=== Company History<ref>https://www.britannica.com/topic/BAE-Systems</ref> ===
=== Company History ===
BAE Systems was formed in 1999, the result of a merger between British Aerospace PLC (BAe) and Marconi Electronic Systems, which was formerly part of General Electric Company PLC. The origin of British Aerospace PLC itself dates back to 1977, with the merger of British Aircraft Corporation, Hawker Siddeley Aviation and some other firms.
 
Hawker Siddeley itself is yet again the result of mergers between several British aircraft companies in the 1950s and 60s, and was divided into Hawker Siddeley Aviation (aircraft production) and Hawker Siddeley Dynamics (missiles and rockets).
 
In 1990, BAe sold its corporate jet division to Raytheon, and became a partner in the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. In 1999, BAe finally signed a deal with General Electric to merge with its electronics business, Marconi Electronic Systems, and this resulted in the formation of BAE Systems.

==== Expected Return on Investment ====
The Stockhub users estimate that the expected return of an investment in BAE Systems plc over the next five years is  '''31%'''. This value was arrived at through the use of an intrinsic valuation in the form of a discounted cash flow model.
 
Assuming that a suitable return level of five years is 10% per year (based of the S&P 500 returns) and BAE Systems achieves its return level of '''31%''', then the company can be considered as '''undervalued'''.

There has been a steady growth in the revenue generated over the past 5 years. A steady gross margin meant that the gross profit also grew and resulted in monotonically growing EBITDA and EBIT values for each year. However, slightly fluctuating interest and tax expenses meant that the net income to the company varied year-on-year. However, the main point of consideration is that the coronavirus pandemic did not cause severe decline in the revenue or the costs that BAE systems generated, a testament to their adaptiveness, but this also implies that defence is a market independent of global pandemics.

Over the next 5 years, it is expected that the revenue will continue growing, with a 16% jump between the 2022 and 2023 revenue. As a result, gross income, operating income and net income will all grow monotonously. Due to the slight difference between how BAE systems defined their EBIT and therefore net income, the net income projection was arrived at by first projecting the EBT including Unusual Items, which, in recent years, had an average margin of 9%. From this, the projected tax expense, at a tax rate of 12% was deducted, to arrive at the net income to the company. The net income values are not yet corrected for minority interest earnings, such as the fixed dividends paid to owners of BAE Systems' preferred stock. All data required for this projection is in the Appendix, taken from Capital IQ.

==== Expected Return on Investment ====
|10282
The Stockhub users estimate that the expected return of an investment in BAE Systems plc over the next five years is  '''31%'''. This value was arrived at through the use of an intrinsic valuation in the form of a discounted cash flow model.
 
Assuming that a suitable return level of five years is 10% per year (based of the S&P 500 returns) and BAE Systems achieves its return level of '''31%''', then the company can be considered as '''undervalued'''.

==== Notes on projections ====
Revenue projections were adapted from Capital IQ's estimates, and cross-checked with Yahoo Finance.
 
The COGS margin was projected by taking the average of COGS margins from 2017 onwards, as there seems to have been a stabilisation after this year.
 
The Selling General & Admin Expenses, Depreciation and Amortisation, Other Operating Expenses and the Tax Expenses were projected by applying average of each respective margin over the historical period and applying it to each forecast year.
 
Amortisation of Goodwill and Intangibles was projected as growing from 1.1% to 1.5% to model the steady increase in its margin seen in the historical period.
 
* <small>Note: Upon cross-check with BAE System's Annual Report, Capital IQ presents the true depreciation expense as "Depreciation and Amortisation", and the true Amortisation Expense as "Amortisation of Goodwill and Intangibles".</small>
 
Capital Expenditure was taken as having a steady 3% margin, seen from the recent step up in its value (2021, 2022)
 
Change in NWC was projected by taking the average of the non-negative margins from the historical data, and applying this average as the margin for each forecast year.

==== Notes on projections ====
==== Sensitivity Analysis ====
Revenue projections were adapted from Capital IQ's estimates, and cross-checked with Yahoo Finance.
A sensitivity analysis was also conducted to reflect how changes in the discount rate and perpetuity growth rate would affect the intrinsic value of the company.
 
