Rockwell Collins reports first quarter 2014 earnings per share of $0.96 and improves fiscal year outlook


•	Fiscal year 2014 financial guidance increased to include ARINC and an improved outlook for the company's Government Systems business

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (January 21, 2014) - Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) today reported first quarter fiscal year

2014 earnings per share of $0.96, an increase of 2% from earnings per share of $0.94 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. Total sales for the first quarter of 2014 were $1.07 billion, an increase of 1% from $1.06 billion for the same period in 2013. As previously announced, the company completed the acquisition of ARINC on December 23, 2013. ARINC contributed $6 million of inorganic sales to the first quarter of 2014.

The company increased full year fiscal 2014 financial guidance to include the acquisition of ARINC as well as an improved outlook for Government Systems as follows:

•

Sales are now expected to be in the range of $4.95 billion to $5.05 billion (from $4.5 billion to $4.6 billion). ARINC sales are estimated to be in the range of $400 million to $430 million. In addition, expectations for Government Systems sales have improved due to the passage of the Murray-Ryan Bipartisan Budget Act. We now expect Government Systems sales to be down mid-single digits compared to the prior guidance of being down mid-to-high single digits.

•

Earnings per share outlook increased 5 cents and is now expected to be in the range of $4.35 to $4.55 (from $4.30 to $4.50), primarily due to the improved Government Systems outlook. The company also expects the combined impact of transaction related items (including acquisition and integration costs and the gain on the sale of a business) and the operations of ARINC for the remaining three quarters of the fiscal year to be slightly accretive. During fiscal 2014, the company estimates ARINC will have adjusted EBITDA margins of about 20% (9% to 10% segment operating margins).


•	Operating cash flow outlook increased $50 million and is now expected to be in the range of $600 million to $700 million (from $550 million to $650 million), primarily due to the incremental operating cash flows from ARINC.

“First quarter Commercial Systems and Government Systems financial results were in line with our expectations as we generated top-line sales growth and maintained 20% total segment operating margins," said Rockwell Collins Chief Executive Officer, Kelly Ortberg. "2014 begins a new chapter for our company as we accelerate our return to growth. The acquisition of ARINC, along with strong positions in our core markets and expanding international business, will continue to fuel improved performance reinforcing my confidence in our guidance for the year as well as our outlook for the future."

Regarding the acquisition of ARINC, Ortberg commented, “Integration activities are underway and progressing as planned. Our management team is fully in place and focused on expanding our position as a leading provider of information management services."

Following is a discussion of fiscal year 2014 first quarter sales and earnings for each business segment. Certain amounts previously included in the Commercial Systems segment have been reclassified to the newly created Information Management Services segment. See the supplemental schedule included in this press release for a reconciliation of amounts reclassified.

Commercial Systems

Commercial Systems, which provides aviation electronics systems, products and services to air transport, business and regional aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide, achieved 2014 first quarter results as summarized below.



(dollars in millions)	Q1 FY14			Q1 FY13			Inc/(Dec)
Commercial Systems sales
Original equipment	$	286		$	282		1	%
Aftermarket	216			197			10	%
Wide-body in-flight entertainment	19			27			(30	)%
Total Commercial Systems sales	$	521		$	506		3	%

Operating earnings	$	111		$	105		6	%
Operating margin rate	21.3		%	20.8		%	50 bps


•	Sales to aircraft original equipment manufacturers increased due to higher hardware delivery rates for the Boeing 787 aircraft mostly offset by lower deliveries to light business jet manufacturers.


•	Aftermarket sales increased primarily due to higher air transport retrofits, a large delivery of spare parts for 787 aircraft, and increased revenue from regulatory airspace mandates.


•	Wide-body in-flight entertainment sales decreased primarily due to the absence of a $7 million last-time buy order for spare parts that occurred in the prior year.

Government Systems

Government Systems provides a broad range of electronic products, systems and services to customers including the U.S. Department of Defense, other government agencies, civil agencies, defense contractors and ministries of defense around the world. Results from the first quarter of 2014 are summarized below.



(dollars in millions)	Q1 FY14			Q1 FY13			Inc/(Dec)
Government Systems sales
Avionics	$	317		$	315		1	%
Communication products	118			133			(11	)%
Surface solutions	58			50			16	%
Navigation products	39			48			(19	)%
Total Government Systems sales	$	532		$	546		(3	)%

Operating earnings	$	101		$	107		(6	)%
Operating margin rate	19.0		%	19.6		%	(60) bps


•	Avionics sales increased primarily due to higher hardware deliveries for the E-6B aircraft upgrade program as well as hardware deliveries for international programs, partially offset by lower KC-46 and KC-10 development program sales.


•	Communication product sales declined due to lower satellite and secure communication product and service sales as troop deployments wound down in the Middle East, partially offset by increased deliveries of JTRS Manpack radios.


•	Surface solutions sales increased from higher international Firestorm targeting systems sales partially offset by the reduction of effort on the Common Range Integrated Instrumentation Systems (CRIIS) development program.


•	Navigation product sales declined due primarily to lower Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) product deliveries.

Information Management Services

Information Management Services combines the network and connectivity services provided by ARINC with Rockwell Collins’ flight services business. Information Management Services include air-to-ground data and voice communication services, business aviation flight support services, airport information technology systems, and infrastructure security capabilities.

The company has announced its intent to divest ARINC’s Aerospace Systems Engineering and Support business (ASES), which provides military aircraft integration and modification services. As such, the results of ASES have been classified in discontinued operations and are excluded from the results below.



