FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Jan. 30, 2014 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported fourth quarter 2013 net earnings of $478 million, or $2.12 per diluted share, compared to $533 million, or $2.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2012. Fourth quarter 2013 diluted earnings per share are based on 225.2 million weighted average shares outstanding compared with 248.9 million shares in the fourth quarter of 2012, a decrease of approximately 10 percent. The company repurchased 6.6 million shares of its common stock in the fourth quarter of 2013 for $699 million.
For 2013, net earnings totaled $2.0 billion, comparable to 2012 net earnings. Diluted earnings per share for 2013 increased 7 percent to $8.35 from $7.81 in 2012. Diluted earnings per share for 2013 are based on 233.9 million weighted average shares outstanding compared with 253.4 million shares in 2012. During 2013, the company repurchased 27.3 million shares of its common stock for $2.4 billion. As of Dec. 31, 2013, $3.1 billion remained on the company's current share repurchase authorization. The company has repurchased 20.8 million shares toward its previously announced goal of retiring 60 million shares of its outstanding common stock by the end of 2015, market conditions permitting.
“Our team continues to deliver outstanding results. Although we are encouraged by progress toward a more normal budgeting process for our customers, we expect lower sales in 2014, particularly for our short cycle businesses. Despite this top line pressure, we expect other positive trends, particularly the benefit of our planned share repurchases, to support continued earnings per share growth in 2014. Our strategy remains the same. We are focused on superior program performance, effective cash deployment

Fourth quarter 2013 total operating income decreased $56 million or 7 percent, and operating margin rate decreased 20 basis points to 12.5 percent. Lower operating income includes a $103 million decrease in segment operating income that was partially offset by a $33 million decrease in unallocated corporate expense and a $12 million improvement in net FAS/CAS pension adjustment. Fourth quarter 2013 segment operating income decreased 12 percent and segment operating margin rate decreased to 12.5 percent. The change in segment operating income is due to lower sales and operating margin rate at Aerospace Systems, and lower sales at Information Systems.
For 2013, operating income was $3.1 billion, comparable to the prior year period. Operating margin rate increased 30 basis points to 12.7 percent. Operating income for 2013 reflects a 3 percent decline in segment operating income, principally due to lower sales, partially offset by a $49 million reduction in unallocated corporate expenses and a $36 million improvement in net FAS/CAS pension adjustment.
Total backlog as of Dec. 31, 2013, was $37.0 billion compared with $40.8 billion as of Dec. 31, 2012. The decline in backlog was primarily due to reductions and delays in customer awards resulting from the current U.S. government budget environment as well as Information Systems backlog adjustments of $1.0 billion in the first half of the year, primarily to reduce unfunded backlog for expired periods of performance on active contracts. Fourth quarter 2013 new awards totaled $5.7 billion, and book-to-bill was 92 percent. For 2013, new awards totaled $21.9 billion, and book-to-bill was 89 percent.

For 2013, federal and foreign income tax expense totaled $911 million, compared with $987 million in 2012. The effective tax rate in 2013 declined to 31.8 percent from 33.3 percent in the prior year period. The lower effective tax rate for 2013 is principally due to a $37 million benefit for the American Taxpayer Relief Act, which reinstated research tax credits for years 2012 and 2013, and a $21 million increase in Section 199 manufacturing deductions.

Aerospace Systems fourth quarter 2013 sales decreased 7 percent due to lower volume for unmanned and space programs. Unmanned volume was lower for several programs, primarily Global Hawk. The decrease in space primarily reflects lower volume for restricted programs, partially offset by higher volume for the James Webb Space Telescope.
For 2013, Aerospace Systems sales were slightly higher than the prior year due to higher volume for manned military aircraft programs, offset by lower volume for unmanned and space programs. Higher volume for the F-35, B-2 and E-2D programs contributed to the increase in manned military aircraft sales. The decline in unmanned is primarily due to lower volume for Global Hawk, partially offset by higher volume for NATO AGS. The decline in space programs includes lower volume for restricted work and higher volume for the James Webb Space Telescope and the Advanced EHF program.
Aerospace Systems fourth quarter 2013 operating income decreased 22 percent and operating margin rate decreased 230 basis points to 11.5 percent. Lower operating income and operating margin rate reflect lower sales as well as a $101 million decrease in net favorable adjustments. For 2013, operating income was comparable to the prior year period and operating margin rate declined slightly to 12.1 percent.

Electronic Systems fourth quarter 2013 sales increased 6 percent from the prior year period due to higher volume for space, international and combat avionics programs, which was partially offset by lower volume for navigation and maritime systems programs. For 2013, sales increased 3 percent principally due to higher sales for international and space programs. Higher volume for these programs was partially offset by lower volume for navigation and maritime systems programs and lower volume for laser systems programs due to in-theater force reductions.
Electronic Systems fourth quarter 2013 operating income increased 2 percent, and operating margin rate decreased 70 basis points to 17.8 percent. Electronic Systems fourth quarter 2013 operating income reflects higher sales, partially offset by lower net favorable adjustments than in the prior year period.

Information Systems fourth quarter 2013 sales declined 14 percent due to lower funding levels, including impacts from sequestration and the government shutdown, lower volume for programs impacted by in-theater force reductions, contract completions, and the transfer of intercompany efforts to the company's shared services organization.
For 2013, sales declined 10 percent. The transfer of intercompany efforts to the company's shared services organization accounted for $98 million of the decline. Excluding the transfer, 2013 sales declined 9 percent due to lower funding levels, including the impacts of sequestration, lower volume for programs impacted by in-theater force reductions, and contract completions.
Information Systems fourth quarter 2013 operating income decreased 14 percent and operating margin rate increased 10 basis points to 9.9 percent. Fourth quarter 2013 operating income reflects lower sales, and the higher operating margin rate reflects improved performance.

Fourth quarter operating margin rate increased 40 basis points to 8.8 percent, and 2013 operating margin rate increased 30 basis points to 9.2 percent. The increase in operating margin rate is primarily due to improved performance across several programs.

Northrop Grumman Reports Fourth Quarter and 2013 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: Diluted EPS 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, as reconciled in Table 1, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Cash provided by operating activities before discretionary pension contributions: Cash provided by operating activities before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. Cash provided by operating activities before discretionary pension contributions has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2013 and 2012 financial performance and is reconciled in Table 2.
Free cash flow: Cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures (including outsourcing contract & related software costs). We use free cash flow 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 is reconciled in Table 2.
Free cash flow provided by operating activities before discretionary pension contributions: Free cash flow provided by operating activities before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. We use free cash flow provided by operating activities before discretionary pension contributions 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 provided by operating activities before discretionary pension contributions is reconciled in Table 2.
Net FAS/CAS 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 FAS/CAS pension adjustment is presented in Table 1.
After-tax net pension adjustment per share: The per share impact of the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment as defined above, after tax at the statutory rate of 35%, provided for consistency and comparability of 2013 and 2012 financial performance as presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating income: Operating income before net FAS/CAS 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 FAS/CAS pension adjustment; and reversal of royalty income included in segment operating income. Management uses segment operating income, as reconciled in Table 3, 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 3, as an internal measure of financial performance.
