The market for sales to U.S. Government customers is highly competitive and the U.S. Government may choose [added: to use other contractors as part of competitive bidding processes or otherwise.]
[added: The U.S. Government has] increasingly relied on certain types of contracts that are subject to multiple competitive bidding processes, including [added: multi-vendor indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (“IDIQ”), government-wide acquisition contracts, General]
Services Administration Schedules and other multi-award contracts, which has resulted in greater competition and [added: increased pricing pressure.]
We may not be able to continue to win competitively awarded contracts or to obtain task orders under [removed: multi-][added: multi-award contracts, especially with increased competition.]
[added: Additionally, bid protests from unsuccessful bidders can result in] significant expense or delay, contract modification or contract rescission as a result of our competitors protesting or [added: challenging contracts awarded to us.]

Although multi-year contracts may be authorized and appropriated in connection with major procurements, [added: Congress generally appropriates funds on a U.S. Government fiscal year (“GFY”) basis.]
[added: Procurement funds are] typically disbursed over the course of one to three years.
Consequently, programs often initially receive only partial [added: funding, and additional funds are obligated only as Congress authorizes further appropriations.]
We cannot predict the extent to which total funding and/or funding for individual programs will be changed as [added: part of the annual appropriations process ultimately approved by Congress and the President or in separate supplemental appropriations or continuing resolutions, as applicable.]

[added: A change in U.S. Government spending priorities or an increase in non-procurement spending at the] expense of our programs, or a reduction in total U.S. Government spending on an absolute or inflation-adjusted [added: basis, could have material adverse consequences on our current or future business.]
[added: Any inability of the U.S. Government to complete its budget process] for any GFY and resulting operation on funding levels equivalent to its prior fiscal year pursuant to a Continuing [added: Resolution (“CR”) or shut down, also could have material adverse consequences on our current or future business.]

