 is approximately $497 billion, which is similar to the level of funding for the DoD in FY 2013 after sequestration. FY 2015 is expected to be funded at a similar level. Looking forward, under current law, it appears funding for the DoD will remain flat through FY 2016 and modestly increase thereafter.
While the impacts of the BCA will be partially mitigated in the near term by the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, the remaining contemplated reductions under the BCA are still substantial and will impact DoD funding levels through 2021. In addition, the manner in which the DoD funding reductions will be implemented remains uncertain. As a result, the specific impact of future reductions required by the BCA, if any, as well as any other potential actions on U.S. Government spending and future DoD budgets on our programs are unknown at this time, and we are unable to specifically predict the effect any of the foregoing would have on our future financial performance and outlook. The impact of sequestration on our 2013 total net sales was less than the FY 2013 7.8% reduction noted above due to our international business, our position relative to critical DoD priorities and mission areas, and the anticipated length of time that it will take for sequestration reductions to impact future contracts. However, in the event that reduced BCA funding levels continue, or if other actions are taken to significantly reduce the DoD budget, it is possible that such reductions and related cancellations or delays affecting our existing contracts or programs could have a significant impact on the operating results of our business.
U.S. Government appropriations have and likely will continue to be affected by larger U.S. Government budgetary issues and related legislation. For example, the U.S. Government has not been able to pass any appropriations bills before the end of its fiscal year (September 30) in any of the past five years and has enacted defense appropriations bills prior to the end of its fiscal year only five times since FY 2001. When a formal appropriation bill has not been signed into law before the end of the fiscal year, Congress may pass a Continuing Resolution (CR) that authorizes agencies of the U.S. Government to continue to operate, generally at the same funding levels from the prior year, but typically does not authorize new spending initiatives during this period. If Congress fails to enact a CR, the U.S. Government may shutdown, which likely would result in the closure of government offices and furlough of government workers, as well as impact the availability of funds to pay its contractors for work performed. In addition, if the national debt reaches the statutory debt ceiling, the Congress must enact legislation to increase the statutory debt ceiling. If the Congress fails to do so, then the U.S. Government may default on its debts, which would likely have a material adverse effect on the global financial markets. After operating under a CR at the end of 2013, final FY 2014 appropriations bills were enacted in January 2014. The national debt is expected to reach the statutory debt ceiling in the first half of 2014 unless legislation is enacted by Congress.
With respect to U.S. defense priorities, the DoD conducted a Strategic Choices and Management Review (SCMR) in 2013 to provide its leadership with various options to meet the DoD’s strategic objectives in light of sequestration and the budgetary uncertainty the DoD faces. As a result of the SCMR, the DoD reiterated its commitment to the strategic guidance issued in January 2012 regarding its priorities through 2019 and possibly beyond. The 2012 DoD guidance identified the primary missions of the U.S. armed forces and the capabilities expected to be critical to future success, including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), missile defense, electronic warfare, unmanned systems, special operations forces, interoperability with allied forces and cybersecurity. The SCMR acknowledged that under decreased spending levels due to sequestration, the DoD would not meet all of its strategic objectives, but did not identify the impacted specific objectives nor the extent to which they would not be met.
U.S. Government sales, excluding foreign military sales, accounted for 72% of our total net sales in 2013. Our principal U.S. Government customer is the DoD. Given the current budget environment, including the elements noted above, future domestic defense spending levels are difficult to predict and may continue to decline over the next several years. A number of additional factors potentially impacting the DoD budget include the following:
-
External threats to our national security, including potential security threats posed by terrorists, emerging nuclear states and other countries;
-
Support for on-going operations overseas, including Afghanistan, which will require funding above and beyond the DoD base budget for their duration;
-
Cost-cutting measures implemented by the DoD, such as the “Better Buying Power" initiative, to ensure more efficient use of its resources in order to sufficiently fund its highest priorities;
-
Priorities of the Administration and the Congress, including but not limited to deficit reduction, which could result in changes in the overall DoD budget and various allocations within the DoD budget; and
-
The overall health of the U.S. and world economies and the state of governmental finances.
Although the uncertainty of funding changes that may result from the BCA, among other factors, makes predicting the DoD budget difficult, we expect the DoD to continue to prioritize and protect the key capabilities required to execute its strategy, including ISR, cybersecurity, missile defense, electronic warfare, unmanned systems, special operations forces and interoperability with allied forces. We believe those priorities are well aligned with our product offerings, technologies, services and capabilities.
With respect to other domestic customers beyond the DoD, we have contracts with a wide range of U.S. Government agencies, including the Department of Justice (DoJ), the Department of State, the Department of Energy, the Intelligence Community, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Similar to the budget environment for the DoD, we expect the Administration to take the spending limits imposed by the BCA into account when determining spending priorities for these agencies. Our relationship with these agencies generally is determined more by specific program requirements than by a direct correlation to the overall funding levels for these agencies; however, further changes in government spending priorities may adversely impact these specific programs. We also have contracts with various state and local government agencies that also are subject to budget constraints and conflicts in spending priorities.
We currently are involved in over 15,000 contracts, with no single contract accounting for more than 5% of our total net sales in 2013. Although we believe our diverse portfolio of programs and capabilities is well suited to a changing defense environment, we face numerous challenges and risks, as discussed above. For more information on the risks and uncertainties that could impact the U.S. Government's demand for our products and services, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.
International Considerations
In 2013, our sales to customers outside of the U.S. accounted for 27% of our total net sales (including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government). Internationally, the growing threat of additional terrorist activity, cyber threats, emerging nuclear states, long-range missiles and conventional military threats have led to an increase in demand for defense systems and services and other security solutions. In North Asia, both short- and long-term regional security concerns are increasing demand for air and missile defense, air/naval modernization, maritime security, and air traffic management. In the Middle East, threats from state and non-state actors are increasing demand for air and missile defense, air/land/naval force modernization, precision engagement, maritime security, border security, and cybersecurity solutions. In South and Central Americas, economic growth in certain developing countries is being accompanied by an increase in defense spending. While this region has traditionally been a smaller market for U.S.-based suppliers, it is likely to see above average growth rates in the future. In Europe, nations continue to manage downward pressure on defense spending as their governments grapple with regional economic challenges and reprioritize accordingly. Although these global economic challenges may continue to restrain and even shrink the defense budgets of certain European nations, requirements for advanced air and missile defense capabilities continue to exist in the European market. Overall, we believe many international defense budgets have the potential to grow and to do so at a faster rate than the U.S. defense budget.
International customers have and are expected to continue to adopt defense modernization initiatives similar to the DoD. We believe this trend will continue as many international customers are facing threat environments similar to that of the U.S. and they are looking for advanced weapons and sensor systems. Alliance members also wish to assure their forces and systems will be interoperable with U.S. and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces. However, international demand is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers and geo-political uncertainties, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, volatility in worldwide economic conditions, regional and local economic and political factors, U.S. foreign policy and other risks and uncertainties. For more information on the risks and uncertainties that could impact international demand for our products and services, see Item 1A “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.
Our Strategy and Opportunities
The following are the broad elements of our strategy:
-
Focus on Technology, Innovation and Mission Assurance for existing and evolving customer mission needs. Sustain and grow our position in our core markets: sensing, effects, C3I, mission support and cyber;
-
Leverage our domain knowledge in air, land, sea, space and cyber for all markets;
-

-
Use our technology and competitive strengths to expand our footprint in radar and electronic warfare solutions.
Our Markets
We believe that our broad mix of technologies, domain expertise and key capabilities and our cost-effective, best-value solutions and their alignment with customer needs in our core markets, position us favorably to continue to grow and increase our market share. Our core markets also serve as a solid base from which to expand into growth areas, such as Cybersecurity and key mission areas. We continually explore opportunities to leverage our existing capabilities, or develop or acquire additional ones, to expand into growth markets.
Sensing-Sensing encompasses technologies that acquire precise situational data across air, space, ground and underwater domains and then generate the information needed for effective battlespace decisions. Our Sensing technologies span the full electromagnetic spectrum, from traditional radio frequency (RF) and electro-optical (EO) to wideband, hyperspectral and acoustic sensors. We are focused on leveraging our sensing technologies to provide a broad range of capabilities as well as expanding into growth markets such as sensors to detect weapons of mass destruction.
Effects-Effects achieve specific military actions or outcomes, from small-unit force protection to theater/national missile defense. The missions may be achieved by kinetic means, electronic warfare, directed energy or information operations. Our Effects capabilities include advanced airframes, guidance and navigation systems, multiple sensor seekers, targeting, net-enabled systems, multi-dimensional effects, directed energy and cyber systems.
Command, Control, Communication and Intelligence (C3I)-C3I systems provide integrated real-time support to decision-makers on and off the battlefield, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. Our C3I capabilities include situational awareness, persistent surveillance, communications, mission planning, battle management command and control, intelligence and analysis, and integrated ground solutions. We are also continuing to grow our market presence in C3I and expand our knowledge management and discovery capabilities.
Mission Support-We are focused on enabling customer success through total life-cycle support that predicts customer needs, senses potential problems and proactively responds with the most appropriate solutions. Our Mission Support capabilities include technical services, system engineering, product support, logistics, training, operations and maintenance. Our training business continues to expand and we now train military, civil and commercial customers in over 80 countries and in 40 different languages.
Cyber-We continue to enhance our capabilities in the cyber market as well as leverage the capabilities of the thirteen cyber acquisitions made since 2007. We are focused on providing cyber capabilities to the Intelligence, DoD, DHS markets as well as embedding information assurance capabilities in our products and our IT infrastructure. In 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics Incorporated, which provides innovative software solutions for accessing, sharing, analyzing, and reporting on data across any domain in a secure and scalable manner.
Key Mission Areas-Within our market focus areas, we emphasize our capabilities in key mission areas of enduring importance to our customers. These key mission areas include missile defense, ISR and electronic warfare. In a budget-constrained environment, customers are increasingly seeking cost-effective mission solutions. These solutions can take the form of new electronics or electronic upgrades, but draw on our market focus area capabilities, deep domain expertise and system architecture skills.
International Growth
Because of the breadth of our offerings, our systems integration capability, the value of our solutions and our strong legacy in the international marketplace, we believe that we are well positioned to continue to grow our international business. As discussed under “International Considerations,” we believe demand continues to grow for solutions in air and missile defense, air traffic management, precision engagement, naval systems integration and ISR. In addition, as coalition forces increasingly integrate military operations worldwide, we believe that our capabilities in network-enabled operations will continue to be a key discriminator in these markets. Although we believe our international business is well positioned to continue to grow, we recognize that we face substantial competition from both U.S. companies and other competitors in international markets.

Includes foreign military sales through the U.S. Government.
Focus on the Customer and Execution
Our customer focus continues to be a critical part of our strategy-underpinned by a focus on performance, relationships and solutions. Performance means being able to meet customer commitments which is ensured through strong processes, metrics and oversight. We maintain a “process architecture” that spans our four businesses and our broad programs and pursuits. It consists of enterprise-wide processes and systems such as our Integrated Product Development System (IPDS), which assures consistency of evaluation and execution at each step in a program's life-cycle; Product Data Management (PDM), which is our business system software for engineering; Achieving Process Excellence (APEX), which is our SAP business system software for accounting, finance and program management; Process Re-Invention Integrating Systems for Manufacturing (PRISM), which is our SAP software for manufacturing operations; Advanced Company Estimating System (ACES) which is our cost proposal system; and Raytheon Enterprise Supplier Assessment (RESA) tool for Supply Chain Management. These processes and systems are linked to an array of front-end and back-end metrics. With this structure, we are able to track results and be alerted to potential issues through numerous oversight mechanisms, including operating reviews and annual operating plan reviews.
We are also continuing to build strong customer relationships by working with them as partners and including them on Raytheon Six SigmaTM teams to jointly improve their programs and processes. We are increasingly focused on responding to our customers' changing requirements with rapid and effective solutions to real-world problems. In recognition of our customers' constraints and priorities, we also continue to drive various cost reductions across the Company by continuing to focus on improving productivity and strong execution throughout our programs. We have worked to reduce costs across the Company, including through our recent consolidation, improve efficiencies in our production facilities, and continue to increase value through Raytheon Six SigmaTM, the implementation of lean processes, reduced cycle times and strategic supply chain initiatives, in addition to other initiatives.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY
We use the following key financial performance measures to manage our business on a consolidated basis and by business segment, and to monitor and assess our results of operations:
-
Bookings-a forward-looking metric that measures the value of firm orders awarded to us during the year;
-
Net Sales-a growth metric that measures our revenue for the current year;
-
Operating Income-a measure of our profit from continuing operations for the year, before non-operating expenses, net and taxes; and
-
Operating Margin-a measure of our operating income as a percentage of total net sales.
(1)
Includes FAS/CAS Adjustment, described below in Critical Accounting Estimates, of $249 million, $255 million and $337 million of expense in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
We also focus on earnings per share (EPS), including Adjusted EPS, and measures to assess our cash generation and the efficiency and effectiveness of our use of capital, such as free cash flow (FCF) and return on invested capital (ROIC).
Considered together, we believe these metrics are strong indicators of our overall performance and our ability to create shareholder value. We feel these measures are balanced among long-term and short-term performance, efficiency and growth. We also use these and other performance metrics for executive compensation purposes.
In addition, we maintain a strong focus on program execution and the prudent management of capital and investments in order to maximize operating income and cash. We pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our business, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and research and development; prudently managing our balance sheet, including debt repayments and pension contributions; and returning cash to our stockholders, including dividend payments and share repurchases.
Backlog represents the dollar value of firm orders for which work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss changes in backlog, including any significant cancellations, for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions of our contracts.
A discussion of our results of operations and financial condition follows below in Consolidated Results of Operations; Segment Results; Financial Condition and Liquidity; and Capital Resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty; therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements. We believe the estimates set forth below may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity in their application than our other accounting estimates and represent the critical accounting estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. We believe our judgments related to these accounting estimates are appropriate. However, if different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, the results could be materially different from the amounts recorded.
Revenue Recognition
We determine the appropriate method by which we recognize revenue by analyzing the type, terms and conditions of each contract or arrangement entered into with our customers. The significant estimates we make in recognizing revenue for the types of revenue-generating activities in which we are involved are described below. We classify contract revenues as product or service according to the predominant attributes of the relevant underlying contracts unless the contract can clearly be split between product and service. We define service revenue as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development or production of tangible assets, the delivery of software code or a specific capability. Our service revenue is primarily related to our IIS business segment.
Percentage-of-Completion Accounting-We use the percentage-of-completion accounting method to account for our long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment and related services, such as certain cost-plus service contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract. Our analysis of these contracts also contemplates
whether contracts should be combined or segmented in accordance with the applicable criteria under GAAP. We combine closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single project, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, we may segment a project, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. Judgment also is involved in determining whether a single contract or group of contracts may be segmented based on how the arrangement was negotiated and the performance criteria. The decision to combine a group of contracts or segment a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.
The selection of the method by which to measure progress towards completion of a contract also requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our long-term contracts unless we believe another method more clearly measures progress towards completion of the contract. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract. Contract costs include labor, materials and subcontractors costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded as costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion (the process for which we describe below in more detail) is complex and subject to many variables. Incentive and award fees generally are awarded at the discretion of the customer or upon achievement of certain program milestones or cost targets. Incentive and award fees, as well as penalties related to contract performance, are considered in estimating profit rates. Estimates of award fees are based on actual awards and anticipated performance, which may include the performance of subcontractors or partners depending on the individual contract requirements. Incentive provisions that increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single significant event generally are not recognized until the event occurs. Such incentives and penalties are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Our claims on contracts are recorded only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amounts can be reliably estimated.
We have a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and performance of our contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities, and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the contract (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain contracts. Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.
Net EAC adjustments had the following impact on our operating results:
Other Revenue Methods-To a much lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts such as service, commercial, or software and licensing arrangements. Revenue under fixed-price service contracts not associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment, and under commercial contracts, generally is recognized upon delivery or as services are rendered once persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Costs on fixed-price service contracts are expensed as incurred, unless they otherwise qualify for deferral. There were no costs deferred on fixed price service contracts at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We recognize revenue on contracts to sell software when evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been delivered and accepted by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For software arrangements that include multiple elements, including perpetual software licenses and undelivered items (e.g., maintenance and/or services; subscriptions/term licenses), we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered items based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and recognize revenue on the perpetual license using the residual method. We base VSOE of each element on the price for which the undelivered element is sold separately. We determine fair value of the undelivered elements based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the undelivered elements. When VSOE does not exist for undelivered items, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the applicable performance period. Revenue from non-software license fees is recognized over the expected life of the continued involvement with the customer. Additionally, royalty revenue is recognized when earned.
We apply the separation guidance under GAAP for contracts with multiple deliverables. We analyze revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables to determine if the deliverables should be divided into more than one unit of accounting. For contracts with more than one unit of accounting, we allocate the consideration we receive among the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices, which we determine based on prices of the deliverables as sold on a stand-alone basis, or if not sold on a stand-alone basis, the prices we would charge if sold on a stand-alone basis, and we recognize revenue for each deliverable based on the revenue recognition policies described above.
Other Considerations-The majority of our sales are driven by pricing based on costs incurred to produce products or perform services under contracts with the U.S. Government. Cost-based pricing is determined under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The FAR provides guidance on the types of costs that are allowable in establishing prices for goods and services under U.S. Government contracts. For example, costs such as those related to charitable contributions, certain merger and acquisition costs, lobbying costs, interest expense and certain litigation defense costs are unallowable. In addition, we may enter into agreements with the U.S. Government that address the allowability and allocation of costs to contracts for specific matters. Certain costs incurred in the performance of our U.S. Government contracts are required to be recorded under GAAP but are not currently allocable to contracts. Such costs are deferred and primarily include a portion of our environmental expenses, asset retirement obligations, certain restructuring costs, deferred state income taxes, workers’ compensation and certain other accruals. These costs are allocated to contracts when they are paid or otherwise agreed. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs. This assessment requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future contract activity. If the level of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral of these costs, the profitability of our remaining contracts could be adversely affected.
Pension and other postretirement benefits costs are allocated to our contracts as allowed costs based upon the U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The CAS requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits costs differ from the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP. Given the inability to match with reasonable certainty individual expense and income items between the CAS and FAS requirements to determine specific recoverability, we have not estimated the incremental FAS income or expense to be recoverable under our expected future contract activity, and therefore did not defer any FAS expense for pension and other postretirement benefit plans in 2011-2013. This resulted in $249 million, $255 million and $337 million of expense in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reflected in our consolidated results of operations as the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and other postretirement benefits plans in those years.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Costs
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We must calculate our pension and other postretirement benefits (PRB) costs under both CAS and FAS requirements under GAAP, and both calculations require judgment. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not indicative of the funding requirements for pension and PRB plans that we determine under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension and PRB costs on U.S. Government contracts. The CAS requirements for pension costs and its calculation methodology differ from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both CAS and FAS use long-term assumptions in their calculation methodologies, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB cost. In addition, we are subject to the funding requirements under the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA), which amended ERISA. Under the PPA, we are required to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the PPA calculated funded status at the beginning of each year. The funding requirements are primarily based on the year’s expected service cost and amortization of other previously unfunded liabilities.
