RAYTHEON COMPANY

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

1. Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Raytheon Company (the “Company”) have been prepared on substantially the same basis as the Company’s annual financial statements. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The information furnished has been prepared from the accounts of the Company without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.

 

2. Employee Stock Plans

 

In 2004, the Company established the Long-Term Performance Plan (LTPP), under the Company’s 2001 Stock Plan, which provides awards of common stock to the Company’s senior leadership when specific pre-established levels of Company performance are achieved over a three-year performance cycle. The performance goals for 2004 and 2005, which are independent of each other and equally weighted, are based on two metrics: free cash flow as defined over a three-year period and total shareholder return relative to a peer group over a three-year period. The ultimate award, which is determined at the end of the three-year performance cycle, can range from zero to 200 percent of the aggregate target award. The aggregate target awards outstanding at June 26, 2005 related to 2005 and 2004 were 478,000 shares and 577,500 shares, respectively.

 

The Company applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based compensation plans. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recognized for the Company’s stock option plans, however, stock-based compensation expense has been recorded for restricted stock and the LTPP. Had compensation expense for the Company’s stock option plans been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards under these plans, consistent with the methodology prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Company’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have approximated the pro forma amounts indicated below:

The Company uses lot accounting for new commercial aircraft introductions at Raytheon Aircraft. The size of the initial lot for the Beechcraft Premier I and the Hawker Horizon is 200 and 75 units, respectively. Costs incurred on in-process and delivered aircraft in excess of the estimated average cost were included in inventories and totaled $80 million and $89 million on Premier and $100 million and $90 million on Horizon at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

General and program specific manufacturing equipment and tooling at Raytheon Aircraft are included in property, plant, and equipment. There was $199 million and $205 million, net of program specific manufacturing equipment and tooling related to Premier and Horizon at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

4. Product Warranty

 

Costs incurred under warranty provisions performed under long-term contracts are accounted for as contract costs as the work is performed. The estimation of these costs is an integral part of the determination of the pricing of the Company’s products and services.

 

Warranty provisions related to commercial aircraft sales are determined based upon an estimate of costs that may be incurred under warranty and other post-sales support programs. Activity related to aircraft warranty provisions was as follows:

6. Equity Security Units

 

In the three months ended June 27, 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity security units, the Company received proceeds of $863 million and issued 27.0 million shares of common stock.

 

The equity security units include a mandatorily redeemable equity security that represents preferred stock of RC Trust I (RCTI), an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company that initially issued this preferred stock to the Company in exchange for a subordinated note.

 

The subordinated notes payable ($408 million at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004), which are due on May 15, 2006, have the same terms as the mandatorily redeemable equity security which represent an undivided interest in the assets of RCTI, a Delaware business trust formed for the purpose of issuing these securities and whose assets consist solely of subordinated notes receivable issued by the Company. In the three months ended June 27, 2004, mandatorily redeemable equity securities with a par value of $409 million were repurchased at a loss of $27 million pretax, which was included in other expense. As a result of these repurchases, the Company’s subordinated notes payable declined by the same amount.

 

7. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Stockholders’ equity consisted of the following at:

The exercise prices for these stock options were greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods.

 

Stock options to purchase 18.6 million and 22.4 million shares of common stock in the three months ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, and options to purchase 18.6 million and 19.7 million shares of common stock in the six months ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, had exercise prices that were less than the average market price of the Company’s common stock during the respective periods and are included in the dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock, LTPP, and equity security units in the table above.

8. Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

 

The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions.

 

The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for the years 1998 through 2002. IRS examinations have been completed for tax years through 1997. The Company has protested certain positions taken by the IRS examination team on certain items related to the years 1995 through 1997 and those items are now being considered by the Appeals Division (Appeals) of the IRS.

 

9


In addition, the Company’s federal research tax credit refund claim for the years 1984 through 1990 remains under examination, and certain items regarding the Company’s Foreign Sales Corporation (FSC) benefit for the years 1989 through 1997 are also at Appeals. The Company believes adequate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all open years.

 

Amounts accrued for potential tax assessments are primarily included in the Company’s non-current deferred tax assets and total $253 million and $225 million at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Accruals relate to tax issues for U.S. federal taxes and taxation of foreign earnings and include accruals associated with items such as the tax benefits from the FSC and Extraterritorial Income (ETI) regimes, the amount of research tax credits, allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions, issues related to various acquisitions and divestitures, and various other federal and foreign tax issues. Amounts asserted by taxing authorities could be greater than the Company’s accrued position. Accordingly, additional losses on federal and foreign tax related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled.

 

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was enacted on October 22, 2004. The Act repealed and provided transitional relief for the ETI regime for transactions after December 31, 2004. The Act also provides a deduction for income derived from qualifying domestic production activities; the deduction is phased in over a five-year period at rates of 3% in years 2005 and 2006, 6% in years 2007, 2008, and 2009, and 9% thereafter. Some interpretations of the Act have raised concerns as to the extent that U.S. government contractors can claim full benefits under the domestic production activities incentive. Technical corrections to the Act intended to address these concerns have been jointly introduced by both Democratic and Republican leaders of the the congressional tax-writing committees. The Company does not expect the provisions of the Act to have a material impact on its 2005 tax rate but they may affect future years.

 

In addition, the Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The Company does not expect the tax liability related to any repatriation undertaken pursuant to the Act to be material.

 

9. Pension and Other Employee Benefits

 

The Company has pension plans covering the majority of its employees, including certain employees in foreign countries (Pension Benefits). In addition to providing Pension Benefits, the Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits to retired employees through other postretirement benefit plans (Other Benefits).

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company changed the measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans from October 31 to December 31. This change in measurement date was accounted for as a change in accounting principle. In the six months ended June 27, 2004, the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was a gain of $63 million pretax, $41 million after-tax, or $0.10 per basic and diluted share. Using the Company’s year-end as the measurement date for Pension Benefits and Other Benefit plans more appropriately reflects the plans’ financial status for the years then ended.

10. Business Segment Reporting

 

Reportable segments have been determined based upon product lines and are as follows: Integrated Defense Systems, Intelligence and Information Systems, Missile Systems, Network Centric Systems, Space and Airborne Systems, Technical Services, Aircraft, and Other. Segment 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 external sales. Corporate and Eliminations includes certain Company-wide accruals and intersegment sales and profit eliminations. In 2005, certain programs within Intelligence and Information Systems, Network Centric Systems, and Technical Services were realigned within those same segments. Information for all periods presented was restated to reflect these changes.

12. Discontinued Operations

 

In 2000, the Company sold its Raytheon Engineers & Constructors businesses (RE&C) to Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI). In May 2001, WGI filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company was required to perform various contract and lease obligations in connection with a number of different projects under letters of credit, surety bonds, and guarantees (Support Agreements) that it had provided to project owners and other parties.

 

For several of these projects, the Company has entered into settlement agreements that resolve the Company’s obligations under the related Support Agreements. On a number of these projects, the Company is continuing closeout efforts which includes warranty obligations, commercial close out, and claims resolution. There are also Support Agreements on projects where WGI is continuing to perform work which could present risk to the Company if WGI fails to meet its obligations in connection with these projects. In meeting its obligations under the remaining Support Agreements, the Company has various risks and exposures, including delays, equipment and subcontractor performance, warranty close out, various liquidated damages issues, collection of amounts due under contracts, and potential adverse claims resolution under various contracts and leases.

 

In August 2004, AES Red Oak LLC drew $30 million on a letter of credit provided by the Company. AES Red Oak LLC is the owner of the Red Oak power project in Sayreville, NJ, and there is a dispute between the Company and AES Red Oak LLC regarding the closeout of this project. The letter of credit was provided to AES Red Oak LLC in 2002 in lieu of the owner withholding retainage from periodic construction milestone payments.

 

The Company recorded net charges of $13 million and $18 million in the three months ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, and $55 million and $32 million in the six months ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, for program management, legal, and other costs related to RE&C. Included in the six months ended June 26, 2005, was a $39 million charge for the settlement of a class action lawsuit related to the sale of RE&C to WGI as discussed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies. This charge does not reflect any insurance proceeds that may be realized in the future as this amount is not currently estimable.

 

In the three months ended June 26, 2005, the Company also recorded an additional $23 million after-tax charge for an estimated liability for foreign tax-related matters. Although not expected to be material, additional losses on foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as estimates are revised or the underlying matters are settled.

 

16


Liabilities from discontinued operations included net current liabilities related to RE&C of $26 million and $17 million at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

In 2002, the Company sold its Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) for $1,123 million, net, subject to purchase price adjustments. The Company is currently involved in a purchase price dispute related to the sale of AIS in which the purchaser has claimed a purchase price adjustment of $85 million. The Company disputes this claim and expects the matter to be resolved in arbitration. As part of the transaction, the Company retained the responsibility for performance of the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) program and retained certain assets related to the BBJ program, which is now essentially complete.

