Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

20 rewritten, 8 added, 4 removed, 101 unchanged

Rewritten

In addition, our sales to non-U.S. customers expose us to different financial and legal [added: risks.]

Rewritten

The U.S. government provides a significant portion of our revenue. In [removed: 2020, approximately] [added: 2021,] 70% of our consolidated revenue was from the U.S. government.

Rewritten

Our [removed: U.S.] government contracts are subject to termination rights by the customer. U.S. government contracts generally permit the government to terminate a contract, in whole or in part, for convenience.

Rewritten

[removed: If a contract is terminated for convenience, a contractor usually is entitled to receive payments for its] allowable costs incurred and the proportionate share of fees or earnings for the work performed.

Rewritten

The U.S. government also reviews the adequacy of, and compliance with, internal control systems and policies, including the contractor’s purchasing, property, [added: estimating, material, earned value management and accounting systems.]

Rewritten

[removed: We manage our] supplier base carefully to avoid or minimize customer issues.

Rewritten

[added: Accordingly, our future performance depends in part on our ability to continue to develop,] manufacture and provide innovative products and services and bring those offerings to market quickly at cost-effective prices.

Rewritten

We have made and expect to continue to make investments, including acquisitions and joint ventures, that involve risks and uncertainties. When evaluating potential acquisitions and joint ventures, we make judgments regarding the value of business opportunities, [removed: technologies,] [added: technologies] and other [removed: assets] [added: assets,] and the risks and costs of potential liabilities based on information available to us at the time of the transaction.

Rewritten

Whether we realize the anticipated benefits from these transactions depends on multiple factors, including our integration of the businesses involved; the performance of the underlying products, [removed: capabilities] [added: capabilities,] or technologies; market conditions following the acquisition; and acquired liabilities, including some that may not have been identified prior to the acquisition.

Rewritten

[removed: Goodwill is subject to an] [added: We review goodwill for] impairment [removed: test on an annual basis] [added: annually at each of our reporting units] or when circumstances indicate that the likelihood of an impairment is greater than 50%.

Rewritten

Our business could be negatively impacted by cybersecurity events and other disruptions. We face various cybersecurity threats, including threats to our IT infrastructure and attempts to gain [added: unauthorized] access to our proprietary or classified information, denial-of-service attacks, as well as threats to the physical security of our facilities and employees, and threats from terrorist acts.

Rewritten

Accordingly, we maintain information security staff, policies and procedures for managing risk to our information [removed: systems, and] [added: systems; we] conduct employee training on cybersecurity to mitigate persistent and continuously evolving cybersecurity [removed: threats.][added: threats; and we report cybersecurity events or losses of customer data to affected customers and applicable regulatory authorities.]

Rewritten

However, there can be no assurance that any such [removed: actions] [added: actions, or the safeguards put in place by our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and other parties on which we rely,] will be sufficient to [added: detect,] prevent [added: and mitigate] cybersecurity [removed: breaches,] [added: breaches or] disruptions, [added: or the] unauthorized release of sensitive information or corruption of data.

Rewritten

We have experienced cybersecurity [removed: threats] [added: events and disruptions] such as viruses and attacks targeting our IT systems.

Rewritten

[removed: Due to the evolving nature of these security] threats, the potential impact of any future incident cannot be predicted.

Rewritten

Effects include disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work effectively, [removed: as well as] temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our [removed: customers or suppliers,] [added: customers, and supply-chain disruptions,] which [removed: can] [added: could] affect our ability to perform on our contracts.

Rewritten

[removed: Resulting] [added: Any] cost increases [added: that result from these effects] may not be fully recoverable on our contracts or adequately covered by insurance, which could impact our profitability.

Rewritten

The imposition of quarantine and travel restrictions has [added: negatively] affected [removed: and] [added: and, if reimposed,] may [added: continue to negatively affect portions of our business, particularly our Aerospace and Technologies segments.]

Rewritten

Such developments may include the geographic spread and duration of the virus, [added: including] the [added: emergence of new variants, the] severity of the [removed: disease] [added: disease, vaccination rates] and the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the pandemic.

Rewritten

[removed: Therefore, actual future results and trends] may differ materially from what is forecast in forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in this Form 10-K.

