NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2024 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are unaudited, and in the opinion of management include adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” and “RTX” mean RTX Corporation and its subsidiaries.
We reclassified certain immaterial prior period amounts within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to conform to our current period presentation.
Raytheon follows a 4-4-5 fiscal calendar while Collins Aerospace (Collins) and Pratt & Whitney use a quarter calendar end. Throughout this Form 10-Q, when we refer to the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 with respect to Raytheon, we are referring to their September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 fiscal quarter ends, respectively.
Legal Matters.The Company has resolved several outstanding legal matters, herein referred to as “Resolution of Certain Legal Matters.” The Company entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Company settled an administrative proceeding with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations into 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 entered into a DPA 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 resolved 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 that were resolved pursuant to a consent agreement with the Department of State (DOS) (Trade Compliance Matters). As a result, we recorded a combined pre-tax charge of $918 million during the second quarter of 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. See “Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies” for additional information.
三年期限的義務。合規監測員將監督雷神公司及本公司的合規情況,確保其遵守DPA-2以及上文「Thales-Raytheon Systems and Related Matters」中討論的DPA-1和SEC行政命令。公司已爲DPA-2和FCA和解協議累計了$579到2024年9月30日,已累計$百萬用於DPA-2和FCA和解協議,這部分款項將在2024年第四季度支付。公司不認爲這些事項會對我們的運營結果、財務狀況或流動性產生重大不利影響。
omitting material facts relating to Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engine fleet, including the impact of the powder metal issue on the fleet, in various regulatory filings. The lawsuits were consolidated and remain pending. Second, multiple shareholder derivative lawsuits were filed against current and former officers and directors of the Company, all of which have now been consolidated into a single action which is pending in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The operative complaint in the consolidated action alleges that the defendants caused the Company to make materially false and misleading statements relating to Pratt & Whitney’s GTF engines, and failed to maintain an adequate system of oversight, disclosure controls and procedures, and internal controls over financial reporting. Based on the information available to date, we do not believe that either matter will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
On November 7, 2023, January 30, 2024, and May 21, 2024, the Company received subpoenas from the SEC seeking engineering, operational, organizational, accounting, and financial documents in connection with an investigation relating to the Company’s disclosures in 2023 of issues arising from Pratt & Whitney’s use of powder metal in manufacturing various engine parts, its identification of certain risks associated with those manufacturing processes, and corrective actions identified by Pratt & Whitney to mitigate those risks. The Company is cooperating with the SEC and is responding to the subpoenas. At this time, we are unable to predict the timing or outcome of this SEC investigation.
Where appropriate, we have recorded loss contingency accruals for the above-referenced matters. Unless noted above, loss contingency accruals are immaterial individually or in the aggregate.
Other. As described in “Note 15: Guarantees,” we extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs, and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also routinely defendants in, parties to, or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes, and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax, and other laws. In some instances, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages, or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
Note 17: Equity
Common Stock - Share Repurchases. On October 24, 2023, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreements with certain financial institution counterparties to repurchase shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $10 billion. The ASR agreements provided for the repurchase of our common stock based on the average of the daily volume-weighted average prices of our common stock during the term of such ASR agreement, less a discount and subject to adjustments pursuant to the terms and conditions of the ASR agreement. Pursuant to the ASR agreements, we made aggregate payments of $10 billion on October 26, 2023, and received initial deliveries of approximately 108.4 million shares of our common stock at a price of $78.38 per share, which, on that date, represented approximately 85% of the shares expected to be repurchased. The aggregate purchase price was recorded as a reduction to Shareowners’ equity, consisting of an $8.5 billion increase in Treasury stock and a $1.5 billion decrease in Common stock.
The shares associated with the remaining portion of the aggregate purchase price have been settled over two tranches. In July 2024, the first tranche was settled upon final delivery to us of approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock. In September 2024, with respect to the second tranche, we owed approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock that we elected to cash settle for $261 million. The cash payment required as a result of the second tranche settlement was due to the significant increase in the price of our common stock during the ASR term. The final average price under the ASR was $94.28 per share.