On December 27, 2011, the CAS Pension Harmonization Rule (CAS Harmonization) was published in the Federal Register. The rule impacts pension costs on contracts beginning in 2013 and was effective for forward pricing purposes for contracts negotiated on or after February 27, 2012. The rule intends to improve the alignment of the pension cost recovered through contract pricing under CAS and the pension funding requirements under the PPA. The rule shortens the CAS amortization period for gains and losses from 15 to 10 years and requires the use of a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to measure liabilities in determining the CAS pension expense. While the change in amortization period was applicable in 2013, there is a transition period for the impact of the change in liability measurement method of 0% in 2013, 25% in 2014, 50% in 2015, 75% in 2016 and 100% in 2017. CAS Harmonization is currently expected to increase pension costs under CAS and decrease our FAS/CAS expense primarily in 2014 and beyond due to the liability measurement transition period included in the rule. Since the pension cost increases occur primarily in 2014 and beyond, the impact to our contracts in existence prior to February 27, 2012 was not material. Furthermore, since CAS Harmonization is a mandatory change in cost accounting for government contractors, we may be entitled to an equitable adjustment for some portion of the increase in costs on contracts which we are currently negotiating with the government.
We record CAS expense in our business segment results. Due to the differences between FAS and CAS amounts, we also present the difference between FAS and CAS expense, referred to as our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, which is a component of our total FAS/CAS Adjustment, disclosed as a separate line item in our segment results. This effectively increases or decreases the amount of total pension expense in our results of operations so that such amount is equal to the FAS expense amount under GAAP. Due to the foregoing differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension expense or income is not indicative of the funding requirements or amount of government recovery.
The assumptions in the calculations of our pension FAS expense and CAS expense, which involve significant judgment, are described below.
FAS Expense-Our long-term return on plan assets (ROA) and discount rate assumptions are the key variables in determining pension expense or income and the funded status of our pension plans under GAAP.
The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions, or other major factors. To establish our long-term ROA assumption, we employ a “building block” approach. As part of our annual process for determining whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption, we first review the existing long-term ROA assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes, which we consider to be between the 25th and 75th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over future years (consistent with Actuarial Standards of Practice 27). Therefore, it is less than 25 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan would fall below or above the 25th and 75th percentiles points, respectively (i.e., it is 50 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile range). The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. Such assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short and long-term periods and also take into
consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and interest rates. The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2013, 2012 and 2011, are shown below.
Long-term domestic ROA of 8.75% fell between the 65th-70th percentile, 60th-65th percentile and 50th-55th percentile of the reasonable range for 2013, 2012 and 2011. respectively. The 50th percentile of the reasonable range used to develop each of the 2013, 2012 and 2011 long-term ROA was 7.51%, 7.99% and 8.66%, respectively.
The reasonable range of long-term returns used to validate our assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2014 is between 5.53% at the 25th percentile and 9.65% at the 75th percentile. The long-term ROA assumption of 8.75%, which is used in the calculation of net periodic benefit cost for 2014, falls between the 60th-65th percentile of reasonable range results with the 50th percentile at 7.59%. While there have been increases and decreases in the reasonable range over the periods presented, driven by various factors, our expected long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% has consistently fallen within that range.
Once our long-term ROA has been determined to be within the 25th to 75th percentile range of results, we review historical averages and patterns of returns to confirm reasonability of our long-term ROA assumption compared to past results. While history is not solely indicative of future market expectations, it does provide insight into general historical trends and long-term asset performance. In validating the 2013 long-term ROA assumption, we reviewed our pension plan asset performance since 1986. Our average annual actual rate of return since 1986 of 9.29%, determined on an arithmetic basis, exceeds our estimated 8.75% assumed return. Arithmetic annual averages represent the simple average returns over independent annual periods, whereas geometric returns reflect the compound average returns of dependent annual periods. The average annual actual return on a geometric basis for the same period was 8.57%. In addition, the actual annual returns have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% in seven of the past ten years. Since we have not had a significant change in investment strategy, our existing long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% is within the reasonable range and our historical trends and averages do not indicate a trend or pattern of returns significantly above or below our existing assumption, we determined our long-term ROA assumption for our domestic pension plans in 2013 would remain at 8.75%, consistent with our 2012 assumption. If we significantly change our long-term investment allocation or strategy, or if there is a significant change in the economic assumptions, then our long-term ROA assumption could change.
In September 2013, the Actuarial Standards Board issued a revision to Actuarial Standard of Practice No. 27, Selection of Economic Assumptions for Measuring Pension Obligations (ASOP 27) that replaces the best estimate range concept with the selection of a reasonable assumption that considers multiple criteria including the purpose of measurement, the actuary's professional judgment, historical and current economic data, estimates of future experience and has no significant bias. The revised standard is effective for assumptions established on or after September 30, 2014. Although we continue to evaluate the impact and application of ASOP 27, based on our current asset allocation and market outlook, management does not anticipate that the revised ASOP 27 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 15%, 12% and (1)% for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred losses.
The investment policy asset allocation ranges for our domestic pension plans, as set by our Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
Our long-term ROA assumptions for foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.
The discount rate represents the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of future cash flows currently expected to be required to settle our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. The discount rate assumption is determined by using a theoretical bond portfolio model consisting of bonds AA rated or better by Moody’s for which the timing and amount of cash flows approximate the estimated benefit payments for each of our pension plans. The discount rate assumption for our domestic pension plans at December 31, 2013 is 5.08%, which represents a weighted-average discount rate across our plans, compared to the December 31, 2012 discount rate of 4.15% as a result of the bond environment at December 31, 2012.
CAS Expense-In addition to providing the methodology for calculating pension costs, CAS also prescribes the method for assigning those costs to specific periods. While the ultimate liability for pension costs under FAS and CAS is similar, the pattern of cost recognition is different. The key drivers of CAS pension expense include the funded status and the method used to calculate CAS reimbursement for each of our plans. Under the prior CAS rules, the discount rate used to measure liabilities was required to be consistent with the long-term ROA assumption, which changes infrequently given its long-term nature. In addition to certain other changes, CAS Harmonization requires contractors to compare the liability under the prior CAS methodology and assumptions to a liability using a discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds, and use the greater of the two liability calculations in developing CAS expense. In addition, unlike FAS, we can only allocate pension costs for a plan under CAS until such plan is fully funded as determined under CAS requirements. When the estimated future CAS pension costs increase, the estimated CAS cost allocated to our contracts in the future increases.
Other FAS and CAS Considerations-An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the discount rate assumption would have had the following approximate impacts on 2013 FAS pension results:
While changes in the high quality corporate bond rate assumption do not impact the CAS discount rate for purposes of determining the 2013 CAS pension expense, this assumption will impact CAS pension expense in future periods, due to CAS Harmonization.
An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the long-term ROA assumption would have the following approximate impacts on 2013 FAS and CAS pension results:
A 25 basis point increase or decrease in our long-term ROA assumption would result in a decrease or increase to our FAS pension expense by approximately $40 million for 2013. In addition to the impact on our 2013 FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, a portion of the $34 million change in CAS pension expense would also be allocated to fixed price contracts in backlog and, would either increase or decrease the profit rate on those contracts at the time of such a change (i.e., a change in the long-term ROA assumption on January 1, 2013 would drive a change in estimated costs in EACs and related contract profit rates as of December 31, 2012). The contract impact resulting from the change in CAS pension expense is difficult to estimate because remaining performance periods can vary, the amount and timing of expected new awards (i.e., the proposals expected to be awarded in the year which will bear their allocated portion of the change in CAS pension expense), and our mix of fixed price and cost reimbursable contracts can change. Based on our contract profile at December 31, 2013, if we had 60 percent of our backlog in fixed price contracts, and they were on average 50 percent complete, with our actual new award profile for 2013, a 25 basis point change in our long-term ROA assumption at January 1, 2013 would drive approximately $10 million of aggregate total EAC adjustments at December 31, 2012. In addition, our fixed price contracts in backlog as of December 31, 2012 would have a lower profit rate in 2013, resulting in approximately $5 million impact as costs are incurred in that year on those contracts. The total impact on 2012 would be approximately $10 million driven by the aggregate EAC adjustments and the total impact on 2013 would be approximately $11 million (the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment and the lower profit rate impact in 2013 on fixed price contracts in backlog at December 31, 2012). A change in our long-term ROA assumption would be subject to review by our government customer for reasonableness. Given our history of recovering changes to CAS pension expense, we expect the assumption change would be allocable and allowable, per regulatory guidelines, as long as the assumption is reasonable. The transition to CAS Harmonization may gradually reduce the impact that a change to the long-term ROA assumption will have on CAS pension expense in future years as CAS Harmonization is phased in (as discussed in more detail under the CAS Expense section above).
In accordance with both FAS and CAS, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a certain prior period (three years for FAS and five years for CAS, subject to certain limitations under CAS on the difference between the market-related value and actual market value of assets). Because of this difference in the number of years over which actual asset gains or losses are recognized and subsequently amortized, FAS expense generally tends to reflect recent asset gains or losses faster than CAS. Another driver of CAS expense (but not FAS expense) is the funded status of our pension plans under CAS. As noted above, CAS expense is only recognized for plans that are not fully funded; consequently, if plans become or cease to be fully funded under CAS due to our asset or liability experience, our CAS expense will change accordingly.
Under FAS, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated "market-related value" of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS expense.
For 2014 compared to 2013, we currently expect our FAS expense to decrease and our CAS expense to increase, which causes the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to increase income. We expect the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to be approximately $346 million of income driven by the higher discount rate environment, the differences in the recognition period for actual asset gains and losses under FAS and CAS and CAS harmonization, as described above. This expected
decrease in FAS expense and increase in CAS expense is subject to our annual update, generally planned in the third quarter, of our actuarial estimate of the unfunded benefit obligation for both FAS and CAS for final census data. After 2014, the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment is more difficult to predict because future FAS and CAS expense is based on a number of key assumptions for future periods. Differences between those assumptions and future actual results could significantly change both FAS and CAS expense in future periods. However, based solely on our current assumptions at December 31, 2013 and taking into account CAS Harmonization, which increases CAS expense in 2014 and beyond, we would expect our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to increase income in 2015.
Our pension and other postretirement benefits plans’ investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities (common and preferred) are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed-income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Investments in private equity and private real estate funds are estimated at fair market value, which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund administrator. We review independently appraised values, audited financial statements and additional pricing information to evaluate the net asset values. For the very limited group of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value, additional information is obtained from the investment manager and evaluated internally to determine whether any adjustments are required to reflect fair value.
The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) related to pension and other postretirement benefit plans was as follows:
The balance in AOCL related to our pension and other postretirement benefits plans is composed primarily of differences between changes in discount rates, differences between actual and expected asset returns, differences between actual and assumed demographic experience, and changes in plan provisions. Changes to our pension and other postretirement benefits obligation as a result of these variables are initially reflected in other comprehensive income. The deferred gains and losses are amortized and included in future pension expense over the average employee service period of approximately 10 years at December 31, 2013. The $2,967 million in 2013 gains arising during the period were driven primarily by the increase in the discount rate from 4.15% at December 31, 2012 to 5.08% at December 31, 2013, which had an impact of approximately $2.4 billion and actual returns, which were higher than our expected return, which had an impact of approximately $1.1 billion partially offset by other actuarial factors. The $2,225 million in 2012 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the discount rate from 5.00% at December 31, 2011 to 4.15% at December 31, 2012, which had an impact of approximately $2.0 billion. The $3,645 million in 2011 losses arising during the period were driven primarily by the decrease in the discount rate from 5.75% at December 31, 2010 to 5.00% at December 31, 2011, which had an impact of approximately $1.7 billion, as well as actual asset returns which were lower than our expected return, which had an impact of approximately $1.5 billion.
Impairment of Goodwill
We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually as of the first day of our fiscal fourth quarter and in any interim period in which circumstances arise that indicate our goodwill may be impaired. Indicators of impairment include, but are not limited to, the loss of significant business, significant decreases in federal government appropriations or funding for our contracts, or other significant adverse changes in industry or market conditions. In connection with our business consolidation, goodwill was allocated to our reporting units (our four business segments) on a relative fair value basis. We performed an interim goodwill impairment test and there was no indication of impairment. No events occurred during the periods presented that indicated the existence of an impairment with respect to our goodwill. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units using a discounted cash flow (DCF) model based on our most recent long-range plan in place at the time of our impairment testing, and compare the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to its net book value, including goodwill. We discount the cash flow forecasts using the weighted-average cost of capital method at the date of evaluation. The weighted-average cost of capital is comprised of the estimated required rate of return on equity, based on publicly available data for peer companies, plus an equity risk premium related to specific company risk factors, and the after-tax rate of return on debt, weighted at the relative values of the estimated debt and equity for the industry. Preparation of forecasts for use in the long-range plan and the selection of the discount rate involve significant judgments that we base primarily on existing firm orders, expected future orders, contracts with suppliers, labor agreements and general market conditions. Significant changes in these forecasts or the discount rate selected could affect the estimated fair value of one or more of our reporting units and could result in a goodwill impairment charge in a future period. When available and as appropriate, we also use comparative market multiples to corroborate our DCF model results. There was no indication of goodwill impairment as a result of our 2013 annual impairment analysis, as the fair values of each of our reporting units exceeded their respective net book values, including goodwill. Based on our 2013 impairment analysis, the reporting unit that was closest to impairment had a fair value in excess of net book value, including goodwill, of approximately 75%. All other factors being equal, a 10% decrease in expected future cash flows for that reporting unit would result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 55%. Alternatively, all other factors being equal, a 100 basis points increase in the discount rate used in the calculation of the fair value of that reporting unit would result in an excess of fair value over net book value of approximately 50%. If we are required to record an impairment charge in the future, it could materially affect our results of operations.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Total Net Sales
The composition of external net sales by products and services for each segment in 2013 was approximately the following:
Total Net Sales - 2013 vs. 2012-The decrease in total net sales of $708 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external net sales of $324 million at SAS and $323 million at IIS. The decrease in external net sales at SAS was primarily due to lower net sales on certain classified programs and on certain intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance programs due to reduced program requirements. The decrease in external net sales at IIS was primarily due to lower net sales on classified programs, lower net sales on training programs supporting the U.S. Army’s Warfighter FOCUS activities due to a decrease in customer determined activity levels, and lower net sales on the National Science Foundation (NSF) Polar program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2012.
Products and Services Net Sales - 2013 vs. 2012-The decrease in product net sales of $525 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external products net sales of $306 million at SAS, principally driven by the programs and for the reasons described above. The decrease in services net sales of $183 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external services net sales of $207 million at IIS, principally driven by the training programs supporting the U.S. Army's Warfighter FOCUS activities and the NSF Polar program described above.
Total Net Sales - 2012 vs. 2011-The decrease in total net sales of $377 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower external net sales of $178 million at IIS, $141 million at MS and $101 million at SAS. The decrease in external net sales at IIS was primarily due to lower net sales on the NSF Polar program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in external net sales at MS was primarily due to lower net sales on U.S. Army sensor programs driven principally by planned declines in production and lower net sales on an air warfare systems program due to lower volume driven by scheduled lower production rates. The lower net sales at MS were partially offset by higher net sales on the Standard Missile 3 (SM-3™) program due to higher volume driven by scheduled increases in production and development efforts. The decrease in external net sales at SAS was primarily due to lower net sales on certain radio and communications programs driven principally by reduced customer program requirements, lower net sales due to lower volume on certain sensor systems programs due to program schedule requirements and lower net sales of acoustic sensor systems due to higher 2011 deliveries based on customer demand, partially offset by higher net sales due to increased volume on an international tactical airborne radar program primarily due to program schedule requirements. The remaining change in external net sales at SAS was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.
Products and Services Net Sales - 2012 vs. 2011-The decrease in product net sales of $345 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower external products net sales of $165 million at IIS, $144 million at SAS and $119 million at MS. The decrease in external product net sales at IIS was primarily due to lower net sales on the UKBA program and lower net sales on various classified programs. The decrease in external product net sales at SAS and MS were primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons described above. Services net sales in 2012 were relatively consistent with 2011.
Sales to Major Customers-The following is a breakdown of net sales to major customers:
(1)
Excludes foreign military sales through the U.S. Government.
(2)
Includes foreign military sales through the U.S. Government.
As described above in Industry Considerations, U.S. defense spending levels are difficult to predict due to numerous factors, including U.S. Government budget appropriation decisions and geo-political events and macroeconomic conditions.
Total Cost of Sales
Cost of sales, for both products and services, consists of labor, materials and subcontractors costs, as well as related allocated costs. For each of our contracts, we manage the nature and amount of direct costs at the contract level, and manage indirect costs through cost pools as required by government accounting regulations. The estimate of the actual amount of direct and indirect costs forms the basis for estimating our total costs at completion of the contract.
Total Cost of Sales - 2013 vs. 2012-The decrease in total cost of sales of $560 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external cost of sales of $264 million at IIS and $232 million at SAS, both primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales.
Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2013 vs. 2012-The decrease in products cost of sales of $420 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external products cost of sales of $197 million at SAS and $141 million at IDS. The decrease in external products cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales. The decrease in external products cost of sales at IDS was primarily due to the scheduled completion of certain production phases on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2008, partially offset by higher external products cost of sales on other integrated air and missile defense programs for international and domestic customers, driven principally by scheduled program production requirements and timing of new awards, and higher external products cost of sales on a missile defense radar program for an international customer driven principally by scheduled program production requirements. The remaining change in external products costs of sales at IDS was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. The decrease in services cost of sales of $140 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower external services cost of sales of $175 million at IIS, driven principally by activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales.
Total Cost of Sales - 2012 vs. 2011-The decrease in total cost of sales of $572 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower external cost of sales of $235 million at IIS and $140 million at SAS and $82 million of lower expense in 2012 compared to 2011 related to the FAS/CAS Adjustment described below in Segment Results. The decrease in external cost of sales at IIS was primarily due to the NSF Polar contract described above in Total Net Sales and by activity on the UKBA Program, including $80 million related to the UKBA LOC Adjustment in the first quarter of 2011, as described in Commitments and Contingencies beginning on page 69. The decrease in external cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales as well as lower volume on certain sensor systems programs due to program schedule requirements.
