NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation and Reporting

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) include the accounts of Northrop Grumman Corporation and its subsidiaries and joint ventures or other investments for which we consolidate the financial results (herein referred to as “Northrop Grumman,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in equity securities and joint ventures where the company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “FAS”) and in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. The financial statements include adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the first quarter of 2023, we changed the presentation of the components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax in the Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on our previously reported comprehensive income in total.

Quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30 and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is the company’s long-standing practice to establish actual interim closing dates using a “fiscal” calendar, in which we close our books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. This practice is only used at interim periods within a reporting year.

Accounting Estimates

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared using the most current and best available information; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Contract Estimates

We recognize changes in estimated contract sales or costs and the resulting changes in contract profit on a cumulative basis. Net estimate-at-completion (EAC) adjustments represent the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods; sales and operating margins in future periods are recognized as if the revised estimates had been used since contract inception. If it is determined that a loss is expected to result on an individual performance obligation, the entire amount of the estimable future loss, including an allocation of general and administrative expense, is charged against income in the period the loss is identified.

The following table presents the effect of aggregate net EAC adjustments:

	Three Months Ended June 30				Six Months Ended June 30
$ in millions, except per share data	2023		2022		2023		2022
Revenue	$	95	$	95	$	157	$	304
Operating income	76		92		122		265
Net earnings(1)	60		73		96		209
Diluted earnings per share(1)	0.39		0.47		0.63		1.34

(1)Based on a 21 percent statutory tax rate.

EAC adjustments on a single performance obligation can have a significant effect on the company’s financial statements. When such adjustments occur, we generally disclose the nature, underlying conditions and financial impact of the adjustments. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a $36 million unfavorable

-5-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

EAC adjustment on the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) program at Space Systems largely due to cost growth stemming from evolving Lunar Gateway architecture and mission requirements combined with macroeconomic challenges. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recorded a $67 million favorable EAC adjustment on the engineering, manufacturing and development (EMD) phase of the B-21 program at Aeronautics Systems. No EAC adjustments on a single performance obligation had a significant impact on the financial statements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 or June 30, 2022.

Backlog

Backlog represents the future sales we expect to recognize on firm orders received by the company and is equivalent to the company’s remaining performance obligations at the end of each period. It comprises both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is authorized and appropriated) and unfunded backlog. Unexercised contract options and indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts are not included in backlog until the time an option or IDIQ task order is exercised or awarded. Backlog is converted into sales as costs are incurred or deliveries are made.

Company backlog as of June 30, 2023 was $78.8 billion. Of our June 30, 2023 backlog, we expect to recognize approximately 40 percent as revenue over the next 12 months and 65 percent as revenue over the next 24 months, with the remainder to be recognized thereafter.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

For each of the company’s contracts, the timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a net contract asset or liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are equivalent to and reflected as Unbilled receivables in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are primarily related to long-term contracts where revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost method exceeds amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities are equivalent to and reflected as Advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. The amount of revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that was included in the December 31, 2022 contract liability balance was $899 million and $2.6 billion, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 that was included in the December 31, 2021 contract liability balance was $466 million and $1.9 billion, respectively.

Disaggregation of Revenue

See Note 9 for information regarding the company’s sales by customer type, contract type and geographic region for each of our segments. We believe those categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the company received lease incentives for landlord funded leasehold improvements of $63 million related to a Space Systems real estate lease, which were recorded in PP&E and included in non-cash investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the company acquired $46 million of internal use software through long-term financing directly with the supplier. The software was recorded in PP&E as a non-cash investing activity and the related liability was recorded in long-term debt as a non-cash financing activity. Non-cash investing activities also include capital expenditures incurred but not yet paid of $62 million and $73 million as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Sale of Minority Investment

In April 2023, the company reached an agreement to sell its minority investment in an international business. The transaction, which is subject to final government approvals and closing conditions, is expected to be completed in the third quarter. We expect to recognize a pre-tax gain of approximately $100 million when the transaction closes.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, are as follows:

$ in millions	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Cumulative translation adjustment	$	(156)	$	(161)
Other, net	6		8
Total accumulated other comprehensive loss	$	(150)	$	(153)

Related Party Transactions

For all periods presented, the company had no material related party transactions.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

Accounting Standards Updates

Accounting standards updates adopted and/or issued, but not effective until after June 30, 2023, are not expected to have a material effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

2.    EARNINGS PER SHARE, SHARE REPURCHASES AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

Basic Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans. The dilutive effect of these securities totaled 0.5 million shares and 0.6 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 0.6 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Share Repurchases

On January 25, 2021, the company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3.0 billion of the company’s common stock (the “2021 Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Program commenced in October 2021 and were completed in April 2023.

On January 24, 2022, the company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to an additional $2.0 billion in share repurchases of the company’s common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program commenced in April 2023 upon completion of the 2021 Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2023, repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program totaled 0.3 billion; $1.7 billion remained under this share repurchase authorization. By its terms, the 2022 Repurchase Program will expire when we have used all authorized funds for repurchases.

During the first quarter of 2023, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America) to repurchase $500 million of the company’s common stock as part of the 2021 and 2022 Repurchase Programs. Under the agreement, we made a payment of $500 million to Bank of America and received an initial delivery of 0.9 million shares valued at $400 million that were immediately canceled by the company. The remaining balance of $100 million was settled on April 27, 2023 with a final delivery of 0.2 million shares from Bank of America. The final average purchase price was $458.28 per share.

Share repurchases take place from time to time, subject to market conditions and management’s discretion, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The company retires its common stock upon repurchase and, in the periods presented, has not made any purchases of common stock other than in connection with these publicly announced repurchase programs.

The table below summarizes the company’s share repurchases to date under the authorizations described above:

							Shares Repurchased (in millions)
Repurchase Program Authorization Date	Amount Authorized (in millions)		Total Shares Retired (in millions)	Average  Price Per Share(1)		Date Completed	Six Months Ended June 30
							2023	2022
January 25, 2021	$	3,000	7.0	$	431.05	April 2023	1.4	1.6
January 24, 2022	$	2,000	0.6	$	452.91		0.6	—

(1)Includes commissions paid.

Dividends on Common Stock

In May 2023, the company increased the quarterly common stock dividend 8 percent to $1.87 per share from the previous amount of $1.73 per share.

3.    INCOME TAXES

	Three Months Ended June 30						Six Months Ended June 30
$ in millions	2023			2022			2023			2022
Federal and foreign income tax expense	$	175		$	204		$	331		$	393
Effective income tax rate	17.7		%	17.7		%	16.7		%	17.1		%

Current Quarter

The company’s second quarter 2023 effective tax rate (ETR) of 17.7 percent was comparable with the prior year period and reflects higher interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits, offset by favorable returns on tax-exempt marketable securities. The second quarter 2023 ETR includes benefits of $38 million for research credits and $14 million for foreign derived intangible income (FDII). The second quarter 2022 ETR included benefits of $41 million for research credits and $15 million for FDII.

Year to Date

The company’s year to date 2023 ETR decreased to 16.7 percent from 17.1 percent in the prior year period principally due to higher current year ETR benefits associated with research credits and FDII deductions as well as favorable returns on tax-exempt marketable securities, partially offset by higher interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits. The year to date 2023 ETR includes benefits of $78 million for research credits and $29 million for FDII. The year to date 2022 ETR included benefits of $82 million for research credits and $29 million for FDII.

Taxes receivable, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position, were $566 million as of June 30, 2023 and $850 million as of December 31, 2022.

The company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits related to our methods of accounting associated with the timing of revenue recognition and related costs and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes related final revenue recognition regulations issued in December 2020 under IRC Section 451(b) and procedural guidance issued in August 2021. As of June 30, 2023, we have approximately $1.6 billion in unrecognized tax benefits, including $601 million related to our position on IRC Section 451(b). If these matters, including our position on IRC Section 451(b), are unfavorably resolved, there could be a material impact on our future cash flows. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits related to these matters may increase by approximately $120 million.

In the second quarter of 2023, the California Franchise Tax Board approved a resolution of the state examination primarily related to California state apportionment in the company’s 2007 to 2016 tax years, resulting in a $95 million reduction to our unrecognized tax benefits and an $11 million reduction to unallocated corporate expense.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Northrop Grumman 2014-2020 federal tax returns and refund claims related to its 2007-2016 federal tax returns are currently under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination. During the second quarter of 2023, the company entered into an agreed Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) for certain matters related to the company’s 2014-2017 federal income tax returns, resulting in a $90 million reduction to our unrecognized tax benefits and an immaterial impact to income tax expense.

Our current unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position, were $689 million and $728 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with the remainder of our unrecognized tax benefits included within Other non-current liabilities.

4.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The company holds a portfolio of marketable securities to partially fund non-qualified employee benefit plans. A portion of these securities are held in common/collective trust funds and are measured at fair value using net asset value (NAV) per share as a practical expedient; therefore, they are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy table below. Marketable securities are included in Other non-current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

The company’s derivative portfolio consists primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. Where model-derived valuations are appropriate, the company utilizes the income approach to determine the fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs.

The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities the company records at fair value on a recurring basis identified by the level of inputs used to determine fair value:

	June 30, 2023								December 31, 2022
$ in millions	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets
Marketable securities	$	316	$	—	$	8	$	324	$	310	$	1	$	8	$	319
Marketable securities valued using NAV							10								13
Total marketable securities	316		—		8		334		310		1		8		332
Derivatives	—		2		—		2		—		7		—		7

The notional value of the company’s foreign currency forward contracts at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $271 million and $221 million, respectively. The portion of notional value designated as a cash flow hedge at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $59 million and $87 million, respectively.

The derivative fair values and related unrealized gains/losses at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were not material.

There were no transfers of financial instruments into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and commercial paper approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt

The estimated fair value of long-term debt was $14.3 billion and $12.1 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We calculated the fair value of long-term debt using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the company’s existing debt arrangements. The current portion of long-term debt is recorded in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Unsecured Senior Notes

In February 2023, the company issued $2.0 billion of unsecured senior notes for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repayment (including our 3.25% senior notes due in August 2023), share repurchases, and working capital, as follows:

•$1.0 billion of 4.70% senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) and

•$1.0 billion of 4.95% senior notes due 2053 (the “2053 Notes”).

