NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--L-3 Communications Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: LLL) today reported diluted earnings per share (diluted EPS) of $2.08 for the quarter ended June 29, 2012 (2012 second quarter), compared to $2.26 for the quarter ended July 1, 2011 (2011 second quarter). The 2012 second quarter included Engility Holdings, Inc. (Engility) spin-off transaction expenses of $7 million ($5 million after income tax, or $0.05 per diluted share). The 2011 second quarter included a tax benefit of $12 million ($0.11 per diluted share) primarily related to the reversal of amounts previously accrued with respect to the company’s 2006 and 2007 U.S. Federal income tax returns. Excluding these items from the 2012 and 2011 second quarter results, 2012 second quarter diluted EPS would have declined by $0.02, or 1%. Net sales of $3.6 billion for the 2012 second quarter decreased by approximately 6% compared to the 2011 second quarter.
L-3’s second quarter results include the Engility business that was spun-off on July 17, 2012. L-3 will report Engility as discontinued operations beginning with its 2012 third quarter, along with all prior comparative periods. Excluding Engility’s results, L-3 would have reported sales of $3,143 million for the 2012 second quarter, a decrease of approximately 3% compared to the 2011 second quarter and diluted EPS from continuing operations of $1.92, a decrease of 3% compared to the 2011 second quarter. Table E attached to this release provides additional L-3 financial data excluding the Engility business.
“Overall, we had a good second quarter, underscored by strong orders and solid EPS and cash flow. Sales performance reflected the challenging U.S. defense budget environment. C3ISR sales grew by 4%, while sales in our other segments declined due to overseas U.S. troop drawdowns and budget pressures, most pronounced in Government Services,” said Michael T. Strianese, chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Orders grew 4% compared to last year, driven by the Australian C-27J aircraft award, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.10x. We ended the quarter with funded backlog of $11.7 billion, up 9% compared to December 2011.”
“With the spin-off of Engility completed, we continue to sharpen our focus on core areas by providing market-leading, value-added products and solutions to our customers,” continued Mr. Strianese. “Our highly focused business will help us manage the headwinds that are slowing federal contracting processes. Looking ahead, we will continue to execute against our goals, generating value for our customers, shareholders, and employees.”
“In this climate of uncertainty, we continue to seek out opportunities in growth areas, including ISR, EO/IR (Electro-Optical/Infrared) systems and cyber security. L-3’s balanced business mix also enables us to pursue strategic opportunities in the commercial arena and overseas. Operationally, we remain committed to strengthening the company by continuing our outstanding program performance and further improving operational efficiencies, while investing in R&D to provide innovative and affordable solutions that address customer requirements.”
Key contract wins for the quarter included: (1) 10 new C-27J aircraft for the Commonwealth of Australia, (2) U.S. Special Operations Forces Deployable Node – Family of Terminals (SDN – Lite FoT), (3) Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVG) production for the U.S. Army, and (4) ProVision® ATD (Automatic Target Detection) advanced imaging technology systems for the Transportation Security Administration. Additionally, recent wins received in July include:
- The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command (AMCOM) contract for rotary-wing aircraft maintenance and logistics support at Fort Rucker, Alabama, which is a re-competition win, includes a one-year base period and four one-year options, with an estimated contract value of $1.98 billion. L-3 will provide maintenance, logistics and other related sustainment support for over 600 helicopters used by the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence and the U.S. Air Force Air Education Training Command;
- The U.S. Navy contract to design and construct the ship-to-shore connector (SSC) craft as a member of the Textron-led consortium;
- Prime contractor position on the new $300M U.S. Air Force Research Lab multi-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for Agile Cyber Technology (ACT), which will be used for cyber research and solutions including development, prototyping and sustainment of innovative capabilities in support of cyber superiority; and
- Prime contractor position on the $5.6B Solutions for Intelligence II (SIA II) multi-award IDIQ contract, which is a re-competition win, that entails providing professional support services to the intelligence analysis mission, warfighters, defense planners and defense and national security policymakers.
