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

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and notes to consolidated financial statements herein and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K).

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

We are a global aerospace and defense technology company that builds and sustains the solutions America and its allies need to deter conflict and advance national security and scientific exploration objectives. Our four business areas – Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control, Rotary and Mission Systems, and Space – work as one company offering integrated solutions, at scale, across all warfighting domains. Our defense, space, intelligence, homeland security, information technology, and cybersecurity capabilities serve U.S. and international customers in defense, civil and commercial applications. Our principal customers are agencies of the U.S. Government and allies. During the six months ended June 28, 2026, 70% of our $38.1 billion in sales were from the U.S. Government, either as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor (including 61% from U.S. Department of War (DoW), also known as the Department of Defense under 10 U.S.C. § 111(a)), and 30% were from international customers (including foreign military sales (FMS) contracted through the U.S. Government).

Global Security

We operate in a complex and evolving global security environment. Conflicts or tensions in areas such as the Middle East, Europe, and the Pacific region have heightened tensions and highlighted security requirements globally, including in these regions as well as the U.S. Although these tensions and conflicts may drive interest in specific products or services as countries seek to improve their security posture, our business primarily operates on a long-cycle basis. As a result, the U.S. Government has been broadly focused on increasing industry capacity to meet long-term demand. We are working with the U.S. Government, international partners, and our supply chain with the objective of increasing capacity and enhancing our ability to scale operations to anticipated demand. We expect these efforts will enable us to deliver critical capabilities and replenish depleted U.S. and allied stockpiles, although there can be no assurance that production capacity will increase at the rate or to the extent we or our customers expect due to supply chain constraints, workforce limitations, government funding decisions, and other factors described in our risk factors.

Global Economic and Geopolitical Environment

Our business and financial performance are impacted by a combination of macroeconomic factors, such as inflationary pressures, impacts from technological change, and market volatility, as well as operational challenges, including supply chain delays and disruptions, and workforce challenges and labor shortfalls. These factors have contributed, and may continue to contribute, to increased costs, delays, disruptions and other performance challenges, as well as competing demands for limited resources to address such increased costs and other challenges, for our company, our suppliers and partners, and our customers.

We have experienced, and continue to experience, supply chain challenges, including supplier shortages and performance issues. Although on‑time deliveries have generally been steady, pressures remain in certain areas, and we are proactively working with our suppliers to meet our contract commitments. In addition, macroeconomic conditions including elevated levels of inflation present risks for us, our suppliers and the stability of the broader defense industrial base. Supply chain challenges, including both the availability and cost of goods, may be further impacted due to the imposition of tariffs and the availability of raw materials including rare earth minerals. We continue to work to mitigate challenges caused by the supply chain or current macroeconomic environment on our business, including by deploying resources to work with our supply chain, securing materials and support by executing long-term contracts, enforcing existing contract terms, identifying alternative sources, collaborating with our customers to address industry-wide challenges, and optimizing our supply chain organization through digital transformation and workforce development. If we experience significant supply chain issues or high rates of inflation, and are unable to successfully mitigate the impact, our future profits, margins and cash flows, particularly for existing fixed-price contracts, may be adversely affected. We remain committed to our ongoing efforts to increase the efficiency of our operations and improve the cost competitiveness and affordability of our products and services, which may, in part, offset cost increases from inflation.

Certain materials and component parts that go into making our products are imported into the U.S. and are subject to tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, export and import controls, and other trade restrictions. Changes in trade policies,

including tariffs and other restrictions, may affect the cost or availability of certain materials and components. While we continue to monitor these developments and pursue mitigation strategies where appropriate, excluding the near-term cash flow impact, we do not currently expect existing tariffs to have a material long-term impact on our results of operations. Through the six months ended June 28, 2026, we have received approximately $140 million in refunds related to prior tariff assessments.

Significant changes in tax, trade, or other policies either in the U.S. or other countries, as well as any fluctuation in foreign exchange rates as a result of such activity, could materially increase our tax burden, the price we pay for materials and component parts, the price our customers pay, and result in delays in products received or non-delivery from our suppliers as well as impact the availability of materials (including rare earth minerals), which could materially impact our business and financial results.

In addition, recent government actions relating to rare earth minerals that are used in certain of our products have raised concerns about supply availability. We are monitoring the rare earth minerals supply chain and maintaining active engagement with our suppliers as the regulatory landscape evolves. If we are unable to successfully mitigate disruptions to the availability of rare earth minerals, our future profits, margins and cash flows may be adversely affected.

For additional risks to the company related to the geopolitical and economic environment, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Form 10-K.