The COGS margin was projected by taking the average of COGS margins from 2017 onwards, as there seems to have been a stabilisation after this year.
 
The Selling General & Admin Expenses, Depreciation and Amortisation, Other Operating Expenses and the Tax Expenses were projected by applying average of each respective margin over the historical period and applying it to each forecast year.
 
Amortisation of Goodwill and Intangibles was projected as growing from 1.1% to 1.5% to model the steady increase in its margin seen in the historical period.
 
* <small>Note: Upon cross-check with BAE System's Annual Report, Capital IQ presents the true depreciation expense as "Depreciation and Amortisation", and the true Amortisation Expense as "Amortisation of Goodwill and Intangibles".</small>
 
Capital Expenditure was taken as having a steady 3% margin, seen from the recent step up in its value (2021, 2022)
 
Change in NWC was projected by taking the average of the non-negative margins from the historical data, and applying this average as the margin for each forecast year.

BAE Systems believes that managing risks effectively is key to successfully delivering on their strategies and strategic priorities. They employ a thorough, multifaceted, top to bottom risk management framework, which aims to mitigate any risk to their strategy that is identified. The Board has the overall responsibility, advised by the Audit, ESG and Executive Committees. The basis of the framework is:
|915
 
|30267
Identify, Analyse, Evaluate, Mitigate
|6.08
 
|
All risks primarily affect their future revenue and financial health.

|2499
=== Government customers, defence spending and terms of trade risks ===
|1203
These risks affect strategies 1, 2, 3, 5
|
 
|1.54
* 95% of sales in 2022 were in defence. Government expenditure on defence can vary based on policy, politics, budgetary constraints as well as national security threats, and some governments have already faced constraints. However, BAE has a geographically well-spread market, many countries within which have announced plans to defence spending in response to the currently elevated global threats. BAE also benefits from a large order backlog, as well as establishment with long-term projects.
|12.11
* BAE systems faces threats to their ability to secure and maintain government contracts. Financial reviews can lead to budgetary reconsiderations and premature termination of contracts. However, BAE is established as being a major contributor to the industrial capabilities of the countries within its market.
|23.15
* BAE also faces a risk with the fact that its cashflows depend on the timing and success in being awarded contracts as well as when they receive the corresponding cash. Not receiving cashflow on time can lead to an inability to focus on their own expenditure without requiring external funding - impacting credit rating. However, BAE manages their balance sheet conservatively, to ensure flexibility, as well as monitoring liquidity to ensure the retrieval of cash needed for operations.
|-
 
|Leonardo S.p.a.
=== International market risks ===
|BIT: LDO
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,5
|13.95
 
|EUR
* The risks of operating in international markets include: social and political changes impacting the business environment, economic downturns, political instability and civil disturbances, the imposition of restraints on the movement of capital, the introduction of burdensome taxes or tariffs, change of export control, tax and other government policy and regulations in the UK, US and all other relevant jurisdictions, and the inability to obtain or maintain the necessary export licences. Similar to the risk on fluctuations in government expenditure, BAE has a geographically well-spread market, many countries within which have announced plans to defence spending in response to the currently elevated global threats. BAE also benefits from a large order backlog, as well as establishment with long-term projects.
|575
* They are exposed to volatility arising from movements in currency exchange rates, particularly in respect of the US dollar, euro, Saudi riyal and Australian dollar. There has been volatility in currency exchange rates in 2022.  
|8025
* Brexit can still affect BAE System's ability to participate in, and receive contracts for, European Union-funded projects. However, BAE has a major role in certain European programmes, such as the Eurofighter, and is also supporting the UK government in maintaining the UK's role in European security and defence.
|4110
 
|12135
=== Contract risk, execution and supply chain risks ===
|1.62
These risks affect strategies 1,2,4,5
|
 
|16347
* There is a risk associated with the costs of fixed-price contracts exceeding the contract amount, and hence resulting in a local loss. The price is agreed based on a projection of the inflation rate, and hence is subject to fluctuation. It is important for BAE systems to maintain tight tolerances on quality, time and cost, in a reliable, predictable and repeatable manner. They have also limited fixed-price contracts regarding design and development, which tend to have more associated risk.
|1536
* Like any business associated with product manufacturing. BAE system relies on its supply chain, which has intrinsic risk. There are lead-time and availability issues, as well as pricing pressures from inflationary increases in labour, energy and key materials.
|857
 