(dollars in millions)	Q1 FY14			Q1 FY13			Inc/(Dec)
Information Management Services sales	$	18		$	10		80	%

Operating earnings	$	2		$	1		100	%
Operating margin rate	11.1		%	10.0		%	110 bps

Sales for ARINC were $6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, which includes a partial week of revenue since the date of acquisition. All remaining sales are related to the Rockwell Collins’ flight services business.

The operating earnings of Information Management Services include amortization expense from intangible assets related to the flight services business of $1 million in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013.

Corporate and Financial Highlights

Acquisitions and Divestitures

During the first quarter of fiscal 2014, the company completed the acquisition of ARINC for $1.42 billion. The acquisition of ARINC was funded through a combination of new long-term debt issuances and commercial paper borrowings. The company issued $1.1 billion of long-term debt in the first quarter of fiscal 2014. Approximately $900 million of the long-term debt was used for the ARINC acquisition and the remainder was used to refinance $200 million of our debt that matured in December 2013. The balance of the ARINC purchase price was funded with commercial paper issuances which the company intends to pay down over the next few years using operating cash flow.

The company incurred a total of $15 million of transaction costs related to the acquisition of ARINC during the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. $12 million of these costs are included in selling, general and administrative expense and $3 million are included in interest expense. In addition, the company completed the sale of Kaiser Optical Systems, Inc., resulting in a pre-tax gain of $10 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rate was 27.2% for the first quarter of 2014 compared to a rate of 29.8% for the same period last year. The lower tax rate was due primarily to the recognition of a tax benefit relating to prior years' Extraterritorial Income Exclusion deductions.

Cash Flow

Cash used for operating activities was $38 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $63 million in the same period last year. The $101 million reduction in cash flow from operations was primarily due to $60 million of higher employee incentive pay and $37 million of higher income tax payments.

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2014, the company repurchased 0.2 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $17 million. The company paid a dividend on its common stock of 30 cents per share, or $41 million, in the first quarter of 2014.

Fiscal Year 2014 Outlook

The following table is a complete summary of the company's updated fiscal year 2014 financial guidance:



Ÿ	Total sales	$4.95 Bil. to $5.05 Bil. (From $4.5 Bil. to $4.6 Bil.)
Ÿ	Total segment operating margins⁽¹⁾	20% to 21% (From 21% to 22%)
Ÿ	Earnings per share	$4.35 to $4.55 (From $4.30 to $4.50)
Ÿ	Cash flow from operations	$600 Mil. to $700 Mil. (From $550 Mil. to $650 Mil.)
Ÿ	Total research & development investment	About $950 Mil.
Ÿ	Capital expenditures	About $160 Mil. (From about $140 Mil.)
Ÿ	Full year income tax rate	About 30%

⁽¹⁾The decrease in total segment operating margins is due to the inclusion of estimated ARINC operating margins of 9% to 10%. The company estimates that ARINC will have adjusted EBITDA margins of about 20% during fiscal year 2014. See the

supplemental schedule included in this press release for a reconciliation of the company's estimate of ARINC's pre-tax income to its adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2014.

(in millions)

On December 23, 2013, the Company completed its acquisition of ARINC Incorporated (ARINC). The results of operations for ARINC will be included in our new business segment, Information Management Services, which also includes the company’s existing flight services business. The forward looking information provided in the table below presents an overview of the expected incremental impacts from the ARINC acquisition on the company's fiscal year 2014 financial guidance.



	Projected ARINC results for fiscal year 2014

(a) Represents projected ARINC results from the December 23, 2013 acquisition date through fiscal year end September 30, 2014. The company's flight services business is not included in the above table. In addition, the company has announced its intent to divest ARINC’s Aerospace Systems Engineering and Support business (ASES), which provides military aircraft integration and modification services. As such, the results of ASES have been classified in discontinued operations and are excluded from the projected information in the table.

(b) The Company's definition of segment operating earnings excludes certain items, including interest and other general corporate expenses not allocated to business segments. Included in corporate costs is about $15 million of deal related transaction costs primarily consisting of legal, accounting, and advisory fees incurred for the ARINC acquisition. The majority of these costs were incurred during the Company's first fiscal quarter of 2014. Projected corporate costs also include about $25 million of interest expense, comprised of the incremental interest on debt we issued in December 2013 to finance the acquisition, as well as $3 million incurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2014 on a bridge loan credit agreement that has since been terminated. The interest and deal related transaction costs were excluded from the operating earnings of the Information Management Services segment. The remaining corporate costs of $5 million represent estimated selling, general and administrative expenses related to ARINC that will be incurred at the corporate level.

(c) The Company is in the process of completing its purchase price accounting for the ARINC transaction. The projected depreciation and intangible asset amortization expenses included in the table above are subject to change and are based upon preliminary valuation estimates of the acquired assets.

(d) Transaction and integration costs include approximately $5 million of expense to integrate ARINC into Rockwell Collins and to combine our existing flight services business with ARINC.

The Non-GAAP financial projections included in the table above for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) and adjusted EBITDA are believed to be useful to an investor's understanding and assessment of the recently completed ARINC acquisition. The Company does not intend for the Non-GAAP information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. The Non-GAAP financial projections are intended to clarify the impact that certain non-cash depreciation and amortization charges, and certain transaction and integration expenses, are expected to have on the projected financial results for ARINC during the Company's fiscal year 2014.
