Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

March 31, 2003

 

 

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin or the Corporation) has continued to follow the accounting policies set forth in the consolidated financial statements included in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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 ended March 31, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. Certain amounts presented for prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

 

NOTE 2 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

The Corporation measures compensation cost for stock-based compensation plans using the intrinsic value method of accounting as prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations. The Corporation has adopted those provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” and FAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which require disclosure of the pro forma effects on net earnings and earnings per share as if compensation cost had been recognized based upon the fair value-based method at the date of grant for options awarded.

NOTE 3 – EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share were computed based on net earnings. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period was used in the calculation of basic earnings per share, and this number of shares was increased by the dilutive effect of stock options based on the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Commercial launch vehicle inventories included amounts advanced to Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center (Khrunichev), the Russian manufacturer of Proton launch vehicles and provider of related launch services, of $347 million and $391 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively. In addition, commercial launch vehicle inventories included amounts advanced to RD AMROSS, a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and NPO Energomash, of $53 million and $61 million at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, respectively, for the development and purchase, subject to certain conditions, of RD-180 booster engines used for Atlas launch vehicles.

 

NOTE 5 – 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 in-house counsel, the probability is remote that the outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. These matters include the following items:

 

Environmental matters—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 investigation, and the Corporation continues to negotiate with local water purveyors to implement this plan, as well as to address water supply concerns relative to perchlorate contamination. The Corporation is also coordinating with the U.S. Air Force, which is working with the aerospace and defense industry to conduct preliminary studies of the potential health effects of perchlorate exposure in connection with several sites across the country, including the Redlands site. The results of these studies are intended to assist state and federal regulators in setting appropriate action levels for perchlorates in groundwater. In January 2002, the State of California reduced its provisional standard for perchlorate concentration in water from 18 parts per billion (ppb) to 4 ppb, a move that neither industry nor the Air Force believes is supported by the current studies.

 

Although this provisional standard does not create any legally enforceable requirements for the Corporation at this time, the Corporation has developed a preliminary remediation plan that would meet the provisional standard if it were to become final. Because this plan entails a long lead-time for implementation, the Corporation has begun implementing this plan and has recognized the increased costs that are associated with the plan. The consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2003 includes a liability of approximately $185 million representing the Corporation’s estimate of the remaining expenditures necessary to implement the remediation and other work at the site over the next 30 years. As at other sites, the Corporation is pursuing claims against other

 

10


Table of Contents

Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

potentially responsible parties (PRPs), including the U.S. Government, for contribution to site clean-up costs.

 

The Corporation has been conducting remediation activities to address soil and groundwater contamination by chlorinated solvents at its former operations in Great Neck, New York which it acquired as part of its acquisition of Loral Corporation in 1996. This work is being done pursuant to a series of orders and agreements with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation beginning with a 1991 administrative order entered by Unisys Tactical Defense Systems, a predecessor company at the site. The remediation work associated with this site includes work performed on the site itself, as well as implementation of an off-site interim remedial measure intended to address an off-site plume of groundwater contamination that was found to be moving more rapidly than originally anticipated. Total projected future costs for the site are estimated to be approximately $70 million through 2025. This amount is included as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2003. As at other sites, the Corporation is pursuing claims against other PRPs, including the U.S. Government, for contribution to site clean-up costs.

 

Since 1990, the Corporation has been responding to various consent decrees and orders relating to soil and regional groundwater contamination in the San Fernando Valley associated with the Corporation’s former operations in Burbank and Glendale, California. Among other things, these consent decrees and orders obligate the Corporation to construct and fund the operations of soil and groundwater treatment facilities in Burbank and Glendale, California through 2018 and 2012, respectively; however, responsibility for the long-term operation of these facilities has been assumed by the respective localities. The Corporation has been successful in limiting its financial responsibility for these activities to date to its pro rata share as a result of litigation and settlements with other PRPs. In addition, under an agreement reached with the U.S. Government in 2000, the Corporation will continue to be reimbursed in an amount equal to approximately 50% of future expenditures for certain remediation activities by the U.S. Government in its capacity as a PRP under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act. The Corporation has recorded a liability of approximately $60 million representing its estimate of the total expenditures required over the remaining terms of the consent decrees and orders described above, net of the effects of the agreement.

 

The Corporation is involved in proceedings and potential proceedings relating to environmental matters at other facilities, including disposal of hazardous wastes and soil and water contamination. The extent of the Corporation’s financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably determined at this time. In addition to the amounts with respect to the Redlands, Great Neck, Burbank and Glendale sites described above, a liability of approximately $130 million for the other properties (including current operating facilities and certain facilities operated in prior years) in which an estimate of financial exposure can be determined has been recorded.

Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

Under agreements reached with the U.S. Government in 1990 and 2000, certain 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 PRPs, 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 environmental 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 recoveries of portions of the environmental costs through insurance policy coverage or from other PRPs, which the Corporation is pursuing as required by agreement and U.S. Government regulation. Any such recoveries, when received, would reduce 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 remediation of waste found in Pit 9, located on the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory reservation. The Corporation incurred significant unanticipated costs and scheduling issues due to complex technical and contractual matters, which it sought to remedy through submission of a request for equitable adjustment. To date, the Corporation has been unsuccessful in reaching any agreements with the DoE on cost recovery or other contract restructuring matters. In 1998, the management contractor for the project, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, at the DoE’s direction, terminated the Pit 9 contract for default. As a result, the Corporation filed a lawsuit against the DoE in the Court of Federal Claims seeking to overturn the default termination and recover its costs, which are included in inventories. Also in 1998, the management contractor, also at the DoE’s direction, filed suit against the Corporation in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho seeking, among other things, recovery of approximately $54 million previously paid to the Corporation under the Pit 9 contract. The Corporation counterclaimed seeking to overturn the default termination and recover its costs. The Corporation is defending this action which is set for trial in August 2003.

 

In 2001, the Court of Federal Claims granted the DoE’s motion to dismiss the Corporation’s complaint, finding that there was no privity of contract between the Corporation and the United States sufficient to provide the Court with jurisdiction over the dispute. On September 30, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the decision of the Court of Federal Claims. The Corporation did not appeal the decision further and will continue to seek resolution of the Pit 9 dispute through non-litigation means while preparing for trial in the Idaho proceeding.

