1 2022 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Operating income ÷ Sales
= 100 × ÷ =
The segment exhibited fluctuating sales figures over the five-year period. Sales increased steadily from 10,293 million US dollars in 2018 to a peak of 12,169 million US dollars in 2020, followed by a decline over the next two years to 10,531 million US dollars in 2022. This indicates a growth phase until 2020, after which sales contracted notably.
Operating income showed a relatively stable pattern with slight variations. It rose from 1,128 million US dollars in 2018 to a maximum of 1,206 million US dollars in 2020. Subsequently, operating income decreased to 1,093 million US dollars in 2021 but saw a modest recovery to 1,116 million US dollars in 2022. This trend suggests some resilience in profitability despite the decline in sales during the later years.
The segment profit margin declined from 10.96% in 2018 to its lowest point of 9.71% in 2021, indicating a decrease in profitability relative to sales. However, the profit margin rebounded to 10.6% in 2022, approaching the levels observed at the beginning of the analyzed period. This recovery in margin demonstrates improved operational efficiency or cost management following the downturn.
Overall, the data reveals a period of growth until 2020 followed by a weakening in sales and operating income, coupled with a declining profit margin which partially recovered by 2022. The segment's ability to regain margin despite lower sales in the final year highlights an adaptive response to market or operational challenges during the period.

= 100 × ÷ =
The data presents financial information regarding the Defense Systems segment over a five-year period from 2018 to 2022. Several notable trends and patterns emerge from the analysis of operating income, sales, and segment profit margin.
- Sales
- Sales showed an upward trajectory from 2018 to 2020, increasing from 6,612 million USD in 2018 to a peak of 7,543 million USD in 2020. However, this was followed by a significant decline in the subsequent years, with sales dropping to 5,776 million USD in 2021 and slightly further to 5,579 million USD in 2022. The data suggests a notable contraction in sales after 2020, reaching levels closer to those observed in 2018.
- Operating Income
- Operating income increased steadily from 697 million USD in 2018 to a peak of 846 million USD in 2020, mirroring the upward sales trend through that year. Post-2020, operating income declined sharply, falling to 696 million USD in 2021 and continuing down to 664 million USD in 2022. This decline aligns with the reduction in sales observed during the same periods.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin demonstrated consistent improvement over the first four years, increasing from 10.54% in 2018 to a high of 12.05% in 2021. In 2022, the margin slightly decreased to 11.9%, though it remained higher than the 2018-2020 levels. This pattern indicates effective cost management or efficiency gains, especially notable given the concurrent decline in both sales and operating income after 2020.
In summary, the segment experienced growth in both sales and operating income through 2020, followed by a downturn in 2021 and 2022. Despite lower sales and operating profit in the last two years, the segment profit margin improved overall, reaching peak levels before a marginal decline in 2022. This suggests the segment was able to maintain relatively strong profitability levels despite reduced revenue and income figures.

- Operating Income
- Operating income demonstrated a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Starting at $1,245 million in 2018, it increased each year, reaching $1,618 million by 2022. The most notable year-on-year growth occurred between 2019 and 2021, where the increase was more pronounced compared to other intervals.
- Sales
- Sales figures showed steady growth from 2018 to 2022. Beginning at $8,949 million in 2018, sales rose consistently each year to attain $10,396 million in 2022. The most substantial increase was recorded between 2019 and 2020, with a slower but still positive growth rate afterward.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin exhibited slight fluctuations around a generally positive trend. Starting at 13.91% in 2018, the margin improved in 2019 to 14.96%, then experienced a minor decline in 2020 to 14.47%. Afterward, it increased again to 15.58% in 2021 and remained relatively stable at 15.56% in 2022, indicating consistent profitability improvements while maintaining margin stability at the higher level.
- Overall Analysis
- The Mission Systems segment illustrated steady growth in both operating income and sales over the analyzed period, with operating income growing at a slightly faster pace relative to sales.

1 2022 Calculation
Segment profit margin = 100 × Operating income ÷ Sales
= 100 × ÷ =
- Sales
- The sales figures demonstrate a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Beginning at $5,845 million in 2018, sales increased each year, reaching $12,275 million by 2022. This represents more than a twofold increase, indicating strong growth in revenue generation within the segment.
- Operating Income
- Operating income also shows a positive trend, rising from $644 million in 2018 to $1,158 million in 2022. The growth, although steady, is not proportional to sales growth, with operating income roughly doubling over the period compared to sales more than doubling. This suggests some variability in operational efficiency or cost structure.
- Segment Profit Margin
- The segment profit margin exhibits fluctuations within a generally narrow range, starting at 11.02% in 2018 and declining to 9.43% in 2022. Despite the increase in operating income and sales, the profit margin decreased overall, implying that while revenues grew, costs and expenses increased at a relatively higher rate, affecting profitability ratios negatively by the end of the period.