We refer to the 2033 Notes and the 2053 Notes, together, as the “notes.” Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes are generally subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the company’s discretion at any time, or from time to time, prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or an applicable “make-whole” amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

5.    INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

The company is engaged in remediation activities relating to environmental conditions allegedly resulting from historic operations at the former United States Navy and Grumman facilities in Bethpage, New York. For over 20 years, the company has worked closely with the United States Navy, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the New York State Department of Health and other federal, state and local governmental authorities, to address legacy environmental conditions in Bethpage. In December 2019, the State of New York issued an Amended Record of Decision seeking to impose additional remedial requirements beyond measures the company previously had been taking. In December 2020, the parties reached a tentative agreement regarding the steps the company would take to implement the State’s Amended Record of Decision and to resolve certain potential other claims, including for natural resource damages. On September 22, 2021, the State of New York issued for public comment a new consent decree reflecting the agreement. On December 7, 2021, the public comment period closed. On August 3, 2022, the court approved the consent decree. We have also reached agreements with the Department of Defense and the Bethpage and South Farmingdale Water Districts to resolve claims involving these parties. Those agreements have also been approved by the courts as necessary. The company continues to be involved in related disputes with the Towns of Oyster Bay and Hempstead.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, as included in Note 6, substantial remediation costs related to the legacy Bethpage environmental conditions. It is also possible that applicable remediation standards and other requirements to which we are subject may continue to change, and that our costs may increase materially. In addition to disputes and legal proceedings related to environmental conditions and remediation at the site, we are a party to various individual lawsuits and a putative class action alleging personal injury and property damage in the Eastern District of New York. The filed individual lawsuits have been stayed, pending a court decision on class certification. We are also a party, and may become a party, to other lawsuits brought by or against insurance carriers, and by other individual plaintiffs and/or putative classes, as well as other parties. We cannot at this time predict or reasonably estimate the potential cumulative outcomes or ranges of possible liability of these Bethpage lawsuits.

In June 2018, the FTC issued a Decision and Order enabling the company’s acquisition of OATK to proceed and providing generally for the company to continue to make solid rocket motors available to competing missile primes on a non-discriminatory basis. The company has taken and continues to take robust actions to help ensure compliance with the terms of the Order. Similarly, the Compliance Officer, appointed under the Order, and the FTC have taken and continue to take various actions to oversee compliance. In October 2019, the company received a civil investigative demand (CID) from the FTC requesting certain information relating to a potential issue regarding the company’s compliance with the Order in connection with a then pending missile competition. The company promptly provided information in response to the request. In late 2021, the company resumed discussions with staff at the FTC regarding our response and their views on compliance issues. In late 2022, the company received a follow-on CID; the company responded to it earlier this year. We cannot predict any additional steps, but we do not believe they are likely to have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows. We believe the company has been and continues to be in compliance with the Order.

The company received from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) a criminal subpoena on December 9, 2022, and a civil investigative demand on February 2, 2023, both seeking information regarding financial and cost accounting and controls that appears focused on the interest rate assumptions the company used to determine our CAS pension expense, which we have previously discussed in Note 6 below. The company is engaging with the government and responding to the requests. We cannot at this point predict the outcome of these matters.

The company is a party to various other investigations, lawsuits, arbitration, claims, enforcement actions and other legal proceedings, including government investigations and claims, that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The nature of legal proceedings is such that we cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter. However, based on information available to the company to date, the company does not believe that the outcome of any of these other matters pending against the company is likely to have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

U.S. Government Cost Claims and Contingencies

From time to time, the company is advised of claims by the U.S. government concerning certain potential disallowed costs, plus, at times, penalties and interest. When such findings are presented, the company and U.S. government

-10-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

representatives engage in discussions to enable the company to evaluate the merits of these claims, as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect the company’s estimated exposure for such potential disallowed costs. Such provisions are reviewed periodically using the most recent information available. The company believes it has adequately reserved for disputed amounts that are probable and reasonably estimable, and that the outcome of any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

In 2019, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) raised questions about an interest rate assumption used by the company to determine our CAS pension expense. On June 1, 2020, DCMA provided written notice that the assumptions the company used during the period 2013-2019 were potentially noncompliant with CAS. We submitted a formal response on July 31, 2020, which we believed demonstrates the appropriateness of the assumptions used. On November 24, 2020, DCMA replied to the company’s response, disagreeing with our position and requesting additional input, which we provided on February 22, 2021. We have continued to exchange correspondence and engage with DCMA and DoD on this matter, including responding to requests for and providing additional information. As noted in Note 5 above, the company received from the DOJ a criminal subpoena on December 9, 2022 and a CID on February 2, 2023, both seeking information that appears related to the interest rate assumptions at issue in our discussions with DCMA. The company is engaging with the government and responding to the requests. We cannot at this point predict the outcome of these matters. The company is also continuing to engage with DCMA/DoD. As previously described, the sensitivity to changes in interest rate assumptions makes it reasonably possible the outcome of the DCMA matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows, although we are not currently able to estimate a range of any potential loss.

B-21 Low-Rate Initial Production Options

In 2015, the U.S. Air Force awarded to Northrop Grumman the B-21 contract, including a base contract for engineering, manufacturing, and design (EMD) and five low-rate initial production (LRIP) options. The EMD phase of the program is largely cost type and began at contract award. The LRIP options are largely fixed price and are expected to be awarded and executed through approximately the end of the decade. In the second quarter of 2023, we again reviewed our estimated cost to complete the LRIP phase of the B-21 program. Principally due to the company’s estimate of the impact macroeconomic factors may have on our cost to complete the LRIP options, as well as ongoing discussions with our suppliers and our customer, we continue to believe it is reasonably possible one or more of the LRIP options could be performed at a loss and the range of such loss across the five LRIP options is between $0 and $1.2 billion. As we do not currently believe a loss is probable on any of the LRIP options, we have not recognized any such loss in our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Environmental Matters

The table below summarizes the amount accrued for environmental remediation costs, management’s estimate of the amount of reasonably possible future costs in excess of accrued costs and the deferred costs expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

$ in millions	Accrued Costs(1)(2)		Reasonably Possible Future Costs in Excess of Accrued Costs(2)		Deferred Costs(3)
June 30, 2023	$	562	$	353	$	490
December 31, 2022	565		353		486

(1) As of June 30, 2023, $202 million is recorded in Other current liabilities and $360 million is recorded in Other non-current liabilities.

(2) Estimated remediation costs are not discounted to present value. The reasonably possible future costs in excess of accrued costs do not take into consideration amounts expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts.

(3) As of June 30, 2023, $181 million is deferred in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $309 million is deferred in Other non-current assets. These amounts are evaluated for recoverability on a routine basis.

Although management cannot predict whether (i) new information gained as our environmental remediation projects progress, (ii) changes in remediation standards or other requirements to which we are subject, or (iii) other changes in facts and circumstances will materially affect the estimated liability accrued, we do not anticipate that future remediation expenditures associated with our currently identified projects will have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

Financial Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the company uses standby letters of credit and guarantees issued by commercial banks and surety bonds issued principally by insurance companies to guarantee the performance on certain obligations. At June 30, 2023, there were $356 million of stand-by letters of credit and guarantees and $79 million of surety bonds outstanding.

Commercial Paper

The company maintains a commercial paper program that serves as a source of short-term financing with capacity to issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to $2.5 billion. At June 30, 2023, there were $779 million of outstanding short-term commercial paper borrowings at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.73% that have original maturities of three months or less from the date of issuance. The outstanding balance of commercial paper borrowings is recorded in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Credit Facilities

The company maintains a five-year senior unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) that matures in August 2027 and is intended to support the company's commercial paper program and other general corporate purposes. Commercial paper borrowings reduce the amount available for borrowing under the 2022 Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility; however, the amount available for borrowing was reduced by the $779 million of outstanding, short-term commercial paper borrowings described above.

The 2022 Credit Agreement contains generally customary terms and conditions, including covenants restricting the company’s ability to sell all or substantially all of its assets, merge or consolidate with another entity or undertake other fundamental changes and incur liens. The company also cannot permit the ratio of its debt to capitalization (as set forth in the credit agreement) to exceed 65 percent.

At June 30, 2023, the company was in compliance with all covenants under its credit agreements.

FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment

For financial statement purposes, we account for our employee pension plans in accordance with FAS. However, the cost of these plans is charged to our contracts in accordance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) requirements. The FAS/CAS operating adjustment reflects the difference between CAS pension expense included as cost in segment operating income and the service cost component of FAS expense included in total operating income.

Unallocated Corporate Expense

Unallocated corporate expense includes the portion of corporate costs not considered allowable or allocable under the applicable FAR and CAS requirements, and therefore not allocated to the segments, such as changes in deferred state income taxes and a portion of management and administration, legal, environmental, compensation, retiree benefits, advertising and other corporate unallowable costs. Unallocated corporate expense also includes costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, such as amortization of purchased intangible assets and the additional depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired through business combinations, as well as certain compensation and other costs.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Northrop Grumman Corporation

Falls Church, Virginia

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Northrop Grumman Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023, and the related condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income and changes in shareholders’ equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statement of financial position of Northrop Grumman Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated January 25, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the audited consolidated statement of financial position from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2.    Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

OVERVIEW

Northrop Grumman Corporation (herein referred to as “Northrop Grumman,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a leading global aerospace and defense technology company. We deliver a broad range of products, services and solutions to United States (U.S.) and international customers, and principally to the U.S Department of Defense (DoD) and intelligence community. Our broad portfolio is aligned to support national security priorities and our solutions equip our customers with capabilities they need to connect, protect and advance humanity.

The company is a leading provider of space systems, advanced aircraft, missile defense, advanced weapons and long-range fires capabilities, mission systems, networking and communications, strategic deterrence systems, and breakthrough technologies, such as artificial intelligence, advanced computing and cyber. We are focused on competing and winning programs that enable continued growth, performing on our commitments and affordably delivering capability our customers need. With the investments we've made in advanced technologies, combined with our talented workforce and digital transformation capabilities, Northrop Grumman is well positioned to meet our customers' needs today and in the future.

The following discussion should be read along with the financial statements included in this Form 10-Q, as well as “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” and “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which provides additional information on our business, the environment in which we operate and our operating results.

Global Security Environment

The U.S. and its allies continue to face a global security environment of heightened tensions and instability, threats from state and non-state actors, including in particular major global powers, as well as terrorist organizations, increasing nuclear tensions, diverse regional security concerns and political instability. The market for defense products, services and solutions globally is driven by these complex and evolving security challenges, considered in the broader context of political and socioeconomic circumstances and priorities. Our operations and financial performance, as well as demand for our products and services, are impacted by global events, including violence and unrest. The same is true for our suppliers and other business partners.

The conflict in Ukraine has increased global tensions and instability, highlighted threats and increased global demand, as well as further disrupted global supply chains and added costs. We have experienced a modest increase in demand for certain of our goods and services directly and indirectly related to the conflict in the Ukraine. We also have experienced a slight disruption to some of our programs and supply chain, including unanticipated cost growth, as a result of the conflict in Ukraine and economic sanctions. However, we do not have sizable business dealings in Russia or Ukraine, and do not anticipate significant adverse impacts directly from the ongoing conflict.

More broadly, the conflict in Ukraine and threats elsewhere have heightened tensions and highlighted security requirements globally, especially in Europe and the Pacific region, as well as the U.S. We have started to see, and expect to continue to see, increased demand for defense products and services from allies and partner nations, particularly in those areas. We are actively exploring both opportunities and risks.

Global Health Environment

Since at least March 2020, when it was first characterized as a global pandemic, COVID-19 has dramatically impacted the global health and economic environments, including millions of confirmed cases and deaths, business slowdowns or shutdowns, labor shortfalls, supply chain challenges, regulatory challenges, inflationary pressures and market volatility. We discussed in some detail in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022, and subsequent SEC filings, the pandemic, its impacts and risks, and actions taken up to the time of each filing. In this Form 10-Q, we provide a further update.

