FALLS CHURCH, Va. – July 27, 2016 – Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) reported second quarter 2016 sales of $6.0 billion, a 2 percent increase over sales of $5.9 billion in the second quarter of 2015.

In July 2016, the U.S. Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation approved a resolution of the IRS examination of the company’s 2007-2011 tax returns. The resolution will reduce third quarter 2016 income tax expense by approximately $40 million or $0.20 per share. Guidance for the company's 2016 effective tax rate and diluted earnings per share reflect the third quarter 2016 tax benefit.
Estimated capital expenditures in 2016 reflect increased programmatic requirements and $239 million for the purchase of Mission Systems facilities. These investments support the company's continued focus on cost reduction, affordability and competitiveness.

Schedule 4 provides annual segment information in the realigned structure for years 2013-2015 and quarterly information for 2015.
Second quarter 2016 operating income declined 2 percent due to lower segment operating income and lower net FAS/CAS pension adjustment, partially offset by lower corporate unallocated expenses. Second quarter segment operating income was $11 million lower than the prior year period. Segment operating margin rate declined to 12.2 percent due to lower margin rates at Aerospace Systems and Mission Systems, partially offset by a higher margin rate at Technology Services.
For the second quarter of 2016, federal and foreign income tax expense increased to $213 million from $205 million in 2015; the company's effective tax rate increased to 29.2 percent from 27.9 percent. Last year’s second quarter reflects $21 million more in tax benefits for research credits due to claims filed for prior tax years.

Aerospace Systems second quarter 2016 sales increased 4 percent due to higher volume for Manned Aircraft and Autonomous Systems programs, partially offset by lower volume for Space programs. Manned Aircraft sales rose due to higher restricted volume and higher F-35 deliveries, partially offset by fewer F/A-18 deliveries and lower volume on the B-2 program. Autonomous Systems sales rose due to higher volume on the Global Hawk and Triton programs, partially offset by lower volume due to the ramp down on the NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance program. Space sales declined due to lower volume on the Advanced Extremely High Frequency and the James Webb Space Telescope programs, partially offset by higher restricted volume.
Aerospace Systems second quarter 2016 operating income decreased 2 percent and operating margin rate declined to 12.0 percent. Operating income and margin rate reflect lower margins in Manned Aircraft due to changes in contract mix and the timing of risk retirements, partially offset by improved performance on Space programs.

Mission Systems second quarter 2016 sales increased 2 percent due to higher volume for Advanced Capabilities programs, as well as Sensors and Processing programs. Higher Advanced Capabilities sales include higher restricted volume, as well as ramp-up on several navigation and maritime programs, including SEWIP Block III. Sensors and Processing sales increased due to ramp-up on the G/ATOR and JCREW programs. These increases were partially offset by lower volume on international and combat avionics programs.
Mission Systems second quarter 2016 operating income increased 1 percent due to higher sales volume, and operating margin rate declined to 13.0 percent due to changes in contract mix on Sensors and Processing programs.

Technology Services second quarter 2016 sales decreased 2 percent primarily due to lower volume for Advanced Defense Services programs, partially offset by higher volume on Global Logistics and Modernization programs. Advanced Defense Services sales declined primarily due to several program completions in 2015. The increase in Global Logistics and Modernization sales reflects higher volume on the KC-10 program, partially offset by lower volume on the ICBM program.
Technology Services second quarter 2016 operating income increased 2 percent, and operating margin rate increased 50 basis points to 10.8 percent. Higher operating income and margin rate reflect improved performance.

Northrop Grumman Reports Second Quarter 2016 Financial Results
14


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 (Securities and Exchange Commission) Regulation G and indicated by a footnote in the text of the release. While the company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating our financial information, they should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Definitions are provided for the non-GAAP measures and reconciliations are provided in the body of the release. References to a “Table” in the definitions below relate to tables in the body of this earnings release. Other companies may define these measures differently or may utilize different non-GAAP measures.
Free cash flow: Net cash provided by (used in) 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 should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to operating results presented in accordance with GAAP. Free cash flow is reconciled in Table 2.
Pension-adjusted metrics: For financial statement purposes, we account for our employee pension plans in accordance with GAAP under FAS (GAAP Financial Accounting Standards). However, the cost of these plans is charged to our contracts in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the related U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) that govern such plans. We present each of the following pension-adjusted metrics to reflect the company’s performance based upon the pension costs charged to our contracts. We use pension-adjusted metrics as internal measures of financial performance and for performance-based compensation decisions.
Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment: The difference between pension expense charged to contracts and included as cost in segment operating income in accordance with CAS and pension expense determined in accordance with FAS. Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment is presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating income: Operating income before the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment as defined above. Pension-adjusted operating income is reconciled in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating margin rate: Pension-adjusted operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Pension-adjusted operating margin rate is reconciled in Table 1.
Pre-tax net pension adjustment per share: The per share impact, before tax, of the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment as defined above. Pre-tax net pension adjustment per share is presented in Table 1.
After-tax net pension adjustment per share: The per share impact, after tax at the statutory rate of 35 percent, of the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment as defined above. After-tax net pension adjustment per share is presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted diluted EPS: Diluted EPS excluding the after-tax net pension adjustment per share as defined above. Pension-adjusted diluted EPS is reconciled in Table 1.
Segment operating income: Total earnings from our three segments including allocated pension expense recognized under CAS. Reconciling items to operating income include the net FAS/CAS pension adjustment, as defined above, as well as certain corporate-level expenses, which are not considered allowable or allocable under applicable CAS or FAR. Management uses segment operating income, as reconciled in Table 3, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Segment operating margin rate: Segment operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Management uses segment operating margin rate, as reconciled in Table 3, as an internal measure of financial performance.