Products and Services Cost of Sales - 2012 vs. 2011-The decrease in products cost of sales of $533 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower external product cost of sales of $219 million at IIS and $186 million at SAS. The decrease in external products cost of sales at IIS was driven principally by activity on the UKBA Program, including $80 million related to the UKBA LOC Adjustment in the first quarter of 2011, as described in Commitments and Contingencies beginning on page 69. The decrease in external product cost of sales at SAS was primarily due to the activity on the programs and for the reasons described above in Total Net Sales as well as lower volume on certain sensor systems programs due to program schedule requirements. Services cost of sales in 2012 was relatively consistent with 2011.
General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in administrative and selling expenses of $111 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a $36 million decrease in net state taxes allocated to our contracts, $34 million driven by the timing of bid and proposal expenses on various contract pursuits, and a $17 million decrease in marketing and selling expenses.
The increase in administrative and selling expenses of $35 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to increased bid and proposal expenses of $73 million due to the timing of various radar, classified, electronic warfare and communications programs and an increase of $62 million in state taxes allocated to our contracts, partially offset by decreases in marketing and selling expenses of $47 million, $27 million of lower acquisition-related costs for Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (RAST), and a $15 million increase in insurance recovery, net of legal and period expenses, in connection with the UKBA Program dispute and arbitration at IIS.
The provision for state income taxes generally can be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government. Net state income taxes allocated to our contracts were $42 million, $78 million and $16 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
Research and development expenses in 2013 were relatively consistent in amount and as a percentage of total net sales with 2012 and 2011.
Total Operating Expenses
The decrease in total operating expenses of $657 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in total cost of sales of $560 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Cost of Sales.
The decrease in total operating expenses of $536 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in total cost of sales of $572 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Cost of Sales.
Operating Income
The decrease in operating income of $51 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to the decrease in total net sales of $708 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Net Sales, offset by the decrease in total operating expenses of $657 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Operating Expenses.
The increase in operating income of $159 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was due to the decrease in total operating expenses of $536 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Operating Expenses, offset by the decrease in total net sales of $377 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the change in operating income were the remaining net EAC adjustments described in Segment Results beginning on page 49.
Total Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net
The decrease in total non-operating (income) expense, net of $29 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the $29 million pretax charge associated with the make-whole provision on the early repurchase of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2012.
The increase in total non-operating (income) expense, net of $40 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the $29 million pretax charge associated with the make-whole provision on the early repurchase of long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $29 million of higher interest expense, principally due to the issuance of $1.0 billion of fixed rate long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by a $15 million change in the fair value of investments held in rabbi trusts associated with certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans due to a net gain of $14 million in 2012 compared to a net loss of $1 million in 2011.
Federal and Foreign Income Taxes
The decrease in federal and foreign income taxes of $70 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the reinstatement of the U.S. research and development (R&D) tax credit described below. The increase in federal and foreign income taxes of $96 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to timing of the settlement related to the 2006-2008 IRS audit examination cycle.
Our effective tax rate, which is used to determine federal and foreign income tax expense, differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to the following:
Our effective tax rate reflects the 35% U.S. statutory rate adjusted for various permanent differences between book and tax reporting. In January 2013, Congress enacted legislation that retroactively reinstated the research and development (R&D) tax credit for 2012 and extended it through December 31, 2013. In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded a benefit of approximately $25 million related to the 2012 R&D credit and we have recognized the benefit of approximately $25 million related to the 2013 R&D credit ratably throughout the year.
During 2013, the IRS completed its examination of our 2009 and 2010 tax years and we received final approval from the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) of a refund claim related to the 2011 tax year which completed IRS examinations through 2011. During 2012, we received final approval from the IRS and the JCT on settlement for the 2006-2008 IRS examination cycle (2012 Tax Settlement). During 2011, we received final approval from the IRS and the JCT of our Minimum Tax Refund claim for the 2006-2008 IRS examination cycle, which related to items not included in the 2012 Tax Settlement (2011 Tax Settlement).
Our effective tax rate in 2013 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction which decreased the rate by approximately 2.1%, and the R&D tax credit, which decreased the rate by approximately 1.8%. Our effective tax rate in 2012 was lower than the statutory federal tax rate primarily due to the domestic manufacturing deduction which decreased the rate by approximately 1.9%, and the 2012 Tax Settlement, which decreased the rate by approximately 0.8%.
The decrease in our effective tax rate of 2.3% in 2013 was primarily due to the reinstatement of the R&D tax credit, which changed the rate by approximately 1.8%. Our effective tax rate in 2012 was 2.2% higher than 2011 primarily due to the difference between the 2011 and 2012 Tax Settlement amounts, which changed the rate by approximately 1.8%.
Our effective tax rate in 2011 was lower than the U.S. statutory tax rate primarily due to the 2011 Tax Settlement, which decreased the rate by approximately 2.6%, and the domestic manufacturing deduction, which decreased the rate by approximately 1.8%, and the U.S. research and development tax credit, which decreased the rate by approximately 1.0%.
Income from Continuing Operations
The increase in income from continuing operations of $48 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the $70 million decrease in federal and foreign income taxes, related primarily to the change in the effective tax rate described above in Federal and Foreign Income Taxes, and the $29 million decrease in total non-operating expenses, net, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net, partially offset by the $51 million decrease in operating income, described above in Operating Income.
The increase in income from continuing operations of $23 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the $159 million increase in operating income, described above in Operating Income, partially offset by the $96 million increase in federal and foreign income taxes, related primarily to higher levels of income and the change in the effective tax rate described above in Federal and Foreign Income Taxes and the $40 million increase in total non-operating expenses, net, the primary drivers of which are described above in Total Non-Operating (Income) Expense, Net.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax
The increase in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $65 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the favorable resolution of two separate tax matters related to our previously disposed commercial aircraft businesses.
The decrease in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $19 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to $19 million less of income, net of tax, related to our former turbo-prop commuter aircraft portfolio, Raytheon Airline Aviation Services (RAAS), in 2012 compared to 2011.
Net Income
The increase in net income of $113 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to the increase in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $65 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax, and the increase in income from continuing operations of $48 million described above in Income from Continuing Operations.
The increase in net income of $4 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the increase in income from continuing operations of $23 million described above in Income from Continuing Operations, partially offset by the decrease in income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $19 million, the primary drivers of which are described above in Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.
Diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) from Continuing Operations Attributable to Raytheon Company Common Stockholders
The increase in diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders of $0.31 in 2013 compared to 2012 and $0.43 in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in diluted weighted average shares outstanding, which was affected by the common stock share activity shown in the table below.
Our common stock share activity for the years ended 2013, 2012, and 2011 was as follows:
Warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, with an exercise price of $37.50 per share, were included in our calculations of diluted EPS at December 31, 2011. These warrants expired in June 2011.
Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share from Discontinued Operations Attributable to Raytheon Company Common Stockholders
Diluted earnings (loss) per share from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders were earnings of $0.20 in 2013, a loss of less than $0.01 in 2012, and earnings of $0.05 in 2011. The increase in diluted earnings (loss) per share from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders of $0.20 in 2013 compared to 2012 and the decrease of $0.05 in 2012 compared to 2011 were primarily due to the activity described above in Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations, Net of Tax.
Diluted EPS Attributable to Raytheon Company Common Stockholders
The increases in diluted EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders of $0.51 in 2013 compared to 2012 and $0.37 in 2012 compared to 2011 were primarily due to the decreases in diluted shares and the changes in Diluted Earnings (Loss) per Share from Discontinued Operations Attributable to Raytheon Company Common Stockholders described above.
Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS was as follows:
Adjusted EPS is diluted EPS from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders excluding the EPS impact of the FAS/CAS Adjustment, tax effected at the federal statutory rate of 35%, and from time to time, certain other items. In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, our 2013 Adjusted EPS also excludes the EPS impact of the R&D tax credit that relates to 2012. In January 2013, Congress approved legislation that included the extension of the R&D tax credit. The legislation retroactively reinstated the R&D tax credit for 2012 and extended it through December 31,
2013. As a result, we recorded the 2012 benefit in the first quarter of 2013. In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, our 2012 Adjusted EPS also excludes the EPS impact of the make-whole provision on the early retirement of debt and includes the favorable impact from the $25 million ($0.07 per diluted share) 2012 R&D tax credit that was recorded for GAAP reporting in the first quarter of 2013. The difference between the first quarter of 2013 ($0.08 per share) and full-year 2012 ($0.07 per share) impact of the 2012 R&D tax credit is due to a higher number of diluted shares for the full-year 2012 as compared to the first quarter of 2013. In addition to the FAS/CAS Adjustment, our 2011 Adjusted EPS also excludes the EPS impact of the 2011 Tax Settlement, and the UKBA LOC Adjustment tax effected at the 2011 U.K. statutory tax rate of approximately 25%, as described in Commitments and Contingencies, beginning on page 69. We are providing Adjusted EPS because management uses it for the purpose of evaluating and forecasting our financial performance and believes that it provides additional insight into our underlying business performance. We believe it allows investors to benefit from being able to assess our operating performance in the context of how our principal customer, the U.S. Government, allows us to recover pension and other postretirement benefit costs and to better compare our operating performance to others in the industry on that same basis. Adjusted EPS is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial performance in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EPS may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner and the amounts presented may not recalculate directly due to rounding.
SEGMENT RESULTS
We report our results in the following segments: IDS; IIS; MS; and SAS. The following provides some context for viewing our segment performance through the eyes of management.
Given the nature of our business, bookings, net sales, and operating income (and the related operating margin percentage), which we disclose and discuss at the segment level, are most relevant to an understanding of management’s view of our segment performance, and often these measures have significant interrelated effects, as described below. In addition, we disclose and discuss backlog, which represents future sales that we expect to recognize over the remaining contract period, which is generally several years. We also disclose cost of sales and the components of cost of sales within our segment disclosures.
Bookings-We disclose the amount of bookings and notable contract awards for each segment. Bookings generally represent the dollar value of new contracts awarded to us during the reporting period and include firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated. We believe bookings are an important measure of future performance and are an indicator of potential future changes in total net sales, because we cannot record revenues under a new contract without first having a booking in the current or a preceding period.
Bookings are impacted by the timing and amounts of awards in a given period, which are subject to numerous factors, including the desired capability by the customer and urgency of customer needs; fiscal constraints placed on customer budgets; political uncertainty; the timing of customer negotiations; the timing of governmental approvals and notifications; and the timing of option exercises or increases in scope. In addition, due to these factors, quarterly bookings tend to fluctuate from period to period, particularly on a segment basis. As a result, we believe comparing bookings on a quarterly basis or periods less than one year is less meaningful than for longer periods and that shorter term changes in bookings may not necessarily indicate a material trend.
Included in bookings were international bookings of $6,604 million, $5,979 million and $7,692 million in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively, which included foreign military bookings through the U.S. Government. International bookings amounted to 30%, 23% and 29% of total bookings in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. Classified bookings amounted to 13%, 16% and 12% of total bookings in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively.
We record bookings for not-to-exceed contract awards (e.g. undefinitized contract awards, binding letter agreements) based on reasonable estimates of expected contract definitization, which will generally not be less than 75% of the award. We subsequently adjust bookings to reflect the actual amounts definitized, or, when prior to definitization, when facts and circumstances indicate that our previously estimated amounts are no longer reasonable. The timing of awards that may cover multiple fiscal years influences the size of bookings in each year. Bookings exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contracts), and are reduced for contract cancellations and terminations of bookings recognized in the current year. We reflect contract cancellations and terminations from prior year bookings, as well as the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, directly as an adjustment to backlog in the period in which the cancellation or termination occurs and the impact is determinable.
Backlog-We disclose period-ending backlog for each segment. Backlog represents the dollar value of firm orders for which work has not been performed. Backlog generally increases with bookings and generally converts into sales as we incur costs under the related contractual commitments. Therefore, we discuss changes in backlog, including any significant cancellations, for each of our segments, as we believe such discussion provides an understanding of the awarded but not executed portions of our contracts.
Total backlog includes both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually obligated by the customer for which work has not been performed) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated and/or contractually obligated by the customer for which work has not been performed). Revenue is generally not recognized on backlog until funded. Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts (e.g., IDIQ). Both funded and unfunded backlog are affected by changes in foreign exchange rates.
Total Net Sales-We generally express changes in net sales in terms of volume. Volume generally refers to increases or decreases in revenues related to varying amounts of total operating expenses, which are comprised of cost of sales and general and administrative expenses, which include administrative and selling expenses (including bid and proposal costs) and research and development expenses, incurred on individual contracts (i.e., from performance against contractual commitments on our bookings related to engineering, production or service activity). Therefore, we discuss volume changes attributable principally to individual programs unless there is a discrete event (e.g., a major contract termination, natural disaster or major labor strike), or some other unusual item that has a material effect on changes in a segment's volume for a reported period. Due to the nature of our contracts, the amount of costs incurred and related revenues will naturally fluctuate over the lives of our contracts. As a result, in any reporting period, the changes in volume on numerous contracts are likely to be due to normal fluctuations in our engineering, production or service activities.
Total net sales by segment were as follows:
Total Operating Expenses-We generally disclose operating expenses for each segment in terms of the following: 1) cost of sales-labor; 2) cost of sales-materials and subcontractors; and 3) other costs of sales and other operating expenses.
Included in cost of sales-labor is the incurred direct labor associated with the performance of contracts in the current period and any applicable overhead and fringe costs. Included in cost of sales-materials and subcontractors is the incurred direct materials, subcontractor costs (which could include effort performed by other Raytheon segments or locations), and applicable overhead allocations in the current period. Included in other cost of sales and other operating expenses is other direct costs not captured in labor or material and subcontractor costs, such as precontract costs previously deferred, costs previously deferred into inventory on contracts using commercial or units of delivery accounting, applicable overhead allocations, general and administrative expenses, which include administrative and selling expenses (including bid and proposal costs) and research and development expenses, other direct costs (such as ancillary services and travel expenses) and adjustments for loss contracts.
Operating Income (and the related operating margin percentage)-We generally express changes in segment operating income in terms of volume, net changes in EAC adjustments or changes in contract mix and other program performance.
The impact of changes in volume on operating income excludes the impact of net EAC adjustments and the impact of changes in contract mix and other program performance and is calculated based on changes in costs on individual programs at an overall margin for the segment.
Changes in net EAC adjustments typically relate to the current period impact of revisions to total estimated revenues and costs at completion. These changes reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. We have a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly EAC process in which management reviews the progress and performance of our contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities, and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the contract (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain contracts. Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. Given that we have over 15,000 individual contracts and the types and complexity of the assumptions and estimates we must make on an on-going basis, as discussed above, we have both favorable and unfavorable EAC adjustments. We had the following aggregate EAC adjustments for the periods presented:
In recent years, our net EAC adjustments generally have been between 2.0% and 2.5% of total net sales. For 2013, 2012 and 2011, our net EAC adjustments as a percentage of total net sales were 2.3%, 2.5% and 2.2%, respectively.
There were no significant individual EAC adjustments in 2013 and 2012. There was one significant individual EAC adjustment in 2011 for the UKBA LOC Adjustment of $80 million.
The $56 million decrease in net EAC adjustments in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in net EAC adjustments at SAS as described beginning on page 59.
The $65 million increase in net EAC adjustments in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the impact of the UKBA LOC Adjustment described above.
Changes in contract mix and other program performance refer to changes in operating margin due to a change in the relative volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes and other drivers of program performance, including margin rate increases or decreases due to EAC adjustments in prior periods. A higher or lower expected fee rate at the initial award of a contract typically correlates to the contract's risk profile, which is often specifically driven by the type of customer and related procurement regulations, the type of contract (e.g., fixed price vs. cost plus), the maturity of the product or service, and the scope of work. Changes in contract mix and other performance also include all other items which are not related to volume or EAC adjustments.
Because each segment has thousands of contracts in any reporting period, changes in operating income and margin are likely to be due to normal changes in volume, net EAC adjustments, and contract mix and other performance on many contracts with no single change, or series of related changes, materially driving a segment's change in operating income or operating margin percentage.
Operating income by segment was as follows:

Total Net Sales-Total net sales in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012. Included in total net sales in 2013 was $275 million of lower net sales from the scheduled completion of certain production phases on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2008. The decrease was offset by higher net sales of $339 million on other integrated air and missile defense programs for international and domestic customers, driven principally by scheduled program production requirements and timing of new awards, and higher net sales of $115 million on a missile defense radar program for an international customer driven principally by scheduled program production requirements. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.
Total net sales in 2012 were relatively consistent with 2011. Included in total net sales in 2012 was higher net sales of $281 million on an international Patriot program awarded in the second quarter of 2011 as the program transitioned into full production, $194 million on a missile defense radar program for an international customer as the program transitioned into full production, $155 million on various Patriot programs for an international customer, driven principally by scheduled program production requirements, $109 million on a close combat tactical radar program and $59 million on an air traffic control program due to planned increases in production. These increases were partially offset by $210 million of lower net sales from the scheduled completion of certain design and production phases on an international Patriot program awarded in the first quarter of 2008, $164 million from the scheduled completion of certain design and production phases on a U.S. Navy combat systems program, $144 million of lower net sales on various global integrated sensors programs, $74 million of lower net sales on various air traffic control programs due to planned declines in production and $61 million of lower net sales on an international C4I program driven principally by program schedule requirements. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.

Operating Income and Margin-The increase in operating income of $68 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a change in mix and other performance of $88 million, principally driven by higher net sales on certain international
Patriot programs. Included in net EAC adjustments was approximately $42 million driven primarily by the reduction of expected costs to fulfill contractual commitments on nine contracts related to industrial cooperation agreements for an international customer driven by favorable experience in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in operating margin in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.
The increase in operating income of $49 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a change in mix and other performance of $60 million, principally driven by higher net sales on certain international Patriot programs. The increase in operating margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.
Backlog and Bookings-Backlog was $10,916 million, $11,656 million and $11,547 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $740 million or 6% at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings in 2013, principally across our Global Integrated Sensors product line. The increase in backlog of $109 million at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 was primarily due to bookings in excess of external sales, principally within our C4I product line, primarily on an international C4I program, partially offset by sales in excess of bookings across our Integrated Air & Missile Defense product line.
The bookings decrease of $764 million in 2013 compared to 2012 includes the $38 million increase in the specifically disclosed bookings below and a decrease from other IAMD programs primarily due to the timing of expected international awards and lower bookings on a close combat tactical radar program due to the completion of the program. In 2013, IDS booked $1,277 million on a ground based air defense system for Oman. IDS also booked $393 million for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase of the Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) for the U.S. Navy.

The decrease in total net sales of $135 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to lower net sales of $121 million on the NSF Polar program, which was completed in the first quarter of 2012. Included in total net sales in 2012 was $54 million of lower net sales on the UKBA program as a result of the program termination. Also included in total net sales in 2012 was $72 million of higher net sales on the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program primarily due to scheduled design and production efforts and $47 million of higher net sales of cybersecurity solutions driven by recent acquisitions and increased customer orders. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.
Total Operating Expenses-The decrease in total operating expenses of $264 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the decrease in materials and subcontractor costs of $148 million. The decrease in materials and subcontractors costs was driven principally by the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales. Included in the decrease in total operating expenses was a decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $44 million, primarily due to the timing of costs applied to contracts through rates, which had an impact of $41 million.
