Notes to Financial Statements
1.
Description of Plan
The following description of the Sandia Corporation Savings and Income Plan (now called the NTESS Savings and Income Plan) (the
Plan) provides only general information about the Plans provisions. Participants should refer to the Plan document and Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plans provisions.
General
At 12:01 a.m., Mountain Daylight Time, on May 1,
2017, Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed Martin) transferred ownership of Sandia Corporation (Sandia), then a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin, to National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC
(Old NTESS), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc. (Honeywell). At 12:02 a.m., Mountain Daylight Time, on May 1, 2017 Old NTESS merged with and into Sandia (the Merger), with Sandia being the
surviving corporation in the Merger. In connection with the Merger, Sandia converted from a Delaware corporation into a Delaware limited liability company and changed its name to National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia, LLC.
(New NTESS or the Corporation and the Conversion). By virtue of the Merger and the Conversion, New NTESS became the plan sponsor (the Plan Sponsor) of the Sandia Corporation Savings and Income
Plan which was renamed the NTESS Savings and Income Plan. The Plan is a defined contribution plan subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) which covers the majority of employees of
NTESS who have attained age 21. Fidelity Management Trust Company (FMTC) serves as the trustee of the Plan, and Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company, Inc. (FIIOC) serves as the record-keeper of the Plan. The
Employee Benefits Committee of New NTESS is the Plan Administrator. On May 1, 2017, in conjunction with the Merger and Conversion, the Plan Administrator filed a Form 15 which disclosed that, effective April 30, 2017, the Plan no longer offers
Lockheed Martin common stock, par value $1.00 per share, as an investment option under the Plan; that, therefore, interests in the Plan no longer require registration; and that, accordingly, the Form 15 was being filed solely to suspend the
Plans duty to file reports under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including on Form 11-K. Consequently, this Form 11-K, reflecting the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, will be the last filed.
Contributions
Annually, participants may contribute from
2% to 75% of their eligible earnings, as defined in the Plan document, in 1% increments, on a pre-tax, Roth and after-tax basis. The total allotment of pre-tax, Roth and after-tax contributions cannot exceed the maximum amount permitted under the
Internal Revenue Code.
In addition, each payroll period the Corporation contributes 66
2
/
3
% of the sum of each participants pretax, Roth and after-tax contribution up to 6% of eligible earnings. The Plan allows participants aged 50 or older to make catch-up contributions as
permitted by the provisions of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001.
Nonunion employees hired on or after January 1, 2009
are eligible for Enhanced (non-elective) Contributions, which are contributions made by the Corporation in the amount of 6% of eligible earnings per pay period until 15 years of service and then 7% is contributed thereafter. Office and
Professional Employees International Union members hired on or after July 1, 2009, and Metal Trades Council members and Security Police Association members hired on or after July 1, 2010 are also eligible for Enhanced Contributions.
Participant Accounts
Each participants account is
credited with the participants and the employers contributions and the respective investment earnings or losses, less expenses, of the individual funds in which the account is invested.
Transfers
Transfers to the Plan of $428,000 relate to
employee transfers from Lockheed Martin entities to Sandia Corporation. These employees elected to transfer their accounts from Lockheed Martin defined contribution plans.
Benefit Payments
The Plan provides for the payment of
benefits upon termination, death, or retirement based on the balance in the participants vested account. Lump-sum or periodic payment elections may be made. Hardship and in-service withdrawals are also permitted, if certain conditions are met.
Vesting
All participants are immediately vested in
their contributions, the Corporation match and actual earnings thereon. Enhanced Contributions are 100% vested after the completion of 3 years of vesting service.
Forfeited Accounts
At December 31, 2016 and 2015,
forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $60,000 and $50,000, respectively. These accounts will be used to reduce future employer contributions, Enhanced Contributions, and/or pay administrative expenses of the Plan. In 2016, employer contributions were
reduced by $280,000 from forfeited nonvested accounts.
4
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow from their accounts a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum of the lesser of $50,000 less the highest loan balance in the past 12 months or
50% of their vested account balance. Loan terms range from 12 months to 56 months. The loans are secured by the balance in the participants account and bear interest at the prime rate at the date of the loan. Principal and interest are paid
ratably through payroll deductions. A maximum of two loans are permitted at one time. Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest.
