* This metric is a non-GAAP financial measure. For more information, see “Appendix A - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

** As approved by the Compensation and Human Capital Committee, Adjusted Cumulative FCF* and Return on Invested Capital* metrics for the 2022 RPSRs were adjusted, as applicable, to neutralize the impact of business conditions and certain costs unforeseen at the time of grant setting. Adjustments include the removal of CAS pension recovery, the IT services divestiture, impacts related to international trade restrictions, assumptions regarding tax legislation related to research credits, plan-based differences in free cash flow related to unanticipated costs on the B-21 program, the impact of a charge associated with the low-rate initial production phase of the B-21 program, the gain on sale of a minority investment in an international business and the loss on divestiture of a small international subsidiary. All adjustments were made by the Committee using its discretion, as provided in our plan, to measure 2022-2024 performance while maintaining flexibility to provide equitable adjustments that address the impact of material non-operational and unforeseen events. Details are outlined in Appendix A - Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.

In February 2025, the Compensation and Human Capital Committee reviewed performance for the January 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024 RPSR performance period. The combined weighted score for the metrics generated an overall performance score of 107%.

In February 2025, the NEOs received payouts in stock with respect to the outstanding RPSR awards that were granted in February 2022 for the three-year performance period ending December 31, 2024 (as described further in footnote three of the Outstanding Equity Awards Table on page 73).
