Northrop Grumman Reports Fourth Quarter and 2009 Financial Results
- Q4 EPS of $1.31; 2009 EPS of $5.21
- 2010 Guidance for EPS from Continuing Operations of $5.70 to $5.95
- TASC, Inc. Divestiture Completed; Reported as Discontinued Operations
- Q4 Share Repurchases of $450 Million; 2009 Share Repurchases Total $1.1 Billion
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported fourth quarter 2009 net earnings of $413 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, and 2009 net earnings of $1.7 billion, or $5.21 per diluted share. In 2008, the company reported a fourth quarter net loss of $2.5 billion, or $7.75 per diluted share, and a net loss for the year of $1.3 billion, or $3.77 per diluted share. 2008 fourth quarter and full year results were significantly impacted by a goodwill impairment charge.
In December 2009, the company completed the sale of TASC, Inc. (TASC), its advisory services business, for $1.65 billion in cash and a net gain of $0.05 per share. TASC's operating results are accounted for as discontinued operations, and results for all periods presented in this release have been adjusted for the divestiture. Fourth quarter 2009 earnings from continuing operations totaled $375 million, or $1.19 per diluted share. For 2009, earnings from continuing operations totaled $1.6 billion, or $4.87 per diluted share.
Fourth quarter 2009 sales, restated for the TASC divestiture, increased 2 percent to $8.9 billion from $8.8 billion, and 2009 sales increased more than 4 percent to $33.8 billion from $32.3 billion. Reported sales for 2009 and 2008 exclude TASC sales of approximately $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion, respectively.
Cash provided by operations in the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $931 million compared with $1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008. Cash provided by operations totaled $2.1 billion in 2009 compared with $3.2 billion in 2008. The change was primarily driven by a $538 million increase in pension plan contributions and $508 million in taxes paid in the fourth quarter of 2009 on the gain on the sale of TASC. Cash proceeds of $1.65 billion from the sale of TASC are reported in investing activities.
"We're pleased to report strong 2009 results that demonstrate continued improvement in operating performance. Looking ahead, the focus of our leadership team and our 120,000 employees will be on driving performance improvements that create value for our shareholders and our customers," said Wes Bush, chief executive officer and president, "Our guidance for 2010 calls for EPS from continuing operations to grow by 17 to 22 percent and to be accompanied by continued strong cash generation," continued Bush.

Fourth quarter 2009 operating income increased to $631 million from a loss of $2.2 billion in the 2008 fourth quarter. For 2009, operating income increased to $2.5 billion from a loss of $263 million in 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008 the company recorded a $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge. Results for 2009 also include a $574 million change in net pension adjustment from income of $263 million in 2008 to an expense of $311 million in 2009. As a percent of sales, operating income totaled 7.1 percent in the 2009 fourth quarter and 7.4 percent for 2009. For purposes of comparison, Table 1 presents operating income adjusted for the goodwill impairment charge and the effect of net pension adjustments.
Federal and foreign income taxes totaled $195 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 compared with $264 million in the prior year. The effective tax rate for the 2009 fourth quarter was 34.2 percent and the federal tax rate applied to adjusted earnings in the fourth quarter of 2008 was 34.6 percent. For 2009, federal and foreign income taxes totaled $693 million compared with $859 million for 2008. The effective tax rate for 2009 was 30.6 percent and the effective tax rate applied to earnings adjusted for goodwill in 2008 was 33.8 percent. In 2009 federal and foreign income taxes included a net tax benefit of $75 million, primarily for final settlement of the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) examination of the company's 2001, 2002 and 2003 tax returns.
Backlog and New Business Awards
Total backlog, which includes funded backlog and firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer, was $69.2 billion on Dec. 31, 2009, compared with $76.4 billion on Dec. 31, 2008. Total backlog for both periods has been adjusted by $1.6 billion for the divestiture of TASC Inc. The change in backlog reflects new business awards totaling $32.3 billion during the year as well as a decrease of $5.8 billion for the Kinetic Energy Interceptor program termination for convenience and the DDG 1000 program restructure.

