See accompanying Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 5 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 (UNAUDITED) Note 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Lockheed Martin Corporation (the Corporation) has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the consolidated financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 1997 in its 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the interim financial information provided herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 1997 presentation. Note 2 - TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION On July 3, 1997, the Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop Grumman) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) to combine the companies in a transaction with a total estimated value of approximately $11.6 billion, including Northrop Grumman debt to be assumed by the Corporation of approximately $3.1 billion (the Merger). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of the Corporation and Northrop Grumman, Northrop Grumman stockholders will receive 1.1923 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock for each share of Northrop Grumman common stock. The consummation of the Merger is subject to, among other things, the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of the issuance of Lockheed Martin common stock, the approval of the Merger by stockholders of Northrop Grumman, and certain regulatory approvals. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 1998, will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Note 3 - TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY On November 3, 1997, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement with General Electric Company (GE) under which the Corporation will exchange the stock of a newly formed subsidiary, LMT Sub Inc. (LMT Sub), for all of the Lockheed Martin Series A preferred stock held by GE and certain subsidiaries of GE. The Series A preferred stock, which was issued to GE in connection with the acquisition of GE's aerospace businesses in 1993, is convertible into approximately 29 million shares of Lockheed Martin common stock with a market value of approximately $2.8 billion at the date of the announcement. In exchange for the Series A preferred stock, GE and such subsidiaries of GE will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of LMT Sub which will be composed of two non-core commercial business units, which contributed approximately 6% of the Corporation's net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Corporation's investment in a telecommunications partnership, and approximately $1.6 billion in cash, as calculated at the date of the announcement. The amount of cash to be included in the transaction is subject to change through the date of consummation based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership, and the results of operations of the business units included in the transaction. The cash included in the exchange is expected to be initially financed through short-term borrowings or the issuance of commercial paper and, soon after closing, is expected to be refinanced pursuant to a long-term note or notes from the Corporation to LMT Sub. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1997 subject to certain regulatory approvals, will be accounted for at fair value, and management anticipates recognition of a tax- free gain in excess of $300 million as calculated at the date of the announcement. The gain is subject to change through the date of consummation based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership. 6 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED) Note 4 - BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH LORAL CORPORATION In April 1996, the Corporation purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Loral Corporation (Loral) for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share in cash. The purchase involved a series of transactions that resulted in (i) the distribution to stockholders of Loral, immediately prior to the consummation of the purchase, of shares of capital stock in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. (Loral SpaceCom), a newly-formed company, which now owns and manages substantially all of Loral's former space and satellite telecommunications interests, and in which the Corporation acquired shares of preferred stock that were convertible into 20 percent of Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the date of acquisition, and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense electronics and systems integration businesses (collectively, the Loral Transaction). In connection with the Loral Transaction, Loral changed its name to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. (Tactical Systems), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The operations of Tactical Systems have been included in the results of operations of the Corporation from April 1, 1996. Effective June 30, 1997, Tactical Systems was merged with and into the Corporation. With regard to the Loral Transaction, the total purchase price paid, including acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. The Loral Transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Purchase accounting adjustments were recorded to allocate the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values at the date of acquisition.