|
=== Cyber security risks ===
|0.74
These risks affect strategies 1,3,4
|7.90
 
|8.61
* Cyber threats can cause business and operational disruption. BAE Systems faces risks potential cybersecurity threats in the form of:
|-
** Attacks impacting availability of its information technology and operational technology infrastructure and systems
|Airbus SE
** Attempts to gain access to or delete proprietary and classified information, of BAE Systems as well as its customers, partners and suppliers.
|ENXTPA: AIR
 
|137.79
These threats are mitigated through constant monitoring, as well as cyber security training for its personnel.
|EUR
 
|789
=== Competition in international markets ===
|108744
These risks affect strategies 1,3,5
| -4661
 
|104083
* BAE systems need to be able to win contracts for new and high-quality programmes, while depending on UK and US government support. However, their multi-market and international presence, balanced business portfolio and their capable and reliable track record of delivery is a factor that combats this risk. BAE systems also invests in research and development, to ensure cutting-edge technology that puts them in line with, or ahead of, the competition.
|5.33
 
|
=== Outbreak of contagious disease ===
|67010
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5
|7702
 
|3872
* Similar to that of COVID-19, new pandemics can cause sever disruption to its operations, as well as its market. However, having been through the coronavirus pandemic, it is expected that the experience in dealing with such an event can minimise the impact of future pandemics, experience including safe working practices and effectively implementing working from home.
|
 
|1.55
=== Climate change and the environment ===
|13.51
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5,6
|25.85
 
|-
* BAE systems could face rigorous environmental laws and regulations, regarding air emissions, waste handling, use and handling of hazardous materials, remediation of soil and groundwater, contamination and the prevention of pollution through greenhouse gas emission. This could affect operations, as well as an ability to sell. Harsh environmental conditions could directly affect operations, through natural disasters and accidents arising from the environment. Furthermore, the adjustment to a low-carbon economy could mean increased tariffs and compliance costs, as well as a potentially reduced demand base, driven by politics and morality. However, BAE systems are working towards the target of achieving net zero across operations by 2030.
|Northrop Grumman Corporation
 
|NYSE: NOC
=== Laws and regulations ===
|430.17
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5,6
|USD
 
|151
* Their operations are within a highly regulated environment across multiple jurisdictions, and is therefore subject to regulations related to import-export controls, money laundering, false accounting, anti-bribery and anti-boycott provisions. It is crucial that BAE systems maintains responsible business and financial practices. They may also be affected by export restrictions, affecting their ability to sell their products.
|65085
 
|13726
=== Acquisitions ===
|78811
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,5
|30.23
 
|
* BAE Systems believes in the virtue of investing in value-enhancing acquisitions, where such an acquisition brings them closer to their strategised goals. They must ensure successful migration and integration of acquired business, as well as perform post-acquisition monitoring of its expected benefits

The Board has the overall responsibility, advised by the Audit, ESG and Executive Committees. The basis of the framework is:
 
Identify, Analyse, Evaluate, Mitigate
 
All risks primarily affect their future revenue and financial health.
 
=== Government customers, defence spending and terms of trade risks ===
These risks affect strategies 1, 2, 3, 5
 
* 95% of sales in 2022 were in defence. Government expenditure on defence can vary based on policy, politics, budgetary constraints as well as national security threats, and some governments have already faced constraints. However, BAE has a geographically well-spread market, many countries within which have announced plans to defence spending in response to the currently elevated global threats. BAE also benefits from a large order backlog, as well as establishment with long-term projects.
* BAE systems faces threats to their ability to secure and maintain government contracts. Financial reviews can lead to budgetary reconsiderations and premature termination of contracts. However, BAE is established as being a major contributor to the industrial capabilities of the countries within its market.
* BAE also faces a risk with the fact that its cashflows depend on the timing and success in being awarded contracts as well as when they receive the corresponding cash. Not receiving cashflow on time can lead to an inability to focus on their own expenditure without requiring external funding - impacting credit rating. However, BAE manages their balance sheet conservatively, to ensure flexibility, as well as monitoring liquidity to ensure the retrieval of cash needed for operations.
 