*Our results of operations and cash flows are substantially affected by our [removed: mix of fixed-price, cost-type and*][added: contract mix.]
If our initial estimates are incorrect, we can lose money (or make more or less money than [added: estimated) on these contracts.]
[added: Fixed-price U.S. Government contracts can expose us to potentially large losses] because the U.S. Government can hold us responsible for completing a project or, in limited circumstances, paying [added: the entire cost of its replacement by another provider.]
Contracts for development programs include complex design and technical requirements and are generally [added: contracted on a cost-type basis, however, some existing development programs are contracted on a fixed-price basis or include cost-type contracting for the development phase with fixed-price production options.]
[added: Furthermore, if we do not meet contract deadlines or] specifications, we may need to renegotiate contracts on less favorable terms, be forced to pay penalties or [added: liquidated damages or suffer losses if the customer exercises its right to terminate.]
provisions relating to cost controls and audit rights, and if we fail to meet the terms specified in those contracts, we [added: may not realize their full benefits.]
[removed: *for] [added: Because a significant portion of our revenue is dependent on our performance and payment under our government contracts, the loss of] one or more [removed: of our] [added: large] contracts could have [removed: an] [added: a significant] adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results [removed: of*][added: of operations, cash flows and equity.]
[added: Any costs found to be improperly allocated to a] specific contract will not be reimbursed, and such costs already reimbursed must be refunded.
[added: We have recorded] contract revenue based on costs we expect to realize upon final audit.
[added: However, we do not know the outcome of any] future audits and adjustments, and we may be required to materially reduce our revenue or profits upon completion [added: and final negotiation of audits.]
Negative audit findings could also result in termination of a contract, forfeiture of [added: profits, suspension of payments, fines or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time.]
In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally contain provisions permitting termination, in whole or in part, [added: without prior notice at the U.S. Government’s convenience upon payment only for work done and commitments made at the time of termination.]
For some contracts, we are a subcontractor and the U.S. Government could [added: terminate the prime contractor for convenience without regard for our performance as a subcontractor.]
[added: We may be] unable to secure new contracts to offset revenue or [added: contractual] backlog lost as a result of any termination of our [added: U.S. Government contracts.]
From time to time, we may begin performance of a U.S. Government contract under an undefinitized contract [added: action with a not-to-exceed price before the terms, specifications or price are agreed to between the parties.]
[added: In] these arrangements, the U.S. Government has the ability to unilaterally definitize the contract if a mutual agreement [added: regarding terms, specifications and price cannot be reached.]
These costs might increase in the future, [added: particularly for certain international markets and customers,] thereby reducing our [removed: margins, which][added: margins.]
[added: A significant judgment or arbitration award against us arising out of any of our current or future litigation or arbitration matters] could have [removed: an] [added: a material] adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
Failure to comply with applicable regulations and requirements could lead to fines, penalties, repayments or [added: compensatory or treble damages, or suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting or subcontracting for a period of time.]
The termination of a U.S. Government contract or relationship [added: in particular] as a result of any of these acts [added: would have an adverse impact on our operations and could have an adverse effect on our standing and eligibility for future U.S. Government contracts.]
As a result of that uncertainty, it is difficult to develop accurate estimates of the level of [added: growth in the markets we serve.]
forecasting, our estimates or guidance for future revenue, income and expenditures may be inaccurate, and we may [added: make significant investments and expenditures but never realize the anticipated benefits.]
[added: Uncertainty in financial and insurance markets may significantly] increase the political, economic and social instability in the geographic areas in which we [removed: operate.][added: operate which could further impact demand.]
Our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity are subject to, and could be materially adversely affected by, various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or our anticipated future results.
_____________________________________________________________________5
The DoW’s current procurement reform initiative, including the increased use of other transaction authority (“OTA”) agreements, could reduce barriers to entry and result in even greater competition and increased pricing pressure.
OTAs are not subject to many traditional procurement laws, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and in some instances, an OTA award may require that a significant part of the work be carried out by a non-traditional defense contractor or that a portion of the prototype project's costs be covered by non-governmental sources.
Some of our competitors, including non-traditional new entrants to defense-related programs, have greater financial resources than we do and may have more extensive or more specialized engineering, manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas.
We may choose not to bid in certain competitive bidding processes, which would result in the potential loss of opportunities, or we may choose to partner with competitors, which could expose our business to additional factors beyond our control.
*A reduction in U.S. Government funding or a change in U.S. Government spending priorities could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.* Our U.S. Government programs must compete with programs managed by other government contractors and with other policy imperatives for consideration for limited resources and for uncertain levels of funding during the budget and appropriations process.
This uncertainty could be exacerbated by procurement reform initiatives that could result in more frequent changes to program funding, scope, or priorities, increasing the risk of contract modifications, terminations, or delays, and making it more difficult to forecast revenue and resource needs.
Fixed-price contracts, particularly for development programs, could subject us to losses from cost overruns or inflation.* In fiscal 2025, 75% of our revenue was derived from fixed-price contracts that allow us to benefit from cost savings, but subject us to the risk of potential cost overruns, including due to greater than anticipated or a sustained period of increased inflation or unexpected delays because we assume all of the cost burden.
Because many of these contracts involve new technologies and applications and can last for years, unforeseen events, such as technological difficulties, increases in the price of materials, a significant increase in or a sustained period of increased inflation, problems with our suppliers, labor market conditions and cost overruns, can result in less favorable economics or even losses over time (which, especially in the case of sharp and significant sustained inflation, could happen quickly and have long lasting impacts).
_____________________________________________________________________6
Cost overruns would adversely impact our results of operations, which are dependent on our ability to maximize our earnings from our contracts, and the potential risk would be greater if our contracts shifted toward a greater percentage of fixed-price contracts, particularly firm fixed-price contracts, as opposed to cost-type and time-and-material contracts.
To the extent feasible, we have consistently followed the practice of contractually adjusting our prices to reflect the impact of inflation on salaries and fringe benefits for employees and the cost of purchased materials and services and in some cases seeking the inclusion of adjustment clauses to incorporate certain cost adjustments in fixed-price contracts for unexpected inflation.
However, we may not be successful in accurately accounting for all increased costs, and our fixed-price contracts could subject us to losses in the event of cost overruns or a significant increase in or a sustained period of increased inflation if we are unable to account for and receive cost adjustments in our fixed-price contracts.
*The application or impact of negative audit findings, contract termination, unilateral government action, or regulation on our government contracts could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.* U.S. Government contracts are generally subject to U.S. Government oversight audits, which could result in adjustments to our contract costs.
Our business with government customers is also subject to a variety of procurement regulations and a variety of socioeconomic, environmental and other requirements that increase our operational and compliance costs, including governmental action through Executive Orders.
*We participate in markets that are often subject to uncertain economic conditions, which makes it difficult to estimate growth in our markets and, as a result, future income and expenditures.* We participate in U.S. and international markets that are subject to uncertain economic conditions which could experience increasing price sensitivity due to economic conditions or seek solutions which could adversely affect demand for our products, systems, services or technologies.
_____________________________________________________________________7
*We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may adversely affect the markets in which we operate, our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability.* Ongoing instability and current conflicts in global markets, including in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and the potential for other conflicts and future terrorist activities and geo-political events throughout the world have created and may continue to create economic and political uncertainties and impacts that could have a material adverse effect on our business, operations and profitability.
Geo-political events and changes in foreign policy could cause isolationism or increased implementation of local solutions by international customers, which could adversely affect demand for our products, systems, services or technologies.
*We are subject to government investigations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.* U.S. Government contractors are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), and U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”).
Under U.S. Government regulations, an indictment of L3Harris by a federal grand jury, or an administrative finding against us as to our present responsibility to be a U.S. Government contractor or subcontractor, could result in us being suspended for a period of time from eligibility for awards of new government contracts or task orders or in a loss of export privileges, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
A conviction, or an administrative finding against us that satisfies the requisite level of seriousness, could result in civil and/or criminal penalties, including fines, seizure of our products and debarment from contracting with the U.S. Government for a specific term, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and equity.
_____________________________________________________________________8
*We depend on our subcontractors and suppliers, and failures in or disruptions to our supply chain could cause our products and or services to be produced or delivered in an untimely or unsatisfactory manner.* Our ability to manufacture and deliver products and services to our customers requires our U.S. and non-U.S. subcontractors and suppliers to provide a variety of materials, components, subsystems and services.
Legislation, regulatory changes or other governmental actions, including product certification or stewardship requirements, sourcing restrictions, tariffs, export controls, embargoes, product authenticity, cybersecurity regulation, and environmental standards may all impact our subcontractors and suppliers.
For example, some materials and components in our supply chain have previously been sourced from areas now under sanctions or other trade restrictions, such as specialty metals from Russia and certain equipment from China, or are currently sourced from areas which are at risk of sanctions or other trade restrictive actions, not just by the United States but by other nations or groups, such as the European Union.
Any supply chain disruption could result in delayed deliveries, increased costs, loss of customers, contractual penalties or damages, claims or litigation, regulatory investigations or actions, loss of future business opportunities, or reputational harm, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operational results, financial condition and cash flow.
*Changes in trade policies, including tariffs, could cause adverse impacts to our business.* Beginning in first quarter 2025, we observed a significant shift in U.S. trade policy, with increased tariffs and the imposition of new tariffs that could impact our supply chain and our business.
While certain of such tariffs have been paused, ultimately trade policy decisions are outside of our control and may have consequences for our business.
Changes in trade policies, such as new tariffs or increases in tariffs, or reactionary measures including retaliatory tariffs, legal challenges, or currency manipulation, could adversely impact us.
Even though we primarily sell our products and services to U.S. Government customers and our suppliers are primarily domestic, we still rely on imported materials, components, or finished goods, and if tariffs increase, our supply chain costs may rise, adversely affecting our business, results of operations and cash flows.
We also operate a business in Canada that supports both domestic and international programs.
If we are not granted exemptions from tariffs due to the nature of our business and customers, we could see greater impacts than we currently expect, especially as it relates to tariffs between the U.S. and Canada.
Additionally, retaliatory measures, or prolonged uncertainty in trade relationships could result in supply chain disruptions, delayed shipments, or increased operational complexity, which could also adversely affect our business, results of operations and cash flows.
While we intend to take steps to mitigate any impacts of tariffs or other impacts resulting from changes in trade policy, our ability to do so may be limited by operational and supply chain constraints, especially in the short term.
_____________________________________________________________________9
*We must attract and retain key employees, and any failure to do so could harm us.* Our future success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our management and our ability to attract and retain highly-qualified management and technical personnel, including engineers and employees who have, or can obtain, U.S. Government security clearances, particularly clearances of top secret and above.
As a government contractor with access to national security or other sensitive government information, we face a heightened risk of a security breach or disruption from threats to gain unauthorized access to our and our customers’ proprietary information on our IT networks and related systems, our classified networks, and to the IT networks and related systems that we operate, maintain and secure for certain of our customers.
Even the most well-protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because attempted security breaches, particularly cyber-attacks and cyber intrusions, or disruptions will occur in the future, and because the techniques used in such attempts are constantly evolving and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected.

