Year-to-Date Results
Net sales for the first six months of 2004 were $17.1 billion, a 16% increase over the $14.8 billion recorded in the comparable 2003 period.
Net earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $587 million ($1.31 per share) compared to $492 million ($1.09 per share) in 2003. The 2003 results included a pre-tax charge of $41 million (reported in Unallocated Corporate Expense, net) related to the Corporation's exit from the commercial mail sorting business, which decreased earnings by $27 million ($0.06 per share).
Cash Flow, Leverage and Backlog
Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 was $734 million and $1.8 billion. Capital expenditures for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 were $154 million and $260 million. The Corporation repurchased 5.8 million of its common shares for $278 million during the quarter and retired $137 million of debt during the first six months of 2004. Since October 2002, the Corporation has used approximately $800 million to repurchase 17.5 million shares of its common stock. Additionally, the Corporation has reduced its long-term debt from approximately $12 billion at the end of 1999 to approximately $6 billion at June 30, 2004.
The ratio of total debt-to-capitalization was 46% at the end of the second quarter, an improvement from 48% at December 31, 2003. At June 30, 2004, the Corporation's cash and cash equivalents balance was $2.2 billion.
The Corporation's backlog was $74.6 billion at June 30, 2004. SEGMENT RESULTS
The Corporation operates in five business segments. Consistent with the manner in which the Corporation's business segment operating performance is evaluated, unusual items are excluded from segment results and included in "Unallocated corporate (expense) income, net." (See our 2003 Form 10-K for a description of "Unallocated corporate (expense) income, net," including the FAS / CAS pension adjustment.)
The following table presents the operating results of the five business segments and the Corporation on a consolidated basis as determined by GAAP:
(In millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales Aeronautics $3,141 $2,405 $6,015 $4,493 Electronic Systems 2,205 2,174 4,338 4,155 Space Systems 1,547 1,544 3,125 3,072 Integrated Systems & Solutions 963 810 1,870 1,582 Information & Technology Services 917 772 1,769 1,459 Operating segments 8,773 7,705 17,117 14,761 Other 3 4 6 7 Total net sales $8,776 $7,709 $17,123 $14,768 Operating profit Aeronautics $239 $162 $445 $307 Electronic Systems 220 211 422 394 Space Systems 129 101 249 205 Integrated Systems & Solutions 81 67 161 139 Information & Technology Services 71 51 131 99 Segment operating profit 740 592 1,408 1,144 Unallocated corporate (expense) net: FAS/CAS pension adjustment (148) (68) (298) (140) Other (48) (54) (30) (29) Total operating profit $544 $470 $1,080 $975
The following discussion compares the operating results of the business segments for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2004 to the same periods in 2003.
Aeronautics ($ millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales $3,141 $2,405 $6,015 $4,493 Operating profit $239 $162 $445 $307
Net sales for Aeronautics increased by 31% for the quarter and 34% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods, due to growth in Combat Aircraft, which more than offset a slight decline in Air Mobility. Combat Aircraft sales growth of $790 million in the quarter and $1.5 billion for the six-month period was primarily due to higher F-16 program volume including increased aircraft deliveries (22 in the quarter and 37 for the six month period in 2004 compared to 12 and 15 in the comparable 2003 periods) and higher volume on the F-35 program. Fewer scheduled C-130J deliveries (two in the quarter and six for the six month period in 2004 compared to four and seven in the comparable 2003 periods) contributed to the slight decrease in Air Mobility revenue.
Segment operating profit increased by 48% for the quarter and 45% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. Combat Aircraft operating profit increases of $60 million in the quarter and $80 million for the six-month period were primarily due to the impact of the additional F-16 aircraft deliveries and improved performance in other Combat Aircraft programs. Air Mobility and other programs accounted for approximately $20 million and $60 million of the increase in operating profit for the quarter and year-to-date periods, and were primarily due to profits recognized on C- 130J deliveries in 2004. The Corporation began recognizing profits on C-130J deliveries in 2004 (approximately $35 million year-to-date) upon resolution of certain technical aircraft performance risks, manufacturing performance improvements and the achievement of stable production as a result of securing a multi-year contract in 2003.