NOTE 6 – INFORMATION ON BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

The Corporation operates in four principal business segments: Systems Integration, Aeronautics, Space Systems and Technology Services. In the following tables of financial data, the total of the operating results of the principal business segments is reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. With respect to the caption “Operating profit,” the reconciling item “Unallocated Corporate (expense) income, net” includes the FAS/CAS adjustment related to pensions (see discussion below), earnings and losses from equity investments (mainly telecommunications), interest income, costs for stock-based award programs, items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, and Corporate costs not allocated to the operating segments as well as other miscellaneous Corporate activities. For financial statement captions other than “Operating profit,” all activities other than those pertaining to the principal business segments are included on a line item entitled “Other.”

 

The FAS/CAS adjustment represents the difference between pension costs calculated and funded in accordance with Cost Accounting Standards (CAS), which are reflected in the business segment results, and pension expense or income calculated for financial reporting purposes under generally accepted accounting principles in accordance with FAS 87, “Employers’ Accounting for Pensions.” CAS is a major factor for determining pension funding requirements for the Corporation, and governs the extent of allocability and recoverability of pension costs on government contracts. The CAS expense is recovered through the pricing of our products and services on U.S. Government contracts, and therefore is recognized in net sales of the applicable segment. The results of operations of the Corporation’s segments only include pension expense as determined and funded in accordance with CAS rules.

NOTE 7 – OTHER

 

As of the end of 2002, the global telecommunications services businesses identified for divestiture in 2001 had been sold, except for Lockheed Martin Intersputnik (LMI). The Corporation reached an agreement to sell LMI in the third quarter of 2002; however, in April 2003, the agreement was terminated. The Corporation is continuing to treat LMI as a discontinued operation, as it is still holding and actively marketing the business for sale. The operating results of LMI had no impact on the statement of earnings for the first quarter of 2003. LMI was carried at estimated fair value less cost to sell at March 31, 2003, and its assets and liabilities, which represented less than 1% of the Corporation’s consolidated assets and liabilities, respectively, were included in the balance sheet in other current assets and other current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of LMI will be recorded in the future if appropriate.

 

In 2003, the Corporation issued irrevocable redemption notices to the trustees for two issuances of callable debentures totaling $450 million. This amount was included in current maturities of long-term debt on the Corporation’s balance sheet at December 31, 2002. One notice was for $300 million of 7.875% debentures due on March 15, 2023, which were repaid on March 15, 2003. The second notice was for $150 million of 7.75% debentures due on April 15, 2023, which were repaid on April 15, 2003. The $150 million of 7.75% debentures was included in current maturities of long-term debt on the balance sheet at March 31, 2003. The Corporation recorded a loss, net of state income tax benefits, of $19 million in other income and expenses related to the early repayment of the $450 million of debt. The loss reduced net earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share).

 

In December 2002, the Corporation recorded a charge, net of state income tax benefits, of $163 million related to its investment in Space Imaging, LLC and its guarantee of up to $150 million of Space Imaging’s borrowings under a credit facility. At December 31, 2002, the Corporation’s balance sheet included $150 million in current maturities of long-term debt representing the estimated obligation under the guarantee.

Notes To Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

 

On March 31, 2003, Lockheed Martin paid $130 million to acquire Space Imaging’s outstanding borrowings under Space Imaging’s credit facility, and the guarantee was eliminated. The Corporation therefore reversed, net of state income taxes, approximately $19 million of the charge recorded in December 2002, representing the unutilized portion of the credit facility covered by the Corporation’s guarantee. This gain increased first quarter 2003 net earnings by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share). The $130 million is included in investing activities on the statement of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2003.

 

The components of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 consisted of the following:

The Corporation’s total interest payments were $36 million and $39 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

The Corporation made net federal and foreign income tax payments of $31 million, and received net federal and foreign income tax refunds of $26 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

As disclosed in its 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on a combined basis, the Corporation’s investments in Intelsat, Space Imaging, United Space Alliance and Americom Asia-Pacific accounted for the majority of its total equity method investments at December 31, 2002 and equity earnings (losses) recorded for the year then ended. Summarized statement of operations information for these investees for the period ended March 31, 2003 on a combined basis is as follows: net sales—$687 million; net earnings—$72 million.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

 

Lockheed Martin Corporation

March 31, 2003

 

Lockheed Martin Corporation is involved in the conception, research, design, development, manufacture, integration and operation of advanced technology systems, products and services. As a lead systems integrator, our products and services range from aircraft, spacecraft and launch vehicles to missiles, electronics and information systems. We have customers in both domestic and international defense and commercial markets. Our principal customers are agencies of the U.S. Government. Our main areas of focus are in the defense, space, homeland security, and government/civil information technology markets. The following discussion should be read along with our 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Consolidated Results of Operations

 

Since our operating cycle is long-term and involves many types of development and production contracts with varying production delivery schedules, the results of operations of a particular quarter, or quarter-to-quarter comparisons of recorded sales and profits, may not be indicative of our future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results among periods should be viewed in this context.

 

Continuing Operations

 

Net sales for the first quarter of 2003 were $7.1 billion, an 18% increase over the first quarter 2002 sales of $6.0 billion. Sales increased in all business segments during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period.

 

Operating profit (earnings before interest and taxes) for the first quarter of 2003 was $505 million, an increase of 7% from the $474 million recorded in the comparable 2002 period. Operating profit increased in all four business segments during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period.

(1)   In the first quarter of 2003, we recognized a loss of $19 million associated with our decision to call and prepay $300 million of 7.875% debentures originally due 2023 and $150 million of 7.75% debentures also originally due 2023.
(2)   In the first quarter of 2003, we recognized a gain on the partial reversal of the $150 million fourth quarter 2002 charge related to the guarantee of our share of Space Imaging, LLC’s credit facility. On March 31, 2003, we paid $130 million when Space Imaging’s borrowings under the credit facility came due. The difference of $20 million ($19 million after state tax), which represented the unutilized portion of the guarantee, was reversed and the guarantee eliminated.

 

Interest expense for the first quarter of 2003 was $140 million, $8 million lower than the comparable period in 2002 primarily as a result of the reduction in our long-term debt.

 

Our effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 were 31.5% and 31.3%, respectively. The effective rates for both periods were lower than the statutory rate of 35% primarily due to tax benefits related to export sales and the realization of tax savings initiatives.

 

Earnings from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2003 were $250 million ($0.55 per diluted share) compared to $224 million ($0.50 per diluted share) reported in the first quarter of 2002.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

During 2003, the telecommunications services business held for sale (LMI) had no impact on our earnings. In the first quarter of 2002, the loss from discontinued operations was $6 million ($0.01 per diluted share).

