Financial Overview
Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2015 compared to Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2014
Fiscal 2015 compared to Fiscal 2014
_______
* The Company provides Non-GAAP measures as a supplement to financial results based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is included at the end of the release.
“We are very pleased to report growth in net sales and backlog for the fourth quarter reflecting the underlying strength of our product portfolio and strong operational performance in our core business,” said Eileen Drake, CEO and President of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. “Our total contract backlog increased to $4.1 billion as of November 30, 2015, including a $1.1 billion contract by NASA to restart production of the RS-25 engine for the Space Launch System, reaffirming our customer’s confidence in our innovative engineering excellence in addition to the reliability and dependability of our space and defense products.
“Fiscal 2015 also included several important milestones in the advancement of critical technologies, providing a solid foundation for continued growth. AR1, our solution to ending U.S. dependence on Russian engines, passed its Preliminary Design Review with flying colors on its way to full scale engine testing in 2017, and delivery of a flight-qualified engine ready for certification by 2019.
“Our defense business continues to be an impressive contributor to our bottom line, representing a substantial part of our net sales. We continue to apply our know-how to protecting America’s warfighter, providing propulsion to power and guide interceptors on all major platforms. The year included several milestones in the advancement of critical technologies, providing a solid foundation for continued growth in the sector and highlighting future market opportunities.
“Further, we continue to realize benefits associated with our Competitive Improvement Program with a focus on continuing to meet our affordability goals. We improved our manufacturing capability in 2015 with the opening of our Premiere Propulsion and Innovation Center in Southern California and groundbreaking on modern solid rocket motor manufacturing facilities in both Camden, Arkansas and Orange, Virginia, demonstrating our ongoing commitment toward innovation and the next generation of world leading space and defense products.
“We remain focused on excellent performance, maximizing our competitive posture, enhancing customer satisfaction and increasing shareholder value. Our commitment remains to advance rocket science for our nation’s space exploration needs and defense imperatives.”

The increase in net sales during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the following: (i) an increase of $31.3 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by the RS-25 program related to increased development and integration effort in support of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Space Launch System ("SLS") development program; (ii) an increase of $16.2 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by increased deliveries from transitioning the Standard Missile-3 Block IB contract from low-rate initial production to full-rate production; and (iii) an increase of $14.5 million in tactical system programs primarily driven by increased deliveries on the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 contract. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decrease of $24.2 million in space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 program as a result of the timing of deliveries and costs incurred and the Antares AJ-26 program close-out (see discussion below).
The decrease in the segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 compared to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the $21.6 million of research and development ("R&D") costs associated with the AR1 program incurred in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 (see discussion of “AR1” below) and a $16.4 million benefit related to a favorable RL10 contract termination for convenience with a commercial customer included in the fourth quarter fiscal 2014 results.
The increase in net sales in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the following: (i) an increase of $84.3 million in space advanced programs primarily driven by the RS-25 program which is currently engaged in a significant development and integration effort in support of the SLS development program and increased development work on the Orion program partially offset by the successful completion of current J-2X program and (ii) an increase of $80.3 million in missile defense and strategic systems programs primarily driven by the increased deliveries on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense and Standard Missile programs. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decrease of $109.7 million in space launch programs primarily associated with the RL10 and RS-68 programs as a result of the timing of deliveries and costs incurred on these multi-year contracts and lower sales related to the Antares AJ-26 program close-out (see discussion below).
The increase in the segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefit plan expense, Rocketdyne purchase accounting adjustments, and unusual items in fiscal 2015 compared to fiscal 2014 was primarily due to the close-out of the Antares AJ-26 program and R&D costs associated with the AR1 program (see discussion of “AR1” below).