Guidance for 2010 segment operating margin rate calls for margin rate expansion across the businesses. Operating margin rate guidance for 2010 includes improved segment performance, an expense of approximately $35 million for net pension adjustment, and some consideration for potential program performance risks and opportunities. Net pension adjustment represents the difference between pension expense determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and pension expense allocated to the business segments under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
Guidance for 2010 earnings per share from continuing operations of $5.70 - $5.95 includes the operating margin rate improvements discussed above and assumes a lower share count consistent with the company's previously announced intention to repurchase enough shares to offset the loss of TASC's earnings. These items were partially offset by a higher effective tax rate assumption of approximately 34.5 percent.

Free cash flow totaled $703 million in the 2009 fourth quarter compared with $790 million in the prior year period. For 2009, free cash flow totaled $1.4 billion compared with $2.4 billion in 2008. The change in free cash flow in the 2009 periods reflects higher net pension plan contributions and taxes paid on the gain on the sale of TASC.

Aerospace Systems fourth quarter 2009 sales increased 7 percent, and 2009 sales increased 6 percent, principally due to higher volume for unmanned and manned aircraft, and restricted programs. Higher volume for these programs was partially offset by lower volume for missile programs.
Aerospace Systems fourth quarter 2009 operating income increased to $291 million from a loss of $305 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, and 2009 operating income increased to $1.1 billion from $416 million. As a percent of sales, fourth quarter 2009 operating income totaled 10.5 percent, and 2009 operating income totaled 10.3 percent. Higher volume and favorable net performance adjustments contributed to the higher operating income and rate in the fourth quarter and 2009; the improvement over prior year results was primarily driven by the $570 million goodwill impairment charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2008.

as a % of sales 13.2% 13.6% 12.6% 13.4%
Electronic Systems fourth quarter 2009 sales increased 2 percent, and 2009 sales increased 9 percent. The fourth quarter increase reflects higher volume for F-35, postal automation, and navigation programs. The 2009 increase includes higher deliveries of Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) systems, higher volume for the Space Based Infrared Systems (SBIRS) follow-on production and F-35 programs, and higher intercompany sales for aerospace programs.
Electronic Systems fourth quarter 2009 operating income was comparable to the prior year period, and as a percent of sales was 13.2 percent compared with 13.6 percent. The change in margin rate reflects lower performance for government systems programs than in the prior year period. For 2009, operating income increased 2 percent, and as a percent of sales was 12.6 percent compared with 13.4 percent in 2008. Results for 2009 reflect higher volume, partially offset by lower performance in government systems programs. In addition, operating income for 2008 included $60 million of royalty income related to patent infringement settlements. Before royalty income, Electronic Systems 2008 operating income was 12.6 percent of sales.

as a % of sales 5.0% 7.7% 7.3% 7.7%
Information Systems fourth quarter 2009 sales were comparable to the prior year period, and 2009 sales increased 5 percent due to higher volume for intelligence and defense programs.
Information Systems fourth quarter 2009 operating income declined 35 percent, and as a percent of sales totaled 5 percent compared with 7.7 percent in the prior year period. For 2009, operating income was comparable to the prior year, and as a percent of sales totaled 7.3 percent compared with 7.7 percent in 2008. The change in rate for both the fourth quarter and 2009 reflects the impact of non-recurring costs associated with the sale of TASC that reduced operating income by $37 million. Margin rates before the non-recurring costs were 6.8 percent for the fourth quarter and 7.8 percent for 2009. The change in rate also includes lower performance for state and local programs, principally the outsourcing program for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Shipbuilding fourth quarter 2009 sales decreased 4 percent primarily due to lower volume for the DDG and fleet support programs and delivery of the LHD 8 in 2009, which was partially offset by higher volume for aircraft carriers, submarines, LPD and LHA programs. 2009 sales were slightly higher than the prior year and included higher volume for submarine, LPD, and aircraft carrier refueling programs, partially offset by lower volume for DDG 51 and fleet support programs.
Shipbuilding fourth quarter 2009 operating income increased to $88 million from a loss of $2.3 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008, and 2009 operating income increased to $299 million from a loss of $2.3 billion for 2008. Prior year results included a goodwill impairment charge that reduced fourth quarter and 2008 results by $2.5 billion.
Adjusted for the goodwill impairment charge, as a percent of sales, Shipbuilding 2009 fourth quarter operating income totaled 5.3 percent compared with 9 percent for the 2008 fourth quarter. The change in rate for the quarter is primarily due to lower performance for the LPD program. Adjusted for the goodwill impairment charge, 2009 operating income improved to 4.8 percent of sales from 3 percent of sales in 2008.

