Business Description and Basis of Presentation | |
Rockwell Collins, Inc. (the Company or Rockwell Collins) designs, produces and supports communications and aviation systems for commercial and military customers and provides voice and data communication networks and solutions worldwide. | |
The Company operates on a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the Friday closest to the last day of the calendar quarter. For ease of presentation, March 31 and September 30 are utilized consistently throughout these financial statements and notes to represent the period end date. | |
The Company has one consolidated subsidiary with income attributable to a noncontrolling interest. The net income and comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest is insignificant. | |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013. | |
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of adjustments of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. | |
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. | |
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company acquired ARINC Incorporated (ARINC). As a result of the acquisition, the Company's service sales are now greater than ten percent of total sales. Accordingly, service and product sales and service and product cost of sales are now presented separately and prior periods were changed to conform to the current period presentation. This change did not impact previously reported total revenues, total cost of sales, or net income, nor did it have any effect on the Company's financial position or cash flows for any prior periods. | |
As discussed in Note 4, Discontinued Operations and Divestitures, the Company intends to divest the Aerospace Systems Engineering and Support (ASES) business, which was acquired as part of the ARINC transaction. As such, this business is classified as held for sale and has been accounted for as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, disclosures pertain to the Company's continuing operations. |

Recently Issued Accounting Standards | |
In February 2013 the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued amended guidance which requires entities to provide details about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) by component. In addition, entities must disclose the income statement line items affected for significant items reclassified out of AOCI to net income in their entirety. The amendment became effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2014 and is required to be applied prospectively. There was no impact to the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows; the Company did, however, include additional disclosures as required by the new pronouncement, as shown in Note 13. |

On December 23, 2013, the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock and voting interests of Radio Holdings, Inc. (Radio Holdings), the holding company of ARINC, a leading global provider of air-to-ground data and voice communication services. ARINC develops and operates communications and information processing systems and provides systems engineering and integration solutions to five key industries: commercial aviation, business aviation, airports, rail and nuclear power. Combining ARINC’s communication networks and services with the Company’s onboard aircraft information systems will strengthen the Company’s ability to deliver efficiency and enhanced connectivity to aircraft operators worldwide. | |||||||||||||||||
The ARINC purchase price was $1.415 billion, net of cash acquired. The purchase price is subject to post-closing adjustments for potential changes in working capital and other items. As discussed in Note 10, the Company used proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and commercial paper to finance the cash purchase price. The following table, which is preliminary and subject to change, summarizes the estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date. | |||||||||||||||||

