Exhibit 99.1
ORBITAL ATK ANNOUNCES THIRD CALENDAR QUARTER 2015 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Company Reports Revenues of $1.13 Billion, Adjusted Earnings Per Share of $1.35 and Free Cash Flow of $115 Million in the Quarter

New Business Bookings of $2.9 Billion Boost Total Backlog to $13.8 Billion
Dulles, Virginia 27 October 2015 -- Orbital ATK, Inc. (NYSE: OA), a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies, today announced both GAAP and adjusted financial results for the third calendar quarter ended October 4, 2015. In addition to GAAP results, the company is presenting adjusted results because it believes these non-GAAP metrics are useful to understand the underlying operating performance of the company by including the pre-merger Orbital and ATK Aerospace and Defense results in comparable periods and excluding significant transaction and merger-related expenses and other non-operational expenses in all periods (for details see reconciliation tables at the end of this release).

Orbital ATK reported adjusted revenues of $1,135 million in the third quarter of 2015 compared to adjusted revenues of $1,112 million in the comparable period of 2014. Adjusted operating income and profit margin were $134.9 million and 11.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2015, compared to $120.5 million and 10.8%, respectively, in the same quarter of 2014. Adjusted earnings per share in the quarter were $1.35, compared to $1.15 in the same period of 2014. Adjusted free cash flow was $114.7 million in the quarter ended October 4, 2015.

The company reported GAAP revenues of $1,135 million for the third quarter of 2015 compared to $743 million in the same quarter in 2014. GAAP operating income and profit margin were $123.9 million and 10.9%, respectively, in the quarter compared to operating income from continuing operations and profit margin of $80.2 million and 10.8%, respectively, in the same period last year. The company reported GAAP earnings per diluted share of $1.12 in the 2015 third quarter compared to earnings per diluted share of $1.29 in the 2014 third quarter. Free cash flow was $113.8 million in the quarter ended October 4, 2015.
________
The adjusted financial results contained in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures and are adjusted to give effect to the merger of Orbital Sciences Corporation (Orbital) and Alliant Techsystems Inc. (ATK) on February 9, 2015 as if it had occurred on January 1, 2014. In addition, adjusted results exclude significant transaction and merger-related expenses and other non-operational expenses in all periods. Please refer to the reconciliation tables contained in the “Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this press release for more details on those adjustments.

“Orbital ATK's third quarter was a period of solid progress for the company on multiple fronts,” said David W. Thompson, Orbital ATK’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition to better-than-expected financial results, we also booked near-record new orders that included several large and strategically important contracts, such as our first major synergy-enabled win. The company also continued its outstanding execution on our existing major programs. Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, we anticipate another period of robust new order activity and operational milestones, including our next cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station for NASA.”

For the first nine months of calendar year 2015, the company reported adjusted revenues of $3,381 million, adjusted operating income and profit margin of $383.1 million and 11.3%, respectively, adjusted earnings per share of $3.77 and adjusted free cash flow of $167.9 million.

Adjusted results. See reconciliation tables in the "Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section for details.

Revenues increased $23 million, or 2.0%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to adjusted revenues in the same period in 2014, driven by an $89 million increase in Space Systems Group (SSG) revenues and a $9 million decrease in corporate eliminations. These revenue increases were partially offset by a $41 million decrease in Flight Systems Group (FSG) revenues and a $34 million decrease in Defense Systems Group (DSG) revenues.

Operating income increased $14.4 million, or 11.9%, in the third quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in 2014 as a result of an $18.6 million increase in SSG and a $3.6 million increase in corporate income, which were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in FSG and a $7.6 million decrease in DSG income.

The increases in net income and earnings per share in the 2015 third quarter as compared to the same period last year were attributable to the improvement in adjusted operating income results.  Net income and earnings per share for both quarters reflect an income tax rate of 33.2% for the third quarter of 2015 and an income tax rate of 34.0% for the third quarter of 2014.

“In the third quarter, Orbital ATK’s financial results were solid, highlighted by strong growth in the Space Systems Group,” said Garrett E. Pierce, the company’s Chief Financial Officer.  “In addition, we recently completed an important refinancing of the company’s debt structure and credit facility which significantly improves our capital structure. We also continued to execute our capital allocation plan by deploying $36 million toward share repurchases and paying about $15 million in dividends in the quarter.”

