(NYSE: NOC)
reported that first quarter 2009 earnings from continuing operations increased 48 percent to $389 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared with $263 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2008. First quarter 2008 earnings were reduced by a pre-tax charge of $326 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in the company's Shipbuilding sector.
Sales for the 2009 first quarter increased 8 percent to $8.3 billion from $7.7 billion in the 2008 first quarter. First quarter 2008 sales were reduced by $134 million due to the $326 million charge in the Shipbuilding sector.
In the 2009 first quarter, $172 million of cash was used in operations, including discretionary pension pre-funding of $214 million, compared with $194 million of cash provided by operations in the prior year period.
"We're pleased with our first quarter financial results, and we're confident that our products and capabilities continue to be extremely well aligned with current and emerging national security priorities," said Ronald D. Sugar, chairman and chief executive officer.

(1) Segment operating income is a non-GAAP measure used as an internal
measure of financial performance for the five sectors and is
reconciled to operating income in the "Business Results" table
presented later in this press release.
(2) Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure defined as cash from operations
less capital expenditures and outsourcing contract & related software
costs. Management uses free cash flow as an internal measure of
financial performance. Free cash flow is reconciled to cash from
operations in the "Cash Flow Highlights" table presented later in this
press release.
Operating income for the 2009 first quarter increased 41 percent to $655 million from $464 million in the 2008 first quarter due to higher segment operating income, which was partially offset by a $135 million change in net pension adjustment and a $21 million increase in unallocated expense. The first quarter 2009 net pension adjustment is an expense of $76 million compared to income of $59 million in the first quarter of 2008. The increase in unallocated expenses is principally due to higher post-retirement benefit plan and litigation costs. As a percent of sales, operating income increased to 7.9 percent from 6 percent in the prior year period.
The higher segment operating income reflects higher sales and operating income for all five operating sectors. As a percent of sales, segment operating income increased to 9.5 percent from 5.9 percent in the prior year period. Segment operating income and margin rate for the 2008 first quarter were reduced by a $326 million charge in the Shipbuilding sector.
Federal and foreign income taxes for the 2009 first quarter increased to $201 million from $146 million in the first quarter of 2008. The effective tax rate applied to earnings from continuing operations for the 2009 first quarter was 34.1 percent compared with 35.7 percent in the 2008 first quarter.
Earnings per share are based on weighted average diluted shares outstanding of 332.1 million for the first quarter of 2009 and 349.3 million for the first quarter of 2008. Weighted average shares outstanding for the 2009 first quarter include share repurchases of approximately 4.2 million, and for the 2008 first quarter include the dilutive effect of approximately 4.5 million shares of preferred stock.
New business awards totaled $7.1 billion in the 2009 first quarter. Total backlog, which includes funded backlog and firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer, was $76.9 billion as of March 31, 2009.

(1) Pension-adjusted operating income and margin % are non-GAAP measures
defined as operating income before net pension adjustment and as a %
of sales. Both are reconciled above. Net pension adjustment is a
non-GAAP measure defined as pension expense determined in accordance
with GAAP less pension expense allocated to the business segments
under U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards. Management uses
pension-adjusted operating income and margin % as internal measures of
the financial performance of the company.
(2) Pension-adjusted earnings from continuing operations is a non-GAAP
measure defined as earnings from continuing operations excluding net
pension adjustment, after-tax at the statutory rate of 35%.
Management uses pension-adjusted earnings from continuing operations
as a performance metric for operating results.
(3) Pension-adjusted diluted EPS from continuing operations is a non-GAAP
measure defined as diluted EPS from continuing operations available to
common shareholders excluding net pension adjustment, after-tax at the
statutory rate of 35%. Management uses pension-adjusted diluted EPS
as a performance metric for operating results.
As reconciled in the table above, first quarter 2009 operating income totaled 8.8 percent of sales when adjusted for the first quarter 2009 net pension adjustment of $76 million expense. First quarter 2008 operating income totaled 5.2 percent of sales when adjusted for the 2008 first quarter net pension adjustment of $59 million income. Pension-adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations increased to $1.32 for the first quarter of 2009 from $0.64 for the first quarter of 2008.