(1) Option-holders of ARINC were due approximately $61 million at the transaction closing date. This payment did not clear until December 24, 2013. Therefore the opening balance sheet, which is prepared as of December 23, 2013, includes restricted cash of $61 million and a current liability payable to the ARINC option holders for an equal amount. | |||||||||||||||||
(2) On March 28, 2014, the Company sold the building which was classified as held for sale at the acquisition date. Concurrent with the sale date, the building held for sale and the liability related to the building held for sale were removed from the balance sheet. For more information related to the Building held for sale, see below. | |||||||||||||||||
(3) Assets and liabilities associated with the Business held-for-sale relate to ASES, which the Company intends to divest, as detailed in Note 4. | |||||||||||||||||
The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed within the one year measurement period as allowed by FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations (ASC 805). As of March 31, 2014, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are preliminary. The size and breadth of the ARINC acquisition necessitates use of the measurement period to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the acquisition date, including intangible assets, certain reserves, purchase price adjustments and the related tax impacts of any changes made. Any potential adjustments will be made retroactively and could be material to the preliminary values presented above. | |||||||||||||||||
The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in the recognition of $1.054 billion of goodwill, none of which is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill is included in the Company’s new Information Management Services segment. The goodwill is primarily a result of revenue synergy opportunities generated by the combination of the Company’s aviation electronics and flight services business with ARINC’s network communication solutions and cost synergies resulting from the consolidation of certain corporate and administrative functions. Goodwill also results from the workforce acquired with the business. See Note 22 for additional information relating to the new Information Management Services segment. | |||||||||||||||||
ARINC’s results of operations have been included in the Company's operating results for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on December 23, 2013. ARINC contributed sales of $137 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $143 million from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2014, and net income of $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and $10 million from the date of acquisition through March 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Building Held For Sale and Liability Related to Building Held for Sale | |||||||||||||||||
In connection with the acquisition of ARINC, the Company classified $81 million of acquired real estate assets as Building held for sale at the acquisition date. The Company also recorded a $81 million liability related to the Building held for sale at the acquisition date. The assets and related liability were recorded at their estimated fair value. | |||||||||||||||||
In November of 2004, ARINC obtained approval from the Department of Labor to contribute these real estate assets to their defined benefit pension plan. In connection with this transaction, ARINC entered into a simultaneous agreement to leaseback the contributed facilities for a period of twenty years, through November 1, 2024. As a result of the related party elements of the transaction, no sale or gain was recognized when ARINC contributed the real estate to its pension plan. Instead, ARINC recognized a deferred gain liability equal to the fair value of the contributed real estate. The increase in deferred gain liability was offset by an equal reduction to pension plan liabilities to recognize the fair value of the contributed real estate in the funded status of the pension plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The Building held for sale was comprised of the land and buildings of the ARINC corporate headquarters, located in Annapolis, Maryland. The related liability represented future rental payment obligations under the leaseback agreement. As of the acquisition date, the real estate assets were being marketed for sale. In March 2014, the assets were sold to an unrelated third party. The net proceeds from the sale of $81 million were remitted directly to the ARINC pension plan, and have been included as a benefit to the funded status of that plan, as detailed in Note 11, Retirement Benefits. Concurrent with the sale of the real estate assets, the Company entered into a revised lease agreement with the new owner of the Annapolis, Maryland facilities. The held for sale asset and related liability were removed from the Company's balance sheet upon completion of the sale. The transaction had no impact on the Company's statement of operations or statement of cash flows. | |||||||||||||||||
Transaction-related Expenses | |||||||||||||||||
The Company incurred transaction costs related to the acquisition of $1 million and $16 million during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. Of the year to date amount, $13 million is recorded within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The remaining $3 million is recorded within Interest expense and relates to fees incurred in connection with the bridge credit agreement which was entered into in September 2013 to support the financing of the ARINC acquisition. | |||||||||||||||||
Supplemental Pro-Forma Data | |||||||||||||||||
The following unaudited supplemental pro-forma data presents consolidated pro-forma information as if the acquisition and related financing had been completed as of the beginning of the prior year, or on October 1, 2012. | |||||||||||||||||
The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information does not reflect the potential realization of revenue synergies or cost savings, nor does it reflect other costs relating to the integration of the two companies. This pro-forma data should not be considered indicative of the results that would have actually occurred if the acquisition and related financing been consummated on October 1, 2012, nor are they indicative of future results. | |||||||||||||||||
The unaudited supplemental pro-forma financial information was calculated by combining the Company's results with the stand-alone results of ARINC for the pre-acquisition periods, which were adjusted to account for certain transactions and other costs that would have been incurred during this pre-acquisition period. The pro-forma information included herein is preliminary and may be revised as additional information becomes available and as additional analysis is performed within the one year measurement period allowed by ASC 805. Any potential future adjustments could be material. | |||||||||||||||||

The following significant adjustments were made to account for certain transactions and costs that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on October 1, 2012. These adjustments are net of any applicable tax impact and were included to arrive at the pro-forma results above. As the acquisition of ARINC was completed on December 23, 2013, the pro forma adjustments for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014 in the table below include only the required adjustments through December 23, 2013. | |||||||||||||||||

The Company intends to divest ARINC's ASES business, which provides military aircraft integration and modifications, maintenance, and logistics and support, in order to align with the Company's long-term primary business strategies. The operating results of ASES are included in discontinued operations in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for all periods presented. At March 31, 2014, the Company has classified $69 million of assets related to ASES as a business held-for-sale within current assets and $10 million of liabilities related to ASES as a business held-for-sale within current liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. | |||||||||||||||||

On November 22, 2013, the Company sold its subsidiary, Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc. (KOSI), a supplier of spectrographic instrumentation and applied holographic technology, to Endress+Hauser. The sale price, after post-closing adjustments for changes in working capital, was $23 million. This resulted in a pretax gain of $10 million, which was included in Other income during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The divestiture of this business is part of an overall strategy for the Company to focus on growth opportunities in its addressed markets. As part of the divestiture agreement, the Company entered into a long-term supply agreement with the buyer that allows the Company to continue purchasing certain products from KOSI after completion of the sale. As a result of this continuing involvement, the KOSI divestiture did not qualify for classification as a discontinued operation. As of September 30, 2013, the KOSI business was classified within current assets and current liabilities as a business held-for-sale. |

