The revision in the Corporation’s projected 2009 diluted earnings per share results primarily from the net impact of the following:

a higher level of projected sales and segment operating profit in our Information Systems & Global Services and Electronic Systems business segments;
an increase in projected FAS pension expense related to the following updates:
as a result of significant declines in interest rates during the last few weeks of December, the Corporation selected a 6.125% discount rate at the year-end 2008 measurement date versus the 7.50% assumed in the prior outlook;
actual return on plan assets in 2008 of (28%) as compared to the (25%) return assumed in the prior outlook; and
the benefit of $109 million in pre-funding for various pension trusts during the fourth quarter of 2008, as discussed below.
a reduction in Other non-operating income as a result of declines in assumed yields on cash balances; and
the benefit of a reduction in projected weighted average shares outstanding.
It is the Corporation's practice not to incorporate adjustments to its outlook for proposed acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, or other unusual activities until such transactions have been consummated.

Re-Measurement of Post-Retirement Benefit Plans

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 158, “Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans,” (FAS 158), the Corporation is required to re-measure its pension and other post-retirement plans at December 31 of each year and to recognize their funded status on the balance sheet. The re-measurement at December 31, 2008 uses a 6.125% discount rate and 2008 return on plan assets of (28%), as noted in the previous section.

The net impact of the annual re-measurement process was a non-cash, balance sheet only adjustment, which decreased stockholders’ equity by approximately $7.25 billion, after-tax. This adjustment increased our ratio of debt-to-total capitalization from 31% at December 31, 2007 to 57% at December 31, 2008 (the Corporation’s Balance Sheet and Statement of Stockholders’ Equity are presented as Attachments E and G to this Press Release).

The Corporation made discretionary payments totaling $229 million in the fourth quarter to pre-fund the Corporation’s current estimate of the 2009 funding requirements for its defined benefit pension plan trust ($109 million) and retiree medical plan trust ($120 million).


Balanced Cash Deployment Strategy

The Corporation continued to execute its balanced cash deployment strategy during 2008 by:

• repurchasing 6.7 million shares at a cost of $575 million in the quarter and 29.0 million shares at a cost of $2.9 billion in the year;
• retiring $1.0 billion of long-term debt in the third quarter as a result of the floating rate convertible debt redemption and a total of $1.1 billion during the year;
• making capital expenditures of $423 million during the quarter and $926 million during the year;
• paying cash dividends of $227 million in the quarter and $737 million in the year; and
• investing $38 million in the quarter and $233 million during the year for acquisition and investment activities.

Segment Results

The Corporation operates in four principal business segments: Electronic Systems; Information Systems & Global Services (IS&GS); Aeronautics; and Space Systems.
The following table presents the operating results of the four business segments and reconciles these amounts to the Corporation’s consolidated financial results.

In the following comparison of segment operating results, changes in net sales and operating profit are generally expressed in terms of volume and/or performance. Volume refers to increases (or decreases) in sales resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries or services 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 booking rates. These changes on 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 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 2% for the quarter and 4% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. During the quarter, higher sales volume on platform integration activities at Platform, Training & Energy (PT&E) and surface systems and undersea systems activities at Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) partially were offset by lower sales volume on air defense and tactical missile programs at Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC). For the year, sales increases in M&FC and MS2 more than offset a decline in PT&E. The increase in M&FC mainly was due to higher volume on fire control and tactical missile programs. The increase in MS2 was attributable to higher volume on surface systems, undersea systems and radar systems activities. The decline in PT&E mainly was due to lower volume on platform integration activities.

Operating profit for Electronic Systems increased by 3% for the quarter and 7% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. In the quarter, operating profit increases in MS2 and PT&E partially were offset by a decline in M&FC. The increase in MS2 mainly was attributable to improved performance on surface systems programs. The increase at PT&E primarily was due to improved performance on platform integration activities and simulation and training programs. The decline in M&FC primarily was attributable to tactical missile programs. For the year, operating profit increases at M&FC and MS2 more than offset a decrease at PT&E. The increase in M&FC mainly was due to improved performance on air defense programs and higher volume on tactical missile and fire control programs. The increase in MS2 mainly was attributable to higher volume and improved performance on surface systems, underseas systems, and radar systems programs. The decrease at PT&E primarily was due to performance on platform integration activities.

