The Corporation's updated outlook for 2009 diluted earnings per share primarily reflects the following revisions:
-- An unusual benefit of $0.15 related to resolution of an IRS
examination; and
-- an increase in Other non-operating income, net as a result of improved
market performance during the third quarter on Rabbi Trust assets.
The updated outlook for 2009 cash from operations anticipates that the Corporation will make at least a $1 billion discretionary contribution to the defined benefit pension plans' trust during the fourth quarter.

The outlook for 2010 earnings before income taxes and earnings per share assumes that the Corporation's 2010 non-cash FAS/CAS pension adjustment would be calculated using a discount rate of 6.125%, that the return on plan assets in 2009 would be approximately 8.5%, and that the Corporation will make a $1 billion discretionary contribution to the defined benefit pension plans' trust in 2009. The outlook for 2010 cash from operations anticipates that the Corporation will make additional contributions of approximately $1.4 billion to the defined benefit pension plans' trust during 2010. The Corporation anticipates recovering approximately $1 billion during 2010 as CAS cost, with the remainder being recoverable in future years.
The 2010 non-cash FAS/CAS pension adjustment and related assumptions will not be finalized until year-end 2009, consistent with the Corporation's pension plan measurement date. These assumptions may change and could differ materially at the year-end measurement date. For example, a 25 basis point change in the discount rate would result in a $95 million change in the FAS/CAS pension adjustment. Similarly, a 100 basis point change in the actual return on plan assets would result in a $10 million change in the FAS/CAS pension adjustment. The Corporation will update its FAS/CAS pension adjustment and projections for cash from operations taking into account any changes in required defined benefit plan funding obligations, as necessary, when it announces 2009 year-end financial results.
The research and development (R&D) tax credit expires on Dec. 31, 2009, and has not been incorporated into our outlook for 2010. The benefit of the R&D tax credit (approximately $0.11 per share for 2009) will not be incorporated into our 2010 outlook or results unless it is extended by Congress.
It is the Corporation's practice not to incorporate adjustments to its outlook for proposed acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, or unusual items until such transactions have been consummated.
Balanced Cash Deployment Strategy
The Corporation continued to execute its balanced cash deployment strategy during the quarter and nine months ended Sept. 27, 2009 by:
-- repurchasing 4.6 million shares at a cost of $354 million during the
quarter and 18.3 million shares at a cost of $1.4 billion during the
nine month period of the year;
-- paying cash dividends totaling $219 million during the quarter and
$668 million during the nine month period of the year;
-- investing $233 million during the quarter and $420 million during the
nine month period of the year for acquisitions of businesses and
investments in affiliates; and
-- making capital expenditures of $182 million during the quarter and
$481 million during the nine month period of the year.
Additionally, the Corporation increased its quarterly dividend 10.5 percent or $0.06 per share. The new quarterly dividend will be $0.63 per share payable Dec. 31, 2009 to its holders of record as of the close of business Dec. 1, 2009.

In our discussion of comparative results, changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed in terms of volume and/or performance. Volume refers to increases (or decreases) in sales resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries, or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes typically include a corresponding change in operating profit based on the estimated profit rate at completion for a particular contract for design, development, and production activities. Performance generally refers to changes in contract profit booking rates. These changes to our contracts for products usually relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to total estimated costs at completion of the contracts that reflect improved (or deteriorated) operating or award fee performance on a particular contract. Changes in contract profit booking rates on contracts for products are recognized by recording adjustments in the current period for the inception-to-date effect of the changes on current and prior periods. Recognition of the inception-to-date adjustment in the current or prior periods may affect the comparison of segment operating results.

Net sales for Electronic Systems increased by 4% for the quarter and 3% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, sales increases at Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) and Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC) more than offset a decline at Platforms & Training (P&T). The increase at MS2 mainly was due to higher volume on surface naval warfare, tactical systems and radar systems programs. The increase at M&FC primarily was due to growth on tactical missile and air defense programs. At P&T, lower volume on platform integration activities and distribution technology programs partially was offset by growth on simulation and training activities.
During the nine month period, sales increased in all three lines of business. The increase at M&FC primarily was attributable to higher volume on tactical missile programs. The increase at MS2 mainly was due to higher volume on surface naval warfare, tactical systems and radar systems programs, which partially were offset by declines in integrated defense technology programs. At P&T, higher volume on simulation and training activities partially was offset by lower volume on platform integration and distribution technology programs. The increase in simulation and training also included sales from the first quarter 2009 acquisition of Universal Systems and Technology, Inc.
Operating profit for Electronic Systems increased by 7% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, an increase in operating profit at M&FC more than offset declines at MS2 and P&T. The increase at M&FC mainly was due to higher volume and improved performance on tactical missile and air defense programs as well as improved performance on fire control systems. The decrease at MS2 primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on tactical systems and surface naval warfare programs. The decline at P&T resulted from lower volume on platform integration activities and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on distribution technology programs.
During the nine month period, increases in operating profit at M&FC and P&T more than offset a decline at MS2. The increase at M&FC mainly was due to higher volume on tactical missile programs and improved performance on fire control systems. The increase in P&T's operating profit primarily was attributable to improved performance on platform integration activities and the benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2009 from favorably resolving a simulation and training contract matter. These increases partially were offset by declines in volume and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on distribution technology programs. The decrease at MS2 primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on integrated defense technology and tactical systems programs.