Net Earnings

 

For the first quarter of 2003 and 2002, our net earnings were $250 million ($0.55 per diluted share) and $218 million ($0.49 per diluted share), respectively.

 

Discussion of Business Segments

 

We operate in four principal business segments: Systems Integration, Aeronautics, Space Systems and Technology Services. The Aeronautics and Space Systems segments generally include fewer programs that have much larger sales and operating results than programs included in the other segments. Therefore, due to the large number of comparatively smaller programs in the Systems Integration and Technology Services segments, the discussions of the results of operations of these business segments generally focus on lines of business within the segments. The following tables of financial information and related discussions of the results of operations of our business segments are consistent with the presentation of segment information in Note 6 to the financial statements in this Form 10-Q.

 

Systems Integration

 

Systems Integration’s operating results included the following:

Net sales for Systems Integration increased by 6% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. Sales increased in all of the segment’s lines of business by approximately: $75 million at Command, Control, Communication, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), primarily due to information superiority programs; $25 million at Naval Electronics & Surveillance Systems (NE&SS), mainly on undersea programs; and the remainder related to Systems Integration-Owego, primarily due to distribution technology programs and Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC), mainly in air defense programs.

 

Segment operating profit increased by 1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 when compared to 2002. Operating profit increases at M&FC, primarily in tactical missile programs, and C4I, mainly in information superiority programs, totaling about $10 million on a combined basis, were partially offset by a decline at Systems Integration-Owego. The segment’s 2003 margin of 9.5% was lower than the 9.9% realized in 2002 due to a

decline in volume on mature production programs (at Owego) and higher volume on development programs (at C4I and NE&SS).

Net sales for Aeronautics increased by 57% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. Sales increased by about $375 million on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program and by about $100 million on the F/A-22 program due to higher volume. Additional development and support activities on international F-16 programs accounted for approximately $150 million of the sales increase. Sales also increased by about $100 million due to higher volume on the C-130J program in the current quarter compared to the first quarter of 2002.

 

Segment operating profit increased by 58% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. The increase was primarily due to the higher volume on the programs described above, mainly combat aircraft programs which accounted for about $50 million of the increase. The increase in C-130J deliveries did not impact operating profit due to the previously disclosed suspension of earnings recognition on the program.

 

Space Systems

government space line of business related to higher volume that more than offset a $75 million decline in the commercial space line of business. The increase in government space was mainly due to volume increases of about $150 million in ground systems activities, with the remainder primarily due to government satellite programs. The decrease in commercial space was driven by a nearly $200 million decline in sales resulting from fewer commercial launches partially offset by increased sales of approximately $125 million from one additional commercial satellite delivery.

 

Segment operating profit increased 34% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. The quarter-to-quarter change was due to an approximate $75 million increase in operating profit in the government space line of business that more than offset a $30 million decline in the commercial space line of business. Improved performance and higher volumes in government space resulted in a quarter-over-quarter increase in operating profit of $50 million related to government satellite programs and ground systems activities, with the remainder mainly due to the Titan launch vehicle program. The operating loss from commercial launch vehicles was higher by about $50 million primarily due to the effect of profitable launches in the prior year. Partially offsetting the higher losses in commercial launch vehicles was a $25 million current quarter improvement in commercial satellite activities over the first quarter of 2002.

 

Technology Services

 

Technology Services’ operating results included the following:

Net sales for Technology Services increased by 3% in the first quarter of 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. The growth in sales was primarily attributable to higher volume in the military aircraft and defense lines of business that resulted in a $50 million increase in current quarter sales over the comparable 2002 period. This growth was partially offset by a combined decrease of $35 million due to lower sales in commercial information technology programs and the NASA line of business.

 

Segment operating profit increased by 30% for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from the comparable 2002 period. Operating profit increased mainly due to improved performance in information technology.

The quarter-to-quarter change in the FAS/CAS adjustment is due to our reporting FAS pension expense in 2003 versus FAS pension income in the prior year. We disclosed in our 2002 Form 10-K that we were projecting a substantial amount of pension expense, as well as a substantial increase in CAS funding, for 2003. The amounts of FAS 87 expense and CAS funding recorded in the first quarter of 2003 represent about 20% to 25% of the total amounts we expect to record for the full year. We are currently projecting that both the FAS 87 expense and CAS funding for 2004 will increase substantially over 2003 levels, though the actual amounts will not be finalized until the end of 2003 and will depend on current market conditions as well as our judgments in selecting assumptions based on future market trends, changes in interest rates and equity market performance.

 

The quarter-to-quarter change in “Other” unallocated corporate (expense) income, net is primarily due to the impact of the decrease in our stock price, which lowered our stock-based award programs’ deferred liabilities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

During the quarter ended March 31, 2003, $544 million of cash was provided by operating activities, compared to $428 million during the comparable 2002 period. Each period includes the impact of earnings from continuing operations, adjusted for non-cash depreciation and amortization, and changes in operating assets and liabilities.

 

Net cash used for investing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $232 million as compared to $68 million used during the comparable 2002 period. Investing activities for 2003 included a $130 million payment related to the Space Imaging guarantee (see related discussion below) and a $23 million payment related to the 2001 acquisition of OAO Corporation consistent with the related contract. Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to $78 million in 2003. These outflows more than offset the proceeds from property dispositions. Investing activities for 2002 included $113 million in proceeds from the March 2002 sale of COMSAT Mobile Communications and property dispositions, offset by a $76 million payment related to the 2001 acquisition of OAO Corporation. Additions to property, plant and equipment amounted to $105 million in 2002.

 

Net cash used for financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $960 million as compared to $95 million provided by financing during the comparable 2002 period. The 2003 amount included $324 million for scheduled debt repayments, $313 million in debt prepayments and an associated prepayment premium (see related discussion below), $279 million for the repurchase of 6.3 million shares of common stock and $54 million in dividend payments. These outflows more than offset proceeds of $10 million from the issuance of common stock, primarily from the exercise of employee stock options. The 2002 amount included $201 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock, primarily from the exercise of employee stock options, partially offset by $58 million in net debt repayments and $48 million in dividend payments.

 

Total debt decreased by $774 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 from approximately $7.6 billion at December 31, 2002. This decrease was mainly attributable to the prepayment of debt, scheduled payments of debt maturities as well as the resolution of our guarantee of Space Imaging, LLC’s credit facility (see related discussion below). Total stockholders’ equity was $5.8 billion at March 31, 2003, a decrease of $26 million from the December 31, 2002 balance. This decrease resulted from stock repurchases of $279 million, dividend payments of $54 million and other comprehensive losses of $2 million, partially offset by net earnings of $250 million and employee stock option and ESOP activities of $59 million. Our ratio of debt-to-total capitalization improved from the 56 percent reported at December 31, 2002 to 54 percent at March 31, 2003. At March 31, 2003, we held cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.1 billion. In the first quarter of 2003, Fitch Ratings upgraded our long-term debt rating to BBB+ with a stable outlook.