Settlement of Legal Matters
As previously reported, on April 2 the company reached an agreement with the U.S. government to settle two legal matters: the Department of Justice's microelectronics claim and the company's claim against the U.S. government related to the award, performance and termination of the Tri-Service Standoff Attack Missile (TSSAM) program. While the settlement amounts for the two claims were equal and therefore offset each other, the company had previously recorded a provision for the microelectronics claim. The company expects that the final impact of the agreement, after other litigation matters and legal costs, will be a pre-tax gain of $60 to $70 million in its second quarter 2009 financial results, and is considered in the 2009 guidance provided below.
2009 EPS Guidance Raised

Information Systems first quarter 2009 sales increased 8 percent due to higher sales for command, control & communications, ISR, and intelligence programs. The higher volume for these programs was partially offset by lower volume for commercial, state & local programs.
Information Systems operating income rose 5 percent in the 2009 first quarter. As a percent of sales, operating income was 9 percent compared with 9.2 percent in the prior year period. The increase in operating income is due to higher volume. The slightly lower margin rate principally reflects lower performance for commercial, state and local programs.

Aerospace Systems first quarter 2009 sales increased 4 percent, principally due to higher volume for unmanned aircraft programs, including Broad Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) Unmanned Aerial System, Unmanned Combat Air Systems Carrier Demonstration (UCAS-D), and Global Hawk; manned programs such as F-35, Joint STARS, B-2, and F/A-18; and restricted programs. Higher volume for these programs was partially offset by the cancellation of the Air Mobility Tanker replacement program and lower volume for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM), E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, and Airborne Laser programs.
Aerospace Systems operating income rose 2 percent, and as a percent of sales, was 10.5 percent, slightly lower than the prior year period. The increase in operating income reflects higher volume, and the margin rate for the period reflects the impact of higher positive program adjustments in the 2008 first quarter.

The increase in operating income is due to higher volume. The decline in margin rate reflects a net positive impact to royalty income of $15 million for patent infringement settlements in the 2008 first quarter compared to the 2009 first quarter.

Shipbuilding first quarter 2009 sales increased 9 percent, principally due to higher volume for the LHD 8 amphibious assault ship, Virginia-class submarine, and aircraft carrier programs. Higher volume for these programs was partially offset by lower volume on the DDG 51 program. Shipbuilding revenue in the 2008 first quarter was reduced by $134 million due to the revision of the LHD 8 contract's estimate to complete.
Shipbuilding operating income for the 2009 first quarter totaled $84 million, or 6.1 percent of sales, compared to a loss of $218 million in the first quarter of 2008. First quarter 2009 operating income includes adjustments for cost growth on the DDG 51 program and LPD 22, as well as positive performance for risk retirement and escalation adjustments on the LHD 8 program. During the 2008 first quarter the company recorded a $326 million charge primarily related to the LHD 8 contract performance and operating impacts to other programs.

CONTRACT AWARDS
---------------
The estimated value of contract awards included in backlog during the
three months ended March 31, 2009, was approximately $7.1 billion.
Significant new awards during this period include $637 million for
Virginia-class MPU & SSTG programs, $374 million for construction
preparation of the Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, $325 million for
the B-2 program, $255 million for LAIRCM IDIQ, and various restricted
awards.
In the three months ended March 31, 2008, the company was awarded a $1.5
billion contract by the U.S. Air Force to replace its aerial refueling
tanker fleet. However, the losing bidder for the contract successfully
protested the award decision by the U.S. Air Force, and in the fourth
quarter of 2008, the company reduced total backlog by $1.5 billion to
reflect the termination of the U.S. Air Force refueling tanker program,
pending a recompete by the DoD.

(1) "As reported" amounts are as of December 31, 2008, which reflects the
Park Air / Remotec realignment, Missile Systems realignment, and the
presentation of Electro-Optical Systems as a discontinued operation
and are reported in the 2008 Form 10-K. 2008 quarterly results for
the three months ended Mar. 31, Jun. 30, and Sep. 30 were previously
reported in Schedule 6 of the Third Quarter 2008 earnings release.
(2) Reported amounts adjusted to reflect the realignment of certain
logistics, services, and technical support programs and assets from
the Information Systems and Electronic Systems segments to the
Technical Services segment and the streamlining of the company's
organizational structure by reducing the number of operating segments
from seven to five.
(3) Non-GAAP measure. Management uses segment operating income as an
internal measure of financial performance for the individual business
segments.