The Company defers certain pre-production engineering costs during the development phase of a program in connection with long-term supply arrangements that contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement from customers. Such customer guarantees generally take the form of a minimum order quantity with quantified reimbursement amounts if the minimum order quantity is not taken by the customer. These costs are deferred to the extent of the contractual guarantees and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a units-of-delivery method, up to 15 years. This amortization expense is included as a component of cost of sales. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis and begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. The estimated useful life is limited to the amount of time the Company is virtually assured to earn revenues through a contractually enforceable right included in long-term supply arrangements with the Company’s customers. Pre-production engineering costs incurred pursuant to supply arrangements that do not contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

As a result of the ARINC acquisition, the Company recorded $1.054 billion of goodwill. The goodwill value is preliminary and subject to change. Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Company created a new Information Management Services segment. This segment combines the retained portion of the newly acquired ARINC business with the Company's existing flight services business, which had previously been included in the Commercial Systems segment. As a result of the reorganization of the Company's segments, a portion of the goodwill from the Commercial Systems segment was reassigned to the Information Management Services segment using a fair value allocation method. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company performs an annual impairment test of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the second quarter of each fiscal year, or at any time there is an indication goodwill or indefinite-lived intangibles are more-likely-than-not impaired, commonly referred to as triggering events. There have been no such triggering events during any of the periods presented, and the Company's 2014 and 2013 impairment tests resulted in no impairment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

As a result of the ARINC acquisition, the Company has preliminarily allocated $412 million to finite-lived intangible assets with a weighted average life of approximately 14 years and $31 million to indefinite-lived intangible assets. In addition, the Company has also preliminarily allocated $20 million of intangible assets to the ASES business.

Rockwell Collins provides up-front sales incentives prior to delivering products or performing services to certain commercial customers in connection with sales contracts. Up-front sales incentives are recorded as a Customer relationship intangible asset and are amortized using a units-of-delivery method over the period the Company has received a contractually enforceable right related to the incentives, up to 15 years. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis. Amortization begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. Up-front sales incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are amortized as a reduction of sales, whereas incentives consisting of free products are amortized as cost of sales. As of March 31, 2014, the weighted average amortization period remaining for up-front sales incentives was approximately 10 years. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

In the normal course of business or pursuant to the underlying joint venture agreements, the Company may sell products or services to equity affiliates. The Company defers a portion of the profit generated from these sales equal to its ownership interest in the equity affiliates until the underlying product is ultimately sold to an unrelated third party. Sales to equity affiliates were $38 million and $76 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively, and $36 million and $69 million for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013. The deferred portion of profit generated from sales to equity affiliates was $0 at March 31, 2014 and $1 million at September 30, 2013. | ||||||||
Exchange and Rental Assets | ||||||||
Exchange and rental assets consist primarily of Company products that are either exchanged or rented to customers on a short-term basis in connection with warranty and other service related activities. These assets are recorded at acquisition or production cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated lives, up to 15 years. Depreciation methods and lives are reviewed periodically with any changes recorded on a prospective basis.

