The company was created as part of a transaction where ATK’s Sporting Group was spun off to create Vista Outdoor, immediately followed by ATK’s Aerospace and Defense Groups merging with Orbital Sciences Corporation to create Orbital ATK. On May 14, Vista Outdoor reported its financial results for Fiscal Year 2015. The company achieved full-year sales of $2.08 billion, gross profit of $529 million, operating profit of $184 million, and earnings per share of $1.25. These results were in line with the company’s expectations. During the fourth quarter, the Board of Directors authorized a $200 million share repurchase program, which affirms our commitment to return value to our shareholders through a balanced capital deployment strategy. Our Company Vista Outdoor is a leader in providing individual outdoor recreation products to a wide variety of outdoor enthusiasts. Product innovation is the lifeblood of a consumer products company, and Vista Outdoor successfully launched several new products this year. The company received strong orders and industry recognition for the Bushnell Tour X golf laser rangefinder, the Savage Arms A17 Rifle and Federal Premium 3rd Degreeȶ ammunition, and we won numerous industry awards for our innovative solutions from across our portfolio of more than 30 brands. Vista Outdoor’s executive leadership team is made up of the finest and most capable executives in the outdoor recreation industry. We have highly talented individuals across the entire company with extensive experience in the consumer products industry and a passion for our products and our businesses. Our culture is founded on the pursuit of excellence, accountability, integrity, innovation, and creating value for our customers and shareholders. In addition to great people and great products, we are committed to corporate social responsibility through our support of conservation organizations, advocating for the safe and responsible use of our products, and supporting military veterans and their families. Our company believes in giving, and we generously donate time and resources to help those who are less fortunate in the communities where we live and work. Business Strategy Vista Outdoor’s mission is to bring the world outside. The company’s vision is to be a leading provider of quality products for the outdoor enthusiast, while delivering superior long-term returns to our shareholders, value for our customers, and rewarding careers for our employees. And our business strategy is to deliver shareholder value by leveraging our engineering, sourcing, sales, marketing and distribution capabilities to create a broad portfolio for the outdoor enthusiast; growing our brands and expanding into complementary and adjacent markets; and focusing on execution excellence and efficiency in all aspects of our business. We are executing against this vision and strategy, and we are focused on being a leader in the global individual outdoor recreation market. Outlook The company continues to face near-term market driven headwinds in the shooting sports market, but we expect to deliver modest growth in FY16. Vista Outdoor will continue to pursue our strategy to create value and deliver earnings and revenue growth through innovative new products, synergies across our portfolio, efficiency in our supply chain, continuous improvement in our manufacturing centers, and strategic acquisitions. We are committed to delivering competitive results, executing our growth strategy, and making Vista Outdoor a premier company in the global outdoor recreation market.

OPINION AND ORDER WOLSKI, Judge. The plaintiff, Alliant Techsystems Inc., ATK Aerospace Group, successor-in-interest to Thiokol Propulsion (“ATK/Thiokol”), filed this suit seeking to recover $2,722,709 of post- retirement benefit costs. These costs were incurred during fiscal years 1996 and 1997 and were due to benefits earned by the employees of ATK/Thiokol during its operation of government- owned, contractor-operated facilities. The government argues that these costs were included among those released in a 1997 settlement agreement between the parties that ended two prior suits in this Court, and ATK/Thiokol counters that this settlement excluded these particular costs. Each party has moved for summary judgment, based on their respective interpretations of the settlement agreement. The Court has concluded that the settlement agreement released the government from liability for these costs, and, as explained below, GRANTS the government’s motion for summary judgment and DENIES ATK/Thiokol’s cross-motion for partial summary judgment.

  • Current Space Launch Vehicles Used by The
    Current Space Launch Vehicles Used by the HEET United States S Nathan Daniels April 2014 At present, the United States relies on Russian rocket engines to launch satellites ACT into space. F The U.S. also relies on Russia to transport its astronauts to the International Space Station (as the U.S. Space Shuttle program ended in 2011). Not only does this reliance have direct implications for our launch capabilities, but it also means that we are funding Russian space and missile technology while we could be investing in U.S. based jobs and the defense industrial base. These facts raises national security concerns, as the United States’ relationship with Russia is ever-changing - the situation in Ukraine is a prime example. This paper serves as a brief, but factual overview of active launch vehicles used by the United States. First, are the three vehicles with the payload capability to launch satellites into orbit: the Atlas V, Delta IV, and the Falcon 9. The other active launch vehicles will follow in alphabetical order. www.AmericanSecurityProject.org 1100 New York Avenue, NW Suite 710W Washington, DC AMERICAN SECURITY PROJECT Atlas Launch Vehicle History and the Current Atlas V • Since its debut in 1957 as America’s first operational intercon- tinental ballistic missile (ICBM) designed by the Convair Divi- sion of General Dynamics, the Atlas family of launch vehicles has logged nearly 600 flights. • The missiles saw brief ICBM service, and the last squadron was taken off of operational alert in 1965. • From 1962 to 1963, Atlas boosters launched the first four Ameri- can astronauts to orbit the Earth.
