--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- 6 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) Principles of Consolidation - --------------------------- The financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries except for two insurance subsidiaries. The wholly-owned insurance subsidiaries and the majority of investments in affiliated companies, which are not significant individually or in the aggregate, are accounted for by the equity method. Environmental Costs - ------------------- During the first quarter of 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 96-1, Environmental Remediation Liabilities. There was no financial statement effect of the adoption as the Company's previous method of accounting for environmental costs was in accordance with SOP 96-1. Discontinued Operations - ----------------------- In September 1996, the Company sold substantially all of the businesses of its Information Systems and Services segment. Net proceeds of approximately $965 million in cash resulted in a gain of $468 million ($242 million after tax, $1.82 per share). The financial statements reflect as discontinued operations for all periods presented that segment's operating results as well as the related transaction gain. Sales of the discontinued operations were $140 million and $453 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively. Special Charges - --------------- In the third quarter of 1996, the Company recorded a before-tax charge of $365 million ($233 million after tax or $1.76 per share) for actions taken in the automotive and space and defense businesses. The components of the charge included plant closure and severance costs of $102 million, contract reserves of $99 million, litigation and warranty expenses of $94 million, asset write-downs of $53 million and other items of $17 million. 7 The charges are included in the Statement of Earnings for 1996 as follows: $289 million included in cost of sales; $18 million included in interest expense; and $58 million included in other(income) expense-net. Acquisition - ----------- In February 1997, the Company completed its purchase of an eighty percent equity interest in the air bag and steering wheel business of Magna International. The purchase price of approximately $450 million has been tentatively allocated to the net assets acquired based on their fair values. Inventories - ----------- Inventories consist of the following: (In millions) September 30 December 31 1997 1996 ---- ---- Finished products and work in process $300 $295 Raw materials and supplies 278 229 --- --- $578 $524 === === Long-Term Liabilities - --------------------- Long-term liabilities at September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, include $654 million and $681 million, respectively, relating to postretirement benefits other than pensions. Other (Income)Expense-Net - ------------------------- Other (income)expense included the following: (In millions) Third quarter ended Nine months ended September 30 September 30 1997 1996 1997 1996 ----------------- ----------------- ------------- ------------- Other income $ (19) $ (17) $ (47) $ (36) Other expense 18 73 48 104 Foreign currency translation 1 1 5 4 ---- ---- --- ---- $ - $ 57 $ 6 $ 72 ==== ===== === ===== Other expense for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 includes expenses related to the settlement of a lawsuit. 8 Earnings Per Share - ------------------ Fully diluted earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period, including common stock equivalents and assuming the conversion of the Serial Preference Stock II--Series 1 and 3. Primary earnings per share have been computed based on the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during each period including common stock equivalents. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. There is an immaterial impact of Statement No. 128 on the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 and 1996. In April 1997, the number of authorized shares of TRW Common Stock was increased from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares. Supplemental Cash Flow Information - ---------------------------------- Nine months ended (In millions) September 30 ---------------------------------- 1997 1996 ---- ---- Interest paid (net of amount capitalized) $56 $ 75 Income taxes paid (net of refunds) $36 $214 For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other Contingencies - ------------------- During 1996, the Company was advised by the Department of Justice ("DOJ") that it had been named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by a former employee and filed under seal in 1994 and 1995, respectively, in the United States District Court for the Central District of California under the QUI TAM provisions of the civil False Claims Act. The Act permits an individual to bring suit in the name of the United States and share in any recovery. The allegations in the lawsuit relate to the classification of costs incurred by the Company that were charged 9 to certain of its federal contracts. Under the law, the government must investigate the allegations and determine whether it wishes to intervene and take responsibility for the lawsuits. The actions remain under seal until the government completes its investigations and determines whether to intervene. However, permission from the court has been obtained by the Company to make the disclosures contained herein. The Company is cooperating with the DOJ's investigation and is engaged in ongoing discussions with them regarding the allegations. The Company cannot presently predict the outcome of these matters, although management believes that the Company would have meritorious defenses if either the government decides to pursue the lawsuits or the former employee decides to do so without government participation. TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. ("VSSI") has reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste law at its Queen Creek, Arizona facility for failure properly to label and dispose of waste water that might be classified as hazardous waste. ADEQ is conducting an investigation into these potential violations and VSSI is cooperating with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings against VSSI with respect to such matters, VSSI could be liable for penalties and fines and other relief. Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of possible liability at this time. Interim Statements - ------------------ The financial statements are based in part on approximations and are subject to adjustments that may develop, such as unsettled contract and renegotiation matters and matters that arise in connection with the annual audit of the financial statements; however, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included. Results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 10 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition ----------------------------------------------------------- and Results of Operations ------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (In millions except per share data) Nine Months Ended Third Quarter September 30 ------------------------------ --------------------------- 1997 1996 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- ---- Sales $2,521 $2,320 $8,033 $7,406 Operating profit (loss) $ 213 $ (153) $ 720 $ 281 Earnings (loss) from continuing operations $ 108 $ (146) $ 362 $ 73 Earnings from discontinued operations - $ 252 - $ 280 Fully diluted earnings per share $ .85 $ .79 $ 2.82 $ 2.63 Effective tax rate on continuing operations 34.4% 33.0% 37.5% 45.9% The increase in sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 was primarily due to the sales contribution from acquisitions and from higher volume in the Automotive and Space and Defense segments. The sales increase was moderated by the effect of a strong U.S. dollar. The higher operating profit was due to the acquisitions, continued cost-reduction efforts, and profit from the higher sales volume in the Automotive and Space and Defense segments, partially offset by the effect of lower pricing in the Automotive segment. Operating profit (loss) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 included a before-tax charge of $344 million for actions taken in the automotive and space and defense businesses. See "Special Charges" note in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. Operating profit for the first nine months of 1996 included a $15 million before tax charge related to the initial application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. Earnings(loss) from continuing operations for the first nine months of 1996 included a $12 million benefit from an insurance claim settlement primarily related to previously divested businesses, offset by a $13 million noncash charge related to the initial application of SFAS No. 121. 11 Earnings from discontinued operations includes the earnings from operations and the gain on the third quarter sale of substantially all of the businesses in the Information Systems and Services segment. See the "Discontinued Operations" note in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. Interest expense was $57 million for the first nine months of 1997 compared to $76 million for the first nine months of 1996. Third quarter 1996 interest expense included $18 million related to the interest component of a litigation settlement. The reduction in the third quarter effective tax rate was primarily attributable to federal and state tax incentives and the tax benefit from the realignment of certain foreign operations. Automotive (In millions) Nine Months Ended Third Quarter September 30 ------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------- Percent Percent 1997 1996 Inc(Dec) 1997 1996 Inc(Dec) ---- ---- -------- ---- ---- -------- Sales $1,570 $1,500 5% $5,239 $4,881 7% Operating profit (loss)as reported $ 136 $ (105) $ 485 $ 205 Special charges - $ 235 - $ 235 -------- ----- -------- ----- Adjusted operating profit $ 136 $ 130 5% $ 485 $ 440 10% The increase in sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 was primarily due to the sales contribution from the acquisitions of airbag and steering wheel operations and from higher volume in the air bag, seat belt, steering and engine component businesses. The sales increase was moderated by the effect of a strong U.S. dollar, as well as lower pricing. The higher operating profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 resulted from the acquisitions, higher sales volume, and continued cost-reduction efforts, partially offset by the effect of lower pricing and the effect of a strong U.S. dollar. Operating profit for the first nine months of 1996 included a $15 million before-tax charge related to the initial adoption of SFAS No. 121. 