Note 18: Segment Financial Data
Our operations, for the periods presented herein, are classified into three principal segments: Collins, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. Our segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services.
We present a FAS/CAS operating adjustment outside of segment results, which represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and PRB expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment. While the ultimate liability for pension and PRB costs under FAS and CAS is similar, the pattern of cost recognition is different. Over time, we generally expect to recover the related Raytheon
pension and PRB liabilities through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. Collins and Pratt & Whitney generally record pension and PRB expense on a FAS basis.
Acquisition accounting adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant, and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable. These adjustments are not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment results.
Total sales and operating profit (loss) by segment include inter-segment sales which are generally recorded at cost-plus a specified fee or at a negotiated fixed price. These pricing arrangements may result in margins different than what the purchasing segment realizes on the ultimate third-party sale. Results for the quarters ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

See “Note 5: Changes in Contract Estimates at Completion” and “Note 2: Acquisitions and Dispositions,” respectively, for additional information.
(4) Includes a $0.9 billion charge in the second quarter of 2024 related to the Resolution of Certain Legal Matters. See “Note 1: Basis of Presentation” for additional information.
We disaggregate our contracts from customers by geographic region based on customer location, by type of customer, and by sales type. Our geographic region based on customer location uses end user customer location where known or practical to determine, or in instances where the end user customer is not known or not practical to determine, uses “ship to” location as the customer location. In addition, for our Raytheon segment, we disaggregate our contracts from customers by contract type. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.