U.S. Government Budget Environment

Our primary customer is the U.S. Government, from which we derived 70% of our sales during the six months ended June 28, 2026, including 61% from the DoW. Funding for U.S. Government programs is subject to a variety of factors that can affect our business, including the Administration’s budget requests and procurement priorities and policies, annual congressional budget authorization and appropriation processes, and other U.S. Government domestic and international priorities. U.S. Government spending levels, particularly defense spending, and timely funding thereof can affect our financial performance over the short and long term.

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2026 was signed into law on December 18, 2025. This legislation authorizes $901 billion for national defense. On February 3, 2026, the President signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which provided $839.2 billion of discretionary funding for national defense through September 30, 2026, an increase of $8.4 billion over the President’s FY2026 Budget Request. Separately, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Tax Act), signed into law on July 4, 2025, provides more than $150 billion of additional mandatory funding for Defense that is available through September 30, 2029.

On April 3, 2026, the Administration released the FY 2027 Defense topline request. The FY 2027 proposal seeks a historic $1.5 trillion defense budget, driven by a large discretionary base request and an additional $350 billion of mandatory funding through reconciliation. It emphasizes a $760 billion weapons‑procurement and modernization effort—highlighting commitment to munitions framework deals, Golden Dome missile defense, a major shipbuilding program, and an increase in F‑35 purchases. The FY 2027 proposal is subject to Congressional appropriation, and there can be no assurance that it will be enacted at the levels proposed or that increases in authorized quantities will translate into increased orders for our programs within any particular timeframe.

Despite the Administration indicating their desire for a significant increase in defense spending in FY 2027, we anticipate the federal budget, additional potential tax law changes, and regulatory environment will continue to be subject to debate and compromise shaped by, among other things, the Administration and Congress, heightened political tensions, the global security environment, inflationary pressures, and macroeconomic conditions. The result may be shifting funding priorities, which could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and our programs. Additionally, the Administration continues to take steps to evaluate government-wide and defense-specific staffing and procurement, which includes assessing mission priorities, procurement methods, program performance, and other factors and then potentially taking action based on those assessments. Those actions remain uncertain and could result in impacts to both our current and future business prospects and financial performance.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Our operating cycle is primarily long-term and involves many types of contracts for the design, development, manufacture, integration, and sustainment of products and related activities with varying delivery schedules. Additionally, we close our books and records on the last Sunday of each month, except for the month of December, as our fiscal year ends on December 31, to align our financial closing with our business processes. Because of this, the number of weeks in a reporting quarter may vary slightly during the year and for comparable prior year periods. Consequently, the results of operations of a particular year, or year-to-year comparisons of sales and profits, may not be indicative of future operating results. The following discussions of comparative results should be reviewed in this context. All per share amounts cited in these discussions are presented on a “per diluted share” basis, unless otherwise noted.

Our consolidated results of operations were as follows (in millions, except per share data):

Sales

We generate sales from the delivery of products and services to our customers. Our consolidated sales were as follows (in millions):

[[GREPCENT_TABLE]]
[["","","2025","","","2024","","","2023"],["Products","","$","62,654","","","","$","59,277","","","","$","56,265"],["% of total sales","","83.5","","%","","83.4","","%","","83.3","","%"],["Services","","12,394","","","","11,766","","","","11,306"],["% of total sales","","16.5","","%","","16.6","","%","","16.7","","%"],["Total sales","","$","75,048","","","","$","71,043","","","","$","67,571"]]
[[/GREPCENT_TABLE]]

Substantially all of our contracts are accounted for using the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method. Under the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method, we record sales on contracts over time based upon our progress towards completion on a particular contract, as well as our estimate of the profit to be earned at completion. The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated sales should be read in tandem with the subsequent discussion of changes in our consolidated operating costs and expenses and our business segment results of operations because changes in our sales are typically accompanied by a corresponding change in our operating costs and expenses due to the nature of the percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method.

Product Sales

Product sales increased $3.4 billion, or 6%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher product sales of approximately $1.7 billion at MFC, $1.0 billion at Aeronautics, and $475 million at Space. Higher product sales at MFC were due to production ramp-up on Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) and precision fires programs. Higher product sales at Aeronautics were due to higher volume on F-35 production contracts, partially offset by the unfavorable cumulative adjustment to sales driven by recognizing a reach-forward loss on a classified contract in the second quarter of 2025. Higher product sales at Space were due to higher volume on Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM), Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) and Orion programs, partially offset by the impact of program lifecycle in the OPIR mission.