In 2003, we issued irrevocable redemption notices to the trustees for two issuances of callable debentures totaling $450 million. This amount was included in current maturities of long-term debt on our balance sheet at December 31, 2002. One notice was for $300 million of 7.875% debentures due on March 15, 2023, which we repaid on March 15, 2003. The second notice was for $150 million of 7.75% debentures due on April 15, 2023, which we repaid on April 15, 2003. We included the $150 million of 7.75% debentures in current maturities of long-term debt on our balance sheet at March 31, 2003. We recorded a loss, net of state income tax benefits, of $19 million in other income and expenses related to the early repayment of the $450 million of debt. The loss reduced first quarter 2003 net earnings by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share).

 

In December 2002, we recorded a charge, net of state income tax benefits, of $163 million related to our investment in Space Imaging, LLC and our guarantee of up to $150 million of Space Imaging’s borrowings under a credit facility that matured on March 30, 2003. At December 31, 2002, we increased current maturities of long-term debt by $150 million representing our estimated obligation under the guarantee. On March 31, 2003, we paid $130 million to acquire Space Imaging’s outstanding borrowings under Space Imaging’s credit facility, and the guarantee was eliminated. We therefore reversed, net of state income taxes, approximately $19 million of the charge recorded in December 2002, representing the unutilized portion of the credit facility covered by our guarantee. This gain increased first quarter 2003 net earnings by $13 million ($0.03 per diluted share).

 

At March 31, 2003, we had in place a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility; no borrowings were outstanding. This credit facility will expire in November 2006.

 

We actively seek to finance our business in a manner that preserves financial flexibility while minimizing borrowing costs to the extent practicable. Our management continually reviews changes in financial, market and economic conditions to manage the types, amounts and maturities of our indebtedness. We may at times refinance existing indebtedness, vary our mix of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt, or seek alternative financing sources for our cash and operational needs.

 

Cash and cash equivalents, internally generated cash flow from operations and other available financing resources, including those described above, are expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated operating, capital expenditure and debt service requirements, as well as discretionary investment needs, during the next twelve months. Consistent with our desire to generate cash to reduce debt and invest in our core businesses, we expect that, depending on prevailing financial, market and economic conditions, we will continue to explore the sale of non-core businesses, passive equity investments and surplus real estate.

 

Realization of our investments in equity securities may be affected by an investee’s ability to obtain adequate funding and execute its business plans, general market conditions, industry considerations specific to the investee’s business, and/or other

factors. The inability of an investee to obtain future funding or successfully execute its business plan could adversely affect our earnings in the periods affected by those events.

 

ADVANCES TO RUSSIAN MANUFACTURERS

 

In 1992, we entered into a joint venture with two Russian government-owned space firms to form Lockheed-Khrunichev-Energia International, Inc. (LKEI). We own 51% of LKEI. LKEI has exclusive rights to market launches of commercial, non-Russian-origin space payloads on the Proton family of rockets from a launch site in Kazakhstan. In 1995, another joint venture was formed, International Launch Services (ILS), with Lockheed Martin and LKEI each holding a 50% ownership. ILS was formed to market commercial Atlas and Proton launch services around the world. We consolidate the results of operations of LKEI and ILS into our financial statements. Contracts for launch services usually require substantial advances from the customer before the launch. Advances received from customers for Proton launch services not yet provided totaled $374 million at March 31, 2003 and $412 million at December 31, 2002, and were included as a liability on our balance sheet in the caption customer advances and amounts in excess of costs incurred.

 

A sizable percentage of the advances we receive from customers for Proton launch services are sent to Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center (Khrunichev), the manufacturer of the launch vehicle and provider of the related launch services in Russia. If a contracted launch service is not provided, a sizeable percentage of the related advance would have to be refunded to the customer. In addition, we have previously sent advances to Khrunichev that are covered by an arrangement to reduce future launch payments from us to Khrunichev, contingent on the receipt of new orders as well as a minimum number of actual launches each year. The advances sent to Khrunichev are included on our balance sheet in inventories. Total payments to Khrunichev included in inventories at March 31, 2003 and December 31, 2002, net of reserves recorded in the fourth quarter of 2002, were $347 million and $391 million, respectively. Our ability to realize these amounts may be affected by the continuing overcapacity in the launch vehicle market, Khrunichev’s ability to provide the launch services and the political environment in Russia. Through the end of March 2003, launch services through LKEI and ILS have been provided according to contract terms.

 

We have entered into an agreement with RD AMROSS, a joint venture of the Pratt & Whitney division of United Technologies Corporation and the Russian firm NPO Energomash, for the development and purchase, subject to certain conditions, of RD-180 booster engines for use in our Atlas launch vehicles. Terms of the agreement call for payments to be made to RD AMROSS upon the achievement of certain milestones in the development and manufacturing processes. Approximately $53 million of payments made under this agreement for engines not yet delivered were included in inventories at March 31, 2003 ($61 million at December 31, 2002).

OTHER MATTERS

 

As of the end of 2002, the global telecommunications services businesses identified for divestiture in 2001 had been sold, except for Lockheed Martin Intersputnik (LMI). We reached an agreement to sell LMI in the third quarter of 2002; however, in April 2003, the agreement was terminated. We are continuing to treat LMI as a discontinued operation, as we are still holding and actively marketing the business for sale. The operating results of LMI had no impact on the statement of earnings for the first quarter of 2003. LMI was carried at estimated fair value less cost to sell at March 31, 2003, and its assets and liabilities, which represented less than 1% of our consolidated assets and liabilities, respectively, were included in our balance sheet in other current assets and other current liabilities. Changes in the estimated fair value of LMI will be recorded in the future if appropriate.

 

We provide products and services to NASA, including the Space Shuttle program, mainly through our Space Systems and Technology Services business segments. Work for NASA accounted for approximately 6% of our consolidated net sales in 2002, of which about one-half was related to the Space Shuttle program. We also have a 50% equity interest in United Space Alliance, LLC which provides ground processing and other operational services to the Space Shuttle program. We are continuing to work with NASA and others in the investigation of the tragic accident in February 2003 involving the Space Shuttle Columbia. We do not expect that the effects of this accident will have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows for 2003. Pending completion of the investigation, it is too early to determine whether the accident will affect our business operations beyond 2003.