Note 19: Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO)
RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. Total RPO was $221 billion as of September 30, 2024. Of the total RPO as of September 30, 2024, we expect approximately 25% will be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months. Approximately 45% of our RPO relates to long-term commercial aerospace maintenance contracts at Pratt & Whitney, which are generally expected to be realized over a span of up to 20 years.
Note 20: Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2024, the SEC issued the final rule under SEC Release Nos. 33-11275 and 34-99678, The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors, requiring public companies to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The final rules will require information about a company’s climate-related risks that have materially impacted or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition, and the actual and potential material impacts of any identified climate-related risks on the company’s strategy, business model, and outlook, as well as relating to assessment, management, oversight, and mitigation of such material risks, material climate-related targets and goals, and material greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, certain disclosures related to severe weather events and other natural conditions will be required in the audited financial statements. The first phase of the final rule is effective for fiscal years beginning in 2025. Disclosure for prior periods is only required if it was previously disclosed in an SEC filing. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed implementation of the final rule to facilitate the orderly judicial resolution of pending legal challenges to the rule. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement.
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance income tax reporting disclosures and require disclosure of specific categories in the tabular rate reconciliation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a prospective basis. Early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands the segment reporting disclosures and requires disclosure of segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, amounts and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosure of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Additionally, the amendments require the disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, on a retrospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact on our disclosures of adopting this new pronouncement.
Other new pronouncements issued but not effective until after September 30, 2024 are not expected to have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of RTX for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated October 22, 2024, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PwC has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PwC is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a “report” or a “part” of a registration statement prepared or certified by PwC within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareowners and Board of Directors of RTX Corporation
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of RTX Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2024, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), and of changes in equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity, and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 5, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a global premier systems provider of high technology products and services to the aerospace and defense industries.
Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “the Company,” and “RTX” mean RTX Corporation and its subsidiaries.
Raytheon follows a 4-4-5 fiscal calendar while Collins Aerospace (Collins) and Pratt & Whitney use a quarter calendar end. Throughout this Form 10-Q, when we refer to the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 with respect to Raytheon, we are referring to their September 29, 2024 and October 1, 2023 fiscal quarter ends, respectively.
The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2024 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the “Business Overview” section in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Industry Considerations
Our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic, and political factors on both a regional and global level. Our operations include original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and extensive related aftermarket parts and services related to our aerospace operations. Our defense business serves both domestic and international customers primarily as a prime contractor or subcontractor on a broad portfolio of defense and related programs for government customers. Our business mix also reflects the combination of shorter cycles in our commercial aerospace spares contracts and certain service contracts in our defense business, and longer cycles in our aerospace OEM and aftermarket maintenance contracts and on our defense contracts to design, develop, manufacture, or modify complex equipment. Our customers are in the public and private sectors, and our businesses reflect an extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with continued globalization.
Government legislation, policies, and regulations can impact our business and operations. Changes in environmental and climate change-related laws or regulations, including regulations on greenhouse gas emissions, carbon pricing, and energy taxes, could lead to new or additional investment in product designs and facility upgrades and could increase our operational and environmental compliance expenditures, including increased energy and raw materials costs and costs associated with manufacturing changes. In addition, government and industry-driven safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions, government imposed travel restrictions, and government procurement practices can impact our businesses.
Collins and Pratt & Whitney serve both commercial and government aerospace customers. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs), available seat miles, and the general economic health of airline carriers and airframers are key barometers for our commercial aerospace operations. In particular, the ongoing work stoppages at a major airframer customer, may adversely impact our business. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits. Many of our aerospace customers are covered under long-term aftermarket service agreements at both Collins and Pratt & Whitney, which are inclusive of both spare parts and services.
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. Refer to “U.S. Government’s Continuing Resolution” below for additional information.
Other Matters
Global, economic, and political conditions, changes in raw material and commodity prices and supply, labor availability and costs, inflation, interest rates, geopolitical conflicts and strained intercountry relations, U.S. and non-U.S. tax law changes, foreign currency exchange rates, energy costs and supply, levels of air travel, the financial condition of commercial airlines, and the impact from natural disasters and weather conditions create uncertainties that could impact our businesses.
Legal Matters.The Company has resolved several outstanding legal matters, herein referred to as “Resolution of Certain Legal Matters.” The Company entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Company settled an administrative proceeding with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations into 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 entered into a DPA 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 resolved 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 that were resolved pursuant to a consent agreement with the Department of State (DOS) (Trade Compliance Matters). As a result, we recorded a combined pre-tax charge of $918 million during the second quarter of 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. See “Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies” within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
Pratt & Whitney Powder Metal Matter.As described further in “Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies,” within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, in 2023, Pratt & Whitney determined that a rare condition in powder metal used to manufacture certain engine parts requires accelerated inspection of the PW1100G-JM (PW1100) Geared Turbofan (GTF) fleet, which powers the A320neo family of aircraft (A320neo) (herein referred to as the “Powder Metal Matter”).
Global Supply Chain. We are dependent on a global supply chain and in recent years have experienced supply chain disruptions that resulted in delays and increased costs which adversely affected our performance. These disruptions impacted our ability to procure raw materials, microelectronics, and certain commodities on a timely basis and/or at expected prices, and have been driven by supply chain market constraints and macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and labor market shortages. Current geopolitical conditions, including conflicts and other causes of strained intercountry relations, as well as sanctions and other trade restrictive activities, continue to contribute to these issues. Furthermore, our suppliers and subcontractors have been impacted by these same issues. As a result of the Canadian government’s imposition of sanctions in February 2024, including those imposed on U.S.- and German-based Russian-owned entities from which we source titanium for use in our Canadian operations, we recorded charges of $175 million in the first quarter of 2024 within our Collins segment. These charges are primarily related to the recognition of unfavorable purchase commitments and an impairment of contract fulfillment costs that are no longer recoverable as a result of initiating alternative titanium sources. We have implemented actions and programs to mitigate some of the impacts but anticipate supply chain disruptions to continue.
在2023年2月,中國宣佈對雷神導彈與防務(RMD)實施制裁(該業務是前RTX公司(RTX)的一部分,在2023年第三季度併入雷神),並此前宣佈可能會對RTX採取措施,涉及某些對臺灣的外國軍售。中國對RMD的制裁包括對自2020年9月以來RMD銷售給臺灣的武器價值的兩倍罰款。此外,在2022年9月,中國表示決定對我們的董事長和前首席執行官格雷戈裏·海斯進行制裁,涉及另一筆與RTX產品和服務相關的對臺灣的外國軍售。在2024年1月,中國對數據鏈解決方案公司(Data Link Solutions LLC),一個柯林斯合資企業,實施了制裁,而在2024年5月,中國最新宣佈對雷神導彈系統和雷神與洛克希德馬丁之間的標槍合資企業實施制裁。如果中國進一步施加額外製裁、執行已宣佈的制裁,或對RTX、我們的供應商、附屬公司或合作伙伴採取其他監管行動,可能會對我們的業務運營造成干擾。這些或中國可能採取的其他制裁或行動的影響尚不確定。
The decreases in net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net of $0.4 billion and $0.9 billion for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were primarily driven by the sale of our Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services (CIS) business within our Raytheon segment completed in the first quarter of 2024.

