According to space Twitter, yes, that is correct. Atlas and Centaur both performed nominally.

Edit: looks like Tory Bruno (ULA CEO) has confirmed that Atlas and Centaur performed well [0]

ULA remains expensive, slow moving, but very reliable. It seems like they have a healthier engineering culture than Boeing.
I know people over there. They are struggling but there's still a solid contingent that gives a shit. To spite some missteps they seem to be doing ok at getting young blood in and maintaining a productive culture.
ULA is a JV between Lockheed and Boeing though?
Maybe they have have actual Lockeed Engineers managing the JV, instead of Boeing's Financeers.
They have their own separate team, the companies just have stakes in it.
Yes, but it's pretty solidly firewalled off from both.
