Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. 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, 2020, 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 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain reclassifications have been made to financial information for prior years to conform to the current year’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 most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Merger
On December 20, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Lockheed Martin Corporation ("Lockheed Martin") and Mizar Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin ("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 Lockheed Martin. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $51.00 per share (adjusted from $56.00 following the payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend, as discussed below).
In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend of $5.00 per share (including shares underlying the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes ("2¼% Notes") participating on an as-converted basis) (the "Pre-Closing Dividend"). On March 24, 2021, the Company paid the Pre-Closing Dividend to holders of record as of March 10, 2021. Payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend was made in connection with the anticipated acquisition of the Company by Lockheed Martin. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company's payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend adjusted the consideration to be paid by Lockheed Martin at closing from $56.00 per share to $51.00 per share.
On February 18, 2021, the Company received a request for additional information ("second request") from the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") as part of the regulatory review process for the acquisition of the Company by Lockheed Martin.
On March 9, 2021, the stockholders of the Company voted in favor of approving the Merger Agreement at a special meeting.
As part of the regulatory review process of the transaction, on September 24, 2021, the Company and Lockheed Martin each certified substantial compliance with the FTC’s second request, and the parties continue to engage with the FTC. Subject to satisfactory completion of the regulatory review process and satisfaction of the other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement, closing is anticipated to occur in the first quarter of 2022. As previously disclosed, under the Merger Agreement, the “outside” date that gives rise to certain termination rights will automatically be extended from December 21, 2021, to March 21, 2022, in circumstances where all conditions have been satisfied but for the receipt of regulatory approvals.
Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company’s financial results and operations were not materially adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a defense industrial-base U.S. government contractor, the Company is considered an essential business by the U.S. and state governments and it continues to operate as such during the COVID-19 pandemic. The extent to which the Company’s future financial results could be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time. The Company is not aware of any specific
6


event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or a revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities as of the date of issuance of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Recently Issued 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. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2022 and must be applied using either a modified or full retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Note 2. Earnings Per Share ("EPS") of Common Stock

Note 3. Revenue Recognition
In the Company’s Aerospace and Defense segment, the majority of revenue is earned from long-term contracts to design, develop, and manufacture aerospace and defense products for, and provide related services to, the Company’s customers, including the U.S. government and major aerospace and defense prime contractors.
The Company evaluates the contract value and cost estimates for performance obligations at least quarterly and more frequently when circumstances significantly change. Factors considered in estimating the work to be completed include, but are not limited to: labor productivity, the nature and technical complexity of the work to be performed, availability and cost volatility of materials, subcontractor and vendor performance, warranty costs, volume assumptions, anticipated labor agreements, inflationary trends, schedule and performance delays, availability of funding from the customer, and the recoverability of costs incurred outside the original contract included in any estimates to complete. When the Company’s estimate of total costs to be incurred to satisfy a performance obligation exceeds the expected revenue, the Company recognizes the loss immediately. When the Company determines that a change in estimates has an impact on the associated profit of a performance obligation, the Company records the cumulative positive or negative adjustment to the statement of operations. Changes in estimates and assumptions related to the status of certain long-term contracts may have a material effect on the Company’s operating results. The following table summarizes the impact of the changes in significant contract accounting estimates on the Company’s Aerospace and Defense segment operating results:

 2021202020212020
 (In millions, except per share amounts)

Net favorable effect of the changes in contract estimates on income before income taxes10.8 3.2 32.4 21.4

Net favorable effect of the changes in contract estimates on diluted EPS0.10 0.03 0.29 0.19 
For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, net favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by improved performance and risk retirements on the RS-68, Patriot Advanced Capability-3 ("PAC-3"), and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense ("THAAD") programs partially offset by cost growth on a portion of the Standard Missile and Commercial Crew program. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, net favorable changes in contract estimates were primarily driven by improved performance and risk retirements on the THAAD, RS-68, RL-10, and PAC-3 programs partially offset by cost growth on a portion of the Standard Missile and Commercial Crew program.
In the Company’s Aerospace and Defense segment, the timing of revenue recognition, customer invoicing, and collections produces accounts receivable, contract assets, and contract liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes contract assets and liabilities:
September 30, 2021December 31, 2020
 (In millions)
Contract assets$332.2 $294.3 
Reserve for overhead rate disallowance(4.5)(5.7)
Contract assets, net of reserve327.7 288.6 
Contract liabilities342.2 407.2 
Net contract liabilities, net of reserve$(14.5)$(118.6)
Net contract liabilities decreased by $104.1 million from December 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in contract advances and an increase in unbilled receivables. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized sales of $329.4 million that were included in the Company's contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020.
As of September 30, 2021, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog, totaled $7.0 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 32%, or $2.3 billion, of the remaining performance obligations as sales over the next twelve months, an additional 26% the following twelve months, and 42% thereafter.
The Company's contracts are largely categorized as either "fixed-price" (largely used by the U.S. government for production-type contracts) or "cost-reimbursable" (largely used by the U.S. government for development-type contracts). Fixed-price contracts present the risk of unreimbursed cost overruns, potentially resulting in lower than expected contract profits and margins. This risk is generally lower for cost-reimbursable contracts which, as a result, generally have a lower margin. The following table summarizes the percentages of net sales by contract type:

a. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments are classified using a three-tiered fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