Research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules and, therefore, year-over-year fluctuations in spending levels are expected.
Company-funded research and development expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were relatively consistent with the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
The increase in customer-funded research and development expenses of $0.1 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increased spending at Pratt & Whitney on military
programs and higher expenses on defense and commercial programs at Collins, partially offset by lower expenses on development programs at Raytheon.
The increase in company-funded research and development expenses of $0.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by increased spending on commercial program development at Pratt & Whitney and Collins, partially offset by lower expenses on development programs at Raytheon.
The increase in customer-funded research and development expenses of $0.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher expenses on commercial and defense programs at Collins and increased spending at Pratt & Whitney on military programs, partially offset by lower expenses on various development programs at Raytheon.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 were relatively consistent with the quarter ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by the absence of a $0.1 billion charge at Pratt & Whitney related to a customer insolvency recorded in the second quarter of 2023.
We are continuously evaluating our cost structure and have implemented restructuring actions in an effort to keep our cost structure competitive. Therefore, the amounts reflected above include the beneficial impact of previous restructuring actions on Selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Other income (expense), net includes equity earnings in unconsolidated entities, royalty income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and other ongoing and non-recurring items.
The increase in Other income (expense), net of $0.1 billion for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $0.2 billion benefit from a tax related indemnity receivable recorded in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by a net unfavorable year-over-year impact of foreign exchange gains and losses. Refer to “Note 11: Income Taxes” within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on the indemnity receivable and the offsetting impacts to Income tax expense.
The decrease in Other income (expense), net of $0.5 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a $0.9 billion charge during the second quarter of 2024 related to the Resolution of Certain Legal Matters, the absence of a gain on the sale of land during the first quarter of 2023, and the reversal of certain tax related indemnity receivables associated with the conclusion of the examination phase of certain tax audits in the first quarter of 2024. The above items were partially offset by a $0.4 billion gain on the sale of Raytheon’s CIS business, net of transaction costs, in the first quarter of 2024 and a $0.2 billion benefit from a tax related indemnity receivable recorded in the third quarter of 2024. Refer to “Note 11: Income Taxes” within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on the indemnity receivable and the offsetting impacts to Income tax expense.
Our operations, for the periods presented herein, are classified into three principal segments: Collins, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. Segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operations, based on capabilities and technologies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. Segment Total net sales and Operating profit include intercompany sales and profit, which are ultimately eliminated within Eliminations and other, which also includes certain smaller non-reportable segments. Segment results exclude certain acquisition accounting adjustments, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment, and certain corporate expenses, as further discussed below.
Given the nature of our business, we believe that total net sales and operating profit (loss) (and the related operating profit (loss) margin percentage), which we disclose and discuss at the segment level, are most relevant to an understanding of management’s view of our segment performance, as described below.
We provide the organic change in Net sales and Operating profit (loss) for our segments as discussed above in “Results of Operations.” We believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors because they provide transparency to the underlying performance of our business, which allows for better year-over-year comparability. For Pratt & Whitney only, Other also includes the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at Pratt & Whitney Canada due to its significance to Pratt & Whitney’s overall operating results.

programs and on an advanced development program. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of $0.2 billion from air and space defense systems programs primarily due to the completion of certain programs.
The organic operating profit increase of $0.1 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was driven by a favorable change in mix and other performance of approximately $40 million primarily due to increased production on international Patriot programs, an improvement in net EAC adjustments of approximately $30 million, and higher volume of approximately $30 million primarily driven by the net sales increases noted above. The change in net EAC adjustments was spread across numerous programs and included an unfavorable EAC adjustment of $53 million in the third quarter of 2024 related to cost increases on a classified program.
The decrease in net sales and operating profit due to acquisitions / divestitures, net in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 primarily relates to the sale of the CIS business completed in the first quarter of 2024.

The organic net sales increase of $1.0 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher net sales of $1.0 billion from land and air defense systems programs driven by higher net sales on certain international Patriot programs, C-UAS programs, certain international NASAMS programs, and the Stinger program. Also contributing to the increases were higher net sales of $0.4 billion from advanced technology programs primarily driven by higher volume on classified programs and on an advanced development program. These increases were partially offset by lower net sales of $0.4 billion from air and space defense systems programs primarily due to the completion of certain programs, and the timing of a prior year program award.
The organic operating profit increase of $0.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was due to an improvement in net EAC adjustments of approximately $110 million and higher volume of approximately $100 million primarily driven by the net sales increases noted above. The change in net EAC adjustments was spread across numerous programs and benefited from the absence of a $51 million unfavorable adjustment in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to significant contract options exercised, which was offset by a $53 million unfavorable EAC adjustment in the third quarter of 2024 related to cost increases on a classified program.
The decrease in net sales and operating profit due to acquisitions / divestitures, net in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily relates to the sale of the CIS business completed in the first quarter of 2024.
The Other net sales and operating profit decreases of $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to an impact to net sales and operating profit of $0.1 billion and $0.6 billion, respectively, related to the anticipated Raytheon Contract Termination initiated in the second quarter of 2024, with the operating profit decrease partially offset by a $0.4 billion gain on the sale of the CIS business, net of transaction and other related costs, in the first quarter of 2024.
and $1.2 billion on a number of classified contracts. In addition to these bookings, in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Raytheon booked $1.2 billion to provide Patriot Air Defense systems to Germany, $818 million to provide GEM-T for NSPA, $639 million to produce AN/SPY-6(V) radars for the U.S. Navy, $623 million to provide GEM-T for an international customer, $393 million to design and build the Landsat Next Instrument Suite (LandIS) for NASA, $282 million to provide NASAMS for Ukraine, $251 million to provide GEM-T for an international customer and $2.6 billion on a number of classified contracts.

