Kelly Ortberg Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Dear Shareowners, In fiscal year 2016, Rockwell Collins delivered solid operating results despite challenging conditions in some of our markets. Highlighting this performance was a return to growth by our Government Systems business, strong Information Management Services and air transport original equipment manufacturer revenue, and improved operating margin performance. Overall, a 6 percent increase in Information Management Services revenue and 1 percent growth in Government Systems were mostly offset by a 2 percent revenue reduction within Commercial Systems, driven by lower business aviation production rates and increased avionics recycling within our air transport aftermarket. As a result, our total revenue was approximately flat year-over-year at $5.3 billion. As noted in last year’s letter, these challenges were anticipated. The corresponding cost savings initiatives we implemented earlier in the year allowed us to improve total segment operating margins by 10 basis points to 21.2 percent. Income from continuing operations totaled $727 million — a 5 percent increase — and earnings per share from continuing operations grew 6 percent, from $5.19 to $5.50. Looking ahead, there are many reasons to believe in the long-term value of our company. Let me share why I’m enthusiastic about our recent successes and confident we have the right strategies in place. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 1

In an industry first, Boeing announced it was bringing touchscreen technology to the 777X’s primary flight displays, courtesy of Rockwell Collins With improved sentiment around defense spending, we remained focused on delivering increased value and capability across our entire Government Systems portfolio this past year. Rockwell Collins was selected as a key supplier to Northrop Grumman on the B-21 Raider, and our technology aided the Boeing KC-46A’s first tanker refueling flight. We continued to set the standard for C-130 aircraft upgrades with our next generation avionics, and we completed the acquisition of the Matrix™ projector line, giving our customers a broader and deeper range of industry-leading simulation and training solutions. The Bombardier C Series celebrated its first delivery with our Pro Line Fusion® integrated avionics system Strong positions We saw our Pro Line Fusion® avionics system installed base continue to grow in fiscal year 2016 with the delivery of the Bombardier C Series, the Embraer Legacy 450 entry into service and the first flight of the Mitsubishi Regional Jet. In air transport, we supported the initial flights of the Boeing 737 MAX, which will have 50 percent more of our content than the current 737NG. New commercial programs such as these, along with rate increases on a number of next generation air transport platforms, are expected to drive growth over the balance of the decade. Additionally, our Information Management Services business continued to be a growth platform for us, capitalizing on increasing demand for aircraft connectivity and positioning us as a market leader in aviation’s information age. In fiscal year 2016, we advanced the breadth of our ARINC global network, and introduced additional value-added services to enhance efficiency and safety. As part of our ARINCDirectSM offering, private air charter providers such as VistaJet and Zetta Jet were among the first to adopt Inmarsat’s Jet ConneX, the fastest and most reliable broadband-speed connectivity in the cabin of business aircraft. 2 ROCKWELL COLLINS

The first refueling flight for the KC-46 tanker – which also features our advanced avionics – showcased our Remote Vision System, which uses cutting-edge sensors and stereoscopic 3D displays to allow the operator to remotely control the aerial refueling boom Rockwell Collins was selected as a key supplier to Northrop Grumman for the B-21 Raider long-range strike bomber Year ahead For fiscal year 2017, we remain focused on meeting our commitments to our customers and positioning our business for future growth. Our Information Management Services sales are expected to be up mid-to-high single digits, and Government Systems sales are expected to grow low-to-mid single digits. Rockwell Collins has long been unique in our ability to leverage technologies across the whole of our commercial and government portfolios, enabling us to realize even greater returns on original investments. For example, this past year, the touch-control technology originally developed for primary flight displays on business jets, and later for rotary wing aircraft, led to our selection as a supplier of touchscreen primary flight displays for the Boeing 777X, an industry first for an air transport aircraft. We expect that business jet demand will continue to be challenged, as the trends that slowed our 2016 commercial growth are projected to continue into the next fiscal year. However, we also expect air transport and regional jet aircraft production rates to continue to increase, and the Boeing 737 MAX — the largest commercial aircraft program in our company’s history — is scheduled to enter into service. As a result, Commercial Systems revenues are projected to be about flat. Investing in customer satisfaction In my mind, one of the best measures of success is what our customers think about us. In fiscal year 2016, our employees achieved industry-leading overall customer satisfaction across all three businesses due to their responsiveness, innovation and ability to deliver on commitments. This level of superior customer value contributes significantly to our prospects for growth over the long term. Most important, this year we expect to accelerate our free cash flow performance as development costs wind down and new aircraft production rates increase. Our Information Management Services business maintained extremely high customer retention rates, including a 100 percent renewal rate for our ARINC GLOBALinkSM subscribers. In Commercial Systems, we were named the top-performing supplier by a number of airlines and original equipment manufacturers, including Airbus and Bombardier, and received awards from all three major aircraft makers in the Asia Pac region – Mitsubishi, AVIC/XAC and COMAC. In Government Systems, our performance with Embraer on the avionics for the KC-390 tanker/transport helped us secure a follow-on award for the aircraft’s cargo handling and aerial delivery control system. 100% renewal rate for our ARINC GLOBALinkSM subscribers 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 3

