Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. ("Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings" or the "Company") has prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, including the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned and majority owned subsidiaries, in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The December 31, 2022, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all of the disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A No. 2 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information for prior periods to conform to the current period’s presentation.

The Company believes the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair statement of its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In addition, the operating results for interim periods may not be indicative of the results of operations for a full year.

The Company’s operations are organized into two segments:

Aerospace and Defense — includes the operations of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc. ("Aerojet Rocketdyne"), a leading technology-based designer, developer and manufacturer of aerospace and defense products and systems for the United States ("U.S.") government, including the Department of Defense ("DoD"), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration ("NASA"), and major aerospace and defense prime contractors.

Real Estate — includes the activities of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary Easton Development Company, LLC ("Easton") related to the re-zoning, entitlement, sale, and leasing of the Company’s excess real estate assets.

The fiscal year of the Company's subsidiary, Aerojet Rocketdyne, ends on the last Saturday in December.

A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A No. 2 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Out of Period Adjustment

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded an out of period adjustment related to the completeness and accuracy of its accounting for excess costs on fixed-price contracts in nearly complete or inactive status. The out of period adjustment resulted in a decrease in net sales of $6.0 million, an increase in cost of sales of $0.5 million, and a decrease in the income tax provision of $1.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company has evaluated the effects of this error, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and does not believe the correction was material to any current or prior interim or annual periods that were affected.

L3Harris Technologies, Inc. ("L3Harris") Merger Agreement

On December 17, 2022, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), with L3Harris and Aquila Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of L3Harris ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the "Merger") with the Company being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of L3Harris.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of the Company's common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be canceled and converted into the right to receive $58.00 in cash, without interest, plus, if the closing occurs after September 17, 2023, $0.0025 for each calendar day elapsed after such date up to and including the closing date.

On March 15, 2023, the Company received a request for additional information from the Federal Trade Commission as part of the regulatory review process for the acquisition of the Company by L3Harris.

On March 16, 2023, the stockholders of the Company voted in favor of approving the Merger Agreement at a special meeting.

Closing of the Merger is anticipated to occur in 2023, subject to various customary conditions, including regulatory clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. This guidance eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity’s own equity. The guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. The Company adopted the new

guidance as of January 1, 2022, using the modified retrospective approach resulting in the following adjustment (i) a decrease of $1.9 million in deferred tax liabilities, (ii) a decrease of $5.6 million in other capital, (iii) a decrease of $1.0 million in retained earnings, and (iv) an increase of $8.5 million in debt. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company settled its outstanding convertible debt.