 

As described in Note 5 to the financial statements, we are continuing to pursue recovery of a significant portion of the unanticipated costs we incurred for a $180 million fixed-price contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) for the remediation of waste found in Pit 9. We have been unsuccessful to date in reaching agreement with the DoE on cost recovery or other contract restructuring matters. In 1998, the management contractor for the project, a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, at the DoE’s direction, terminated the Pit 9 contract for default. We sued the DoE in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims seeking to overturn the default termination and to recover our costs. The management contractor, at the DoE’s direction, sued us in the U.S. District Court in Idaho seeking, among other things, recovery of about $54 million previously paid to us under the contract. We filed counterclaims, again seeking to overturn the default termination and recover our costs. In 2001, the Court of Federal Claims dismissed our lawsuit against the DoE, finding that we lacked privity of contract with the DoE. On September 30, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the dismissal. We did not appeal the decision further and will continue to seek resolution of the Pit 9 dispute through non-litigation means while pursuing our remedies in the Idaho proceeding, which is set for trial in August 2003.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure of Market Risk

 

Our main exposure to market risk relates to interest rates and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency exchange rates. Our financial instruments that are subject to interest rate risk principally include fixed-rate long-term debt. Our long-term debt obligations are generally not callable until maturity. We sometimes use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to fixed and variable interest rates. At the end of the first quarter of 2003, we had agreements in place to swap fixed interest rates on approximately $720 million of our long-term debt for variable interest rates based on LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as effective hedges of the fair value of the underlying fixed-rate debt instruments. At March 31, 2003, the fair values of interest rate swap agreements outstanding were not material. The amounts of gains and losses from changes in the fair values of the swap agreements were entirely offset by those from changes in the fair value of the associated debt obligations. The interest rate swaps create a market exposure to changes in the LIBOR rate. To the extent that the LIBOR index on which the swaps are based increases or decreases by 1%, our interest expense would increase or decrease by $7 million on a pretax basis. Changes in swap rates would affect the market value of the agreements, but those changes in value would be offset by changes in value of the underlying debt obligations. A 1% rise in swap rates from those prevailing at March 31, 2003 would result in a decrease in market value of approximately $9 million. A 1% decline would increase the market value by a like amount.

 

We use forward foreign exchange contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. These contracts are designated as qualifying hedges of the cash flows associated with firm commitments or specific anticipated transactions, and related gains and losses on the contracts, to the extent they are effective hedges, are recognized in income when the hedged transaction occurs. To the extent the hedges are ineffective, gains and losses on the contracts are recognized currently. At March 31, 2003, the fair value of forward exchange contracts outstanding, as well as the amounts of gains and losses recorded during the quarter then ended, were not material. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our periodic filings with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily is required to use its judgment in evaluating the cost to benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, we have investments in certain unconsolidated entities. As we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to those entities are necessarily substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, we performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, and under the supervision of the CEO and CFO. Based on the evaluation, our management, including the CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal controls after the date we completed the evaluation.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Numerous factors, including potentially the following factors, could affect the Corporation’s forward-looking statements and actual performance: the ability to obtain or the timing of obtaining future government awards; the availability of government funding and customer requirements both domestically and internationally; changes in government or customer priorities due to program reviews or revisions to strategic objectives (including changes in priorities in response to Operation Iraqi Freedom and terrorist threats, or to improve homeland security); difficulties in developing and producing operationally advanced technology systems; the level of returns on pension and retirement plan assets; the competitive environment; economic, business and political conditions both domestically and internationally; program performance and the timing of contract payments (including the ability to perform fixed-price contracts within estimated costs and considering subcontractor performance); the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries and launches; the termination of programs or contracts for convenience by customers; the ability to achieve savings through cost-cutting and other financial management programs; government import and export policies; the ability to procure insurance to cover operational and contractual risks, including launch and satellite failures, on commercially reasonable terms; and the outcome of contingencies (including completion of acquisitions and divestitures, litigation and environmental remediation efforts).

 

Realization of the value of the Corporation’s investments in equity securities, or related equity earnings for a given period, may be affected by an investee’s ability to obtain adequate funding and execute its business plan, general market conditions, industry considerations specific to the investee’s business, and/or other factors.

 

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements which speak only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. The Corporation does not undertake any obligation to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this Form 10-Q, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The forward-looking statements in this document are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by Sections 27A of the Securities Act and 21E of the Exchange Act.

 

For a discussion identifying some important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the Corporation’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings including, but not limited to, the discussions of “Government Contracts and Regulations” and “Risk Factors and Forward-Looking Statements” on pages 19 through 20 and pages 23 through 28, respectively, of the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

 

Lockheed Martin Corporation

 

 

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

 

The Corporation is a party to or has property subject to litigation and other proceedings, including matters arising under provisions relating to the protection of the environment, as described in “Note 5 – Contingencies” of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, and in the Corporation’s 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Form 10-K), or arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the probability is remote that the outcome of any such litigation or other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Corporation’s results of operations or financial position.

 

The Corporation is primarily engaged in providing products and services under contracts with the U.S. Government and, to a lesser degree, under direct foreign sales contracts, some of which are funded by the U.S. Government. These contracts are subject to extensive legal and regulatory requirements and, from time to time, agencies of the U.S. Government investigate whether the Corporation’s operations are being conducted in accordance with these requirements. U.S. Government investigations of the Corporation, whether relating to these contracts or conducted for other reasons, could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines or penalties being imposed upon the Corporation, or could lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracting. U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and many result in no adverse action against the Corporation. For the U.S. Government investigations described in the Corporation’s Form 10-K, it is too early for Lockheed Martin to determine whether adverse decisions relating to these investigations could ultimately have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position.

 

We are subject to federal and state requirements for protection of the environment, including those for discharge of hazardous materials and remediation of contaminated sites. As a result, we are a party to or have our property subject to various other lawsuits or proceedings involving environmental protection matters. Due in part to their complexity and pervasiveness, such requirements have resulted in our being involved with related legal proceedings, claims and remediation obligations. The extent of our financial exposure cannot in all cases be reasonably estimated at this time. For information regarding these matters, including current estimates of the amounts that we believe are required for remediation or clean-up to the extent estimable, see Note 5 - Contingencies on page 10 through page 12 and “Other Matters” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition on page 26 of this Form 10-Q.