12 Special charges recorded during the third quarter of 1996 related to reconfiguration of manufacturing plants, litigation and warranty expenses and asset write-downs. See "Special Charges" note in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. Space & Defense (In millions) Nine Months Ended Third Quarter September 30 --------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------- Percent Percent 1997 1996 Inc (Dec) 1997 1996 Inc (Dec) ---- ---- --------- ---- ---- --------- Sales $951 $820 16% $2,794 $2,525 11% Operating profit (loss) $ 77 $(48) 260% $ 235 $ 76 209% Sales and operating profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 1997 increased primarily due to the successful conversion of recent contract awards into revenue growth as well as strong ongoing program performance. Operating profit(loss) for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996 includes charges for certain contract reserves. Excluding these charges, operating profit was $61 million and $185 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 1996, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION In the first nine months of 1997, cash flow provided by operating activities of $522 million, a net increase in debt of $328 million, and a net decrease of $6 million in other items were used to fund business acquisitions of $415 million, capital expenditures of $361 million, reacquisition of common stock of $202 million, and dividend payments of $116 million. As a result, cash and cash equivalents decreased by $250 million. Net debt (short-term debt, the current portion of long-term debt and long-term debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $829 million at September 30, 1997, compared to $196 million at December 31, 1996. The ratio of net debt to total capital (net debt, minority interests and shareholders' investment) at September 30, 1997 was 26 percent compared to 8 percent at December 31, 1996. 13 During the first nine months of 1997, the Company issued $80 million in medium-term notes under its shelf registration statements. The notes were used to refinance short-term debt. After this issuance, $420 million remains available for borrowing under the Company's shelf registration statements. During the first nine months of 1997, the Company amended the terms of its U.S. and multicurrency revolving credit agreements to extend the expiration date of the agreements from July 1, 2001 to July 1, 2002. Also, one additional bank joined the bank group providing the U.S. revolving credit agreement and one additional bank joined the bank group providing the multicurrency revolving credit agreement. During the first nine months of 1997, 3.8 million shares of TRW Common Stock were repurchased for approximately $202 million. Implementation of the Odyssey program has gone more slowly than anticipated, due to the delays in attracting the necessary financial investors. However, we are continuing to explore a variety of options, including attracting new investors, and are considering strategic alternatives for capitalizing on our technology. Management believes that funds generated from operations and existing borrowing capacity will be adequate to fund the Company's current share repurchase program and to support and finance planned growth, capital expenditures, company-sponsored research and development programs and dividends payments to shareholders. OTHER MATTERS During 1996, the Company was advised by the Department of Justice that it had been named as a defendant in two lawsuits brought by a former employee and filed under seal under the QUI TAM provisions of the civil False Claims Act. See "Other Contingencies" note in the Notes to Financial Statements for further information. TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. ("VSSI") has reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste law at its Queen Creek, Arizona facility for failure properly to label and dispose of waste water that might be classified as hazardous waste. ADEQ is conducting an investigation into these potential violations and VSSI is cooperating with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings against VSSI with respect to such matters, VSSI could 14 be liable for penalties and fines and other relief. Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of possible liability at this time. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Statements in this filing that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, which involve risks and uncertainties that could affect the Company's actual results. Information regarding the important factors that could cause TRW's actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this filing can be found in TRW's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including TRW's Form 8-K filed on May 20, 1997. 15 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. ------------------ On July 21, 1997, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") issued a notice of violation to the Company under the Clean Air Act with respect to air emissions at the former Izumi Industries, Corporation, Inc. facility in Yaphank, New York. TRW acquired this facility in November 1996. On August 15, 1997, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ("DEC") commenced an administrative enforcement action against the Company under the New York Environmental Conservation Law with respect to such emissions. On September 11, 1997, the Company agreed to an Order of Consent with the DEC, pursuant to which the Company has paid a $300,000 civil penalty to the DEC and has initiated certain specified actions to bring the facility into compliance with applicable regulatory standards relating to air emissions. These matters are not expected to have a material effect on TRW's financial position. TRW is seeking reimbursement from Izumi Industries, Corporation, Inc. for the costs arising from such Order of Consent. TRW Vehicle Safety Systems Inc. ("VSSI") has reported to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") potential violations of the Arizona hazardous waste law at its Queen Creek, Arizona facility for failure properly to label and dispose of waste water that might be classified as hazardous waste. ADEQ is conducting an investigation into these potential violations and VSSI is cooperating with the investigation. If ADEQ initiates proceedings against VSSI with respect to such matters, VSSI could be liable for penalties and fines and other relief. Management is unable to make a meaningful estimate of the amount or range of possible liability at this time. Item 6.