In addition, the U.S. government’s federal contractor vaccine mandate could adversely affect our ability, and our subcontractors’ ability, to hire and retain highly skilled employees to work on U.S. government programs.

New in FY2021

Increased regulation related to global climate change could negatively affect our business. Increased public awareness and concern regarding global climate change may result in state, federal or international requirements to reduce or mitigate global warming, such as the imposition of carbon pricing mechanisms or stricter limits on greenhouse gas emissions.

New in FY2021

If environmental or climate-change laws or regulations are adopted or changed that impose significant new costs, operational restrictions or compliance requirements upon our business or our products, they could increase our capital expenditures, reduce our margins and adversely affect our financial position.

Rewritten

In the Aerospace segment, we record revenue on contracts for new aircraft when the customer obtains control of the asset, which is generally upon delivery and acceptance by the customer of the fully [removed: outfitted aircraft.]

Rewritten

Additional factors affecting the segment’s earnings and margin include the volume, mix and profitability of completions and services work performed, the [removed: volume of and] market for pre-owned aircraft, and the level of general and administrative (G&A) and net research and development (R&D) costs incurred by the segment.

Rewritten

Revenue from U.S. Navy ship construction [removed: and engineering work] was up [added: across our shipyards] in [removed: 2020] [added: 2021] due to increased volume on the Columbia-class submarine [added: program, the John Lewis-class (T-AO-205) fleet replenishment oiler program and the Arleigh Burke-class (DDG-51) destroyer] program.

New in FY2021

Consistent with our prioritization of the health and safety of our employees, we continue to encourage and promote vaccination across the company.

New in FY2021

For additional information, see the Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A.

New in FY2021

On September 9, 2021, the president signed Executive Order 14042, initiating a process whereby covered federal contractors and subcontractors must implement federally required vaccine mandates.

New in FY2021

A clause implementing the federal contractor vaccine mandate has been incorporated into a number of our federal contracts.

New in FY2021

In light of certain court orders, however, the Office of Management and Budget has stated that the U.S. government will not take action to enforce this clause until further notice.

New in FY2021

If ultimately upheld, this federal contract requirement may affect various business units differently.

New in FY2021

We are working closely with our customer to ensure that we minimize disruptions and potential employee attrition in the event that applicable contract modifications are enforceable and as additional modifications are received that could trigger implementation.

New in FY2021

To the extent that we or our subcontractors experience employee attrition and/or work stoppages, our costs could increase, schedules could slip on affected programs and our ability to perform under some contracts could be negatively affected, particularly in those instances where we cannot receive cost reimbursement.

New in FY2021

Our Aerospace segment’s operating results have experienced the most significant impact from the pandemic.

New in FY2021

New aircraft deliveries in 2021 reflected our decision in 2020 to reduce production rates to accommodate supply chain challenges and reduced demand due to the pandemic.

New in FY2021

However, aircraft demand has been strong in 2021, with orders reaching their highest level in over a decade.

New in FY2021

Similarly, demand for aircraft services has improved as air travel has increased, but remains below pre-pandemic levels in some regions of the world.

New in FY2021

Our U.S. government business continues to experience some disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in our Technologies segment.

New in FY2021

The Congress has not yet passed a defense appropriations bill for the government’s fiscal year (FY) 2022 despite the fact that the new year began on October 1, 2021.

New in FY2021

However, on December 3, 2021, a continuing resolution (CR) was signed into law, providing funding for federal agencies through February 18, 2022.

New in FY2021

When the government operates under a CR, all programs of record are funded at the prior year’s appropriated levels, and the Department of Defense (DoD) is prohibited from starting new programs.

New in FY2021

While this could result in delayed revenue growth as programs that were expected to have increased funding levels continue to operate at the prior-year levels until the current-year appropriations bill is passed, we do not anticipate that the current CR, or any subsequent extensions, will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

New in FY2021

OTHER LEGISLATIVE ACTIVITY

New in FY2021

In November 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Build Back Better Act (BBBA), which provides for changes to U.S. corporate income taxation.

New in FY2021

BBBA would delay until 2026 the requirement to capitalize and amortize over five years certain research and experimental expenditures beginning in 2022 that were previously deductible immediately.