 

The Company recorded charges related to AIS of $4 million in the three months ended June 27, 2004, and $4 million and $11 million in the six months ended June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, respectively, primarily related to the BBJ program.

 

Assets and liabilities related to AIS included net current assets of $17 million at June 26, 2005 and $19 million at December 31, 2004 and net current liabilities of $5 million and $7 million at June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

 

In the three months ended June 26, 2005, the total loss from discontinued operations was $13 million pretax, $32 million after-tax, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, versus $22 million pretax, $14 million after-tax, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the three months ended June 27, 2004.

 

In the six months ended June 26, 2005, the total loss from discontinued operations was $59 million pretax, $62 million after-tax, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, versus $43 million pretax, $28 million after-tax, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the six months ended June 27, 2004.

 

13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. The Company’s estimate of total environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred is $125 million. Discounted at a weighted-average risk-free rate of 5.8 percent, the Company estimates the liability to be $94 million before U.S. government recovery and had this amount accrued at June 26, 2005. A portion of these costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. The recovery of environmental cleanup costs from the U.S. government is considered probable based on government contracting regulations and the Company’s long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $52 million at June 26, 2005 for the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government, which is included in contracts in process. The Company leases certain government-owned properties and is generally not liable for environmental remediation at these sites, therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements for these costs. 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 the Company’s responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, however, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

17


The Company issues guarantees and has banks and surety companies issue, on its behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention, and advance payment obligations. Approximately $311 million, $799 million, and $80 million of these guarantees, letters of credit, and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, were outstanding at June 26, 2005, respectively, and $294 million, $827 million, and $250 million were outstanding at December 31, 2004, respectively. These instruments expire on various dates through 2015. At June 26, 2005, the amount of guarantees, letters of credit, and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, that remained outstanding was $94 million, $8 million, and $64 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations and are included in the numbers above. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding.

 

In 1997, the Company provided a first loss guarantee, which remains outstanding, of $133 million on $1.3 billion of U.S. Export-Import Bank loans (maturing in 2015) to the Brazilian government related to the System for the Vigilance of the Amazon (SIVAM) program being performed by Network Centric Systems.

 

The Company’s Other segment results were primarily comprised of the operations of Flight Options (FO). The higher losses in 2005 are due to increased aircraft charter expense due to the operational impacts primarily from older aircraft in the fleet, and customer demand. The older aircraft in the fleet are being retired and replaced by newer aircraft over the next five years. FO is also taking action to reduce the number of different types of aircraft in its fleet from twelve to four and in the interim to reduce current operating costs. Although FO management believes that these actions will result in improved financial results, there can be no assurance that these actions will have the expected effect.

 

In June 2003, the Company participated in a financial recapitalization of FO and exchanged certain FO debt for equity. The Company now owns approximately 69 percent of FO and is consolidating FO’s results in its financial statements. The Company is recording 100 percent of FO’s losses since the Company has been meeting all of FO’s financing requirements. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company loaned FO an additional $50 million. The Company’s investment in FO, including goodwill, was approximately $189 million at June 26, 2005. The Company and the minority equity owners in FO are currently exploring a further financial recapitalization of FO which will likely involve further investment by the Company in FO. Although the Company was prepared to make a further investment, the conditions for such further investment and financial recapitalization by the Company are the subjects of a dispute between the Company and the minority equity owners in FO. In June 2005, the Company and FO had agreed to a $50 million equity infusion which was objected to by the minority equity owners of FO and which is now in arbitration. FO requires further advances or other capital investment in order to meet minimum liquidity requirements. If losses at FO were to continue over the longer-term or sufficient funds are not made available to FO, the Company’s investment in FO could become impaired. In addition, the minority equity owners have sought to effect a merger of affiliates of FO and the minority equity owners where FO would assume certain liabilities and contingencies. This merger is required only in circumstances where the liabilities and contingencies assumed have a fair value not greater than $25 million at the time of the merger. The Company has not agreed that the conditions for the merger have been satisfied and the merger is the subject of ongoing discussions among FO, the Company, and the minority equity owners.

 

Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice, from time to time, has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company. Individually and in the aggregate, these investigations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Raytheon Aircraft is also subject to oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”). The FAA routinely evaluates aircraft operational and safety requirements and is responsible for certification of new and modified aircraft. Future action by the FAA may adversely affect Raytheon Aircraft’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity, including recovery of its investment in its newer aircraft.

 

As previously reported, the Company has been cooperating with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a formal investigation into the Company’s disclosure and accounting practices, primarily related to the commuter aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at Raytheon Aircraft during the period from 1997 to 2001.

 

On April 15, 2005, the Company announced that it had submitted an offer of settlement to the staff of the SEC, which the staff agreed to recommend to the SEC. The Company, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, offered to pay a civil penalty of $12 million and consent to the entry of a cease and desist order with respect to violations of Sections 17(a)(2)-(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A)-(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and related SEC rules. The SEC staff has agreed to recommend that the SEC approve the offer of settlement. The proposed settlement is subject to approval by the SEC.

 

The SEC continues to investigate two of the Company’s employees in connection with this matter, including the individual who served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from December 2002 until April 15, 2005. Both individuals have been placed on administrative leave.

In May 2004, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company reached an agreement to settle a securities class action lawsuit originally filed in 1999 on behalf of the Company and all individual defendants. The terms of the settlement include a cash payment of $210 million and the issuance of warrants for the Company’s stock with a stipulated value of $200 million. The warrants will have a five-year term with a strike price of $37.50 and will be issued when the settlement proceeds are distributed to the claimants which is expected to occur in 2005. In December 2004, the court approved the settlement, resolving all claims asserted against the Company and the individual defendants. In connection with the settlement, the Company recorded a charge of $329 million in the three months ended June 27, 2004, of which $325 million was included in other expense, a $410 million accrued expense, and an $85 million receivable for insurance proceeds primarily related to this settlement. The charge for the settlement will be revised to reflect the actual fair value of the warrants upon issuance. In 2004, the Company paid $210 million into escrow in connection with the settlement. At June 26, 2005, the insurance receivable balance was $80 million. In July 2004, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company and the individual defendants reached an agreement to settle a derivative action related to this class action lawsuit. The settlement, which was approved by the court in July 2005, will resolve all claims in the case and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

In May 2005, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company and individual defendants reached an agreement to settle a class action lawsuit originally filed in 2001. The settlement, which was approved by the court in July 2005, includes a cash payment by the Company of $39 million, which the Company accrued in the three months ended March 27, 2005, and will resolve all claims in the case. In the three months ended June 26, 2005, the Company paid $39 million into escrow in connection with the settlement. In November 2004, without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the individual defendants and the Company reached a tentative agreement to settle a derivative action related to this class action lawsuit. The settlement, which is subject to court approval, will resolve all claims in the case and is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

In May 2003, two purported class action lawsuits were filed on behalf of participants in the Company’s savings and investment plans who invested in the Company’s stock between August 19, 1999 and May 27, 2003. The two class action complaints are brought pursuant to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). Both lawsuits are substantially similar and have been consolidated into a single action. In April 2004, a second consolidated amended complaint (the “Second Consolidated Amended ERISA Complaint”) was filed on behalf of participants and beneficiaries in the Company’s savings and investment plans who invested in the Company’s stock since October 7, 1998. The Second Consolidated Amended ERISA Complaint alleges that the Company, its Pension and Investment Group, and its Investment Committee breached ERISA fiduciary duties by failing to: (1) prudently and loyally manage plan assets, (2) monitor the Pension and Investment Group and the Investment Committee and provide them with accurate information, (3) provide complete and accurate information to plan participants and beneficiaries, and (4) avoid conflicts of interest. In October 2004, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Consolidated Amended ERISA Complaint. Although the Company believes that it and the other defendants have meritorious defenses and intends to contest this lawsuit vigorously, an adverse resolution

of this lawsuit could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity. The Company is not presently able to reasonably estimate potential losses, if any, related to this lawsuit.

 

In addition, various claims and legal proceedings generally incidental to the normal course of business are pending or threatened against the Company. While the ultimate liability or potential range of loss, if any, from these proceedings is presently indeterminable, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

14. Accounting Standards

 

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The effect of adopting FIN 47 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense related to stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In April 2005, the effective date for this accounting standard was deferred until the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R prospectively in the first quarter of 2006 with an anticipated impact to earnings per share of less than $0.02 per share for the year 2006.

