Income from Continuing Operations of $357 Million

 

Contract Acquisitions a Record $12.3 Billion

 

2006 Guidance for Earnings per Share of $4.25 to $4.40 Reaffirmed

LOS ANGELES – Apr. 25, 2006 — Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported first quarter 2006 income from continuing operations of $357 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, compared with $398 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. First quarter 2005 income from continuing operations included an after-tax gain of $45 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, from the sale of TRW Automotive common stock. First quarter 2006 sales decreased to $7.2 billion from $7.5 billion in the first quarter of 2005, due to lower sales in the company’s Ships business.

 

“As expected, our first quarter includes strong operating performances from Information & Services, Aerospace and Electronics. At Ships, we continue to progress toward pre-Katrina production levels,” said Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman chairman, chief executive officer and president. “Contract bookings during the quarter were a record $12.3 billion. Based on this strong start, we continue to expect double-digit growth in earnings per share and substantial cash generation in 2006.”

 

The company’s first quarter 2006 segment operating margin increased to $644 million from $638 million in first quarter of 2005. First quarter 2006 segment operating

margin reflects higher operating margin in Information & Services, Electronics and Aerospace, partially offset by lower operating margin in Ships.

 

Unallocated expenses for the 2006 first quarter increased to $35 million from $27 million in the same period of 2005. Operating margin was unchanged at $595 million.

 

Other income/expense for the 2006 first quarter decreased to an expense of $1 million from income of $82 million in the prior year period. First quarter 2005 included a pre-tax gain of $70 million from the sale of approximately 7.3 million shares of TRW Automotive common stock.

 

The effective tax rate applied to income from continuing operations for the 2006 first quarter was 30.9 percent compared with 33.2 percent in the 2005 first quarter.

 

Net income for the 2006 first quarter declined to $358 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, from $409 million, or $1.11 per diluted share, for the same period of 2005. First quarter 2005 net income included the $45 million after-tax gain from the TRW Automotive common stock sale and an $11 million after-tax gain from the sale of Teldix GmbH. Earnings per share are based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 350.8 million for the first quarter of 2006 and 367 million for the first quarter of 2005.

 

Contract acquisitions increased to $12.3 billion in the first quarter of 2006 from $7.8 billion for the same period of 2005. The increase includes the impact of contract acquisitions delayed from the 2005 fourth quarter by the delay in the passage of the 2006 defense budget, as well as several significant new business awards. Total backlog, which includes funded backlog and firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer, was $58 billion at Mar. 31, 2006 compared with $56.3 billion at Dec. 31, 2005.

 

Cash Measurements, Debt and Share Repurchases

 

Net cash used by operating activities in the first quarter of 2006 totaled $115 million compared with net cash provided by operating activities of $263 million in the first quarter of 2005. Capital spending totaled $173 million in the 2006 first quarter, including $54 million for Hurricane Katrina damage repair at Ships, compared with total capital spending of $197 million in the 2005 first quarter. During the 2006 first quarter, insurance recoveries related to hurricane damage, repair and restoration totaled $54 million.

 

Cash and cash equivalents declined to $373 million at Mar. 31, 2006 from $1.6 billion at Dec. 31, 2005. During the first quarter of 2006 the company reduced total debt by approximately $430 million and repurchased $787 million (including approximately 11.6 million shares under an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement) of its common stock. Since the inception of its share repurchase programs in August of 2003, the company has retired approximately 53 million shares of its common stock for approximately $3 billion. Weighted average diluted shares outstanding declined to 350.8

million for the first quarter of 2006 compared with 367 million for the first quarter of 2005, and common shares outstanding totaled 343.3 million at Mar. 31, 2006. Under the most recent $1.5 billion share repurchase authorization announced in Oct. 2005, approximately $213 million remains. The company intends to complete the repurchase of shares under the current authorization by the end of 2006.