Note 6 - CONTINGENCIES The Corporation or its subsidiaries are parties to or have property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment. In the opinion of management and counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the results of the Corporation's operations or its financial position. These matters include the following items: Environmental matters -- In 1991, the Corporation entered into a consent decree with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) relating to certain property in Burbank, California, which obligated the Corporation to design and construct facilities to monitor, extract, and treat groundwater, and to operate and maintain such facilities for approximately eight years. A second consent decree is being finalized which will obligate the Corporation to fund the continued operation and maintenance of these facilities through the year 2018. The Corporation estimates that expenditures required to comply with the consent decrees over their remaining terms will be approximately $110 million. 7 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED) The Corporation has also been operating under a cleanup and abatement order from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Regional Board) affecting its facilities in Burbank, California. This order requires site assessment and action to abate groundwater contamination by a combination of groundwater and soil cleanup and treatment. Based on experience derived from initial remediation activities, the Corporation estimates the anticipated costs of these actions in excess of the requirements under the EPA consent decree to approximate $70 million over the remaining term of the project. The Corporation is responding to three administrative orders issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board in connection with the Corporation's former Lockheed Propulsion Company facilities in Redlands, California. Under the orders, the Corporation is investigating the impact and potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by perchlorates and chlorinated solvents. The Regional Board has approved the Corporation's plan to maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated solvents during this work, and the Corporation is negotiating with local water purveyors to implement this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns relative to perchlorate contamination. The Corporation estimates that expenditures required to implement work currently approved will be approximately $110 million. In addition, the Corporation is involved in other proceedings and potential proceedings relating to environmental matters, including disposal of hazardous wastes and soil and water contamination. The extent of the Corporation's financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. A liability of approximately $260 million for those cases in which an estimate of financial exposure can be determined has been recorded. Under an agreement with the U.S. Government, the Burbank groundwater treatment and soil remediation expenditures referenced above are being allocated to the Corporation's operations as general and administrative costs and, under existing government regulations, these and other environmental expenditures related to U.S. Government business, after deducting any recoveries from insurance or other responsible parties, are allowable in establishing the prices of the Corporation's products and services. As a result, a substantial portion of the expenditures are being reflected in the Corporation's sales and cost of sales pursuant to U.S. Government agreement or regulation. The Corporation has recorded an asset for the portion of these costs that are probable of future recovery in pricing of the Corporation's products and services for U.S. Government business. The portion that is expected to be allocated to commercial business has been reflected in cost of sales. The recorded amounts do not reflect the possible future recovery of portions of the environmental costs through insurance policy coverage or from other potentially responsible parties, which the Corporation is pursuing as required by agreement and U.S. Government regulation. Any such recoveries, when received, would reduce the Corporation's liability as well as the allocated amounts to be included in the Corporation's U.S. Government sales and cost of sales. Waste remediation contract -- In 1994, the Corporation was awarded a $180 million fixed price contract by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the Phase II design, construction and limited test of remediation facilities, and the Phase III full remediation of waste found in Pit 9, located on the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory reservation. The Corporation has incurred significant unanticipated costs and scheduling issues due to complex technical and contractual matters which threaten the viability of the overall Pit 9 program. Management completed its investigation to identify and quantify the overall effects of these matters, and summarized its findings in a request for equitable adjustment (REA) which was delivered to the DOE on March 31, 1997. The provisions of the REA include, but are not limited to, the recovery of a portion of unanticipated costs incurred by the Corporation and the restructuring of the contract to provide for a more equitable sharing of the risks associated with the Pit 9 project. To date, the Corporation and the DOE have not reached any agreements on cost recovery or other contract restructuring matters. As a result, the Corporation has reduced work activities at the Pit 9 site, awaiting technical direction from the DOE. On September 22, 1997, the management and reporting structure of the Pit 9 program were changed in an effort to better focus the Corporation's management resources on resolving these issues. 8 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED) Note 7 - OTHER In March 1997, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement valued at approximately $525 million to reposition 10 non-core business units as a new independent company, L-3 Communications Corporation, in which the Corporation retained a 34.9% ownership interest at closing. These business units, primarily composed of high-technology, product-oriented companies, contributed approximately two percent of the Corporation's net sales during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The transaction, which closed on April 30, 1997 with an effective date of March 30, 1997, did not have a material impact on the Corporation's earnings. Concurrent with the announcement of this transaction in February 1997, the Corporation announced a new organizational structure which reassigned management responsibility for certain business units. As a result, the Corporation's operations were divided into five business segments. The operations of Tactical Systems are reflected in the Electronics, Information & Services, and Energy and Other segments. Commercial paper borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion were outstanding at September 30, 1997. Approximately $1.25 billion of these borrowings were classified as long-term debt in the Corporation's