17、ccomplishments in 2009,as well as during the last several years,are rooted in Raytheons Vision,Strategy,Goals and Values(VSGVs).Our VSGVs are reflected in our focus on the customer,in our technology and innovation leadership,in our commitment to execution,and in the positive spirit of our employees
18、as measured by our employee opinion survey.By generating world-class ideas and putting these ideas into action,we seek to provide our men and women in uniform and others with the systems and services they need to be safe and to succeed,and to enable the success of all of our stakeholders around the
19、world.In a challenging environment for many businesses,we had the right strategic focus,the right processes and the right talent in place to meet our customers needs,to grow,and to build on our reputation for corporate responsibility.This focus is reflected in our strong results for 2009in a book-to
20、-bill ratio greater than one and a year-end backlog of$37 billion,which bodes well for the future.For the year,we had a 7 percent increase in salesand international sales,including foreign military sales,represented 21 percent of the total.International bookings were also strong,representing 30 perc
21、ent of total bookings.Earnings per share from continuing operations were up 24 percent,cash flow was robust,and we continued to improve our return on invested capital(ROIC),by 10 percent from 2008 to 2009.The company maintains a strong focus on program execution and the prudent management of capital
22、 and investments.This focus maximizes operating income and cash,and continues to improve ROIC.It allows us to pursue a capital deployment strategy that balances funding for growing our business,pension stability and returning cash to our shareholders through dividend payments and share repurchasesre
23、purchases that totaled 25.8 million shares for$1.2 billion in 2009.Diverse Portfolio Aligned With Global Customer NeedsOur portfolio is strong,broad-based and aligned with our customers priorities,both in the United States and around the world.One example of this alignment is in Missile Defense,wher
24、e the U.S.administration has identified our Standard Missile-3 and X-Band Radar as critical elements in missile defense systems for the United States and its allies.Other countries,too,have confirmed their need for world-class capabilities.In air and missile defense in 2009,Raytheon received Foreign
25、 Military Sales contract awards totaling$1.1 billion to fund new production of the combat-proven Patriot Air and Missile Defense System.We are seeing strong support,domestically and interna-tionally,in another key strategic area:our Intelligence,Surveillance and Reconnaissance work,particularly in t
26、he classified arena.In Homeland Security,Raytheons engineers meld the worlds finest sensor,command and control and com-munications systems into innovative Homeland Security technology solutions that protect people on continents around the world.We focus our strengths on some of the worlds most urgen
27、t needs in border security,identity management,Cybersecurity,aviation security and critical infrastructure protection.Our team crafts customer require-ments into tested and proven solutions to address some of the worlds most compelling needs.Our training solutions span commercial,civilian govern-men
28、t and military,both domestically and worldwide.We are providing training support to every active U.S.soldier through a contract with the U.S.Army,to every Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controller,and to every NASA astronaut.We are seeing increased demand in the international training m
29、arketplace,a growth opportunity.2009 was a year in which the growing importance of Cyber-security was clear.Raytheons Cybersecurity solutions are setting new standards in this emerging marketplace,capabili-ties that have been enhanced through a series of acquisitions these last few years in insider
30、threat software,vulnerability assessments and information operations,and infrastructure protection,engineering,research and analysis.In 2009,we acquired BBN Technologies,a leader in technology development with expertise spanning speech and language processing,privacy and security systems,networking,
31、data mining,distributed systems and surveillance systems;and in early 2010,Raytheon Australia acquired business assets owned by Compucat Research Pty Ltd to enhance Raytheons ability to meet the future information security needs of the Australian intelligence community.This focus on expanding our po
32、rtfolio with key technolo-gies and personneland integrating acquisitions with our core competencieshas secured our position as a world-leading expert in Cybersecurity products and services.As our world becomes ever more dependent on the electronic systems that support and protect us,our leadership i
33、s positioned to provide a strategic benefit for years to come.As we step back and look at the companys strategies and capabilities,they are well aligned with our customers needs.Our innovative technologies are used across platforms,both new and already in-service,a position that gives us,and our cus
34、tomers,considerable flexibility.We are able to both forward-fit and backward-fit our solutions to enhance our customers capabilities.And,we are well positioned to support our customers as their needs evolve today and in the future.Dear Fellow Shareholders,RAY_AR09_3.30.10_text_pps.indd 24/2/10 1:36:
35、52 PM3World-Class Talent and TechnologyAs we focus on customer success,it is essential that we retain,attract and develop world-class talent.We are doing so,and we were honored to have been named to Fortune Magazines 2009 list of the Top 25 Companies for Leaders in North America,reinforcing our effo
36、rts in all aspects of leadership development.We are committed to treating employees with respect,to leveraging our diversity efforts as a competitive advantage,and to continuing our leadership in diversity.For the fifth consecutive year,the company achieved a score of 100 percent on the Human Rights
37、 Campaign Corporate Equality Index,recognizing our achievements in creating an inclusive and open environment.Securing the STEM Talent PipelineWe also believe it is important to continue to demonstrate leadership in helping secure the science,technology,engineering and mathematics(STEM)pipeline for
38、the future.In 2009,Raytheons MathMovesU program achieved several milestones in our efforts to inspire students to develop and sustain an interest in math and science:We opened the Sum of all Thrills interactive experience at Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort,which enables students of all ages to
39、 custom-design their own virtual ride using mathematical tools and then experience the ride in a robotic simulator;we demonstrated the STEM Education Model,a simulation and modeling tool that we gifted to the Business-Higher Education Forum for use by researchers,policymakers and educators to explor
40、e ways to strengthen STEM outcomes;and we served as the title sponsor of the MATHCOUNTS National Competition,hosting 228 of the nations top middle school math students in a competition that was every bit as intense as a sports playoff game.Equally gratifying was the tremendous turnout of Raytheon vo
41、lunteers in support of 180 MathMovesU-related events throughout the year,events that reached more than 50,000 students and an equal number of parents and teachers.Our community efforts have never been stronger.Corporate Responsibility Corporate responsibility is reflected in the things we stand for
42、as a companyin,for example,our sound corporate governance framework and our innovative ethics education initiatives.In 2009,we built on our established engagement around ethics education by introducing the“Ethics Checkpoint”decision-making tool.Corporate responsibility means valuing people,providing
43、 our employees with a healthy and safe work environment.Raytheons Mission:Health program offers comprehensive health and wellness services and resources to employees and their families.Our workplace safety activities are guided by one overriding goal:to achieve an injury-free workplace.Our 2009 inju
44、ry rates were the lowest ever achieved at Raytheon,but we will not be satisfied until we reach our ultimate goal of zero injuries.Corporate responsibility means sustainability:our commit-ment to future generations to protect our environment and conserve natural resources.Sustainability takes many fo
45、rms at Raytheon including eliminating waste,recycling,conserv-ing energy,reducing greenhouse gas emissions and develop-ing environmental solutions.In early 2010,Raytheon received for the third year in a row the U.S.Environmental Protection Agencys/Department of Energys ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellen
46、ce Award,the highest honor given to ENERGY STAR partners.In 2009,energy consumption declined on an absolute basis by almost 3 percent,and it has declined 13 percent since 2002.When measured on a“per dollar revenue”basis,the company reduced its energy use by 10 percent in 2009 and by 38 percent since
47、 2002.This is a journey and every step forward is a step that matters.To this end,the front portion of our Annual Report is considerably shorter this year and therefore more eco-friendly.I would invite you to visit R to learn more about our systems and services.Vision,Strategy,Goals and ValuesAll th
48、at we strive to accomplish in the year ahead starts with our VSGVs.This is the foundation of our commitment to the safety and success of our men and women in uniform and all of our customers around the world.This is also the foundation for our focus on the success of our shareholders,employees,commu
49、nities,and all of our stakeholders.Our Vision is“to be the most admired defense and aerospace systems supplier through world-class people and technology.”Our company is 88 years young.We know that we are involved in something larger than ourselves,and you have our commitment that the entire Raytheon

214、stomer is the DoD;other U.S.Government customers includethe Departments of Homeland Security,Justice,State and Energy,Intelligence Community agencies,NASA and the FAA.U.S.Government Contracts and RegulationWe act as a prime contractor or major subcontractor for numerous U.S.Government programs.As a
215、result,we aresubject to extensive regulations and requirements of the U.S.Government agencies and entities which govern theseprograms,including with respect to the award,administration and performance of contracts under such programs.Weare also subject to certain unique business risks associated wit
216、h U.S.Government program funding and appropriationsand government contracts and with supplying technologically-advanced,cutting edge defense-related products andservices to the U.S.Government.U.S.Government contracts generally are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation(FAR),which sets forth p