Commercial Paper Program | ||||||||
Under the Company’s commercial paper program, the Company may sell up to $1.2 billion face amount of unsecured short-term promissory notes in the commercial paper market. The commercial paper notes may bear interest or may be sold at a discount, and have a maturity of not more than 364 days from the time of issuance. The commercial paper program is supported by the Company's five-year $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and a 364-day $200 million revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2014, short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $866 million with a weighted-average interest rate and maturity period of 0.34 percent and 37 days, respectively. At September 30, 2013, short-term commercial paper borrowings outstanding were $235 million with a weighted-average interest rate and maturity period of 0.18 percent and 15 days, respectively. | ||||||||
Revolving Credit Facilities | ||||||||
On September 24, 2013, the Company entered into new credit agreements to ensure adequate commercial paper borrowing capacity in anticipation of the Company's pending ARINC acquisition and to meet other short-term cash requirements. The Company closed on these new revolving credit facilities on December 23, 2013, concurrent with the ARINC acquisition closing date. These new credit facilities consist of a five-year $1.0 billion credit facility that expires in December 2018 and a 364-day $200 million credit facility that expires in December 2014. These agreements replace the prior $850 million revolving credit facility that was terminated concurrently upon the closing of the new agreements. The credit facilities include one financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio of not greater than 60 percent. The ratio excludes the equity impact on accumulated other comprehensive loss related to defined benefit retirement plans. The ratio was 45 percent as of March 31, 2014. The credit facilities also contain covenants that require the Company to satisfy certain conditions in order to incur debt secured by liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions or merge or consolidate with another entity. Borrowings under these credit facilities bear interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a variable margin based on the Company’s unsecured long-term debt rating or, at the Company’s option, rates determined by competitive bid. At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings under either revolving credit facility. | ||||||||
In addition, short-term credit facilities available to non-U.S. subsidiaries amounted to $59 million as of March 31, 2014, of which $18 million was utilized to support commitments in the form of commercial letters of credit. At | ||||||||
March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, there were no short-term borrowings outstanding under the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries’ credit facilities. | ||||||||
At March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, there were no significant commitment fees or compensating balance requirements under any of the Company’s credit facilities. | ||||||||
Bridge Credit Agreement | ||||||||
On December 16, 2013, the Company terminated the $900 million 364-day senior unsecured bridge term loan credit agreement it had previously entered into on September 24, 2013. There were no outstanding borrowings under this agreement. The termination coincided with the receipt of net proceeds from the Company's long-term debt issuance on December 16, 2013. As a result of that long-term debt issuance, the Company no longer required the bridge credit agreement as a potential financing source for the ARINC acquisition. | ||||||||
Current Portion of Long-term Debt | ||||||||
On November 20, 2003, the Company issued $200 million of 4.75 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due | ||||||||
December 1, 2013 (the 2013 Notes). At the time of the debt issuance, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts which effectively converted $100 million of the 2013 Notes to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR less 0.075 percent. See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information relating to the interest rate swap contracts. The 2013 Notes matured on December 1, 2013. The Company initially repaid the 2013 Notes using commercial paper borrowing proceeds, and then subsequently refinanced the amounts borrowed using a portion of the proceeds from the new long-term debt issued on December 16, 2013, which is discussed in further detail below. | ||||||||
New Long-term Debt Issuances | ||||||||
On December 16, 2013, the Company issued $300 million of floating rate unsecured debt due December 15, 2016 (the 2016 Notes). The 2016 Notes bear annual interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.35 percent. As of March 31, 2014 the quarterly interest rate was 0.58 percent. The rate resets quarterly. The net proceeds to the Company from the 2016 Notes, after deducting $1 million of debt issuance costs, were $299 million. | ||||||||
On December 16, 2013, the Company issued $400 million of 3.70 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due December 15, 2023 (the 2023 Notes). The net proceeds to the Company from the 2023 Notes, after deducting a $1 million discount and $3 million of debt issuance costs were $396 million. In March 2014, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts which effectively converted $200 million of the 2023 Notes to floating rate debt based on one-month LIBOR plus 0.94 percent. See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information relating to the interest rate swap contracts. | ||||||||
On December 16, 2013, the Company issued $400 million of 4.80 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due December 15, 2043 (the 2043 Notes). The net proceeds to the Company from the 2043 Notes, after deducting a $2 million discount and $4 million of debt issuance costs were $394 million. | ||||||||
The net proceeds after discounts and debt issuance costs from the December 16, 2013 debt issuance totaled $1,089 million. Approximately $900 million was used to finance the ARINC acquisition and approximately $200 million was used to refinance the 2013 Notes that matured on December 1, 2013. The remaining ARINC purchase price was funded using commercial paper proceeds. | ||||||||
Other Long-term Debt | ||||||||
On November 16, 2011, the Company issued $250 million of 3.10 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due November 15, 2021 (the 2021 Notes). | ||||||||
On May 6, 2009, the Company issued $300 million of 5.25 percent fixed rate unsecured debt due July 15, 2019 (the 2019 Notes). In January 2010, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts which effectively converted $150 million of the 2019 Notes to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR plus 1.235 percent. See Notes 16 and 17 for additional information relating to the interest rate swap contracts. | ||||||||
The 2043, 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2016 Notes are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position net of any unamortized discount within the caption Long-term Debt, Net. The debt issuance costs are capitalized within Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The debt issuance costs and any discounts are amortized over the life of the debt and recorded in Interest expense. | ||||||||
The 2043, 2023, 2021, 2019 and 2016 Notes each contain covenants that require the Company to satisfy certain conditions in order to incur debt secured by liens, engage in sales/leaseback transactions, merge or consolidate with another entity or transfer substantially all of the Company’s assets.