The decrease in total operating expenses of $191 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in materials and subcontractor costs of $138 million and the decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $70 million. The decrease in materials and subcontractor costs was driven primarily by the activity on the NSF Polar contract and UKBA program as described above. The decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was primarily due to the UKBA LOC Adjustment in the first quarter of 2011, as described in Commitments and Contingencies, which had an impact of $80 million.
Operating Income and Margin-The decrease in operating income of $26 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in volume of $24 million and a net change in EAC adjustments of $17 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $15 million. The decrease in volume was driven primarily by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change in EAC adjustments was driven principally by increased estimated costs to complete a ground control system program. The change in mix and other performance was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver. Mix and other performance in 2013 included $9 million of legal and other period expenses in connection with the UKBA program dispute and arbitration, compared to $31 million in 2012. Mix and other performance in 2013 also included an insurance recovery for legal expenses of $12 million, compared to $34 million in 2012. Operating income in 2013 and 2012 was reduced by approximately $21 million and $18 million, respectively, of certain cybersecurity-related acquisition costs and investments. Operating margin in 2013 was relatively consistent with 2012.
The increase in operating income of $56 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $42 million, driven principally by the UKBA LOC Adjustment in the first quarter of 2011, which had an impact of $80 million, partially offset by operational efficiencies in 2011 on various customized engineering and depot support programs. Mix and other performance in 2012 included $31 million of legal and other period expenses in connection with the UKBA program dispute and arbitration, compared to $21 million in 2011. Mix and other performance in 2012 also included an insurance recovery for legal expenses of $34 million, compared to $9 million in 2011. Operating income in 2012 and 2011 was reduced by approximately $18 million and $14 million, respectively, of certain cybersecurity-related acquisition costs and investments. The increase in operating margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments and mix and other performance.
Backlog and Bookings-Backlog was $5,856 million, $6,409 million and $7,027 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $553 million or 9% at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings in 2013, driven primarily by numerous classified contracts, the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) program, and the Global Positioning System Advanced Control Segment (GPS-OCX) program. The decrease in backlog of $618 million at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings in 2012, primarily for the GPS-OCX and JPSS programs.
The bookings decrease of $424 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven primarily by the $482 million decrease in the specifically disclosed bookings below.

Total Net Sales-Total net sales in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012. Included in total net sales was $247 million of lower net sales on U.S. Army sensor programs driven principally by planned declines in production due to the U.S. Army budget environment and higher net sales of $156 million on an international Paveway™ program due to planned production increases and development efforts and $114 million on an air warfare systems program due to higher volume driven by scheduled increases in production and development efforts. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.
The decrease in total net sales of $162 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to $188 million of lower net sales on U.S. Army sensor programs driven principally by planned declines in production and $141 million of lower net sales on an air warfare systems program due to lower volume driven by scheduled lower production rates. The lower net sales were partially offset by higher net sales of $170 million on the Standard Missile 3 (SM-3™) program due to higher volume driven by scheduled increases in production and development efforts.
Total Operating Expenses-Total operating expenses in 2013 were relatively consistent with 2012.
The decrease in total operating expenses of $84 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $103 million. The decrease in other cost of sales and other operating expenses was driven principally by the amount of previously deferred precontract costs based on contract awards or funding, which had an impact of $83 million, and lower refurbishment costs due to scheduled lower production rates on the Phalanx program.
Operating Income and Margin-The decrease in operating income of $31 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the $44 million change in mix and other performance principally driven by $34 million due to lower net sales on certain air warfare systems programs and $26 million due to the activity on the U.S. Army sensor programs described above in Total Net Sales, partially offset by $17 million of costs related to ending a supplier agreement and $14 million for inventory valuation allowances in 2012. The decrease in operating margin in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the change in mix and other performance.
The decrease in operating income of $78 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $42 million, which included a $21 million favorable contract resolution in 2011, and a change in mix and other performance of $26 million. The decrease in mix and other performance was primarily due to $17 million of costs related to ending a supplier agreement and $14 million for inventory valuation allowances, and reduced sales on U.S. Army and other production programs, partially offset by both a $15 million negative adjustment in 2011 related to a contract settlement and prior period EAC adjustments on certain classified and close-in weapons systems programs, which had an impact of $20 million. The decrease in operating margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments.
Backlog and Bookings-Backlog was $9,162 million, $10,676 million and $9,446 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The decrease in backlog of $1,514 million or 14% at December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012 was primarily due to sales in excess of bookings, principally within our Land Warfare Systems, Air and Missile Defense and Air Warfare Systems product lines. The increase in backlog of $1,230 million at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011 was primarily due to the higher 2012 bookings described below.

Total net sales in 2012 were relatively consistent with 2011. Included in total net sales was $100 million of higher net sales due to increased volume on an international tactical airborne radar program primarily due to program schedule requirements. Also included in total net sales was $107 million of lower net sales on certain radio and communications programs driven principally by reduced customer program requirements, $97 million of lower net sales due to lower volume on certain sensor systems programs due to program schedule requirements and $85 million of lower net sales of acoustic sensor systems due to higher 2011 deliveries based on customer demand. The remaining change in total net sales was spread across numerous programs with no individual or common significant driver.
Total Operating Expenses-The decrease in total operating expenses of $384 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in materials and subcontractors costs of $401 million, primarily due to the activity on the programs described above in Total Net Sales.
Total operating expenses in 2012 were relatively consistent with 2011. The increase in other cost of sales and other operating expenses of $53 million was primarily due to the timing and amount of adjustments for loss contracts.
Operating Income and Margin-The decrease in operating income of $68 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was due to a decrease in volume of $56 million and a net change in EAC adjustments of $46 million, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $34 million. The decrease in volume was driven principally by the programs described above in Total Net Sales. The net change in EAC adjustments was principally from higher EAC adjustments in 2012 on integrated communications systems programs as a result of material and labor efficiencies spread across various production programs. The increase in mix and other performance was primarily due to $34 million of income in 2013 from certain license royalties based on third-party usage compared with $4 million in 2012, partially offset by $45 million of acquisition-related costs in 2013 compared with $33 million in 2012. Operating margin in 2013 was relatively consistent with 2012.
The increase in operating income of $37 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to a net change in EAC adjustments of $79 million principally as a result of material and support efficiencies and contract modifications on international tactical airborne radar programs and certain classified programs, partially offset by a change in mix and other performance of $40 million driven primarily by reduced deliveries of acoustic sensor systems. Included in mix and other performance in 2012 and 2011 was $33 million and $53 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs. The increase in operating margin in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the net change in EAC adjustments and the change in mix and other performance.
Backlog and Bookings-Backlog was $7,751 million, $7,440 million and $7,292 million at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

FAS/CAS Adjustment
The FAS/CAS Adjustment represents the difference between our pension and other postretirement benefit (PRB) expense or income under Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS). The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense under CAS that we generally recover through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government.
The components of the FAS/CAS Adjustment were as follows:
The components of the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment were as follows:
As described above in Critical Accounting Estimates, a key driver of the difference between FAS and CAS expense (and consequently, the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment) is the pattern of earnings and expense recognition for gains and losses that arise when our asset and liability experience differ from our assumptions under each set of requirements. Generally, such gains or losses are amortized under FAS over the average future working lifetime of the eligible employee population of approximately 10 years at December 31, 2013, and are currently amortized under CAS over a 15-year period. However, the CAS Harmonization described above reduced this amortization period from 15 to 10 years beginning in 2013, as well as changed the liability measurement method. In accordance with both FAS and CAS, a “calculated market-related value” of our plan assets is used to calculate the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a certain prior period (three years for FAS and five years for CAS, subject to certain limitations under CAS on the difference between the market-related value and actual market value of assets). Because of this difference in the number of years over which actual asset gains or losses are recognized and subsequently amortized, FAS expense generally tends to reflect recent gains or losses faster than CAS. Another driver of CAS expense (but not FAS expense) is the funded status of our pension plans under CAS. As noted above, CAS expense is only recognized for plans that are not fully funded; consequently, if plans become or cease to be fully funded under CAS due to our asset or liability experience, our CAS expense will change accordingly.
The change in our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment of $2 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was driven by a $147 million increase in FAS and a $149 million increase in our CAS expense. The increase in our FAS expense in 2013 was primarily due to the increase in the amortization of deferred actuarial losses as a result of the decrease in the discount rate. The increase in the CAS expense in 2013 was primarily due to the continued recognition of the 2008 negative asset returns.
The change in the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment of $85 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily driven by a $105 million increase in our CAS expense, primarily due to the continued recognition of the 2008 negative asset returns.
For 2014 compared to 2013, we currently expect our FAS expense to decrease and our CAS expense to increase, which causes the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to increase income. We expect the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to be approximately $346 million of income driven by the higher discount rate environment, the differences in the recognition period for actual asset gains and losses under FAS and CAS and CAS harmonization, as described above. This expected decrease in FAS expense and increase in CAS expense is subject to our annual update, generally planned in the third
quarter, of our actuarial estimate of the unfunded benefit obligation for both FAS and CAS for final census data. After 2014, the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment is more difficult to predict because future FAS and CAS expense is based on a number of key assumptions for future periods. Differences between those assumptions and future actual results could significantly change both FAS and CAS expense in future periods. However, based solely on our current assumptions at December 31, 2013 and taking into account CAS Harmonization, which increases CAS expense in 2014 and beyond, we would expect our FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment to increase income in 2015.
The components of the FAS/CAS PRB Adjustment were as follows:
Corporate and Eliminations
Corporate and Eliminations includes corporate expenses and intersegment sales and profit eliminations. Corporate expenses represent unallocated costs and certain other corporate costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance.
During the first quarter of 2012, we completed the disposal or abandonment of the remaining individual assets of our former turbo-prop commuter aircraft portfolio, RAAS, and all operations have ceased. As a result, we have reported the results of RAAS, which were formerly included in Corporate and Eliminations, as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
The components of total net sales and operating income related to Corporate and Eliminations were as follows:
Total net sales and operating income related to Corporate in 2013 remained relatively consistent with 2012 and 2011.
Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategies we have divested certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. All residual activity relating to our previously disposed businesses appears in discontinued operations.
In the divestiture of Flight Options LLC (Flight Options), we agreed to indemnify Flight Options in the event Flight Options was assessed and paid excise taxes. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) appeals proceedings failed to resolve the federal excise tax dispute, and as a result, the IRS assessed Flight Options for excise taxes. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations. In the first quarter of 2011, Flight Options paid the assessment. We contested the matter through litigation, and in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement and recorded a $33 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.
Additionally in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement regarding certain tax audits associated with our divestiture of Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon Aircraft). As a result of this settlement, we recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.
We retained certain assets and liabilities of our previously-disposed businesses. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $56 million and $7 million, respectively, of assets primarily related to the receivable associated with the Flight Options excise tax settlement, and our retained interest in general aviation finance receivables previously sold by Raytheon Aircraft. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $16 million and $36 million, respectively, of liabilities primarily related to certain environmental and product liabilities, non-income tax obligations, various contract obligations and aircraft lease obligations. We also retained certain pension assets and obligations which we include in our pension disclosures.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Overview
We pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our business, including working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and research and development; prudently managing our balance sheet, including debt repayments and pension contributions; and returning cash to our stockholders, including dividend payments and share repurchases, as outlined below. Our need for, cost of and access to funds are dependent on future operating results, as well as other external conditions. We currently expect that cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities, cash flow from operations and other available financing resources will be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, investment, debt service and other financing requirements during the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future.
In addition, the following table highlights selected measures of our liquidity and capital resources at December 31, 2013 and 2012:
Operating Activities
The change of $421 million in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to lower net tax payments and lower pension contributions described below. Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities in 2012 remained relatively consistent with 2011.
Pension Plan Contributions-We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the PPA, which amended the ERISA rules and are affected by the actual return on plan assets and plan funded status. The funding requirements under the PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the PPA calculated funded status at the beginning of the year. The PPA funded status is based on actual asset performance, averaged over three years and PPA discount rates, which are based on a 24-month average of high quality corporate bond rates, as published by the IRS. In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension act, which is also referred to as the Moving ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. The STE Act includes a provision for temporary pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision adjusts the 24-month average high quality bond rates used to determine the PPA funded status so that they are within a floor and cap, or "corridor," based on the 25-year average of corporate bond rates. Beginning in 2012, interest rates must be between 90% and 110% of the 25-year rate, with a 5% increase in this corridor for each year from 2013-2016, resulting in a gradual phase-out of the provision. As a result of the STE Act, at January 1, 2012, the approximate PPA funding status for most of our plan increased from 80-90% funded to 90-100% funded and reduced our cash funding requirements primarily in 2012 and 2013. Funding requirements for future periods will be based on actual asset performance and future interest rates. Pension
assets and liabilities are valued annually at December 31 for purposes of determining funded status and future year FAS expense, CAS expense and cash funding requirements.
The STE Act does not change the calculation of our FAS expense. However, reductions in our required contributions could increase our FAS expense in future years by the amount of expected return that would have applied to the contributions. Our discretionary pension contributions in 2013 and 2012 generally offset the impact to our future year FAS expense that would have resulted from the reduced funding requirements under the STE Act. In addition, based upon current interest rate projections, the STE Act could have a modest impact on our CAS expense in 2014, when CAS Harmonization incorporates the PPA interest rate into CAS calculations.
We made the following required and discretionary contributions during the years ended December 31:
The increase in required contributions of $57 million in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the gradual phase out of the STE Act as discussed above. The decrease in required contributions of $357 million in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the passage of the STE Act as discussed above. We expect to make required contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans of approximately $900 million in 2014. We periodically evaluate whether to make discretionary contributions. Due to the differences in requirements and calculation methodologies, our FAS pension expense or income is not indicative of the funding requirement or amount of government recovery.
Other postretirement benefit payments were $22 million, $19 million and $18 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Tax Payments-We made the following net tax payments during the years ended December 31:
Federal and foreign net tax payments for 2014 are expected to approximate $700 million.
Interest Payments-We made interest payments on our outstanding debt of $210 million, $198 million and $167 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The increase in interest payments in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the issuance of $1.1 billion of fixed rate long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2012. The increase in interest payments in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the issuance of $1.0 billion of fixed rate long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2011.
Investing Activities
The change of $1,050 million in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the short-term investments activity described below and lower cash payments for acquisitions as described below. The change of $472 million in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to purchases of short-term investments, as described below, partially offset by lower cash payments for acquisitions as described below.
Additions to property plant and equipment and capitalized internal use software-Additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized internal use software were as follows:
We expect our property, plant and equipment and capitalized internal use software expenditures to be approximately $390 million and $60 million, respectively, in 2014, consistent with the anticipated needs of our business and for specific investments including capital assets and facility improvements.
Short-term investments activity-We invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash management strategy. These marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. Activity related to short-term investments was as follows:
As of December 31, 2013, our short-term investments had an average maturity of approximately three months.
Acquisitions and Divestitures-In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and invest in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial criteria, and divest of certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. Payments for purchases of acquired companies, net of cash acquired were as follows:
In June 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics, Incorporated, subsequently renamed Raytheon Visual Analytics Incorporated. RVAI further extends our capabilities to meet the data analytics, data visualization and information sharing needs of our customers, and this acquisition is part of our strategy to enhance our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. In connection with this acquisition, we have recorded $12 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $3 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology and customer relationships with a weighted-average life of seven years.
In December 2012, we acquired the Government Solutions business of SafeNet, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Secure Information Systems, LLC (RSIS) for approximately $280 million in cash, net of cash acquired and exclusive of retention payments. RSIS was integrated into our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business, within the Integrated Communications Systems product line as the Secure Information Systems product area. RSIS provides advanced encryption capabilities needed by government and industry customers to protect classified data. In connection with this transaction we have recorded $195 million of goodwill related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $75 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology with a weighted-average life of eight years.
Additionally, in 2012 we acquired Teligy, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Teligy, Inc., and an Australian company, Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd., for an aggregate of $22 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Raytheon Teligy, Inc. further extends our cybersecurity offerings in wireless communications at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd. acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions we recorded $15 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations, and $5 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and technology with a weighted-average life of six years.
In 2011, we acquired Applied Signal Technology, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (RAST) for $500 million in cash, net of $25 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired, and exclusive of retention and
management incentive payments. RAST provides advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) solutions to enhance global security. The acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) offerings related to certain classified and Department of Defense markets. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $387 million of goodwill, all of which was allocated to our SAS segment, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of RAST's assembled workforce, and $89 million in intangible assets, primarily related to contractual relationships, license agreements and trade names with a weighted-average life of seven years.
Additionally, in 2011 we acquired Henggeler Computer Consultants Inc., Pikewerks Corporation and substantially all of the assets of Ktech Corporation for an aggregate of $145 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The Henggeler Computer Consultants Inc. and Pikewerks Corporation acquisitions enhance our cybersecurity and information assurance capabilities at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The Ktech Corporation acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Missile Systems (MS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded $112 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $26 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships, trade names and technology with an initial estimated weighted-average life of seven years.
Financing Activities
We have used cash provided by operating activities, and proceeds from the issuance of new debt as our primary source for the repayment of debt, payment of dividends, pension contributions and the repurchase of our common stock. The change of $551 million in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2013 compared to 2012 was primarily due to the change in the amount of stock repurchased described below and the net impact of the issuance and repayment of long-term debt in 2012. The change of $552 million in net cash provided by (used in) financing activities in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to the repayments of long-term debt in 2012 offset by the change in the amount of stock repurchased described below.
Debt-In the fourth quarter of 2012, we received proceeds of $1,092 million for the issuance of $1.1 billion fixed rate long-term debt and exercised our call rights to repurchase, at prices based on fixed spreads to U.S. Treasuries, $970 million of our long-term debt due in 2014 and 2015 at a loss of $29 million pretax, $19 million after-tax, which is included in other expense (income), net.
In the fourth quarter of 2011, we received proceeds of $992 million for the issuance of $1.0 billion fixed rate long-term debt.
Stock Repurchases-In September 2011, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. Additionally, in November 2013, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of our outstanding common stock. At December 31, 2013, we had approximately $2.3 billion available under these repurchase programs. Stock repurchases will take place from time to time at management’s discretion depending on market conditions.
Stock repurchases also include shares surrendered by employees to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock options issued to employees.
Our stock repurchases were as follows:
In May 2010, our stockholders approved the Raytheon 2010 Stock Plan. Under the plan, we may grant restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, stock grants, stock options and stock appreciation rights.