217、olicies,procedures and requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by the U.S.Government,agency-specificregulations that implement or supplement FAR,such as the DoDs Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement(DFARS)and other applicable laws and regulations.These regulations impose
218、a broad range of requirements,many ofwhich are unique to government contracting,including various procurement,import and export,security,contractpricing and cost,contract termination and adjustment,and audit requirements.A contractors failure to comply withthese regulations and requirements could re
219、sult in reductions to the value of contracts,contract modifications ortermination,and the assessment of penalties and fines and lead to suspension or debarment,for cause,from governmentcontracting or subcontracting for a period of time.In addition,government contractors are also subject to routine a
220、uditsand investigations by U.S.Government agencies such as the Defense Contract Audit Agency(DCAA).These agenciesreview a contractors performance under its contracts,cost structure and compliance with applicable laws,regulationsand standards.The DCAA also reviews the adequacy of and a contractors co
221、mpliance with its internal control systemsand policies,including the contractors purchasing,property,estimating,compensation and management informationsystems.For a discussion of certain risks associated with compliance with U.S.Government contract regulations andrequirements,see Item 1A“Risk Factor
222、s”of this Form 10-K.U.S.Government contracts include both cost reimbursement and fixed price contracts.Cost reimbursement contracts,subject to a contract-ceiling amount in certain cases,provide for the reimbursement of allowable costs plus the paymentof a fee.These contracts fall into three basic ty
223、pes:(i)cost plus fixed fee contracts which provide for the payment of afixed fee irrespective of the final cost of performance,(ii)cost plus incentive fee contracts which provide for increases ordecreases in the fee,within specified limits,based upon actual results as compared to contractual targets
224、 relating to suchfactors as cost,performance and delivery schedule,and(iii)cost plus award fee contracts which provide for the paymentof an award fee determined at the discretion of the customer based upon the performance of the contractor againstpre-established criteria.Under cost reimbursement typ
225、e contracts,the contractor is reimbursed periodically for allowablecosts and is paid a portion of the fee based on contract progress.Some costs incident to performing contracts have beenmade partially or wholly unallowable for reimbursement by statute,FAR or other regulation.Examples of such costsin
226、clude charitable contributions,certain merger and acquisition costs,lobbying costs,interest expense and certainlitigation defense costs.Fixed-price contracts are either firm fixed-price contracts or fixed-price incentive contracts.Under firm fixed-pricecontracts,the contractor agrees to perform a sp
227、ecific scope of work for a fixed price and as a result,benefits from costsavings and carries the burden of cost overruns.Under fixed-price incentive contracts,the contractor shares with thegovernment savings accrued from contracts performed for less than target costs and costs incurred in excess of
228、targets upto a negotiated ceiling price(which is higher than the target cost)and carries the entire burden of costs exceeding thenegotiated ceiling price.Accordingly,under such incentive contracts,the contractors profit may also be adjusted up ordown depending upon whether specified performance obje
229、ctives are met.Under firm fixed-price and fixed-priceincentive type contracts,the contractor usually receives either milestone payments equaling up to 90%of the contractprice or monthly progress payments from the government generally in amounts equaling 80%of costs incurred under9government contract
230、s.The remaining amount,including profits or incentive fees,is billed upon delivery and acceptanceof end items under the contract.For a discussion of certain risks associated with fixed price and cost reimbursementcontracts,see Item 1A“Risk Factors”of this Form 10-K.U.S.Government contracts generally
231、 also permit the government to terminate the contract,in whole or in part,withoutprior notice,at the governments convenience or for default based on performance.If a contract is terminated forconvenience,the contractor is generally entitled to payments for its allowable costs and will receive some a
232、llowance forprofit on the work performed.If a contract is terminated for default,the contractor is generally entitled to payments forits work that has been accepted by the government.The U.S.Governments right to terminate its contracts has not had amaterial adverse effect upon our operations or fina
233、ncial condition.For a discussion of the risks associated with the U.S.Governments right to terminate its contracts,see Item 1A“Risk Factors”of this Form 10-K.U.S.Government programs generally are implemented by the award of individual contracts and subcontracts.Congressgenerally appropriates funds o
234、n a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend across several fiscal years.Consequently,programs are often only partially funded initially and additional funds are committed only as Congressmakes further appropriations.The contracts and subcontracts under a program generally are subject to t