 

In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Costs (SFAS No. 151). This accounting standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated Results of Operations – Second Quarter 2005 Compared with Second Quarter 2004

 

Net sales were $5.4 billion in the second quarter of 2005 versus $4.9 billion in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to higher U.S. government expenditures in the Company’s defense businesses as well as higher sales at Raytheon Aircraft. Total sales to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) were 66 percent of sales in the second quarter of

 

20


2005 versus 69 percent in the second quarter of 2004. Total sales to the U.S. government, including foreign military sales, were 74 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005 versus 75 percent in the second quarter of 2004. Total international sales, including foreign military sales, were $1,049 million or 19 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005 versus $832 million or 17 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Gross margin, net sales less cost of sales, in the second quarter of 2005 was $919 million or 17.0 percent of sales versus $812 million or 16.5 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2004. Included in gross margin was a FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, described below, of $116 million and $118 million of expense in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers’ Accounting for Pensions (SFAS No. 87), outlines the methodology used to determine pension expense or income for financial reporting purposes, which is not necessarily indicative of the funding requirements of pension plans, which are determined by other factors. A major factor in determining pension funding requirements are Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) that proscribe the allocation to and recovery of pension costs on U.S. government contracts. The difference between SFAS No. 87 (FAS) pension expense or income and CAS pension expense is reported as a separate line item in the Company’s segment results called FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment. The results for each segment only include pension expense as determined under CAS, which can generally be recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government.

 

Administrative and selling expenses were $356 million or 6.6 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005 versus $345 million or 7.0 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Research and development expenses were $136 million or 2.5 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005 versus $127 million or 2.6 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Operating income was $427 million or 7.9 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2005 versus $340 million or 6.9 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2004. The changes in operating income by segment are discussed below.

 

Interest expense in the second quarter of 2005 was $82 million versus $109 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decrease in interest expense in the second quarter of 2005 was primarily due to lower average debt.

 

Other expense, net in the second quarter of 2004 was $363 million. Included in other expense, net in the second quarter of 2004 was a $325 million charge related to the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit described below in Financial Condition and Liquidity and a $37 million charge related to the Company’s repurchase of long-term debt and subordinated notes payable described below in Capital Structure and Resources.

 

The effective tax rate was 34.7 percent and 23.0 percent in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by ESOP dividend deductions, export-related tax benefits, and research and development tax credits applicable to certain government contracts. Included in the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2005 was a $5 million accrual related to certain federal and foreign

 

21


tax issues. Included in the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2004 was an $8 million valuation allowance related to the anticipated expiration of certain foreign tax credits as a result of the $329 million charge related to the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit described below in Financial Condition and Liquidity.

 

Income from continuing operations was $233 million in the second quarter of 2005, or $0.51 per diluted share on 455.1 million average shares outstanding versus a loss from continuing operations of $94 million in the second quarter of 2004, or $0.22 per diluted share on 434.6 million average shares outstanding.

 

The loss from discontinued operations, described below in Discontinued Operations, was $32 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2005 versus $14 million after-tax, or $0.03 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Net income in the second quarter of 2005 was $201 million, or $0.44 per diluted share versus a net loss of $108 million, or $0.25 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Segment Results

 

Integrated Defense Systems had sales of $940 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $870 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to growth on international Patriot programs and the Cobra Judy Replacement Mission Equipment program partially offset, as expected, by lower sales on the Sea-Based Radar program. Operating income was $139 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $104 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in operating margin was due to higher sales on international programs and profit adjustments on contracts nearing completion.

 

Intelligence and Information Systems had sales of $630 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $583 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to growth in classified programs. Operating income was $59 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $52 million in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Missile Systems had sales of $1,007 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $939 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to the ramp up on Tactical Tomahawk and several new programs. Operating income was $104 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $106 million in the second quarter of 2004. The decline in operating margin in 2005 was due to the completion of cost recovery for prior year restructuring actions. The costs related to these restructuring actions were accrued in 1997 through 2000, but were being recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government over a five-year period. The wind-down of this recovery was substantially completed in 2004.

 

Network Centric Systems had sales of $804 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $758 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase was due to increased effort on development programs and communication programs. Operating income was $78 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $64 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in operating margin was due to improved performance partially offset by lower joint venture income.

 

Space and Airborne Systems had sales of $1,060 million in the second quarter of 2005

 

22


versus $985 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to growth in ATFLIR production and airborne radar programs. Operating income was $146 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $142 million in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Technical Services had sales of $509 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $478 million in the second quarter of 2004. Operating income was $38 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $35 million in the second quarter of 2004.

 

Raytheon Aircraft had sales of $687 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $570 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in sales was due to higher new and used aircraft sales. Operating income was $33 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $23 million in the second quarter of 2004. The increase in operating income was due to higher sales volume and aircraft mix.

 

The Other segment had sales of $189 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus $153 million in the second quarter of 2004. The Other segment had an operating loss of $20 million in the second quarter of 2005 versus an operating loss of $7 million in the second quarter of 2004. The Other segment’s results were primarily comprised of the operations of Flight Options.

 

Six Months 2005 Compared with Six Months 2004

 

Net sales in the first six months of 2005 were $10.4 billion versus $9.6 billion in the first six months of 2004. The increase in sales was due to higher U.S. government expenditures in the Company’s defense businesses as well as higher sales at Raytheon Aircraft. Sales to the U.S. DoD were 68 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus 70 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004. Total sales to the U.S. government, including foreign military sales, were 75 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus 76 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004. Total international sales, including foreign military sales, were $1,940 million or 19 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,736 million or 18 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004.

 

Gross margin, net sales less cost of sales, in the first six months of 2005 was $1.7 billion or 16.9 percent of sales versus $1.5 billion or 15.5 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004. Included in gross margin was a FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, described above, of $232 million and $239 million of expense in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively.

 

Administrative and selling expenses were $705 million or 6.8 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus $659 million or 6.9 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004.

 

Research and development expenses were $236 million or 2.3 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus $242 million or 2.5 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004.

 

Operating income was $804 million or 7.8 percent of sales in the first six months of 2005 versus $591 million or 6.2 percent of sales in the first six months of 2004. The changes in operating income by segment are discussed below.

 

23


Interest expense in the first six months of 2005 was $158 million versus $226 million in the first six months of 2004. The decrease in interest expense in 2005 was primarily due to lower average debt.

 

Other expense, net in the first six months of 2005 was $17 million versus $363 million in the first six months of 2004. Included in other expense, net in the first six months of 2005 was a $12 million charge related to the Company’s proposed settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as described in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Included in other expense, net in the first six months of 2004 was a $325 million charge related to the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit described below in Financial Condition and Liquidity and a $37 million charge related to the Company’s repurchase of long-term debt and subordinated notes payable described below in Capital Structure and Resources.

 

The effective tax rate was 34.3 percent and 70.8 percent in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting the U.S. statutory rate of 35 percent reduced by ESOP dividend deductions, export-related tax benefits, and research and development tax credits applicable to certain government contracts. Included in the effective tax rate for the first six months of 2005 was the impact of the $12 million nondeductible proposed settlement with the SEC and a $5 million accrual related to certain federal and foreign tax issues. Included in the effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2004 was an $8 million valuation allowance related to the anticipated expiration of certain foreign tax credits as a result of the $329 million charge related to the settlement of a securities class action lawsuit described below in Financial Condition and Liquidity. The 2004 effective tax rate was also affected by the low level of pretax earnings.

 

Income from continuing operations was $429 million in the first six months of 2005, or $0.94 per diluted share on 455.6 million average shares outstanding versus $7 million in the first six months of 2004, or $0.02 per diluted share on 429.3 million average shares outstanding. The increase in average shares outstanding was due primarily to common stock issued in connection with the Company’s equity security units described below in Capital Structure and Resources.

 

The loss from discontinued operations, described below in Discontinued Operations, was $62 million after-tax, or $0.14 per diluted share in the first six months of 2005 versus $28 million after-tax, or $0.07 per diluted share in the first six months of 2004.

 

Effective January 1, 2004, the Company changed the measurement date for its pension and other postretirement benefit plans from October 31 to December 31. This change in measurement date was accounted for as a change in accounting principle. The cumulative effect of this change in accounting principle was a gain of $53 million pretax for pension benefits and a gain of $10 million pretax for other postretirement benefits. Using the Company’s year end as the measurement date for pension and other postretirement benefit plans more appropriately reflects the plans’ financial status for the years then ended. In the first six months of 2004, the total cumulative effect of change in accounting principle was a gain of $63 million pretax, $41 million after-tax, or $0.10 per diluted share.

