CashNet cash provided by operating activities in the quarter totaled $659 million. During the quarter, the company invested $224 million in capital expenditures, paid $349 million in dividends, and used $800 million to repurchase shares, ending the quarter with $2.2 billion in cash and equivalents on hand. For the first half of the year, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.6 billion, or 176% of net earnings.

BacklogOrders remained strong across the company with a consolidated book-to-bill ratio, defined as orders divided by revenue, of 1.1-to-1 for the quarter, with particular strength in the Aerospace segment driven by strong order activity for Gulfstream aircraft. In addition to company-wide backlog of $87.6 billion, estimated potential contract value, representing management’s estimate of additional value in unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options, was $38.7 billion. Total estimated contract value, the sum of all backlog components, was $126.4 billion at the end of the quarter.

Significant awards in the quarter for the three defense segments included $410 million with a maximum potential value of $1.1 billion from the U.S. Army to begin low-rate initial production (LRIP) of the Mobile Protected Firepower vehicle; $295 million for various munitions and ordnance with additional option value of $465 million; $525 million from the Army to upgrade Stryker vehicles; $500 million from the U.S. Navy for long-lead materials to support construction of two additional John Lewis-class (T-AO-205) fleet replenishment oilers; $355 million to produce Abrams main battle tanks in the system enhancement package version 3 (SEPv3) configuration for Australia; $160 million with a maximum potential value of $325 million from the U.S. Space Development Agency to build and operate ground systems for the new low earth orbit (LEO) satellite network; $315 million from the Navy for submarine industrial base development and expansion for the Columbia-class submarine program; a contract with a maximum potential value of $300 million for development and sustainment of applications and websites for the Administrative Office of the United States Courts; and $545 million for several key classified contracts.

We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash
flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes
such as repaying debt, funding business acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use
free cash flow to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key performance measure in evaluating management.

(f)     

We define net debt as short- and long-term debt (total debt) less cash and equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful
measure for investors because it reflects the borrowings that support our operations and capital deployment strategy.
We use net debt as an important indicator of liquidity and financial position.

The estimated potential contract value includes work awarded on unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity

agreements with existing customers to purchase new aircraft and aircraft services. We recognize options in backlog
when the customer exercises the option and establishes a firm order. For IDIQ contracts, we evaluate the amount
of funding we expect to receive and include this amount in our estimated potential contract value. The actual
amount of funding received in the future may be higher or lower than our estimate of potential contract value.