235、ermination forconvenience or adjustment if appropriations for such programs are not available or change.The U.S.Government isrequired to equitably adjust a contract price for additions or reductions in scope or other changes ordered by it.For adiscussion of the risks associated with program funding
236、and appropriations,see Item 1A“Risk Factors”and“Overview”within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.In addition,because we are engaged in supplying technologically-advanced,cutting edgedefense-related products and services to the U.S.Government,we are subject to certain business risks,some of which arespecific
237、 to our industry.These risks include:the cost of obtaining and retaining trained and skilled employees;theuncertainty and instability of prices for raw materials and supplies;the problems associated with advanced designs,whichmay result in unforeseen technological difficulties and cost overruns;and
238、the intense competition and the constantnecessity for improvement in facilities and personnel training.Our sales to the U.S.Government may be affected bychanges in procurement policies,budget considerations,changing concepts of national defense,political developmentsabroad and other factors.See Item
239、 1A“Risk Factors”and“Overview”within Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a moredetailed discussion of these and other related risks.We are also involved in U.S.Government programs,principally through our IIS and SAS business segments,which areclassified by the U.S.Government and cannot be specifically desc
240、ribed in this Form 10-K.The operating results of theseclassified programs are included in our consolidated financial statements.The business risks and considerationsassociated with these classified programs generally do not differ materially from those of our other U.S.Governmentprograms and product
241、s.Total classified sales were 13%,12%and 13%of total net sales in 2009,2008 and 2007,respectively.We are subject to government regulations and contract requirements which may differ from U.S.Government regulationwith respect to our sales to non-U.S.customers.See“International Sales”below for more in
242、formation regarding our salesoutside of the U.S.and Item 1A“Risk Factors”for a discussion of the risks associated with international sales.See“Sales to the U.S.Government”on page 9 of this Form 10-K for information regarding the percentage of ourrevenues generated from sales to the U.S.Government.In
243、ternational SalesOur sales to customers outside the U.S.were$5.3 billion or 21%of total net sales in 2009,$4.6 billion or 20%of total netsales in 2008,and$4.2 billion or 20%of total net sales in 2007.Included in sales to customers outside the U.S.wereforeign military sales through the U.S.Government
244、 of$2.8 billion,$1.8 billion and$1.5 billion,in 2009,2008 and 2007,respectively.International sales were principally in the fields of air defense systems,missile systems,airborne radars,navalsystems,air traffic control systems,missile defense systems,electronic equipment,computer software and system
245、s,homeland security solutions,personnel training,equipment maintenance and microwave communication and otherproducts and services permitted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations(ITAR).Generally,we finance ourforeign subsidiary working capital requirements in the applicable countries.Sa
246、les and income from international10operations and investments are subject to U.S.Government laws,regulations and policies,including the ITAR and theForeign Corrupt Practices Act and the export laws and regulations described below,as well as foreign government laws,regulations and procurement policie
247、s and practices,which may differ from U.S.Government regulation,includingimport-export control,investments,exchange controls,repatriation of earnings and requirements to expend a portion ofprogram funds in-country.In addition,embargoes,international hostilities and changes in currency values can als
248、oimpact our international sales.Exchange restrictions imposed by various countries could restrict the transfer of fundsbetween countries and between Raytheon and its subsidiaries.We have acted to protect ourselves against most unduerisks through insurance,foreign exchange contracts,contract provisio
249、ns,government guarantees and/or progresspayments.See revenues derived from external customers and long-lived assets by geographical area set forth in“Note 16:Business Segment Reporting”within Item 8 of this Form 10-K.In connection with certain foreign sales,we utilize the services of sales represent
250、atives who are paid commissions inreturn for services rendered.The export from the U.S.of many of our products may require the issuance of a license by either the U.S.Department ofState under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976(formerly the Foreign Military Sales Act)and its implementingregulations
251、under the ITAR,the U.S.Department of Commerce under the Export Administration Act and itsimplementing regulations as kept in force by the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977(IEEPA),and/orthe U.S.Department of the Treasury under IEEPA or the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917.Such lic
252、enses may bedenied for reasons of U.S.national security or foreign policy.In the case of certain exports of defense equipment andservices,the Department of State must notify Congress at least 15-60 days(depending on the identity of the importingcountry that will utilize the equipment and services)pr