 

Net income in the first six months of 2005 was $367 million, or $0.81 per diluted share versus $20 million, or $0.05 per diluted share in the first six months of 2004.

Segment Results

 

Integrated Defense Systems had sales of $1,846 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,709 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in sales was due to growth on international Patriot programs and the Cobra Judy Replacement Mission Equipment program partially offset, as expected, by lower sales on the Sea-Based Radar program. Operating income was $260 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $198 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in operating margin was due to higher sales on international programs and profit adjustments on contracts nearing completion.

 

Intelligence and Information Systems had sales of $1,172 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,107 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in sales was due to growth in classified programs. Operating income was $109 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $97 million in the first six months of 2004.

 

Missile Systems had sales of $1,997 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,904 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in sales was due primarily to the ramp up on several new programs. Operating income was $209 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $213 million in the first six months of 2004. The decline in operating margin in 2005 was due to the wind-down of cost recovery for prior year restructuring actions. The costs related to these restructuring actions were accrued in 1997 through 2000, but were being recovered through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government over a five year period. The wind-down of this recovery was substantially completed in 2004.

 

Network Centric Systems had sales of $1,566 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,462 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase was due to increased effort on development programs and communications programs. Operating income was $157 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $118 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in operating margin was due to improved performance.

 

Space and Airborne Systems had sales of $2,017 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $1,998 million in the first six months of 2004. Operating income was $301 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $271 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in operating margin in 2005 was due to profit adjustments on contracts nearing completion and favorable resolution of certain unbilled items.

 

Technical Services had sales of $976 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $928 million in the first six months of 2004. Operating income was $69 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $66 million in the first six months of 2004. The sales growth rate in the first six months of 2005 is not expected to continue for the remainder of the year.

 

Raytheon Aircraft had sales of $1,129 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $944 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in sales was due to higher new and used aircraft sales. Operating income was $35 million in the first six months of 2005 versus an operating loss of $5 million in the first six months of 2004. The increase in operating income was due to higher new and used aircraft sales combined with continued productivity and cost savings improvements. The Company has made a significant investment in its Premier and Horizon aircraft, the realization of which is contingent upon future sales at forecasted prices and reductions in production costs on future deliveries.

 

25


During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted a provisional type certification for the Horizon aircraft. Final certification is expected in 2005.

 

Raytheon Aircraft’s collective bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinist (IAM) union expires on July 31, 2005 and negotiations of a new agreement are ongoing. A vote on ratification of the new agreement is expected to occur on July 30, 2005. At this time, the Company can not predict the outcome or impact of the negotiations or any subsequent vote.

 

The Other segment had sales of $381 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $328 million in the first six months of 2004. The Other segment had an operating loss of $41 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $22 million in the first six months of 2004.

 

The Other segment’s results were primarily comprised of the operations of Flight Options (FO). The higher losses in 2005 are due to increased aircraft charter expense due to the operational impacts primarily from older aircraft in the fleet, and customer demand. The older aircraft in the fleet are being retired and replaced by newer aircraft over the next five years. FO is also taking action to reduce the number of different types of aircraft in its fleet from twelve to four and in the interim to reduce current operating costs. Although FO management believes that these actions will result in improved financial results, there can be no assurance that these actions will have the expected effect.

 

In June 2003, the Company participated in a financial recapitalization of FO and exchanged certain FO debt for equity. The Company now owns approximately 69 percent of FO and is consolidating FO’s results in its financial statements. The Company is recording 100 percent of FO’s losses since the Company has been meeting all of FO’s financing requirements. In the second quarter of 2005, the Company loaned FO an additional $50 million. The Company’s investment in FO, including goodwill, was approximately $189 million at June 26, 2005. The Company and the minority equity owners in FO are currently exploring a further financial recapitalization of FO which will likely involve further investment by the Company in FO. Although the Company was prepared to make a further investment, the conditions for such further investment and financial recapitalization by the Company are the subjects of a dispute between the Company and the minority equity owners in FO. In June 2005, the Company and FO had agreed to a $50 million equity infusion which was objected to by the minority equity owners of FO and which is now in arbitration. FO requires further advances or other capital investment, in order to meet minimum liquidity requirements. If losses at FO were to continue over the longer-term or sufficient funds are not made available to FO, the Company’s investment in FO could become impaired. In addition, the minority equity owners have sought to effect a merger of affiliates of FO and the minority equity owners where FO would assume certain liabilities and contingencies. This merger is required only in circumstances where the liabilities and contingencies assumed have a fair value not greater than $25 million at the time of the merger. The Company has not agreed that the conditions for the merger have been satisfied and the merger is the subject of ongoing discussions among FO, the Company, and the minority equity owners.

 

Commuter aircraft customers are generally thinly capitalized companies that are dependent on the commuter aircraft industry. These customers could be significantly

affected by sustained higher fuel costs and possible industry consolidation. These factors could have a material adverse effect on the financial strength of these customers. At June 26, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company’s exposure on commuter-related assets was approximately $565 million consisting of 274 aircraft and approximately $614 million consisting of 297 aircraft, respectively.

In the second quarter of 2005, Integrated Defense Systems booked $1.7 billion to continue the ship system integration and detail design for the U.S. Navy’s DD(X) Destroyer. In the first quarter of 2004, Missile Systems booked $2.1 billion for the Kinetic Energy Interceptor system contract.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

In 2000, the Company sold its Raytheon Engineers & Constructors businesses (RE&C) to Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI). In May 2001, WGI filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company was required to perform various contract and lease obligations in connection with a number of different projects under letters of credit, surety bonds, and guarantees (Support Agreements) that it had provided to project owners and other parties.

 

For several of these projects, the Company has entered into settlement agreements that resolve the Company’s obligations under the related Support Agreements. On a number of these projects, the Company is continuing closeout efforts which includes warranty obligations, commercial close out, and claims resolution. There are also Support Agreements on projects where WGI is continuing to perform work which could present risk to the Company if WGI fails to meet its obligations in connection with these projects. In meeting its obligations under the remaining Support Agreements, the Company has various risks and exposures, including delays, equipment and subcontractor performance, warranty close out, various liquidated damages issues, collection of amounts due under contracts, and potential adverse claims resolution under various contracts and leases.

 

In August 2004, AES Red Oak LLC drew $30 million on a letter of credit provided by the Company. AES Red Oak LLC is the owner of the Red Oak power project in Sayreville, NJ, and there is a dispute between the Company and AES Red Oak LLC regarding the closeout of this project. The letter of credit was provided to AES Red Oak LLC in 2002 in lieu of the owner withholding retainage from periodic construction milestone payments.

 

The Company recorded net charges of $13 million and $18 million in the second quarter of 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $55 million and $32 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively, for program management, legal, and other costs related to RE&C. Included in the first six months of 2005, was a $39 million charge for the settlement of a class action lawsuit related to the sale of RE&C to WGI as discussed in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

 

28


This charge does not reflect any insurance proceeds that may be realized in the future as this amount is not currently estimable.

 

In the second quarter of 2005, the Company also recorded an additional $23 million after-tax charge for an estimated liability for foreign tax-related matters. Although not expected to be material, additional losses on foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as estimates are revised or the underlying matters are settled.

 

In 2002, the Company sold its Aircraft Integration Systems business (AIS) for $1,123 million, net, subject to purchase price adjustments. The Company is currently involved in a purchase price dispute related to the sale of AIS in which the purchaser has claimed a purchase price adjustment of $85 million. The Company disputes this claim and expects the matter to be resolved in arbitration. As part of the transaction, the Company retained the responsibility for performance of the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) program and retained certain assets related to the BBJ program, which is now essentially complete.

 

The Company recorded charges related to AIS of $4 million in the second quarter of 2004, and $4 million and $11 million in the first six months of 2005 and 2004, respectively, primarily related to the BBJ program.

 

In the second quarter of 2005, the total loss from discontinued operations was $13 million pretax, $32 million after-tax, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, versus $22 million pretax, $14 million after-tax, or $0.03 per basic and diluted share in the second quarter of 2004.

 

In the first six months of 2005, the total loss from discontinued operations was $59 million pretax, $62 million after-tax, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, versus $43 million pretax, $28 million after-tax, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share in the first six months of 2004.

 

Net cash used in operating activities from discontinued operations related to RE&C was $45 million in the first six months of 2005 versus net cash used of $10 million in the first six months of 2004. The Company expects its operating cash flow to be negatively affected by approximately $25 million in the remainder of 2005 which includes project completion, legal, and management costs related to RE&C. Further increases in project costs may increase the estimated operating cash outflow for RE&C in 2005.