(1) Non-GAAP measure. Management uses segment operating income as an
internal measure of financial performance for the individual
business segments.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure: Today’s press release contains non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measures, as defined by SEC Regulation G and indicated by a footnote in the text of the release. While we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating Northrop Grumman’s financial information, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Definitions are provided for the non-GAAP measures and reconciliations are provided in the body of the release and in attached schedules. References to a “Table” in the definitions below relate to tables in the body of this press release. Other companies may define these measures differently or may utilize different non-GAAP measures.
Adjusted operating income: Operating income (loss) before the net pension adjustment and, for 2008, the $3.060 billion goodwill impairment charge. Adjusted operating income has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 operating results and is reconciled in Table 1.
Adjusted operating income as a % of sales: Operating income (loss) before the net pension adjustment and, for 2008, the $3.060 billion goodwill impairment charge, divided by sales. Adjusted operating income as a % of sales has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 operating results and is reconciled on Table 1.
Adjusted earnings from continuing operations: Earnings (loss) from continuing operations excluding, in 2008, the $3.060 billion goodwill impairment charge. Adjusted earnings from continuing operations has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 operating results and is reconciled on Table 1.
Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations: Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding, in 2008, the per share impact of the goodwill impairment charge. Adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 operating results and are reconciled in Table 1.
Cash provided by operations before discretionary pension contributions: Cash provided by operations plus after-tax discretionary pension pre-funding. Cash provided by operations before discretionary pension contributions has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 financial performance and is reconciled on Table 3.
Net pension adjustment: Pension expense determined in accordance with GAAP less pension expense allocated to the business segments under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
After-tax net pension adjustment per share: The per share impact of the net pension adjustment as defined above, after tax at the statutory rate of 35% - provided for consistency and comparability of 2009 and 2008 financial performance and is reconciled on Table 1.
Free cash flow: Cash provided by operations less capital expenditures and outsourcing contract and related software costs. Management uses free cash flow as an internal measure of financial performance. Free cash flow is reconciled in Table 3.
Free cash flow before discretionary pension contributions: Free cash flow plus after-tax discretionary pension pre-funding. Management uses free cash flow before discretionary pension contributions, as reconciled in Table 3, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations: Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding the after-tax net pension adjustment and, for 2008, the goodwill impairment charge of $3.060 billion. These per share amounts are provided for consistency and comparability of operating results. Management uses pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, as reconciled in Table 1, as a performance metric for operating results.
Segment operating income (loss): Total earnings (loss) from our five segments including allocated pension expense recognized under CAS. Reconciling items to operating income are unallocated expenses, which include unallocated corporate, legal, environmental, state income tax, and other retiree benefits expenses; net pension adjustment, and reversal of royalty income included in segment operating income. Management uses segment operating income, as reconciled in Table 5, as an internal measure of financial performance of our individual business segments.
Segment operating margin rate % / Segment operating income as a % of sales: Segment operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Management uses segment operating income (loss) %, as reconciled in Table 5, as an internal measure of financial performance.