Mr. Strianese continued, “We remain committed to shareholder value, deploying capital and free cash flow to enhance our operations and return cash to our shareholders. During the quarter, we repurchased $177 million of our common stock and paid dividends of $49 million, resulting in $413 million cash returned to our shareholders year-to-date.”

Second Quarter Results of Operations: For the 2012 second quarter, consolidated net sales of $3.6 billion were 6% lower than the 2011 second quarter. Lower sales from the Government Services, Electronic Systems and Aircraft Modernization and Maintenance (AM&M) segments were partially offset by sales growth from the Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C3ISR) segment. Acquired businesses(1), which are all included in the Electronic Systems segment, added $42 million to net sales in the 2012 second quarter. Net sales to commercial customers grew 5% to $407 million for the 2012 second quarter compared to $388 million for the 2011 second quarter.
| (1) Net sales from acquired businesses are comprised of (i) net sales from business acquisitions that are included in L-3’s actual results for less than 12 months, less (ii) net sales from business divestitures that are included in L-3’s actual results for the 12 months prior to the divestitures. | ||||||||||||
Operating income for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $37 million compared to the 2011 second quarter. Operating income as a percentage of sales (operating margin) decreased by 40 basis points to 10.3% for the 2012 second quarter compared to 10.7% for the 2011 second quarter.
Segment operating income for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $30 million compared to the 2011 second quarter primarily due to lower sales and higher pension expense of $7 million. Segment operating margin decreased by 20 basis points to 10.5% for the 2012 second quarter compared to 10.7% for the 2011 second quarter due to higher pension expense. Segment operating results exclude Engility spin-off transaction expenses of $7 million. See segment results below for additional discussion of sales and operating margin.
Net interest expense and other income decreased by $2 million for the 2012 second quarter compared to the same period last year. Lower interest expense of $4 million due to lower interest rates on outstanding fixed rate debt was partially offset by $2 million of lower income from equity method investments.
The effective tax rate for the 2012 second quarter increased by 430 basis points compared to the same period last year, primarily due to: (1) the 2011 second quarter tax benefit of $12 million discussed above and (2) the expiration of the U.S. Federal research and experimentation tax credit on December 31, 2011.
Net income attributable to L-3 in the 2012 second quarter decreased 16% to $205 million compared to the 2011 second quarter, and diluted EPS decreased 8% to $2.08 from $2.26. Excluding $5 million of after-tax spin-off transaction expenses from the 2012 second quarter and the tax benefit of $12 million from the 2011 second quarter, net income attributable to L-3 would have decreased by 9% in the 2012 second quarter compared to the same period last year. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2012 second quarter declined by 8% compared to the 2011 second quarter due to repurchases of L-3 common stock.
First Half Results of Operations: For the first half ended June 29, 2012 (2012 first half) consolidated net sales of $7.1 billion were 3% lower than the first half ended July 1, 2011 (2011 first half). Lower sales from the Government Services and Electronic Systems segments were partially offset by higher sales from the C3ISR segment. Acquired businesses, which are all included in the Electronic Systems segment, added $66 million to net sales in the 2012 first half. Net sales to commercial customers grew 7% to $784 million for the 2012 first half compared to $731 million for the 2011 first half.
Operating income for the 2012 first half decreased by $70 million compared to the 2011 first half. Operating margin decreased by 70 basis points to 10.1% for the 2012 first half compared to 10.8% for the 2011 first half.
Segment operating income for the 2012 first half decreased by $57 million compared to the 2011 first half primarily due to lower sales and higher pension expense of $13 million. Segment operating margin decreased by 50 basis points to 10.3% for the 2012 first half compared to 10.8% for the 2011 first half, primarily due to lower operating margin in the Electronic Systems and C3ISR segments compared to the 2011 first half. Higher pension expense in the 2012 first half reduced segment operating margin by 20 basis points. Segment operating results exclude Engility spin-off transaction expenses of $13 million. See segment results below for additional discussion of sales and operating margin.