 

2006 Guidance

 

For 2006, the company continues to expect sales of approximately $31 billion, earnings per share from continuing operations of $4.25 to $4.40 and cash from operations of $2.3 billion to $2.6 billion.

 

Business Results

 

As was previously announced, beginning with the first quarter of 2006 the company has implemented enhancements in the reporting of its financial results. Effective Jan. 1, 2006, the company established a new reportable segment, Technical Services, to leverage existing business strengths and synergies in logistics support, sustainment and technical services. Technical Services consolidates multiple programs in logistics operations from the Electronics, Integrated Systems, Mission Systems and Information Technology segments.

 

In addition the company has categorized its seven reporting segments into four businesses. The results of the Mission Systems, Information Technology and Technical Services segments are aggregated as Information & Services. The results of the Integrated Systems and Space Technology segments are aggregated as Aerospace, and the Electronic Systems segment is now reported as Electronics. The Newport News and Ship Systems sectors continue to be reported as Ships.

 

The company has also revised its reporting of intercompany margin recognition and elimination for the company’s operating segments. In order to provide a more relevant depiction of the management and performance of its businesses, operating margin for each of the company’s segments will include margin on intersegment sales. Schedule 4 provides a reconciliation of the new reporting format with past financial reports. Schedule 2 provides a summary of the financial results for the four businesses and the seven reporting segments that comprise them. The operating information shown below excludes intersegment eliminations shown in Schedule 2.

Information & Services sales increased $34 million, or 1 percent, during the first quarter of 2006 due to higher sales in Mission Systems and Information Technology. The increase in sales at Mission Systems includes higher volume on Command, Control & Intelligence Systems programs, which was partially offset by lower volume on the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile program. Higher sales in Information Technology include higher volume on Defense, Civilian Agencies, and Intelligence programs. These increases were partially offset by lower Commercial, State & Local sales, primarily due to a $53 million sales decline in the reseller business. In the first quarter of 2006, the company announced the exit of the reseller business, which it expects to complete by the end of 2006.

 

Information & Services first quarter 2006 operating margin increased 13 percent, primarily due to improved performance in Missile Systems and Command, Control & Intelligence Systems programs in the Mission Systems segment.

First quarter 2006 Aerospace sales increased 7 percent from the first quarter of 2005 reflecting a 12 percent increase in Integrated Systems sales and slightly lower sales in Space Technology. Higher volume on the F/A-18, F-35, E-2C Advanced Hawkeye, and E-2 Post Multi-Year Procurement programs contributed to the increase in Integrated Systems revenue. Space Technology sales decreased 1 percent due to lower sales in Missile & Space Defense, Civil Space and Software Defined Radios programs, which were partially offset by higher sales in Satellite Communications programs.

Electronics first quarter 2006 sales decreased 2 percent from the first quarter of 2005 primarily due to lower sales in Aerospace Systems and Navigation Systems. In Aerospace Systems, F-16 Block 60 program sales declined as deliveries progressed, and Navigation Systems sales were impacted by the divestiture of Teldix in 2005. These declines were partially offset by higher sales in Government Systems programs.

 

Electronics first quarter 2006 operating margin increased 9 percent from the first quarter of 2005 due to improved performance in Defensive Systems and Aerospace Systems programs.

Ships first quarter 2006 sales decreased 25 percent from the first quarter of 2005 due to lower volume on the DD(X) program, as well as lower volume due to hurricane-related work delays on the LPD, LHD, DDG, and Coast Guard Deepwater programs. Results for Aircraft Carrier and Submarine programs were comparable to prior year results.

 

Ships operating margin decreased 36 percent from the first quarter of 2005, and reflects lower DD(X) volume and lower volume and reduced margin rates for the LPD, LHD, DDG, and Coast Guard Deepwater programs as a result of hurricane-related cost growth and work delays.

 

First Quarter 2006 Highlights

 

    The National Nuclear Security Administration awarded a Northrop Grumman-led joint venture a five-year, $2.5 billion contract for the management and operation of its Nevada Test Site.