The increase in eliminations and other net sales of $48 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in intersegment eliminations, principally driven by Collins.
The change in eliminations and other operating profit of $55 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the absence of the impact of an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) notice issued in September 2023 related to the research and experimental expenditures capitalization.
The change in Corporate expenses and other unallocated items of $0.2 billion in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a $0.2 billion benefit from a tax related indemnity receivable recorded in the third quarter of 2024. Refer to “Note 11: Income Taxes” within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information on the indemnity receivable and the offsetting impacts to Income tax expense.

The increase in eliminations and other net sales of $0.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in intersegment eliminations, principally driven by Collins.
We present a FAS/CAS operating adjustment outside of segment results, which represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and PRB expense under the FAS requirements of U.S. GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government CAS, primarily related to our Raytheon segment. While the ultimate liability for pension and PRB costs under FAS and CAS is similar, the pattern of cost recognition is different. Over time, we generally expect to recover the related Raytheon pension and PRB liabilities through the pricing of our products and services to the U.S. government. Collins and Pratt & Whitney generally record pension and PRB expense on a FAS basis.
The components of the FAS/CAS operating adjustment were as follows:

The changes in our FAS/CAS operating adjustment of $0.1 billion and $0.2 billion in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, were driven by a decrease in CAS expense, primarily due to the recognition of historical CAS gain/loss experience.
Acquisition accounting adjustments
Acquisition accounting adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant, and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing, and financing activities and the timing of such activities. Our principal source of liquidity is cash flows from operating activities. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in and divestitures of businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, access to
the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, redemptions of debt, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.
At September 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6.7 billion, of which approximately 30% was held by RTX’s foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The Company intends to repatriate certain undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries that have been previously taxed in the U.S. Taxes associated with the future remittance of these earnings have been recorded. For the remainder of the Company’s undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, RTX will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings.
Our ability to access global debt markets and the related cost of these borrowings depends on the strength of our credit rating and market conditions. Our S&P Global credit rating remains at BBB+/negative, and our Moody’s Investors Service outlook is Baa1/negative. Though the Company expects to continue having adequate access to funds, declines in our credit ratings or Company outlook could result in higher borrowing costs.
As of September 30, 2024, we had a revolving credit agreement with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $5.0 billion, which expires in August 2028. As of September 30, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under this agreement.
From time to time, we use commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments, and repurchases of our common stock. The commercial paper notes have original maturities of not more than 364 days from the date of issuance. As of September 30, 2024, our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was $5.0 billion as the commercial paper is backed by our $5.0 billion revolving credit agreement. At September 30, 2024, we had no commercial paper borrowings outstanding.
Our investing activities primarily include capital expenditures, cash investments in customer financing assets, investments in and dispositions of businesses, payments related to our collaboration intangible assets and contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, and settlements of derivative contracts not designated as hedging instruments.
The $1.3 billion change in cash flows used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily related to the sale of our CIS business within our Raytheon segment for proceeds of approximately $1.3 billion in cash.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we increased other intangible assets by $0.4 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively, primarily related to collaboration payment commitments made under our 2012 agreement to acquire Rolls-Royce’s collaboration interests in International Aero Engines AG (IAE) and exclusivity payments made on contractual commitments included within intangible assets.

The $2.8 billion change in cash flows used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily driven by prior year long-term debt issuances of $3.0 billion, an increase in long-term debt repayments of $1.5 billion, and lower issuances of commercial paper, net, of $0.5 billion, partially offset by lower year-over-year share repurchases of $2.2 billion.