Revenue is disaggregated at the segment level into categories that the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) believes best depict the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows.
These categories do not distinguish between product and service revenue because management evaluates the business on a combined, consolidated revenue and cost of revenue basis.
The CODM, as well as segment management, are not provided with and do not review revenue or cost of revenue disaggregated between products and services at the segment or sector level; accordingly, this information is not used in resource allocation decisions.
Accordingly, and because we do not believe such disaggregation assists in an understanding of our financial condition and results of operations, product and service revenue and the related cost of revenue are not disaggregated herein.
On March 15, 2025, the President signed into law a full-year CR for GFY 2025, funding the government through September 30, 2025, with $893 billion for defense funding, including $851 billion for the DoW.
This was in line with the 1% increase permitted by the caps under the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 for GFY 2025.
Notably, the CR provided funding at the account level, not the program level, allowing federal agencies more discretion with how they prioritize funding for programs.
On May 2, 2025, the White House released a preliminary GFY 2026 budget that included a flat national defense topline of $893 billion (including $849 billion for DoW) and included an additional $119 billion from reconciliation funding in 2026 for a total of approximately $1 trillion.
The administration requested $557 billion for non-defense funding, down from $721 billion in GFY 2025, resulting in material funding declines for some agencies, including a $6 billion cut to NASA.
On July 4, 2025, the President signed Congress’ reconciliation package which included $155 billion for national defense spending to fund DoW priorities, including priorities closely aligned with L3Harris interests and opportunities, such as Golden Dome, munitions, and shipbuilding, $165 billion for Department of Homeland Security priorities, $12.5 billion for the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) for air traffic control modernization efforts and $10 billion for NASA.
The administration has stated that it expects departments and agencies will be able to access significant amounts of this additional funding in GFY 2026, specifically noting the expectation that the DoW will access $113 billion in GFY 2026.
The reconciliation package also raises the debt ceiling by $5 trillion and enacts key changes to the federal tax code, further discussed under the “U.S. Federal Tax Reform” heading below.
On October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to reach an agreement on a short-term spending deal or full-year appropriation, the federal government experienced its longest shutdown on record, lasting 43 days.
It was resolved with a CR lasting until January 30th for agencies that did not yet have full-year appropriations.
The Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill, which provides funding for NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”), was signed into law on January 23, 2026.
The bill provides $6 billion above the Administration’s GFY 2026 budget request for NASA and rejects the proposed termination of the Space Launch System (“SLS”) and Orion following the Artemis III mission and directs the inclusion of an SLS-based option in any competition for future Artemis launch services.
The bill also provides $6 billion for NOAA, an increase of more than $1.5 billion above the Administration’s GFY 2026 request.
The final GFY 2027 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”) was signed into law in December 2025.
The NDAA provides authorization of appropriations for the DoW, nuclear weapons programs of the Department of Energy, and other defense-related activities.
In addition to serving as an authorization of appropriations, the NDAA establishes defense policies and restrictions, and addresses organizational administrative matters related to the DoW.
Congress passed the Defense Appropriations bill on February 3, 2026, providing $859 billion for DoW programs, an increase of 1% or ~$9 billion over the President’s Budget Request.
In addition, Congress provided just over $22 billion for the FAA via the Transportation-Housing and Urban Development bill, more than $1 billion above the GFY 2025 enacted level.
This includes $4 billion in resources for facilities and equipment, nearly $1 billion more than the prior year.