 

Financial Condition and Liquidity

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $494 million in the first six months of 2005 versus net cash provided by operating activities of $788 million in the first six months of 2004. In the first six months of 2005, the Company contributed $340 million to the Company’s pension plans, $200 million of which was discretionary versus $158 million in the first six months of 2004. Net cash tax payments are expected to be approximately $60 million in 2005 versus $5 million in 2004.

 

Total contributions (required and discretionary) to the Company’s pension plans are expected to be approximately $515 million in 2005. Congress is currently considering pension funding reform legislation which would increase funding requirements for most companies sponsoring defined benefit pension plans. If enacted, the pension funding reform legislation could result in an increase in the Company’s pension contribution requirement beginning in 2006.

 

29


Savings and investment plan activity includes certain items related to the Company’s 401(k) plan that were funded through the issuance of the Company’s common stock and are non-cash operating activities included on the 2004 statement of cash flows. In 2005, these items were funded by cash.

 

The Company provides long-term financing to its aircraft customers. Origination of financing receivables in the first six months of 2005 was $91 million versus $157 million in the first six months of 2004. Collection of financing receivables not sold was $163 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $254 million in the first six months of 2004.

 

Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2005 was $187 million versus $324 million in the first six months of 2004. Capital expenditures were $112 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $134 million in the first six months of 2004. Capital expenditures for the full year 2005 are expected to be approximately $390 million. Capitalized expenditures for internal use software were $36 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $50 million in the first six months of 2004. Capitalized expenditures for internal use software are expected to be approximately $110 million in 2005 as the Company continues to convert significant portions of existing financial systems to an integrated financial system. In the first quarter of 2005, the Company paid the third and final installment of $60 million related to the 2003 acquisition of Solipsys Corporation. The second installment of $70 million was paid in the first quarter of 2004.

 

Net cash used in financing activities was $409 million in the first six months of 2005 versus net cash used of $121 million in the first six months of 2004. Dividends paid to stockholders were $190 million in the first six months of 2005 versus $168 million in the first six months of 2004. The quarterly dividend rate was $0.22 per share for the first six months of 2005 versus $0.20 per share for the first two quarters of 2004.

 

In 2004, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase, between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2006, of up to $700 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. In the first six months of 2005, the Company repurchased $192 million of common stock under this program.

 

Capital Structure and Resources

 

Total debt was $5.1 billion at June 26, 2005 and $5.2 billion at December 31, 2004. Cash and cash equivalents were $454 million at June 26, 2005 and $556 million at December 31, 2004. At June 26, 2005, the cash and cash equivalent balance included approximately $100 million of cash held by foreign subsidiaries. Total debt, as a percentage of total capital, was 32.5 percent at June 26, 2005 versus 32.8 percent at December 31, 2004.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, the Company repurchased long-term debt and subordinated notes payable with a par value of $877 million at a loss of $37 million pretax.

 

The Company’s most restrictive financial bank agreement covenant is an interest coverage ratio that currently requires earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to be at least 3.0 times net interest expense for the prior four quarters. The Company was in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant during the first six months of 2005.

 

30


Lines of credit with certain commercial banks exist to provide short-term liquidity. The lines of credit bear interest based upon LIBOR and were $2.2 billion at June 26, 2005 and $2.3 billion at December 31, 2004. There were no borrowings outstanding at June 26, 2005. The Company had approximately $100 million of outstanding letters of credit and $79 million of commercial paper borrowings outstanding at June 26, 2005 which effectively reduced the Company’s borrowing capacity under the lines of credit to $2.0 billion. There were no borrowings outstanding under these lines of credit at December 31, 2004.

 

In the second quarter of 2004, in accordance with the terms of the Company’s equity security units, the Company received proceeds of $863 million and issued 27.0 million shares of common stock.

 

The Company has on file a shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to $3.0 billion in debt securities, common or preferred stock, warrants to purchase any of the aforementioned securities, and/or stock purchase contracts, under which $1.3 billion remained outstanding at June 26, 2005. A majority of the remaining availability under the shelf registration is expected to be used in connection with the settlement of a class action lawsuit, described in Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Financial Statements.

 

The Company’s need for, cost of, and access to funds are dependent on future operating results, as well as conditions external to the Company. Cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, proceeds from divestitures, and other available financing resources are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure, and debt service requirements during the next twelve months and for the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company may, from time to time, utilize excess cash balances to repurchase debt or common stock as warranted by market conditions.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to remediation of various environmental sites. The Company’s estimate of total environmental remediation costs expected to be incurred is $125 million. Discounted at a weighted-average risk-free rate of 5.8 percent, the Company estimates the liability to be $94 million before U.S. government recovery and had this amount accrued at June 26, 2005. A portion of these costs are eligible for future recovery through the pricing of products and services to the U.S. government. The recovery of environmental cleanup costs from the U.S. government is considered probable based on government contracting regulations and the Company’s long history of receiving reimbursement for such costs. Accordingly, the Company has recorded $52 million at June 26, 2005 for the estimated future recovery of these costs from the U.S. government, which is included in contracts in process. The Company leases certain government-owned properties and is generally not liable for environmental remediation at these sites, therefore, no provision has been made in the financial statements for these costs. 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 the Company’s responsibility, it is difficult to determine the ultimate outcome of these matters, however, any additional liability is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

31


The Company issues guarantees and has banks and surety companies issue, on its behalf, letters of credit and surety bonds to meet various bid, performance, warranty, retention, and advance payment obligations. Approximately $311 million, $799 million, and $80 million of these guarantees, letters of credit, and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, were outstanding at June 26, 2005, respectively, and $294 million, $827 million, and $250 million were outstanding at December 31, 2004, respectively. These instruments expire on various dates through 2015. At June 26, 2005, the amount of guarantees, letters of credit, and surety bonds, for which there were stated values, that remained outstanding was $94 million, $8 million, and $64 million, respectively, related to discontinued operations and are included in the numbers above. Additional guarantees of project performance for which there is no stated value also remain outstanding.

 

Defense contractors are subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies that oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice, from time to time, has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company. Individually and in the aggregate, these investigations are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Raytheon Aircraft is also subject to oversight by the Federal Aviation Administration (the “FAA”). The FAA routinely evaluates aircraft operational and safety requirements and is responsible for certification of new and modified aircraft. Future action by the FAA may adversely affect the Raytheon Aircraft’s financial position, results of operations, and liquidity including recovery of its investment in its newer aircraft.

 

Accounting Standards

 

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and (or) method of settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. FIN 47 is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The effect of adopting FIN 47 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations has not yet been determined.

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123R). SFAS No. 123R requires the recognition of compensation expense related to stock options under SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. In April 2005, the effective date for this accounting standard was deferred until the first annual period beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R prospectively in the first quarter of 2006 with an anticipated impact to earnings per share of less than $0.02 per share for the year 2006.

 

32


In November 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 151, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Costs (SFAS No. 151). This accounting standard, which is effective for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005, requires that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted materials (spoilage) should be recognized as current-period charges. The adoption of SFAS No. 151 is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements

 

An investment in our common stock or debt securities includes risks and uncertainties. Investors should consider the following factors carefully, in addition to the other information included in this Form 10-Q, before purchasing our securities.

 

This filing and the information we are incorporating by reference, including any statements relating to the Company’s future plans, objectives, and projected future financial performance, contain or are based on, forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws. Specifically, statements that are not historical facts, including statements accompanied by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend,” or “plan,” variations of these words, and similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. The Company cautions readers that any such forward-looking statements are based on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable, but are subject to a wide range of risks, and actual results may differ materially. Given these uncertainties, you should not rely on forward-looking statements.

 

We heavily depend on our government contracts, which are only partially funded, subject to immediate termination and heavily regulated and audited, and the termination or failure to fund one or more of these contracts could have a negative impact on our operations.

 

We act as prime contractor or major subcontractor for many different government programs. Over its lifetime, a program may be implemented by the award of many different individual contracts and subcontracts. The funding of government programs is subject to congressional appropriations. Although multiple year contracts may be planned in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may continue for several years. Consequently, programs are often only partially funded initially, and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. The termination of funding for a government program would result in a loss of anticipated future revenues attributable to that program. That could have a negative impact on our operations. In addition, the termination of a program or failure to commit funds to a prospective program or a program already started could increase our overall costs of doing business.

 

Generally, government contracts are subject to oversight audits by government representatives and contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, without prior notice at the government’s convenience upon the payment of compensation only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination. We can give no assurance that one or more of our government contracts will not be terminated under these circumstances. Also, we can give no assurance that we would be able to procure

 

33


new government contracts to offset the revenues lost as a result of any termination of our contracts. As our revenues are dependent on our procurement, performance and payment under our contracts, the loss of one or more critical contracts could have a negative impact on our financial condition.

