News Release

Rockwell Collins reports 48% increase in third quarter earnings per share

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (July 27, 2018) - Rockwell Collins, Inc. (NYSE: COL) today reported sales for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 of $2.208 billion, a 5% increase from the same period in fiscal year 2017. Third quarter fiscal year 2018 earnings per share were $1.66 compared to $1.12 in the prior year's third quarter. Earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 includes a 23 cent charge relating to the settlement of a contract matter and the write-down to fair value of assets associated with an engineered components business classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2018. In addition, earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 includes a 42 cent discrete benefit from the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 was $1.73 compared to $1.64 in the prior year's third quarter (see the supplemental schedule in this press release for a reconciliation between GAAP earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share).

"In addition to the solid business performance for the quarter, we have spent significant energy preparing for the upcoming merger with United Technologies Corporation," said Rockwell Collins Chief Executive Officer and President, Kelly Ortberg. "I'm confident that those efforts, along with strong market conditions, will allow us to hit the ground running at the anticipated close."

Following is a discussion of fiscal year 2018 third 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 2018 third quarter results as summarized below.

Original equipment sales increased due to higher air transport narrow-body and business jet product deliveries, partially offset by lower legacy wide-body production rates and customer-funded development program revenues.
Aftermarket sales decreased due to lower used aircraft equipment sales of $22 million, partially offset by higher service and support and regulatory mandate upgrade activity.
Commercial Systems operating earnings increased $4 million and operating margin increased 20 basis points over the prior year due to increased earnings from higher sales volume and favorable sales mix, as higher margin equipment sales increased and lower margin customer-funded development revenues and used equipment sales decreased, partially offset by higher company-funded R&D expense and higher pre-production engineering amortization.

Interior Systems

Our Interior Systems segment was created with the acquisition of B/E Aerospace on April 13, 2017. Interior Systems supplies a comprehensive portfolio of cabin interior products and services to aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide. Beginning in 2018, thermal and electronic systems product lines previously included in Interior products and services within the Interior Systems segment are now being reported in the Government Systems segment. See the supplemental schedule included in this press release for revised fiscal year 2017 quarterly sales that conform to the current presentation. Results from the third quarter of 2018 are summarized below.

Interior products and services sales increased $14 million due primarily to the benefit of a full quarter of sales in the current year, partially offset by lower original equipment galley deliveries and the absence of oxygen equipment retrofit deliveries in the prior year.
Aircraft seating sales decreased $2 million due to the timing of linefit seating sales partially offset by the benefit of a full quarter of sales in the current year.
Operating earnings increased $34 million and operating margin increased 500 basis points over the prior year. Operating earnings and margin were favorably impacted by:
The absence of a $44 million inventory fair value purchase accounting adjustment in the prior year
Cost synergy savings
Favorable foreign currency exchange rates
The benefit of higher sales volume
The above items were partially offset by a $19 million increase to certain product quality reserves and an $11 million increase in intangible asset amortization expense.

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. Beginning in 2018, the product lines referenced above previously included in the Interior Systems segment are now being reported in Communication and navigation within the Government Systems segment. See the supplemental schedule included in this press release for revised fiscal year 2017 quarterly sales that conform to the current presentation. Results from the third quarter of 2018 are summarized below.

Avionics sales increased $53 million due primarily to higher development program revenues, higher deliveries for various fighter platforms, and higher simulation and training sales.
Communication and navigation sales increased $25 million due to higher thermal and electronics sales and higher test and training range sales, partially offset by lower legacy communication product deliveries.

2



Operating earnings decreased $1 million and operating margin declined 260 basis points from the prior year due to higher company-funded R&D expense. In addition, increased earnings from higher sales volume was unfavorably impacted by lower margins on higher development program revenues and thermal and electronic systems sales.

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 third quarter of 2018 are summarized below.

IMS sales increased due to 7% growth in aviation related revenues driven by increased usage of connectivity services. In addition, non-aviation revenues increased 7% as higher airport program revenues were partially offset by the completion of nuclear security mandate revenues.
IMS operating earnings and operating margin declined due to the absence of the favorable resolution of certain international business jet support services claims in the prior year as well as an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts related to specific customer collection risks in the current year, partially offset by increased earnings from higher sales volume.

Corporate and Financial Highlights

Income Taxes
The company's effective income tax rate on GAAP earnings was (2.2)% for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 compared to a rate of 19.0% for the same period last year. The lower current year effective income tax rate was primarily due to a $70 million reduction in deferred tax liabilities as a result of the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act ("the Act"), including the impact of a $387 million discretionary pension contribution made in July of 2018. In addition, the current year effective income tax rate was lower due to a lower U.S. Federal statutory tax rate under the Act, as well as benefits from the jurisdictional mix of income as a result of the B/E Aerospace acquisition.

The company's effective income tax rate on adjusted earnings was 20.7% in the third quarter of 2018, compared to 27.1% in the same period in the prior year. See the supplemental schedule included in this press release for a reconciliation between GAAP earnings and adjusted earnings.

Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities was $196 million for the first nine months of fiscal year 2018, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $416 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2017. The decrease in cash provided operating activities was due primarily to higher payments for production inventory and other operating costs, as well as higher employee incentive payments, partially offset by higher cash receipts from customers and lower income tax payments.

The Company paid a dividend on its common stock of 33 cent per share, or $54 million, in the third quarter of 2018.

Conference Call
In light of the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins by United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), the Company will not hold a conference call for its quarterly results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The Company plans to file its Form 10-Q for the third quarter with the SEC on or about July 27, 2018.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
See the supplemental schedule included in this press release for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures including adjusted earnings per share, adjusted income, and effective income tax rate on adjusted earnings.

ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(Unaudited)
(in millions, except per share amounts)


Adjusted earnings per share is a non-GAAP metric and is believed to be useful to investors' understanding and assessment of our ongoing operations and performance of the B/E Aerospace acquisition, which occurred on April 13, 2017. Adjusted earnings per share excludes certain one-time and non-cash expenses that we believe are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. The Company believes these measures are important indicators of the Company's operations for purposes of period-to-period comparison of our operating results. The non-GAAP information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.

A reconciliation between GAAP earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share is presented below for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017.