Internationally, almost all NATO allies have committed to spend 5% of GDP annually over the next decade on defense and security-related expenditures, with 3.5% on core defense articles and another 1.5% on critical infrastructure, cyber and other key areas.

U.S. Federal Tax Reform
In third quarter 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was enacted, introducing amendments to the U.S. federal income tax code, including permanent reinstatement of immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures, a reduction in the benefit of the R&D credit, restoration of full expensing for qualified machinery, equipment and other short-lived assets, and several modifications to existing international tax provisions.
Certain provisions are effective for 2025, the effects of which have been recognized in third quarter 2025 and are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes.
Certain other provisions are effective in future fiscal years.
The ongoing uncertainty related to the impacts of inflation, as well as the interest rate environment and ongoing federal deficits could in the future impact U.S. Government spending priorities for our products and services.
We continue to monitor and evaluate the potential impact of current and proposed changes in trade policies and in particular, tariffs.
In response to enacted tariffs, we are seeking exemptions, evaluating alternative sources of materials and subcontracted components, as well as engaging in supplier negotiations to help manage cost impacts and are considering price adjustments and other strategies to support profitability.
Our products are used across many customer platforms and this platform-agnostic approach gives us a unique advantage in rapidly adapting to the changing threat environment while effectively partnering with new entrants and non-traditional contractors.
In fiscal 2025, we continued to make progress with our LHX NeXt initiative, our targeted program designed to enhance organizational agility and performance by leveraging our scale and relationships across segments, driving operational efficiency and competitiveness for the enterprise.
Beginning fiscal 2026, LHX NeXt will be fully integrated within our operations as standard practice, with ongoing cost savings measured as operational improvement, which we refer to as e3 (excellence, everywhere, everyday).

