Northrop Grumman Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results

 

Earnings per Share from Continuing Operations $0.80

 

Income from Continuing Operations $288 Million

 

Cash from Operations Increases to Approximately $900 Million

 

2005 Guidance for Earnings per Share Increased to $3.60 to $3.70

 

2006 Guidance for Earnings per Share of $4.10 to $4.30 Confirmed

 

2005 and 2006 Guidance for Sales and Cash from Operations Confirmed

 

LOS ANGELES – Oct. 25, 2005 — Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported third quarter 2005 income from continuing operations of $288 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, compared with $291 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004. Third quarter 2005 sales were unchanged at $7.4 billion.

 

As announced on Oct. 10, 2005, Northrop Grumman’s third quarter 2005 consolidated sales and earnings were negatively impacted by hurricane damage to the company’s Ship Systems facilities on the Gulf Coast. Hurricane-related impacts reduced Ships third quarter operating margin by $165 million and reduced consolidated third quarter earnings by $0.30 per diluted share. The hurricane-related impacts were partially offset by the sale of 2.1 million shares of Endwave Corporation (Nasdaq: ENWV) common stock, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $81 million, or $0.15 per diluted share.

 

“We again demonstrated our ability to produce higher sales, margin and cash across our businesses,” said Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman chairman, chief executive officer and president. “Although Hurricane Katrina impacted Ships, sales and operating margin rose in every other business, and we’ve generated $2 billion in operating cash year to date, 20 percent more than last year.”

 

The company’s third quarter 2005 consolidated operating margin includes higher operating margin in all of the company’s segments, with the exception of Ships, and operating margin rate expansion in Mission Systems, Information Technology and Space Technology.

Northrop Grumman Reports Third Quarter 2005 Results

 

Operating margin declined to $433 million from $538 million for the same period of 2004, due to the hurricane-related impacts in Ships.

 

Unallocated expenses for the 2005 third quarter declined to $42 million from $62 million in the same period of 2004 reflecting lower legal costs and lower mark-to-market stock compensation expense.

 

During the third quarter of 2005, the company sold 2.1 million shares of Endwave common stock, which generated $81 million in pre-tax earnings. This contributed to the increase in Other, net for the 2005 third quarter to $95 million from an expense of $6 million for the same period in 2004.

 

The effective tax rate applied to income from continuing operations for the 2005 third quarter was 33.8 percent compared with 34.2 percent in the 2004 third quarter.

 

Net income for the 2005 third quarter increased to $293 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, from $278 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, for the same period of 2004. Third quarter 2005 net income reflects a $5 million gain on disposal of discontinued operations, and third quarter 2004 results include a $13 million loss on disposal of discontinued operations.

 

Contract acquisitions increased to $5.2 billion in the third quarter of 2005 from $4.7 billion for the same period of 2004. Total backlog, which includes funded backlog and firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer, was $56.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2005.

 

Cash Measurements and Debt

 

Net cash provided by operating activities for the 2005 third quarter increased to $891 million from $739 million for the third quarter of 2004. Capital spending in the 2005 third quarter totaled $173 million.

 

Northrop Grumman’s total debt was $5.2 billion at Sept. 30, 2005, unchanged from Dec. 31, 2004. Net debt was $3.4 billion at Sept. 30, 2005, compared with $3.9 billion at Dec. 31, 2004.

 

2005 & 2006 Guidance

 

For 2005, the company expects sales to increase to between $30.5 and $31 billion, and earnings from continuing operations to increase to $3.60 to $3.70 per diluted share. The 2005 guidance includes estimated pension expense as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of $415 million, and government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) pension expense of $395 million. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2005 is expected to range between $2.2 and $2.5 billion.

 

For 2006, the company expects sales to increase to approximately $32 billion, and earnings from continuing operations to increase to between $4.10 and $4.30 per diluted share, which assumes that pension expense as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and CAS pension expense are the same as estimates for

2005. Actual 2006 pension expense is subject to variation and will depend on plan asset returns in 2005 and discount rate and expected rate of return assumptions. Net cash provided by operating activities in 2006 is expected to range between $2.3 and $2.5 billion.

Submarines and Aircraft Carriers increased 6 percent and 4 percent, respectively, over the prior year results.

 

The decline in Ships third quarter 2005 operating margin reflects a $150 million cumulative adjustment to account for hurricane-related cost growth at the Ship Systems sector, as well as a $15 million impact from hurricane-related work delays at Ship Systems. Third quarter 2005 results also include higher margin in Aircraft Carriers and Submarines due to higher sales volume and improved performance.

and Development Contract. The award is an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract potentially worth $1 billion over 10 years.

 

    Northrop Grumman signed a contract with the United Kingdom for E-3D AWACS support program valued at approximately $1 billion.

 

    The U.S. Navy awarded Northrop Grumman a contract to provide operations, maintenance and engineering support for the Navy and U.S. Marine Corps East and West Coast training ranges. The contract is valued at approximately $208 million over five years.

 

    The U.S. Navy awarded Northrop Grumman a contract valued at $109.8 million for advanced planning, long-lead material and systems engineering on the LHA(R) amphibious assault ship program. The total contract value, if all options are exercised, will be $264 million.

 

    Northrop Grumman was selected as the lead system integrator for unmanned ground vehicles under the U.S. Army’s Family of Integrated Rapid Response Equipment (FIRRE) program.

(1) Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

 

(2) Non-GAAP measure. Management uses segment operating margin as an internal measure of financial performance for the individual business segments.

 

Pension expense is included in determining segment operating margin to the extent that the cost is currently recognized under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). In order to reconcile from segment operating margin to total company operating margin, these amounts are reported under the caption “Reversal of CAS pension expense included above.” Total pension expense or income determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States is reported separately as a reconciling item under the caption “Pension expense.” The reconciling item captioned “Unallocated expenses” includes the portion of corporate, legal, environmental, other retiree benefits, stock compensation, and other expenses not allocated to the segments.