253、ior to authorizing such exports.During that time,Congress maytake action to block or delay a proposed export by joint resolution which is subject to Presidential veto.Additional information regarding the risks associated with our international business is contained in Item 1A“RiskFactors”of this For
254、m 10-K.BacklogOur backlog of orders was$36.9 billion at December 31,2009 and$38.9 billion at December 31,2008.The 2009 amountincludes backlog of approximately$30.3 billion from the U.S.Government compared with$33.0 billion at the end of2008.Approximately$5.6 billion and$0.6 billion of the 2009 backl
255、og amount represents direct foreign governmentbacklog and non-government foreign backlog,respectively.Approximately$18.5 billion of the 2009 year-end backlog isnot expected to be filled during the following twelve months.These amounts include both funded backlog(unfilledorders for which funding is a
256、uthorized,appropriated and contractually obligated by the customer)and unfunded backlog(firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated or obligated to us).For additional information related tobacklog figures,see“Segment Results”within Item 7 of this Form 10-K.Research and DevelopmentWe cond
257、uct extensive research and development activities to continually enhance our existing products and services anddevelop new products and services to meet our customers changing needs and requirements and address new marketopportunities.During 2009,we expended$565 million on research and development e
258、fforts compared with$517 millionin 2008 and$502 million in 2007.These expenditures principally have been for product development for the U.S.Government,including bid and proposal efforts related to U.S.Government programs.We also conduct funded researchand development activities under U.S.Government
259、 contracts which are included in net sales.For additional informationrelated to our research and development activities,see“Note 1:Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”withinItem 8 of this Form 10-K.Raw Materials,Suppliers and SeasonalityWe are dependent upon the delivery of materials by suppl
260、iers and the assembly of major components and subsystems bysubcontractors used in our products.Some products require relatively scarce raw materials.In addition,we must complywith specific procurement requirements which may,in effect,limit the suppliers and subcontractors we may utilize.Insome insta
261、nces,for a variety of reasons,we are dependent on sole-source suppliers.We enter into long-term or volumepurchase agreements with certain suppliers and take other actions to ensure the availability of needed materials,11components and subsystems.We generally have not experienced material difficultie
262、s in procuring the necessary rawmaterials,components and other supplies for our products.In recent years,our revenues in the second half of the year have generally exceeded revenues in the first half.The timingof U.S.Government awards,the availability of U.S.Government funding and product deliveries
263、 are among the factorsaffecting the periods in which revenues are recorded.We expect this trend to continue in 2010.CompetitionWe directly participate in most major areas of development in the defense and government electronics,space,information technology and technical services and support markets.
264、Technical superiority,reputation,price,pastperformance,delivery schedules,financing and reliability are among the principal competitive factors considered bycustomers in these markets.We compete worldwide with a number of U.S.and international companies in these markets,some of which may have more e
265、xtensive or more specialized engineering,manufacturing and marketing capabilities thanwe do in some areas.The on-going consolidation of the U.S.and global defense,space and aerospace industries continuesto intensify competition and has reduced the number of principal prime contractors in the U.S.As
266、a result of thisconsolidation,we frequently partner on various programs with our major suppliers,some of whom are,from time totime,competitors on other programs.In addition,projected U.S.defense spending levels for periods beyond the near-term are uncertain and difficult to predict.Changes in U.S.de
267、fense spending may potentially limit certain future marketopportunities.See Item 1A“Risk Factors”and“Overview”within Item 7 of this Form 10-K for a more detaileddiscussion of these and other related risks.Patents and LicensesWe own an intellectual property portfolio which includes many United States
268、 and foreign patents,as well as unpatentedknow-how,data,software,trademarks and copyrights,all of which contribute to the preservation of our competitiveposition in the market.In certain instances,we have augmented our technology base by licensing the proprietaryintellectual property of others.We al
269、so license our intellectual property to others.While our intellectual property rightsin the aggregate are important to the operation of Raytheon,we do not believe that any existing patent,license or otherintellectual property right is of such importance that its loss or termination would have a mate
270、rial adverse effect on ourbusiness,taken as a whole.EmploymentAs of December 31,2009,we had approximately 75,000 employees.Approximately 7%of our employees are unionized.We consider our union-management relationships to be generally satisfactory.Environmental RegulationOur operations are subject to
271、and affected by a variety of federal,state and local environmental protection laws andregulations.We have provided for the estimated cost to complete remediation where we have determined that it isprobable that we will incur such costs in the future to address the environmental impact at current or