ARINC Pension Plan | |||||||||||||||||
ARINC sponsors two primary pension sub-plans: one for union employees and one for non-union employees. | |||||||||||||||||
Effective April 1, 2006, ARINC froze the majority of its pension plans for employees not covered by bargaining unit agreements. As such, most of the non-union participants in the ARINC pension plans are no longer accruing contribution credits. The plans generally allow for employees who retire, or terminate, to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum and certain existing participants in the plan continue to earn vesting rights and accrue interest on their account balance at rates established by the plan. | |||||||||||||||||
The ARINC pension plans were remeasured as of the acquisition date. ARINC's projected benefit obligation for pensions at December 23, 2013 was $274 million and was calculated using a discount rate of 4.89 percent. The fair value of ARINC's pension plan assets at December 23, 2013 were $270 million. Therefore, the funded status of the ARINC pension as of the December 23, 2013 acquisition date was a $4 million deficit. This net pension benefit obligation is included within Retirement benefits as a liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2014. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company recorded $2 million of income related to the ARINC pension plans, which is reflected in the table above. | |||||||||||||||||
Included in ARINC's pension plan assets at December 23, 2013 was real estate that ARINC contributed to its pension plan in 2004 under a Department of Labor approved transaction. The details of this transaction are further discussed in Note 3, Acquisitions. Refer also to Note 3 for additional discussion regarding the subsequent sale of the contributed real estate to an independent third party in March 2014. The net proceeds from the sale were $81 million and have been retained by the ARINC pension plan for future investment. | |||||||||||||||||
ARINC Other Retirement Benefits | |||||||||||||||||
ARINC also provides postretirement health coverage for many of their current and former employees and postretirement life insurance benefits for certain retirees. These benefits vary by employment status, age, service, and salary level at retirement. | |||||||||||||||||
The postretirement welfare plan was also remeasured as of the acquisition date. ARINC's postretirement plan obligation as of December 23, 2013 was $8 million and was calculated using a discount rate of 4.89 percent. There are no assets for this plan. The obligation is included within Retirement benefits as a liability on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at March 31, 2014. | |||||||||||||||||
Pension Plan Funding | |||||||||||||||||
The Company’s objective with respect to the funding of its pension plans is to provide adequate assets for the payment of future benefits. Pursuant to this objective, the Company will fund its pension plans as required by governmental regulations and may consider discretionary contributions as conditions warrant. In October 2013, the Company voluntarily contributed $55 million to its U.S. qualified pension plan. There was no minimum statutory funding requirement for 2014 and the Company does not currently expect to make any additional discretionary contributions during fiscal year 2014. Furthermore, we are not required to make, and do not intend to make, any contributions to the ARINC pension plans during 2014. Any additional future contributions necessary to satisfy minimum statutory funding requirements are dependent upon actual plan asset returns and interest rates. Contributions to the non-U.S. plans and the U.S. non-qualified plan are expected to total $14 million in 2014. During the six months ended March 31, 2014 the Company made contributions to the non-U.S. plans and the U.S. non-qualified pension plan of $8 million. |