 

In addition, see the “Legal Proceedings” section of the Form 10-K for a description of previously reported matters.

 

As previously reported, a consolidated third amended complaint was filed against the Corporation and certain of its officers and directors in the United States District Court for

the Central District of California, In re Lockheed Martin Corp. Securities Litigation. On March 26, 2003, the court dismissed with prejudice the complaint against the Corporation and all individual defendants in that lawsuit. Plaintiffs have filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

 

As previously reported, a federal grand jury was investigating whether hazardous waste was properly stored and handled at the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Paducah, Kentucky. On March 19, 2003, the Department of Justice advised the Corporation that the investigation has been closed.

 

As previously reported, in a lawsuit filed against the Corporation in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Space Systems/Loral alleged our series 3000, 4000, 5000, 7000 and A2100 satellites infringed a Space Systems/Loral patent. On March 19, 2003, the court granted the Corporation’s motion for summary judgment ruling that the Space Systems/Loral patent was invalid.

 

As previously reported, the SEC has been investigating the disclosures regarding the regulatory approval of the proposed merger between the Corporation and Northrop Grumman, which was announced in 1997 and terminated in 1998. On May 1, 2003, the SEC advised the Corporation that the investigation was closed.

BYLAWS

 

OF

 

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORPORATION

 

(Incorporated under the laws of Maryland, August 26, 1994, and herein referred to as the “Corporation”)

 

ARTICLE I

 

STOCKHOLDERS

 

Section 1.01. ANNUAL MEETINGS.    The Corporation shall hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Corporation at such date during the month of April in each year as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Subject to Article I, Section 1.11 of these Bylaws, any business of the Corporation may be transacted at such annual meeting. Failure to hold an annual meeting at the designated time shall not, however, invalidate the corporate existence or affect otherwise valid corporate acts.

 

Section 1.02. SPECIAL MEETINGS.    At any time in the interval between annual meetings, special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, or by the Board of Directors or by the Executive Committee by vote at a meeting or in writing with or without a meeting. Special meetings of stockholders shall also be called by the Secretary of the Corporation on the written request of stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting.

 

Section 1.03. PLACE OF MEETINGS.    All meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place within the United States as may be designated in the notice of meeting.

 

Section 1.04. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.    Not less than thirty (30) days nor more than ninety (90) days before the date of every stockholders’ meeting, the Secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and each other stockholder entitled to notice of the meeting, written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, either by mail or by presenting it to him or her personally or by leaving it at his or her residence or usual place of business. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at his or her post office address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision for notice, a waiver of notice in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to such notice and filed with the records of the meeting, whether before or after the holding thereof, or actual attendance at the meeting in person or by proxy, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such notice to such


 

persons. Any meeting of stockholders, annual or special, may adjourn from time to time without further notice to a date not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original record date at the same or some other place.

 

Section 1.05. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.    Each meeting of stockholders shall be conducted in accordance with such rules and procedures as the Board of Directors may determine subject to the requirements of applicable law and the Charter. The Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence the Chief Executive Officer, or in their absence the person designated in writing by the Chairman of the Board, or if no person is so designated, then a person designated by the Board of Directors, shall preside as chairman of the meeting; if no person is so designated, then the meeting shall choose a chairman by a majority of all votes cast at a meeting at which a quorum is present. The Secretary or in the absence of the Secretary a person designated by the chairman of the meeting shall act as secretary of the meeting.

 

Section 1.06. QUORUM.    At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of the votes thereat shall constitute a quorum; but this section shall not affect any requirement under statute or under the Charter of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. In the absence of a quorum, the stockholders present in person or by proxy, by majority vote and without further notice, may adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days after the original record date until a quorum shall attend. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

 

Section 1.07. VOTES REQUIRED.    Unless applicable law or the Charter of the Corporation provides otherwise, at a meeting of stockholders, the vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at a meeting, duly called and at which a quorum is present, shall be required to take or authorize action upon any matter which may properly come before the meeting. Unless the Charter provides for a greater or lesser number of votes per share or limits or denies voting rights, each outstanding share of stock, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders; but no share shall be entitled to any vote if any installment payable thereon is overdue and unpaid.

 

Section 1.08. PROXIES.    A stockholder may vote shares of the Corporation’s capital stock that are entitled to be voted and are owned of record by such stockholder either in person or by proxy in any manner permitted by Section 2-507 of the Maryland General Corporation Law, as in effect from time to time. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven (11) months after its date, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

 

Section 1.09. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS.    At each meeting of stockholders, a true and complete list of all stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, stating the number and class of shares held by each, shall be furnished by the Secretary.

 

Section 1.10. INSPECTORS OF ELECTION.    In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may appoint Inspectors of Election to act at such meeting or at

 

2


 

any adjournment or adjournments thereof. If such Inspectors are not so appointed or fail or refuse to act, the chairman of any such meeting, upon the demand of stockholders present in person or by proxy entitled to cast 25% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting, shall make such appointments.

 

If there are three (3) or more Inspectors of Election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority shall be effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. The Inspectors of Election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the voting power of each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; shall receive votes, ballots, assents or consents, hear and determine all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the vote, count and tabulate all votes, assents and consents, and determine the result; and do such acts as may be proper to conduct the election and the vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request, the Inspectors shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them, and shall make and execute a certificate of any fact found by them.

 

No such Inspector need be a stockholder of the Corporation.

 

Section 1.11. DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS AND STOCKHOLDER BUSINESS.

 

(a) Nominations and Stockholder Business at Annual Meetings of Stockholders.    Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.11(a), who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11(a).

 

For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one-hundred twenty (120) days prior to the first anniversary of the date of mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of mailing of the notice for the annual meeting is advanced or delayed by more than thirty (30) days from the anniversary date of mailing of the notice for the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of mailing of the notice for such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of mailing of the notice for such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of mailing of the notice for such meeting is first made. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth (i) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (A) the name, age, business address and residence address of such person, (B) the class and number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that are beneficially owned by such person, and (C) all other information

 

3


 

relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A (or any successor provision) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (including such person’s written consent to being named in the proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected); (ii) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder (including any anticipated benefit to the stockholder therefrom) and of each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (iii) as to the stockholder giving the notice and each beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made, (x) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner and (y) the class and number of shares of stock of the Corporation which are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11 to the contrary, in the event that Section 2.02 of these Bylaws is amended, altered or repealed so as to increase or decrease the maximum or minimum number of directors and there is no public announcement of such action at least one-hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.11(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

 

(b) Director Nominations and Stockholder Business at Special Meetings of Stockholders.    Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting. Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting, (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (iii) provided that the Board of Directors has determined that directors shall be elected at such special meeting, by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of notice provided for in this Section 1.11, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. In the event the Corporation calls a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board, any such stockholder may nominate a person or persons (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, if the stockholder’s notice required by paragraph (a) of this Section 1.11 shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not earlier than the one-hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such special meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting.