New in FY2021

We cannot determine whether some or all of the proposals that were included in BBBA will be enacted into law or what, if any, change may be made to such proposals prior to enactment.

New in FY2021

If the requirement to capitalize and amortize research and experimental expenditures were delayed via passage of BBBA or other legislation, it would delay the temporary increase in our tax payments otherwise beginning in 2022 that would be caused by the capitalization requirement.

New in FY2021

Our consolidated revenue increased in 2021 driven by growth in U.S. Navy ship construction in our Marine Systems segment.

New in FY2021

Higher aircraft services activity was offset by a planned reduction in aircraft deliveries in our Aerospace segment.

New in FY2021

Lower C5ISR solutions revenue was offset partially by increased IT services activity in our Technologies segment and international vehicle revenue in our Combat Systems segment.

Dropped from FY2020

In the United States, the adoption of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) provides various forms of relief.

Dropped from FY2020

The CARES Act includes provisions that allow agencies to reimburse contractors for payments to covered workers who are prevented from working due to COVID-19 facility closures or other restrictions; however, such reimbursement is subject to the availability of funds.

Dropped from FY2020

These provisions of the CARES Act have been extended through March 31, 2021.

Dropped from FY2020

The CARES Act also allows for loans to companies.

Dropped from FY2020

To date, we have not sought or accepted CARES Act loans.

provide liquidity to federal contractors and their suppliers.

Dropped from FY2020

We in turn advanced payments across our supplier base to help maintain the health and liquidity of our supply chain.

Dropped from FY2020

Outside of the United States, other governments have established various government workforce programs, which can support business continuity for our foreign operations.

Dropped from FY2020

We continue to assess the benefits and limitations of the actions taken by the United States and other governments.

Dropped from FY2020

Our U.S. government business experienced some disruption from the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced activities due to select customer site closures and limited access to some customer sites, travel restrictions, slowdowns in the provision of materials from suppliers, and lower man-hours at some manufacturing sites.

Dropped from FY2020

Internationally, while government actions shut down some of our facilities in the second quarter, our defense business has largely returned to normal operations.

Dropped from FY2020

Within our Aerospace segment, pandemic-related travel limitations resulted in lower demand for aircraft services due to reduced flight activity, and disrupted the aircraft sales process by limiting our ability to arrange demonstration flights and coordinate in-person access to customers.

Dropped from FY2020

To de-risk elements of the supply chain and better align production with demand, we have reduced our aircraft production rate until such time that the marketplace supports future increases.

Dropped from FY2020

Accordingly, we have adjusted staffing levels and taken other cost control measures.

Dropped from FY2020

We expect COVID-19 to continue to negatively impact our businesses, particularly Aerospace, until the large economies of the world recover from the effects of the pandemic.

Dropped from FY2020

As air travel resumes, we expect aircraft services volume to increase, but we could see some future aircraft deliveries delayed to the extent customers have difficulty traveling to take possession of their aircraft.

Dropped from FY2020

In addition, should the global economy experience a significant extended downturn from the pandemic, demand for our aerospace products and services would likely be impacted.

Dropped from FY2020

We believe the support by the DoD, and the U.S. government generally, of the defense industrial base has helped and will continue to help mitigate the effects of disruptions on our U.S. defense business.

Dropped from FY2020

Our non-U.S. defense business will be impacted to varying degrees based on the response of the countries in which they operate.

Dropped from FY2020

We will continue to assess further potential consequences to our employees, business, supply chain and customers, and take actions to mitigate adverse outcomes.

Dropped from FY2020

We took actions in 2020 to strengthen our liquidity and financial condition.

Dropped from FY2020

In addition to this long-term borrowing, we renewed our access to $5 billion of credit facilities.

Dropped from FY2020

While part of our pre-COVID-19 planning, this liquidity preserves our financial flexibility during the pandemic.

Dropped from FY2020

We believe that our cash flows from operations and borrowing capacity are sufficient to support our short- and long-term liquidity needs.

Dropped from FY2020

On December 27, 2020, the fiscal year (FY) 2021 defense appropriations bill was signed into law.

Dropped from FY2020

It totaled $696 billion, a modest increase over FY 2020, and included $627 billion in the base budget in compliance with the previously established spending caps and $69 billion for overseas contingency operations.