condensed consolidated balance sheet, based on management's ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one year. During the third quarter of 1996, the Corporation entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix the interest rates on $875 million of its commercial paper borrowings. Certain of these agreements related to $325 million of commercial paper borrowings matured in August 1997, with the remainder of the agreements scheduled to mature during the fourth quarter of 1997. The effects of these interest rate swap agreements are recorded periodically as an adjustment to interest expense related to commercial paper borrowings. The Corporation is exposed to the risk of nonperformance by the intermediaries to these agreements, though such nonperformance is not anticipated. The Corporation's total interest payments were $498 million and $372 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Corporation's federal and foreign income tax payments were $909 million and $756 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which establishes new standards for computing and disclosing earnings per share. The Statement requires dual presentation of "basic" and "diluted" earnings per share, each as defined therein, which replace primary and fully diluted earnings per share, respectively, required under current guidance. SFAS No. 128 is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption is not permitted; however, after the effective date, all prior period earnings per share data presented will be required to be restated to conform to the provisions of the new standard. Management does not currently anticipate that earnings per share computed under the new standard will differ materially from earnings per share computed and disclosed under current guidance. Effective January 1, 1997, the Corporation adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position (SOP) No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities." In addition to providing a nonauthoritative discussion of major federal legislation dealing with environmental matters, SOP No. 96-1 also provides authoritative guidance on certain accounting issues relative to the recognition, measurement, display and disclosure of environmental remediation liabilities. The impact of the adoption of this SOP was not material to the Corporation's consolidated results of operations, financial position or disclosures. 9 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) (UNAUDITED) In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way in which publicly-held companies report financial and descriptive information about its operating segments in financial statements for both interim and annual periods. The Statement also requires additional disclosures with respect to products and services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. The adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have no impact on the Corporation's consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, but is expected to increase the level of disclosure of segment information. 10 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION On July 3, 1997, the Corporation and Northrop Grumman Corporation (Northrop Grumman) announced that they had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement) to combine the companies in a transaction with a total estimated value of approximately $11.6 billion, including Northrop Grumman debt to be assumed by the Corporation of approximately $3.1 billion (the Merger). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, which was unanimously approved by the respective Boards of Directors of the Corporation and Northrop Grumman, Northrop Grumman stockholders will receive 1.1923 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock for each share of Northrop Grumman common stock. The consummation of the Merger is subject to, among other things, the approval by the stockholders of the Corporation of the issuance of Lockheed Martin common stock, the approval of the Merger by stockholders of Northrop Grumman, and certain regulatory approvals. The transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 1998, will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. TRANSACTION AGREEMENT WITH GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY On November 3, 1997, the Corporation announced a definitive agreement with General Electric Company (GE) under which the Corporation will exchange the stock of a newly formed subsidiary, LMT Sub Inc. (LMT Sub), for all of the Lockheed Martin Series A preferred stock held by GE and certain subsidiaries of GE. The Series A preferred stock, which was issued to GE in connection with the acquisition of GE's aerospace businesses in 1993, is convertible into approximately 29 million shares of Lockheed Martin common stock with a market value of approximately $2.8 billion at the date of the announcement. In exchange for the Series A preferred stock, GE and such subsidiaries of GE will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of LMT Sub which will be composed of two non-core commercial business units, which contributed approximately 6% of the Corporation's net sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Corporation's investment in a telecommunications partnership, and approximately $1.6 billion in cash, as calculated at the date of the announcement. The amount of cash to be included in the transaction is subject to change through the date of consummation based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership, and the results of operations of the business units included in the transaction. The cash included in the exchange is expected to be initially financed through short-term borrowings or the issuance of commercial paper and, soon after closing, is expected to be refinanced pursuant to a long-term note or notes from the Corporation to LMT Sub. The transaction, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 1997 subject to certain regulatory approvals, will be accounted for at fair value, and management anticipates recognition of a tax- free gain in excess of $300 million as calculated at the date of the announcement. The gain is subject to change through the date of consummation based primarily on changes in the fair values of Lockheed Martin common stock and the