 

(c) General.  Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 and Article II, Section 2.04 shall be eligible to serve as directors

 

4


 

and only such business shall be conducted at a meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11. The chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.11 and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with this Section 1.11, to declare that such defective nomination or proposal be disregarded.

 

For purposes of this Section 1.11, (a) the “date of mailing of the notice” shall mean the date of the proxy statement for the solicitation of proxies for election of directors and (b) “public announcement” shall mean disclosure (i) in a press release reported by the Dow Jones New Service, Associated Press or comparable news service or (ii) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.11, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of state law and of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 1.11. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals, nor the right of the Corporation to omit a proposal from, in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 (or any successor provision) under the Exchange Act.

 

ARTICLE II

No person, other than a person granted an exemption from this provision by the Board of Directors,

 

5


 

shall be eligible to be elected as a director for a term which expires after the first annual meeting of stockholders after he or she reaches the age of 70 years.

 

Section 2.04. CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD.    The Board of Directors shall designate from its membership a Chairman of the Board, who shall preside at all meetings of the stockholders and of the Board of Directors. He may sign with the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary certificates of stock of the Corporation, and he shall perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2.05. REMOVAL.    Any director or the Board of Directors may be removed from office as a director at any time, but only for cause, by the affirmative vote at a duly called meeting of stockholders of at least 80% of the votes which all holders of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation would be entitled to cast at an annual election of directors, voting together as a single class.

 

Section 2.06. VACANCIES.    Vacancies in the Board of Directors, except for vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors, shall be filled only by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, though less than a quorum, except that vacancies resulting from removal from office by a vote of the stockholders may be filled by the stockholders at the same meeting at which such removal occurs. Vacancies resulting from an increase in the number of directors shall be filled only by a majority vote of the Board of Directors. Any director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor will have been elected and qualified.

 

Section 2.07. REGULAR MEETINGS.    After each meeting of stockholders at which a Board of Directors, or any class thereof, shall have been elected, the Board of Directors shall meet as soon as practicable for the purpose of organization and the transaction of other business, at such time and place within or without the State of Maryland as may be designated by the Board of Directors. Other regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held on such dates and at such places within or without the State of Maryland as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 2.08. SPECIAL MEETINGS.    Special meetings of the Board of Directors may be called at any time, at any place, and for any purpose by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chairman of the Executive Committee, any three (3) directors, or by any officer of the Corporation upon the request of a majority of the Board.

 

Section 2.09. NOTICE OF MEETINGS.    Notice of the place, day, and hour of every regular and special meeting of the Board of Directors shall be given to each director twenty-four (24) hours (or more) before the meeting, by telephoning the notice to such director, or by delivering the notice to him or her personally, or by sending the notice to him or her by telegraph, or by facsimile, or by leaving the notice at his or her residence or usual place of business, or, in the alternative, by mailing such notice three (3) days (or more) before the meeting, postage prepaid, and addressed to him or her at his or her last known post office address, according to the records of the Corporation. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, properly addressed, with postage thereon prepaid. If notice be given by

 

6


 

telegram or by facsimile, such notice shall be deemed to be given when the telegram is delivered to the telegraph company or when the facsimile is transmitted. If the notice be given by telephone or by personal delivery, such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time of the communication or delivery. Unless required by these Bylaws or by resolution of the Board of Directors, no notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need state the business to be transacted thereat. No notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors need be given to any director who attends or to any director who, in a writing executed and filed with the records of the meeting either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice. Any meeting of the Board of Directors, regular or special, may adjourn from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and no further notice need be given of any such adjourned meeting.

 

Section 2.10. PRESENCE AT MEETING.    Members of the Board, or of any committee thereof, may participate in a meeting by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in this manner shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

Section 2.11. PRESIDING OFFICER AND SECRETARY AT MEETINGS.    Each meeting of the Board of Directors shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or in his or her absence by the Chief Executive Officer or if neither is present by such member of the Board of Directors as shall be chosen by the meeting. The Secretary, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, shall act as secretary of the meeting, or if no such officer is present, a secretary of the meeting shall be designated by the person presiding over the meeting.

 

Section 2.12. QUORUM.    At all meetings of the Board of Directors, a majority of the Board of Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. Except in cases in which it is by statute, by the Charter, or by the Bylaws otherwise provided, the vote of a majority of such quorum at a duly constituted meeting shall be sufficient to pass any measure. In the absence of a quorum, the directors present by majority vote and without notice other than by announcement may adjourn the meeting from time to time until a quorum shall be present. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

 

Section 2.13. COMPENSATION.    Directors shall not receive any stated salary for their services as Directors but, by resolution of the Board of Directors, annual retainers, fees and expenses of attendance, if any, may be provided to Directors for attendance at each annual, regular or special meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof; but nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.

 

Section 2.14. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS.    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Corporations and Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of stock of the Corporation. This section may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of

Section 3.03. AUDIT AND ETHICS COMMITTEE.    The Board of Directors by resolution adopted by a majority of the Board of Directors shall provide for an Audit and Ethics Committee of three or more directors who are not officers or employees of the Corporation, who are free from any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of the independent judgment of each member as a Committee member, and who otherwise meet financial experience requirements as interpreted by the Board of Directors. The members of the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be elected by the Board of Directors to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate from among the membership of the Audit and Ethics Committee a chairman. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall, except when such powers are by statute or this charter or the Bylaws either reserved to the full Board of Directors or delegated to another committee of the Board of Directors, possess and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors relating to all accounting and auditing matters of this Corporation. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall:

 

    recommend to the Board of Directors the selection, retention or termination of the independent auditors, who will be ultimately accountable to the Board of Directors and the Audit and Ethics Committee of the Corporation;

 

    ensure that the independent auditors submit on a periodic basis to the Audit and Ethics Committee a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the independent auditor and the Corporation, be responsible for actively engaging in a dialogue with the independent auditors with respect to any disclosed relationships or services that may impact the objectivity and independence of the independent auditors, and be responsible for recommending that the Board of Directors take appropriate action in response to the independent auditors’ report to satisfy itself of the independent auditors’ independence;