Net sales for IS&GS increased by 1% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, the sales increase primarily was attributable to higher volume on enterprise civilian services in Civil. Sales for Defense and Intelligence were relatively unchanged between the quarters. During the nine month period, increases in Defense and Civil partially were offset by declines in Intelligence. Defense sales primarily increased due to higher volume on mission and combat systems activities and readiness and stability operations. Civil increased principally due to higher volume on enterprise civilian services. Intelligence sales declined slightly between periods mainly due to lower volume on enterprise integration activities.
Operating profit for IS&GS decreased by 9% for the quarter and 5% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, operating profit declined in Intelligence and Defense and remained unchanged in Civil. The decrease in Intelligence mainly was due to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on security solutions activities. The decrease in Defense primarily was attributable to performance on global programs.
During the nine month period, operating profit declines in Civil and Intelligence more than offset growth in Defense. The decrease in Civil primarily was attributable to the absence in 2009 of a benefit recognized in the first quarter of 2008 for a contract restructuring and the absence of a favorable performance adjustment recognized in the second quarter of 2008, both of which occurred on an enterprise civilian services program. The decrease in Intelligence mainly was due to lower volume on enterprise integration activities and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on security solution activities. The increase in Defense mainly was due to volume and improved performance in mission and combat systems and readiness and stability operations.
The prior period amounts for IS&GS have been reclassified to conform to its current lines of business (Civil, Defense and Intelligence). The realignment had no impact on the segment's operating results.

Net sales for Aeronautics increased by 6% for the quarter and 4% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. In both periods, sales increased in all three lines of business. The increase in Combat Aircraft principally was due to higher volume on the F-35 program, which more than offset lower volume on F-22 and F-16 programs. The increase in Air Mobility primarily was attributable to higher volume on the C-130J program, including deliveries and support activities. There were four C-130J deliveries in the third quarter of 2009 and three in the comparable 2008 period. There were ten C-130J deliveries in the nine month period of 2009 and nine in the comparable 2008 period. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to higher volume on advanced development programs and P-3 programs, which partially were offset by declines in other sustainment activities.
Operating profit for Aeronautics increased by 6% for the quarter and 8% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. In both periods, the growth in operating profit primarily was due to increases in Air Mobility and Other Aeronautics Programs, which partially were offset by declines in Combat Aircraft. The increase in Air Mobility operating profit primarily was due to higher volume on C-130J programs and improved performance on C-130 support programs. During the nine month period, Air Mobility's operating profit also increased due to improved performance on C-5 programs. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was attributable to improved performance in sustainment activities and a favorable contract restructuring of a P-3 modification contract. The decrease in Combat Aircraft operating profit primarily was due to lower volume on the F-22 program and a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on F-16 programs. These decreases more than offset increased operating profit resulting from higher volume and improved performance on the F-35 program.

Net sales for Space Systems increased by 9% for the quarter and 1% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, sales growth at Satellites and Space Transportation more than offset a decline in Strategic & Defensive Missile Systems (S&DMS). The sales growth in Satellites was due to higher volume in commercial satellite and government satellite activities. There was one commercial satellite delivery in the third quarter of 2009. There were no commercial satellite deliveries during the third quarter of 2008. The increase in Space Transportation principally was due to higher volume on the Orion program in 2009. S&DMS' sales decreased mainly due to lower volume on defensive missile programs.
During the nine month period, growth in Satellites more than offset declines in sales at Space Transportation and S&DMS. The sales growth in Satellites was due to higher volume in government satellite activities, which partially was offset by lower volume in commercial satellite activities. There was one commercial satellite delivery during the nine month period in 2009 and two deliveries in the comparable 2008 period. The decrease in Space Transportation primarily was due to lower volume in commercial launch vehicle activities in 2009. There were no commercial launches during the nine month period of 2009 and one during the nine month period of 2008. S&DMS' sales decreased mainly due to lower volume on defensive missile programs, which more than offset growth in strategic missile programs.
Operating profit for Space Systems decreased by 3% for the quarter and 10% for the nine months of 2009 from the comparable 2008 periods. During the quarter, declines in operating profit in Satellites and S&DMS partially were offset by growth in Space Transportation. Satellites' operating profit decreased primarily due to the absence of favorable 2008 performance adjustments on government satellite programs in 2009, which more than offset an increase associated with the 2009 commercial satellite delivery. S&DMS' operating profit declined slightly between periods. In Space Transportation, the increase mainly was attributable to higher equity earnings on the United Launch Alliance joint venture and volume on the Orion program.
During the nine month period, operating profit declined in all three lines of business. Space Transportation's operating profit decrease mainly was attributable to the absence in 2009 of a benefit recognized in 2008 from the successful negotiations of a terminated commercial launch vehicle contract and lower equity earnings in 2009 on the United Launch Alliance joint venture. The decrease in S&DMS' operating profit primarily was attributable to a reduction in the level of favorable performance adjustments in 2009 compared to 2008 on strategic missile programs. In Satellites, the operating profit decrease mainly was due to lower volume in commercial satellite activities, which partially was offset by higher volume on government satellite activities.