1 2022 Calculation
Segment ROA = 100 × Operating income ÷ Assets
= 100 × ÷ =
The operating income for the Aeronautics Systems segment exhibited fluctuations over the evaluated periods. Beginning at $1,128 million in 2018, it increased steadily to $1,188 million in 2019 and further to $1,206 million in 2020.

Despite the recovery, the 2022 figure remained below the peak level observed in 2020.
Total assets showed a generally upward trend from 2019 onwards. The segment's assets were $9,104 million in 2019, slightly decreasing to $8,997 million in 2020, before increasing to $9,423 million in 2021 and further rising to $9,701 million in 2022. This represents a growth in asset base from 2019 to 2022, indicating possible investment or asset accumulation within the segment.
The segment return on assets (ROA) data, available from 2019, reveals an initial increase from 13.05% in 2019 to 13.4% in 2020. Subsequently, ROA declined to 11.6% in 2021 and remained relatively stable, showing a marginal decrease to 11.5% in 2022. This indicates diminishing efficiency in generating operating income from the asset base over the most recent two years measured.
- Operating Income Trends
- Increased from 2018 through 2020, peaked in 2020, then declined in 2021 with a small rebound in 2022 but did not recover to 2020 levels.
- Assets Trends
- Generally rising from 2019 to 2022 with a slight dip in 2020, suggesting incremental asset growth and investment.
- Segment Return on Assets (ROA)
- Peaked in 2020 and declined thereafter, indicating reduced profitability or efficiency relative to asset usage in the last two years.
Overall, the data suggests that while the segment increased its asset base, its operating income growth has slowed down, and the profitability relative to assets has weakened since 2020. This points to potential challenges in converting increased assets into proportional operating income gains in recent years.

The annual data for the Defense Systems segment reveals distinct trends in sales, assets, and asset turnover over the five-year period ending in 2022.
- Sales
- Sales increased steadily from 6,612 million USD in 2018 to a peak of 7,543 million USD in 2020, representing a cumulative growth of approximately 14%. However, following 2020, sales declined significantly, dropping to 5,776 million USD in 2021 and further to 5,579 million USD in 2022. This sharp decrease indicates potential challenges or shifts in market demand or contract awards affecting segment revenue in the latter years.
- Assets
- Available asset data begins in 2019 with a value of 7,420 million USD. Thereafter, assets showed a consistent downward trend, falling to 7,352 million USD in 2020 and then more pronouncedly to 5,911 million USD in 2021. A slight recovery is observed in 2022, with assets increasing marginally to 6,163 million USD. The overall decline followed by stabilization suggests possible asset divestitures, revaluations, or adjustments to the asset base in response to changes in the segment's operations.
- Segment Asset Turnover
- This efficiency ratio, which measures how effectively assets generate sales, was just above 1.0 in 2019 and 2020 (1.01 and 1.03 respectively), indicating relatively stable asset utilization during this period. However, asset turnover declined to 0.98 in 2021 and further to 0.91 in 2022, pointing to a reduced efficiency in using assets to generate sales. This downward trend correlates with the decline in sales and fluctuating asset levels, reflecting diminishing returns on the asset base in recent years.
Overall, the segment experienced growth in sales and maintained asset efficiency through 2020, followed by a period of declining sales and asset turnover. The reduction in assets alongside lower asset turnover in 2021 and 2022 suggests operational or market factors that adversely impacted the segment's financial performance and asset productivity during the most recent years reported.

The segment's capital expenditures exhibit a downward trend over the observed period. Beginning at US$657 million in 2018, capital expenditures steadily decreased each year, reaching a low of US$465 million in 2021 before a slight increase to US$490 million in 2022. This pattern suggests a reduction in investment in long-term assets with a minor rebound in the final year.
Depreciation and amortization values display a different trend. Starting at US$190 million in 2018, these expenses rose to US$224 million in 2019 and further to US$238 million in 2020. A decline to US$216 million occurred in 2021, followed by a significant increase to US$322 million in 2022. The noticeable surge in 2022 indicates either accelerated asset aging or changes in amortization policies or asset base.
The ratio of segment capital expenditures to depreciation highlights the relationship between investment in assets and their consumption or usage. This ratio decreased consistently from 3.46 in 2018 to 1.52 in 2022, indicating that capital expenditures are becoming less relative to the depreciation expense. A decreasing ratio may imply a reduction in the addition of new assets relative to the consumption of existing ones, possibly signaling a shift in investment strategy or asset lifecycle management within the segment.

