Our defense operations are affected by U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) budget and spending levels, changes in demand, changes in policy positions or priorities, the domestic and global political and economic environment, and the evolving nature of the global and national security threat environment. In addition, our defense businesses engage in both direct commercial sales, which generally require U.S. government licenses and approvals, as well as foreign military sales, which are government-to-government transactions initiated by, and carried out at the direction of, the U.S. government. Changes in these budget and spending levels, policies, or priorities, which are subject to U.S. domestic and foreign geopolitical risks and threats, may impact our defense businesses, including the timing of and delays in U.S. government licenses and approvals for sales, the risk of sanctions, or other restrictions.

Legal Matters. The Company has made progress in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 toward resolving several outstanding legal matters, herein referred to as “Expected Resolution of Certain Legal Matters.” The Company expects to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and to be subject to an administrative order with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations into improper payments made by Raytheon Company and its joint venture, Thales-Raytheon Systems (TRS), in connection with certain Middle East contracts since 2012 (Thales-Raytheon Systems and Related Matters); the Company also expects to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement and a False Claims Act (FCA) settlement agreement with the DOJ to resolve previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations into defective pricing claims for certain legacy Raytheon Company contracts entered into between 2011 and 2013 and in 2017 (DOJ Investigation and Contract Pricing Disputes). In addition, the Company has made progress in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 toward resolving certain voluntarily disclosed export controls violations primarily identified in connection with the integration of Rockwell Collins and, to a lesser extent, Raytheon Company, including certain violations expected to be resolved pursuant to a consent agreement with the Department of State (DOS) (Trade Compliance Matters). As a result of the progress made, we recorded a combined pre-tax charge of $918 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which included an accrual of $269 million related to the DOJ Investigation and Contract Pricing Disputes (in addition to amounts previously accrued), an accrual of $364 million related to Thales-Raytheon Systems and Related Matters (in addition to amounts previously accrued), and an accrual of $285 million related to Trade Compliance Matters.

In February 2023, China announced sanctions against Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD) (a former RTX Corporation (RTX) business segment which became part of Raytheon as a result of the July 1, 2023 RTX segment realignment), and previously announced it may take measures against RTX, in connection with certain foreign military sales to Taiwan. The Chinese sanctions against RMD included a fine equal to twice the value of the arms that RMD sold to Taiwan since September 2020. In addition, in September 2022, China indicated that it decided to sanction our Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, Gregory Hayes, in connection with another foreign military sale to Taiwan involving RTX products and services. In January 2024, China announced sanctions against Data Link Solutions LLC, a Collins joint venture and, most recently, in May 2024, China announced sanctions against Raytheon Missile Systems and the Javelin Joint Venture between Raytheon and Lockheed Martin. If China were to impose additional sanctions, enforce announced sanctions, or take other regulatory action against RTX, our suppliers, affiliates, or partners, it could potentially disrupt our business operations. Any impact of these or other potential sanctions or other actions by China is uncertain.

We have direct commercial sales contracts for products and services to certain foreign customers, for which U.S. government review and approval have been pending. The U.S. government’s approval of these sales is subject to a range of factors, including its foreign policies related to these customers, which are subject to continuing review and potential changes. Likewise, regulatory approvals previously granted for prior sales can be paused or revoked if the products and services have not yet been delivered to the customer. In addition, certain programs require approvals by foreign governments, and those approvals may not be obtained on a timely basis or at all or may be revoked. If we ultimately do not receive all of the regulatory approvals, or those approvals are revoked, it could have a material effect on our financial results. In particular, as of June 30, 2024, our Contract liabilities include approximately $405 million of advance payments received from a Middle East customer on contracts for which we no longer believe we will be able to execute on or obtain required regulatory approvals. These advance payments may become refundable to the customer if the contracts are ultimately terminated.

In particular, during the third quarter of 2024, we received a critical license required to restart work under certain contracts with a Middle East customer. In order to perform under these contracts, significant actions are required, including obtaining additional regulatory approvals, and therefore we have not recognized revenue on these contracts to date. Should the remaining uncertainties be resolved, we do not expect these contracts to have a significant impact on our future financial results. As of September 30, 2024, our Contract liabilities include approximately $430 million of advance payments received in connection with these contracts, which may become refundable to the customer if the contracts are ultimately terminated.

We continue to closely monitor potential impacts to RTX’s business, customers, suppliers, employees, and operations in Israel, the Middle East, and elsewhere relating to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas and the associated rising regional conflicts and tensions, such as Houthi attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, and the U.S. and its partners’ responses to the foregoing. To date, the impacts to RTX have been minimal. RTX’s commercial manufacturing facilities in Israel remain open and operational and have continued exporting products and importing critical items and raw materials. RTX’s defense programs’ ability to receive components from Israel has not been impacted in any material respect, though we could experience future delivery delays of certain products because of the current situation. Given the volatile nature of the situation, the potential impacts to RTX are subject to change.