Income Taxes | |
At the end of each interim reporting period, the Company makes an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate. Tax items included in the annual effective income tax rate are pro-rated for the full year and tax items discrete to a specific quarter are included in the effective income tax rate for that quarter. The estimate used in providing for income taxes on a year-to-date basis may change in subsequent interim periods. | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 31.3 percent and 18.3 percent, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily due to the differences in availability of the Federal R&D Tax Credit, partially offset by a favorable adjustment recorded in the current period that related to the resolution of the IRS audit for taxable years ended September 30, 2010 and 2011. | |
During the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 29.4 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively. The higher effective income tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2014, was primarily due to the differences in availability of the Federal R&D Tax Credit as well as the absence of a tax benefit that was recognized last year for net operating loss carryovers in the United Kingdom. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by favorable adjustments in the current period due to the resolution of the IRS audit for taxable years ended September 30, 2010 and 2011 and the recognition of a tax benefit related to the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion. | |
The Company's U.S. Federal income tax returns for the tax year ended September 30, 2011 and prior years have been audited by the IRS and are closed to further adjustments by the IRS. ARINC is currently not under audit by the IRS for any open tax year and is cleared to further adjustments for all tax years ended December 31, 2009 and prior, with the exception of the research and development credits claimed for 2009. The Company and ARINC are also currently under audit in various U.S. states and non-U.S. jurisdictions. The U.S. state and non-U.S. jurisdictions have statutes of limitations generally ranging from 3 to 5 years. The Company believes it has adequately provided for any tax adjustments that may result from the various audits. | |
The Company had net income tax payments of $114 million and $45 million during the six months ended March 31 2014 and 2013, respectively. | |
The Company has gross unrecognized tax benefits recorded within Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of $43 million and $56 million as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate were $21 million and $34 million as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur in the range of $0 to $2 million based on the outcome of tax examinations or as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. | |
The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The total amount of interest and penalties recognized within Other Liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $4 million and $2 million as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively. The total amount of interest and penalties recorded as an expense or (income) within Income tax expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was $0 and $0 for the six months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. |

Fair Value Measurements | ||||||||||||||||
The FASB defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The FASB’s guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: | ||||||||||||||||
Level 1 - | quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |||||||||||||||
Level 2 - | quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument | |||||||||||||||
Level 3 - | unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value | |||||||||||||||
A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. | ||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013 are as follows: | ||||||||||||||||

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents and the commercial paper portion of the short-term debt approximates their carrying value due to the short-term nature of the instruments. These items are within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair value information for the 2013 Notes, which were classified as short-term debt at September 30, 2013, and fair value information for all long-term debt is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of these financial instruments were based on current market interest rates and estimates of current market conditions for instruments with similar terms, maturities and degree of risk. The carrying amount and fair value of short-term and long-term debt excludes the interest rate swaps fair value adjustment. These fair value estimates do not necessarily reflect the amounts the Company would realize in a current market exchange. |

Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company manages its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and variable rate debt, which over time should moderate the costs of debt financing. When considered necessary, the Company may use financial instruments in the form of interest rate swaps to help meet this objective. In March 2014, the Company entered into three interest rate swap contracts (the 2023 Swaps) which expire on December 15, 2023 and effectively converted $200 million of the 2023 Notes to floating rate debt based on one-month LIBOR plus 0.94 percent. | ||||||||||||||||||
In January 2010, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts (the 2019 Swaps) which expire on July 15, 2019 and effectively converted $150 million of the 2019 Notes to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR plus 1.235 percent. | ||||||||||||||||||
On November 20, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts (the 2013 Swaps) which expired on December 1, 2013 and effectively converted $100 million of the 2013 Notes to floating rate debt based on six-month LIBOR less 0.075 percent. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company designated the 2013, 2019 and 2023 Swaps (the Swaps) as fair value hedges. The 2013 Swaps matured on December 1, 2013, and accordingly have no fair value at March 31, 2014. At September 30, 2013, the 2013 Swaps were recorded within Other current assets at a fair value of $1 million offset by a fair value adjustment to Short-term debt (Note 10) of $1 million. The 2019 and 2023 Swaps are recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $13 million, offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (Note 10) of $13 million at March 31, 2014. At September 30, 2013, the 2019 Swaps were recorded within Other Assets at a fair value of $15 million, offset by a fair value adjustment to Long-term Debt (Note 10) of $15 million. Cash payments or receipts between the Company and the counterparties to the Swaps are recorded as an adjustment to interest expense. | ||||||||||||||||||
Forward Starting Interest Rate Swaps | ||||||||||||||||||
In September 2013, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swap agreements with combined notional values of $200 million to effectively lock in fixed interest rates on a portion of the long-term debt it incurred in December 2013 to refinance maturing debt and to fund the acquisition of ARINC. In October 2013, the Company entered into an additional $300 million notional value of forward starting interest rate swap agreements. These forward starting interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges and were executed to hedge against the risk of potentially higher benchmark U.S. Treasury bond yields on long-term debt with maturities ranging from 2023 to 2043 and fixed interest rates ranging between 2.8150% and 3.8775%. The forward starting interest rate swaps were terminated in December 2013 concurrent with the Company's debt issuance. Upon termination, the forward starting swaps were valued at a net loss of $2 million. This net loss has been deferred within Accumulated other comprehensive losses on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and will be amortized into interest expense over the life of the corresponding debt. | ||||||||||||||||||
Foreign Currency Forward Exchange Contracts | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies which subjects the Company’s cash flows and earnings to exposure related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures arise primarily from purchases or sales of products and services from third parties and intercompany transactions. Foreign currency forward exchange contracts provide for the purchase or sale of foreign currencies at specified future dates at specified exchange rates and are used to offset changes in the fair value of certain assets or liabilities or forecasted cash flows resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, the Company had outstanding foreign currency forward exchange contracts with notional amounts of $295 million and $482 million, respectively. These notional values consist primarily of contracts for the European euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen, and are stated in U.S. dollar equivalents at spot exchange rates at the respective dates. The acquisition of ARINC had no significant impact on the Company's foreign currency forward exchange contracts. | ||||||||||||||||||