In May 2023, the World Health Organization declared an end to the global public health emergency for the COVID-19 pandemic. For the first half of 2023, direct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business remained limited. While we cannot predict the future course of COVID-19 or its consequences, we are not currently assuming significant additional direct COVID-19 related impacts on our business.

The company continues to work to monitor and address the global health environment, including its impact on our company, our employees, our customers, our suppliers and our communities. Our goals have been, and continue to be, to keep our employees safe, to lessen the potential adverse impacts, both health and economic, and to continue to position the company for long-term success. Like the communities in which we operate, our actions have varied, and

-19-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

will continue to vary, depending on the state of the global health environment, including as it relates to COVID-19 and other illnesses, applicable government requirements, and the needs of our stakeholders.

Global Economic Environment

In part as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the global economic environment has experienced, and continues to experience, extraordinary challenges, including high rates of inflation and inflationary pressures; widespread delays and disruptions in supply chains; workforce challenges; and market volatility. These macroeconomic factors have contributed, and we expect will continue to contribute, to increased costs, delays and other performance challenges, as well as increased competing demands for limited resources to address such increased costs and other challenges, for our company, our suppliers and partners, and our customers.

We continue to work hard to mitigate some of the challenges caused by the current macroeconomic environment on our business, including by taking steps to support our suppliers and small businesses and enhancing our workforce through extensive hiring, development and retention efforts. However, the broader macroeconomic environment, including inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges, continued adversely to affect the company’s results for the quarter ended June 30, 2023. We cannot clearly predict how long these macroeconomic challenges will continue, how they will change over time, or what additional resources will be available, but we expect to see this challenging macroeconomic environment continue adversely to impact the global economy, our customers, our industry and our company in 2023.

In addition, increased interest rates, raising the cost of borrowing for governments, could further impact government spending priorities (in the U.S. and allied countries, in particular), including their demand for defense products. Economic tensions and changes in international trade policies, including higher tariffs on imported goods and materials and renegotiation of free trade agreements, could also further impact the global market for defense products, services and solutions.

U.S. Political, Budget and Regulatory Environment

On December 23, 2022, the President signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2023, which supports approximately $858 billion in FY 2023 funding for national defense, $817 billion of which is for the DoD. In addition, the FY 2023 NDAA grants DoD discretionary authority under limited circumstances to provide extraordinary relief to contractors to address certain inflationary impacts, although the DoD has not yet exercised this authority.

On December 29, 2022, the President signed an Omnibus appropriations act for FY 2023 that provided $858 billion for national defense programs, approximately $45 billion more than the Administration initially requested for FY 2023 and approximately $76 billion or 10 percent higher than what was appropriated in FY 2022. The Pentagon’s portion of the overall national defense budget for FY 2023 is $817 billion. It includes up to $1 billion for extraordinary relief in FY 2023.

On March 9, 2023, the President proposed his budget for FY 2024 with $886 billion for national defense programs, which included $842 billion for the DoD, an increase of 3 percent, or $25 billion, above the FY 2023 enacted levels. The request does not include supplemental defense spending associated with the conflict in Ukraine.

In addition to the U.S. national security budget detailed above, the U.S. has pledged over $100 billion in security assistance to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine across FY 2022 and FY 2023, including approximately $50 billion in DoD spending. Assistance includes transfers of weapons systems from U.S. inventories, orders for production of additional weapons systems, both to backfill U.S. stockpiles and for Ukraine directly, and assistance from U.S. capabilities.

It is difficult to predict the specific course of future defense budgets. Current and future requirements related to the conflict in Ukraine, threats in the Pacific regions and other security priorities, as well as global inflation, the national debt, the costs of the pandemic and other domestic priorities, among other things, in the U.S. and globally, will continue to impact our customers’ budgets, spending and priorities, and our industry. Current tensions within Congress and the wider U.S. political environment may also impact defense budgets, issues related to the national debt, and government spending more broadly.

We believe the current global security environment highlights the significant national security threats to our nation and our allies, and the need for strong deterrence and a robust defense capability. We believe our capabilities, particularly in space, C4ISR, missile defense, battle management, advanced weapons, survivable aircraft and mission systems should help our customers in the U.S. and globally defend against current and future threats and, as a result, continue to allow for long-term profitable business growth.

In January 2023, the statutory debt ceiling was reached, and the Treasury Department reported that it began taking “extraordinary measures” to finance the government and avoid a breach of the debt ceiling. The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA), signed in June 2023, suspended the debt limit through January 1, 2025 and provides for caps on defense and non-defense discretionary spending in FY 2024 and FY 2025. The FRA cap on discretionary spending for defense in FY 2024 and FY 2025 is $886 billion and $895 billion, respectively. If these spending caps are exceeded, the FRA provides for automatic spending cuts that could be imposed through sequestration.

The FRA also provides for across the board cuts to discretionary spending by one percent below current-year levels if a continuing resolution is in place on January 1, 2024 or 2025. Once full-year appropriations are enacted, the spending caps are to revert to original levels specified in the FRA. If a continuing resolution is still in place on April 30, 2024 or 2025, the FRA provides that a final sequestration order could be issued that would apply to the full fiscal year. While the discretionary spending caps only apply to FY 2024 and FY 2025, the FRA also attempts to limit most discretionary funding for FY 2026 through FY 2029, subject to Congress’s budgetary processes at that time. We anticipate that issues related to the debt ceiling, budgetary priorities and the spending caps imposed by the FRA will continue to be a subject of considerable debate, with a potentially significant impact on our programs and the company.

In July 2023, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed different versions of a National Defense Authorization Act. We expect this proposed legislation, and its potential impact on defense appropriations, including the duration of a possible continuing resolution, will also be the subject of considerable debate with potentially significant impacts.

More broadly, we have seen, and expect to continue to see, an accelerated pace of new rulemakings, new and expanded uses of existing authorities, changing legal rulings and landscapes, and aggressive enforcement actions. These changes and the accelerated pace of change, not only impose additional obligations and risk, but also create further uncertainty regarding our operating environment.

The political environment, federal budget, debt ceiling and regulatory environment are expected to continue to be the subject of considerable debate, especially in light of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and heightened global tensions, the inflationary environment and political tensions. The results of those debates could have material impacts on defense spending broadly and the company’s programs in particular. We anticipate that the broader macroeconomic environment, with ongoing inflationary pressures, labor challenges, and supply chain disruption, among other considerations, will continue to play a significant role in the outcome of these debates and, in turn, on our industry and company.

SEGMENT OPERATING RESULTS

Basis of Presentation

The company is aligned in four operating sectors, which also comprise our reportable segments: Aeronautics Systems, Defense Systems, Mission Systems and Space Systems. We present our sectors in the following business areas, which are reported in a manner reflecting core capabilities:

Aeronautics Systems	Defense Systems	Mission Systems	Space Systems
Autonomous Systems	Battle Management & Missile Systems	Airborne Multifunction Sensors	Launch & Strategic Missiles
Manned Aircraft	Mission Readiness	Maritime/Land Systems & Sensors	Space
		Navigation, Targeting & Survivability
		Networked Information Solutions

This section discusses segment sales, operating income and operating margin rates. In evaluating segment operating performance, we look primarily at changes in sales and operating income. Where applicable, significant fluctuations in operating performance attributable to individual contracts or programs, or changes in a specific cost element across multiple contracts, are described in our analysis. Based on this approach and the nature of our operations, the discussion of results of operations below first focuses on our four segments before distinguishing between products and services. Changes in sales are generally described in terms of volume, while changes in margin rates are generally described in terms of performance and/or contract mix. For purposes of this discussion, volume generally refers to increases or decreases in sales or cost from production/service activity levels and performance generally refers to non-volume related changes in profitability. Contract mix generally refers to changes in the ratio of contract type and/or lifecycle (e.g., cost-type, fixed-price, development, production, and/or sustainment).

Segment Operating Income and Margin Rate

Segment operating income, as reconciled in the table below, and segment operating margin rate (segment operating income divided by sales) are non-GAAP measures that reflect the combined operating income of our four segments less the operating income associated with intersegment sales. Segment operating income includes pension expense allocated to our sectors under FAR and CAS and excludes FAS pension service expense and unallocated corporate items (certain corporate-level expenses, which are not considered allowable or allocable under applicable FAR and CAS requirements, and costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance). These non-GAAP measures may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as supplemental measures in evaluating the financial performance and operational trends of our sectors. These measures may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner and should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Current Quarter

-23-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

Second quarter 2023 segment operating income decreased $21 million, or 2 percent. Higher sales were more than offset by a lower segment operating margin rate, which reflects a $36 million unfavorable EAC adjustment on the Habitation and Logistics Outpost (HALO) program at Space Systems. In addition, the prior year period includes a $38 million gain on a property sale at Aeronautics Systems and a $33 million benefit recognized in connection with a contract-related legal matter at Mission Systems.

Year to Date

Year to date 2023 segment operating income decreased $56 million, or 3 percent. Higher sales were more than offset by a lower segment operating margin rate, which reflects an approximately $50 million reduction related to higher projected CAS pension costs on the company’s fixed price contracts, as well as the $36 million unfavorable EAC adjustment on the HALO program described above. In addition, the prior year period includes a $67 million favorable EAC adjustment on the EMD phase of the B-21 program at Aeronautics Systems, as well as the $38 million gain on a property sale and $33 million benefit recognized in connection with a contract-related legal matter described above.

FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment

Second quarter 2023 and year to date 2023 FAS/CAS operating adjustment decreased primarily due to lower FAS pension service expense resulting from changes in certain actuarial assumptions as of December 31, 2022.

Unallocated Corporate Expense

Current Quarter

The decrease in second quarter 2023 unallocated corporate expense is primarily due to lower intangible asset amortization and PP&E step-up depreciation, partially offset by a loss recognized in connection with a pending divestiture of a small international subsidiary.

Year to Date

The decrease in year to date 2023 unallocated corporate expense is primarily due to lower intangible asset amortization and PP&E step-up depreciation as well as a reduction in unallowable corporate costs.

Net EAC Adjustments - We record changes in estimated contract earnings at completion (net EAC adjustments) using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. Net EAC adjustments can have a significant effect on segment operating income; the aggregate amounts are presented in the table below:

Year to date 2023 sales decreased $127 million, or 2 percent, due to lower volume in both Manned Aircraft and Autonomous Systems, including a $146 million decrease on the E-2 program and lower volume on F/A-18, JSTARS and Global Hawk. These decreases were partially offset by higher volume on restricted programs.

Operating Income

Current Quarter

Second quarter 2023 operating income increased $20 million, or 8 percent, due to higher sales and a higher operating margin rate. Operating margin rate increased to 10.7 percent from 10.2 percent primarily due to higher net favorable EAC adjustments on restricted work, partially offset by a $38 million gain on a property sale in the prior year.