Plan Termination
While it has not expressed any intent
to do so, the Corporation may terminate the Plan at any time upon submission of written notice to the investment custodian, subject to the provisions of ERISA and any applicable collective bargaining agreements. In the event of the Plans
termination, participants will receive a payment equal to the total vested and unvested value of their accounts.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basis of Accounting
The financial
statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Risks and
Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market, and
credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect
participants account balances and the amounts reported in the Statements of Net Assets Available for Benefits.
Investment Valuation and Income
Recognition
Investments are reported at fair value, with the exception of fully benefit-responsive investment contracts, which are reported at
contract value. Fair value is the price that would have been received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Contract value is the relevant measurement
attributable to fully benefit-responsive contracts because it is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. The contract value represents contributions, plus earnings, less
participant withdrawals and administrative expenses. See Note 3 for discussion of fair value measurements and fully-benefit responsive contracts.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes gains and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded on the accrual basis.
Administrative Expenses
The Corporation pays
substantially all administrative expenses of the Plan, except for investment-related expenses, which are paid by the Plan. Expenses paid by the Plan are shown on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits, and expenses paid by the
Corporation are excluded from these financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new standard that eliminates the current requirement to categorize within the fair value
hierarchy investments with fair values measured at net asset value (NAV) using the practical expedient in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 Fair Value Measurement. The new standard will require entities to disclose the fair
values of such investments as a reconciling item between the balance sheet amounts and the amounts reported in the fair value hierarchy table. Entities will be required to continue to disclose information describing the nature and risks of the
investments measured using the NAV practical expedient. The standard is effective for the Plan beginning on January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The Plan adopted the standard on January 1, 2015.
In July 2015, the FASB issued a new three-part standard that simplifies employee benefit plan reporting. Part I of the standard eliminates the requirement to
measure and present fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at fair value within the statements of net assets available for benefits and related disclosures and also eliminates the requirement to reconcile contract value to fair value, when
these measures differ. Under the new standard, fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are measured, presented and disclosed only at contract value. Part II of the standard simplifies plan investment disclosures and Part III provides for a
measurement-date practical expedient. The standard is effective for the Plan beginning on January 1, 2016. Plans may early adopt any of the three parts of the standard without adopting the other parts. The Plan early adopted Parts I and II of
the standard in 2015 and reflected the provisions of Parts I and II for all periods presented in these financial statements. The measurement date practical expedient provided by Part III of the standard is not applicable as the Plans year end
coincides with the end of the reporting year in which investments are measured.
3. Investments
General
The Plan invests in an interest income fund that
holds synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (GICs) that are fully benefit-responsive with insurance companies and other financial institutions. Since the synthetic GICs are fully benefit-responsive, contract value is the most relevant
measurement attribute for that portion of net assets available for benefits attributable to synthetic GICs. Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. There are no
reserves against the contract value for credit risk of the contract issuer or otherwise.
A synthetic GIC is a wrap contract paired with an underlying
investment or investments, usually a portfolio of high-quality, intermediate term fixed income securities. A synthetic GIC credits a stated interest rate for a specified period of time. Investment gains and losses are amortized over the expected
duration of the underlying investments through the calculation of the interest rate applicable to the Plan on a prospective basis. Synthetic GICs provide for a variable crediting rate and the issuer of the wrap contract provides assurance that
future adjustments to the crediting rate cannot result in a crediting rate less than zero. The crediting rate is primarily based on the current yield-to-maturity of the covered investments, plus or minus amortization of the difference between the
fair value and contract value of the covered investments over the duration of the covered investments at the time of computation. The crediting rate is most impacted by the change in the annual effective yield-to-maturity of the underlying
securities, but is also affected by the differential between the contract value and the fair value of the covered investments. This difference is amortized over the duration of the covered investments. Depending on the change in duration from reset
period to reset period, the magnitude of the impact to the crediting rate of the contract to market difference is heightened or lessened. The crediting rate is adjusted monthly.
Certain events limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value. Upon the occurrence of certain events, such as the Plans failure to maintain
its tax qualified status, the fair value of the investment in the synthetic GICs (if lower than its book value) may be repaid. No such events are currently known to have occurred, nor are any such events contemplated as probable by management of the
Plan.