On March 9, 2024, the President signed the first tranche of GFY 2024 appropriations funding bills into law,
which funded six government agencies, including the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Federal Aviation Administration, through the remainder of GFY
2024 which ended on September 30, 2024.
A second funding bill, signed into law on March 23, 2024, funded all
remaining agencies, including the DoD, through the remainder of GFY 2024.
The bill provided approximately
$844 billion in funding for DoD.
This was in line with our expectations for 3% growth for defense over GFY 2023
levels and in line with the first year of the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (“FRA”) caps.
On March 11, 2024, the President’s Budget Request for GFY 2025 was released.
The DoD requested
$850 billion, a 1% topline increase consistent with the FRA caps.
On April 24, 2024, the President signed into law a supplemental GFY 2024 appropriations package that included
$67 billion in funding for key DoD programs, bringing the DoD funding for GFY 2024 to $911 billion.
Congress has not yet reached a final agreement on GFY 2025 funding.
A short-term CR was enacted on
December 21, 2024 that will fund the U.S. Government until March 14, 2025.

*Airborne Combat Systems:* Sensors, processors, hardened electronics, unmanned aircraft systems, precision weapons, infrared search and tracking, distributed aperture systems and precision pointing, weapons release systems; antennas for aircraft platforms; and threat warning and countermeasures for airborne, ground and maritime platforms.
*Aerojet Rocketdyne (“AR”).* Provides propulsion, power and armament products and systems to U.S. Government, including the DoW, National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA") and major aerospace and defense prime contractors in the following business sectors:
In fiscal 2025, revenue where the end consumer is located outside the U.S., including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, whether directly or through prime contractors, was $4.8 billion (22% of our revenue) and came from over 100 countries with no single foreign country accounting for more than 5% of our total revenue.
_____________________________________________________________________2
As of the end of fiscal 2025, our contractual backlog was $38.7 billion.
*Government Contracts.* In fiscal 2025, the percentage of our revenue that was derived from sales to U.S. Government customers, whether directly or through prime contractors, including foreign military sales funded through the U.S. Government, was 75% and no other customer accounted for more than 5% of our revenue.
*Cost-type contracts.* Our U.S. Government cost-type contracts provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus payment of a fee and fall into three basic types: (i) cost-plus fixed-fee contracts, which provide for payment of a fixed fee irrespective of the final cost of performance; (ii) cost-plus incentive-fee contracts, which provide for payment of a fee that may increase or decrease, within specified limits, based on actual results compared with contractual targets relating to factors such as cost, performance and delivery schedule; and (iii) cost-plus award-fee contracts, which provide for payment of an award fee determined at the customer’s discretion based on our performance against pre-established performance criteria.
_____________________________________________________________________3
Acquisition Reform
We are pursuing our Trusted Disruptor strategy against the backdrop of acquisition reform, prioritizing engaging with our customers and delivering the innovation, agility and affordability our customers demand from the defense industrial base.
Recent reforms to the U.S. Government’s acquisition strategy, including the transformation of the Defense Acquisition System into the Warfighting Acquisition System, are fundamentally shifting procurement priorities toward speed, flexibility, and mission outcomes.
Under this new approach, the DoW is streamlining contracting processes, delegating greater authority to empowered portfolio acquisition executives, and increasing the use of commercial solutions and alternative contracting methods to accelerate the delivery of urgently needed capabilities.
These changes are designed to expand competition, incentivize private investment, and enhance supply chain resilience, which may result in new opportunities and requirements for defense contractors, as well as increased emphasis on rapid innovation and responsiveness in fulfilling government contracts.
Of our total employees, 90% were located in the U.S. As of January 2, 2026, approximately 2,600, or 6%, of our U.S. employees were covered by various collective bargaining agreements, which we expect will be renegotiated as they expire, as we historically have done without significant disruption to operating activities.