Year to Date

Year to date 2023 operating income decreased $50 million, or 9 percent, due to a lower operating margin rate and lower sales. Operating margin rate decreased to 10.1 percent from 10.8 percent primarily due to lower net EAC adjustments, largely driven by a $67 million favorable EAC adjustment on the EMD phase of the B-21 program in the prior year, as well as a $38 million gain on a property sale in the prior year.

Product Sales and Costs

Current Quarter

Second quarter 2023 product sales increased $662 million, or 10 percent, primarily due to an increase in product sales at Space Systems, Defense Systems and Mission Systems. The increase at Space Systems was principally due to ramp-up on development programs, including GBSD and NGI, as well as higher volume on the SDA Tranche 1 Tracking Layer program. The increase at Defense Systems was primarily due to higher volume on ammunition programs, IBCS, HACM and advanced fuze programs. The increase at Mission Systems was primarily driven by higher volume on restricted programs.

Second quarter 2023 product costs increased $700 million, or 12 percent, consistent with the higher product sales described above and reflect a lower operating margin rate principally due to lower net EAC adjustments on Space Systems production programs, including the $36 million unfavorable EAC adjustment on the HALO program described above.

New Awards

Second quarter and year to date 2023 net awards totaled $10.9 billion and $18.9 billion, respectively, and backlog totaled $78.8 billion. Significant second quarter new awards include $5.4 billion for restricted programs (primarily at Space Systems, Aeronautics Systems and Mission Systems), $0.6 billion for F-35 (primarily at Aeronautics Systems and Mission Systems), $0.3 billion for the Missile Defense Agency's Ballistic Missile Defense System Overhead Persistent Infrared Architecture (BOA) and $0.3 billion for Virginia-Class submarines.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We are focused on the efficient conversion of operating income into cash to provide for the company’s material cash requirements, including working capital needs, satisfaction of contractual commitments, funding of our pension and OPB plans, investment in our business through capital expenditures, and shareholder return through dividend payments and share repurchases.

At June 30, 2023, we had $3.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents. We expect cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operating activities, supplemented by borrowings under credit facilities, commercial paper and/or in the capital markets through our shelf registration with the SEC, if needed, to be sufficient to provide liquidity to the company in the short-term and long-term. The company has a five-year senior unsecured credit facility in an

-29-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion, and in April 2023, we renewed our one-year $500 million uncommitted credit facility. At June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under these credit facilities; however, in May 2023, we issued $779 million in commercial paper, which reduced the amount available for borrowing under our unsecured credit facility. In February 2023, we issued $2.0 billion of unsecured senior notes. We intend to use those proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repayment (including our 3.25% senior notes due in August 2023), share repurchases and working capital.

COVID-19 and the CARES Act

Section 3610 of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) authorized the government to reimburse qualifying contractors for certain costs of providing paid leave to employees as a result of COVID-19. The company has sought and may continue to seek recovery for certain COVID-19-related costs under Section 3610 of the CARES Act and through our contract provisions, though it is unclear what funds will be available and how much we will be able to recover. In addition, during 2020, the DoD increased the rate for certain progress payments from 80 percent to 90 percent for costs incurred and work performed on relevant contracts. In July 2023, the DoD reverted back to the 80 percent progress payment rate on prospectively awarded contracts. We do not expect this change will have a material impact on our 2023 cash from operations.

Internal Revenue Code (IRC) Section 174

Beginning in 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and requires taxpayers to amortize them over five years pursuant to IRC Section 174. Our 2022 cash from operations were reduced by approximately $900 million for federal tax payments we made related to Section 174. In the future, Congress may consider legislation that would defer the amortization requirement to later years, possibly with retroactive effect. In the meantime, we expect to continue to make additional federal tax payments based on the current Section 174 tax law, which we estimate will reduce our 2023 cash from operations by approximately $720 million. The impact of Section 174 on our cash from operations depends on the amount of research and development expenditures incurred by the company and whether the IRS issues guidance on the provision which differs from our current interpretation, among other things.

Cash Flow Measures

In addition to our cash position, we consider various cash flow measures in capital deployment decision-making, including cash provided by operating activities and adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure described in more detail below.

Operating Cash Flow

The table below summarizes key components of cash provided by (used in) operating activities:

	Six Months Ended June 30				%
$ in millions	2023		2022		Change
Net earnings	$	1,654	$	1,901	(13)	%
Non-cash items(1)	91		(321)		(128)	%
Pension and OPB contributions	(75)		(71)		6	%
Changes in trade working capital	(1,504)		(2,261)		(33)	%
Other, net	51		67		(24)	%
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	217	$	(685)	(132)	%

(1)Includes depreciation and amortization, non-cash lease expense, stock based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and net periodic pension and OPB income.

Year to date 2023 net cash provided by operating activities was $217 million compared to net cash used in operating activities of $685 million in the prior year period and reflects improved trade working capital largely driven by increased billings and cash collections.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted free cash flow, as reconciled in the table below, is a non-GAAP measure defined as net cash provided by or used in operating activities, less capital expenditures, plus proceeds from the sale of equipment to a customer (not otherwise included in net cash provided by or used in operating activities) and the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. Adjusted free cash flow includes proceeds from the sale of equipment to a customer as such proceeds were generated in a customer sales transaction. It also includes the after-tax impact of discretionary

-30-

NORTHROP GRUMMAN CORPORATION                        

pension contributions for consistency and comparability of financial performance. This measure may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. We use adjusted free cash flow as a key factor in our planning for, and consideration of, acquisitions, the payment of dividends and stock repurchases. This non-GAAP measure may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance, but should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP.

The table below reconciles net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to adjusted free cash flow:

	Six Months Ended June 30				%
$ in millions	2023		2022		Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	217	$	(685)	(132)	%
Capital expenditures	(613)		(507)		21	%
Adjusted free cash flow	$	(396)	$	(1,192)	(67)	%

Year to date 2023 adjusted free cash flow increased $796 million as compared with the same period in 2022 due to higher net cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.

Investing Cash Flow

Year to date 2023 net cash used in investing activities increased $144 million as compared with the same period in 2022 principally due to higher capital expenditures.

Financing Cash Flow

Year to date 2023 net cash provided by financing activities was $1.2 billion compared to net cash used in financing activities of $1.2 billion in the prior year period principally due to the issuance of $2.0 billion in long-term debt and net borrowings on commercial paper of $768 million, partially offset by a $291 million increase in share repurchases.

These types of matters could result in administrative, civil or criminal fines, penalties or other sanctions (which terms include judgments or convictions and consent or other voluntary decrees or agreements); compensatory, treble or other damages; non-monetary relief or actions; or other liabilities. Government regulations provide that certain allegations against a contractor may lead to suspension or debarment from future government contracts or suspension of export privileges for the company or one or more of its components. The nature of legal proceedings is such that we cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter. For additional information on pending matters, please see Notes 5 and 6 to the financial statements, and for further information on the risks we face from existing and future investigations, lawsuits, arbitration, claims, enforcement actions and other legal proceedings, please see “Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Plan, this amended and restated Plan document does not affect amounts earned and vested under the Plan prior to 2005.

Northrop Grumman Corporation (the "Company") established this Plan for participants in the Northrop Grumman Savings Plan who exceed the limits under sections 401(a)(17) or 415(c) of the Internal Revenue Code. This Plan is intended (1) to comply with section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended (the "Code") and official guidance issued thereunder (except with respect to amounts covered by Appendix B), and (2) to be "a plan which is unfunded and is maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees" within the meaning of sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, this Plan shall be interpreted, operated and administered in a manner consistent with these intentions.

(2) Any designation shall be revocable at any time through a written instrument filed by the Participant with the Administrative Committee with or without the consent of the previous Beneficiary.

No designation of a Beneficiary other than the Participant's spouse shall be valid unless consented to in writing by such spouse. If there is no such designation or if there is no surviving designated Beneficiary, then the Participant's surviving spouse shall be the Beneficiary. If there is no surviving spouse to receive any benefits payable in accordance with the preceding sentence, the duly appointed and currently acting personal representative of the Participant's estate (which shall include either the Participant's probate estate or living trust) shall be the Beneficiary. In any case where there is no such personal representative of the Participant's estate duly appointed and acting in that capacity within 90 days after the Participant's death (or such extended period as the Administrative Committee determines is reasonably necessary to allow such personal representative to be appointed, but not to exceed 180 days after the Participant's death), then Beneficiary shall mean the person or persons who can verify by affidavit or court order to the satisfaction of the Administrative Committee that they are legally entitled to

receive the benefits specified hereunder. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Plan, the Administrative Committee and the Company.

(3) In the event any amount is payable under the Plan to a minor, payment shall not be made to the minor, but instead be paid (a) to that person's living parent(s) to act as custodian, (b) if that person's parents are then divorced, and one parent is the sole custodial parent, to such custodial parent, or (c) if no parent of that person is then living, to a custodian selected by the Administrative Committee to hold the funds for the minor under the Uniform Transfers or Gifts to Minors Act in effect in the jurisdiction in which the minor resides. If no parent is living and the Administrative Committee decides not to select another custodian to hold the funds for the minor, then payment shall be made to the duly appointed and currently acting guardian of the estate for the minor or, if no guardian of the estate for the minor is duly appointed and currently acting within 60 days after the date the amount becomes payable, payment shall be deposited with the court having jurisdiction over the estate of the minor. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Plan, the Administrative Committee and the Company.

3.1 Elections to Defer Eligible Compensation

(a) Timing.

(1) An Eligible Employee who meets the requirements of Section 2.1(a) may elect to defer Eligible Compensation earned in a Plan Year by filing an election in the Open Enrollment Period for the Plan Year. For purposes of determining whether an election filed pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(1) applies, Eligible Compensation that is Base Salary shall be considered earned in the Plan Year in which, absent such election, it would otherwise be paid. The Open Enrollment Period for Compensation that is Base Salary shall end no later than December 31 of the Plan Year prior to the Plan Year in which the Base Salary is earned. The Open Enrollment Period for Compensation that is Bonus compensation shall end no later than June 30 of the Plan Year in which the performance period for the Bonus ends. An election to participate for a Plan Year is irrevocable.

(2) An Eligible New Hire who meets the requirements of Section 2.1(a) may have a one-time election to defer Base Salary earned in the Plan Year following the Plan Year in which his or her first day of employment occurs by filing an election on such first day of employment. For purposes of determining whether an election filed pursuant to this Section 3.1(a)(2) applies, Base Salary shall be considered earned in the Plan Year in which, absent such election, it would otherwise be paid. In addition, an Eligible New Hire who meets the requirements of Section 2.1(a), and is initially eligible to participate in the Plan within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-2(a)(7) as of his or her first day of employment, may elect to defer Bonus compensation earned in the Plan Year in which his or her first day of employment occurs by filing an election on such first day of employment. Any election to participate in the Plan under this Section 3.1(a)(2) is irrevocable.

(b) Election Rules. An Eligible Employee's election may be made in writing, electronically, or as otherwise specified by the Administrative Committee. Such election shall specify the Eligible Employee's rate of deferral for contributions to the Plan, which shall be between 1% and 50%, and shall address distribution of the deferred amounts as described in Section 6.1. All elections must be made in accordance with the rules, procedures and forms provided by the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may change the rules, procedures and forms from time to time and without prior notice to Participants.