 

    prior to the end of the Corporation’s fiscal year shall review the scope and timing of the work to be performed and the compensation to be paid to the independent auditors selected by the Board;

 

    review with the Corporation’s management and the independent auditors the financial accounting and reporting principles appropriate for the Corporation, the policies and procedures concerning audits, accounting and financial controls, and any recommendations to improve existing practices, and the qualifications and work of the Corporation’s internal audit staff;

 

    require that the independent auditors advise the Audit and Ethics Committee through its Chair and the Corporation’s management of any matters identified during reviews of interim quarterly financial statements which are required to be communicated to the Audit and Ethics Committee by the independent auditors under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, and that the independent auditors provide such communication prior to the related quarterly press release or, if not practicable, prior to filing the related Form 10-Q;

 

    review with management and the independent auditors the financial statements to be included in the Corporation’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, including the independent auditors’ judgment about the quality, not just acceptability, of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements; and

 

9


 

    review with the independent auditors the results of their annual audit, their report and any other matters required to be communicated to the Audit and Ethics Committee by the independent auditors under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.

 

The Audit and Ethics Committee shall also:

 

    review the scope of the internal audit staff’s work plan for the year and, as appropriate, review significant findings and management’s actions to address these findings;

 

    monitor compliance with the Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct, and review and resolve all matters of concern presented to it by the Corporate Ethics Committee or the Corporate Ethics Office;

 

    review and monitor on a periodic basis the adequacy of the Corporation’s policies and procedures with respect to environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including the Corporation’s record of compliance with such laws and regulations; and

 

    review with the General Counsel the status of pending claims, litigation and other legal matters on a periodic basis.

 

The Audit and Ethics Committee shall have the power to investigate any matter falling within its jurisdiction, and it shall also perform such other functions and exercise such other powers as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall hold four meetings each year, and shall separately meet in executive session with the Corporation’s independent auditors and internal audit department representative. The Audit and Ethics Committee shall review and reassess the Audit and Ethics Committee charter at least annually and make recommendations to the Board of Directors, as appropriate. All action by the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its next meeting succeeding such action and shall be subject to revision and alteration by the Board of Directors. Vacancies in the Audit and Ethics Committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors. While the Audit and Ethics Committee has the responsibilities and powers set forth in this charter, it is not the duty of the Audit and Ethics Committee to plan or conduct audits or to determine that the Corporation’s financial statements are complete and accurate and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. This is the responsibility of management and the independent auditors. Nor is it the duty of the Audit and Ethics Committee to conduct investigations, to resolve disagreements, if any, between management and the independent auditors, or to assure compliance with laws and regulations and the Corporation’s Code of Ethics and Business Conduct.

The Management Development and Compensation Committee shall also perform such other functions and exercise such other powers as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors. All action by the Management Development and Compensation Committee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its meeting next succeeding such action and shall be subject to revision and alteration by the Board of Directors.

If provision is made for a Stock Option Subcommittee, the members of the Stock Option Subcommittee shall be elected by the Board of Directors to serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall designate from among the membership of the Stock Option Subcommittee a chairman. The Stock Option Subcommittee shall serve as the Stock Option Subcommittee of the Board and shall administer any performance-based executive compensation plan and approve awards granted thereunder. The Stock Option Subcommittee shall also perform such other functions and exercise such other powers as may be delegated to it from time to time by the Board of Directors. All action by the Stock Option Subcommittee shall be reported to the Board of Directors at its meeting next succeeding such action and shall be subject to revision and alteration by the Board of Directors.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will recommend to the Board the role of the Board in the corporate governance process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall recommend to the Board of Directors nominees for election to fill any vacancy occurring in the Board and to fill new positions created by an increase in the authorized number of directors of the Corporation. Annually the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall recommend to the Board of Directors a slate of directors to serve as management’s nominees for election by the stockholders at the annual meeting. Vacancies in the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be filled by the Board of Directors.

 

Section 3.06. OTHER COMMITTEES.    The Board of Directors may by resolution provide for such other standing or special committees, composed of two (2) or more directors, and discontinue the same at its pleasure.

Except in cases in which it is otherwise provided by the rules of such committee or by resolution of the Board of Directors, the vote of a majority of such quorum at a duly constituted meeting shall be sufficient to pass any measure.

Such indemnification shall be against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties, and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred by the individual in connection with such proceeding; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to indemnify a person in connection with an action, suit or proceeding initiated by such person unless the action, suit or proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

 

Section 6.02. STANDARD.    Maryland General Corporation Law Section 2-418, on August 29, 1994, provided generally that a corporation may indemnify any individual made a party to a proceeding by reason of service on behalf of the corporation unless it is established that:

(1) Was committed in bad faith; or

 

(2) Was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty; or

 

(ii) The individual actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property, or services; or

 

(iii) In the case of any criminal proceeding, the individual had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful.

 

Section 6.03. ADVANCE PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.    The Corporation shall pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of a final disposition of the proceeding and without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate entitlement to indemnification provided that the individual first provides the Corporation with: (a) a written affirmation of the individual’s good faith belief that the individual meets the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification under the laws of the State of Maryland; and (b) a written undertaking by or on behalf of the individual to

 

16


repay the amount advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of conduct has not been met.

 

Section 6.04. GENERAL.    The Board of Directors, by resolution, may authorize the management of the Corporation to act for and on behalf of the Corporation in all matters relating to indemnification within any such limits as may be specified from time to time by the Board of Directors, all consistent with applicable law.

 

The rights conferred on any person by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other rights which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Charter of the Corporation, these Bylaws, agreement, vote of the stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

 

Repeal or modification of this Article VI or the relevant law shall not affect adversely any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any facts then or theretofore existing or any action, suit or proceeding theretofore or thereafter brought or threatened based in whole or in part upon any such facts.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

SUNDRY PROVISIONS

 

Section 7.01. SEAL.    The corporate seal of the Corporation shall bear the name of the Corporation and the words “Incorporated 1994 Maryland” and “Corporate Seal.”

The Board of Directors or Chairman, however, may by resolution or delegation appoint some other person or persons to vote such shares, in which case such person or persons shall be entitled to vote such shares upon the production of a certified copy of such resolution or delegation.

 

Section 7.03. AMENDMENTS.    The Board of Directors shall have the exclusive power, at any regular or special meeting thereof, to make and adopt new Bylaws, or to amend, alter, or repeal any Bylaws of the Corporation, provided such revisions are not inconsistent with the Charter or statute.