 

Our government business is also subject to specific procurement regulations and a variety of socio-economic and other requirements. These requirements, although customary in government contracts, increase our performance and compliance costs. These costs might increase in the future, reducing our margins, which could have a negative effect on our financial condition. Failure to comply with these regulations and requirements could lead to suspension or debarment, for cause, from 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

 

  government security regulations

 

  employment practices

 

  protection of the environment

 

  accuracy of records and the recording of costs

 

  foreign corruption

 

The termination of a government contract or relationship as a result of any of these acts would have a negative impact on our operations and could have a negative effect on our reputation and ability to procure other government contracts in the future. On those contracts for which we are teamed with others and are not the prime contractor, the U.S. government could terminate a prime contract under which we are a subcontractor, irrespective of the quality of our services as a subcontractor.

 

In addition, sales to the government may be affected by:

 

  changes in procurement policies

 

  budget considerations

 

  unexpected developments, such as the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, which change concepts of national defense

 

  political developments abroad, such as those occurring in the wake of the September 11 attacks

 

The influence of any of these factors, which are largely beyond our control, could also negatively impact our financial condition. We also may experience problems associated with advanced designs and programs required by the government which may result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns. Failure to overcome these technological difficulties and the occurrence of cost overruns would have a negative impact on our results.

 

34


We depend on the U.S. government for a significant portion of our sales, and the loss of this relationship or a shift in government funding could have severe consequences on the financial condition of Raytheon.

 

Approximately 74% of our net sales in 2004 were to the U.S. government. Therefore, any significant disruption or deterioration of our relationship with the U.S. government would significantly reduce our revenues. Our U.S. government programs must compete with programs managed by other defense contractors for a limited number of programs and for uncertain levels of funding. Our competitors continuously engage in efforts to expand their business relationships with the U.S. government at our expense and are likely to continue these efforts in the future. The U.S. government may choose to use other defense contractors for its limited number of defense programs. In addition, the funding of defense programs also competes with non-defense spending of the U.S. government. Budget decisions made by the U.S. government are outside of our control and have long-term consequences for the size and structure of Raytheon. A shift in government defense spending to other programs in which we are not involved or a reduction in U.S. government defense spending generally could have severe consequences for our results of operations.

 

We derive a significant portion of our revenues from international sales and are subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.

 

In 2004, sales to international customers, including foreign military sales, accounted for approximately 18% of our net sales. We expect that international sales will continue to account for a significant portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. As a result, we are subject to risks of doing business internationally, including:

 

  changes in regulatory requirements

 

  domestic and foreign government policies, including requirements to expend a portion of program funds locally and governmental industrial cooperation requirements

 

  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

 

  delays in placing orders

 

  the complexity and necessity of using foreign representatives and consultants

 

  the uncertainty of adequate and available transportation

 

  the uncertainty of the ability of foreign customers to finance purchases

 

  uncertainties and restrictions concerning the availability of funding credit or guarantees

 

  imposition of tariffs or embargoes, export controls and other trade restrictions

 

35


  the difficulty of management and operation of an enterprise spread over various countries

 

  compliance with a variety of foreign laws, as well as U.S. laws affecting the activities of U.S. companies abroad

 

  economic and geopolitical developments and conditions, including international hostilities, acts of terrorism and governmental reactions, inflation, trade relationships, changes in governments and military and political alliances

 

  Uncertainty of dispute resolution in foreign jurisdictions

 

While these factors or the impact of these factors are difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could adversely affect our operations in the future.

 

We may not be successful in obtaining the necessary licenses to conduct operations abroad, and Congress may prevent proposed sales to foreign governments.

 

Licenses for the export of many of our products are required from government agencies in accordance with various statutory authorities, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, as amended, the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, as amended, and the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, as amended. We can give no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining these necessary licenses in order to conduct business abroad. In the case of certain sales of defense equipment and services to foreign governments, the U.S. Department of State must notify the Congress at least 15 to 30 days, depending on the size and location of the sale, prior to authorizing these sales. During that time, the Congress may take action to block the proposed sale.

 

Competition within our markets may reduce our procurement of future contracts and our sales.

 

The military and commercial industries in which we operate are highly competitive. Our competitors range from highly resourceful small concerns, which engineer and produce specialized items, to large, diversified firms. Several established and emerging companies offer a variety of products for applications similar to those of our products. Our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas. There can be no assurance that we can continue to compete effectively with these firms. In addition, some of our largest customers could develop the capability to manufacture products similar to products that we manufacture. This would result in these customers supplying their own products and competing directly with us for sales of these products, all of which could significantly reduce our revenues and seriously harm our business.

 

Furthermore, we are facing increased international competition and cross-border consolidation of competition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against our current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not result in reduced revenues and market share or seriously harm our business.

 

36


Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new technologies that achieve market acceptance.

 

Both our commercial and defense markets are characterized by rapidly changing technologies and evolving industry standards. Accordingly, our future performance depends on a number of factors, including our ability to:

 

  identify emerging technological trends in our target markets

 

  develop and maintain competitive products

 

  enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our products from those of our competitors

 

  develop and manufacture and bring products to market quickly at cost-effective prices

 

  effectively structure our businesses, through the use of joint ventures, teaming agreements, and other forms of alliances, to the competitive environment

 

Specifically, at Raytheon Aircraft Company, our future success is dependent on our ability to meet scheduled timetables for the development, certification and delivery of new and derivative product offerings and our ability to continue to compete with our existing legacy aircraft products.

 

We believe that, in order to remain competitive in the future, we will need to continue to develop new products, which will require the investment of significant financial resources. The need to make 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 technology. Due to the design complexity of our products, we may in the future experience delays in completing 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 products will develop or continue to expand 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. The possibility that our competitors might develop new technology or products might cause our existing technology and products to become obsolete. If we fail in our new product development efforts or our products fail to achieve market acceptance more rapidly than our competitors, our revenues will decline and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected.

 

We enter into fixed-price contracts which could subject us to losses in the event that we have cost overruns.

 

A significant portion of our contracts are entered into on a fixed-price basis. This allows us to benefit from cost savings, but we carry the burden of cost overruns. If our initial 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 then we may not realize their full benefits. Our financial condition is dependent on our ability to maximize our earnings from our contracts. Lower earnings caused by cost overruns and cost controls would have a negative impact on our financial results.

 

37


Our business could be adversely affected by a negative audit by the U.S. government.

 

U.S. government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency, or the DCAA, routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These agencies review a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of, and a contractor’s compliance with, its internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, estimating, compensation and management information systems. Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a specific contract will not be reimbursed, while such costs already reimbursed must be refunded. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities, we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and administrative sanctions, including 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 use estimates in accounting for many programs. Changes in our estimates could adversely affect our future financial results.

 

Contract and program accounting require 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. Assumptions have to be made regarding the length of time to complete the contract because costs also include expected increases in wages and prices for materials. Incentives or penalties related to performance on contracts are considered in estimating sales and profit rates, and are recorded when there is sufficient information for us to assess anticipated performance. Estimates of award fees are also used 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 future financial performance.

 

We consider several factors in determining lot size and use estimates in measuring average cost of manufacturing aircraft in the lot.

 

The Company uses lot accounting for new commercial aircraft such as the Beechcraft Premier I and the Hawker Horizon. Lot accounting involves selecting an initial lot size at the time a new aircraft begins to be delivered and measuring an average cost over the entire lot for each aircraft sold. The costs attributed to aircraft delivered are based on the estimated average cost of all aircraft in the lot and are determined under the learning curve concept which anticipates a predictable decrease in unit costs from cost reduction initiatives and as tasks and production techniques become more efficient through repetition. Once the initial lot has been completed, the use of lot accounting is discontinued. The selection of lot size is a critical judgment. The Company determines lot size based on several factors, including the size of firm backlog, the expected annual production on the aircraft, and the anticipated market demand for the product.

 

38


Incorrect underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates concerning the selection of the initial lot size or changes in market condition, along with a failure to realize predicted unit costs from cost reduction initiatives and repetition of task and production techniques as well as supplier cost reductions, may adversely affect future financial performance.

 

We consider several factors when determining the market or carrying value of used general aviation and commuter aircraft.

 

The Company considers independent published data on value of used aircraft, comparable like sales, and current market conditions. Changes in market or economic conditions and changes in products or competitive products may adversely impact the future valuation of used aircraft.

 

We are at risk of losses and adverse publicity stemming from any accident involving aircraft for which we hold design authority.

 

If a Raytheon aircraft were to crash or be involved in an accident, we could be exposed to significant tort liability. The insurance we carry to cover damages arising from any future accidents may be inadequate. In the event that our insurance is not adequate, we may be forced to bear substantial losses from an accident. In addition, any accident involving a Raytheon aircraft could create a public perception that our aircraft are not safe or reliable, which could harm our reputation, result in reduced sales, and harm our business.

