News Release

Rockwell Collins reports 7% increase in second quarter earnings per share from continuing operations

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (April 21, 2016) - Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) today reported second quarter fiscal year 2016 earnings per share from continuing operations increased 7% to $1.30 compared to $1.22 in the prior year. Total sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 were $1.31 billion, a 2% decrease from the same period in fiscal year 2015. Total segment operating margins remained steady at 20.7%.

"Fiscal 2016 is progressing directionally as we expected,” said Rockwell Collins Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer, Kelly Ortberg. “We anticipated the slow start in the first half of the year followed by expected growth in the second half. Our execution in the second quarter was solid as we focused on delivering the savings from our restructuring actions taken in the first quarter. Our full year guidance remains unchanged as we now focus on delivering the second half growth."

Ortberg continued, “There were also several significant accomplishments this quarter that support our long-term growth objectives. We were selected as one of the suppliers for the HMS Manpack program and we're pleased to be a supplier to Northrop Grumman on the Long Range Strike Bomber. We also captured numerous contract awards for our avionics and information management systems."

Following is a discussion of fiscal year 2016 second quarter sales and earnings for each business segment.

Commercial Systems

Commercial Systems, which provides aviation electronics systems, products and services to air transport, business and regional aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide, achieved 2016 second quarter results as summarized below.

(dollars in millions)	Q2 FY16			Q2 FY15			Inc/(Dec)
Commercial Systems sales
Original equipment	$	353		$	370		(5	)%
Aftermarket	248			234			6	%
Wide-body in-flight entertainment	10			15			(33	)%
Total Commercial Systems sales	$	611		$	619		(1	)%
Operating earnings	$	135		$	142		(5	)%
Operating margin rate	22.1		%	22.9		%	(80) bps

• Original equipment sales decreased as expected due to lower business aircraft OEM production rates, unfavorable airline selectable equipment mix, and lower Airbus A330 production rates. These decreases were partially offset by higher customer-funded development program revenues, higher product deliveries in support of the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 production ramps, and higher product deliveries for the Bombardier CSeries program in support of entry into service.

• Aftermarket sales increased due to higher business jet avionics retrofit and mandate revenues as well as inorganic sales primarily from the acquisition of International Communications Group (ICG).

• Operating earnings and operating margin decreased from the prior year primarily due to sales mix as lower margin customer-funded development sales increased and higher margin business jet OEM sales decreased. In addition, SG&A costs increased from higher inorganic costs from the acquisitions of ICG and Pacific Avionics. These items were partially offset by lower company-funded research and development expense and cost savings initiatives from previously announced restructuring plans.

Government Systems

1

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.

Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, Government Systems sales categories have been consolidated as a result of an internal reorganization and are delineated based on the underlying product technologies. The previously reported sales categories of Communication products, Surface solutions and Navigation products are now primarily consolidated into Communication and Navigation. Government Systems sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 has been reclassified to the current year presentation.

Results from the second quarter of 2016 are summarized below.

(dollars in millions)	Q2 FY16			Q2 FY15			Inc/(Dec)
Government Systems sales
Avionics	$	357		$	371		(4	)%
Communication and Navigation	181			196			(8	)%
Total Government Systems sales	$	538		$	567		(5	)%
Operating earnings	$	108		$	114		(5	)%
Operating margin rate	20.1		%	20.1		%	—

• Avionics sales decreased due to lower deliveries on various rotary wing platforms, lower simulation and training sales, partially offset by higher fixed-wing platform revenues.

• Communication and Navigation sales decreased due to the wind-down of an international electronic warfare program and lower international deliveries of targeting systems.

• Operating earnings and operating margin declined primarily due to lower sales volume and higher SG&A costs from further expansion in international emerging markets, partially offset by lower company-funded research and development expense and cost savings initiatives from previously announced restructuring plans.

Information Management Services

Information Management Services (IMS) provides communication services, systems integration and security solutions across the aviation, airport, rail and nuclear security markets. Results from the second quarter of 2016 are summarized below.

(dollars in millions)	Q2 FY16			Q2 FY15			Inc/(Dec)
Information Management Services sales	$	162		$	155		5	%
Operating earnings	$	29		$	22		32	%
Operating margin rate	17.9		%	14.2		%	370 bps

• IMS sales increased primarily due to 8 percent growth in aviation-related sales, including GLOBALink^SM and ARINCDirect^SM.

• IMS operating earnings and operating margin increased due to incremental earnings on higher sales volume as well as the favorable resolution of certain prior year claims associated with international business jet support services.

Corporate and Financial Highlights

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 26.8% for the second quarter of 2016 compared to a rate of 32.4% for the same period last year. The lower current year effective income tax rate from continuing operations was

primarily due to the permanent extension of the Federal R&D Tax Credit and the early adoption of the new share based

compensation standard. The new guidance requires, among other things, that excess tax benefits and shortfalls be recorded as income tax benefit or expense in the income statement, rather than in equity.

2

Cash Flow

Cash provided by operating activities was $45 million for the first six months of fiscal year 2016, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $132 million in the first six months of fiscal year 2015. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to lower net income and unfavorable working capital changes, partially offset by lower tax payments.

During the second quarter of 2016, the company repurchased 1.2 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $98 million. The company also paid a dividend on its common stock of 33 cents per share, or $43 million, in the second quarter of 2016.

Fiscal Year 2016 Outlook

The following table is a summary of the company's financial guidance for continuing operations for fiscal year 2016, which is

unchanged from the guidance previously provided on January 22, 2016:

Ÿ	Total sales	$5.3 billion to $5.4 billion
Ÿ	Total segment operating margins	About 21.0%
Ÿ	Earnings per share	$5.45 to $5.65
Ÿ	Cash flow from operations	$750 million to $850 million
Ÿ	Total research & development investment	About $1 billion (1)
Ÿ	Capital expenditures	About $200 million
Ÿ	Full year income tax rate	22% to 23%

(1) - Total research and development investment consists of company and customer-funded research & development expenditures as well as the net increase in pre-production engineering costs capitalized within inventory.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Total segment operating margin is a non-GAAP measure and is reconciled to the related GAAP measure, Income from continuing operations before income taxes, in the Segment Sales and Earnings Information schedule in this press release. Total segment operating margin is calculated as total segment operating earnings divided by total sales.

⁽¹⁾ On March 10, 2015, the Company sold its Aerospace Systems Engineering and Support (ASES) business, which provides military aircraft integration and modification services. The results of ASES have been classified as discontinued operations.

⁽²⁾ The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, which requires excess tax benefits from stock-based compensation to be classified within operating cash flow. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2016-09 prospectively as of the beginning of 2016, therefore prior periods have not been adjusted.