There was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings related to the ineffective portion of any hedging instruments during the six months ended March 31, 2014. In addition, there was no significant impact to the Company’s earnings when a hedged firm commitment no longer qualified as a fair value hedge or when a hedged forecasted transaction no longer qualified as a cash flow hedge during the three and six months ended March 31, 2014. | ||||||||||||||||||
The Company did not have any hedges with credit-risk-related contingent features or that required the posting of collateral as of March 31, 2014. The cash flows from derivative contracts are recorded in operating activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. | ||||||||||||||||||
Cash flow hedges are designated as fair value hedges once the underlying transaction is recorded on the balance sheet, or approximately 60 days from the maturity date of the hedge. The Company expects to reclassify approximately $0 of losses over the next 12 months. The maximum duration of a foreign currency cash flow hedge contract at March 31, 2014 was 76 months. |

Guarantees | ||||||||
The Company provides a parent company guarantee related to various obligations of its 50 percent owned joint venture, Quest Flight Training Limited (Quest). The Company has guaranteed, jointly and severally with Quadrant Group plc (Quadrant), the joint venture partner, the performance of Quest in relation to its contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence (which expires in 2030) and the performance of certain Quest subcontractors (up to $2 million). In addition, the Company has also pledged equity shares in Quest to guarantee payment by Quest of a loan agreement executed by Quest. In the event of default on this loan agreement, the lending institution can request that the trustee holding such equity shares surrender them to the lending institution in order to satisfy all amounts then outstanding under the loan agreement. As of March 31, 2014, the outstanding loan balance was approximately $4 million. Quadrant has made an identical pledge to guarantee this obligation of Quest. | ||||||||
Should Quest fail to meet its obligations under these agreements, these guarantees may become a liability of the Company. As of March 31, 2014, the Quest guarantees are not reflected on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position because the Company believes that Quest will meet all of its performance and financial obligations in relation to its contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence and the loan agreement. | ||||||||
Letters of credit | ||||||||
The Company has contingent commitments in the form of letters of credit. Outstanding letters of credit are issued by banks on the Company’s behalf to support certain contractual obligations to its customers. If the Company fails to meet these contractual obligations, these letters of credit may become liabilities of the Company. Total outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2014 were $293 million. These commitments are not reflected as liabilities on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. | ||||||||
Indemnifications | ||||||||
The Company enters into indemnifications with lenders, counterparties in transactions such as administration of employee benefit plans, for the benefit of customers for the work of subcontractors and other customary indemnifications with third parties in the normal course of business. The following are other than customary indemnifications based on the judgment of management. | ||||||||
In connection with agreements for the sale of portions of its business, the Company at times retains various liabilities of a business that relate to events occurring prior to its sale, such as tax, environmental, litigation and employment matters. The Company at times indemnifies the purchaser of a Rockwell Collins business in the event that a third party asserts a claim that relates to a liability retained by the Company. | ||||||||
The Company also provides indemnifications of varying scope and amounts to certain customers against claims of product liability or intellectual property infringement made by third parties arising from the use of Company or customer products or intellectual property. These indemnifications generally require the Company to compensate the other party for certain damages and costs incurred as a result of third party product liability or intellectual property claims arising from these transactions. | ||||||||
The amount the Company could be required to pay under its indemnification agreements is generally limited based on amounts specified in the underlying agreements, or in the case of some agreements, the maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required is not limited. When a potential claim is asserted under these agreements, the Company considers such factors as the degree of probability of an unfavorable outcome and the ability to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of loss. A liability is recorded when a potential claim is both probable and estimable. The nature of these agreements prevents the Company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount it could be required to pay should counterparties to these agreements assert a claim; however, the Company currently has no material claims pending related to such agreements. |