This transaction will bring together two industry-leading franchises, strengthen our position as a leading supplier of cockpit and cabin solutions, Kelly Ortberg Chairman, President and CEO Rockwell Collins was selected by the U.S. Army as one of three companies to compete for the Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Factor program, worth up to $12.7 billion over five years Our Venue™ cabin management system has been installed in more than 850 private and business aircraft cabins around the world 4 ROCKWELL COLLINS

Technology transformations Driving sustainable growth through industry leadership From commercial and business aviation to defense and government, customer needs and technological innovations are driving transformational changes in how pilots, passengers and warfighters connect and relate to the world around them – and how OEMs, owners and countries procure and manage their assets. Rockwell Collins stands at the forefront of these trends, leveraging its expertise and vision to lead the industry forward and drive sustainable growth. ENABLING THE CONNECTED AIRCRAFT DRIVING INNOVATIONS FROM COMMERCIAL TO GOVERNMENT EXPANDING THE VISUAL REALM 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 5

Enabling the connected aircraft In today’s aviation ecosphere, connectivity is more essential than ever. In the cockpit, more robust data streams and sophisticated applications enhance operational efficiency, safety and on-time flight performance. In the cabin, broadband connectivity allows passengers to stay connected throughout their flight and provides new ways to enhance the passenger experience. Rockwell Collins offers a full array of solutions to meet the breadth of those needs, from the pilot in the flight deck to the young family in row 38. Passengers want high-speed connectivity to conduct business or stream content to their personal devices. As a value-added distributor of Inmarsat’s new Global Xpress, the industry’s first global broadband service, we’re keeping them connected throughout their flight. Real-time maintenance information reduces time on the ground and helps to better manage assets and repairs. When it comes to in-flight entertainment, today’s passengers seek engagement, entertainment and empowerment. In business aviation, our Venue™ cabin management system helps passengers maximize every moment of their flight with no compromises. And our PAVES™ in-flight entertainment and connectivity portfolio gives airlines a variety of options, from seatback to wireless solutions, and allows them to tailor the experience on and off the aircraft. 6 ROCKWELL COLLINS

We are at the forefront of the fully connected aircraft, providing onboard servers, routers and wireless access points, end-to-end global broadband connectivity services and cybersecurity solutions that protect the entire aviation network. Our avionics systems for business and commercial aircraft combine advanced situational awareness and intuitive decision-making tools with new connectivity services to enhance safety and efficiency. Airspace renewal efforts in the United States and Europe are driving new ways of communicating quickly and accurately. Our ARINC global network transmits voice and data link messages rapidly and reliably – 7.5 billion messages a year, all with 99.999% reliability. Pilots, crews, airlines and operators can benefit from a wide range of value-added applications and services, including real-time weather and flight plan updates, live credit card authorizations and ARINC MultiLinkSM global flight tracking. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 7

