NOTE 3 – DIVESTITURES

Divestiture of the Information Systems & Global Solutions Business

On August 16, 2016, we completed the divestiture of our IS&GS business, which merged with a subsidiary of Leidos in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Transaction”). The Transaction was completed in a multi-step process pursuant to which we initially contributed the IS&GS business to Abacus Innovations Corporation (Abacus), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin created to facilitate the Transaction, and the common stock of Abacus was distributed to participating Lockheed Martin stockholders through an exchange offer. Under the terms of the exchange offer, Lockheed Martin stockholders had the option to exchange shares of Lockheed Martin common stock for shares of Abacus common stock. At the conclusion of the exchange offer, all shares of Abacus common stock were exchanged for 9,369,694 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock held by Lockheed Martin stockholders that elected to participate in the exchange. The shares of Lockheed Martin common stock that were exchanged and accepted were retired, reducing the number of shares of our common stock outstanding by approximately 3%. Following the exchange offer, Abacus merged with a subsidiary of Leidos, with Abacus continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leidos.

As a result of the Transaction, we recognized a net gain of approximately $1.2 billion in the third quarter of 2016. The net gain represents the $2.5 billion fair value of the shares of Lockheed Martin common stock exchanged and retired as part of the exchange offer, plus a $1.8 billion one-time special cash payment received from Abacus, less the net book value of the IS&GS business of about $3.0 billion at August 16, 2016 and other adjustments of about $100 million. The final gain is subject to certain post-closing adjustments, including final working capital, indemnification, and tax adjustments, which we expect to complete in 2017.

 

The operating results of the IS&GS business for the quarter ended March 27, 2016 that have been reflected within net earnings from discontinued operations are as follows (in millions):

The operating results of the IS&GS business reported as discontinued operations for the quarter ended March 27, 2016 are different than results previously reported for the IS&GS business segment. Results reported within net earnings from discontinued operations only include costs that were directly attributable to the IS&GS business and exclude general corporate overhead costs that were previously allocated to the IS&GS business. Certain general corporate overhead costs incurred by us and historically allocated to the IS&GS business in the first quarter of 2016 were not directly attributable to the IS&GS business. As a result, we reclassified these costs from the IS&GS business to other unallocated, net in our consolidated statement of earnings. During the quarter ended March 27, 2016, we reclassified $35 million of general corporate overhead costs to other unallocated, net.

Additionally, we retained all assets and obligations related to the pension benefits earned by former IS&GS business salaried employees through the date of divestiture of the IS&GS business. As a result, the non-service portion of net pension costs (interest cost, actuarial gains and losses and expected return on plan assets) for these plans was reclassified from the operating results of the IS&GS business segment and reported as a reduction to the FAS/CAS pension adjustment. These net costs were $22 million in the first quarter of 2016. The service portion of pension costs related to the IS&GS business’s salaried employees that transferred to Leidos continue to be included in the operating results of the IS&GS business classified as discontinued operations because such costs will no longer be incurred by us.

Financial information related to the IS&GS business’s cash flows, such as depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, and other non-cash items included in our consolidated statements of cash flows for the quarter ended March 27, 2016 were not significant.
