Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.</div><div>General</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan is a qualified profit-sharing and stock bonus plan that includes an employee stock ownership plan sponsored by Northrop Grumman Corporation (the “Company” or “Plan sponsor”). The Plan was established February 1, 1962. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan's Benefit Plans Administrative and Investment Committees control and manage the operation of the Plan. State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street” or the “Trustee”) serves as Trustee of the Plan. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Plan investments are participant directed. The Plan holds an interest in the Northrop Grumman Defined Contribution Plans Master Trust (the “DC Master Trust”). It also holds investments in a short-term investment fund at the Trustee, and participant-directed brokerage accounts held in the Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC BrokerageLink Account (“BrokerageLink Account”). </div><div>Eligibility</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan covers substantially all hourly and salaried employees of the Company who are at least 18 years old, are citizens or residents of the United States of America (“U.S.”), are not covered under another plan, and whose pay is determined in accordance with the U.S Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and processed on a U.S. payroll system of the Company. </div><div style="margin-top:5pt">Contributions</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Participant contributions are subject to certain limitations imposed by the Code. Contributions can be made on a tax-deferred (pre-tax) basis, after-tax basis or to a Roth 401(k) on an after-tax basis, or a combination thereof through payroll withholdings. Participants may also rollover benefit payments from certain pension plans sponsored by the Company and other qualified plans into the Plan. Active participants may change the percentage of their contributions. First time eligible employees (newly hired, rehired, and certain transfers) are automatically enrolled into the Plan approximately 45 days after the date of hire, rehire, or transfer unless an alternative election is made. Contributions for those automatically enrolled in the Plan increase by one percent each year up to a maximum percentage specified by the Plan sponsor and relate to pre-tax and Roth 401(k) contributions only.</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;margin-top:5pt">For employees hired before April 1, 2016, the employer’s matching contributions are generally as follows:<table style="border-collapse:collapse;display:inline-table;margin-bottom:5pt;vertical-align:text-bottom;width:100.000%"><tr><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:81.111%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td><td style="width:1.0%"></td><td style="width:16.689%"></td><td style="width:0.1%"></td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom">Employee Contribution</td><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:center;vertical-align:bottom">Employer Match</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#cceeff;border-top:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><div>First 2% of eligible compensation</div></td><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#cceeff;border-top:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 0 2px 1pt;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">100 </td><td style="background-color:#cceeff;border-top:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 1pt 2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><div>Next 2% of eligible compensation</div></td><td colspan="2" style="padding:2px 0 2px 1pt;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">50 </td><td style="padding:2px 1pt 2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><div>Next 4% of eligible compensation</div></td><td colspan="2" style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 0 2px 1pt;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">25 </td><td style="background-color:#cceeff;padding:2px 1pt 2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">%</td></tr><tr><td colspan="3" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 1pt;text-align:left;vertical-align:bottom"><div>Contributions over 8%</div></td><td colspan="2" style="border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 0 2px 1pt;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom">— </td><td style="border-bottom:1pt solid #000000;padding:2px 1pt 2px 0;text-align:right;vertical-align:bottom"></td></tr></table></div><div>Certain employees hired or rehired between July 1, 2008 and April 1, 2016, and who meet the applicable Plan requirements, are also eligible to receive an additional employer contribution known as a Retirement Account Contribution ("RAC"). The RAC contribution is generally made annually in the first quarter of the following year.

Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and are issued at an interest rate set at the prime rate plus one percent. Repayments are made from payroll deductions (for active employees) or other forms of payment (for former employees or employees on a leave of absence). As of December 31, 2025, outstanding participant loans had maturities through 2040 and interest rates ranging from 4.25 percent to 11.5 percent.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES <div>Basis of Accounting </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). </div><div>Use of Estimates </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. </div><div>Risks and Uncertainties </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan provides various investment options to its participants. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, including interest rate and credit risk, overall market volatility, market risks including global events such as pandemics or international conflicts, and risks related to U.S. and foreign government instability. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities may occur in the near term, and those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. </div><div>Fair Value of Financial Instruments </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan and the DC Master Trust measure the fair value of its financial instruments using observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;padding-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-40.5pt">Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;padding-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-40.5pt">Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;padding-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-40.5pt">Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. </div><div>Investment Valuation and Income Recognition </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The investments held by the Plan and the DC Master Trust are stated at fair value with the exception of synthetic GICs in the Stable Value Account of the DC Master Trust, which are stated at contract value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (see Note 4). The synthetic GICs are stated at contract value because contract value is the amount that would be received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value is equal to the value of initial deposited principal, plus accumulated interest and additional deposits, minus withdrawals and expenses (see Note 5). Plan management provides direction and oversight of the valuation process. The fair value of Plan and DC Master Trust investments is determined as follows:</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Investments in mutual funds and U.S. equities, which include common stocks, are valued at the last reported sales price on the active market on which the securities are traded on the last business day of the plan year. Investments in CCT funds are valued based on the net asset value (“NAV”) derived by investment managers, as a practical expedient. The short-term investment fund is not an exchange-traded fund, however, the price per unit is published and represents the actual price at which the units held in the fund can be bought or sold. Fixed-income securities are valued based on broker quotes or model-derived valuations. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">All securities and cash equivalents are quoted in the local currency and then converted into U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Broker commissions, transfer taxes, and other charges and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase, sale, or other disposition of securities or other investments are added to the cost of such securities or other investments, or are deducted from the proceeds of the sale or other disposition thereof, as appropriate. Taxes, if any, on fund assets, or on any gain resulting from the sale or other disposition of such assets, or on the earnings of the funds, are apportioned among the participants whose interests in the Plan are affected, and the share of such taxes apportioned to each such person is charged against their account in the Plan. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Trustee, in performing any required valuations or calculations, relies on the prices provided by pricing sources, the investment managers, Plan management or the participant’s broker as a certification as to the value. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The DC Master Trust allocates investment income, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities to the participating plans daily based upon the market value of each plan’s investment.

<div>Basis of Accounting </div>The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

<div>Use of Estimates </div>The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

<div>Risks and Uncertainties </div>The Plan provides various investment options to its participants. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, including interest rate and credit risk, overall market volatility, market risks including global events such as pandemics or international conflicts, and risks related to U.S. and foreign government instability. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities may occur in the near term, and those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

<div>Fair Value of Financial Instruments </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Plan and the DC Master Trust measure the fair value of its financial instruments using observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect internal market assumptions. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;padding-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-40.5pt">Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt;padding-left:40.5pt;text-indent:-40.5pt">Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. </div>Level 3 - Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

<div>Investment Valuation and Income Recognition </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The investments held by the Plan and the DC Master Trust are stated at fair value with the exception of synthetic GICs in the Stable Value Account of the DC Master Trust, which are stated at contract value. Fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (see Note 4). The synthetic GICs are stated at contract value because contract value is the amount that would be received by participants if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. Contract value is equal to the value of initial deposited principal, plus accumulated interest and additional deposits, minus withdrawals and expenses (see Note 5). Plan management provides direction and oversight of the valuation process. The fair value of Plan and DC Master Trust investments is determined as follows:</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Investments in mutual funds and U.S. equities, which include common stocks, are valued at the last reported sales price on the active market on which the securities are traded on the last business day of the plan year. Investments in CCT funds are valued based on the net asset value (“NAV”) derived by investment managers, as a practical expedient. The short-term investment fund is not an exchange-traded fund, however, the price per unit is published and represents the actual price at which the units held in the fund can be bought or sold. Fixed-income securities are valued based on broker quotes or model-derived valuations. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">All securities and cash equivalents are quoted in the local currency and then converted into U.S. dollars. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Broker commissions, transfer taxes, and other charges and expenses incurred in connection with the purchase, sale, or other disposition of securities or other investments are added to the cost of such securities or other investments, or are deducted from the proceeds of the sale or other disposition thereof, as appropriate. Taxes, if any, on fund assets, or on any gain resulting from the sale or other disposition of such assets, or on the earnings of the funds, are apportioned among the participants whose interests in the Plan are affected, and the share of such taxes apportioned to each such person is charged against their account in the Plan. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">The Trustee, in performing any required valuations or calculations, relies on the prices provided by pricing sources, the investment managers, Plan management or the participant’s broker as a certification as to the value. </div>The DC Master Trust allocates investment income, realized gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the underlying securities to the participating plans daily based upon the market value of each plan’s investment. The realized gain or loss on investments is the difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments sold. The unrealized appreciation or depreciation is the aggregate difference between the current fair market value and the cost of investments.