1 2022 Calculation
Segment capital expenditures to depreciation = Capital expenditures ÷ Depreciation and amortization
= ÷ =
- Capital Expenditures
- The capital expenditures for the segment show a general upward trend from 2018 to 2021, increasing from $66 million to $133 million. However, in 2022, there is a decline to $110 million, indicating a reduction in investment compared to the previous year but still higher than the levels observed prior to 2021.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization expenses exhibit variability over the period. Starting at $65 million in 2018, they drop significantly to $44 million in 2019, then maintain relatively stable levels around $45-$48 million through 2020 and 2021. There is a notable increase in 2022, where the expense more than doubles to $101 million.
- Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio
- This ratio illustrates the relationship between capital investments and depreciation expenses. It rises sharply from 1.02 in 2018 to a peak of 2.96 in 2021, suggesting that capital expenditures were nearly three times the depreciation expense that year, indicative of an aggressive investment phase. In 2022, the ratio declines substantially to 1.09, reflecting a rebalancing brought about by the considerable increase in depreciation and the reduction in capital expenditures.
- Overall Analysis
- The data indicates an investment buildup in capital assets peaking in 2021, followed by a period in 2022 characterized by reduced capital spending and significantly increased depreciation and amortization. This pattern may suggest that assets acquired in prior years began to depreciate more rapidly, or that there was an asset write-down or impairment during 2022. The sharp rise in the depreciation expense and adjustment of the capital expenditure to depreciation ratio in 2022 imply a shift in the asset lifecycle and capital intensity of the segment.

- Capital Expenditures
- Capital expenditures exhibited an overall upward trend from 2018 to 2020, increasing from US$197 million to US$302 million. However, this was followed by a decline in 2021 to US$236 million, with a slight recovery to US$248 million in 2022. Despite the fluctuations, capital expenditures remained higher in the latter years compared to the initial value in 2018.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization showed a consistent and significant increase throughout the period under review. Starting at US$121 million in 2018, the figure rose steadily each year, reaching US$242 million by 2022. This represents a doubling over five years, indicating rising non-cash expenses related to asset usage and amortization.
- Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio
- The ratio of capital expenditures to depreciation initially trended upward from 1.63 in 2018 to a peak of 2.01 in 2020, suggesting that capital investment was growing faster than the depreciation expense early in the period. Following 2020, the ratio declined sharply, reaching 1.39 in 2021 and further decreasing to 1.02 in 2022. This indicates that capital expenditures growth slowed considerably relative to depreciation, approaching parity by 2022, which could imply a more balanced or conservative investment approach relative to asset depreciation.

Segment capital expenditures to depreciation = Capital expenditures ÷ Depreciation and amortization
= ÷ =
The "Space Systems" segment exhibits notable patterns in its capital expenditures and depreciation metrics over the five-year period from 2018 to 2022.
- Capital Expenditures
- Capital expenditures increased steadily from 226 million US dollars in 2018 to a peak of 530 million in 2021, representing more than a twofold increase over the period's start. It remained nearly constant from 2021 to 2022, with a slight decrease of one million US dollars.
- Depreciation and Amortization
- Depreciation and amortization values rose consistently each year, starting at 130 million US dollars in 2018 and reaching a substantial 396 million US dollars by 2022. This represents a more than threefold rise over the five-year span, indicating increased asset base utilization or acquisition of higher-value assets.
- Segment Capital Expenditures to Depreciation Ratio
- This ratio increased from 1.74 in 2018 to a maximum of 2.15 in 2021, reflecting that capital expenditures were growing faster than depreciation costs during this time. However, a notable decline to 1.34 occurred in 2022, suggesting a significant rise in depreciation relative to capital expenditures. This may indicate that the capital assets acquired in previous years are now being depreciated at a higher intensity or that capital spending slowed down considerably relative to the asset base.
Overall, the data indicates an expansion phase in the segment up to 2021, as evidenced by rising capital expenditures and controlled growth in depreciation. The sharp increase in depreciation in 2022 alongside stable capital expenditures could imply aging assets or a shift in investment strategy towards maintaining existing assets rather than expanding capacity.