Net sales for IS&GS increased by 16% for the quarter and 14% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. Sales increased in all three lines of business for both the quarter and the year. The increase in Global Services principally was due to Pacific Architect & Engineers (PAE) programs, mission services and other international activities. The increase in Mission Solutions primarily was driven by mission and combat support solutions activities, as well as by transportation and security solutions. The increase in Information Systems mainly was due to higher volume on enterprise solutions and services activities.

Operating profit for IS&GS increased by 12% for the quarter and 13% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. Operating profit increased in all three lines of business for both the quarter and the year. The increase in Global Services operating profit primarily was attributable to volume and improved performance on mission services programs and other international activities. Mission Solutions operating profit increased due to higher volume and improved performance on transportation and security solutions programs, as well as mission and combat support solutions activities. In Information Systems, operating profit increased due to higher volume on information technology programs and a benefit from a contract restructuring during the first quarter of 2008, which more than offset declines in mission services activities.

Net sales for Aeronautics decreased by 5% for the quarter and 7% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. In the quarter, decreases in Combat Aircraft more than offset an increase in Other Aeronautics Programs and Air Mobility. The decrease in Combat Aircraft was due to lower volume on F-16 and F-22 programs, which more than offset an increase in F-35 volume. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to higher volume in sustainment services activities. The increase in Air Mobility mainly was due to higher volume on C-130 support activities. There were three C-130J deliveries in both the fourth quarter of 2008 and the fourth quarter of 2007. During the year, decreases in Combat Aircraft and Air Mobility more than offset increases in Other Aeronautics Programs. The decrease in Combat Aircraft was due to lower volume on F-16, F-22 and F-35 programs. The decrease in Air Mobility primarily was due to lower volume on other air mobility programs. There were 12 C-130J deliveries in both 2008 and 2007. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to higher volume in sustainment services activities.

Operating profit decreased by 4% for the quarter and 3% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. During the quarter, operating profit declines in Combat Aircraft more than offset increases in Air Mobility and Other Aeronautics Programs. In Combat Aircraft, the decrease mainly was due to lower volume and the decline in 2008 of the amount of favorable inception-to-date performance adjustments recognized on the F-22 program, which more than offset improved performance on F-16 programs. The increase in Air Mobility primarily was due to higher volume and improved performance on C-130 support activities. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to improved performance on sustainment services activities. During 2008, operating profit declines in Combat Aircraft partially were offset by increases in Other Aeronautics Programs and Air Mobility. In Combat Aircraft, the decline mainly was due to lower volume on F-16 programs and lower volume and the decline in 2008 of the amount of favorable inception-to-date performance adjustments on the F-22 program. The increase in Other Aeronautics Programs mainly was due to higher volume in sustainment services activities, which partially was offset by a decrease in operating profit due to performance on a P-3 modification contract. In Air Mobility, operating profit increased mainly due to higher volume and improved performance on C-130 support activities, which more than offset a decline on C-5 programs.

Net sales for Space Systems decreased 4% for the quarter and 2% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. In both periods, a sales decline in Satellites partially was offset by growth in Space Transportation. In Satellites, sales declines during the quarter in commercial satellite activities more than offset increases in government satellites programs. During the year, sales declined in both commercial and government satellite activities due to lower volume. There were no commercial satellite deliveries during the fourth quarter of 2008, as compared to one delivery in the fourth quarter of 2007. There were two commercial satellite deliveries during 2008, compared to four in 2007. The sales growth in Space Transportation primarily was due to higher volume on the Orion program.

Operating profit decreased by 11% for the quarter and increased by 11% for the year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable 2007 periods. During the quarter, operating profit declined in both Satellites and Space Transportation. In Satellites, operating profit declined in the quarter due to performance on certain government satellite programs. In Space Transportation, the decrease mainly was attributable to lower equity earnings on the United Launch Alliance (ULA) joint venture, which offset higher volume on the Orion program. During the year, the increase in operating profit was due to Space Transportation, which partially was offset by a decline in Satellites. In Space Transportation, the increase mainly was attributable to higher equity earnings on the ULA joint venture, volume on the Orion program, and the results from successful negotiations of a terminated commercial launch service contract in the first quarter of 2008. The improvement in ULA’s earnings also reflects the absence in 2008 of a charge recognized in the third quarter of 2007 for asset impairment on the Delta II medium lift launch vehicles. In Satellites, operating profit declined during the year due to lower volume and performance on certain government satellite programs.