Under certain circumstances investment contracts may be terminated. Settlement upon termination will be at contract value unless the terms of the
contract were not met or other events as described above trigger payment at fair value.
The Plan owns the investments underlying the synthetic GICs,
which consist primarily of U.S. government securities, corporate debt obligations, and mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities. As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, the fair values of the wrap contracts were not material.
Primarily as a result of the Plans investment in certain common/collective trusts, the Plans assets may be invested from time to time in
derivative financial instruments. These financial instruments are generally used for liquidity purposes. The Plans exposure to derivatives is limited to its investment in these common/collective trusts. At December 31, 2016 and 2015, the
Plans financial exposure related to derivatives was not material.

Fair Value of Assets
The accounting standard for fair value measurements defines fair value, establishes a market-based framework or hierarchy for measuring fair value, and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard is applicable whenever assets and liabilities are measured and included in the financial statements at fair value.
The fair value hierarchy established in the standard prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation techniques into three levels as follows:
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar instruments, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments
in inactive markets, and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets; and
Level 3
Unobservable inputs where valuation models are supported by little or no market activity that one or more significant inputs are unobservable and require us to develop relevant assumptions.
The following table presents the fair value of the assets in the Plan by asset category and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of
December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

There are no financial assets or liabilities categorized as Level 3 in the Plan as of December 31, 2016 or
December 31, 2015. During 2016, the Plan had no financial assets or liabilities that were transferred between Levels 1 and 2.

Valuation Techniques
The fair value of the Company Common Stock Fund, which consists primarily of Lockheed Martin common stock, is the combined fair value of the underlying common
stock and short-term cash position of the fund. The fair value of the common stock portion of the fund is based on the closing price of the common stock on its primary exchange. The short-term cash portion of the fund is recorded at cost, which
approximates fair value.
Effective April 28, 2017, the Company Common Stock Fund is no longer an investment option for new contributions and
investment transfers. On April 30, 2018 all remaining investments in the Company Common Stock Fund will be liquidated and participant balances will be transferred to a Vanguard Target Retirement Trust based on date of birth and assumed
retirement age of 65.
Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end reported on the active market on which the
individual securities are traded. Common/collective trusts and managed separate accounts are valued at the net asset value of units or shares held by the Plan at year-end; the net asset value for these investments is corroborated by observable
market data (e.g., purchases or sales activity). Units in common/collective trusts may be redeemed on a daily basis.
The valuation methods described
above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while management believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market
participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
4. Parties-in-Interest Transactions
The following
transactions are considered to be party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption from the prohibited transaction regulations exist:
The
Plan held 652,294 and 631,516 shares of Lockheed Martin common stock within the Company Common Stock Fund as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Dividends earned by the Plan on Lockheed Martin common stock were $4,425,465 for the year
ended December 31, 2016.
The Plan paid $1,423,522 in expenses to FMTC, the trustee and FIIOC, the record-keeper, for the year ended
December 31, 2016. Certain plan investments are managed by affiliates of the Plans trustee.
In addition, notes receivable from participants
are considered to be party-in-interest transactions for which a statutory exemption from the prohibited transaction regulation exists.
5. Income Tax
Status
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) dated March 13, 2014, stating that the Plan is
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Code) and, therefore, is exempt from taxation.
The Plan has been amended since
issuance of the determination letter. However, the plan administrator and the Corporations counsel believe that the current design and operations of the Plan are in compliance with applicable provisions of the Code.
GAAP requires plan management to evaluate uncertain tax positions taken by the Plan. The financial statement effects of a tax position are recognized when the
position is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, to be sustained upon examination by the IRS. The plan administrator has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Plan, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2016, there are no
uncertain positions taken or expected to be taken. The Plan has recognized no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions. The plan administrator believes it is no longer
subject to federal tax examinations for years prior to 2013.

6. Reconciliation of Financial Statements to Form 5500
The accompanying financial statements present fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at contract value. The Form 5500 requires fully
benefit-responsive investment contracts to be reported at fair value. Therefore, net assets available for plan benefits and total additions to net assets available for plan benefits on the Form 5500 exceeded the related amounts on the financial
statements by $2,770,000 and $4,980,000 as of December 31, 2016 and 2015, due to the differences between fair value and contract value for fully benefit-responsive investment contracts.