272、formerly ownedoperating facilities or at sites where we have been named a Potentially Responsible Party(PRP)by the EnvironmentalProtection Agency(EPA)or similarly designated by other environmental agencies.It is difficult to estimate the timingand ultimate amount of environmental cleanup costs to be
273、 incurred in the future due to the uncertainties regarding theextent of the required cleanup,the discovery and application of innovative remediation technologies,and the status of thelaw,regulations and their interpretations.In order to assess the potential impact on our consolidated financial state
274、ments,we estimate the possible remediationcosts that we could reasonably incur.Such estimates take into consideration the professional judgment of ourenvironmental professionals and,in most cases,consultations with outside environmental specialists.If we are ultimately found to have liability at tho
275、se sites where we have been designated a PRP,we expect that the actualcosts of remediation will be shared with other liable PRPs.Generally,PRPs that are ultimately determined to beresponsible parties are strictly liable for site clean-up and usually agree among themselves to share,on an allocated ba
276、sis,the costs and expenses for investigation and remediation of hazardous materials.Under existing environmental laws,however,responsible parties may be jointly and severally liable and,therefore,potentially liable for the full cost of12funding such remediation.In the unlikely event that we are requ
277、ired to fund the entire cost of such remediation,thestatutory framework provides that we may pursue rights of contribution from the other PRPs.The amounts we record donot reflect the unlikely event that we would be required to fund the entire cost of such remediation,nor do they reflectthe possibili
278、ty that we may recover some of these environmental costs from insurance policies or from other PRPs,because neither manner of recovery is deemed probable.However,a portion of these costs are eligible for future recoverythrough the pricing of our products and services to the U.S.Government.We manage
279、various government-owned facilities on behalf of the U.S.Government.At such facilities,environmentalcompliance and remediation costs have historically been primarily the responsibility of the government and we relied(and continue to rely with respect to past practices)upon government funding to pay
280、such costs.While the governmentremains responsible for capital and operating costs associated with environmental compliance,responsibility for finesand penalties associated with environmental noncompliance are typically borne by either the government or thecontractor,depending on the contract and th
281、e relevant facts.Fines and penalties are unallowable costs under thecontracts pursuant to which such facilities are managed.Most of the laws governing environmental matters include criminal provisions.If we were convicted of a criminalviolation of certain federal environmental statutes,including the
282、 Federal Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act,thefacility or facilities involved in the violation would be placed by the EPA on the“Excluded Parties List”maintained by theGovernment Services Administration.The listing would continue until the EPA concluded that the cause of the violationhad been cu
283、red.Listed facilities cannot be used in performing any U.S.Government contract awarded during any periodof listing by the EPA.Additional information regarding the effect of compliance with environmental protection requirements and theresolution of environmental claims against Raytheon and its operat

289、rmation we are incorporating by reference contain forward-looking statements within themeaning of federal securities laws,including information regarding our 2010 financial outlook,future plans,objectives,business prospects,trends and anticipated financial performance including with respect to our l
290、iquidity and capitalresources,our pension expense and funding,our unrecognized tax benefits and the outcome of legal proceedings,claims,investigations,commitments and contingencies,as well as information regarding domestic and international defensespending and budgets.You can identify these statemen
291、ts by the fact that they include words such as“will,”“believe,”“anticipate,”“expect,”“estimate,”“intend,”“plan,”or variations of these words,or similar expressions.These forward-looking statements are not statements of historical facts and represent only our current expectations regarding such13matt
292、ers.These statements inherently involve a wide range of known and unknown uncertainties.Our actual actions andresults could differ materially from what is expressed or implied by these statements.Specific factors that could causesuch a difference include,but are not limited to,those set forth below
293、and other important factors disclosed previouslyand from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.Given these factors,as well asother variables that may affect our operating results,you should not rely on forward-looking statements,assume that pastfinancial perfo
294、rmance will be a reliable indicator of future performance,nor use historical trends to anticipate results ortrends in future periods.We expressly disclaim any obligation or intention to provide updates to the forward-lookingstatements and the estimates and assumptions associated with them.We depend