Net interest expense and other income decreased by $15 million for the 2012 first half compared to the same period last year primarily due to lower interest rates on outstanding fixed rate debt. The 2011 first half included an $18 million debt retirement charge ($11 million after income tax, or $0.10 per diluted share).
The effective tax rate for the 2012 first half increased by 260 basis points compared to the same period last year due to trends similar to the 2012 second quarter.
Net income attributable to L-3 in the 2012 first half decreased 9% to $406 million compared to the 2011 first half, and diluted EPS decreased 1% to $4.08 from $4.11. Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the 2012 first half declined by 8% compared to the 2011 first half due to repurchases of L-3 common stock.
Orders: Funded orders for the 2012 second quarter increased 4% to $3.9 billion compared to $3.8 billion for the 2011 second quarter. Funded backlog grew 9% to $11.7 billion at June 29, 2012, compared to $10.7 billion at December 31, 2011. The increase in funded orders and backlog was primarily due to the Australian C-27J aircraft award.
Cash flow: Net cash from operating activities was $408 million for the 2012 first half, a decrease of $111 million, compared to $519 million for the 2011 first half. The decrease in net cash from operating activities was primarily due to a decline in operating income and an increase in working capital. These declines were partially offset by lower interest payments. Capital expenditures, net of dispositions of property, plant and equipment, were $75 million for the 2012 first half, compared to $77 million for the 2011 first half.
Cash returned to shareholders: The table below summarizes the cash returned to shareholders during the 2012 first half compared to the 2011 first half.

(1) Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities less net capital expenditures (capital expenditures less cash proceeds from dispositions of property, plant and equipment). Free cash flow represents cash generated after paying for interest on borrowings, income taxes, pension benefit contributions, capital expenditures and changes in working capital, but before repaying principal amount of outstanding debt, paying cash dividends on common stock, repurchasing shares of our common stock, investing cash to acquire businesses, and making other strategic investments. Thus, a key assumption underlying free cash flow is that the company will be able to refinance its existing debt. Because of this assumption, free cash flow is not a measure that should be relied upon to represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. |

Second Quarter: AM&M net sales for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $18 million, or 3%, compared to the 2011 second quarter. Logistics support services decreased by $14 million due to reduced tasking orders for contract field team support services in Southwest Asia for the U.S. Army. This decrease was partially offset by increased demand for field maintenance and sustainment services on a U.S. Army rotary wing aircraft contract that was competitively won in September 2011 and for U.S. Army C-12 aircraft. Platform Systems sales decreased by $4 million due to lower Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) volume for the USAF, which was partially offset by increased volume for international head-of-state aircraft modification contracts.
AM&M operating income for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $4 million, or 7%, compared to the 2011 second quarter. Operating margin decreased by 40 basis points primarily due to a $2 million increase in pension expense.
First Half: AM&M net sales for the 2012 first half increased by $3 million compared to the 2011 first half. Logistics support services increased by $24 million due to increased field maintenance and sustainment services on U.S. Army C-12 aircraft. This increase was partially offset by reduced tasking orders for contract field team support services in Southwest Asia for the U.S. Army. Platform Systems sales decreased by $21 million due to lower JCA volume for the USAF, which was partially offset by increased volume for international head-of-state aircraft modification contracts.
AM&M operating income for the 2012 first half decreased by $7 million, or 6%, compared to the 2011 first half. Operating margin decreased by 50 basis points. The decrease in operating margin was due to a $6 million, or 40 basis points, non-recurring net favorable adjustment in the 2011 first half, comprised of a favorable price adjustment for an international modification contract and startup costs for the U.S. Army C-12 aircraft maintenance contract. A $3 million increase in pension expense reduced operating margin by 30 basis points. These decreases were partially offset by the decline in lower margin JCA sales to the USAF.