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 2007 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 87 expense and the CAS cost amounts) moved from expense to income in 2008 due to an increase in the discount rate and other factors such as actual return on plan assets. This change is consistent with the Corporation’s previously disclosed assumptions used to compute the 2008 amounts.

For purposes of segment reporting, the following unusual items were included in “Unallocated corporate income (expense), net” for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:

2008 –
• A fourth quarter gain, net of state income taxes, of $48 million representing the recognition of the remaining 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.
• 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 LKEI and ILS.
• 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.
• 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.

Recognition of the deferred net gain increased net earnings by $32 million ($0.08 per share) during the fourth quarter of 2008. This fourth quarter item, along with the previously reported items increased net earnings by $126 million ($0.31 per share) during the year ended December 31, 2008.

2007 –
• A second quarter gain, net of state income taxes, of $25 million related to the sale of the Corporation’s remaining 20% interest in COMSAT International.
• A first quarter gain, net of state income taxes, of $25 million related to the sale of land.
• First quarter earnings, net of state income taxes, of $21 million related to the reversal of legal reserves from the settlement of certain litigation claims.

These items and the 2007 first quarter income tax benefit of $59 million ($0.14 per share) described in the Income Taxes discussion below, increased net earnings by $105 million ($0.25 per share) during the year ended December 31, 2007.

The increase in “Other, net” for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008 from the comparable periods in 2007 is primarily attributable to income from a reduction in the value of certain market-based, non-qualified employee benefit obligations.

The Corporation also reported in “Other non-operating (expense) income, net” for both the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008, unrealized losses on marketable securities held to fund certain non-qualified employee benefit obligations.

Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates were 29.6% and 31.6% for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2008 and 32.4% and 30.6% for the comparable 2007 periods. The effective rates for all periods were lower than the statutory rate of 35% due to tax deductions for U.S. manufacturing activities, the research tax credit, and dividends related to our employee stock ownership plan. The effective tax rate for 2008 was higher than in 2007 primarily due to a benefit recorded in the first quarter of 2007 arising from the closure of the IRS examination of the 2003 and 2004 tax years.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 signed by the President on October 3, 2008 retroactively extends the research and development (R&D) tax credit for two years, from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, and increases the alternative simplified R&D credit rate from 12% to 14% for calendar year 2009. As a result of these changes, we recorded additional earnings of approximately $36 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, which resulted in a lower effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 than the comparable 2007 period.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 146,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The corporation reported 2008 sales of $42.7 billion.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Statements in this release that are "forward-looking statements" are based on Lockheed Martin’s current expectations and assumptions. Forward-looking statements in this release include estimates of future sales, earnings and cash flow. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially due to factors such as: the availability of government funding for our products and services both domestically and internationally; changes in government and customer priorities and requirements (including changes to respond to the priorities of the new U.S. Administration and Congress, Department of Defense reviews, budgetary constraints, and cost-cutting initiatives); the impact of economic recovery and stimulus plans and continued military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan on funding for existing defense programs; the award or termination of contracts; actual returns (or losses) on pension plan assets, interest and discount rates and other changes that may impact pension plan assumptions; changes in counter-party credit risk exposure; difficulties in developing and producing operationally advanced technology systems; the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries; materials availability and performance by key suppliers, subcontractors and customers; charges from any future impairment reviews that may result in the recognition of losses and a reduction in the book value of goodwill or other long-term assets; the future impact of legislation, rulemaking, and changes in accounting, tax, defense procurement, or export policies; the future impact of acquisitions or divestitures, joint ventures or teaming arrangements; the outcome of legal proceedings and other contingencies (including lawsuits, government investigations or audits, and environmental remediation efforts); the competitive environment for the Corporation’s products and services; and economic, business and political conditions domestically and internationally.

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this press release. For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with Lockheed Martin’s business, please refer to the Corporation’s SEC filings, including the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Risk Factors,” and “Legal Proceedings” sections of the Corporation’s 2007 annual report on Form 10-K, which may be obtained at the Corporation’s website: http://www.lockheedmartin.com

It is the Corporation’s policy to only update or reconfirm its financial projections by issuing a press release. The Corporation generally plans to provide a forward-looking outlook as part of its quarterly earnings release but reserves the right to provide an outlook at different intervals or to revise its practice in future periods. All information in this release is as of January 21, 2009. Lockheed Martin undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to reflect subsequent events, actual results or changes in the Corporation’s expectations. We also disclaim any duty to comment upon or correct information that may be contained in reports published by investment analysts or others.

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.