Cash Dividends-Our Board of Directors authorized the following cash dividends:
In March 2013, our Board of Directors authorized a 10% increase to our annual dividend payout rate from $2.00 to $2.20 per share. In March 2012, our Board of Directors authorized a 16% increase in our annual dividend payout rate from $1.72 to $2.00 per share. Dividends are subject to quarterly approval by our Board of Directors.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Total debt was $4.7 billion at December 31, 2013, and December 31, 2012. Our outstanding debt bears contractual interest at fixed interest rates ranging from 2.5% to 7.2% and matures at various dates from 2018 through 2041.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments-Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments were $4.3 billion and $4.0 billion at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We may invest in U.S. Treasuries; AAA/Aaa rated money market funds; certificates of deposit, time deposits and commercial paper of banks with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1, and commercial paper of corporations with a minimum long-term debt rating of A+ or A1 and minimum short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $810 million and $725 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately $115 million. The transaction does not affect our indefinite reinvestment assertion because it generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continuously evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures, and capital market conditions.
Credit Facilities-In December 2011, we entered into a $1.4 billion revolving credit facility maturing in 2016, replacing the previous $500 million and $1.0 billion credit facilities, which were both scheduled to mature in November 2012.
Under the $1.4 billion credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2013, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points. The credit facility is comprised of commitments from approximately 25 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. However, we had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which effectively reduced our borrowing capacity under this credit facility by those same amounts.
Under the $1.4 billion credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. We were in compliance with the credit facility covenants during 2013 and 2012. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 30.0% at December 31, 2013. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that limits our ability to utilize this facility.
Credit Ratings-Three major corporate debt rating organizations, Fitch Ratings (Fitch), Moody’s Investors Service (Moody’s) and Standard & Poor’s (S&P), assign ratings to our short-term and long-term debt. The following chart reflects the current ratings assigned by each of these agencies as of December 31, 2013 to our short and long-term senior unsecured debt:
Shelf Registrations-We have an effective shelf registration with the SEC, filed in January 2013, which covers the registration of debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
The following is a schedule of our contractual obligations outstanding at December 31, 2013:
(1)
Debt includes scheduled principal payments only.
Purchase obligations in the table above represent enforceable and legally binding agreements with suppliers to purchase goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers, primarily the U.S. Government, which entitle us to full recourse for costs incurred, including purchase obligations, in the event the contract is terminated by the customer for convenience. These purchase obligations are included above notwithstanding the amount for which we are entitled to full recourse from our customers. The table above does not include required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions. We expect to make required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions of approximately $900 million in 2014, exclusive of any U.S. Government recovery. Amounts beyond 2014 for required pension and other postretirement benefit contributions depend upon actuarial assumptions, actual plan asset performance and other factors described under pension costs in Critical Accounting Estimates beginning on page 34. However, based solely on our current assumptions, we expect our funding requirements to be approximately $1 billion in 2015, exclusive of any U.S. Government recovery, and decreasing thereafter.
Interest payments include interest on debt that is redeemable at our option.
As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and the accrual for the related interest, net of the federal benefit, was $121 million and $141 million, respectively, and was included in accrued retiree benefits and other long-term liabilities. These amounts were not included in the table above because we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of when a cash settlement, if any, will occur with a tax authority as the timing of examinations and ultimate resolutions of those examinations is uncertain.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
At December 31, 2013, we had no significant off-balance sheet arrangements other than operating leases and guarantees to third parties on behalf of our affiliates as described below in Commitments and Contingencies. Such arrangements are not material to our overall liquidity or capital resources, market risk support or credit risk support as described below.
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Environmental Matters-We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. Government within contracts in process, net. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred were as follows at December 31:
We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.
Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters; however, we do not expect any additional liability to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred are:
Financing Arrangements and Other-We issue guarantees, and banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2023. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:
Included in guarantees and letters of credit described above were $233 million and $268 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013, and $108 million and $225 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012, related to our Thales-Raytheon Systems Co. Ltd. (TRS) joint venture. We provide these guarantees and letters of credit to TRS and other affiliates to assist these entities in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect these entities to satisfy their loans, and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of TRS and other affiliates failing to satisfy their loans, project performance and meet other contractual obligations described above. At December 31, 2013, we believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates will not be able to perform or meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were
current at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had an estimated liability of $8 million and $4 million, respectively, related to these guarantees and letters of credit.
In 1997, we provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank loans (maturing in 2015) to the Brazilian Government related to IDS' System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program. Loan repayments by the Brazilian Government were current at December 31, 2013.
We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate amount of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5 billion. To the extent we have entered into purchase obligations that satisfy our offset agreements, those amounts are included in the Contractual Obligations table on page 68. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities, or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects, and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. We have historically not been required to pay any such penalties.
As a government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the Department of Justice has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. Government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
On July 22, 2010, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) was notified by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) that it had been terminated for cause on a program. The termination notice included allegations that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones and other matters in addition to claiming entitlement to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to RSL. We believe that RSL performed well and delivered substantial capabilities to the UKBA under the program, which has been operating successfully and providing actionable information since live operations began in May 2009. As a result of the termination notice, we adjusted our estimated amounts of revenue and cost under the program in the second quarter of 2010. On July 29, 2010, RSL filed a dispute notice on the grounds that the termination by the UKBA was not valid. On August 18, 2010, the UKBA initiated arbitration proceedings on this issue. On March 22, 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with the UKBA in 2007. On March 23, 2011, the UKBA submitted a detailed claim in
the arbitration of approximately £350 million (approximately $579 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) for damages and clawback of previous payments, plus interest and arbitration costs, excluding any credit for capability delivered or draw on the letters of credit. The UKBA also asserted that additional amounts may be detailed in the claim in the future if estimates of its damages change, and for continuing post-termination losses and any re-procurement costs, which have not been quantified. At RSL's request, on March 29, 2011, the Arbitration Tribunal issued an interim order restraining the UKBA from drawing down on the letters of credit pending a hearing on the issue. Following the hearing, the Tribunal lifted the restraint on the basis that, at this early stage of the proceedings, the Tribunal had not heard the evidence needed to decide the merits of whether the contractual conditions for a drawdown had been established. The Tribunal also concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call on the letters of credit is inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish that the drawdown was not valid. As a result, on April 6, 2011, the UKBA drew the $80 million on the letters of credit.
As a result of the Tribunal's decision that the letters of credit are inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration, we were no longer able to evaluate, independently from the overall claim, the probability of recovery of any amounts drawn on the letters of credit. We therefore recorded $80 million of costs related to the UKBA drawdown (UKBA LOC Adjustment), which was included in the operating expenses of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment in the first quarter of 2011.
In June 2011, RSL submitted in the arbitration its defenses to the UKBA claim as well as substantial counterclaims in the amount of approximately £500 million (approximately $827 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) against the UKBA for the collection of receivables, damages and interest. On October 3, 2011, the UKBA filed its reply to RSL's counterclaims, and increased its claim amount by approximately £32 million, to include additional civil service and post termination costs, and approximately £33 million for interest, raising the gross amount of the UKBA claim for damages and clawback of previous payments to approximately £415 million (approximately $687 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013). On January 6, 2012, RSL filed its response to the UKBA's reply. RSL is pursuing vigorously the collection of all receivables for the program and damages in connection with the wrongful termination and is mounting a strong defense to the UKBA's alleged claims for losses and previous payments. RSL has also settled substantially all subcontractor claims, novated all key subcontracts to the UKBA and agreed with the UKBA that RSL's exit obligations to operate the previously delivered capability ended in April 2011. Effective April 15, 2011, the UKBA took over responsibility for operating the previously delivered capability. In March 2013, the UKBA updated the total net amount of its claims to approximately £302 million (approximately $500 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) for damages, clawback of previous payments and interest, and inclusive of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. Arbitration hearings commenced in late 2012 and were completed in 2013. We expect a decision in the first half of 2014.
The receivables and other assets remaining under the program for technology and services delivered were approximately $40 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. We believe the remaining receivables and other assets are probable of recovery in litigation or arbitration. We currently do not believe it is probable that RSL is liable for losses, previous payments (which includes the $80 million related to the drawdown on the letters of credit), clawback or other claims asserted by the UKBA either in its March 2011 arbitration filing or its October 2011 reply. Due to the inherent uncertainties in litigation and arbitration, and the complexity and technical nature of actual and potential claims and counterclaims, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate amount of any resolution of the termination could be less or greater than the amounts we have recorded. For the same reasons, at this time, we are unable to estimate a range of the possible loss or recovery, if any, beyond the claim and counterclaim amounts. If we fail to collect the receivable balances or are required to make payments against claims or other losses asserted by the UKBA in excess of the amounts we have recorded, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On June 29, 2012 and July 13, 2012, we received a contracting officer’s final decision (COFD) for 2004 and 2005 incurred costs at SAS. The COFDs demand a total payment of $241 million for costs, interest and penalties associated with several issues, the largest of which relates to specific research and development and capital projects undertaken by SAS between 2000 and 2005. To date, no COFDs have been provided for 2000 to 2003 periods at SAS on these issues. The Government alleges that the costs incurred on the projects should have been charged directly to U.S. Government contracts rather than through indirect rates and that these costs should not be recoverable. We strongly disagree with the Government's position. We have requested a deferment of the payment and in February and May 2013, we filed complaints in the U.S. COFC challenging the 2004 and 2005 COFDs, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot estimate a
range of potential loss. We believe that we appropriately charged the disputed costs based on government accounting standards and applicable precedent and properly disclosed our approach to the Government. We also believe that in many cases, the statute of limitations has run on the issues. Based upon the foregoing, we do not expect the results of the COFDs to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.
As part of the 2013 business consolidation, the total costs of the severance benefits to terminated employees were not material, and almost all of the costs were incurred in accordance with existing termination benefit plans and not as one-time termination benefits. Additionally, relocation and other costs associated with the business consolidation were not material. Although not material, the majority of these costs will be recovered in our overhead rates.
ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
New pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2013, are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.
We generally supplement our working capital requirements with a combination of variable-rate short-term and fixed-rate long-term financing. We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments and payments to vendors and customer receipts. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements with commercial and investment banks to manage interest rates associated with our financing arrangements. The market-risk sensitive instruments we use for hedging are entered into with commercial and investment banks and are directly related to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which a firm commitment is in place.
The following tables provide information as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 about our market risk exposure associated with changing interest rates. For long-term debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows by maturity date and average interest rates related to outstanding obligations. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
As of December 31, 2013
Principal Payments and Interest Rate Detail by Contractual Maturity Dates
(In millions, except percentages)
As of December 31, 2012
Principal Payments and Interest Rate Detail by Contractual Maturity Dates
(In millions, except percentages)
In addition, the aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,396 million and $1,305 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualifying for hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings. Unrealized gains of $23 million and $17 million were included in non-current assets and unrealized losses of $26 million and $14 million were included in current liabilities at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on the underlying assets or liabilities being hedged. We believe our exposure due to changes in foreign currency rates is not material due to our hedging policy.
At December 31, 2013, we had short-term investments with a fair value of $1,001 million, which are classified as available-for-sale and consist of highly rated bank certificates of deposit with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and a minimum short-term debt rating of A-1 and P-1. Our exposure due to changes in interest rates is not material due to the nature and amount of our short-term investments (i.e., high-quality certificates of deposit).
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA
COMPANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The financial statements and related information contained in this Annual Report have been prepared by and are the responsibility of our management. Our financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and reflect judgments and estimates as to the expected effects of transactions and events currently being reported. Our management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements and other financial information included in this Annual Report. To meet this responsibility, we maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are properly executed and recorded. The system includes policies and procedures, internal audits and our officers’ reviews.
Our Audit Committee of our Board of Directors is composed solely of directors who are independent under applicable SEC and New York Stock Exchange rules. Our Audit Committee meets periodically and, when appropriate, separately with representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm, our officers and the internal auditors to monitor the activities of each.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, was appointed by our Audit Committee to audit our financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting and their report follows. Our stockholders ratified the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. The Company’s system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based on its assessment, management has concluded that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the COSO in 1992. The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included below.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Raytheon Company:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of equity, and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Consolidation and Classification-The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Raytheon Company, and all wholly-owned, majority-owned and otherwise controlled domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. For classification of certain current assets and liabilities, we use the duration of the related contract or program as our operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. Effective April 1, 2013, we consolidated our structure into the following four businesses: Integrated Defense Systems (IDS); Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS); Missile Systems (MS); and Space and Airborne Systems (SAS). As used in these notes, the terms “we”, “us”, “our”, “Raytheon” and the “Company” mean Raytheon Company and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates another meaning.
Use of Estimates-Our consolidated financial statements are based on the application of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which require us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and any such differences may be material to our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition-We use the percentage-of-completion accounting method to account for our long-term contracts associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment and related services, such as certain cost-plus service contracts. Under this method, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the long-term contract. Our analysis of these contracts also contemplates whether contracts should be combined or segmented in accordance with the applicable criteria under GAAP. We combine closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single project, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, we may segment a project, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. Judgment also is involved in determining whether a single contract or group of contracts may be segmented based on how the arrangement was negotiated and the performance criteria. The decision to combine a group of contracts or segment a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.
The selection of the method by which to measure progress towards completion of a contract also requires judgment and is based on the nature of the products or services to be provided. We generally use the cost-to-cost measure of progress for our long-term contracts unless we believe another method more clearly measures progress towards completion of the contract. Under the cost-to-cost measure of progress, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract. Contract costs include labor, materials and subcontractors costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs. Revenues, including estimated fees or profits, are recorded as costs are incurred. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our contracts, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion (the process for which we describe below in more detail) is complex and subject to many variables. Incentive and award fees generally are awarded at the discretion of the customer or upon achievement of certain program milestones or cost targets. Incentive and award fees, as well as penalties related to contract performance, are considered in estimating profit rates. Estimates of award fees are based on actual awards and anticipated performance, which may include the performance of subcontractors or partners depending on the individual contract requirements. Incentive provisions that increase or decrease earnings based solely on a single significant event generally are not recognized until the event occurs. Such incentives and penalties are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Our claims on contracts are recorded only if it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and the amounts can be reliably estimated.
We have a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and performance of our contracts. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities, and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product), and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the contract (e.g. to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), performance by our subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from our customer, and overhead cost rates, among other variables. These estimates also include the estimated cost of satisfying our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset obligations, required under certain contracts. Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual contracts, if we determine we will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and cost aspects of those contracts or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if we determine we will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a contract's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the contract is recognized in the period the loss is determined.
Net EAC adjustments had the following impact on our operating results:
To a much lesser extent, we enter into other types of contracts such as service, commercial, or software and licensing arrangements. Revenue under fixed-price service contracts not associated with the design, development, manufacture, or modification of complex aerospace or electronic equipment, and under commercial contracts, generally is recognized upon delivery or as services are rendered once persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, our price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Costs on fixed-price service contracts are expensed as incurred, unless they otherwise qualify for deferral. We recognize revenue on contracts to sell software when evidence of an arrangement exists, the software has been delivered and accepted by the customer, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is probable. For software arrangements that include multiple elements, including perpetual software licenses and undelivered items (e.g., maintenance and/or services; subscriptions/term licenses), we allocate and defer revenue for the undelivered items based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of the fair value of the undelivered elements, and recognize revenue on the perpetual license using the residual method. We base VSOE of each element on the price for which the undelivered element is sold separately. We determine fair value of the undelivered elements based on historical evidence of our stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties or from the stated renewal rate for the undelivered elements. When VSOE does not exist for undelivered items, we recognize the entire arrangement fee ratably over the applicable performance period. Revenue from non-software license fees is recognized over the expected life of the continued involvement with the customer. Additionally, royalty revenue is recognized when earned.
We apply the separation guidance under GAAP for contracts with multiple deliverables. We analyze revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables to determine if the deliverables should be divided into more than one unit of accounting. For contracts with more than one unit of accounting, we allocate the consideration we receive among the separate units of accounting based on their relative selling prices, which we determine based on prices of the deliverables as sold on a stand-alone basis, or if not sold on a stand-alone basis, the prices we would charge if sold on a stand-alone basis, and we recognize revenue for each deliverable based on the revenue recognition policies described above.
Research and Development Expenses-Research and development expenses are included in general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Expenditures for Company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred, and were $465 million, $451 million and $450 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011,
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
respectively. Customer-sponsored research and development projects performed under contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the work is performed and included in contracts in process, net in our consolidated balance sheets.
Federal, Foreign and State Income Taxes-The Company and its domestic subsidiaries provide for federal income taxes on pretax accounting income at rates in effect under existing tax law. Foreign subsidiaries record provisions for income taxes at applicable foreign tax rates in a similar manner. Such provisions differ from the amounts currently payable because certain items of income and expense are recognized in different time periods for financial reporting purposes than for income tax purposes. The Company does not provide for a U.S. income tax liability on undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries. Such earnings are indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations or expected to be remitted substantially free of additional tax. Payments made for state income taxes are included in administrative and selling expenses as these costs can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government in the period in which the tax is payable. Accordingly, the state income tax provision (benefit) is allocated to contracts in future periods as described below in Deferred Contract Costs.
Other Expense (Income), Net-Other expense (income), net consists primarily of gains and losses from our investments held in rabbi trusts used to fund certain of our non-qualified deferred compensation plans, gains and losses on the early repurchase of long-term debt and certain financing fees.
Cash and Cash Equivalents-Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less at the date of purchase. The estimated fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value due to their short maturities.
Short-term Investments-We invest in marketable securities in accordance with our short-term investment policy and cash management strategy. At December 31, 2013, we had short-term investments consisting of highly rated bank certificates of deposit with a minimum long-term debt rating of A or A2 and a minimum short term debt rating of A-1 or P-1.
The fair value of our short term investments consisted of the following at December 31:
The estimated fair value of our short-term investments approximates the carrying value due to their short maturities. These investments are deemed Level 2 assets under the fair value hierarchy for both 2013 and 2012, as their fair value is determined under a market approach using valuation models that utilize observable inputs, including maturity date, issue date, settlements date, and current rates. These marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value as short-term investments in our consolidated balance sheets. The amortized cost of these securities closely approximated their fair value as of December 31, 2013. Unrealized gains and losses on our available-for-sale securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL), net of tax. Realized gains and losses on sales of our available-for-sale securities are recorded in other (income) expense, net on our consolidated statement of operations. When determined, other than temporary declines in the value of available-for-sale securities are recorded as a loss in earnings. We make such determinations by considering, among other factors, the length of time the fair value of the investment has been less than the carrying value, future business prospects for the investee, and information regarding market and industry trends for the investee's business, if available. For purposes of computing realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, we determine cost on a specific identification basis. There were no securities deemed to have other than temporary declines in value for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we recorded an unrealized gain on short-term investments of less than $1 million, net of tax, in AOCL. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, we had sales of short-term investments of $325 million, which resulted in gains of approximately $1 million recorded in other (income) expense, net.
Contracts in Process, Net-Contracts in process, net are stated at cost plus estimated profit, but not in excess of estimated realizable value. Included in contracts in process are accounts receivable, which include amounts billed and due from customers. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts to provide for the estimated amount of accounts receivable that
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
will not be collected. The allowance is based upon an assessment of customer creditworthiness, historical payment experience, the age of outstanding receivables and collateral to the extent applicable.