Second Quarter: Government Services net sales for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $186 million, or 20%, compared to the 2011 second quarter. Less demand for linguist, law enforcement and intelligence support services for the U.S. and coalition forces due to the drawdown of U.S. military forces in Iraq lowered sales by $63 million. Competitive contract losses in 2011, primarily for staff support services for the U.S. Army and information technology (IT) support services for select non-DoD U.S. Government agencies, lowered sales by $38 million. Lower volumes due primarily to completed contracts and reduced government funding for security and safety systems lowered sales by $73 million. Also, less demand for U.S. Special Operations Command IT support services due to our previous single-award contract converting to several multiple-award contracts, which increased the number of competitors and reduced our work share, lowered sales by $28 million. These sales decreases were partially offset by $16 million in sales for a U.S. Army training contract competitively won in 2011.
Government Services operating income for the 2012 second quarter decreased by $8 million, or 12%, compared to the 2011 second quarter primarily due to lower sales. Operating margin increased by 70 basis points primarily due to the timing of semi-annual award fees received during the quarter for select IT support services contracts.
Excluding the results of the Engility businesses, Government Services would have reported sales of $338 million, a decrease of 20% for the 2012 second quarter, and operating margin of 6.8%. Table E attached to this release provides additional L-3 financial data excluding the Engility business.
First Half: Government Services net sales for the 2012 first half decreased by $357 million, or 19%, compared to the 2011 first half. The decrease was primarily due to trends similar to the 2012 second quarter. Specifically, the drawdown of U.S. military forces in Iraq lowered sales by $144 million, competitive contract losses in 2011 lowered sales by $100 million, and lower volumes due to completed contracts and reduced government funding lowered sales by $91 million. Also, less demand for U.S. Special Operations Command IT support services lowered sales by $54 million. These sales decreases were partially offset by $32 million in sales for a U.S. Army training contract competitively won in 2011.
Government Services operating income for the 2012 first half decreased by $27 million, or 19%, compared to the 2011 first half. Operating margin remained unchanged. The timing of semi-annual award fees was offset by lower contract profit rates on re-competitions of existing business and lower sales volume.
Excluding the results of the Engility business, Government Services would have reported sales of $685 million, a decrease of 18% for the 2012 first half, and operating margin of 6.3%. Table E attached to this release provides additional L-3 financial data excluding the Engility business.

| (1) Upon the completion of the spin-off of Engility, L-3 renamed the Government Services segment National Security Solutions, which is comprised of L-3’s cyber security, intelligence, enterprise IT and security solutions businesses. The prior financial guidance for this segment is therefore not applicable. | |||||
L-3 completed the spin-off of the Engility business on July 17, 2012, which will be reported as discontinued operations beginning with L-3’s 2012 third quarter. The 2012 guidance excludes the Engility business and $19 million of estimated spin-off transaction expenses that will be included in discontinued operations. Also, the 2012 guidance does not include the acquisition of the Thales Training & Simulation Ltd business, which the company entered into an agreement to acquire on April 7, 2012 and is expected to close in the 2012 third quarter. Additionally, the U.S. Federal research and experimentation credit, which expired on December 31, 2011, is not included in the effective tax rate for the 2012 guidance, increasing the tax rate by 80 basis points and decreasing diluted EPS by $0.09.
Additional financial information regarding the 2012 second quarter results and the 2012 updated financial guidance, excluding the Engility business, is available on the company’s website at www.L-3com.com.