(c) Cancellation of Election. If a Participant becomes disabled (as defined under Code section 409A) during a Plan Year, his deferral election for such Plan Year shall be cancelled.

3.2 Contribution Amounts

(a) Participant Contributions. An Eligible Employee's contributions under the Plan for a Plan Year will begin once his or her Compensation for the Plan Year exceeds the Code section 401(a)(17) limit for the Plan Year.

(2) RAC Contributions. Effective July 1, 2008, the Company will make RAC Contributions equal to a percentage of a RAC Participant's Compensation for a Plan Year in excess of the Code section 401(a)(17) limit.

(ii) Three percent if age and years of service are 40 through 59.

(c) The deemed investments for a RAC Participant's RAC Subaccount, the deemed investments for a NEC Participant’s NEC Subaccount, and the deemed investments for a CPSC Participant’s CPSC Subaccount, must be the same as the deemed investments for the Participant's Company contributions under Section 3.2(b)(1).

5.1 In General

A Participant's interest in his or her Account will be nonforfeitable, subject to the exceptions in Section 5.2.

5.2 Exceptions

The following exceptions apply to the vesting rule in Section 5.1 above:

(a) A RAC Participant, a NEC Participant and a CPSC Participant shall become fully vested in his or her RAC Subaccount, NEC Subaccount or CPSC Subaccount (as applicable) and earnings thereon upon the earliest of the following dates, provided he or she is an Employee at such time: (i) the date he or she completes three years of service, (ii) the date of his or her 65th birthday, (iii) the date of his or her death, (iv) the date he or she becomes Disabled, or (v) the date Company Contributions are completely discontinued or the Plan is terminated.

ARTICLE VI

DISTRIBUTIONS

6.1 Distribution Rules for Non-RAC, Non-NEC and Non-CPSC Amounts

The rules in this Section 6.1 apply to distribution of a Participant's Account other than the RAC Subaccount, the NEC Subaccount and the CPSC Subaccount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Appendix B governs the distribution of amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under the Plan prior to 2005 (and earnings thereon) and are exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A. Thus, this Section 6.1 does not apply to these pre-2005 deferrals, but does apply to all other amounts deferred under the Plan.

(a)    Separate Distribution Election. A Participant must make a separate distribution election for each year's contributions. A Participant generally makes a distribution election at the same time the Participant makes the deferral election, i.e., during the Open Enrollment Period (or, with respect to a deferral election by an Eligible New Hire pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(2), on the first day of his or her employment).

(b)    Distribution Upon Separation. A Participant may elect on a deferral form to have the vested portion of his Account related to amounts deferred under the deferral form and Company contributions for the same year (and earnings thereon) distributed in a lump sum or in quarterly or annual installments over a period of 1 to 15 years. Lump sum payments under the Plan will be made in the month following the Participant's Separation from Service. Installment payments shall commence in the March, June, September or December next following the month of Separation from Service. If a Participant does not make a distribution election and his vested Account balance (including amounts subject to Appendix B) exceeds $50,000 and the Participant is age 55 or older at the time the Participant Separates from Service, the Participant will receive quarterly installments over a 10-year period. Otherwise, a Participant not making an election will receive a lump sum payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant's vested Account balance (including amounts subject to Appendix B) is $50,000 or less or the Participant is under age 55 at the time the Participant Separates from Service, the vested Account balance shall be distributed in a lump sum payment in the month following the Participant's Separation from Service.

Notwithstanding the timing rules in the foregoing paragraph, distributions may not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service before the date which is six months after the date of the Key Employee's Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee). All payments to be made upon the Separation from Service shall be delayed six months in accordance with Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(i)(2)(ii).

At the discretion of the Administrative Committee, a distribution may commence earlier or later than the date specified above, provided that the timing of any such commencement complies with Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(d) or any successor thereto.

(c)    Changes in Form of Distribution. A Participant may make up to two subsequent elections to change the form of a distribution for any year's deferrals and Company contributions. Such an election, however, shall be effective only if the following conditions are satisfied:

9

(1)    The election may not take effect until at least twelve (12) months after the date on which the election is made; and

(2)    The distribution will be made exactly five (5) years from the date the distribution would have otherwise been made.

6.2 Distribution Rules for RAC Subaccount, NEC Subaccount and CPSC Subaccount

The full vested balance in a RAC Subaccount, a NEC Subaccount and a CPSC Subaccount shall be distributed in a lump sum upon a RAC Participant's, NEC Participant's or CPSC Participant's (as applicable) Separation from Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, distribution will not be made to a Key Employee upon a Separation from Service until the date which is six months after the date of the Key Employee's Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of death of the Key Employee).

At the discretion of the Administrative Committee, a distribution may commence earlier or later than the date specified above, provided that the timing of any such commencement complies with Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(d) or any successor thereto.

6.3 Effect of Taxation

If a Participant's benefits under the Plan are includible in income pursuant to Code section 409A, the Company shall have the discretion to accelerate the distribution of all or a portion of such includible benefits to the Participant, provided that the Participant shall not be given a direct or indirect election as to whether such discretion is exercised.

6.4 Permitted Delays

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment to a Participant under the Plan shall be delayed upon the Committee's reasonable anticipation of one or more of the following events:

(a)    The Company's deduction with respect to such payment would be eliminated by application of Code section 162(m); or

(b)    The making of the payment would violate Federal securities laws or other applicable law;

(c)    provided, that any payment delayed pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be paid in accordance with Code section 409A.

6.5 Payments Not Received At Death

In the event of the death of a Participant before receiving a payment, payment will be made to his or her estate if death occurs on or after the date of a check that has been issued by the Plan. Otherwise, payment of the amount will be made to the Participant's Beneficiary.

6.6 Inability to Locate Participant

In the event that the Administrative Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within two years following the required payment date, the amount allocated to the Participant's Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture and prior to termination of the Plan, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings for the forfeiture period.

6.7 Committee Rules

All distributions are subject to the rules and procedures of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may also require the use of particular forms. The Administrative Committee may change its rules, procedures and forms from time to time and without prior notice to Participants.

The Administrative Committee's interpretations, constructions and remedies shall be final and binding on all parties, including but not limited to the Affiliated Companies and any Participant or Beneficiary.

12

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Unsecured General Creditor

Participants and their Beneficiaries, heirs, successors, and assigns shall have no legal or equitable rights, claims, or interest in any specific property or assets of the Affiliated Companies. No assets of the Affiliated Companies shall be held in any way as collateral security for the fulfilling of the obligations of the Affiliated Companies under this Plan. Any and all of the Affiliated Companies' assets shall be, and remain, the general unpledged, unrestricted assets of the Affiliated Companies. The obligation under the Plan of the Affiliated Companies adopting the Plan shall be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of those Affiliated Companies to pay money in the future, and the rights of the Participants and Beneficiaries shall be no greater than those of unsecured general creditors. It is the intention of the Affiliated Companies that this Plan be unfunded for purposes of the Code and for purposes of Title I of ERISA.

8.2 Restriction Against Assignment

(a) The Company shall pay all amounts payable hereunder only to the person or persons designated by the Plan and not to any other person or corporation. No part of a Participant's Accounts shall be liable for the debts, contracts, or engagements of any Participant, his or her Beneficiary, or successors in interest, nor shall a Participant's Accounts be subject to execution by levy, attachment, or garnishment or by any other legal or equitable proceeding, nor shall any such person have any right to alienate, anticipate, sell, transfer, commute, pledge, encumber, or assign any benefits or payments hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If any Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest is adjudicated bankrupt or purports to anticipate, alienate, sell, transfer, commute, assign, pledge, encumber or charge any distribution or payment from the Plan, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Administrative Committee, in its discretion, may cancel such distribution or payment (or any part thereof) to or for the benefit of such Participant, Beneficiary or successor in interest in such manner as the Administrative Committee shall direct.

(b) The actions considered exceptions to the vesting rule under Section 5.2 will not be treated as violations of this Section.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all or a portion of a Participant's vested Account balance may be paid to another person as specified in a domestic relations order that the Administrative Committee determines is qualified (a "Qualified Domestic Relations Order"). For this purpose, a Qualified Domestic Relations Order means a judgment, decree, or order (including the approval of a settlement agreement) which is:

(1)    issued pursuant to a State's domestic relations law;

(2)    relates to the provision of child support, alimony payments or marital property rights to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant;

(3)    creates or recognizes the right of a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of the Participant to receive all or a portion of the Participant's benefits under the Plan; and

(4)    meets such other requirements established by the Administrative Committee.

The Administrative Committee shall determine whether any document received by it is a Qualified Domestic Relations Order. In making this determination, the Administrative Committee may consider the rules applicable to "domestic relations orders" under Code section 414(p) and ERISA section 206(d), and such other rules and procedures as it deems relevant.

8.3 Restriction Against Double Payment

If a court orders an assignment of benefits despite Section 8.2, the affected Participant's benefits will be reduced accordingly. The Administrative Committee may use any reasonable actuarial assumptions to accomplish the offset under this Section.

8.4 Withholding

13

There shall be deducted from each payment made under the Plan or any other compensation payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) all taxes, which are required to be withheld by the Affiliated Companies in respect to such payment or this Plan. The Affiliated Companies shall have the right to reduce any payment (or compensation) by the amount of cash sufficient to provide the amount of said taxes.

8.5 Amendment, Modification, Suspension or Termination

The Company may, in its sole discretion, terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any time or from time to time, in whole or in part for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment or termination of the Plan shall reduce the amount of a Participant's Account balance as of the date of such amendment or termination. Upon termination of the Plan, distribution of balances in Accounts shall be made to Participants and Beneficiaries in the manner and at the time described in Article VI, unless the Company determines in its sole discretion that all such amounts shall be distributed upon termination in accordance with the requirements under Code section 409A.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment of the Plan shall apply to amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under the Plan prior to 2005, unless the amendment specifically provides that it applies to such amounts. The purpose of this restriction is to prevent a Plan amendment from resulting in an inadvertent "material modification" to amounts that are "grandfathered" and exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A.

8.6 Governing Law

To the extent not preempted by ERISA, this Plan shall be construed, governed and administered in accordance with the laws of Delaware.

8.7 Receipt and Release

Any payment to a payee in accordance with the provisions of the Plan shall, to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims against the Plan, the Committees and the Affiliated Companies. The Administrative Committee may require such payee, as a condition precedent to such payment, to execute a receipt and release to such effect.

8.8 Payments on Behalf of Persons Under Incapacity

In the event that any amount becomes payable under the Plan to a person who, in the sole judgment of the Administrative Committee, is considered by reason of physical or mental condition to be unable to give a valid receipt therefore, the Administrative Committee may direct that such payment be made to any person found by the Committee, in its sole judgment, to have assumed the care of such person. Any payment made pursuant to such determination shall constitute a full release and discharge of the Administrative Committee and the Company.

