Executive Summary The future looks great for the Lockheed Martin Corporation. They’ve recently won a contract with the U.S. government to produce several Marine One’s, which is the Presidential Helicopter. They’re in the process of acquiring the Titan Co. and Orincon which will greatly expand information and abilities. And with America’s renewed vigor in the space programs, all areas of business are doing well. Lockheed Martin Financial Reports
Part A. Introduction • CEO: Robert J. Stevens • Headquarters: Bathesda, Maryland • End of last fiscal year: December 31, 2003 • Engaged in research, design, development, manufacturing and the integration of advanced technology systems, products and services • This includes Aeronautics, Space Operations, Information Technology, Missile and Fire Control, and Transportation and Security Solutions
Part A. Audit Report • Independent Auditors: Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors • What did they say about the Co.? After the auditors ran their tests in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, they found no misrepresentation in the financial statements of Lockheed Martin Co. So the reports were fair and assembled correctly.
Part A. Stock Market Information • Most recent price of the company’s stock: $58.88 • Twelve month trading range of the company’s stock: $45.00 - $62.50 • Dividend per share: $.88 • Date of the above information: December 31, 2003 • My opinion about the company stock as an investment? Buy! Lockheed Martin is almost single handedly defending America, and some of our allies. With the administration’s hard lined approach to threats and terrorism, the next few years look awful green.
Part B. Industry Situation and Company Plans In today’s world, information is the single most important weapon for defense. Lockheed Martin is on the very forefront of Integrated Systems Technologies. Along with these computer systems and satellites, Lockheed Martin recorded a record year in its aeronautics business and its 8th consecutive year of organic growth in its electronics system business. They completed strategic transactions to acquire the Titan Corporation, which will bolster intelligence and defense capabilities upon completion.
Part C. Income Statement • Single Step Format Income from operations didn’t change much from 2002 to 2003, but Net Income did see a nice increase. This tells me that Lockheed trimmed some fat and found a ways to keep some of its own money.
Part C. Balance Sheet Assets decreased by more than two thousand with Liabilities and Stockholder’s equity both increasing by less than one thousand.
Part C. Statement of Cash Flows Are cash flows from operations more or less than net income for the past two years? In 2002, Income from Operations was 33 million more than Net Income. In 2003, both Income from Op. and Net Income recorded gains of 1053 million Is the company growing through investing activities, i.e., buying property, plant and equipment and other long lived assets? Yes, Lockheed Martin invests millions in its affiliated companies. What is the company’s primary source of financing, i.e., long-term loans, stock sales? Long-term loans were the main source of financing for 2003. Overall, has cash increased or decreased over the past two years? In 2002, cash saw a huge increase, entering 2003 with $2738 million, but at years end it was down to $1010 million. Acquisitions and doubling dividends from $.44 to $.88 probably had the most to do with this.
Part D. Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash equivalents are generally composed of highly liquid instruments with maturities of 3 months or less. Approx. fair value. Short term Investments – The Corporation’s short-term investments consist of marketable securities that are categorized as available-for sale. Inventories – Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs on long-term contracts and programs in progress represent recoverable costs in Sales & Earnings – Sales and anticipated profits under long term fixed-price production contracts are recorded on a percentage of completion basis, generally using units-of-delivery as the basis to measure progress toward completing and contract and recognizing revenues.
