- Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
- The net operating profit after taxes displayed a positive trend over the analyzed period. Starting from 2,171 million USD in 2015, it increased to 3,427 million USD by 2019. Despite a slight decline in 2017 compared to 2016, overall NOPAT showed solid growth, indicating improved operational performance and profitability.
- Cost of Capital
- The cost of capital remained relatively stable throughout the years, ranging between 11.7% and 12.39%. Although there was a marginal upward trend from 11.7% in 2015 to 12.39% in 2019, the fluctuations were minimal, suggesting consistent expectations of return by investors or cost structure in capital financing.
- Invested Capital
- The invested capital showed a general increase over the period under review. It rose from 22,413 million USD in 2015 to 26,688 million USD in 2019. This gradual increase indicates ongoing investments and expansion of capital base, albeit with a relatively moderate pace of increment between years.
- Economic Profit
- The economic profit figures reveal an improving trend with initial negative values transitioning to positive by the end of the period. From a loss of 452 million USD in 2015, the economic profit gradually improved, reaching a positive 120 million USD in 2019. This indicates that the company moved from destroying value to creating value as profits surpassed the cost of capital by the final year.
- Summary
- The analyzed financial data indicates an overall positive trajectory in profitability, with increasing net operating profits and invested capital. The stability in the cost of capital suggests no significant changes in financing conditions. Importantly, the shift from negative to positive economic profit by 2019 reflects improved efficiency in capital utilization and value creation. The slight fluctuations in NOPAT and economic profit during the period imply some volatility, but the general direction is favorable.

- Net income attributable to Raytheon Company
- The net income shows a generally positive trend over the five-year period. Starting at 2,074 million US dollars in 2015, there was a modest increase in 2016 to 2,211 million. However, the net income slightly declined in 2017 to 2,024 million. From 2017 onwards, the net income rose significantly, reaching 2,909 million in 2018 and further increasing to 3,343 million by the end of 2019. This pattern indicates recovery and robust growth in profitability in the latter years.
- Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT)
- NOPAT also demonstrates an upward trajectory across the reported years. The value grew steadily from 2,171 million US dollars in 2015 to 2,456 million in 2016. A slight decline occurred in 2017, with NOPAT at 2,393 million, mirroring the dip seen in net income for that year. In 2018, NOPAT increased sharply to 3,010 million and continued its upward movement to 3,427 million in 2019. This trend underscores improving operational efficiency and effective tax management contributing to profit growth over the period.
- Overall Trend Analysis
- The data reveals a consistent improvement in both net income and NOPAT from 2015 to 2019, notwithstanding the minor setbacks in 2017. The stronger gains after 2017 suggest enhanced operational performance and possibly favorable market or internal conditions. The parallel movement between net income and NOPAT implies that the operating profits, after accounting for taxes, significantly drive the net profitability of the company.

The financial data indicates a fluctuating pattern in the provisions for federal and foreign income taxes over the five-year period. Starting at 733 million US dollars in 2015, the provision increased steadily to reach a peak of 1,114 million in 2017. However, in 2018, the provision experienced a significant decline to 264 million, followed by a recovery to 658 million in 2019. This trend suggests variability in the company's taxable income or changes in tax rates or policies during these years.
Regarding cash operating taxes, the figures show a less consistent trend. The amount decreased slightly from 881 million in 2015 to 840 million in 2016, then rose to 939 million in 2017. Similar to the provision for income taxes, cash operating taxes dropped considerably in 2018 to 327 million before increasing again to 721 million in 2019. The parallel movements in both provision and cash taxes in 2018 and 2019 indicate an underlying correlation in tax strategies or tax liabilities paid.
- Provision for Federal and Foreign Income Taxes
- General upward trend from 2015 to 2017, followed by a sharp decline in 2018 and partial rebound in 2019
- Reflects volatility possibly due to changes in earnings before tax, tax regulations, or deferred tax assets/liabilities adjustments
- Cash Operating Taxes
- Slight fluctuations with a significant drop in 2018 and a recovery in 2019
- Movements suggest impact from operational cash flows and timing differences in tax payments
- Comparison and Insights
- Both tax-related figures exhibit synchronized declines in 2018, indicating potential operational or fiscal events affecting tax computations or payments during that year
- The rebound in 2019 points to normalization or adjustments after an anomalous fiscal period

- Economic Profit
- The economic profit demonstrated a fluctuating yet overall improving trend from 2015 to 2019. Initially, economic profit was negative, with a substantial loss of 452 million USD in 2015. This loss decreased in 2016 to 339 million USD, indicating a reduction in economic losses. However, in 2017, there was a reversal with an increased loss of 496 million USD. A significant improvement was observed in 2018 when the loss narrowed considerably to 172 million USD. Finally, in 2019, economic profit turned positive, reaching 120 million USD, signaling a turnaround in profitability.
- Invested Capital
- Invested capital showed a steady increase throughout the five-year period. Starting at 22,413 million USD in 2015, it rose each year, reaching 26,688 million USD by the end of 2019. This represents a cumulative growth of approximately 19%, indicating ongoing investment and expansion of the capital base.
- Economic Spread Ratio
- The economic spread ratio, which reflects the difference between return on invested capital and cost of capital, exhibited negative values from 2015 through 2018, indicating that the company was not generating returns above its cost of capital during this period. The ratio improved from -2.02% in 2015 to -1.44% in 2016, declined to -2.11% in 2017, and then improved significantly to -0.66% in 2018.

- Net Sales
- Net sales demonstrated a consistent upward trend over the five-year period. Starting at approximately $23.2 billion in 2015, net sales increased steadily each year, reaching nearly $29.2 billion by the end of 2019. This represents a growth of about 25.5% over the period, indicating expanding business operations and solid revenue generation.
- Economic Profit
- The economic profit exhibited significant fluctuations, beginning with a negative value of around -$452 million in 2015. The loss slightly improved in 2016 to approximately -$339 million but deteriorated again in 2017 to about -$496 million. A notable turnaround occurred in 2018 with a much-reduced loss of about -$172 million, followed by a positive economic profit of $120 million in 2019. This progression suggests an improving ability to generate value above the cost of capital, culminating in positive economic profit in the final year observed.
- Economic Profit Margin
- The economic profit margin, expressed as a percentage, reflected a similar pattern to economic profit overall. Starting at -1.94% in 2015, it improved slightly to -1.41% in 2016 but worsened again to -1.96% in 2017. From there, it improved significantly to -0.64% in 2018 and transitioned to a positive margin of 0.41% in 2019. This improvement in the profit margin indicates increasing efficiency in translating sales into economic profit and a stronger overall financial performance towards the end of the period.
- Summary of Trends
- The data reveals a company experiencing consistent growth in net sales alongside fluctuations in economic profit and margin, moving from substantial economic losses toward profitability. The rebound in both economic profit and economic profit margin in 2018 and 2019 suggests successful strategic or operational changes that enhanced value creation. Despite earlier years of economic losses, the positive economic profit in 2019 signals improved financial health and potential for sustainable long-term profitability.