8.9 Limitation of Rights and Employment Relationship

Neither the establishment of the Plan, any trust nor any modification thereof, nor the creating of any fund or account, nor the payment of any benefits shall be construed as giving to any Participant, or Beneficiary or other person any legal or equitable right against the Affiliated Companies or any trustee except as provided in the Plan and any trust agreement; and in no event shall the terms of employment of any Employee or Participant be modified or in any way be affected by the provisions of the Plan and any trust agreement.

8.10 Headings

Headings and subheadings in this Plan are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in the construction of the provisions hereof.

8.11 Liabilities Transferred to HII

Northrop Grumman Corporation distributed its interest in Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII") to its shareholders on March 31, 2011 (the "HII Distribution Date"). Pursuant to an agreement between Northrop Grumman Corporation and HII, on the HII Distribution Date certain employees and former employees of HII ceased to participate in the Plan and the liabilities for these participants' benefits under the Plan were transferred

14

to HII. On and after the HII Distribution Date, the Company and the Plan, and any successors thereto, shall have no further obligation or liability to any such participant with respect to any benefit, amount, or right due under the Plan.

APPENDIX B – DISTRIBUTION RULES FOR PRE-2005 AMOUNTS

Distribution of amounts earned and vested (within the meaning of Code section 409A and regulations thereunder) under the Plan or a Merged Plan prior to 2005 (and earnings thereon) are exempt from the requirements of Code section 409A and shall be made in accordance with the Plan or the applicable Merged Plan terms as in effect on December 31, 2004 and as summarized in the following provisions, except as otherwise provided in Appendix C.

B.1    Distribution of Contributions

(a)Distributions Upon Early Termination.

(1)Voluntary Termination. If a Participant voluntarily terminates employment with the Affiliated Companies before age 55 or Disability, distribution of his or her Account will be made in a lump sum on the Participant's Payment Date.

(2)Involuntary Termination. If a Participant involuntarily terminates employment with the Affiliated Companies before age 55, distribution of his or her Account will generally be made in quarterly or annual installments over a fixed number of whole years not to exceed 15 years, commencing on the Participant's Payment Date, in accordance with the Participant's original election on his or her deferral election form. Payment will be made in a lump sum if the Participant had originally elected a lump sum, if the Account balance is $50,000 or less, or if the Administrative Committee so specifies.

(b)Distribution After Retirement, Disability or Death. In the case of a Participant who separates from service with the Affiliated Companies on account of Retirement, Disability or death and has an Account balance of more than $50,000, the Account shall be paid to the Participant (and after his or her death to his or her Beneficiary) in substantially equal quarterly installments over 10 years commencing on the Participant's Payment Date unless an optional form of benefit has been specified pursuant to Section B.1(b)(1).

(1)An optional form of benefit may be elected by the Participant, on the form provided by Administrative Committee, during his or her initial election period from among those listed below:

(i)A lump sum distribution on the Participant's Payment Date.

(ii)Quarterly installments over a period of at least 1 and no more than 15 years beginning on the Participant's Payment Date.

(iii)Annual installments over a period of at least 2 and no more than 15 years beginning on the Participant's Payment Date.

(2)A Participant from time to time may modify the form of benefit that he or she has previously elected. Upon his or her separation from service, the most recently elected form of distribution submitted at least 12 months prior to separation will govern. If no such election exists, distributions will be paid under the 10-year installment method.

(3)In the case of a Participant who terminates employment with the Affiliated Companies on account of Retirement, Disability or death with an Account balance of $50,000 or less, the Account shall be paid to the Participant in a lump sum distribution on the Participant's Payment Date.

(4)In general, upon the Participant's death, payment of any remaining Account balance will be made to the Beneficiary in a lump sum on the Payment Date. But the Beneficiary will receive any remaining installments (starting on the Payment Date) if the Participant was receiving installments, or if the Participant died on or after age 55 with an Account balance over $50,000 and with an effective installment payout election in place. In such cases, the Beneficiary may still elect a lump sum payment of the remaining Account balance, but only with the Administrative Committee's consent.

(5)In the event that this Plan is terminated, the amounts allocated to a Participant's Account shall be distributed to the Participant or, in the event of his or her death, to his or her Beneficiary in a lump sum.

(a)    Merged Plans. As of their respective effective dates, the plans listed in (c) (the "Merged Plans") are merged into this Plan. All amounts from those plans that were merged into this Plan are held in their corresponding Accounts.

(b)    Accounts. Effective as of the dates below, Accounts are established for individuals who, before the merger, had account balances under the merged plans. These individuals will not accrue benefits under this Plan unless they become Participants by virtue of being hired into a covered position with an Affiliated Company, but they will be considered Participants for purposes of the merged accounts. The balance credited to the Participant's merged plan account will, effective as of the date provided in the table below, be invested in accordance with the terms of this Plan. Except as provided in section C.2 below, amounts merged into this Plan from the merged plans are governed by the terms of this Plan.

[2:30 PM] DRAFT

(3)    The reference to $50,000 in the provisions of Appendix B shall be deemed to be $5,000 with respect to amounts in the NG BEP Account and the S & MS Deferred Compensation Account.

(4)    The Administrative Committee shall assume the rights and responsibilities of the Directors/Committee with respect to determining whether a Participant's NG BEP Account may be paid out in a form other than the automatic form of payment.

(5)    The Administrative Committee shall assume the rights and responsibilities of the Committee or Special Committee with respect to determining whether a Participant's S & MS Deferred Compensation Account may be paid out in a form other than the automatic form of payment.

(6)For purposes of determining the time of payment of a Participant's NG BEP Account, a Participant's employment will not be deemed to have terminated following the Participant's layoff until the earlier of the end of the twelve-month period following layoff (without a return to employment with the Affiliated Companies) or the date on which the Participant retires under any pension plan maintained by the Affiliated Companies.

(7)A Participant's S & MS Deferred Compensation Account shall be paid to the Participant no later than the January 5 next preceding the Participant's 80th birthday.

(8)In no event will payments of amounts in the Participant's NG BEP Account and the S & MS Deferred Compensation Account be accelerated or deferred beyond the payment schedule provided under the Merged Plans. However, any election to change the time or form of payment for such an amount may be made based on the terms of the relevant Merged Plan as in effect on October 3, 2004.

(b)    BDM Account. Distributions of a Participant's vested BDM Account balance shall be made in accordance with this Section C.2(b), and Article VI shall not apply to such distributions. A Participant shall be vested in his BDM Account balance in accordance with the vesting provisions of the BDM Plan.

(1)Timing of Payment: A Participant's vested BDM Account balance shall be distributed in accordance with elections made under the BDM Plan. For those Participants who have not commenced distributions as of April 29, 2005, payments from the BDM Account will commence at the time designated on his or her BDM enrollment and election form, unless extended prior to such date. However, if such a Participant did not elect a fixed date (or elect the earlier of a fixed date or termination of employment), his or her vested BDM Account balance will be paid as soon as administratively practicable following termination of employment in the form designated under Section C.2(b)(2) below.

(2)Form of Payment: A Participant's vested BDM Account balance shall be paid in cash. The vested BDM Account balance will be paid in (i) a lump sum, (ii) five (5) or ten (10) substantially equal annual installments (adjusted for gains and losses), or (iii) a combination thereof, as selected by the Participant (or Beneficiary) prior to the date on which amounts are first payable to the Participant (or Beneficiary) under Section C.2(b)(1) above. If the Participant fails to designate properly the manner of payment, such payment will be made in a lump sum.

(3)Death Benefits: If a Participant dies before commencement of payment of his BDM Account balance, the entire Account balance will be paid at the times provided in Section C.2(b)(2) above to his or her Beneficiary. If a Participant dies after commencement but before he or she has received all payments from his vested BDM Account balance, the remaining installments shall be paid annually to the Beneficiary. For purposes of this Section C.2(b), a Participant's Beneficiary, unless subsequently changed, will be the designated beneficiary(ies) under the BDM Plan or if none, the Participant's spouse, if then living, but otherwise the Participant's then living descendants, if any, per stirpes, but, if none, the Participant's estate.

(4)Lost Participant: In the event that the Administrative Committee is unable to locate a Participant or Beneficiary within three years following the payment date under Section C.2(b)(1) above, the amount allocated to the Participant's BDM Account shall be forfeited. If, after such forfeiture and prior to termination of the Plan, the Participant or Beneficiary later claims such benefit, such benefit shall be reinstated without interest or earnings for the forfeiture period. In lieu of such a forfeiture, the Administrative Committee has the discretion to direct distribution of the vested BDM Account balance to any one or more or all of the Participant's next of kin, and in the proportions as the Administrative Committee determines.

(5)Committee Rules: All distributions are subject to the rules and procedures of the Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may also require the use of particular forms. The

C2

[2:30 PM] DRAFT

Administrative Committee may change its rules, procedures and forms from time to time and without prior notice to Participants.

(6)Payment Schedule: In no event will payments of amounts in the Participant's BDM Account be accelerated or deferred beyond the payment schedule provided under the BDM Plan.

(7)Application to Trustee: BDM International, Inc. set aside amounts in a grantor trust to assist it in meeting its obligations under the BDM Plan. Notwithstanding Section C.2(b)(5) above and the claims procedures provided in Section 7.8, a Participant may make application for payment of benefits under this Section C.2(b) directly to the trustee of such trust.

(c)PRC EDCP Account. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions in this Section C.2(c) summarize the distribution rules in effect under the PRC Plan with respect to the PRC EDCP Account balances, and those PRC Plan distribution terms shall continue to govern the distributions of the PRC EDCP Account balances. Article VI and Appendix B shall not apply to the PRC EDCP Account balances. Nothing in this Section C.2(c) shall change or alter the distribution terms of the PRC Plan in effect as of any date. All capitalized terms in this Section C.2(c) not otherwise defined in the Plan shall be defined in accordance with the terms of the PRC Plan as in effect immediately prior to the PRC Plan's merger with the Plan on November 9, 2012.

(1)Vesting. All Participants are vested in their PRC EDCP Account balances in accordance with the vesting provisions of the PRC Plan.

(2)Fixed Payment Dates; Termination of Employment. A Participant's vested PRC EDCP Account balance shall be distributed in accordance with his elections made under the PRC Plan. However, if such a Participant did not elect a fixed date or termination of employment with all Employers (or elect the earlier of a fixed date or termination of employment) for any particular portion of his or her vested PRC EDCP Account, such portion of his or her PRC EDCP Account balance will be valued and payable at or commence at such Participant's termination of employment according to the provisions of Sections C.2(c)(4) and (5).