In addition, lawsuits, claims and proceedings have been asserted on occasion against the Company alleging violations of environmental protection regulations, or seeking remediation of alleged environmental impairments, principally at previously owned or leased properties. As of March 31, 2014, the Company is involved in the investigation or remediation of ten sites under these regulations or pursuant to lawsuits asserted by third parties. Management estimates that the total reasonably possible future costs the Company could incur for nine of these sites is not significant. Management estimates that the total reasonably possible future costs the Company could incur from one of these sites to be approximately $12 million. Environmental reserves for this site were $6 million and $6 million as of March 31, 2014 and September 30, 2013, respectively, which represents management’s best estimate of the probable future cost for this site. | |
To date, compliance with environmental regulations and resolution of environmental claims has been accomplished without material effect on the Company’s liquidity and capital resources, competitive position or financial condition. Management believes that expenditures for environmental capital investment and remediation necessary to comply with present regulations governing environmental protection and other expenditures for the resolution of environmental claims will not have a material effect on the Company’s business or financial position. |

During the year ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded restructuring and asset impairment charges, net totaling $58 million. Included in this charge was $35 million related to employee severance costs, primarily resulting from decisions to realign the Company's European organizational structure to better position the business for long-term growth and to adjust the size of the workforce in anticipation of the sequestration impacts on the U.S. defense budgets. Through March 31, 2014, the Company has made cash severance payments of approximately $26 million. As of March 31, 2014, $9 million of employee separation costs related to the 2012 action remains to be paid in future periods. |

(1) During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred $3 million of bridge facility fees related to the acquisition of ARINC. These costs are included in Interest expense; therefore total transaction costs related to the acquisition of ARINC during the period were $16 million. At March 31, 2014, $3 million of transaction costs were unpaid and included in Accounts payable on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. | |||||||||||||||||
Beginning in the first quarter of 2014, the Company created a new Information Management Services segment. This segment combines the retained portion of the newly acquired ARINC business with the Company's existing flight services business, which had previously been included in the Commercial Systems segment. Prior period results of the Commercial Systems and Information Management Services segments have been revised to conform to the current year presentation. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based upon, among other considerations, segment operating earnings. The Company's definition of segment operating earnings excludes income taxes, stock-based compensation, unallocated general corporate expenses, interest expense, gains and losses from the disposition of businesses, restructuring and asset impairment charges, and other special items as identified by management from time to time. Intersegment sales are not material and have been eliminated. | |||||||||||||||||

Preproduction Design and Development Costs Policy | ' |
The Company defers certain pre-production engineering costs during the development phase of a program in connection with long-term supply arrangements that contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement from customers. Such customer guarantees generally take the form of a minimum order quantity with quantified reimbursement amounts if the minimum order quantity is not taken by the customer. These costs are deferred to the extent of the contractual guarantees and are amortized over their estimated useful lives using a units-of-delivery method, up to 15 years. This amortization expense is included as a component of cost of sales. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis and begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. The estimated useful life is limited to the amount of time the Company is virtually assured to earn revenues through a contractually enforceable right included in long-term supply arrangements with the Company’s customers. Pre-production engineering costs incurred pursuant to supply arrangements that do not contain contractual guarantees for reimbursement are expensed as incurred. | |
Customer Incentives, Policy | ' |
Rockwell Collins provides up-front sales incentives prior to delivering products or performing services to certain commercial customers in connection with sales contracts. Up-front sales incentives are recorded as a Customer relationship intangible asset and are amortized using a units-of-delivery method over the period the Company has received a contractually enforceable right related to the incentives, up to 15 years. Amortization is based on the Company’s expectation of delivery rates on a program-by-program basis. Amortization begins when the Company starts recognizing revenue as the Company delivers equipment for the program. Up-front sales incentives consisting of cash payments or customer account credits are amortized as a reduction of sales, whereas incentives consisting of free products are amortized as cost of sales. |

(1) Option-holders of ARINC were due approximately $61 million at the transaction closing date. This payment did not clear until December 24, 2013.