295、on the U.S.Government for a substantial portion of our business and changes in government defense spendingcould have consequences on our financial position,results of operations and business.In 2009,U.S.Government sales accounted for approximately 88%of our total net sales.U.S.Government sales inclu
296、dedforeign military sales through the U.S.Government of$2.8 billion in 2009.Our revenues from the U.S.Governmentlargely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S.Government programs,primarily defense-relatedprograms with the Department of Defense(DoD),as well as a broad range of programs
297、 with the Department ofHomeland Security,the Intelligence Community and other departments and agencies.The funding of our programs issubject to the overall U.S.Government budget and appropriation decisions and processes which are driven by numerousfactors,including geo-political events and macroecon
298、omic conditions,and are beyond our control.The overall level ofU.S.defense spending has increased in recent years for numerous reasons,including increases in funding of operations inIraq and Afghanistan and the DoDs modernization initiatives.Looking forward,we expect overall defense spending toincre
299、ase in the near term,albeit at lower rates than in recent years.However,projected defense spending levels areuncertain and become increasingly difficult to predict for periods beyond the near-term due to numerous factors,including the external threat environment,funding for on-going operations in Ir
300、aq and Afghanistan,future priorities ofthe Administration and the overall health of the U.S.and world economies and the state of governmental finances.Significant changes in defense spending could have long-term consequences for our size and structure.In addition,changes in government priorities and
301、 requirements could impact the funding,or the timing of funding,of our programswhich could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.Our financial performance is dependent on our ability to perform our U.S.Government contracts,which are subject touncertain levels of funding
302、 and termination.Our financial performance is dependent on our performance under our U.S.Government contracts.While we areinvolved in numerous programs and are party to thousands of U.S.Government contracts,the termination of one ormore large contracts,whether due to lack of funding,for convenience,
303、or otherwise,or the occurrence of delays,costoverruns and product failures in connection with one or more large contracts,could negatively impact our results ofoperations and financial condition.Furthermore,we can give no assurance that we would be able to procure new U.S.Government contracts to off
304、set the revenues lost as a result of termination of any of our contracts.The funding of U.S.Government programs is subject to congressional appropriations.Congress generally appropriatesfunds on a fiscal year basis even though a program may extend over several fiscal years.Consequently,programs are
305、oftenonly partially funded initially and additional funds are committed only as Congress makes further appropriations.Ifappropriations for one of our programs become unavailable,or are reduced or delayed,our contract or subcontractunder such program may be terminated or adjusted by the government,wh
306、ich could have a negative impact on ourfuture sales under such contract or subcontract.From time to time,when a formal appropriation bill has not been signedinto law before the end of the U.S.Governments fiscal year,Congress may pass a continuing resolution that authorizesagencies of the U.S.Governm
307、ent to continue to operate,generally at the same funding levels from the prior year,but doesnot authorize new spending initiatives,during a certain period.During such period(or until the regular appropriationbills are passed),delays can occur in procurement of products and services due to lack of fu
308、nding,and these delays canaffect our results of operations during the period of delay.In addition,U.S.Government contracts generally also permit the government to terminate the contract,in whole or inpart,without prior notice,at the governments convenience or for default based on performance.If one
309、of our contracts14is terminated for convenience,we would generally be entitled to payments for our allowable costs and would receivesome allowance for profit on the work performed.If one of our contracts is terminated for default,we would generally beentitled to payments for our work that has been a
310、ccepted by the government.A termination arising out of our defaultcould expose us to liability and have a negative impact on our ability to obtain future contracts and orders.Furthermore,on contracts for which we are a subcontractor and not the prime contractor,the U.S.Government could terminate the
311、prime contract for convenience or otherwise,irrespective of our performance as a subcontractor.Our government contracts also typically involve the development,application and manufacture of advanced defense andtechnology systems and products aimed at achieving challenging goals.New technologies may
312、be untested or unproven.In some instances,product requirements or specifications may be modified.As a result,we may experience technologicaland other performance difficulties,which may result in delays,setbacks,cost overruns and product failures,inconnection with performing our government contracts.
