“Aerojet Rocketdyne had a great second quarter with strong top line growth and solid profit margins,” said Eileen P. Drake, CEO and President of Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc. “Sales of $557 million increased 9% over the prior year and 12% over the first quarter. We are seeing the anticipated sales growth from new development programs, including GBSD, as well as continued steady growth on our portfolio of legacy programs. Adjusted EBITDAP margin for the quarter was 15.6%, reflecting strong performance across our portfolio of programs,” continued Drake. Backlog levels remain high, ending the quarter at $6.7 billion, with $2.2 billion of that expected to convert to revenue in the next twelve months. Free cash flow for the second quarter was $81 million.

Second quarter of 2021 compared with second quarter of 2020

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (“GBSD”) and Army Tactical Missile Systems (“ATACMS”) programs partially offset by a decline on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (“THAAD”) program.

The increase in net income was impacted by the following (i) favorable contract performance on the RS-68 program; (ii) lower interest expense; and (iii) lower depreciation expense. These factors were partially offset by (i) Merger related costs in the current period (see discussion below); and (ii) higher stock-based compensation as a result of increases in the fair value of the stock appreciation rights in the current period. The Company had $18.0 million of net favorable changes in contract estimates on net income in the current period compared with net favorable changes of $11.4 million in the second quarter of 2020.

First half of 2021 compared with first half of 2020

The increase in net sales was primarily driven by the GBSD, RS-25, and ATACMS programs partially offset by declines on the THAAD and PAC-3 programs.

The decrease in net income was impacted by the following (i) Merger related costs in the current period (see discussion below); (ii) loss on settlement of debt (see discussion below); (iii) lower interest income; and (iv) higher stock-based compensation as a result of increases in the fair value of the stock appreciation rights in the current period. These factors were partially offset by (i) lower interest expense and (ii) lower depreciation expense. The Company had $16.1 million of net favorable changes in contract estimates on net income in the current period compared with net favorable changes of $13.3 million in the first half of 2020.

Backlog

As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog, totaled $6.7 billion compared with $6.7 billion as of December 31, 2020. The Company expects to recognize approximately 33%, or $2.2 billion, of the remaining performance obligations as sales over the next twelve months, an additional 24% the following twelve months, and 43% thereafter. A summary of the Company’s backlog is as follows:

	June 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
	(In billions)
Funded backlog	$	3.0	$	3.0
Unfunded backlog	3.7		3.7
Total backlog	$	6.7	$	6.7

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.

Merger

On December 20, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) and Mizar Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company being the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of common stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will be automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $51.00 per share (adjusted from $56.00 following the payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend, as discussed below).

In December 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a one-time cash dividend of $5.00 per share (including shares underlying the 2.25% Convertible Senior Notes (“2¼% Notes”) participating on an as-converted basis) (the “Pre-Closing Dividend”). On March 24, 2021, the Company paid the Pre-Closing Dividend to holders of record as of March 10, 2021. Payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend was made in connection with the anticipated acquisition of the Company by Lockheed Martin. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company’s payment of the Pre-Closing Dividend adjusted the consideration to be paid by Lockheed Martin at closing from $56.00 per share to $51.00 per share.

On February 18, 2021, the Company received a request for additional information (“second request”) from the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) as part of the regulatory review process for the acquisition of the Company by Lockheed Martin.

On March 9, 2021, the stockholders of the Company voted in favor of approving the Merger Agreement at a special meeting. Closing of the Merger is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to receipt of regulatory approval under the Hart Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and satisfaction of other closing conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded $13.6 million of costs associated with the Merger. The components of the Merger costs are as follows (in millions):

Legal	$	7.4
Employee compensation (including $2.2 million of recurring employee costs)	5.3
Consulting and other professional costs	0.9
	$	13.6

2¼% Notes

In the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company settled $141.8 million of its 2¼% Notes as a result of receiving conversion notices from the holders of the 2¼% Notes. The principal amount of $141.8 million was settled in cash and the conversion premium was settled in 2.7 million common shares. The Company incurred a pre-tax charge of $9.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, associated with the settlement of the 2¼% Notes.

Use of Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDAP, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS

The Company provides the Non-GAAP financial measures of its performance called Adjusted EBITDAP, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS. The Company uses these metrics to measure its operating and total Company performance. The Company believes that for management and investors to effectively compare core performance from period to period, the metrics should exclude items that are not indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from the ongoing business operations such as retirement benefits (pension and postretirement benefits), significant non-cash expenses, the impacts of financing decisions on earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of business. Accordingly, the Company defines Adjusted EBITDAP as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, retirement benefits net of amounts that are recoverable under the Company’s U.S. government contracts, and unusual items (Merger costs and loss on debt). Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS exclude retirement benefits net of amounts that are recoverable under its U.S. government contracts and unusual items which the Company does not believe are reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary activities. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income or diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Free Cash Flow

The Company also provides the Non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital 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 uses Free Cash Flow, both in presenting its results to stakeholders and the investment community, and in the Company’s internal evaluation and management of the business. Management believes that this financial measure is useful because it provides supplemental information to assist investors in viewing the business using the same tools that management uses to evaluate progress in achieving the Company’s goals. The following table summarizes Free Cash Flow:

	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	89.6		$	144.7		$	20.2		$	127.6
Capital expenditures	(8.5		)	(13.2		)	(12.3		)	(16.2		)
Free Cash Flow	$	81.1		$	131.5		$	7.9		$	111.4

Because the Company’s method for calculating these 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.
