Highlight of Business Operations:

Gross margin included a FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment of $11 million of income compared to $34 million of expense in the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $22 million of income compared to $67 million of expense in the first six months of 2009 and 2008, respectively. The FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, which we report as a separate line item in our segment results, represents the difference between our pension expense or income under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and our pension expense under U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS). For more information on the FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, see our discussion below in Segment Results. The results of each segment only include pension expense under CAS that we generally recover through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. Government.

Income from continuing operations was $504 million and $1.24 per diluted share on 397.3 million average diluted shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $432 million and $0.99 per diluted share on 430.0 million average diluted shares outstanding in the second quarter of 2008. The increase in Income from continuing operations of $72 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to the second quarter of 2008 was due to $52 million of operational improvements (the change in pre-tax operating income net of the FAS/CAS Pension adjustment) and a $45 million lower FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, both discussed below in Segment Results, and higher Other income, net of $11 million as discussed above. These were partially offset by $25 million of higher taxes related primarily to our higher income and higher net interest expense of $11 million as discussed above.

Income from continuing operations was $961 million and $2.35 per diluted share on 400.6 million average diluted shares outstanding in the first six months of 2009 compared to $833 million and $1.91 per diluted share on 432.3 million average diluted shares outstanding in the first six months of 2008. The increase in Income from continuing operations of $128 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to the first six months of 2008 was due to $111 million of operational improvements (the change in pre-tax operating income net of the FAS/CAS Pension adjustment) and $89 million lower FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment, both discussed below in Segment Results and higher Other (income) expense, net of $11 million as discussed above. These were partially offset by $55 million of higher taxes related primarily to our higher income and higher net interest expense of $28 million.

Net income was $501 million in the second quarter of 2009 compared to $432 million in the second quarter of 2008. Net income was $961 million in the first six months of 2009 compared to $831 million in the first six months of 2008.