Adjusted Segment Results

Orbital ATK conducts its operations in three business units: Flight Systems Group, Defense Systems Group and Space Systems Group. Each of these groups in turn consists of several product-line divisions. Segment operating results include pension expense recoverable under U.S. Government contracts as determined in accordance with government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The difference between pension expense recorded in accordance with GAAP Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) and pension costs recorded in accordance with CAS is reported at the corporate level. The amortization of intangible assets recorded in connection with the merger of Orbital and ATK is also reported in corporate results. All financial measures discussed below are non-GAAP adjusted financial results.

the first nine months of 2015, the company repurchased approximately $61 million of its stock and paid dividends of approximately $41 million.

Operational Highlights

Orbital ATK’s strong operational execution led to the achievement of numerous milestones in the quarter. These included the following important events:

In the Flight Systems Group, on-schedule progress continued on the integration of the new main stage propulsion system for the Antares rocket. Repairs to the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport launch pad were completed and system testing is now underway in preparation for the resumption of cargo delivery missions from Wallops Island in 2016. Additionally, Orbital ATK carried out two successful flights of its Coyote naval target missile and supported several successful customer launches with propulsion systems and composite structures, including a Minuteman III missile for the Air Force and three ULA operations including two Atlas V and one Delta IV space launch vehicles. The company also reached production milestones in its aerospace structures division, including the production of the 50,000th composite part for the Airbus A350 program and the delivery of its 500th part for the Boeing 787 program.
In the Defense Systems Group, the company delivered more than 6,400 tactical missile rocket motors, warheads and related products, and approximately 300 million rounds of small- and medium-caliber ammunition in the third quarter. The company’s Precision Guidance Kit program achieved 100% successful testing results and made its first delivery to an international customer. The AARGM tactical missile program reached a production rate of 15 units per month and scored a direct operational hit against a mobile target using upgraded guidance software during the quarter. The company also successfully tested a new scramjet engine combustor that was built through an additive manufacturing process.
In the Space Systems Group, two company-built GSSAP satellites entered operational service for the U.S. Air Force during the third quarter in support of a program to enhance space situational awareness in geosynchronous orbit.  In addition, final testing of the Thaicom-8 commercial communications satellite progressed toward delivery by the end of the year. Orbital ATK also carried out eight successful research rocket and scientific balloon missions in the quarter. The company’s next cargo delivery mission to the International Space Station for NASA remains on schedule for an early December launch aboard an Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Cygnus spacecraft for this mission completed testing

in the quarter and was recently delivered to the launch site and is now being prepared for the upcoming mission.

Commenting on third quarter 2015 operations, Chief Operating Officer Blake E. Larson said, “Our operational performance in the third quarter was excellent, with noteworthy progress on several major programs, including remaining on-schedule for the upcoming Cygnus cargo delivery mission due for launch in early December. The Antares team is moving forward with the integration of the new main stage propulsion system, and all of the hardware needed for the next Antares launch in the spring of 2016 is now on site at Wallops Island. In addition, we saw continued progress in the quarter on the simultaneous ramp-up of several programs in the aerospace structures division, and a higher production rate of commercial small caliber ammunition. We also remain intensely focused on achieving our merger-related cost synergies, which continues on a path to meet or exceed our initial targets.”
 
New Business Summary

In the third quarter of 2015, Orbital ATK recorded approximately $2,810 million in new firm and option contract bookings. In addition, the company received approximately $70 million in option exercises under existing contracts. As of October 4, 2015, the company’s firm backlog was approximately $8.70 billion and its total backlog (including options, indefinite quantity contract and undefinitized orders) was approximately $13.82 billion.
 
Adjusted Calendar Year 2015 Financial Guidance

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We define free cash flow as GAAP (U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures for property, plant and equipment. Management believes that the company’s presentation of free cash flow is useful because it provides investors with an important perspective on the company’s liquidity, financial flexibility and ability to fund operations and service debt.

The adjusted financial results contained in this press release are non-GAAP financial measures adjusted to give effect to the merger of Orbital and ATK in all periods and adjust for the impact of costs and expenses itemized in the tables below. In addition, the adjusted results reflect estimates of interest expense, the income tax rate and