(3)Hardship Distributions. In the event of financial hardship of the Participant, as hereinafter defined, the Participant may apply to the Administrative Committee for the distribution of all or any part or his or her vested PRC EDCP Account. The Administrative Committee shall consider the circumstances of each such case, and the best interests of the Participant and his or her family, and shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, if applicable, to allow such distribution, or, if applicable, to direct a distribution of part of the amount requested, or to refuse to allow any distribution. Upon a finding of financial hardship, the Administrative Committee shall make or cause the appropriate distribution to be made to the Participant from amounts held by the Company or the Trustee in respect of the Participant's vested PRC EDCP Account. In no event shall the aggregate amount of the distribution exceed either the full value of the Participant's vested PRC EDCP Account or the amount determined by the Administrative Committee, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be necessary to alleviate the Participant's financial hardship (which financial hardship may be considered to include any taxes due because of the distribution occurring because of this Section), and which is not reasonably available from other resources of the Participant. For purposes of this Section, the value of the Participant's vested PRC EDCP Account shall be determined as of the date of the distribution. "Financial hardship" means (i) a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or of a dependent (as defined in Code section 152(a)) of the Participant, (ii) loss of the Participant's property due to casualty, or (iii) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant, each as determined to exist by the Administrative Committee. A distribution may be made under this Section only with the consent of the Administrative Committee.

(4)Amount and Time of Payment. Subject to Section C.2(c)(3), a Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) shall become entitled to receive a vested PRC EDCP Sub-Account balance commencing on the Payment Date for such sub-account. For this purpose, the "Payment Date" will be the relevant date or event triggering payment as provided under Section C.2(c)(2). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant may elect to postpone a Payment Date to a later date, provided the election is made at least 12 months prior to the scheduled Payment Date. For example, a Participant could elect (i) to postpone a fixed payment date to a later fixed payment date, or (ii) elect to postpone the payment date for an amount payable upon termination of employment to a date that necessarily occurs after termination of employment (e.g., two years after termination of employment). There is no limit on the number of such elections a Participant may make. Any payment due hereunder from the Trust which is not paid by the Trust for any reason will be paid by the Employer from its general assets.

(5)Method of Payment.

C3

[2:30 PM] DRAFT

(i)Form of Payment. Unless otherwise elected by the Participant and permitted by the Trustee in its sole and absolute discretion, a Participant's vested PRC EDCP Account balance shall be paid in cash. In the case of distributions to a Participant or his or her Beneficiary by virtue of an entitlement pursuant to Section C.2(c)(2), an aggregate amount equal to the Participant's vested PRC EDCP Sub-Account will be paid by the Trust or the Employer, as provided by Section C.2(c)(4), in a lump sum or in five (5) or ten (10) substantially equal annual installments (adjusted for gains and losses, and reduced by any required withholding or other deductions from such payments), as selected by the Participant on his or her Participant Enrollment and Election Form for such sub-account. If the Participant fails to designate properly the manner of payment, such payment will be made in a lump sum.

If a Participant receiving installment distributions pursuant to Section C.2(c)(7) is re-employed by the Employer, the remaining distributions due to the Participant shall be suspended until such time as the Participant (or his or her Beneficiary) once again becomes eligible for benefit payments, at which time such distribution shall commence, subject to the limitations and conditions contained in the PRC Plan.

(ii)Subsequent Deferral Elections. Such form of payment may be changed by the Participant provided (A) the election is made at least 12 months prior to the payment date for the PRC EDCP Sub-Account provided under Section C.2(c)(4) and (B) the form of payment is not accelerated (i.e., an election of installments may not be changed to a lump sum and an election of 10 annual installments may not be changed to 5 annual installments). There is no limit on the number of such elections a Participant may make.

(6)Death Benefits. If a Participant dies before terminating his or her employment with the Employer and before the commencement of payments to the Participant hereunder, the entire value of the Participant's PRC EDCP Account (which may include credits for insurance contract death benefits deemed to be received by the PRC EDCP Account) shall be paid, as provided in Section C.2(c)(5), to the Beneficiary designated under the Plan, unless the Employer elects a more rapid form or schedule of distribution.

Upon the death of a Participant after payments hereunder have begun but before he or she has received all payments to which he or she is entitled under the Plan, the remaining benefit payments shall be paid to the Beneficiary designated under the Plan, in the manner in which such benefits were payable to the Participant, unless the Employer elects a more rapid form or schedule of distribution.

(7)Application to Trustee. Notwithstanding Section 6.7 above and the claims procedures provided in Section 7.8, on the date or dates on which a Participant or Beneficiary is entitled to payment under Section C.2(c)(2), the Participant or Beneficiary need not make application for payment to the Administrative Committee, but instead may make application for payment directly to the Trustee who shall, subject to any restrictions or limitations contained in the Trust, pay the Participant or Beneficiary the appropriate amount directly from the Trust without the consent of PRC or the Employer. The Trustee shall report the amount of each such payment, and any withholding thereon, to the Company.

Equity [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE, SHARE REPURCHASES AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

EARNINGS PER SHARE, SHARE REPURCHASES AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON STOCK

Basic Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.

Diluted Earnings Per Share

Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans. The dilutive effect of these securities totaled 0.5 million shares and 0.6 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 0.6 million shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Share Repurchases

On January 25, 2021, the company’s board of directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to $3.0 billion of the company’s common stock (the “2021 Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the 2021 Repurchase Program commenced in October 2021 and were completed in April 2023.

On January 24, 2022, the company’s board of directors authorized a new share repurchase program of up to an additional $2.0 billion in share repurchases of the company’s common stock (the “2022 Repurchase Program”). Repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program commenced in April 2023 upon completion of the 2021 Repurchase Program. As of June 30, 2023, repurchases under the 2022 Repurchase Program totaled 0.3 billion; $1.7 billion remained under this share repurchase authorization. By its terms, the 2022 Repurchase Program will expire when we have used all authorized funds for repurchases.

During the first quarter of 2023, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America) to repurchase $500 million of the company’s common stock as part of the 2021 and 2022 Repurchase Programs. Under the agreement, we made a payment of $500 million to Bank of America and received an initial delivery of 0.9 million shares valued at $400 million that were immediately canceled by the company. The remaining balance of $100 million was settled on April 27, 2023 with a final delivery of 0.2 million shares from Bank of America. The final average purchase price was $458.28 per share.

Share repurchases take place from time to time, subject to market conditions and management’s discretion, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The company retires its common stock upon repurchase and, in the periods presented, has not made any purchases of common stock other than in connection with these publicly announced repurchase programs.

The table below summarizes the company’s share repurchases to date under the authorizations described above:

							Shares Repurchased (in millions)
Repurchase Program Authorization Date	Amount Authorized (in millions)		Total Shares Retired (in millions)	Average  Price Per Share(1)		Date Completed	Six Months Ended June 30

Dividends on Common Stock

In May 2023, the company increased the quarterly common stock dividend 8 percent to $1.87 per share from the previous amount of $1.73 per share.

Effective income tax rate	17.7		%	17.7		%	16.7		%	17.1		%

Current Quarter

The company’s second quarter 2023 effective tax rate (ETR) of 17.7 percent was comparable with the prior year period and reflects higher interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits, offset by favorable returns on tax-exempt marketable securities. The second quarter 2023 ETR includes benefits of $38 million for research credits and $14 million for foreign derived intangible income (FDII). The second quarter 2022 ETR included benefits of $41 million for research credits and $15 million for FDII.

Year to Date

The company’s year to date 2023 ETR decreased to 16.7 percent from 17.1 percent in the prior year period principally due to higher current year ETR benefits associated with research credits and FDII deductions as well as favorable returns on tax-exempt marketable securities, partially offset by higher interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits. The year to date 2023 ETR includes benefits of $78 million for research credits and $29 million for FDII. The year to date 2022 ETR included benefits of $82 million for research credits and $29 million for FDII.

Taxes receivable, which are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position, were $566 million as of June 30, 2023 and $850 million as of December 31, 2022.

The company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits related to our methods of accounting associated with the timing of revenue recognition and related costs and the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes related final revenue recognition regulations issued in December 2020 under IRC Section 451(b) and procedural guidance issued in August 2021. As of June 30, 2023, we have approximately $1.6 billion in unrecognized tax benefits, including $601 million related to our position on IRC Section 451(b). If these matters, including our position on IRC Section 451(b), are unfavorably resolved, there could be a material impact on our future cash flows. It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits related to these matters may increase by approximately $120 million.

In the second quarter of 2023, the California Franchise Tax Board approved a resolution of the state examination primarily related to California state apportionment in the company’s 2007 to 2016 tax years, resulting in a $95 million reduction to our unrecognized tax benefits and an $11 million reduction to unallocated corporate expense.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. The Northrop Grumman 2014-2020 federal tax returns and refund claims related to its 2007-2016 federal tax returns are currently under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) examination. During the second quarter of 2023, the company entered into an agreed Revenue Agent’s Report (“RAR”) for certain matters related to the company’s 2014-2017 federal income tax returns, resulting in a $90 million reduction to our unrecognized tax benefits and an immaterial impact to income tax expense.

Our current unrecognized tax benefits, which are included in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position, were $689 million and $728 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, with the remainder of our unrecognized tax benefits included within Other non-current liabilities.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSThe company holds a portfolio of marketable securities to partially fund non-qualified employee benefit plans. A portion of these securities are held in common/collective trust funds and are measured at fair value using net asset value (NAV) per share as a practical expedient; therefore, they are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy table below. Marketable securities are included in Other non-current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

The company’s derivative portfolio consists primarily of foreign currency forward contracts. Where model-derived valuations are appropriate, the company utilizes the income approach to determine the fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs.

The following table presents the financial assets and liabilities the company records at fair value on a recurring basis identified by the level of inputs used to determine fair value:

	June 30, 2023								December 31, 2022
$ in millions	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Financial Assets
Marketable securities	$	316	$	—	$	8	$	324	$	310	$	1	$	8	$	319

Total marketable securities	316		—		8		334		310		1		8		332
Derivatives	—		2		—		2		—		7		—		7

The notional value of the company’s foreign currency forward contracts at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $271 million and $221 million, respectively. The portion of notional value designated as a cash flow hedge at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $59 million and $87 million, respectively.

The derivative fair values and related unrealized gains/losses at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were not material.

There were no transfers of financial instruments into or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and commercial paper approximates fair value.

Long-term Debt

The estimated fair value of long-term debt was $14.3 billion and $12.1 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We calculated the fair value of long-term debt using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the company’s existing debt arrangements. The current portion of long-term debt is recorded in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Unsecured Senior Notes

In February 2023, the company issued $2.0 billion of unsecured senior notes for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repayment (including our 3.25% senior notes due in August 2023), share repurchases, and working capital, as follows:

•$1.0 billion of 4.70% senior notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”) and

•$1.0 billion of 4.95% senior notes due 2053 (the “2053 Notes”).

We refer to the 2033 Notes and the 2053 Notes, together, as the “notes.” Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. The notes are generally subject to redemption, in whole or in part, at the company’s discretion at any time, or from time to time, prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to the greater of 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed or an applicable “make-whole” amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Disclosure Text Block Supplement [Abstract]

INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS AND LITIGATION

The company is engaged in remediation activities relating to environmental conditions allegedly resulting from historic operations at the former United States Navy and Grumman facilities in Bethpage, New York. For over 20 years, the company has worked closely with the United States Navy, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), the New York State Department of Health and other federal, state and local governmental authorities, to address legacy environmental conditions in Bethpage. In December 2019, the State of New York issued an Amended Record of Decision seeking to impose additional remedial requirements beyond measures the company previously had been taking. In December 2020, the parties reached a tentative agreement regarding the steps the company would take to implement the State’s Amended Record of Decision and to resolve certain potential other claims, including for natural resource damages. On September 22, 2021, the State of New York issued for public comment a new consent decree reflecting the agreement. On December 7, 2021, the public comment period closed. On August 3, 2022, the court approved the consent decree. We have also reached agreements with the Department of Defense and the Bethpage and South Farmingdale Water Districts to resolve claims involving these parties. Those agreements have also been approved by the courts as necessary. The company continues to be involved in related disputes with the Towns of Oyster Bay and Hempstead.

