Northrop Grumman Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results 3

Sales

Second quarter 2020 sales increased $428 million, or 5 percentprimarily due to higher sales at Space Systems and Aeronautics Systems.

Operating Income and Margin Rate

Second quarter 2020 operating income increased $48 million, or 5 percent, primarily due to an increase in segment operating income and lower unallocated corporate expense. Second quarter 2020 operating margin rate of 11.2 percent was comparable to the prior year period.

Segment Operating Income and Margin Rate

Effective April 1, 2020, certain unallowable compensation and other costs previously included in segment operating results are now reported in Unallocated corporate expense within operating income as the company no longer considers these costs as part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance. This change, which increased second quarter 2020 segment operating income by $1 million, has been applied retrospectively and recast results are presented in Schedule 7.

Second quarter 2020 segment operating income increased $38 million, or 4 percent, and reflects higher segment operating income at all four sectors. Segment operating margin rate was comparable to the prior year period and reflects lower segment operating margin rates at Space Systems and Aeronautics Systems, partially offset by a higher segment operating margin rate at Defense Systems.

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

The second quarter 2020 effective tax rate of 16.5 percent was generally comparable to the prior year period.

Net Earnings and Diluted Earnings Per Share

Second quarter 2020 net earnings increased $144 million, or 17 percent, primarily due to a $103 million increase in our FAS (non-service) pension benefit, a $48 million increase in operating income and a $41 million increase in Other, net, largely due to higher returns on marketable securities related to our non-qualified benefit plans, partially offset by a $31 million increase in tax expense.

Operating Cash Flows

Second quarter and year to date 2020 cash provided by operating activities increased $730 million and $650 million, respectively, principally due to improved trade working capital and higher net earnings. The improvement in trade working capital for both periods reflects CARES Act payroll tax deferrals and increased Department of Defense progress payment rates, partially offset by acceleration of payments to suppliers and pass through of increased progress payments to suppliers. Second quarter and year-to-date free cash flow¹ increased to $2.1 billion and $803 million, respectively, after second quarter capital spending of $269 million and year-to-date capital spending of $541 million.

Awards and Backlog

Second quarter and year to date 2020 net awards totaled $14.8 billion and $22.7 billion, respectively, and backlog totaled $70.0 billion. Significant second quarter new awards include $7.4 billion for restricted programs, $1.9 billion for Next Gen OPIR, $0.5 billion for E-2D, $0.4 billion for four commercial satellites and $0.3 billion for Triton.

Segment Operating Results

Segment operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 have been recast to reflect changes in the company’s organizational structure and reportable segments effective Jan. 1, 2020 (presented in Schedule 6). In addition, the unallowable costs change described above has been applied retrospectively in the following tables, and recast results are presented in Schedule 7.

AERONAUTICS SYSTEMS	Three Months Ended June 30						%		Six Months Ended June 30						%
$ in millions	2020			2019			Change		2020			2019			Change
Sales	$	2,925		$	2,721		7	%	$	5,768		$	5,539		4	%
Operating income	310			299			4	%	573			610			(6	)%
Operating margin rate	10.6		%	11.0		%			9.9		%	11.0		%

Sales

Second quarter 2020 sales increased $204 million, or 7 percent, due to higher sales in both Manned Aircraft and Autonomous Systems. Higher volume on restricted programs, E-2D and Triton were partially offset by a COVID-19-related slowdown of F-35 production activity.

Operating Income

Second quarter 2020 operating income increased $11 million, or 4 percent, primarily due to higher sales. Operating margin rate decreased to 10.6 percent from 11.0 percent, principally due to lower net favorable EAC adjustments at Autonomous Systems as well as changes in contract mix at Manned Aircraft, partially offset by a $21 million benefit recognized in connection with the resolution of a government accounting matter.

DEFENSE SYSTEMS	Three Months Ended June 30						%		Six Months Ended June 30						%
$ in millions	2020			2019			Change		2020			2019			Change

Operating income	217			212			2	%	415			416			—	%
Operating margin rate	11.5		%	11.1		%			11.0		%	11.3		%

Sales

Second quarter 2020 sales decreased $30 million, or 2 percent, due to lower volume in Battle Management & Missile Systems, partially offset by higher volume on Mission Readiness programs. Battle Management & Missile Systems sales decreased principally due to lower volume on programs nearing completion, including an international weapons program and several small caliber ammunition programs, partially offset by higher volume on the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (GMLRS), the Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile (AARGM) program and other missile products. Mission Readiness sales increased primarily due to higher restricted volume, partially offset by lower volume on the Hunter sustainment program as it nears completion.

Operating Income

Second quarter 2020 operating income increased $5 million, or 2 percent, primarily due to a higher operating margin rate. Operating margin rate increased to 11.5 percent from 11.1 percent primarily due to improved performance on Mission Readiness programs.