<div>Notes Receivable from Participants </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Participant loans are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest.</div>

<div>Expenses </div>Plan expenses are paid by the Plan or the Plan sponsor as provided in the Plan document. Fees incurred by the Plan for investment management services of $3.5 million are presented as a reduction to investment income in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the year ended December 31, 2025.

INTEREST IN SYNTHETIC GUARANTEED INVESTMENT CONTRACTS<div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Synthetic guaranteed investment contracts consist of fully benefit-responsive wrapper contracts that provide specified interest rates. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on the underlying assets are not reflected immediately in the net assets of the Plan, but are amortized as adjustments to the future interest-crediting rate over a period equal to or less than the duration of the underlying assets. Primary variables affecting the future crediting rate of the wrapper contracts include the current yield of underlying assets, the duration of underlying assets, and the difference between the market value and contract value of underlying assets. </div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Investments held in synthetic guaranteed investment contracts (at contract value) totaled $3.1 billion and $3.2 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. </div>Certain events, such as Plan termination or a plan merger initiated by the Plan sponsor, may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at contract value or may allow for the termination of the wrapper contract at less than contract value. Plan management believes that the occurrence of events that may limit the ability of the Plan to transact at less than contract value is not probable.

The initial collateral required is 102 percent of the fair value of U.S. securities borrowed and 105 percent for foreign equity securities borrowed. The DC Master Trust bears the risk of loss with respect to any unfavorable change in fair value of the invested cash collateral. However, the borrower bears the risk of loss related to the decrease in the fair value of the securities collateral and, therefore, may have to deliver additional cash or securities to maintain the required collateral. In U.S. markets, State Street generally enters into a netting arrangement with a borrower which permits the netting of mark-to-market exposure for transactions within the lending program with that borrower. Such arrangements would cover lending transactions with the borrower and reverse repurchase agreements of cash collateral involving investment of the collateral. State Street may also negotiate a right of offset in the event of borrower default. In the event of borrower default, State Street indemnifies the DC Master Trust against any loss of the amount loaned. As of December 31, 2025, cash and non-cash collateral associated with securities on loan totaled $167 million and $33 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, cash and non-cash collateral associated with securities on loan totaled $603 million and $91 million, respectively. Cash collateral primarily consists of short-term investment funds. Non-cash collateral consists of fixed-income securities. All of the securities on loan are collateralized at more than 102 percent.</div>

EXEMPT PARTY-IN-INTEREST TRANSACTIONS <div style="margin-bottom:5pt">Party-in-interest transactions through the DC Master Trust include the purchase and sale of investments managed by affiliates of the Plan's Trustee and transactions involving Northrop Grumman Corporation common stock. The NG Stock Fund within the DC Master Trust held 7.1 million and 7.7 million shares of common stock of the Company with a fair value of $4.0 billion and $3.6 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Plan’s interest in the net assets of the NG Stock Fund was approximately 99.6 percent and 99.5 percent at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During 2025, the NG Stock Fund earned dividends of $66 million from its investment in Northrop Grumman Corporation common stock.</div><div style="margin-bottom:5pt">State Street affiliates managed $0.1 million and $0.9 million of Plan assets held in a short-term investment fund as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Plan paid $0.4 million to the Trustee in fees during the year ended December 31, 2025. </div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt">The DC Master Trust utilized various investment managers to manage its net assets. These net assets may be invested into funds also managed by the investment managers. Therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan had transactions with the Trustee’s short-term investment fund, a liquidity pooled fund in which participation commences and terminates on a daily basis. In Plan management’s opinion, fees paid during the year for services rendered by parties-in-interest were based upon customary and reasonable rates for such services. The Plan also issues loans to participants, which are secured by the vested balances in the participants' accounts.</div>

PLAN TERMINATION <div style="margin-bottom:9pt">Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan provisions to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to ERISA provisions. In the event of a Plan termination, participants will become fully vested in their accounts.</div>

FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS <div style="margin-bottom:9pt">The Plan obtained its latest determination letter dated August 31, 2021, in which the IRS determined that the Plan’s terms at the time of the determination letter application were in compliance with applicable sections of the Code and, therefore, is exempt from taxation. In December 2016, the IRS began publishing a Required Amendments List for individually designed plans which specifies changes in qualification requirements. The list is published annually and requires plans to be amended for each item on the list, as applicable, to retain its tax-exempt status. Management believes the Plan and related trust are currently designed, have been amended, and are being operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the Plan’s financial statements.</div>
