Raytheon Reports Strong Second Quarter 2006 Results and Increases Full-year Guidance
Highlights
WALTHAM, Mass., July 27, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) reported second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations of $311 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to $233 million or $0.51 per diluted share in the second quarter 2005. Second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations was higher primarily due to improved operating results at the Company's Government and Defense businesses. The second quarter 2006 income from continuing operations included a $34 million or $0.05 per diluted share favorable adjustment related to the final valuation of warrants issued in the quarter in connection with the 2004 settlement of a class action shareholder lawsuit and a $7 million or $0.01 per diluted share charge related to the tentative settlement of ERISA litigation filed in 2003.
"We continue to be pleased with our operating performance and our positive outlook for the remainder of 2006," said William H. Swanson, Raytheon's Chairman and CEO. "The team remains focused on providing our customers with the best-in-class solutions and enhancing shareholder value."
Second quarter 2006 net income was $310 million or $0.69 per diluted share compared to $201 million or $0.44 per diluted share in the second quarter 2005. Net income for the second quarter of 2005 included a $32 million after-tax loss in discontinued operations or $0.07 per diluted share primarily attributable to foreign tax related matters.
Net sales for the second quarter 2006 were $5.7 billion, up 6 percent from $5.4 billion in the second quarter 2005. Government and Defense sales for the quarter (after the elimination of intercompany sales) increased 5 percent to $4.8 billion from $4.5 billion in the second quarter 2005. Raytheon Aircraft Company (RAC) sales for the quarter increased 8 percent to $745 million from $687 million in the second quarter 2005.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the second quarter 2006 was $439 million versus $820 million for the second quarter 2005, a decrease primarily due to higher collections in the prior year's same period that resulted from a financial system implementation in the first quarter 2005. Year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations was $444 million versus $546 million for the comparable period in 2005, a decrease primarily due to higher 2006 cash tax payments.
Net debt was $3.1 billion at the end of the second quarter 2006 compared with $3.3 billion at the end of 2005 and $4.6 billion at the end of the second quarter 2005. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. During the second quarter 2006, the Company retired $408 million of subordinated notes payable.
The Company is also announcing that it intends to explore strategic alternatives for Raytheon Aircraft Company, which may include among others, a potential sale of the business, an initial public offering or spin-off to shareholders or some combination thereof. There can be no assurance that a transaction involving RAC will occur. The Company currently anticipates that any such transaction will not involve Flight Options LLC or Raytheon Airline Aviation Services LLC, the Company's commuter aircraft business. The Company has retained Credit Suisse to serve as its financial advisor and assist it in this process. As a matter of policy, the Company will not comment upon any proposals received or any rumors relating to any of the foregoing.

The Company defines ROIC as income from continuing operations plus after-tax net interest expense plus one-third of operating lease expense after-tax (estimate of interest portion of the operating lease expense), divided by average invested capital after capitalizing operating leases (operating lease expense times a multiplier of 8) and adding financial guarantees. ROIC is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and may not be defined and calculated by other companies in the same manner. ROIC should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses ROIC to make the most efficient and effective use of capital and as an element of management incentive compensation.