[added: We are a public accounting firm registered with] the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal [added: securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.]
[added: Those standards require that we plan and] perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material [added: misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.]
[added: Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of] material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that [added: respond to those risks.]
Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and [added: disclosures in the financial statements.]
Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and [added: significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.]
Critical Audit [removed: Matters][added: Matter]
[added: The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to] accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, [added: subjective or complex judgments.]
[added: The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion] on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit [added: matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates.]
| | [added: | |] Cost estimation for revenue recognition on development and production contracts | [added: | |]
| *Description of the Matter* | [added: | |] As described in the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized revenue for certain of its development and production contracts over time, typically using a percentage of completion cost-to-cost method, which required estimates of costs at completion for each contract. At the outset of each contract, the Company gauges its complexity and perceived risks and establishes an estimated total cost at completion with these expectations. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, the Company reviews the progress and performance on its ongoing contracts at least quarterly and updates the estimated total cost at completion. Such estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and significant changes in estimates could have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations. Auditing the cost estimation for revenue recognition on development and production contracts where revenue is recognized over time using the percentage of completion [removed: cost- to-cost] [added: cost-to-cost] method involved subjective auditor judgment because the Company’s development of the estimated total cost at completion requires estimates of the cost of the work to be completed based on the Company’s underlying assumptions around achieving the technical, schedule and cost aspects of its contracts. In determining the estimates of the cost of the work to be completed, the Company considered the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Estimates of total cost at completion are also affected by management’s assessment of the current status of the contract and expectation for performance on the contract, as well as historical experience. | [added: | |]
| *How We Addressed [removed: the* *Matter] [added: the Matter] in Our Audit* | [added: | |] We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company’s accounting for cost estimation for development and production contracts. For example, we tested certain controls over management’s review of the estimate at completion analyses and the significant assumptions underlying the estimated total costs at completion. We also tested certain of management’s controls to validate that the data used in the estimate at completion analyses was complete and accurate. To test the cost estimation for development and production contracts, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining an understanding of the contract, meeting with program management to confirm our understanding of the risks associated with the arrangement and the current contract performance, review of customer correspondence and contractual milestones and comparing cost estimates to historical cost experience with similar contracts, when applicable. Additionally, we obtained an understanding of the Company’s past performance of estimating total costs at completion by reviewing changes in the cost estimates from previous periods and reviewing the overall accuracy of management’s cost to completion estimations through lookback analyses. | [added: | |]

| | Valuation of Goodwill |
| *Description of the Matter* | At January 3, 2025, the Company’s goodwill was $20.3 billion. As more fully described in the consolidated financial statements, the Company tests goodwill for impairment annually (or under certain circumstances, more frequently) at the reporting unit level using either a qualitative or quantitative assessment. Under the quantitative assessment to test for goodwill impairment, the Company compares the fair value of a reporting unit to its carrying amount, including goodwill. The Company estimates the fair value of its reporting units using a combination of a discounted cash flows analysis and market-based valuation methodologies. Auditing the Company’s quantitative goodwill impairment tests involved subjective auditor judgment due to the significant estimation required in management’s determination of the fair value of the reporting units. The significant estimation is primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective fair values to underlying assumptions, particularly at the Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR) reporting unit, including changes in the weighted average cost of capital and projected EBITDA margins. These assumptions relate to the expected future operating performance of the Company’s AR reporting unit, are forward-looking, and are sensitive to and affected by economic, industry and company-specific qualitative factors. |
| *How We Addressed the* *Matter in Our Audit* | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of relevant internal controls over the Company’s goodwill impairment review process, including controls over management’s review of the significant assumptions used in the valuation models. We also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the valuation models was complete and accurate. To test the estimated fair value of the Company’s AR reporting unit, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the valuation methodologies used by the Company, involving our valuation specialists to assist in testing the significant assumptions discussed above, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data the Company used in its valuation analyses. For example, we compared the significant assumptions used by management to current industry, market and economic trends, the historical results of the AR reporting unit and other relevant factors. We also assessed the historical accuracy of management’s valuation estimates and performed sensitivity analyses of significant assumptions used in the impairment tests to evaluate the change in the fair value of the AR reporting unit resulting from changes in the significant assumptions. In addition, we reviewed the reconciliation of the fair value of the reporting units based on the annual impairment test to the market capitalization of the Company. |

A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
