The financial performance over the five-year period reveals several notable trends in profitability, capital efficiency, and value creation.

Net Operating Profit After Taxes (NOPAT)
The net operating profit after taxes demonstrated an overall upward trajectory, increasing from 2,171 million US dollars in 2015 to 3,427 million US dollars in 2019. There was a slight decline observed in 2017 compared to 2016; however, the subsequent years showed robust growth, with the most significant increase occurring between 2017 and 2018.
Cost of Capital
The cost of capital showed a modest yet consistent increase across the years, starting at 11.76% in 2015 and rising to 12.45% in 2019. This gradual increase indicates a slightly higher required return on invested capital over time, which may reflect changes in market conditions or company-specific risk factors.
Invested Capital
Invested capital also rose steadily from 22,413 million US dollars in 2015 to 26,688 million US dollars in 2019. The growth was relatively gradual year-over-year, with a noticeable uptick between 2017 and 2018, indicating increased deployment of capital resources for operations or expansion.
Economic Profit
Economic profit, which accounts for the cost of capital, showed a notable shift across the period. Initially, economic profit was negative, with a peak deficit of 510 million US dollars in 2017. However, a gradual improvement can be seen after 2017, turning positive for the first time in 2019 with a value of 103 million US dollars. This transition from negative economic profit to positive reflects enhanced value creation for shareholders and better capital utilization in the latter years.

In summary, while net operating profit and invested capital both increased over the period, the cost of capital also rose slightly but at a slower pace. The company managed to improve its economic profit significantly, moving from deficits to a positive return on invested capital by 2019, indicative of improved operational efficiency and effective capital management.

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

Total reported debt & leases

The total reported debt and leases demonstrate a gradual declining trend over the analyzed period. Starting from 6,306 million US dollars in 2015, the figure increased slightly in 2016 to 6,421 million but began to decrease thereafter. By 2019, the total reported debt and leases had reduced to 5,679 million, reflecting a consistent effort to manage and reduce debt levels over time.

Total Raytheon Company stockholders’ equity

The stockholders’ equity shows a generally positive upward trend from 2015 to 2019. It started at 10,128 million US dollars in 2015 and experienced a minor decline through 2017, reaching 9,963 million. However, a significant recovery occurred in 2018 and 2019, with equity increasing to 11,472 million and then to 12,223 million respectively. This growth suggests an improvement in the company’s net asset base and potential retention of earnings or capital injection during these latter years.

Invested capital

Invested capital shows a steady increase over the period examined. Beginning at 22,413 million US dollars in 2015, it rose each year, attaining 23,509 million in 2016 and edging slightly upward to 23,548 million in 2017. Subsequently, there was a more pronounced increase in 2018 to 26,081 million, continuing to grow in 2019 to 26,688 million. This upward trend indicates ongoing capital investment or asset expansion, potentially supporting future growth initiatives.

The financial data reveals several key trends regarding the company's economic profit, invested capital, and economic spread ratio over the five-year period ending in 2019.

Economic Profit
The economic profit experienced a notable improvement throughout the period. Initially, there was a substantial negative economic profit of -465 million US dollars in 2015, which slightly improved to -352 million in 2016. Despite a setback in 2017 with a decline to -510 million, the trend reversed significantly in the following years. By 2018, the negative economic profit had narrowed markedly to -187 million, culminating in a positive economic profit of 103 million US dollars in 2019. This shift from negative to positive economic profit indicates an enhanced ability of the company to generate returns above its cost of capital.
Invested Capital
Invested capital showed a consistent upward trajectory over the period, starting at 22,413 million US dollars in 2015 and increasing steadily each year to reach 26,688 million US dollars in 2019. This growth represents an approximate 19% increase in invested capital over five years. The gradual accumulation of capital suggests ongoing investments and expansion efforts within the company’s operations and asset base.
Economic Spread Ratio
The economic spread ratio mirrored the pattern observed in economic profit. It began with a negative spread of -2.07% in 2015, improving slightly to -1.5% in 2016, followed by a deterioration to -2.17% in 2017. Subsequently, there was consistent improvement in 2018 and 2019, with the ratio moving closer to zero at -0.72% and finally turning positive to 0.39%. This indicates that the company's returns relative to the cost of capital have strengthened, culminating in a positive spread by 2019, which corroborates the move to positive economic profit.

The annual financial data reveals several key trends with respect to economic profit, net sales, and economic profit margin over the five-year period ending December 31, 2019.

Net Sales
Net sales demonstrated a consistent upward trajectory throughout the period. Starting at approximately 23.2 billion US dollars in 2015, net sales increased each year, reaching nearly 29.2 billion US dollars by the end of 2019. This steady growth indicates a positive expansion in the company's revenue-generating capacity.
Economic Profit
The economic profit values remained negative from 2015 to 2018, though with some fluctuations. Starting at a deficit of 465 million US dollars in 2015, the loss narrowed to 352 million in 2016 but then deepened again to 510 million in 2017. A significant improvement occurred in 2018 with a reduced loss of 187 million US dollars, culminating in a positive economic profit of 103 million US dollars in 2019. This trend suggests an improving efficiency or profitability past the breakeven point in the final year under review.
Economic Profit Margin
The economic profit margin followed a pattern consistent with economic profit figures. Initially negative at -2% in 2015, the margin improved to -1.46% in 2016 but worsened to -2.01% in 2017. Thereafter, the margin showed progressive improvement, reaching -0.69% in 2018 and turning positive at 0.35% in 2019. This shift from a negative to a positive profit margin reflects enhancement in operational performance or cost management relative to sales.

Overall, the data indicates that while the company faced economic profit challenges earlier in the period, it was able to achieve steady revenue growth and incremental improvements in profitability measures, culminating in a return to economic profit positivity by the end of 2019.