Deferred Contract Costs-Included in contracts in process, net are certain costs related to the performance of our U.S. Government contracts which are required to be recorded under GAAP but are not currently allocable to contracts. Such costs are deferred and primarily include a portion of our environmental expenses, asset retirement obligations, certain restructuring costs, deferred state income taxes, workers’ compensation and certain other accruals. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, net deferred contract costs were approximately $279 million and $65 million, respectively. These costs are allocated to contracts when they are paid or otherwise agreed. We regularly assess the probability of recovery of these costs. This assessment requires us to make assumptions about the extent of cost recovery under our contracts and the amount of future contract activity. If the level of backlog in the future does not support the continued deferral of these costs, the profitability of our remaining contracts could be adversely affected.
Pension and other postretirement benefits costs are allocated to our contracts as allowed costs based on the U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS). The CAS requirements for pension and other postretirement benefits costs differ from the financial accounting standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP. Given the inability to match with reasonable certainty individual expense and income items between the CAS and FAS requirements to determine specific recoverability, we have not estimated the incremental FAS income or expense to be recoverable under our expected future contract activity, and therefore did not defer any FAS expense for pension and other postretirement benefits plans in 2011-2013. This resulted in $249 million of expense, $255 million of expense, and $337 million of expense in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, reflected in our consolidated results of operations for the difference between CAS and FAS requirements for our pension and other postretirement benefits plans in those years.
Inventories-Inventories are stated at cost (first-in, first-out or average cost), but not in excess of net realizable value. An impairment for excess or inactive inventory is recorded based upon an analysis that considers current inventory levels, historical usage patterns, future sales expectations and salvage value.
Inventories consisted of the following at December 31:
We capitalize costs incurred in advance of contract award or funding in inventories if we determine that contract award or funding is probable. To the extent these are precontract costs, start-up costs have been excluded. We included capitalized precontract costs and other deferred costs of approximately $100 million in inventories as work in process at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net-Property, plant and equipment, net are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Major improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance, repairs and minor improvements are expensed. We include gains and losses on the sales of plant and equipment that are allocable to our contracts in overhead as we generally can recover these costs through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. Government. For all other sales or asset retirements, the assets and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income.
Provisions for depreciation generally are computed using a combination of accelerated and straight-line methods and are based on estimated useful lives as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the remaining life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the improvement.
Impairment of Goodwill and Long-lived Assets-We evaluate our goodwill for impairment annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable. We perform our annual impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter utilizing a two-step methodology that requires us to first identify potential goodwill impairment and then measure the amount of the related goodwill impairment loss, if any. We have identified our operating segments as reporting units under the impairment test assessment criteria outlined in GAAP. In performing our annual impairment test in the fourth quarters of 2013 and 2012, we did not identify any goodwill impairment. As part of our business consolidation in 2013, we reallocated goodwill to our reporting units on a relative fair value basis and performed an interim impairment test. There was no indication of impairment.
We determine whether long-lived assets are to be held for use or disposal. Upon indication of possible impairment of long-lived assets held for use, we evaluate the recoverability of such assets by measuring the carrying amount of the assets against the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows. When an evaluation indicates that the future undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the asset, the asset is adjusted to its estimated fair value. In order for long-lived assets to be considered held for disposal, we must have committed to a plan to dispose of the assets. Once deemed held for disposal, the assets are stated at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value.
Computer Software, Net-Internal use computer software, net, included in other assets, net, which consists primarily of our enterprise-wide software solutions, is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and is amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, generally 10 years.
Advance Payments and Billings in Excess of Costs Incurred-We receive advances, performance-based payments and progress payments from customers that may exceed costs incurred on certain contracts. We classify advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred as current liabilities. Costs incurred in excess of billings are classified as contracts in process, net.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)-Other comprehensive income (loss) includes foreign exchange translation adjustments, gains and losses on derivative instruments qualified as cash flow hedges, unrealized gains (losses) on investments, and gains and losses associated with pension and other postretirement benefits. The computation of other comprehensive income (loss) and its components are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of the following activity during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011:
Material amounts reclassified out of AOCL were related to amortization of net actuarial loss associated with our pension and other employee benefit plans and were $1,154 million, $942 million and $795 million before tax in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This component of AOCL is included in the calculation of net periodic pension expense (income) (see "Note 13: Pension and Other Employee Benefits" for additional details).
The defined benefit pension and other employee benefit plans are shown net of tax benefits of $2,780 million and $4,218 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The cash flow hedges and interest rate locks are shown net of tax benefits of $4 million and $2 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The unrealized gains on investments and other are shown net of tax benefits of $4 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012. We expect approximately $2 million of after-tax net unrealized losses on our cash flow hedges at December 31, 2013, to be reclassified into earnings at then-current values over the next twelve months as the underlying hedged transactions occur.
Translation of Foreign Currencies-Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at current exchange rates and the effects of these translation adjustments are reported as a component of AOCL in equity. Deferred taxes are not recognized for translation-related temporary differences of foreign subsidiaries as their undistributed earnings are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Income and expenses in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2013, 2012 and 2011 were not material.
Treasury Stock-During 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the retirement of all outstanding treasury shares directly held by the Company. As a result, all outstanding treasury shares directly held by the Company were retired in the fourth quarter of 2012, with an offsetting reduction in common stock for the par value and the remaining amount offset in additional paid-in-capital. In addition, our Board of Directors authorized all future share repurchases to be retired immediately upon repurchase. We account for treasury stock under the cost method. Upon retirement the excess over par value is charged against additional paid-in capital. The remaining treasury stock activity relates primarily to stock-based compensation awards and the related shares withheld to settle employee tax obligations.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Costs-We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries. We calculate our pension costs as required under GAAP, and the calculations and assumptions utilized require judgment. GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes. For purposes of determining pension expense under GAAP, a
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a three year period. Under GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated "market-related value" of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS expense.
We recognize the funded status of a postretirement benefit plan (defined benefit pension and other benefits) as an asset or liability in our consolidated balance sheets. Funded status represents the difference between the projected benefit obligation of the plan and the market value of the plan’s assets. Previously unrecognized deferred amounts such as demographic or asset gains or losses and the impact of historical plan changes are included in AOCL. Changes in these amounts in future years will be reflected through AOCL and amortized in future pension expense over the estimated average remaining employee service period.
Derivative Financial Instruments-We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the foreign currency exchange rates on specific commitments, payments, and receipts. Our foreign currency forward contracts are transaction driven and relate directly to a particular asset, liability or transaction for which commitments are in place. For foreign currency forward contracts designated and qualified for cash flow hedge accounting, we record the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative in AOCL, net of tax, and reclassify it into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged revenue or cost of sales transaction affects earnings.
We recognize all derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets. We measure and record the impact of counterparty credit risk into our valuation and the impact was not material for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We designate most foreign currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases and sales denominated in foreign currencies, and interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of our fixed-rate financing obligations. We classify the cash flows from these instruments in the same category as the cash flows from the hedged items. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Realized gains and losses resulting from these cash flow hedges offset the foreign exchange gains and losses on the underlying transactions being hedged. Gains and losses on derivatives not designated for hedge accounting or representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized currently in net sales or cost of sales.
We also periodically enter into pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with our fixed-rate financing obligations. We account for our interest rate swaps as fair value hedges of a portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations, and accordingly record gains and losses from changes in the fair value of these swaps in interest expense, along with the offsetting gains and losses on the fair value adjustment of the hedged portion of our fixed-rate financing obligations. We also record in interest expense the net amount paid or received under the swap for the period and the amortization of gain or loss from the early termination of interest rate swaps. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. For a discussion of the impacts of our hedging activities on our results, see "Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments".
Fair Values-The accounting standard for fair value measurements provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. This accounting standard established a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:
Level 1:
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2:
Observable inputs, other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or that we corroborate with observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Level 3:
Unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of marketable securities held in trust, short-term investments and foreign currency forward contracts as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. Fair value information for those assets and liabilities, including their classification in the fair value hierarchy, is included in "Note 13: Pension and Other Employee Benefits" (for marketable securities held in trust), "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" (for short-term investments), and "Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments" (for foreign currency forward contracts). We did not have any significant nonfinancial assets or nonfinancial liabilities that would be recognized or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013 and 2012. We did not have any material amounts of Level 3 assets or liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Earnings per Share (EPS)-We compute basic EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by dividing income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, and net income attributable to Raytheon Company, by our weighted-average common shares outstanding, including participating securities outstanding, as described below, during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution beyond shares for basic EPS that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised, converted into common stock, or resulted in the issuance of common stock that would have shared in our earnings. We compute basic and diluted EPS using actual income from continuing operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, income (loss) from discontinued operations attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders, net income attributable to Raytheon Company, and our actual weighted-average shares and participating securities outstanding rather than the numbers presented within our consolidated financial statements, which are rounded to the nearest million. As a result, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS as presented in our consolidated financial statements. Furthermore, it may not be possible to recalculate EPS attributable to Raytheon Company common stockholders by adjusting EPS from continuing operations by EPS from discontinued operations.
We include all unvested stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, whether paid or unpaid, in the number of shares outstanding in our basic and diluted EPS calculations. As a result, we have included all of our outstanding unvested restricted stock and Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP) awards that meet the retirement eligible criteria in our calculation of basic and diluted EPS. We disclose EPS for common stock and unvested share-based payment awards, and separately disclose distributed and undistributed earnings. Distributed earnings represent common stock dividends and dividends earned on unvested share-based payment awards of retirement eligible employees. Undistributed earnings represent earnings that were available for distribution but were not distributed. Common stock and unvested share-based payment awards earn dividends equally.
Employee Stock Plans-Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the calculated fair value of the award. The expense is recognized over the employees’ requisite service period, generally the vesting period of the award. The expense is amortized over the service period using the graded vesting method for our restricted stock and restricted stock units and the straight-line amortization method for our LTPP. The related gross excess tax benefit received upon exercise of stock options or vesting of a stock-based award, if any, is reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows as a financing activity rather than an operating activity.
Risks and Uncertainties-We provide a wide range of technologically advanced products, services and solutions for principally governmental customers in the U.S. and abroad, and are subject to certain business risks specific to that industry. Total sales to the U.S. Government, excluding foreign military sales, were 72%, 73%, and 74% of total net sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total sales to customers outside the U.S., including foreign military sales through the U.S. Government, were 27%, 26% and 25% of total net sales in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Sales to the U.S. Government may be affected by changes in procurement policies, budget considerations, changing concepts of national defense, political developments abroad and other factors. Sales to international customers may be affected by changes in the priorities and budgets of international customers, which may be driven by changes in threat environments, geo-political uncertainties, potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions, various regional and local economic and political factors, risks and uncertainties and U.S. foreign policy.

Note 2: Accounting Standards
New pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2013, are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Note 3: Acquisitions
In pursuing our business strategies, we acquire and make investments in certain businesses that meet strategic and financial criteria.
In June 2013, we acquired Visual Analytics, Incorporated, subsequently renamed Raytheon Visual Analytics Incorporated. RVAI further extends our capabilities to meet the data analytics, data visualization and information sharing needs of our customers, and this acquisition is part of our strategy to enhance our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) offerings. In connection with this acquisition, we have recorded $12 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $3 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology and customer relationships with a weighted-average life of seven years.
In December 2012, we acquired the Government Solutions business of SafeNet, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Secure Information Systems, LLC (RSIS) for approximately $280 million in cash, net of cash acquired and exclusive of retention payments. RSIS was integrated into our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) business, within the Integrated Communications Systems product line as the Secure Information Systems product area. RSIS provides advanced encryption capabilities needed by government and industry customers to protect classified data. In connection with this transaction we have recorded $195 million of goodwill related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $75 million of intangible assets, primarily related to technology with a weighted-average life of eight years.
Additionally, in 2012 we acquired Teligy, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Teligy, Inc., and an Australian company, Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd., for an aggregate of $22 million in cash, net of cash acquired. Raytheon Teligy, Inc. further extends our cybersecurity offerings in wireless communications at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The Poseidon Scientific Instruments Pty Ltd. acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions we recorded $15 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations, and $5 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships and technology with a weighted-average life of six years.
In 2011, we acquired Applied Signal Technology, Inc., subsequently renamed Raytheon Applied Signal Technology, Inc. (RAST) for $500 million in cash, net of $25 million of cash and cash equivalents acquired, and exclusive of retention and management incentive payments. RAST provides advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) solutions to enhance global security. The acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Space and Airborne Systems (SAS) offerings related to certain classified and Department of Defense markets. In connection with this acquisition, we recorded $387 million of goodwill, all of which was allocated to our SAS segment, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of RAST's assembled workforce, and $89 million in intangible assets, primarily related to contractual relationships, license agreements and trade names with a weighted-average life of seven years.
Additionally, in 2011 we acquired Henggeler Computer Consultants Inc., Pikewerks Corporation and substantially all of the assets of Ktech Corporation for an aggregate of $145 million in cash, net of cash acquired. The Henggeler Computer Consultants Inc. and Pikewerks Corporation acquisitions enhance our cybersecurity and information assurance capabilities at Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS). The Ktech Corporation acquisition is part of our strategy to extend and enhance our Missile Systems (MS) offerings. In connection with these acquisitions, we recorded $112 million of goodwill, primarily related to expected synergies from combining operations and the value of the existing workforce, and $26 million of intangible assets, primarily related to customer relationships, trade names and technology with an initial estimated weighted-average life of seven years.
Pro forma financial information and revenue from the date of acquisition has not been provided for these acquisitions as they are not material either individually or in the aggregate.
We funded each of the above acquisitions using cash on hand. The operating results of these businesses have been included in our consolidated results as of the respective closing dates of the acquisitions. The purchase price of these businesses has
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
been allocated to the estimated fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired, with any excess purchase price recorded as goodwill.
The total amount of goodwill that is expected to be deductible for tax purposes related to these acquisitions was $273 million at December 31, 2013.
A rollforward of goodwill by segment is as follows:
(1)
As part of our business consolidation in 2013, we reallocated goodwill to our reporting units on a relative fair value basis.
Note 4: Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategies we have divested certain non-core businesses, investments and assets when appropriate. All residual activity relating to our previously disposed businesses appears in discontinued operations.
In the divestiture of Flight Options LLC (Flight Options), we agreed to indemnify Flight Options in the event Flight Options was assessed and paid excise taxes. In the fourth quarter of 2010, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) appeals proceedings failed to resolve the federal excise tax dispute, and as a result, the IRS assessed Flight Options for excise taxes. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2010, we recorded a $39 million charge, net of federal tax benefit, in discontinued operations. In the first quarter of 2011, Flight Options paid the assessment. We contested the matter through litigation, and in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement and recorded a $33 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.
Additionally in the fourth quarter of 2013, we reached a settlement regarding certain tax audits associated with our divestiture of Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon Aircraft). As a result of this settlement, we recorded a $25 million gain, net of federal tax expense, in discontinued operations.
We retained certain assets and liabilities of our previously-disposed businesses. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $56 million and $7 million, respectively, of assets primarily related to the receivable associated with the Flight Options excise tax settlement, and our retained interest in general aviation finance receivables previously sold by Raytheon Aircraft. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $16 million and $36 million, respectively, of liabilities primarily related to certain environmental and product liabilities, non-income tax obligations, various contract obligations and aircraft lease obligations. We also retained certain pension assets and obligations which we include in our pension disclosures.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 5: Contracts in Process, Net
Contracts in process, net consisted of the following at December 31:
The U.S. Government has title to the assets related to unbilled amounts on contracts that provide progress payments. Unbilled amounts are recorded under the percentage-of-completion method and are recoverable from the customer upon shipment of the product, presentation of billings or completion of the contract. Included in unbilled at December 31, 2013 was $114 million which is expected to be collected outside of one year.
Billed and unbilled contracts in process include retentions arising from contractual provisions. At December 31, 2013, retentions were $54 million. We anticipate collecting $13 million of these retentions in 2014 and the balance thereafter.
Note 6: Property, Plant and Equipment, Net
Property, plant and equipment, net consisted of the following at December 31:
Depreciation and amortization expense of property, plant and equipment, net was $303 million, $318 million and $314 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 7: Other Assets, Net
Other assets, net consisted of the following at December 31:
Computer software amortization expense was $82 million in 2013, $88 million in 2012 and $87 million in 2011.
Other intangible assets, net consisted primarily of drawings and intellectual property, and increased $3 million, $80 million and $115 million as a result of acquired businesses in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives which range from 2 to 15 years using either a straight-line or accelerated amortization method based on the pattern of economic benefits we expect to realize from such assets. Amortization expense for other intangible assets was $60 million in 2013, $49 million in 2012 and $46 million in 2011.
Computer software and other intangible asset amortization expense is expected to approximate $136 million for each of the next five years.
Investments, which are included in other noncurrent assets, net above consisted of the following at December 31:
In 2001, we formed the TRS joint venture. TRS is a system of systems integrator and provides fully customized solutions through the integration of command and control centers, radars, and communication networks. We record our share of the TRS income or loss and other comprehensive income (loss) as a component of cost of sales and AOCL, respectively. We record losses beyond the carrying amount of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit to provide the investee further financial support.
TRS has two major operating subsidiaries, one of which, Thales-Raytheon Systems Co. LLC (TRS LLC), we control and consolidate and is a component of our IDS segment, and the other one, Thales-Raytheon Systems Company S.A.S. (TRS SAS), which we account for using the equity method through our investment in TRS. Of the $71 million investment in TRS, $63 million represents undistributed earnings at December 31, 2013. Our consolidated statements of operations includes net income, which represents net income attributable to Raytheon Company and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Our primary noncontrolling interest relates to TRS LLC. TRS LLC has a joint venture with TRS SAS called Air Command Systems International S.A.S. (ACSI), for which TRS LLC performs work. TRS LLC had $46 million of receivables due from ACSI.
In addition, we have entered into certain joint ventures formed specifically to facilitate a teaming arrangement between two contractors for the benefit of the customer, generally the U.S. Government, whereby we receive a subcontract from the joint venture in the joint venture’s capacity as prime contractor. Accordingly, we record the work we perform for the joint venture as an operating activity.
Periodically we enter into other equity method investments which are not related to our core operations. We record the income or loss from these investments as a component of other (income) expense, net. We record losses beyond the
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
carrying amount of the investment only when we guarantee obligations of the investee or commit to provide the investee further financial support.
Note 8: Derivative Financial Instruments
Our primary market exposures are to foreign exchange rates and interest rates, and we use certain derivative financial instruments to help manage these exposures. We execute these instruments with financial institutions we judge to be credit-worthy, and the majority of our foreign currency forward contracts are denominated in currencies of major industrial countries. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The fair value amounts of asset derivatives included in other assets, net and liability derivatives included in other accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheets related to foreign currency forward contracts were as follows at December 31:
The fair values of these derivatives are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy for 2013 and 2012 because they are determined based on a market approach utilizing externally quoted forward rates for similar contracts.
