     Despite lower sales, first quarter 2012 segment operating income increased $68 million, or 9 percent, to $789 million, and segment operating margin rate improved 200 basis points to 12.7 percent. Higher segment operating income and margin rate were primarily due to performance improvement at Electronic Systems and Information Systems.
While first quarter 2012 operating income decreased $15 million or 2 percent, operating margin rate increased 80 basis points to 12.8 percent. The change over the prior year includes the $68 million increase in segment operating income, which was more than offset by a $71 million decrease in net FAS/CAS pension adjustment and a $13 million increase in unallocated corporate expense. On a pension-adjusted basis, operating income increased 8 percent, and pension-adjusted operating margin rate expanded 180 basis points to 12.3 percent.
First quarter 2012 net earnings totaled $506 million, or $1.96 per diluted share, compared with $530 million, or $1.79 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2011. First quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share are based on 258 million weighted average shares outstanding compared with 296.9 million shares in the first quarter of 2011, a decrease of 13 percent. Results for the first quarter 2011 reflect the spin-off of Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. (HII), effective March 31, 2011, as discontinued operations.

Federal and foreign income tax expense totaled $250 million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with $262 million in the prior year period. The effective tax rate for the 2012 first quarter declined to 33.1 percent from 34.6 percent for the first quarter of 2011 due to higher manufacturing deductions than in the prior year period.
Effective Jan. 1, 2012, the company transferred its missile business, principally the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile program (ICBM), previously reported in Aerospace Systems to Technical Services. Schedule 6 provides a reconciliation of previously reported and current results.

Aerospace Systems first quarter 2012 sales declined 8 percent due to lower volume for manned military aircraft and space programs, which more than offset higher volume for unmanned systems such as Global Hawk and Firebird. Lower sales for military aircraft reflects lower volume across several programs, including F-35 (due to the adoption of units-of-delivery revenue recognition beginning with low rate initial production lot 5) and Joint STARS, as well as fewer F/A-18 deliveries. Lower volume for these manned aircraft programs more than offset higher volume for the E-2D program. Lower sales in space systems reflects lower volume for restricted programs and the cancellation of a weather satellite program.
Aerospace Systems first quarter 2012 operating income declined 3 percent and operating margin rate increased 60 basis points to 11.7 percent from 11.1 percent. The decrease in operating income is due to lower volume, and the increase in margin rate reflects performance improvement due to contract risk mitigation and affordability improvement initiatives.

Electronic Systems first quarter 2012 sales declined 5 percent principally due to lower volume for programs in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and targeting systems (ISR&T) and navigation systems programs. Lower ISR&T sales reflects $90 million lower postal automation volume primarily due to the company's previously announced decision to de-emphasize its domestic postal automation business. Lower navigation systems sales primarily reflect lower demand for domestic systems.
Electronic Systems first quarter 2012 operating income increased 28 percent, and operating margin rate increased to 17.6 percent from 13.1 percent. Higher operating income and margin rate reflect improved program performance in ISR&T resulting from a higher level of favorable performance adjustments due to contract risk mitigation and cost reductions, which more than offset the impact of lower volume.

Information Systems first quarter 2012 sales declined 9 percent due to lower volume in all three business areas. For defense systems, lower funding on existing programs due to in-theater troop drawdowns, a program termination and program completions reduced first quarter 2012 sales. Civil systems volume was reduced by the sale of the County of San Diego outsourcing contract, which contributed sales of $30 million in the 2011 first quarter, and the completion of the Enterprise Network Management contract. For intelligence systems, lower volume across several programs, including Counter Narco-Terrorism Programs and Operations (CNTPO), reduced sales during the quarter.
Information Systems first quarter 2012 operating income increased 6 percent and operating margin rate increased to 11.1 percent from 9.6 percent in the prior year period. Higher operating income and margin rate primarily reflect favorable performance on several civil systems programs, as well as cost reductions resulting from affordability initiatives, both of which more than offset the impact of lower volume.

Technical Services first quarter 2012 sales declined 10 percent due to lower volume in defense and government services and integrated logistics and modernization programs. Lower defense and government services volume reflects reduced cyclical sustainment requirements on the ICBM program (previously reported in Aerospace Systems), as well as portfolio shaping actions. Lower volume for integrated logistics and modernization reflects lower volume for the KC-10 program and the intercompany CNTPO program.
Technical Services first quarter 2012 operating income increased 3 percent, and operating margin rate increased to 9.3 percent from 8.2 percent, principally due to improved program performance in integrated logistics and modernization.

Northrop Grumman Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results
15



Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure: Today’s press release contains non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) financial measures, as defined by SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) 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 our 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. 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.
Pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations: Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding the after-tax net pension adjustment per share, as defined below. 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 an internal measure of financial performance.
Free cash flow from continuing operations: Cash provided by continuing operations less capital expenditures (including outsourcing contract & related software costs). We use free cash flow from continuing operations as a key factor in our planning for, and consideration of, strategic acquisitions, stock repurchases and the payment of dividends. This measure should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow from continuing operations is reconciled in Table 2.
Net pension adjustment: Pension expense determined in accordance with GAAP less pension expense allocated to the operating segments under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Net pension adjustment is presented in Table 1.
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 2012 and 2011 financial performance as presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating income: Operating income before net pension adjustment as reconciled in Table 1. Management uses pension-adjusted operating income as an internal measure of financial performance.
Pension-adjusted operating margin rate: Pension-adjusted operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Management uses pension-adjusted operating margin rate, as reconciled in Table 1, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Segment operating income: Total earnings from our four segments including allocated pension expense recognized under CAS. Reconciling items to operating income are unallocated corporate expenses, including unallowable or unallocable portions of management and administration, legal, environmental, certain compensation and retiree benefits, and other expenses; net pension adjustment; and reversal of royalty income included in segment operating income. Management uses segment operating income, as reconciled in Table 4, as an internal measure of financial performance of our individual operating segments.
Segment operating margin rate: Segment operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Management uses segment operating margin rate, as reconciled in Table 4, as an internal measure of financial performance.