Electronic Systems ($ millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales $2,205 $2,174 $4,338 $4,155 Operating profit $220 $211 $422 $394
Net sales for Electronic Systems increased by 1% for the quarter and 4% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. In both the quarter and six-month periods, higher volume in Maritime Systems & Sensors (MS2) and Missiles & Fire Control (M&FC), more than offset declines in Platform, Training & Transportation Solutions (PT&TS). In MS2, higher volume on surface systems and radar programs accounted for the increased sales. M&FC sales grew due to higher volume on tactical missile and fire control programs. Reduced levels of distribution technology and transportation & security solutions activities contributed to the decrease in sales at PT&TS.
Segment operating profit increased by 4% for the quarter and 7% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared to the 2003 periods. For both the quarter and the six-month period, improved performance on air defense and fire control programs at M&FC and on distribution technology and simulation and training programs at PT&TS, contributed to the higher operating profit. MS2's operating profit improved slightly in both periods.
Space Systems ($ millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales $1,547 $1,544 $3,125 $3,072 Operating profit $129 $101 $249 $205
Net sales for Space Systems increased nominally for the quarter and by 2% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. For the second quarter of 2004, a sales increase in Satellites, due to a commercial satellite delivery, and the timing of sales on fleet ballistic missile programs at Strategic and Defensive Missile Systems (S&DMS) were partially offset by lower volume in Launch Services. A decline in activities on the maturing Titan launch vehicle program contributed to lower sales in Launch Services. There were two Atlas launches and one Proton launch in the second quarters of both 2004 and 2003.
For the six months ended June 30, 2004, sales increases in Launch Services and S&DMS offset a decline in Satellites. In Launch Services, an increase in Atlas launches (four in 2004 compared to two in 2003) more than offset a decline in the Titan launch vehicle program. The increase in S&DMS was primarily attributable to the timing of sales on fleet ballistic missile programs. The decrease in Satellites was mainly due to lower sales on commercial satellite deliveries in 2004, which was partially offset by increased volume in government satellite programs.
Segment operating profit increased by 28% for the quarter and 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2004, when compared to the 2003 periods. For the quarter, Satellites' operating profit increased due to the additional delivery and improved performance on commercial satellite programs, which more than offset a decline due to cost growth on a government satellite program. Increased operating profit in Launch Services was due to government launch vehicles programs.
For the six-month period, Launch Services' operating profit increased primarily due to the benefit resulting from the first quarter termination of a launch vehicle contract by a commercial customer and U.S. Government support of the Atlas program, which more than offset a decline in activities on the Titan launch vehicle program. Satellites' operating profit declined due to cost growth on a government satellite program, which more than offset the impact of improved performance and more profitable deliveries in commercial satellites.
Integrated Systems & Solutions ($ millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales $963 $810 $1,870 $1,582 Operating profit $81 $67 $161 $139
Net sales for Integrated Systems & Solutions increased by 19% for the quarter and 18% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. For both the quarter and six-month periods, a higher volume of intelligence, defense and information assurance activities resulted in increased sales.
Segment operating profit increased by 21% for the quarter and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the comparable 2003 periods. For both the quarter and six-month periods, the higher volume on the activities described above accounted for the increased operating profit.
Information & Technology Services ($ millions) 2nd Quarter Year-to-Date 2004 2003 2004 2003 Net sales $917 $772 $1,769 $1,459 Operating profit $71 $51 $131 $99
Net sales for Information & Technology Services increased by 19% for the quarter and 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. For both the quarter and year-to-date periods, the increases in sales were primarily attributable to higher volume in the Information Technology line of business. Information Technology's sales improved due to the net impact of an acquisition and a divestiture, as well as organic growth on existing IT programs. The remaining increase in sales was primarily attributable to higher volume in Defense Services. NASA sales declined in both periods.
Segment operating profit increased by 39% for the quarter and 32% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from the 2003 periods. In both periods the operating profit increased mainly due to improvements in Information Technology and Defense Services.