We recognized the following pretax gains (losses) related to foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges:
Pretax gains (losses) related to foreign currency forward contracts not designated as cash flow hedges were not material at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
We use foreign currency forward contracts to fix the functional currency value of specific commitments, payments and receipts. The aggregate notional amount of the outstanding foreign currency forward contracts was $1,396 million and $1,305 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2013 have maturities at various dates through 2028 as follows: $908 million in 2014; $219 million in 2015; $129 million in 2016; $108 million in 2017; and $32 million thereafter.
Our foreign currency forward contracts contain off-set or netting provisions to mitigate credit risk in the event of counterparty default, including payment default and cross default. At both December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of our counterparty default exposure was less than $1 million and spread across numerous highly rated counterparties.
In December 2012, we issued $1.1 billion of fixed rate long-term debt with a maturity of 10 years. In conjunction with the debt issuance, we entered into interest rate lock agreements with a total notional value of $700 million to manage interest rate risk, which resulted in a decrease to AOCL of $3 million to be amortized over the term of the debt issued. As of December 31, 2012, the above referenced interest rate locks were closed out.
In November 2011, we issued $1.0 billion of fixed rate long-term debt with maturities ranging from 3 to 30 years. In conjunction with the debt issuance, we entered into interest rate lock agreements with a total notional value of $575 million to manage interest rate risk, which resulted in an increase to AOCL of $5 million to be amortized over the term of the debt issued. As of December 31, 2011, the above referenced interest rate locks were closed out.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Note 9: Notes Payable and Long-term Debt
Notes payable and long-term debt consisted of the following at December 31:
The notes are redeemable by us at any time at redemption prices based on U.S. Treasury rates. The carrying value of long-term debt was recorded at amortized cost. The estimated fair value of long-term debt was the following at December 31:
The fair value of long-term debt was determined on quoted prices in inactive markets, which falls within Level 2 of the fair value measurement hierarchy for 2013 and 2012.
In the fourth quarter of 2012, we received proceeds of $1,092 million for the issuance of $1.1 billion fixed rate long-term debt and exercised our call rights to repurchase, at prices based on fixed spreads to the U.S. Treasuries, $970 million of our long-term debt due 2014 and 2015 at a loss of $29 million pretax, $19 million after-tax, which is included in other (income) expense, net.
The adjustments to the principal amounts of long-term debt were as follows at December 31:
The aggregate amounts of principal payments due on long-term debt for the next five years are:
In December 2011, we entered into a $1.4 billion revolving credit facility maturing in 2016, replacing the previous $500 million and $1.0 billion credit facilities, both scheduled to mature in November 2012.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Under the $1.4 billion credit facility, we can borrow, issue letters of credit and backstop commercial paper. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at various rate options, including LIBOR plus a margin based on our credit ratings. Based on our credit ratings at December 31, 2013, borrowings would generally bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points. The credit facility is comprised of commitments from approximately 25 separate highly rated lenders, each committing no more than 10% of the facility. As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no borrowings outstanding under this credit facility. However, we had $2 million of outstanding letters of credit at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, which effectively reduced our borrowing capacity under this credit facility by those same amounts.
Under the $1.4 billion credit facility we must comply with certain covenants, including a ratio of total debt to total capitalization of no more than 60%. We were in compliance with the credit facility covenants during 2013 and 2012. Our ratio of total debt to total capitalization, as those terms are defined in the credit facility, was 30.0% at December 31, 2013. We are providing this ratio as this metric is used by our lenders to monitor our leverage and is also a threshold that limits our ability to utilize this facility.
Total cash paid for interest on notes payable and long-term debt was $210 million, $198 million and $167 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Note 10: Commitments and Contingencies
Leases-At December 31, 2013, we had commitments under long-term leases requiring annual rentals on a net lease basis as follows:
Rent expense was $248 million, $258 million and $271 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In the normal course of business, we lease equipment, office buildings and other facilities under leases that include standard escalation clauses for adjusting rent payments to reflect changes in price indices, as well as renewal options.
At December 31, 2013, we had commitments under agreements to outsource a portion of our information technology function, which have no minimum annual payments.
Environmental Matters-We are involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. Our estimate of the liability of total environmental remediation costs includes the use of a discount rate and takes into account that a portion of these costs is eligible for future recovery through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. We consider such recovery probable based on government contracting regulations and our long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs, and accordingly have recorded the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. Government within contracts in process, net. Our estimates regarding remediation costs to be incurred were as follows at December 31:
We also lease certain government-owned properties and generally are not liable for remediation of preexisting environmental contamination at these sites. As a result, we generally do not provide for these costs in our consolidated financial statements.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Due to the complexity of environmental laws and regulations, the varying costs and effectiveness of alternative cleanup methods and technologies, the uncertainty of insurance coverage and the unresolved extent of our responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of environmental matters; however, we do not expect any additional liability to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred are:
Financing Arrangements and Other-We issue guarantees, and banks and surety companies issue, on our behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention and advance payment obligations of us or our affiliates. These instruments expire on various dates through 2023. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding. The stated values outstanding consisted of the following at December 31:
Included in guarantees and letters of credit described above were $233 million and $268 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013, and $108 million and $225 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012, related to our joint venture in TRS. We provide these guarantees and letters of credit to TRS and other affiliates to assist these entities in obtaining financing on more favorable terms, making bids on contracts and performing their contractual obligations. While we expect these entities to satisfy their loans, and meet their project performance and other contractual obligations, their failure to do so may result in a future obligation to us. We periodically evaluate the risk of TRS and other affiliates failing to satisfy their loans, project performance and meet other contractual obligations described above. At December 31, 2013, we believe the risk that TRS and other affiliates will not be able to perform or meet their obligations is minimal for the foreseeable future based on their current financial condition. All obligations were current at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had an estimated liability of $8 million and $4 million, respectively, related to these guarantees and letters of credit.
In 1997, we provided a first loss guarantee of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank loans (maturing in 2015) to the Brazilian Government related to IDS' System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program. Loan repayments by the Brazilian Government were current at December 31, 2013.
We have entered into industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, as a condition to obtaining orders for our products and services from certain customers in foreign countries. At December 31, 2013, the aggregate amount of our offset agreements had an outstanding notional value of approximately $5 billion. These agreements are designed to return economic value to the foreign country by requiring us to engage in activities supporting local defense or commercial industries, promoting a balance of trade, developing in-country technology capabilities, or addressing other local development priorities. Offset agreements may be satisfied through activities that do not require a direct cash payment, including transferring technology, providing manufacturing, training and other consulting support to in-country projects, and the purchase by third parties (e.g., our vendors) of supplies from in-country vendors. These agreements may also be satisfied through our use of cash for activities such as subcontracting with local partners, purchasing supplies from in-country vendors, providing financial support for in-country projects, and making investments in local ventures. Such activities may also vary by country depending upon requirements as dictated by their governments. We typically do not commit to offset agreements until orders for our products or services are definitive. The amounts ultimately applied against our offset agreements are based on negotiations with the customers and typically require cash
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
outlays that represent only a fraction of the notional value in the offset agreements. Offset programs usually extend over several or more years and may provide for penalties in the event we fail to perform in accordance with offset requirements. We have historically not been required to pay any such penalties.
As a government contractor, we are subject to many levels of audit and investigation by the U.S. Government relating to our contract performance and compliance with applicable rules and regulations. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense Contract Management Agency, the Inspector General of the Department of Defense and other departments and agencies, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice and Congressional Committees. From time to time, these and other agencies investigate or conduct audits to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable requirements. Such investigations and audits could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon us, the suspension of government export licenses or the suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against us. Our final allowable incurred costs for each year are also subject to audit and have from time to time resulted in disputes between us and the U.S. Government with litigation resulting at the Court of Federal Claims (COFC) or the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) or their related courts of appeals. In addition, the Department of Justice has, from time to time, convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by us. We also provide products and services to customers outside of the U.S. and those sales are subject to local government laws, regulations, and procurement policies and practices. Our compliance with such local government regulations or any applicable U.S. Government regulations (e.g., the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations) may also be investigated or audited. Other than as specifically disclosed herein, we do not expect these audits, investigations or disputes to have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity, either individually or in the aggregate.
On July 22, 2010, Raytheon Systems Limited (RSL) was notified by the UK Border Agency (UKBA) that it had been terminated for cause on a program. The termination notice included allegations that RSL had failed to perform on certain key milestones and other matters in addition to claiming entitlement to recovery of certain losses incurred and previous payments made to RSL. We believe that RSL performed well and delivered substantial capabilities to the UKBA under the program, which has been operating successfully and providing actionable information since live operations began in May 2009. As a result of the termination notice, we adjusted our estimated amounts of revenue and cost under the program in the second quarter of 2010. On July 29, 2010, RSL filed a dispute notice on the grounds that the termination by the UKBA was not valid. On August 18, 2010, the UKBA initiated arbitration proceedings on this issue. On March 22, 2011, the UKBA gave notice that it had presented a demand to draw on the approximately $80 million of letters of credit provided by RSL upon the signing of the contract with the UKBA in 2007. On March 23, 2011, the UKBA submitted a detailed claim in the arbitration of approximately £350 million (approximately $579 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) for damages and clawback of previous payments, plus interest and arbitration costs, excluding any credit for capability delivered or draw on the letters of credit. The UKBA also asserted that additional amounts may be detailed in the claim in the future if estimates of its damages change, and for continuing post-termination losses and any re-procurement costs, which have not been quantified. At RSL's request, on March 29, 2011, the Arbitration Tribunal issued an interim order restraining the UKBA from drawing down on the letters of credit pending a hearing on the issue. Following the hearing, the Tribunal lifted the restraint on the basis that, at this early stage of the proceedings, the Tribunal had not heard the evidence needed to decide the merits of whether the contractual conditions for a drawdown had been established. The Tribunal also concluded that any decision on the UKBA's right to call on the letters of credit is inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration. The Tribunal also preserved RSL's right to claim damages should RSL later establish that the drawdown was not valid. As a result, on April 6, 2011, the UKBA drew the $80 million on the letters of credit.
As a result of the Tribunal's decision that the letters of credit are inextricably intertwined with the ultimate decision on the merits in the arbitration, we were no longer able to evaluate, independently from the overall claim, the probability of recovery of any amounts drawn on the letters of credit. We therefore recorded $80 million of costs related to the UKBA drawdown (UKBA LOC Adjustment), which was included in the operating expenses of our Intelligence, Information and Services (IIS) segment in the first quarter of 2011.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In June 2011, RSL submitted in the arbitration its defenses to the UKBA claim as well as substantial counterclaims in the amount of approximately £500 million (approximately $827 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) against the UKBA for the collection of receivables, damages and interest. On October 3, 2011, the UKBA filed its reply to RSL's counterclaims, and increased its claim amount by approximately £32 million, to include additional civil service and post termination costs, and approximately £33 million for interest, raising the gross amount of the UKBA claim for damages and clawback of previous payments to approximately £415 million (approximately $687 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013). On January 6, 2012, RSL filed its response to the UKBA's reply. RSL is pursuing vigorously the collection of all receivables for the program and damages in connection with the wrongful termination and is mounting a strong defense to the UKBA's alleged claims for losses and previous payments. RSL has also settled substantially all subcontractor claims, novated all key subcontracts to the UKBA and agreed with the UKBA that RSL's exit obligations to operate the previously delivered capability ended in April 2011. Effective April 15, 2011, the UKBA took over responsibility for operating the previously delivered capability. In March 2013, the UKBA updated the total net amount of its claims to approximately £302 million (approximately $500 million based on foreign exchange rates as of December 31, 2013) for damages, clawback of previous payments and interest, and inclusive of a credit for capability delivered by RSL. Arbitration hearings commenced in late 2012 and were completed in 2013. We expect a decision in the first half of 2014.
The receivables and other assets remaining under the program for technology and services delivered were approximately $40 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012. We believe the remaining receivables and other assets are probable of recovery in litigation or arbitration. We currently do not believe it is probable that RSL is liable for losses, previous payments (which includes the $80 million related to the drawdown on the letters of credit), clawback or other claims asserted by the UKBA either in its March 2011 arbitration filing or its October 2011 reply. Due to the inherent uncertainties in litigation and arbitration, and the complexity and technical nature of actual and potential claims and counterclaims, it is reasonably possible that the ultimate amount of any resolution of the termination could be less or greater than the amounts we have recorded. For the same reasons, at this time, we are unable to estimate a range of the possible loss or recovery, if any, beyond the claim and counterclaim amounts. If we fail to collect the receivable balances or are required to make payments against claims or other losses asserted by the UKBA in excess of the amounts we have recorded, it could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
On June 29, 2012 and July 13, 2012, we received a contracting officer’s final decision (COFD) for 2004 and 2005 incurred costs at SAS. The COFDs demand a total payment of $241 million for costs, interest and penalties associated with several issues, the largest of which relates to specific research and development and capital projects undertaken by SAS between 2000 and 2005. To date, no COFDs have been provided for 2000 to 2003 periods at SAS on these issues. The Government alleges that the costs incurred on the projects should have been charged directly to U.S. Government contracts rather than through indirect rates and that these costs should not be recoverable. We strongly disagree with the Government's position. We have requested a deferment of the payment and in February and May 2013, we filed complaints in the U.S. COFC challenging the 2004 and 2005 COFDs, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, we cannot estimate a range of potential loss. We believe that we appropriately charged the disputed costs based on government accounting standards and applicable precedent and properly disclosed our approach to the Government. We also believe that in many cases, the statute of limitations has run on the issues. Based upon the foregoing, we do not expect the results of the COFDs to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In addition, various other claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against, or initiated by, us. We do not expect any of these proceedings to result in any additional liability or gains that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. In connection with certain of our legal matters, we may be entitled to insurance recovery for qualified legal costs. We do not expect any insurance recovery to have a material impact on the financial exposure that could result from these matters.
As part of the 2013 business consolidation, the total costs of the severance benefits to terminated employees were not material, and almost all of the costs were incurred in accordance with existing termination benefit plans and not as one-time termination benefits. Additionally, relocation and other costs associated with the business consolidation were not material. Although not material, the majority of these costs will be recovered in our overhead rates.

Note 12: Stock-based Compensation Plans
Stock-based compensation expense and the associated tax benefits were as follows:
At December 31, 2013, there was $183 million of compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years.
At December 31, 2013, we had stock-based compensation awards outstanding under a number of stock plans, including our 2010 Stock Plan. Future grants of awards will be made from the 2010 Stock Plan and not from our prior plans.
Shares issued as a result of stock awards, stock option exercises or conversion of restricted stock unit awards will be funded through the issuance of new shares. Of the 41.8 million shares authorized under our stock plans, there were 7.3 million shares available for awards under such plans as of December 31, 2013.
Restricted Stock
The 2010 Stock Plan provides for the award of restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights to our employees, officers, nonemployee directors and consultants. Awards of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights generally are made by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (MDCC) and are compensatory in nature. These awards vest over a specified period of time as determined by the MDCC, generally four years for employee awards and one year for nonemployee directors. Restricted stock awards entitle the recipient to full dividend and voting rights beginning on the date of grant. Non-vested shares are restricted as to disposition and subject to forfeiture under certain circumstances. At the date of award each share of restricted stock is credited to common stock at par value. The fair value of restricted stock, calculated under the intrinsic value method at the date of award, is charged to income as compensation expense over the vesting period with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
Restricted stock activity was as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP)
In 2004, we established the LTPP, which provides for restricted stock unit awards granted from our stock plans to our senior leadership. These awards vest at the end of a three-year performance cycle based upon the achievement of specific pre-established levels of performance.
The performance goals for the three outstanding performance cycles at December 31, 2013, are independent of each other and based on three metrics, as defined in the award agreements: return on invested capital (ROIC), weighted at 50%; total shareholder return (TSR) relative to a peer group, weighted at 25%; and cumulative free cash flow from continuing operations (CFCF), weighted at 25%.
The ultimate award, which is determined at the end of each of the three-year performance cycles, can range from zero to 200% of the target award and also includes dividend equivalents, which are not included in the table below. Compensation expense for the awards is recognized over the performance period based upon the value determined under the intrinsic value method for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the award and the Monte Carlo simulation method for the TSR portion of the award using historic volatility. Compensation expense for the CFCF and ROIC portions of the awards will be adjusted based upon the expected achievement of those performance goals.
LTPP activity related to the expected units was as follows:
The increase (decrease) above relates to changes in the amount of expected awards as achievement is measured against performance goals.
Stock Options
In 2004, we changed the primary form of our broad-based equity compensation from stock options to restricted stock. There have been no stock options granted since 2005.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Stock option activity was as follows:
The total intrinsic value of options exercised in the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $21 million, $38 million and $29 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 all outstanding options were fully vested and exercisable. No options vested during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at December 31, 2013:
Shares exercisable at the corresponding weighted-average exercise price at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, were 0.1 million at $33.55, 0.9 million at $31.56 and 4.4 million at $38.98, respectively.
Note 13: Pension and Other Employee Benefits
We have pension plans covering the majority of our employees, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension Benefits). Our primary pension obligations relate to our domestic IRS qualified pension plans. We also provide certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees and to eligible employees upon retirement through other postretirement benefit plans (Other Benefits).
The fair value of plan assets for our domestic and foreign Pension Benefit plans was as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
We maintain a defined contribution plan that includes a 401(k) plan. Covered employees hired or rehired after January 1, 2007, are eligible for a Company contribution based on age and service, instead of participating in our pension plans. These and other covered employees are eligible to contribute up to a specific percentage of their pay to the 401(k) plan. We match the employee’s contribution, generally up to 3% or 4% of the employee’s pay, which is invested in the same way as employee contributions. Total expense for our contributions was $279 million, $272 million and $273 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there was $14.4 billion and $12.1 billion invested in our defined contribution plan, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $1.4 billion and $1.0 billion of these amounts were invested in our stock fund, respectively.
We also sponsor nonqualified defined benefit and defined contribution plans to provide benefits in excess of qualified plan limits. We have set aside certain assets in a separate trust, which we expect to be used to pay for trust obligations. The fair value of marketable securities held in trust, which are considered Level 1 assets under the fair value hierarchy, consisted of the following at December 31:
Included in marketable securities held in trust in the table above was $304 million and $259 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans. The liabilities related to the nonqualified defined contribution plans were $300 million and $251 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
We also maintain additional contractual pension benefits agreements for certain executive officers. The liability associated with such agreements was $34 million and $36 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Contributions and Benefit Payments
We may make both required and discretionary contributions to our pension plans. Required contributions are primarily determined in accordance with the Pension Protection Act (PPA), which amended the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) rules and are affected by the actual return on plan assets and plan funded status. The funding requirements under PPA require us to fully fund our pension plans over a rolling seven-year period as determined annually based upon the funded status at the beginning of the year. In July 2012, the Surface Transportation Extension act, which is also referred to as the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (STE Act), was passed by Congress and signed by the President. The STE Act includes a provision for temporary pension funding relief due to the low interest rate environment. The provision reduced our cash funding requirements primarily in 2012 and 2013. We made the following required and discretionary contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the years ended December 31:
We periodically evaluate whether to make additional discretionary contributions. We expect to make required contributions of approximately $875 million and $25 million to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, respectively, in 2014.

