     “Solid sales increases for all four businesses drove nearly double-digit sales growth for the quarter. Operating income and margin rates for all four businesses are in line with our expectations. Based on this quarter’s solid performance and our $67 billion total backlog, we are on track to achieve our 2008 guidance. The long-term outlook for Northrop Grumman continues to be outstanding,” said Ronald D. Sugar, Northrop Grumman chairman and chief executive officer.
     Operating income for the 2008 second quarter increased 6 percent to $806 million from $763 million in the 2007 second quarter. The increase in operating income reflects higher sales volume, lower corporate unallocated expenses, and improved net pension expense, offset by lower segment operating income. Second quarter 2008 segment operating income declined by $14 million principally due to lower operating income and margin rates for the Shipbuilding and Information & Services businesses than in the prior year period.
     Interest expense improved by $11 million compared with the prior year period and other income improved by $14 million.
      Federal and foreign income taxes for the 2008 second quarter increased to $256 million from $199 million in the second quarter of 2007. The effective tax rate applied to income from continuing operations for the 2008 second quarter was 34.6 percent compared with 29.7 percent in the 2007 second quarter. In the 2007 second quarter the company recognized tax benefits totaling $16 million after reaching a favorable settlement with the Internal Revenue Service regarding a portion of its audit for the years 2001 through 2003.
     Net earnings for the 2008 second quarter increased 8 percent to $495 million, or $1.44 per diluted share, from $460 million, or $1.31 per diluted share, for the same period of 2007. Second quarter 2008 net earnings include a small after-tax gain on the sale of the company’s Electro-Optical Systems business. Earnings per share are based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 344.1 million for the second quarter of 2008 and 355.3 million for the second quarter of 2007. Weighted average shares outstanding for the 2007 second quarter include the dilutive effect of 6.4 million shares of the company’s mandatorily redeemable convertible preferred stock. These shares were redeemed or converted to common shares on or before April 4, 2008.
     New business awards totaled $7.5 billion in the 2008 second quarter. Total backlog, which includes funded backlog and firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer, was $66.9 billion as of June 30, 2008.

     Electronics second quarter 2008 operating income increased 7 percent, and as a percent of sales, increased to 12.1 percent from 11.6 percent. Second quarter 2008 operating income reflects higher volume and includes a $20 million charge for the company’s Wedgetail MESA radar program associated with the program risks arising from the prime contractor’s announced schedule delay in completing the program. Operating income for the 2007 second quarter included a $27 million negative contract earnings adjustment for the F-16 Block 60 fixed price development program.

     Shipbuilding second quarter 2008 sales increased 24 percent from the prior year due to higher volume for expeditionary warfare, surface combatant, aircraft carrier and fleet support programs, including the LPD, LHD, Ford-class aircraft carrier, and USS Enterprise programs. The increase in fleet support reflects revenue from the July 2007 reorganization of AMSEC. The increase also reflects lower volume in the 2007 second quarter due to a labor strike.
     Shipbuilding second quarter 2008 operating income declined 6 percent from the prior year period, and as a percent of sales, totaled 7.5 percent compared with 9.9 percent in the prior year period. The decline in operating income and margin rate reflects additional costs for schedule impacts to several shipbuilding programs as a result of resource constraints caused by the previously announced delay in production on the LHD 8. Second quarter 2007 operating income included a $62 million insurance recovery and a $55 million negative contract adjustment on the LHD 8 program.
Second Quarter Highlights

CONTRACT AWARDS
The estimated value of new contract awards during the six months ended June 30, 2008, is approximately $19.6 billion. Significant new awards during this period include $1.5 billion for the aerial refueling tanker replacement program (see below), $1.4 billion for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer, $1.2 billion for the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System program (see below), $596 million for the CVN 78 Ford-class aircraft carrier, $241 million for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) program, $227 million for the Vehicular Intercommunications Systems Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity program, and $195 million for the Large Aircraft Infrared Counter-measures Indefinite Delivery and Indefinite Quantity program.
On February 29, 2008, the company won a $1.5 billion contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force as an initial step to replace its aerial refueling tanker fleet. The losing bidder for the contract protested the award decision by the U.S. Air Force. A review of the award process was conducted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), which issued its report on June 18, 2008 upholding the other bidder’s protest. On July 9, 2008, the Secretary of Defense announced that the DoD intends to reopen the bidding for the contract to address certain findings identified by the GAO in its report. The company continues to carry the award in its backlog as of June 30, 2008.
On April 22, 2008, the company was awarded a contract by the U.S. Navy for the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aircraft System. One of the other bidders for the contract subsequently protested the decision by the U.S. Navy to award the contract to the company. The GAO is currently reviewing the protest and is expected to reach its decision in August 2008.
The estimated value of new contract awards during the six months ended June 30, 2007, is approximately $14.4 billion. Significant new awards during this period include $2.2 billion for LHA-6, $875 million for the Flats Sequencing System program, $510 million for the DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer program, $270 million for the ICBM program, $223 million for the F-22 program, and $185 million for the Joint National Integration Center Research & Development program.
