General Dynamics Reports Second-Quarter 2011 Results

 

 

EPS Increases 6.5 percent

 

 

Management Raises Guidance For Full-Year EPS

FALLS CHURCH, Va. – General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) today reported second-quarter 2011 earnings from continuing operations of $666 million, or $1.79 per share on a fully diluted basis, compared with 2010 second-quarter earnings from continuing operations of $651 million, or $1.68 per share fully diluted. Revenues in the quarter were $7.9 billion. Net earnings for the second quarter of 2011 were $653 million, compared to $648 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Margins

Company-wide operating margins for the second quarter of 2011 were 12 percent, with particularly strong performance in the defense segments. Operating margins for Combat Systems and Information Systems and Technology grew when compared to the year-ago period, and Marine Systems margins remained steady at 10.2 percent.

Backlog

Customer demand across our portfolio of products and services continued in second-quarter 2011. Demand for Gulfstream aircraft and aircraft services was particularly strong, leading to an increase in the Aerospace backlog for a third consecutive quarter. Combat Systems, Marine Systems and Information Systems and Technology also received key orders, including $285 million from the U.S. Army for Hydra-70 rockets, $800 million for the U.S. Navy’s Mobile Landing Platform program, $330 million to provide the IT infrastructure for the relocation of the Department of Homeland Security’s headquarters to the St. Elizabeths Hospital Campus and $55 million from the U.S. Army for production of 6,250 Rifleman and 100 Manpack radios, as part of the Joint Tactical Radio System Handheld, Manpack, Small Form Fit program.

Funded backlog increased to $44.3 billion at the end of second-quarter 2011. The company’s total backlog at the end of the second-quarter 2011 was $57.1 billion, and the estimated potential contract value was an additional $21.2 billion, which represents management’s estimate of value under unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options.

Cash

Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter totaled $749 million. Free cash flow from operations, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was $658 million for the period, or approximately 100 percent of earnings from continuing operations.

“The strength of General Dynamics’ diverse portfolio and our continued commitment to disciplined execution and efficient cash conversion is evident in our operating results this quarter,” said Jay L. Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer. “Based on the company’s year-to-date results and our outlook for the second half of the year, we now expect full-year 2011 earnings from continuing operations to be $7.15 to $7.20 per share, fully diluted.”

General Dynamics, headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia, employs approximately 88,000 people worldwide. The company is a market leader in business aviation; land and expeditionary combat systems, armaments and munitions; shipbuilding and marine systems; and information systems and technologies.

(A) We believe free cash flow from operations is a measurement that is useful to investors, because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our core businesses for such purposes as repaying maturing debt, funding business acquisitions and paying dividends. We use free cash flow from operations to assess the quality of our earnings and as a performance measure in evaluating management. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to free cash flow from operations is net cash provided by operating activities.
(B) We believe return on invested capital is a measurement that is useful to investors, because it reflects our ability to generate returns from the capital we have deployed in our operations. We use ROIC to evaluate investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating management. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes for the latest 12-month period divided by the sum of the average debt and shareholders’ equity for the same period. Net operating profit after taxes is defined as earnings from continuing operations plus after-tax interest and amortization expense. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to net operating profit after taxes is earnings from continuing operations.
(C) Return on equity is calculated by dividing earnings from continuing operations for the latest 12-month period by our average equity during that period.
(D) Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of the end of the period.
(E) Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of the end of the period.
(F) Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of the end of the period.
(G) Includes independent research and development and bid and proposal costs and Gulfstream product-development costs.
(H) Sales per employee is calculated by dividing revenues for the latest 12-month period by our average number of employees during that period.

*   The estimated potential contract value represents management’s estimate of our future contract value under unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options associated with existing firm contracts, including options to purchase new aircraft and long-term agreements with fleet customers. Because the value in the unfunded IDIQ arrangements is subject to the customer’s future exercise of an indeterminate quantity of delivery orders, we recognize these contracts in backlog only when they are funded. Unexercised options are recognized in backlog when the customer exercises the option and establishes a firm order.
