FALLS CHURCH, Va. – April 27, 2016 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported first quarter 2016 net earnings increased 15 percent to $556 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, from $484 million, or $2.41 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2015.

First quarter 2016 segment operating income decreased to $701 million, and segment operating margin rate decreased 50 basis points to 11.8 percent primarily due to lower operating income for Aerospace Systems than in the prior year period. Operating income decreased 5 percent and operating margin rate decreased 70 basis points to 12.4 percent. Lower operating income reflects the decline in segment operating income and a lower net FAS/CAS pension adjustment than in the prior year period.
During the first quarter of 2016, the company’s total backlog increased and reflects higher backlog at Aerospace Systems and Mission Systems and a modest decline in backlog at Technology Services. The company recorded various awards during the quarter, including a portion of the B-21 Long-Range Strike Bomber program.

First quarter 2016 operating income decreased 5 percent primarily due to lower segment operating income and lower net FAS/CAS pension adjustment than in the prior year period. Lower segment operating income reflects lower operating income at Aerospace Systems and Technology Services, which more than offset higher operating income at Mission Systems. Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment decreased $9 million.
For the first quarter of 2016, federal and foreign income tax expense decreased to $120 million from $220 million in 2015; the company's effective tax rate declined to 17.8 percent from 31.3 percent. Lower federal and foreign income tax expense and effective tax rate are due to the company's adoption of an accounting standard update, as well as the extension of the research tax credit.

update requires excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to share-based compensation be recognized in the income statement and resulted in an $80 million tax benefit in the quarter.

Operating income | 286 | 312 | (8.3 | %) | ||||||
Operating margin rate | 11.1 | % | 12.5 | % | ||||||
Aerospace Systems first quarter 2016 sales increased 3 percent due to higher volume for manned aircraft and autonomous systems programs. Manned aircraft sales rose due to production ramp-up on the E-2D program and higher F-35 deliveries, partially offset by lower volume for the B-2 program and fewer F/A-18 deliveries. Autonomous systems sales rose due to higher volume on the Global Hawk and Triton programs, partially offset by lower volume on NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance. Space sales were comparable to the prior year period.
Aerospace Systems first quarter 2016 operating income decreased 8 percent and operating margin rate decreased to 11.1 percent. Operating income and margin rate decreased due to lower margins on several manned aircraft programs, principally due to the timing of risk reductions, which more than offset higher sales.

Mission Systems first quarter 2016 sales decreased 1 percent due to lower volume for cyber and ISR programs, partially offset by higher volume for sensors and processing programs and advanced capabilities programs. Lower sales for cyber and ISR programs is primarily due to lower volume on the Counter Narcoterrorism Technology program and lower volume for restricted programs. Higher sales in sensors and processing reflect higher volume for fixed wing avionics and C4ISR programs, as well as production ramp-up on the G/ATOR program. These increases were partially offset by lower volume for international programs. Higher sales for advanced capabilities programs reflect ramp-up on several navigation and maritime programs, including the SEWIP (Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program) Block III.
Mission Systems first quarter 2016 operating income increased 3 percent and operating margin rate was 13.1 percent. Higher operating income and margin rate reflect higher margins on advanced capabilities programs, partially offset by lower margins on cyber and ISR programs.

Technology Services first quarter 2016 sales decreased 4 percent primarily due to lower volume for Global Logistics and Modernization (GLM) and Advanced Defense Services (ADS) programs. GLM sales decreased mainly due to ramp-down activities on the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) program and lower volume for restricted programs. ADS sales declined primarily due to program completions in 2015, partially offset by ramp-up on the Passenger Systems Program Directorate program and higher volume on the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Training Support program.
Technology Services first quarter 2016 operating income decreased $7 million due to lower sales, and operating margin rate was comparable to the prior year period at 10.4 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure: Today’s earnings 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 the company believes 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 earnings 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 used in operating activities before after-tax discretionary pension contributions: Cash used in operating activities before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. Cash used in operating activities before discretionary pension contributions has been provided for consistency and comparability of financial performance and is reconciled in Table 2.
Free cash flow: Net cash used in operating activities less capital expenditures. 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 before after-tax discretionary pension contributions: Free cash flow before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. We use free cash flow 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 before discretionary pension contributions is reconciled in Table 2.
Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment: The difference between pension expense charged to contracts and included as cost in segment operating income in accordance with U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) and pension expense determined in accordance with FAS (GAAP Financial Accounting Standards). 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 percent, provided for consistency and comparability of financial performance as presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating income: Operating income before the 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 three segments including allocated pension expense recognized under CAS. Reconciling items to operating income include the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment, as defined above, as well as certain corporate-level expenses, which are not considered allowable or allocable under applicable CAS or FAR. Management uses segment operating income, as reconciled in Table 3, as an internal measure of financial performance.