MISSION SYSTEMS	Three Months Ended June 30						%		Six Months Ended June 30						%
$ in millions	2020			2019			Change		2020			2019			Change

Operating margin rate	14.2		%	14.1		%			14.6		%	14.3		%

Sales

Second quarter 2020 sales increased $42 million, or 2 percent, primarily due to higher volume on Airborne Sensors & Networks programs, partially offset by lower volume on Cyber & Intelligence Mission Solutions programs. Airborne Sensors & Networks sales increased primarily due to higher airborne radar volume, including on the Multi-role Electronically Scanned Array (MESA) and Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) programs. Cyber & Intelligence Mission Solutions sales decreased principally due to lower volume on an intelligence program as it nears completion.

Operating Income

Second quarter 2020 operating income increased $9 million, or 3 percent, principally due to higher sales. Operating margin rate was comparable to the prior year period.

SPACE SYSTEMS	Three Months Ended June 30						%		Six Months Ended June 30						%
$ in millions	2020			2019			Change		2020			2019			Change
Sales	$	2,048		$	1,788		15	%	$	3,996		$	3,589		11	%

Operating margin rate	10.2		%	10.8		%			10.3		%	10.7		%

Sales

Second quarter 2020 sales increased $260 million, or 15 percent, due to higher sales in both Space and Launch & Strategic Missiles. Space sales were driven by higher volume on restricted programs, Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Radar (Next Gen OPIR) and the Arctic Satellite Broadband Mission (ASBM) program. Launch & Strategic Missiles sales reflect higher volume on hypersonics and launch vehicle programs, partially offset by lower volume on the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) program.

Operating Income

Second quarter 2020 operating income increased $16 million, or 8 percent, primarily due to higher sales. Operating margin rate decreased to 10.2 percent from 10.8 percent principally due to delays in production for certain commercial space components.

2020 Guidance

2020 financial guidance, as well as outlook, trends, expectations and other forward looking statements provided by the company for 2020 and beyond, reflect the company's judgment based on the information available to the company at the time of this release. The company is increasing its 2020 financial guidance based on year-to-date performance and its most current outlook for the remainder of the year. The company’s 2020 financial guidance reflects the impacts experienced to date from the global COVID-19 pandemic (discussed in the company’s Form 10-Qs), and what the company currently anticipates, based on what the company understands today, to be the impacts on the company for the remainder of the year. The company’s updated financial guidance assumes generally that the most significant adverse impacts from the pandemic on the company’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows occurred in the second quarter of 2020. However, the company cannot predict how the pandemic will evolve or what impact it will continue to have, and there can be no assurance that the company’s underlying assumptions are correct. As discussed more fully in the company’s Form 10-Qs (for Q1 and Q2), and among other factors, disruptions to the company’s operations (or those of its customers or supply chain), additional costs, disruptions in the market, and impacts on programs or payments relating to the global COVID-19 pandemic, today and as it may evolve, can be expected to affect the company’s ability to achieve guidance or meet expectations.  

In addition, the government budget, appropriations and procurement processes can impact our customers, programs and financial results. These processes, including the timing of appropriations and the occurrence of an extended continuing resolution and/or prolonged government shutdown, as well as a breach of the debt ceiling, can impact the company's ability to achieve guidance or meet expectations.

Northrop Grumman Reports Second Quarter 2020 Financial Results 18

Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure: This earnings release contains non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) financial measures, as defined by SEC Regulation G and indicated by a footnote in the text of the release. Definitions for the non-GAAP measures are provided below and reconciliations are provided in the body of the release. Other companies may define these measures differently or may utilize different non-GAAP measures.

MTM-adjusted diluted EPS: Diluted earnings per share excluding the per share impact of MTM (expense) benefit and related tax impacts. This measure may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure in evaluating the company’s underlying financial performance per share by presenting the company’s diluted earnings per share results before the non-operational impact of pension and OPB actuarial gains and losses.

Segment operating income and segment operating margin rate: Segment operating income, as reconciled in the “Consolidated Operating Results and Cash Flows” table within the body of this release, and segment operating margin rate (segment operating income divided by sales) reflect total earnings from our four segments, including allocated pension expense we have recognized under CAS, and excluding unallocated corporate items and FAS pension expense. These measures may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as supplemental measures in evaluating the financial performance and operational trends of our sectors. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as alternatives to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP.

Free cash flow: Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We use free cash flow as a key factor in our planning for, and consideration of, acquisitions, stock repurchases and the payment of dividends. This measure may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental measure of our cash performance, but should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating cash flows presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is reconciled in the “Consolidated Operating Results and Cash Flows” table within the body of this release.