Forward-Looking Statements
Certain of the matters discussed in this release, including information regarding the company’s 2012 financial outlook that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to events or conditions or that include words such as ‘‘expects,’’ ‘‘anticipates,’’ ‘‘intends,’’ ‘‘plans,’’ ‘‘believes,’’ ‘‘estimates,’’ and similar expressions constitute forward-looking statements. Although we believe that these statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, including projections of total sales growth, sales growth from business acquisitions, organic sales growth, consolidated operating margins, total segment operating margins, interest expense, earnings, cash flow, research and development costs, working capital, capital expenditures and other projections, they are subject to several risks and uncertainties, and therefore, we can give no assurance that these statements will be achieved. Such statements will also be influenced by factors which include, among other things: our ability to achieve anticipated benefits from the spin-off of Engility; our dependence on the defense industry and the business risks peculiar to that industry, including changing priorities or reductions in the U.S. Government defense budget; backlog processing and program slips resulting from delayed funding of the Department of Defense (DoD) budget; our reliance on contracts with a limited number of agencies of, or contractors to, the U.S. Government and the possibility of termination of government contracts by unilateral government action or for failure to perform; the extensive legal and regulatory requirements surrounding our contracts with the U.S. or foreign governments and the results of any investigation of our contracts undertaken by the U.S. or foreign governments; our ability to retain our existing business and related contracts (revenue arrangements); our ability to successfully compete for and win new business and related contracts (revenue arrangements) and to win re-competitions of our existing contracts; our ability to identify and acquire additional businesses in the future with terms that are attractive to L-3 and to integrate acquired business operations; the impact of any strategic initiatives undertaken by us, and our ability to achieve anticipated benefits; our ability to maintain and improve our consolidated operating margin and total segment operating margin in future periods; our ability to obtain future government contracts (revenue arrangements) on a timely basis; the availability of government funding or cost-cutting initiatives and changes in customer requirements for our products and services; our significant amount of debt and the restrictions contained in our debt agreements; our ability to continue to retain and train our existing employees and to recruit and hire new qualified and skilled employees as well as our ability to retain and hire employees with U.S. Government security clearances; actual future interest rates, volatility and other assumptions used in the determination of pension benefits and equity based compensation, as well as the market performance of benefit plan assets; our collective bargaining agreements, our ability to successfully negotiate contracts with labor unions and our ability to favorably resolve labor disputes should they arise; the business, economic and political conditions in the markets in which we operate, including those for the commercial aviation, shipbuilding and communications markets; global economic uncertainty; the DoD’s contractor support services in-sourcing and efficiency initiatives; events beyond our control such as acts of terrorism; our ability to perform contracts (revenue arrangements) on schedule; our international operations; our extensive use of fixed-price type contracts as compared to cost-plus type and time-and-material type contracts; the rapid change of technology and high level of competition in the defense industry and the commercial industries in which our businesses participate; our introduction of new products into commercial markets or our investments in civil and commercial products or companies; the outcome of litigation matters, including in connection with jury trials; results of audits by U.S. Government agencies; results of on-going governmental investigations, including potential suspensions or debarments; the impact on our business of improper conduct by our employees, agents or business partners; anticipated cost savings from business acquisitions not fully realized or realized within the expected time frame; the outcome of matters relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and similar non-U.S. regulations; ultimate resolution of contingent matters, claims and investigations relating to acquired businesses, and the impact on the final purchase price allocations; competitive pressure among companies in our industry; and the fair values of our assets, which can be impaired or reduced by other factors, some of which are discussed above.
For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could impair our results of operations or financial condition, see ‘‘Part I — Item 1A — Risk Factors’’ and Note 19 to our audited consolidated financial statements, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and any material updates to these factors contained in any of our future filings.
Our forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and the actual results or developments may differ materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. As for the forward-looking statements that relate to future financial results and other projections, actual results will be different due to the inherent uncertainties of estimates, forecasts and projections and may be better or worse than projected and such differences could be material. Given these uncertainties, you should not place any reliance on these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements also represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date that they were made. We expressly disclaim a duty to provide updates to these forward-looking statements, and the estimates and assumptions associated with them, after the date of this release to reflect events or changes in circumstances or changes in expectations or the occurrence of anticipated events.

(1) The continuing operations and NSS segment amounts were derived from L-3 historical results, and were adjusted to: (1) remove Engility results of operations, (2) allocate a portion of L-3’s interest expense to Engility, (3) assign spin-off transaction costs to Engility, and (4) realign certain contracts between L-3 and Engility.