 

Likewise, accidents and incidents involving Raytheon aircraft may prompt the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to issue Airworthiness Concern Sheets (ACS’s), Notices of Proposed Rulemaking for Airworthiness Directive action, and Airworthiness Directives (AD’s) themselves. AD’s are regulations that require corrective actions or limitations to address FAA safety concerns about a specific model or class of aircraft. ACS’s and Notices are public notifications of the FAA’s safety concern and both request public comment on the issue. Publication of ACS’s, Notices, and AD’s could create a public perception that a particular Raytheon aircraft is not safe, reliable, or suitable for an operator’s needs. This perception could result in aircraft being returned to Raytheon for refunds, lost future sales, or both. Publication of an AD could require design modifications causing Raytheon to incur significant expenditures altering an aircraft design, altering aircraft in production, and altering fielded aircraft under warranty. AD’s issued by the FAA are typically followed by similar regulatory requirements in other countries where affected aircraft are certified. Accordingly, if an AD were issued, Raytheon could incur expenses related to corrective action worldwide for the fleet of aircraft impacted by the AD. The publication of ACS’s, Notices and AD’s could lead to a decline in revenues and have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The aircraft manufacturing industry is subject to extensive government regulation, and new regulations may increase our operating costs.

 

In the United States, our commercial aircraft products are required to comply with FAA regulations governing design approvals, production and quality systems, airworthiness, and continuing operational safety. Internationally, similar requirements exist for design,

 

39


airworthiness, and operational approvals. These requirements are generally administered by the national aviation authorities of each country and, in the case of Europe, coordinated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).

 

We may incur additional charges relating to our former Engineering and Construction Business.

 

We have obligations related to outstanding letters of credit, surety bonds and guarantees (Support Agreements) provided in connection with a number of contracts and leases of our engineering and construction business unit (E&C Business), which we sold to Washington Group International in July 2000. In meeting the obligations under the remaining Support Agreements, we have various risks and exposures, including delays, equipment and subcontractor performance, warranty closeout, various liquidated damages issues, collection of amounts due under contracts, and potential adverse claims resolution under various contracts and leases. While these potential obligations, liabilities and risks or the impact of them are difficult to predict, any one or more of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

 

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 position, results of operations, and liquidity.

 

We are defendants in a number of litigation matters. These claims may divert financial and management resources that would otherwise be used to benefit our operations. Although we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the claims made in each and all of the litigation matters to which we have been named a party, and intend to contest each lawsuit vigorously, no assurances can be given that the results of these matters will be favorable to us. An adverse resolution of any of these lawsuits could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and 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 businesses, our future performance is highly dependent upon the continued services of our key engineering personnel and executive officers. Our prospects depend upon our ability to attract and retain 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. Our failure to compete for these personnel could seriously harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Some of our workforce is represented by labor unions.

 

Approximately 11,500 of our employees are unionized, which represented approximately 14% of our employees at December 31, 2004. As a result, we may experience work stoppages, which could adversely affect our business, and we are vulnerable to the demands imposed by our collective bargaining relationships. We cannot predict how stable these relationships, currently with 9 different U.S. labor organizations and 4 different non-U.S. labor organizations, will be or whether we will be able to meet the requirements of these unions without impacting the financial condition of Raytheon. In addition, the presence of unions may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce.

 

40


Work stoppages and instability in our union relationships could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, resulting in strain on our relationships with our customers, as well as a loss of revenues. That would adversely affect our results of operations.

 

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

 

Protecting our intellectual property rights is critical to our ability to compete and succeed as a company. We own a large number of United States and foreign patents and patent applications, as well as trademark, copyright and semiconductor chip mask work registrations which are necessary and contribute significantly to the preservation of our competitive position in the market. There can be no assurance that any of these patents and other intellectual property will not be challenged, invalidated 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 disclosure of our proprietary information. These measures may not suffice to deter misappropriation or independent third party development of similar technologies. Moreover, 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 United States law.

 

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

 

Because we use and generate large quantities of hazardous substances and wastes in our manufacturing operations, 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 our current or past practices at numerous properties and, in some cases, have been named as a defendant in related personal injury or “toxic tort” claims.

 

We are also subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations that impose strict requirements for the proper management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, restrict air and water emissions from our manufacturing operations, and require maintenance of a safe workplace. These laws and regulations can impose substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and 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. We incur, and expect to continue to incur, substantial capital and operating costs to comply with these laws and regulations. In addition, new laws and regulations, stricter enforcement of existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or the imposition of new clean-up requirements could require us to incur costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

 

Our insurance coverage may be inadequate to cover all significant risk exposures.

 

We are exposed to liabilities that are unique to the products and services we provide. A significant portion of our business relates to designing, developing and manufacturing

 

41


advanced defense and technology systems and products. New technologies may be untested or unproven. In some, but not all, circumstances, we may receive indemnification from the U.S. government. While we maintain insurance for certain risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover all claims or liabilities, and we may be forced to bear substantial costs resulting from risks and uncertainties of our business. It also is not possible to obtain insurance to protect against all operational risks and liabilities.

 

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

 

Our manufacturing operations are highly dependent upon the delivery of materials by outside suppliers in a timely manner. In addition, we depend in part upon subcontractors to assemble major components and subsystems used in our products in a timely and satisfactory manner in full compliance with purchase order terms and conditions and all applicable laws and regulations. While we enter into long-term or volume purchase agreements with a few of our suppliers, we cannot be sure that materials, components, and subsystems will be available in the quantities we require, if at all. We are dependent for some purposes on sole-source suppliers. If any of these sole-source suppliers fails to meet our needs, we may not have readily available alternatives. Our inability to fill our supply needs would jeopardize our ability to satisfactorily and timely complete our obligations under government and other contracts. This might result in reduced sales, termination of one or more of these contracts and damage to our reputation and relationships with our customers. All of these events could have a negative effect on our financial condition.

 

The level of returns and the discount rate on pension and retirement plan assets could affect our earnings in future periods.

 

Our earnings may be positively or negatively impacted by the amount of income or expense we record for our employee benefit plans. This is particularly true with income or expense for our pension plans. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that we calculate income or expense for the plans using actuarial valuations. These valuations are based on assumptions that we make relating to financial and other economic conditions. Changes in key economic indicators can result in changes in the assumptions we use.

 

The unpredictability of our results may harm the trading price of our securities, or contribute to volatility.

 

Our operating results may vary significantly over time for a variety of reasons, many of which are outside of our control, and any of which may harm our business. The value of our securities may fluctuate as a result of considerations that are difficult to forecast, such as:

 

  volume and timing of product orders received and delivered

 

  levels of product demand

 

  consumer and government spending patterns

 

42


  the timing of contract receipt and funding

 

  our ability and the ability of our key suppliers to respond to changes in customer orders

 

  timing of our new product introductions and the new product introductions of our competitors

 

  changes in the mix of our products

 

  cost and availability of components and subsystems

 

  price erosion

 

  adoption of new technologies and industry standards

 

  competitive factors, including pricing, availability and demand for competing products

 

  fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

 

  conditions in the capital markets and the availability of project financing

 

  regulatory developments

 

  general economic conditions, particularly the cyclical nature of the general aviation market in which we participate

 

  our ability to obtain licenses from the U.S. government to sell products abroad.

 

A rating downgrade by credit agencies could limit our access to capital and cause our borrowing costs to increase.

 

A downgrade in our credit rating could negatively affect our ability to access capital. Credit ratings for the Company were assigned by Fitch at F2 for short-term borrowing and BBB for senior debt, by Moody’s at P-3 for short-term borrowing and Baa3 for senior debt, and by S&P at A-2 for short-term borrowing and BBB for senior debt. If the rating agencies downgrade our ratings, particularly below investment grade, it may significantly limit our access to capital and our borrowing costs would increase. In addition, we would likely be required to pay a higher interest rate in future financings and our potential pool of investors and funding sources would likely decrease.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s primary market exposures are to interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

 

The Company meets its working capital requirements with a combination of variable rate short-term and fixed rate long-term financing. The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements with commercial and investment banks to manage interest rates

 

43


associated with the Company’s financing arrangements. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts with commercial banks to fix the dollar value of commitments and payments to international vendors and the value of foreign currency denominated receipts. The market-risk sensitive instruments used by the Company 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.