We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, as included in Note 6, substantial remediation costs related to the legacy Bethpage environmental conditions. It is also possible that applicable remediation standards and other requirements to which we are subject may continue to change, and that our costs may increase materially. In addition to disputes and legal proceedings related to environmental conditions and remediation at the site, we are a party to various individual lawsuits and a putative class action alleging personal injury and property damage in the Eastern District of New York. The filed individual lawsuits have been stayed, pending a court decision on class certification. We are also a party, and may become a party, to other lawsuits brought by or against insurance carriers, and by other individual plaintiffs and/or putative classes, as well as other parties. We cannot at this time predict or reasonably estimate the potential cumulative outcomes or ranges of possible liability of these Bethpage lawsuits.

In June 2018, the FTC issued a Decision and Order enabling the company’s acquisition of OATK to proceed and providing generally for the company to continue to make solid rocket motors available to competing missile primes on a non-discriminatory basis. The company has taken and continues to take robust actions to help ensure compliance with the terms of the Order. Similarly, the Compliance Officer, appointed under the Order, and the FTC have taken and continue to take various actions to oversee compliance. In October 2019, the company received a civil investigative demand (CID) from the FTC requesting certain information relating to a potential issue regarding the company’s compliance with the Order in connection with a then pending missile competition. The company promptly provided information in response to the request. In late 2021, the company resumed discussions with staff at the FTC regarding our response and their views on compliance issues. In late 2022, the company received a follow-on CID; the company responded to it earlier this year. We cannot predict any additional steps, but we do not believe they are likely to have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows. We believe the company has been and continues to be in compliance with the Order.

The company received from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) a criminal subpoena on December 9, 2022, and a civil investigative demand on February 2, 2023, both seeking information regarding financial and cost accounting and controls that appears focused on the interest rate assumptions the company used to determine our CAS pension expense, which we have previously discussed in Note 6 below. The company is engaging with the government and responding to the requests. We cannot at this point predict the outcome of these matters.

The company is a party to various other investigations, lawsuits, arbitration, claims, enforcement actions and other legal proceedings, including government investigations and claims, that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The nature of legal proceedings is such that we cannot assure the outcome of any particular matter. However, based on information available to the company to date, the company does not believe that the outcome of any of these other matters pending against the company is likely to have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

U.S. Government Cost Claims and Contingencies

From time to time, the company is advised of claims by the U.S. government concerning certain potential disallowed costs, plus, at times, penalties and interest. When such findings are presented, the company and U.S. government

representatives engage in discussions to enable the company to evaluate the merits of these claims, as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect the company’s estimated exposure for such potential disallowed costs. Such provisions are reviewed periodically using the most recent information available. The company believes it has adequately reserved for disputed amounts that are probable and reasonably estimable, and that the outcome of any such matters would not have a material adverse effect on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

In 2019, the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) raised questions about an interest rate assumption used by the company to determine our CAS pension expense. On June 1, 2020, DCMA provided written notice that the assumptions the company used during the period 2013-2019 were potentially noncompliant with CAS. We submitted a formal response on July 31, 2020, which we believed demonstrates the appropriateness of the assumptions used. On November 24, 2020, DCMA replied to the company’s response, disagreeing with our position and requesting additional input, which we provided on February 22, 2021. We have continued to exchange correspondence and engage with DCMA and DoD on this matter, including responding to requests for and providing additional information. As noted in Note 5 above, the company received from the DOJ a criminal subpoena on December 9, 2022 and a CID on February 2, 2023, both seeking information that appears related to the interest rate assumptions at issue in our discussions with DCMA. The company is engaging with the government and responding to the requests. We cannot at this point predict the outcome of these matters. The company is also continuing to engage with DCMA/DoD. As previously described, the sensitivity to changes in interest rate assumptions makes it reasonably possible the outcome of the DCMA matter could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows, although we are not currently able to estimate a range of any potential loss.

B-21 Low-Rate Initial Production Options

In 2015, the U.S. Air Force awarded to Northrop Grumman the B-21 contract, including a base contract for engineering, manufacturing, and design (EMD) and five low-rate initial production (LRIP) options. The EMD phase of the program is largely cost type and began at contract award. The LRIP options are largely fixed price and are expected to be awarded and executed through approximately the end of the decade. In the second quarter of 2023, we again reviewed our estimated cost to complete the LRIP phase of the B-21 program. Principally due to the company’s estimate of the impact macroeconomic factors may have on our cost to complete the LRIP options, as well as ongoing discussions with our suppliers and our customer, we continue to believe it is reasonably possible one or more of the LRIP options could be performed at a loss and the range of such loss across the five LRIP options is between $0 and $1.2 billion. As we do not currently believe a loss is probable on any of the LRIP options, we have not recognized any such loss in our financial results for the period ended June 30, 2023.

Environmental Matters

The table below summarizes the amount accrued for environmental remediation costs, management’s estimate of the amount of reasonably possible future costs in excess of accrued costs and the deferred costs expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

$ in millions	Accrued Costs(1)(2)		Reasonably Possible Future Costs in Excess of Accrued Costs(2)		Deferred Costs(3)
June 30, 2023	$	562	$	353	$	490
December 31, 2022	565		353		486

(1) As of June 30, 2023, $202 million is recorded in Other current liabilities and $360 million is recorded in Other non-current liabilities.

(2) Estimated remediation costs are not discounted to present value. The reasonably possible future costs in excess of accrued costs do not take into consideration amounts expected to be recoverable through overhead charges on U.S. government contracts.

(3) As of June 30, 2023, $181 million is deferred in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and $309 million is deferred in Other non-current assets. These amounts are evaluated for recoverability on a routine basis.

Although management cannot predict whether (i) new information gained as our environmental remediation projects progress, (ii) changes in remediation standards or other requirements to which we are subject, or (iii) other changes in facts and circumstances will materially affect the estimated liability accrued, we do not anticipate that future remediation expenditures associated with our currently identified projects will have a material adverse effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2023, or its annual results of operations and/or cash flows.

Financial Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, the company uses standby letters of credit and guarantees issued by commercial banks and surety bonds issued principally by insurance companies to guarantee the performance on certain obligations. At June 30, 2023, there were $356 million of stand-by letters of credit and guarantees and $79 million of surety bonds outstanding.

Commercial Paper

The company maintains a commercial paper program that serves as a source of short-term financing with capacity to issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to $2.5 billion. At June 30, 2023, there were $779 million of outstanding short-term commercial paper borrowings at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.73% that have original maturities of three months or less from the date of issuance. The outstanding balance of commercial paper borrowings is recorded in Other current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Credit Facilities

The company maintains a five-year senior unsecured credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $2.5 billion (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) that matures in August 2027 and is intended to support the company's commercial paper program and other general corporate purposes. Commercial paper borrowings reduce the amount available for borrowing under the 2022 Credit Agreement. At June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding under this facility; however, the amount available for borrowing was reduced by the $779 million of outstanding, short-term commercial paper borrowings described above.

FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment

For financial statement purposes, we account for our employee pension plans in accordance with FAS. However, the cost of these plans is charged to our contracts in accordance with applicable Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) requirements. The FAS/CAS operating adjustment reflects the difference between CAS pension expense included as cost in segment operating income and the service cost component of FAS expense included in total operating income.

Unallocated Corporate Expense

Unallocated corporate expense includes the portion of corporate costs not considered allowable or allocable under the applicable FAR and CAS requirements, and therefore not allocated to the segments, such as changes in deferred state income taxes and a portion of management and administration, legal, environmental, compensation, retiree benefits, advertising and other corporate unallowable costs. Unallocated corporate expense also includes costs not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, such as amortization of purchased intangible assets and the additional depreciation expense related to the step-up in fair value of property, plant and equipment acquired through business combinations, as well as certain compensation and other costs.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (the “financial statements”) include the accounts of Northrop Grumman Corporation and its subsidiaries and joint ventures or other investments for which we consolidate the financial results (herein referred to as “Northrop Grumman,” the “company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated in consolidation. Investments in equity securities and joint ventures where the company has significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method.

Basis of Presentation

These financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” or “FAS”) and in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. The financial statements include adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Results reported in these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. During the first quarter of 2023, we changed the presentation of the components of other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax in the Unaudited condensed consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to current period presentation. This change in presentation had no impact on our previously reported comprehensive income in total.

Fiscal Period Policy

Quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30 and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is the company’s long-standing practice to establish actual interim closing dates using a “fiscal” calendar, in which we close our books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. This practice is only used at interim periods within a reporting year.

Accounting Estimates

Preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of sales and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared using the most current and best available information; however, actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue from Contract with Customer

Contract Estimates

We recognize changes in estimated contract sales or costs and the resulting changes in contract profit on a cumulative basis. Net estimate-at-completion (EAC) adjustments represent the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods; sales and operating margins in future periods are recognized as if the revised estimates had been used since contract inception. If it is determined that a loss is expected to result on an individual performance obligation, the entire amount of the estimable future loss, including an allocation of general and administrative expense, is charged against income in the period the loss is identified.

Contract Assets and LiabilitiesFor each of the company’s contracts, the timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a net contract asset or liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets are equivalent to and reflected as Unbilled receivables in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position and are primarily related to long-term contracts where revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost method exceeds amounts billed to customers. Contract liabilities are equivalent to and reflected as Advance payments and billings in excess of costs incurred in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic earnings per share by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period.Diluted earnings per share include the dilutive effect of awards granted to employees under stock-based compensation plans.

Investments in Marketable Securities

The company holds a portfolio of marketable securities to partially fund non-qualified employee benefit plans. A portion of these securities are held in common/collective trust funds and are measured at fair value using net asset value (NAV) per share as a practical expedient; therefore, they are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy table

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Where model-derived valuations are appropriate, the company utilizes the income approach to determine the fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt

We calculated the fair value of long-term debt using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the company’s existing debt arrangements.

U.S. Government Cost Claims

From time to time, the company is advised of claims by the U.S. government concerning certain potential disallowed costs, plus, at times, penalties and interest. When such findings are presented, the company and U.S. government representatives engage in discussions to enable the company to evaluate the merits of these claims, as well as to assess the amounts being claimed. Where appropriate, provisions are made to reflect the company’s estimated exposure for such potential disallowed costs. Such provisions are reviewed periodically using the most recent information available.

Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

We fund our defined benefit pension plans annually in a manner consistent with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by the Pension Protection Act of 2006

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

Accounting standards updates adopted and/or issued, but not effective until after June 30, 2023, are not expected to have a material effect on the company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, annual results of operations and/or cash flows.