Consistent with the manner in which the Corporation's business segment operating performance is evaluated by senior management, certain items are excluded from the business segment results and included in "Unallocated corporate income (expense), net." See the Corporation's 2008 Form 10-K for a description of "Unallocated corporate income (expense), net," including the FAS/CAS pension adjustment.
The FAS/CAS pension adjustment (calculated as the difference between FAS pension expense and the CAS cost amounts) resulted in an expense in 2009 compared to income in 2008 due to the negative actual return on plan assets in 2008 and a lower discount rate at Dec. 31, 2008. This trend is consistent with the Corporation's previously disclosed assumptions used to compute these amounts.
For purposes of segment reporting, unusual items are included in "Unallocated corporate income (expense), net":
2009 -
-- There were no unusual items affecting operating profit during the nine
months of the year.
In the third quarter, we resolved an IRS examination of our U.S. Federal Income Tax Returns for the years 2005-2007. As a result, we recognized an unusual tax benefit that reduced our income tax expense and increased our net earnings by $58 million ($0.15 per share) during the quarter and nine month periods of 2009.
2008 -
-- A third quarter gain, net of state income taxes, of $44 million
representing the recognition of a portion of the deferred net gain
from the 2006 sale of the Corporation's ownership interest in Lockheed
Khrunichev Energia International, Inc. (LKEI) and International Launch
Services, Inc. (ILS). At the time of the sale, the Corporation
deferred recognition of any gains pending the expiration of its
responsibility to refund advances for future launch services.
-- Second quarter earnings, net of state income taxes, of $85 million
associated with reserves related to various land sales that are no
longer required. Reserves were recorded at the time of each land sale
based on the U.S. Government's assertion of its right to share in the
sale proceeds. This matter was favorably settled with the U.S.
Government in the second quarter. This item increased net earnings by
$56 million ($0.14 per share) during the second quarter of 2008; and
-- A first quarter gain, net of state income taxes, of $16 million
representing the recognition of a portion of the deferred net gain
from the 2006 sale of the Corporation's ownership interest in LKEI and
ILS. This item increased net earnings by $10 million ($0.02 per share)
during the first quarter of 2008.
Recognition of the deferred net gain increased net earnings by $28 million ($0.07 per share) during the third quarter of 2008. This item, along with the second quarter reserve reversal and the first quarter gain increased net earnings by $94 million ($0.23 per share) during the nine months ended Sept. 28, 2008.
Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates were 25.7% and 29.2% for the quarter and nine months ended Sept. 27, 2009, and 31.6% and 32.2% for the quarter and nine months ended Sept. 28, 2008. These rates were lower than the statutory rate of 35% for all periods due to tax benefits for U.S. manufacturing activities and dividends related to our employee stock ownership plans.
The effective tax rates for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 were lower than the comparable periods in 2008, primarily due to the resolution of an IRS examination in the third quarter of 2009 that reduced income tax expense by $58 million and the extension of the research and development (R&D) credit as a result of the enactment, on Oct. 3, 2008, of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act (EESA) of 2008. Although EESA retroactively extended the R&D credit for two years from Jan. 1, 2008 to Dec. 31, 2009, we did not recognize the benefit until EESA became law in the fourth quarter of 2008. In addition to these items, the effective tax rate for the nine month period of 2009 was affected by the partial elimination of a valuation allowance previously provided against certain foreign company deferred tax assets arising from carryforwards of unused tax benefits.

NON-GAAP PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The Corporation believes that reporting ROIC provides investors with greater visibility into how effectively Lockheed Martin uses the capital invested in its operations. The Corporation uses ROIC to evaluate multi-year investment decisions and as a long-term performance measure, and also uses ROIC as a factor in evaluating management performance for incentive compensation purposes. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles, and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net earnings as an indicator of performance.
The Corporation calculates ROIC as follows:
Net earnings plus after-tax interest expense divided by average invested capital (stockholders' equity plus debt), after adjusting stockholders' equity by adding back adjustments related to postretirement benefit plans.

(1) Represents after-tax interest expense utilizing the federal statutory
rate of 35%.
(2) Debt consists of long-term debt, including current maturities, and
short-term borrowings (if any).
(3) Equity includes non-cash adjustments, primarily to recognize the
funded / unfunded status of our benefit plans.
(4) Average Benefit Plan Adjustments reflect the cumulative value of
entries identified in our Statement of Stockholders' Equity discussed
in Note 3.
(5) Yearly averages are calculated using balances at the start of the year
and at the end of each quarter.