(1) The Company incurred a $50.0 million legal settlement charge related to the Antares AJ-26 program reported as an unusual item.
A summary of the Company's backlog is as follows:
November 30, 2015 | November 30, 2014 | |||||||
(In billions) | ||||||||
Funded backlog | $ | 2.4 | $ | 2.2 | ||||
Unfunded backlog | 1.7 | 0.9 | ||||||
Total contract backlog | $ | 4.1 | $ | 3.1 |
Total backlog includes both funded backlog (unfilled orders for which funding is authorized, appropriated and contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding has not been appropriated). Indefinite delivery and quantity contracts and unexercised options are not reported in total backlog. Backlog is subject to funding delays or program restructurings/cancellations which are beyond the Company's control. Of the Company's November 30, 2015 total contract backlog, approximately 39%, or approximately $1.6 billion, is expected to be filled within one year.
As of November 30, 2015, the Company's funded backlog included $333.0 million on the AJ60 program, of which $110.9 million is expected to be filled within one year. The AJ60 solid rocket booster production order will be completed when the current contract concludes at the end of 2018.
AR1 Research and Development
Company-sponsored R&D expenses (reported as a component of cost of sales) are generally allocated among all contracts and programs in progress under U.S. government contractual arrangements. The Company's newest large liquid booster engine development project, the AR1, recorded $16.1 million of such costs in fiscal 2015. During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company began separately reporting the portion of the engine development expenses associated with the AR1 project which are currently not allocated across all contracts and programs in progress under U.S. governmental contractual arrangements. The total of these costs not charged to the U.S. governmental contractual arrangements amounted to $32.1 million in fiscal 2015 bringing the aggregate total AR1 R&D costs incurred in fiscal 2015 to $48.2 million.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company finalized the sale of the Hillsborough land for a total purchase price of $57.0 million which was comprised of $46.7 million cash and $10.3 million of promissory notes. The total acreage covered by the Hillsborough land transaction was approximately 700 acres, of which approximately 550 acres was recognized as a sale in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. At the initial closing, the buyer paid $40.0 million cash and executed a $9.0 million promissory note secured by a first lien Deed of Trust on a portion of the sale property which resulted in a gain of $30.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The $9.0 million promissory note secured by a first lien Deed of Trust is divided into two components: (i) a $3.0 million 7% promissory note payable 7 years after close of escrow, which includes a possible $1.0 million reduction in principal if the Company is unable to obtain the necessary road and utility approvals, and (ii) a $6.0 million 7% promissory note payable 7 years after close of escrow and only payable after certain environmental clearances associated with “Area 40” (discussed below) are obtained by the Company. The sale also included a $1.3 million non-interest bearing promissory note secured by a first lien Deed of Trust on a portion of the sale property associated with the location of future city roads. In addition, approximately 150 acres of this land, including a 50-acre portion known as “Area 40,” was held back from the initial closing. Upon receipt of regulatory approvals, a closing will take place for the sale of the developable portions of such holdback acreage for a purchase price of $6.7 million in cash.

Competitive Improvement Program ("CIP")
During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company initiated the CIP comprised of activities and initiatives aimed at reducing costs in order for the Company to continue to compete successfully. The CIP is composed of three major components: (i) facilities optimization and footprint reduction; (ii) product affordability; and (iii) reduced administrative and overhead costs. Under the CIP, the Company expects an estimated 500 headcount reduction in its total employee population. The Company currently estimates that it will incur restructuring and related costs over the next four years totaling approximately $110 million. A summary of the Company’s CIP reserve activity in fiscal 2015 is shown below:
Severance | Retention | Total | ||||||||||

Payments | (1.8 | ) | — | (1.8 | ) | |||||||
November 30, 2015 | $ | 11.1 | $ | 2.7 | $ | 13.8 |
The costs associated with the CIP will be a component of the Company’s U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, will be recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government. In addition to the employee-related CIP obligations, the Company incurred non-cash accelerated depreciation expense of $0.8 million in fiscal 2015 associated with changes in the estimated useful life of long-lived assets impacted by the CIP.
Debt Activity
The Company’s debt activity during fiscal 2015 was as follows:

Retirement Benefit Plans
The Company’s tax-qualified pension plans’ assets were as follows:
As of November 30, | ||||||||
2015 | 2014 | |||||||
(In millions) | ||||||||
Tax-qualified pension plans’ assets | $ | 964.1 | $ | 1,163.1 |
As of November 30, 2015, the Company’s unfunded pension obligation for the tax-qualified pension plan was $566.2 million. The changes in the pension obligation for the tax-qualified pension plan since November 30, 2014 were as follows (in millions):
Balance as of November 30, 2014 | $ | 482.8 | ||
Service and interest costs | 73.6 | |||
Investment loss (1) | 64.2 | |||
Discount rate increase (2) | (45.0 | ) | ||
Other | (9.4 | ) | ||
Balance as of November 30, 2015 | $ | 566.2 |
_______
(1) The Company's effective rate of return on plan assets was (6.1)% during fiscal 2015.
(2) The increase in the discount rate was due to higher market interest rates used to determine the Company’s pension obligation. The discount rate was 4.26% as of November 30, 2015 compared to 3.96% as of November 30, 2014.
The Company expects to make cash contributions of approximately $23 million to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plan in fiscal 2016. Further, the Company estimates that approximately 83% of its unfunded pension obligation as of November 30, 2015 is related to Aerojet Rocketdyne which will be recoverable through its U.S. government contracts.
The Company estimates that its non-cash retirement benefit expense will be approximately $67 million in fiscal 2016.
The funded status of the pension plans may be adversely affected by the investment experience of the plans’ assets, by changes in U.S. law and by changes in the statutory interest rates used by tax-qualified pension plans in the U.S. to calculate funding requirements. Accordingly, if the performance of the Company’s plans’ assets does not meet assumptions, if there are changes to the Internal Revenue Service regulations or other applicable law or if other actuarial assumptions are modified, future contributions to the underfunded pension plans could be higher than the Company expects.

The Company evaluates its operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment performance. Segment performance represents net sales from continuing operations less applicable costs, expenses and unusual items relating to the segment operations. Segment performance excludes corporate income and expenses, unusual items not related to the segment operations, interest expense, interest income, and income taxes. The Company believes that segment performance provides information useful to investors in understanding its underlying operational performance. Specifically, the Company believes the exclusion of the items listed above permits an evaluation and a comparison of results for ongoing business operations. It is on this basis that management internally assesses the financial performance of its segments.

Use of Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to segment performance (discussed above), the Company provides the Non-GAAP financial measure of its operational performance called Adjusted EBITDAP. The Company uses this metric to further its understanding of the historical and prospective consolidated core operating performance of its segments, net of expenses resulting from the Company’s corporate activities in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Further, the Company believes that to effectively compare the core operating performance metrics from period to period on a historical and prospective basis, the metric should exclude items relating to retirement benefits, significant non-cash expenses, the impacts of financing decisions on the earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, the Company defines Adjusted EBITDAP as GAAP income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes adjusted by interest expense, interest income, depreciation and amortization, retirement benefit expense, and unusual items which the Company does not believe are reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary activities. Adjusted EBITDAP does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income (loss) as determined in accordance with GAAP.

In addition to segment performance and Adjusted EBITDAP, the Company provides the Non-GAAP financial measures of free cash flow and net debt. The Company uses these financial measures, both in presenting its results to stakeholders and the investment community, and in its internal evaluation and management of the business. Management believes that these financial measures are useful because it presents the Company’s business using the same tools that management uses to gauge progress in achieving its goals.

_______
(1) Free Cash Flow, a Non-GAAP financial measure, is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow excludes any mandatory debt service requirements and other non-discretionary expenditures. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to cash flows from operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes Free Cash Flow is useful as it provides supplemental information to assist investors in viewing the business using the same tools that management uses to gauge progress in achieving the Company’s goals.

Because the Company’s method for calculating the Non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the Non-GAAP measures presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, and the Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.