313、Our international business is subject to geo-political and economic factors,regulatory requirements and other risks.Our international business exposes us to geo-political and economic factors,regulatory requirements and other risksassociated with doing business in foreign countries.These risks diffe
314、r from and potentially may be greater than thoseassociated with our domestic business.In addition,our exposure to such risks may increase if our international businesscontinues to grow as we anticipate.Our international business is sensitive to changes in the priorities and budgets of international
315、customers,which may bedriven by changes in threat environments and potentially volatile worldwide economic conditions,regional and localeconomic and political factors,as well as U.S.foreign policy.Our international sales are subject to U.S.laws,regulationsand policies,including the International Tra
316、ffic in Arms Regulations(ITAR)and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act andother export laws and regulations.They are also subject to local government laws,regulations and procurement policiesand practices which may differ from U.S.Government regulations,including regulations relating to import-exportco
317、ntrol,investments,exchange controls and repatriation of earnings,as well as to varying currency,geo-political andeconomic risks.Our international contracts may include requirements on specific in-country purchases,manufacturingagreements or financial support obligations,known as offsets,and provide
318、for penalties if we fail to meet suchrequirements.We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for internationalsales and operations and teaming with international subcontractors,partners and suppliers in connection withinternational programs.As a result
319、 of these factors,we could experience award and funding delays on internationalprograms and could incur losses on such programs which could negatively impact our results of operations and financialcondition.Sales of our products outside of the U.S.require U.S.Government authorization and such author
320、izations may be delayedor withheld.Due to the nature of our products,we must first obtain licenses and authorizations from various U.S.Governmentagencies before we are permitted to sell our products outside of the U.S.For example,the U.S.Department of State mustnotify Congress at least 15-60 days,de
321、pending on the size and location of the sale,prior to authorizing certain sales ofdefense equipment and services to foreign governments.During that time,Congress may take action to block theproposed sale.We can give no assurance that we will continue to be successful in obtaining the necessary licen
322、ses orauthorizations or that Congress will not prevent or delay certain sales.Any significant impairment of our ability to sellproducts outside of the U.S.could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.Competition within our markets may reduce our revenues and market share
323、.We operate in highly competitive markets and our competitors may have more extensive or more specialized engineering,manufacturing and marketing capabilities than we do in some areas.We anticipate increasing competition in our coremarkets as a result of defense industry consolidation,which has enab
324、led companies to enhance their competitive positionand ability to compete against us.In addition,as discussed in more detail above,projected U.S.defense spending levelsfor periods beyond the near-term are uncertain and difficult to predict.Changes in U.S.defense spending may potentially15limit certa
325、in future market opportunities.We are also facing increasing competition in our domestic and internationalmarkets from foreign and multinational firms.Additionally,some customers,including the DoD,are increasingly turningto commercial contractors,rather than traditional defense contractors,for infor
326、mation technology and other supportwork.If we are unable to continue to compete successfully against our current or future competitors,we may experiencedeclines in revenues and market share which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.Our future success depends on
327、our ability to develop new offerings and technologies for our current and future markets.To achieve our business strategies and continue to grow our revenues and operating profit,we must successfully developnew or adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies for our current core defense m
328、arkets and our futuremarkets,including adjacent and emerging markets.Accordingly,our future performance depends on a number offactors,including our ability to:?Identify emerging technological trends in our current and future markets;?Identify additional uses for our existing technology to address cu
329、stomer needs in our current and future markets;?Develop and maintain competitive products and services for our current and future markets;?Enhance our offerings by adding innovative features that differentiate our offerings from those of our competitors;?Develop and manufacture and bring solutions t
330、o market quickly at cost-effective prices;and?Effectively structure our businesses,through the use of joint ventures,teaming agreements and other forms ofalliances,to reflect the competitive environment.We believe that,in order to remain competitive in the future,we will need to continue to invest s
331、ignificant financialresources to develop new and adapt or modify our existing offerings and technologies,including through internalresearch and development,acquisitions and joint ventures or other teaming arrangements.These expenditures coulddivert our attention and resources from other projects,and
332、 we cannot be sure that these expenditures will ultimately leadto the timely development of new offerings and technologies.Due to the design complexity of our products,we may inthe future experience delays in completing the development and introduction of new products.Any delays could result inincre
333、ased costs of development or deflect resources from other projects.In addition,there can be no assurance that themarket for our offerings will develop or continue to expand as we currently anticipate.The failure of our technology togain market acceptance could significantly reduce our revenues and harm our business.Furthermore,we cannot be surethat our competitors will not develop competing techno