 

Financial instruments held by the Company which are subject to interest rate risk include notes payable, long-term debt, long-term receivables, investments, and interest rate swap agreements. The aggregate hypothetical loss in earnings for one year of those financial instruments held by the Company at June 26, 2005 and June 27, 2004, which are subject to interest rate risk resulting from a hypothetical increase in interest rates of 10 percent, was approximately $1 million, after-tax. Fixed rate financial instruments were not evaluated, as the risk exposure is not material. The Company believes its exposure due to changes in foreign exchange rates is not material due to the Company’s hedging policy and the fact that the Company does not enter into speculative hedges.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 26, 2005. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports the Company files and submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported as and when required.

 

In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the second quarter of 2005 that have materially affected the Company’s internal control over financial reporting except as described below.

 

During the second quarter of 2005, the Company disclosed an organization change on Form 8-K dated April 15, 2005, noting that its Chief Financial Officer had been placed on administrative leave and that the Company’s Controller was performing the duties of both Controller and Chief Financial Officer.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company is a party to or has property subject to litigation and other proceedings referenced in “Note 13 – Commitments and Contingencies” of the Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in this Form 10-Q and in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, or arising in the ordinary course of

 

44


business. In the opinion of management, except as otherwise indicated herein in the Form 10-K, it is unlikely that the outcome of any such litigation or other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

 

See the “Legal Proceedings” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for a detailed description of previously reported actions.

 

The Company is primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. government investigate whether the Company’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. government investigations of the Company, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil, or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Company, 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 the Company. Defense contractors are also subject to many levels of audit and investigation. Agencies which oversee contract performance include: the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Department of Defense Inspector General, the Government Accountability Office, the Department of Justice, and Congressional Committees. The Department of Justice from time to time has convened grand juries to investigate possible irregularities by the Company.

 

Previously Reported Matters

 

As previously reported, in June 2001, a class action lawsuit entitled, Muzinich & Co., Inc. et al v. Raytheon Company, et. al., (Civil Action No. 01-0284-S-BLW) was filed in federal court in Boise, Idaho allegedly on behalf of all purchasers of common stock or senior notes of Washington Group International, Inc. (WGI) during the period April 17, 2000 through March 1, 2001 (the class period). The plaintiff class claims to have suffered harm by purchasing WGI securities because the Company and certain of its officers allegedly violated federal securities laws by purportedly misrepresenting the true financial condition of RE&C in order to sell RE&C to WGI at an artificially inflated price. An amended complaint was filed on October 1, 2001 alleging similar claims. The Company and the individual defendants filed a motion seeking to dismiss the action in mid-November 2001. On April 30, 2002, the Court denied the Company’s and the individual defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint. In April 2003, the District Court conditionally certified the class and defined the class period as that between April 17, 2000 and March 2, 2001, inclusive. Thereafter, defendants filed their answer to the amended complaint denying liability. Without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, in May 2005, the Company reached an agreement to settle this class action on behalf of the Company and the individual defendants. The settlement, which was approved by the Court on July 11, 2005, includes a cash payment by the Company of $39 million and will resolve all claims in the case.

 

As previously reported, in July 2004 the Company and the individual defendants reached a tentative agreement to settle all claims in the In re Raytheon Derivative Litigation (No. 17495-NC), without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. On July 14, 2005, the court approved the settlement.

 

As previously reported, the Company has been cooperating with the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a formal investigation into the Company’s

 

45


disclosure and accounting practices, primarily related to the commuter aircraft business and the timing of revenue recognition at Raytheon Aircraft during the period from 1997 to 2001.

 

On April 15, 2005, the Company announced that it had submitted an offer of settlement to the staff of the SEC, which the staff agreed to recommend to the SEC. The Company, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, offered to pay a civil penalty of $12 million and consent to the entry of a cease and desist order with respect to violations of Sections 17(a)(2)-(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Sections 13(a) and 13(b)(2)(A)-(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and related SEC rules. The SEC staff has agreed to recommend that the SEC approve the offer of settlement. The proposed settlement is subject to approval by the SEC.

 

The SEC continues to investigate two of the Company’s employees in connection with this matter, including the individual who served as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer from December 2002 until April 15, 2005. Both individuals have been placed on administrative leave.

If during the Vesting Period Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or one of its subsidiaries for any reason other than as set forth in Section 3 (a) through (c) below, then Recipient shall cease to be entitled to delivery of any shares of Stock in which Units are settled as to which the applicable restrictions have not theretofore lapsed, and all rights in and to such shares, including any prorated portion of the shares with respect to a partial year of employment, as well as cash in lieu of dividends as described in Section 4B below, shall be forfeited immediately after Recipient ceases to be an employee of the Company or any subsidiary.

 

3. Effect of Death, Disability or Change in Corporate Control

 

The Units shall vest, and restrictions on the Units shall lapse, upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

 

(a) your death;

 

(b) in accordance with the schedule set forth above in the event of (i) a Medical Leave of Absence of at least one year or (ii) total disability as evidenced by commencement and continuation for more than one year of benefits under the Company’s Long Term Disability Plan (or if you are not a member, meeting the conditions (other than membership) for benefits under the Long Term Disability Plan) for more than one year; or


(c) upon a Change in Corporate Control.

 

4. Settlement of the Award

 

  A. Issuance of Shares. Promptly following the vesting of Units, the Company shall cause to be issued to you in book-entry form the number of shares of Stock you have earned under this Award.

 

  B. Payment of Dividend Equivalents. You shall be entitled to receive a cash payment in lieu of dividends upon the lapsing of restrictions on, and vesting of, Units under this Award, if and to the extent that the Board of Directors approves a dividend for all Company shareholders. The dividend equivalent amount will be a cash payment based upon the number of Units vesting hereunder multiplied by each quarterly per share dividend approved by the Board of Directors of the Company (currently $.22 per share) multiplied by the number of fiscal quarters during which you held Units prior to the lapsing of restrictions. You will not be entitled to any cash payment in lieu of dividends on Units or shares of Stock covered by this Award which are forfeited hereunder. You are entitled to receive cash payments in lieu of dividends if and to the extent that the Board of Directors continues to approve such dividends, and the payment of cash in lieu of dividends hereunder is no guarantee that the Board of Directors will continue to approve cash dividends and that you will continue to receive cash in lieu of dividends in the future. After vesting of Units and issuance of shares of Stock hereunder, you shall be entitled to receive a cash dividend payment on your shares of Stock to the same extent that all shareholders of the Company are entitled to receive such dividends.

 

 

5. Other Provisions

 

  A. Other Conditions of Plan Apply. This Award is subject to all of the remaining terms and conditions of the Plan, including but not limited to the provisions relieving the Company of any obligation to issue shares of Stock until all applicable securities laws have been complied with and providing that the grant of awards under the Plan, including this Award, will not interfere with or limit in any way the company’s right to terminate your employment at any time. The Plan is administered and interpreted by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, whose determinations are final and binding on all persons concerned.

 

  B. No Guaranty of Future Awards. This Award in no way guarantees you the right to or expectation that you may receive similar awards with respect to any other similar performance cycle or period which the Committee may, in its discretion, establish and as to which the Committee may elect grant awards under the Plan.

 

  C. No Rights as Shareholder. You will not be considered a shareholder of the Company with respect to the Units or the shares of Stock issuable upon vesting of the Units or any dividend equivalent cash payment unless and until shares of Stock are issued to you in book-entry form in payment of the Units. Therefore, you have no right to vote the Units or to receive dividends with respect to such Units.

 

  D. No Rights as Employee. This Award shall not be deemed to create a contract or other promise of continued employment with the Company and shall not prohibit or restrict the Company’s ability to terminate you at any time for any reason.

 

2


  E. Restrictions on Transfer of Units. Until the lapse of the restrictions applicable to any Units and the issuance of shares of Stock in payment therefor, pursuant to these terms and conditions, such Units may not be sold, transferred, pledged, exchanged, hypothecated or disposed of by you and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

  F. Taxes. Taxes may be assessed and/or withheld as required by law at applicable federal, state and/or local (including non-U.S. jurisdictions) tax rates with respect to Units, issuance of Shares and cash in lieu of dividends.

 

  F. Plan. All terms and conditions of the Plan are incorporated herein by reference and constitute an integral part hereof. Any capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan.

 

  G. Notices. Notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally or by mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Office of the General Counsel of the Company, 870 Winter Street, Waltham, Massachusetts 02451, and to you at your address as shown on the Company’s payroll records, or to such other address as you by notice to the Company may designate in writing from time to time.

 

  H. Governing Law. This Award shall be governed by, construed and administered in accordance with applicable federal law; provided, however, that to the extent not in conflict with federal law, this Award shall be governed by, construed and administered in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, other than its laws respecting choice of law.

 

  I. Counterparts. This Award may be executed in one or more counterparts all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.