common stock of the telecommunications partnership. BUSINESS COMBINATION WITH LORAL CORPORATION In April 1996, the Corporation purchased all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Loral Corporation (Loral) for an aggregate consideration of $38 per share in cash. The purchase involved a series of transactions that resulted in (i) the distribution to stockholders of Loral, immediately prior to the consummation of the purchase, of shares of capital stock in Loral Space & Communications, Ltd. (Loral SpaceCom), a newly-formed company, which now owns and manages substantially all of Loral's former space and satellite telecommunications interests, and in which the Corporation acquired shares of preferred stock that were convertible into 20 percent of Loral SpaceCom's common stock on a fully diluted basis at the date of acquisition, and (ii) the acquisition by the Corporation of Loral's defense electronics and systems integration businesses (collectively, the Loral Transaction). In connection with the Loral Transaction, Loral changed its name to Lockheed Martin Tactical Systems, Inc. (Tactical Systems), which became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation. The operations of Tactical Systems have been included in the results of operations of the Corporation from April 1, 1996. 11 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) With regard to the Loral Transaction, the total purchase price paid, including acquisition costs, was approximately $7.6 billion. At the effective date of the Loral Transaction, the Corporation assumed approximately $1.9 billion of debt obligations of the former Loral Corporation. The Loral Transaction was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. Purchase accounting adjustments were recorded to allocate the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair values at the date of acquisition. The funds for the consummation of the Loral Transaction were provided through the issuance of approximately $6.6 billion of commercial paper and an approximate $1 billion borrowing under a 5-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the 5-Year Facility). During the second quarter of 1996, the Corporation issued $5 billion of long-term fixed rate debt securities. The net proceeds from the sale of the debt securities were used to repay the $1 billion borrowed under the 5-Year Facility and to reduce the amount of commercial paper outstanding. REPOSITIONING OF NON-CORE BUSINESSES AND NEW ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE In March 1997, the Corporation executed a definitive agreement valued at approximately $525 million to reposition 10 non-core business units as a new independent company, L-3 Communications Corporation (L-3), in which the Corporation retained a 34.9% ownership interest at closing. These business units, primarily composed of high technology, product-oriented companies, had approximately 4,900 employees and contributed approximately two percent of the Corporation's net sales during the three month period ended March 31, 1997. The transaction, which closed on April 30, 1997 with an effective date of March 30, 1997, did not have a material impact on the Corporation's earnings. Concurrent with the announcement of this transaction in February 1997, the Corporation announced a new organizational structure which reassigned management responsibility for certain business units. As a result, the Corporation's operations were divided into five business segments. Prior year data has been reclassified to conform to the new presentation. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The Corporation's operating cycle is long-term and involves various types of production contracts and varying production delivery schedules. Accordingly, results of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and profits, may not be indicative of future operating results. The following comparative analysis should be viewed in this context. Consolidated net sales for the third quarter were $6.6 billion in 1997, a six percent decrease from the $7.0 billion recorded for the comparable period in 1996. The 1996 results include the operations of Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. (Materials), which was divested during the fourth quarter of 1996; the Space Shuttle processing operations, which the Corporation transferred to United Space Alliance, LLC (USA), an unconsolidated joint venture, during the second half of 1996; the operations of the Corporation's Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses, which were sold to General Dynamics Corporation (General Dynamics) in a transaction which concluded with the Corporation's receipt of $450 million in cash on January 2, 1997; and the operations which were repositioned as L-3 effective March 30, 1997. Excluding the effects of these divestitures, net sales for the third quarter of 1997 would have increased by one percent over comparable 1996 results for the same period. Consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $20.2 billion, a five percent increase over the $19.2 billion reported for the same period in 1996. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of the operations of the former Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997 period versus only a portion of 1996, offset by the absence in 1997 of the operations of the divested entities discussed previously. Excluding the effects of these items, net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 would have been four percent higher than the comparable period in 1996. 12 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) The Corporation's operating profit (earnings before interest and taxes) for the third quarter of 1997 was $747 million versus $736 million for the comparable 1996 period. Excluding the impact of the divestitures discussed above, operating profit for the third quarter of 1997 would have increased by more than 10 percent above the operating profit for the comparable 1996 period. Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $2.1 billion versus $1.9 billion as reported for the comparable period in 1996. Excluding the effects of the transactions referred to above, operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 would have increased by nearly 12 percent from the comparable 1996 period. Net earnings for the third quarter of 1997 were $331 million, or $1.51 per common share assuming full dilution. These amounts represent increases from the reported third quarter 1996 net earnings of $311 million, or $1.38 per common share. Net earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $929 million, or $4.25 per common share assuming full dilution, versus $882 million, or $3.93 per common share, for the comparable 1996 period. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 1997 was 38 percent as compared to 39 percent for the third quarter of 1996, and 38 percent versus 39 percent for the first nine months of 1997 and 1996, respectively. The effective rates for each period were higher than the statutory corporate federal income tax rate principally due to the nondeductibility for tax purposes of certain costs in excess of net assets acquired associated with previous acquisition activities. The Corporation's backlog of undelivered orders was approximately $46.9 billion at September 30, 1997, versus $50.4 billion reported at December 31, 1996. The lower backlog at September 30, 1997 reflects the divestiture of the Corporation's Armament Systems, Defense Systems and L-3 businesses. The Corporation received orders for approximately $18.5 billion in new and follow-on business during the first nine months of 1997. The following table displays third quarter and year-to-date net sales and operating profit for the Corporation's business segments.
Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 1997 1996 1997 1996 -------- -------- -------- -------- (In millions) Net Sales: Space & Strategic Missiles $1,944 $1,866 $ 5,828 $ 5,699 Electronics 1,699 1,803 5,192 4,595 Information & Services 1,631 1,636 4,958 4,270 Aeronautics 1,294 1,477 4,100 3,977 Energy and Other 51 246 113 672 ------ ------ ------- ------- $6,619 $7,028 $20,191 $19,213 ====== ====== ======= ======= Operating Profit: Space & Strategic Missiles $ 299 $ 237 $ 842 $ 790 Electronics 175 184 447 410 Information & Services 60 111 263 217 Aeronautics 152 135 439 365 Energy and Other 61 69 122 150 ------ ------ ------- ------- $ 747 $ 736 $ 2,113 $ 1,932 ====== ====== ======= =======
Net sales of the Space & Strategic Missiles segment increased by four percent in the third quarter of 1997 from the comparable 1996 period. This increase was due mainly to the impact of new programs (commercial telecommunications, SBIRS) and higher launch vehicle volume, partly offset by lower Titan and Fleet Ballistic Missile 13 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) activity. Net sales for the first nine months of 1997 were slightly higher than the comparable 1996 amount. Operating profit for the third quarter and year-to- date 1997 increased by 26 percent and seven percent, respectively, as compared to 1996, principally because of timing of the recognition of award fees on certain space programs and greater activity and improved performance on the Atlas and other launch vehicle programs, partly offset by less favorable performance on several satellite programs. Third quarter 1997 Electronics segment net sales decreased by six percent versus the same period in 1996 due to the exclusion of the results of the Armament Systems and Defense Systems businesses which were sold to General Dynamics early in 1997. Excluding the results of operations of these companies, third quarter net sales would have been approximately equal to the comparable 1996 amount. Year-to-date net sales for 1997 increased by 13 percent over the comparable 1996 amount due to the inclusion of the operations of certain former Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997 period versus only a portion of 1996, partially offset by the Armament Systems and Defense Systems dispositions. Excluding the results of operations of these companies, net sales for the first nine months of 1997 would have decreased by two percent from the comparable 1996 amount, as a result of reductions in sales volume for the BSY-2, AEGIS and various other programs. Operating profit for the third quarter of 1997 decreased by five percent from the comparable 1996 amount principally because of the Armament Systems and Defense Systems divestitures. Excluding the operations of these companies, operating profit would have decreased by two percent. Operating profit for the first nine months of 1997 increased by nine percent as compared to 1996, resulting from the inclusion of the former Tactical Systems companies, partially offset by the dispositions of the Armament Systems and Defense Systems companies noted above. Excluding the results of operations of these companies, year-to-date 1997 operating profit would have decreased by five percent compared to 1996, primarily due to lower sales as discussed above. Third quarter 1997 Information & Services segment net sales remained level with the comparable 1996 amount, as increases in commercial products and data systems product lines largely offset the absence in 1997 of the Space Shuttle processing operations transferred to USA during the second half of 1996 and the operations of the businesses repositioned as L-3. Year-to-date 1997 net sales increased by 16 percent over the comparable 1996 period due to the inclusion of the operations of certain former Tactical Systems companies for the entire 1997 period versus only a portion of 1996, offset by the effect of the absence of the Corporation's Space Shuttle processing operations and the absence of the L-3 operations in 1997. Excluding the effects of these items, net sales for the third quarter and year-to-date would have increased by 12 percent and 17 percent, respectively, from the respective comparable 1996 periods. These increases resulted primarily from an increase in sales volume related to commercial products, air traffic control systems and information management systems. Third quarter 1997 operating profit decreased by 46 percent from the comparable 1996 period, due to the exclusion of the businesses repositioned as L-3, and adverse performance and timing issues related to commercial product lines. Year-to-date 1997 operating profit increased by 21 percent over the same period of 1996. Year-to-date 1997 operating profit includes the former Tactical Systems companies for the entire period versus only a portion of 1996. In addition, performance