=== International market risks ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,5
 
* The risks of operating in international markets include: social and political changes impacting the business environment, economic downturns, political instability and civil disturbances, the imposition of restraints on the movement of capital, the introduction of burdensome taxes or tariffs, change of export control, tax and other government policy and regulations in the UK, US and all other relevant jurisdictions, and the inability to obtain or maintain the necessary export licences. Similar to the risk on fluctuations in government expenditure, BAE has a geographically well-spread market, many countries within which have announced plans to defence spending in response to the currently elevated global threats. BAE also benefits from a large order backlog, as well as establishment with long-term projects.
* They are exposed to volatility arising from movements in currency exchange rates, particularly in respect of the US dollar, euro, Saudi riyal and Australian dollar. There has been volatility in currency exchange rates in 2022.
* Brexit can still affect BAE System's ability to participate in, and receive contracts for, European Union-funded projects. However, BAE has a major role in certain European programmes, such as the Eurofighter, and is also supporting the UK government in maintaining the UK's role in European security and defence.
 
=== Contract risk, execution and supply chain risks ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,4,5
 
* There is a risk associated with the costs of fixed-price contracts exceeding the contract amount, and hence resulting in a local loss. The price is agreed based on a projection of the inflation rate, and hence is subject to fluctuation. It is important for BAE systems to maintain tight tolerances on quality, time and cost, in a reliable, predictable and repeatable manner. They have also limited fixed-price contracts regarding design and development, which tend to have more associated risk.
* Like any business associated with product manufacturing. BAE system relies on its supply chain, which has intrinsic risk. There are lead-time and availability issues, as well as pricing pressures from inflationary increases in labour, energy and key materials.
 
=== Cyber security risks ===
These risks affect strategies 1,3,4
 
* Cyber threats can cause business and operational disruption. BAE Systems faces risks potential cybersecurity threats in the form of:
** Attacks impacting availability of its information technology and operational technology infrastructure and systems
** Attempts to gain access to or delete proprietary and classified information, of BAE Systems as well as its customers, partners and suppliers.
 
These threats are mitigated through constant monitoring, as well as cyber security training for its personnel.
 
=== Competition in international markets ===
These risks affect strategies 1,3,5
 
* BAE systems need to be able to win contracts for new and high-quality programmes, while depending on UK and US government support. However, their multi-market and international presence, balanced business portfolio and their capable and reliable track record of delivery is a factor that combats this risk. BAE systems also invests in research and development, to ensure cutting-edge technology that puts them in line with, or ahead of, the competition.
 
=== Outbreak of contagious disease ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5
 
* Similar to that of COVID-19, new pandemics can cause sever disruption to its operations, as well as its market. However, having been through the coronavirus pandemic, it is expected that the experience in dealing with such an event can minimise the impact of future pandemics, experience including safe working practices and effectively implementing working from home.
 
=== Climate change and the environment ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5,6
 
* BAE systems could face rigorous environmental laws and regulations, regarding air emissions, waste handling, use and handling of hazardous materials, remediation of soil and groundwater, contamination and the prevention of pollution through greenhouse gas emission. This could affect operations, as well as an ability to sell. Harsh environmental conditions could directly affect operations, through natural disasters and accidents arising from the environment. Furthermore, the adjustment to a low-carbon economy could mean increased tariffs and compliance costs, as well as a potentially reduced demand base, driven by politics and morality. However, BAE systems are working towards the target of achieving net zero across operations by 2030.
 
=== Laws and regulations ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,4,5,6
 
* Their operations are within a highly regulated environment across multiple jurisdictions, and is therefore subject to regulations related to import-export controls, money laundering, false accounting, anti-bribery and anti-boycott provisions. It is crucial that BAE systems maintains responsible business and financial practices. They may also be affected by export restrictions, affecting their ability to sell their products.
 
=== Acquisitions ===
These risks affect strategies 1,2,3,5
 
* BAE Systems believes in the virtue of investing in value-enhancing acquisitions, where such an acquisition brings them closer to their strategised goals. They must ensure successful migration and integration of acquired business, as well as perform post-acquisition monitoring of its expected benefits