The projected benefit obligation (PBO) represent the present value of Pension Benefits earned through the end of the year, with allowance for future salary increases. The accumulated benefit obligation (ABO) is similar to the PBO, but does not provide for future salary increases. The PBO, ABO and asset values for our domestic qualified pension plans were as follows:
The PBO and fair value of plans assets for Pension Benefits plans with PBOs in excess of plan assets were $21,529 million and $18,068 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and $24,657 million and $17,450 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012.
The ABO and fair value of plan assets for Pension Benefits plans with ABOs in excess of plan assets were $18,980 million and $17,425 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013 and $22,252 million and $17,411 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012. The ABO for all Pension Benefits plans was $21,050 million and 22,288 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
The tables below provide a reconciliation of benefit obligations, plan assets, funded status and related actuarial assumptions of our domestic and foreign Pension Benefits and Other Benefits plans.
The PBO for our domestic and foreign Pension Benefits plans was $22,157 million and $813 million, respectively at December 31, 2013 and $23,836 million and $821 million, respectively, at December 31, 2012.

Retirement Plan Assumptions
* Currently at the ultimate trend rate.
* Currently at the ultimate trend rate.
The weighted-average discount rate for our domestic Pension Benefits plans was 5.08% and 4.15% at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Our foreign Pension Benefits plan assumptions have been included in the Pension Benefits assumptions in the table above.
The long-term ROA represents the average rate of earnings expected over the long term on the assets invested to provide for anticipated future benefit payment obligations. The long-term ROA used to calculate net periodic pension cost is set annually at the beginning of each year. Given the long-term nature of the ROA assumption, which we believe should not be solely reactive to short-term market conditions that may not persist, we expect the long-term ROA to remain unchanged unless there are significant changes in our investment strategy, the underlying economic assumptions, or other major factors. To establish our long-term ROA assumption, we employ a “building block” approach. As part of our annual process for determining whether it is appropriate to change our long-term ROA assumption, we first review the existing long-term ROA assumption against a statistically determined reasonable range of outcomes, which we consider to be between the 25th and 75th percentile likelihood of achieving a long-term return over future years (consistent with Actuarial Standards of Practice 27). Therefore, it is less than 25 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan would fall below or above the 25th and 75th percentiles points, respectively (i.e., it is 50 percent likely that the long-term return of the pension plan will be within the 25th and 75th percentile range). The building block approach and the reasonable range of outcomes are based upon our asset allocation assumptions and long-term capital market assumptions. Such
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
assumptions incorporate the economic outlook for various asset classes over short and long-term periods and also take into consideration other factors, including historical market performance, inflation and interest rates. The reasonable range of long-term returns that was used to validate the long-term ROA assumption for the calculation of the net periodic benefit cost for 2013, 2012 and 2011, are shown below.
Long-term domestic ROA of 8.75% fell between the 65th-70th percentile, 60th-65th percentile and 50th-55th percentile of the reasonable range for 2013, 2012 and 2011 respectively. The 50th percentile of the reasonable range used to develop each of the 2013, 2012 and 2011 long-term ROA was 7.51%, 7.99% and 8.66%, respectively.
Once our long-term ROA has been determined to be within the 25th to 75th percentile range of results, we review historical averages and patterns of returns to confirm reasonability of our long-term ROA assumption compared to past results. While history is not solely indicative of future market expectations, it does provide insight into general historical trends and long-term asset performance. In validating the 2013 long-term ROA assumption, we reviewed our pension plan asset performance since 1986. Our average annual actual rate of return since 1986 of 9.29%, determined on an arithmetic basis, exceeds our estimated 8.75% assumed return. Arithmetic annual averages represent the simple average returns over independent annual periods, whereas geometric returns reflect the compound average returns of dependent annual periods. The average annual actual return on a geometric basis for the same period was 8.57%. In addition, the actual annual returns have exceeded our long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% in seven of the past ten years. Since we have not had a significant change in investment strategy, our existing long-term ROA assumption of 8.75% is within the reasonable range and our historical trends and averages do not indicate a trend or pattern of returns significantly above or below our existing assumption, we determined our long-term ROA assumption for our domestic pension plans in 2013 would remain at 8.75%, consistent with our 2012 assumption. If we significantly change our long-term investment allocation or strategy, or if there is a significant change in the economic assumptions, then our long-term ROA assumption could change.
Our domestic pension plans’ actual rates of return were approximately 15%, 12% and (1)% for 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The difference between the actual rate of return and our long-term ROA assumption is included in deferred losses.
The long-term ROA assumptions for foreign Pension Benefits plans are based on the asset allocations and the economic environment prevailing in the locations where the Pension Benefits plans reside. Foreign pension assets do not make up a significant portion of the total assets for all of our Pension Benefits plans.
For purposes of determining pension expense under GAAP, a calculated “market-related value” of our plan assets is used to develop the amount of deferred asset gains or losses to be amortized. The market-related value of assets is determined using actual asset gains or losses over a three year period. Under GAAP, a “corridor” approach may be elected and applied in the recognition of asset and liability gains or losses which limits expense recognition to the net outstanding gains and losses in excess of the greater of 10 percent of the projected benefit obligation or the calculated "market-related value" of assets. We do not use a “corridor” approach in the calculation of FAS expense.
The effect of a 1% increase or decrease in the assumed health care trend rate for each future year for the aggregate of service cost and interest cost is less than $1 million and for the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation is a $7 million increase or decrease.
Plan Assets
Substantially all our domestic Pension Benefit Plan (Plan) assets, which consist of investments in cash and cash equivalents, publicly traded U.S. and international equity securities, private equity funds, private real estate funds, fixed-income securities, commingled funds and other investments such as insurance contracts and derivatives, are held in a master trust, which was established for the investment of assets of our Company-sponsored retirement plans. The assets of the master trust are overseen by our Investment Committee comprised of members of senior management drawn from appropriate diversified levels of the executive management team.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The Investment Committee is responsible for setting the policy that provides the framework for management of the Plan assets. In accordance with its responsibilities and charter, the Investment Committee meets on a regular basis to review the performance of the Plan assets and compliance with the investment policy. The policy sets forth an investment structure for managing Plan assets, including setting the asset allocation ranges, which are expected to provide an appropriate level of overall diversification and total investment return over the long term while maintaining sufficient liquidity to pay the benefits of the Plan. Asset allocation ranges are set to produce the highest return on investment taking into account investment risks that are prudent and reasonable given prevailing market conditions. In developing the asset allocation ranges, third party asset allocation studies are periodically performed that consider the current and expected positions of the plan assets and funded status. Based on these studies and other appropriate information, the Investment Committee establishes asset allocation ranges taking into account acceptable risk targets and associated returns.
The investment policy asset allocation ranges for the Plan, as set by the Investment Committee, for the year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:
The Investment Committee appoints the investment fiduciary, who is responsible for making investment decisions within the framework of the Investment Policy and for supervising the internal pension investment team. The pension investment team is comprised of experienced financial managers, who are all employees of the Company. The investment fiduciary reports back to the Investment Committee. During times of unusual market conditions, the investment fiduciary may seek authorization from the Investment Committee to change the investing allocation ranges to reasonably limit excessive volatility or other undesirable consequences.
Taking into account the asset allocation ranges, the investment fiduciary determines the specific allocation of the Plan’s investments within various asset classes. The Plan utilizes select investment strategies which are executed through separate account or fund structures with external investment managers who demonstrate experience and expertise in the appropriate asset classes and styles. The selection of investment managers is done with careful evaluation of all aspects of performance and risk, due diligence of internal operations and controls, reputation, systems evaluation and a review of investment managers' policies and processes. The Plan also utilizes funds that track an index and are highly liquid. Investment performance is monitored frequently against appropriate benchmarks and tracked to compliance guidelines with the assistance of third party performance evaluation tools and metrics.
Consistent with the objective of maximizing return while minimizing risk, multiple investment strategies are employed to diversify risk such that no single investment or manager holding presents a significant exposure to the total investment portfolio. Plan assets are invested in numerous diversified strategies with the intent to minimize correlations. This allows for diversification of returns. Plan assets can be invested in funds that track an index and are designed to achieve diversification across the related indices. The Plan had $4 billion invested in such funds across 4 indices as of December 31, 2013. Other than funds that track an index, no individual investment strategy represented more than 5% of the Plan as of December 31, 2013. Further, within each separate account strategy, guidelines are established which set forth the list of authorized investments, the typical portfolio characteristics and diversification required by limiting the amount that can be invested by sector, country and issuer.
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. Investments in equity securities (common and preferred) are valued at the last reported sales price when an active market exists. Investments in fixed-income securities are generally valued using methods based upon market transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Investments in private equity funds and private real estate funds are estimated
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
at fair market value which primarily utilizes net asset values reported by the investment manager or fund administrator. We review independently appraised values, audited financial statements and additional pricing information to evaluate the net asset values. For the very limited group of securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value, additional information is obtained from the investment manager and evaluated internally to determine whether any adjustments are required to reflect fair value.
The fair value of our Plan assets by asset category and by level (as described in "Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies") at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(1)
U.S. and International equities primarily include investments across the spectrum of large, medium and small market capitalization stocks.
(2)
Investment grade bonds are fixed-income securities with a rating equivalent to a Standard & Poors rating of BBB- or better. Non-investment grade bonds have a rating equivalent to a Standard & Poors rating of BB+ or less.
(3)
Core fixed-income securities are funds that invest primarily in intermediate-term high quality domestic bonds issued by various governmental or private sector entities.
(4)
Global multi-sector fixed-income investments are funds that invest globally among several sectors including governments, investment grade corporate bonds, high yield corporate bonds and emerging market bonds.
(5)
Fixed-income hedge funds can employ numerous strategies and seek to hedge some of the risk inherent in their investments by using a variety of methods, including short selling and derivative instruments.
(6)
Securitized fixed-income securities pool together various cash flow producing financial assets that are structured in a way that can achieve desired targeted credit, maturity or other characteristics and are typically collateralized by residential mortgages, commercial mortgages and other assets.
(7)
Convertible fixed-income securities are funds that invest in bonds that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the issuer's equity at certain times during the life of the bond, usually at the discretion of the bondholder.
(8)
Cash and cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid money market funds. Included in cash and cash equivalents is excess cash in investment manager accounts. This cash is available for immediate use and is used to fund daily operations and execute the investment policy. This amount is not considered to be part of the cash target allocation set forth in the investment policy.
(9)
Absolute return funds seek returns that are less volatile than long only funds under all market conditions.
(10)
Relative value fund strategies seek to capture arbitrage opportunities created by price discrepancies between related equity, debt and derivative financial instruments while minimizing or neutralizing market risk.
(11)
Event driven fund strategies seek to capture return opportunities created by special situations and corporate events tied to corporate merger and acquisition activity, restructuring, bankruptcy or financial distress.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(12)
Equity hedge fund strategies invest in global public equity securities, equity related options and derivatives and employ short selling with the objective of generating higher risk-adjusted returns than traditional investments in equity.
(13)
Macro fund strategies invest in futures, broad market indices and other financial instruments and seek to either generate positive returns regardless of market conditions or take advantage of global capital flows.
(14)
Multi-strategy funds allocate investments tactically across all asset classes globally based upon relative valuations to achieve maximum returns.
(15)
Private equity funds are predominantly invested in the U.S. and Western Europe.
(16)
The Plan participated in a securities lending program with the Trustee as of December 31, 2012 and exited the program by December 31, 2013. The program allowed the Trustee to loan securities, which are assets of the Plan, to approved brokers (Borrowers). The Trustee requires Borrowers, pursuant to a security loan agreement, to deliver collateral to secure each loan. The Plan bears the risk of loss with respect to the unfavorable change in fair value of the invested cash collateral. The market value of securities on loan is reflected in the various asset categories above. Loaned securities were predominantly U.S. equities, International equities, corporate bonds and U.S. Government bonds or treasuries. Cash collateral obligations of $15 million were received for securities on loan as of December 31, 2012. Cash collateral was invested in a separately maintained and managed cash collateral investment account.
(17)
As of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, this category included $106 million and $192 million of net receivables and payables which consisted primarily of pending trades, interest, dividends and other payable expenses.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(1)
The actual return on plan assets for assets still held at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $95 million and $(32) million, respectively.
The Plan limits the use of derivatives through direct or separate account investments such that the derivatives used are liquid and able to be readily valued in the market. Derivative usage in separate account structures is limited to hedging purposes or to gain market exposure in a non-speculative manner. The fair market value of the Plan’s derivatives through direct or separate account investments was approximately $20 million and less than $1 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
In addition, assets are held in trust for non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans, primarily in the U.K. and Canada, which are governed locally in accordance with specific jurisdictional requirements. These assets are overseen by local management in Canada and by trustees with a combination of members representing plan participants and local management in the U.K. Investments in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans consist primarily of fixed-income securities and equity securities and had a fair market value of $806 million and $717 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These investments are valued using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) as well as significant observable inputs (Level 2). Investments with significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) are immaterial in the non-U.S. Pension Benefits plans.
The fair market value of assets related to our Other Benefits was $431 million and $408 million as of December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. These assets included $189 million and $179 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, that were invested in the master trust described above and are therefore invested in the same assets described above. The remaining investments are held within Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Association (VEBA) trusts. The assets of the VEBA trusts are also overseen by the Investment Committee and managed by the same investment fiduciary that manages the master trust’s investments. These assets are generally invested in mutual funds, and are valued primarily using quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) as well as significant observable inputs (Level 2). There were no Level 3 investments in the VEBA trusts at December 31, 2013 or December 31, 2012.
The table below details assets by category for our VEBA trusts. These assets consist primarily of publicly-traded equity securities and publicly-traded fixed-income securities.

Note 14: Income Taxes
The provision for federal and foreign income taxes consisted of the following:
The expense for income taxes differs from the U.S. statutory rate due to the following:
We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. During 2013, the IRS completed its examination of our 2009 and 2010 tax years and we received final approval from the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) of a refund claim related to the 2011 tax year which completed IRS examinations through 2011. As a result of closing the federal audit examinations, our unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $70 million, inclusive of interest, the majority of which did not impact our income from continuing operations. During 2012, we received final approval from the IRS and the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation of an IRS Appeals Division settlement for the 2006-2008 IRS examination cycle (2012 Tax Settlement). As a result, our unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $24 million, inclusive of interest, all of which increased our income from continuing operations. In 2011, we received final approval from the IRS and the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation of a Minimum Tax Refund claim for the 2006-2008 IRS examination cycle. As a result, our unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $60 million, inclusive of interest, all of which increased our income from continuing operations. We are participating in the IRS Compliance Assurance Process (CAP) program for the 2012 and 2013 tax years. We are also under audit by multiple state and foreign tax authorities.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
At December 31, 2013, foreign earnings of approximately $509 million have been retained by foreign subsidiaries for reinvestment. In the first quarter of 2014, a foreign subsidiary authorized and completed a transaction which resulted in a taxable dividend of approximately $115 million. The transaction does not affect our indefinite reinvestment assertion because it generated a net tax benefit of approximately $80 million. No provision has been made for deferred taxes on undistributed earnings of non-U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings have been indefinitely invested or are expected to be remitted substantially free of additional tax. Determination of the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability on these undistributed earnings is not practicable because of the complexity of laws and regulations, the varying tax treatment of alternative repatriation scenarios, and the variation due to multiple potential assumptions relating to the timing of any future repatriation. We made the following net tax payments during the years ended December 31:
We believe that our income tax reserves are adequate; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater or less than amounts accrued and reflected in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, we could record adjustments to the amounts for federal, foreign and state tax-related liabilities in the future as we revise estimates or we settle or otherwise resolve the underlying matters. In the ordinary course of business, we may take new positions that could increase or decrease our unrecognized tax benefits in future periods.
The balance of unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, was $118 million and $129 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, the majority of which would affect earnings if recognized. We accrue interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in tax expense. During 2013, primarily as a result of the completion of the IRS and state examinations, we recorded $13 million of income related to interest which, net of the federal tax expense, was $9 million. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, we recorded $2 million of interest income and $14 million of interest income which, net of the federal tax, was $1 million and $9 million of interest income in 2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had $5 million and $17 million of interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits, which, net of the federal tax benefit, was approximately $3 million and $11 million, respectively.
A rollforward of our unrecognized tax benefits was as follows:
It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, may decrease by up to $115 million, as a result of resolving various issues in the currently open cycles, including the R&D tax credit. We expect that the majority of the decrease would affect the effective tax rate, if recognized.
We generally account for our state income tax expense as a deferred contract cost, as we can generally recover this expense through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government. We include this deferred amount in contracts in process, net until allocated to our contracts, which generally occurs upon payment or when otherwise agreed as allocable with the U.S. Government. Net state income tax expense allocated to our contracts was $42 million, $78 million and $16 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. We include state income tax expense allocated to our contracts in administrative and selling expenses.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Deferred income taxes consisted of the following at December 31:
As of December 31, 2013, we had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $468 million, of which $446 million was generated in the U.K. We believe that we will have sufficient taxable income to realize this deferred tax asset, as any net operating loss generated in the U.K. may be carried forward indefinitely.
The tax expense (benefit) related to discontinued operations was $(5) million, $1 million and $2 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Segment total net sales and operating income generally include intersegment sales and profit recorded at cost plus a specified fee, which may differ from what the selling entity would be able to obtain on sales to external customers. Corporate and Eliminations includes corporate expenses and intersegment sales and profit eliminations. Corporate expenses represent unallocated costs and certain other corporate costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of reportable segment operating performance.
Segment financial results were as follows:
We must calculate our pension and other postretirement benefits (PRB) costs under both Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements under GAAP and U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS). GAAP outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not indicative of the funding requirements for pension and PRB plans that we determine by other factors. CAS prescribes the allocation to and recovery of pension and other PRB costs on U.S. Government contracts. The results of each segment only include pension and PRB expense as determined under CAS. The CAS requirements for pension costs and its calculation methodology differ from the FAS requirements and calculation methodology. As a result, while both FAS and CAS use long-term assumptions in their calculation methodologies, each method results in different calculated amounts of pension and PRB cost. The FAS/CAS Adjustment, which is reported as a separate line in our segment results above, represents the difference between our pension and PRB expense or income under FAS in accordance with GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under CAS.
The components of operating income related to Corporate and Eliminations were as follows:

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2013.
Conclusion of Evaluation-Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013 were effective.