improvements in various systems integration and information systems programs were partially offset by the unfavorable performance in commercial lines of business. Excluding the effects of the acquisitions and divestitures discussed above, third quarter and year-to-date 1997 operating profit would have decreased by 35 percent and increased by 28 percent, respectively, from the amounts recorded for the comparable 1996 periods. Third quarter and year-to-date 1997 Aeronautics net sales decreased by 12 percent and increased by 3 percent, respectively, from the comparable 1996 amounts. In the quarter, increases resulting from the timing of deliveries of F-16 fighter aircraft and F-16 support volume were more than offset by fewer deliveries of C-130 airlift aircraft. Operating profit for third quarter and year-to-date 1997 increased by 13 percent and 20 percent, respectively, as compared to the respective comparable 1996 amounts, principally due to increased F-16 deliveries noted above as well as performance improvements at certain of the segment's aircraft and logistics centers. 14 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Net sales and operating profit of the Energy and Other segment for the third quarter and nine months of 1997 decreased significantly from the comparable 1996 amounts primarily due to the divestiture of Materials during the fourth quarter of 1996. The decrease in operating profit was somewhat offset by gains recorded in 1997 from the Corporation's investment portfolio. In 1994, the Corporation was awarded a $180 million fixed price contract by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for the Phase II design, construction and limited test of remediation facilities, and the Phase III full remediation of waste found in Pit 9, located on the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory reservation. The Corporation has incurred significant unanticipated costs and scheduling issues due to complex technical and contractual matters which threaten the viability of the overall Pit 9 program. Management completed its investigation to identify and quantify the overall effects of these matters, and has summarized its findings in a request for equitable adjustment (REA) which was delivered to the DOE on March 31, 1997. The provisions of the REA include, but are not limited to, the recovery of a portion of unanticipated costs incurred by the Corporation and the restructuring of the contract to provide for a more equitable sharing of the risks associated with the Pit 9 project. To date, the Corporation and the DOE have not reached any agreements on cost recovery or other contractual restructuring matters. As a result, the Corporation has reduced work activities at the Pit 9 site, awaiting technical direction from the DOE. On September 22, 1997, the management and reporting structure of the Pit 9 program was changed in an effort to better focus the Corporation's resources on resolving these issues. The Corporation is responding to three administrative orders issued by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board (the Regional Board) in connection with the Corporation's former Lockheed Propulsion Company facilities in Redlands, California. Under the orders, the Corporation is investigating the impact and potential remediation of regional groundwater contamination by perchlorates and chlorinated solvents. The Regional Board has approved the Corporation's plan to maintain public water supplies with respect to chlorinated solvents during this work, and the Corporation is negotiating with local water purveyors to implement this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns relative to perchlorate contamination. The Corporation estimates that expenditures required to implement work currently approved will be approximately $110 million. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, $231 million of cash was provided by operating activities, compared to $1.3 billion during the first nine months of 1996. This fluctuation resulted principally from increased cash flow requirements related to certain aircraft and space-related programs. Net cash provided by investing activities during the first nine months of 1997 was $309 million, compared to $7.9 billion used for investing activities during the first nine months of 1996. The 1996 amount reflected the use of approximately $7.3 billion of cash related to the Loral Transaction, while the 1997 amount reflected the receipt of $450 million from General Dynamics during 1997 for the sale of the Corporation's Armament Systems and Defense Systems operations and the receipt of more than $400 million in cash from the repositioning of L-3. Net cash used for financing activities was $430 million in the first nine months of 1997 versus $6.2 billion provided by financing activities during the comparable period in 1996. The 1996 amount reflected the issuance of debt to finance the Loral Transaction while the 1997 amount principally reflected repayments of debt and dividend activity. Commercial paper borrowings of approximately $2.3 billion were outstanding at September 30, 1997. Of this amount, $1.25 billion has been classified as long- term debt in the Corporation's condensed consolidated balance sheet based on management's ability and intention to maintain this debt outstanding for at least one year. Total debt, including short-term borrowings, amounted to approximately 60 percent of total capitalization at September 30, 1997, a reduction from the 63 percent reported at December 31, 1996. This reduction is the result of net repayments related to debt during the first nine months of 1997 of $231 million combined with a $798 million increase in stockholders' equity during the same period. The increase in stockholders' equity resulted primarily from net earnings for the period of $929 million and option and ESOP activity, offset by dividends totaling $270 million. As a result of the Northrop Grumman and GE transactions, the Corporation's senior long-term debt ratings are currently under review. 15 LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued) Cash on hand and temporarily invested, internally generated funds and available financing resources are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating and debt service requirements and discretionary investment needs.