Driving innovations from commercial to government In today’s constrained budgetary environment, governments around the globe are turning to commercial technologies to maximize value while ensuring efficiency, functionality and extensibility. Missionizing commercial technologies allows defense organizations to gain access to leading-edge innovations at a fraction of the costs traditionally associated with a clean-sheet, custom-engineered solution. 900+ military fixed wing aircraft have been retrofitted with our avionics At Rockwell Collins, we’re making the most of our strength in the commercial and defense industries – and our R&D investment – by engineering our solutions and architectures to migrate easily between commercial and government applications. This business model not only brings next-generation technology to the warfighter more quickly, but at significantly lower cost. Pro Line Fusion® on the KC-390 Our Pro Line Fusion® integrated avionics system was originally developed for business aircraft, but its power and flexibility make it a natural choice for government applications as well, including Embraer’s KC-390 tanker transport. Ruggedized to address the aircraft’s variety of missions, the flight deck will include five 15-inch displays – the largest format available – and a leading-edge human interface to provide pilots with extensive situational awareness for enhanced decision making. 8 ROCKWELL COLLINS

Modernizing the C-130 with head-up displays For more than 60 years, the C-130 has served as an iconic workhorse for governments worldwide. Today, those governments are turning to Rockwell Collins to keep their aircraft flying while meeting modern communications needs and airspace access requirements while providing enhanced safety and functionality. Our C-130 head-up displays (HUDs) – first developed for commercial air transport aircraft – enhance situational awareness by giving pilots access to critical flight information while maintaining a head-up, eyes-forward position, even while wearing night-vision goggles. Customized weather radar for Coast Guard missions Reliable and accurate information is critical to every pilot, commercial or government – the earlier and more accurately you detect potential issues, the better chance you have to make adjustments for a safer, smoother and more efficient flight. Today we equip the U.S. Coast Guard’s MH-65E rotary wing aircraft with our MultiScan™ weather radar, a longtime market leader in commercial aviation. Enhanced with ground/ shoreline mapping and a maritime surface search mode, the lightweight, flexible and cost-effective radar reduces workload and enhances situational awareness. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 9

Expanding the visual realm Whatever the mission, situational awareness is the key to keeping people safe, connected and informed. Today’s technological advances in virtual reality are generating entirely new ways to enhance awareness – in a training facility, in a rescue operation or in the midst of battle. We’re combining our long-term investments in core technologies, such as synthetic vision, with cutting-edge innovations from our Advanced Technology Center to augment reality – or photo-realistic simulations – with real-time data to enhance safety, reduce costs and more effectively complete missions. IDVS: Enhanced survivability and mission success In an often-confusing battlespace, situational awareness can be critical to making better, faster decisions that can literally mean life or death. Our Integrated Digital Vision System (IDVS) combines data information and multispectral inputs to present warfighters with a whole new view of the environment. The hands-free system augments a warfighter’s view with information from headquarters and other forces, and imports digital data and video such as compass headings and map displays. Its light processing and digital enhancement systems allow soldiers to “see through” visually degraded environments, from darkness to dust storms. And the system’s ability to seamlessly transition from light to dark, along with its wide field of view, offers breakthrough performance under degraded conditions to improve effectiveness, survivability and success. 10 ROCKWELL COLLINS

Simulating the world’s most advanced fighter Flying the world’s most advanced multi-role fighter is a challenge – and so is finding a safe and cost-effective way to train its pilots. So when it came time to develop a simulator for the F-35 Lightning II, Lockheed Martin turned to the company that helped create the world’s most advanced helmet-mounted display (HMD) for that same platform. Our F-35 simulator leverages our 360-degree Griffin™ rear-projected dome, ProSim™ projector, EP®-80 image generator and software and EP2™ real-time software to create an ultra-high-resolution integrated training environment that offers F-35 pilots the same visual experience as they get in theater. Unparalleled situational awareness Pilots routinely experience degraded visibility conditions caused by darkness, smog/smoke, fog and other environmental conditions. That’s why we’ve developed our Enhanced Vision System (EVS) and Synthetic Vision System (SVS) to heighten situational awareness in all flight conditions. Our EVS integrates multispectral infrared and visible images to give pilots unprecedented awareness of the outside environment, including terrain, obstacles and runway lighting, even in degraded visibility environments. And SVS presents a database-driven perspective to the pilot of surrounding terrain and airport details in real time. To further enhance safety, today Rockwell Collins is fusing both EVS and SVS into a single combined vision system on a head-up display, giving pilots unparalleled situational awareness in an eyes-forward position. 2016 ANNUAL REPORT 11