Service Sales

Service sales increased $628 million, or 5%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase in service sales was primarily due to higher sales of approximately $620 million at Aeronautics as a result of higher volume on F-35 sustainment contracts.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Operating costs and expenses, for both products and services, consist of materials, labor, subcontracting costs and an allocation of indirect costs (overhead and general and administrative), as well as the costs to fulfill our industrial cooperation agreements, sometimes referred to as offset agreements, required under certain contracts with international customers. For each of our contracts, we monitor the nature and amount of costs at the contract level, which form the basis for estimating our total costs to complete the contract. Our consolidated operating costs and expenses was as follows (in millions):

The following discussion of material changes in our consolidated operating costs and expenses for products and services should be read in tandem with the preceding discussion of changes in our consolidated sales and our business segment results of operations. Except for potential impacts to our programs resulting from supply chain disruptions, inflation, and tariffs, we have not identified any additional developing trends in operating costs and expenses for products and services that could have a material impact on our future operations.

Product Costs

Product costs increased $2.2 billion, or 4%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher product costs of approximately $1.5 billion at Aeronautics, $285 million at Space and $225 million at RMS. Higher product costs at Aeronautics were due to higher volume and the impact of recognizing a reach-forward loss on a classified contract previously described in “Product Sales”. Higher product costs at Space were due to higher volume, partially offset by the impact of program lifecycle previously described in “Product Sales”. Higher product costs at RMS were due to higher production volume on Black Hawk programs and the impact of recognizing reach-forward losses on TUHP in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by lower production volume on Seahawk programs.

Service Costs

Service costs increased approximately $1.1 billion, or 11%, in 2025 as compared to 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher service costs of approximately $540 million at Aeronautics and $425 million at RMS. Higher service costs at Aeronautics were due to higher volume as described above in “Service Sales”. Higher service costs at RMS were due to the impact of recognizing a reach-forward loss on Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) as previously described.

Impairment and Other Charges

We recorded charges totaling $66 million ($52 million, or $0.22 per share, after-tax) in 2025 and $87 million ($69 million, or $0.29 per share, after-tax) in 2024. See “Note 16 – Impairment and Other Charges” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Other Unallocated, Net

Other unallocated, net primarily includes the FAS/CAS pension operating adjustment (which represents the difference between total CAS pension cost recorded in our business segments’ results of operations and the service cost component of FAS pension (expense) income), stock-based compensation expense, changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities for deferred compensation plans, intangible asset amortization expense and other corporate costs. These items are not allocated to the business segments and, therefore, are not allocated to operating costs and expenses for products or services. Other unallocated, net reduced operating expenses by $996 million and $1.0 billion in 2025 and 2024. The fluctuations in other unallocated, net for all periods were due to costs associated with various corporate items, none of which were individually significant.

Other Income, Net

Other income, net in 2025 was $112 million, compared to $83 million in 2024. Other income, net primarily includes earnings generated by equity method investees, as well as gains or losses for acquisitions, divestitures, and other items, none of which are individually significant. The increase in other income, net in 2025 resulted primarily from an intellectual property license arrangement and the Commercial Engine Solutions divestiture net working capital true-up.

Interest Expense

Interest expense in 2025 was $1.1 billion, compared to $1.0 billion in 2024. The increase in interest expense in 2025 resulted primarily from issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2025 and December 2024 and a higher intra-period outstanding balance of commercial paper. See “Capital Structure, Resources and Other” included within the “Liquidity and Cash Flows” discussion below and “Note 10 – Debt” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our debt.

Non-Service FAS Pension (Expense) Income

Non-service FAS pension expense in 2025 was $874 million, compared to non-service FAS pension income of $62 million in 2024. Non-service FAS pension expense in 2025 includes a noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $479 million ($377 million, or $1.63 per share, after-tax) in connection with the transfer of $943 million of our gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets to insurance companies in December 2025. Additionally, the increase in expense was primarily due to higher prior service cost amortization and a reduced asset base. See “Note 11 – Retirement Benefits” for more information.

Other Non-operating Income (Expense), Net

Other non-operating income, net primarily includes gains or losses related to adjustments in valuation of early-stage company investments or gains or losses upon the sale of these investments and interest income earned on cash and cash equivalents. Other non-operating income, net in 2025 was $183 million, compared to $181 million in 2024. See “Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies” included in our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective income tax rate was 15.3% for 2025 and 14.2% for 2024. The higher effective income tax rate in 2025 was attributable to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Tax Act) primarily driven by lower tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income partially offset by the favorable resolution of certain federal income tax audit items with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The rates for all periods benefited from research and development tax credits, dividends paid to our defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature, tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income and employee equity awards.

On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law the Tax Act. Key provisions include the permanent reinstatement of immediate expensing for domestic research expenditures, the restoration of full expensing for qualified machinery, equipment and other short-lived as
