Second quarter 2012 segment operating income of $782 million was comparable to the prior year period, and segment operating margin rate improved by 50 basis points to 12.5 percent. Higher segment margin rate was primarily due to higher operating income at Information Systems and Technical Services.
Second quarter 2012 operating income decreased $67 million, or 8 percent, and operating margin rate totaled 12.3 percent. The change over the prior year period is principally due to a $64 million decrease in net FAS/CAS pension adjustment. On a pension-adjusted basis, operating income was comparable to the prior year period, and pension-adjusted operating margin rate expanded 50 basis points to 11.8 percent from 11.3 percent.
Second quarter 2012 net earnings totaled $480 million, or $1.88 per diluted share, compared with $520 million, or $1.81 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2011. Second quarter 2012 diluted earnings per share are based on 254.7 million weighted average shares outstanding compared with 287.2 million shares in the second quarter of 2011, an 11 percent decrease.

Cash provided by continuing operations through June 30, 2012, increased to $771 million from $78 million in the prior year, due to lower retiree benefit funding and working capital requirements than in the prior year period. In the second quarter of 2011, the company made a discretionary contribution to its pension plans that impacted cash flows by $412 million on an after-tax basis. Through June 30, 2012, trade working capital improved by $256 million from the prior year period. Free cash flow from continuing operations through June 30, 2012, totaled $639 million compared with a use of $139 million in the prior year due to the cash trends mentioned above and lower capital spending than in the prior year period.

Aerospace Systems second quarter 2012 sales declined 3 percent due to lower volume for space systems and military aircraft programs, which more than offset higher volume for advanced programs and technology and unmanned systems programs, including Fire Scout and NATO AGS. Space systems sales declined due to lower volume for restricted programs and the termination of a weather satellite program. Military aircraft sales declined due to lower program volume for the B-2 and the F-35 (due to the adoption of units-of-delivery revenue recognition beginning with low rate initial production lot 5) and fewer F/A-18 deliveries than in the prior year period. Lower volume for these military aircraft programs more than offset higher volume for the E-2D program.
Aerospace Systems second quarter 2012 operating income declined 9 percent and operating margin rate declined to 12.1 percent from 12.9 percent. The change in operating income and margin rate reflects lower volume and the F/A-18 program's transition from the multi-year 2 contract to the lower margin multi-year 3 contract, as well as a favorable adjustment in the prior year period for the restructuring of a weather satellite program.

Electronic Systems second quarter 2012 sales declined 3 percent, which reflects the company's previously announced decision to de-emphasize its domestic postal automation business. Sales were also impacted by lower volume for international postal automation and laser systems, and infrared countermeasures program transitions. Declines in these programs were partially offset by higher volume for space systems programs.
Electronic Systems second quarter 2012 operating income declined 3 percent, consistent with lower volume, with operating margin rate comparable to the prior year period at 15.8 percent.

Information Systems second quarter 2012 sales declined 9 percent due to lower volume in all three business areas. Lower defense systems volume primarily reflects the termination of the Joint Tactical Radio System Airborne, Maritime and Fixed (JTRS AMF) program and lower volume for the F-22 as that program winds down. Civil systems volume was reduced by the sale of the County of San Diego IT outsourcing contract, which contributed sales of $21 million in the 2011 second quarter. For intelligence systems, lower volume primarily due to program completions impacted sales for the quarter.
Despite lower sales, Information Systems second quarter 2012 operating income increased 7 percent and operating margin rate increased to 10.9 percent from 9.3 percent. Higher operating income and margin rate primarily reflect improved civil systems performance, which more than offset the impact of lower volume.

Technical Services second quarter 2012 sales increased 1 percent due to higher volume for integrated logistics and modernization programs. Higher volume for these programs more than offset lower volume for defense and government services programs that resulted from portfolio shaping and lower volume on the ICBM program.
Technical Services second quarter 2012 operating income increased 19 percent, and operating margin rate increased to 9.5 percent from 8.0 percent, due to risk mitigation on a defense and government services program for the Department of Homeland Security.

Northrop Grumman Reports Second Quarter 2012 Financial Results
15



Non-GAAP Financial Measures Disclosure: Today’s press 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 we believe 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 press release. Other companies may define these measures differently or may utilize different non-GAAP measures.
Pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations: Diluted EPS from continuing operations excluding the after-tax net pension adjustment per share, as defined below. These per share amounts are provided for consistency and comparability of operating results. Management uses pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations, as reconciled in Table 1, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Cash provided by (used in) continuing operations before discretionary pension contributions: Cash provided by continuing operations before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. Cash provided by continuing operations before discretionary pension contributions has been provided for consistency and comparability of 2012 and 2011 financial performance and is reconciled in Table 2.
Free cash flow provided by (used in) continuing operations: Cash provided by continuing operations less capital expenditures (including outsourcing contract & related software costs). We use free cash flow from continuing operations as a key factor in our planning for, and consideration of, strategic 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 from continuing operations is reconciled in Table 2.
Free cash flow provided by (used in) continuing operations before discretionary pension contributions: Free cash flow from continuing operations before the after-tax impact of discretionary pension contributions. We use free cash flow from continuing operations before discretionary pension contributions as a key factor in our planning for, and consideration of, strategic 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 from continuing operations before discretionary pension contributions is reconciled in Table 2.
Net pension adjustment: Pension expense determined in accordance with GAAP less pension expense allocated to the operating segments under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Net pension adjustment is presented in Table 1.
After-tax net pension adjustment per share: The per share impact of the net pension adjustment as defined above, after tax at the statutory rate of 35%, provided for consistency and comparability of 2012 and 2011 financial performance as presented in Table 1.
Pension-adjusted operating income: Operating income before net pension adjustment as reconciled in Table 1. Management uses pension-adjusted operating income as an internal measure of financial performance.
Pension-adjusted operating margin rate: Pension-adjusted operating income as defined above, divided by sales. Management uses pension-adjusted operating margin rate, as reconciled in Table 1, as an internal measure of financial performance.
Segment operating income: Total earnings from our four segments including allocated pension expense recognized under CAS.
