Raytheon Reports Strong Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2017 Results

WALTHAM, Mass., Jan. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) today announced net sales for the fourth quarter 2017 of $6.8 billion, up 8.0 percent compared to $6.3 billion in the fourth quarter 2016. Fourth quarter 2017 EPS from continuing operations was $1.35 compared to $1.87 in the fourth quarter 2016. Fourth quarter and full-year 2017 included an unfavorable $0.59 provisional tax-related impact due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

In addition, the company made a $1.0 billion pretax discretionary pension plan contribution in the fourth quarter 2017, which had an unfavorable tax-related EPS impact of $0.09 and was not included in the company's prior guidance. The company made a $500 million pretax discretionary pension plan contribution in the fourth quarter 2016, which had an unfavorable tax-related EPS impact of $0.04.

Net sales in 2017 were $25.3 billion, up 5.1 percent compared to $24.1 billion in 2016. Full-year 2017 EPS from continuing operations was $6.94 compared to $7.55 for the full-year 2016.

"Raytheon delivered record sales and strong cash flow in 2017 reflecting the continued hard work and dedication of the Raytheon team," said Thomas A. Kennedy, Raytheon Chairman and CEO. "Bookings strength across our broad portfolio of proven technology solutions positions the company well for the future."

The company generated strong operating cash flow for both the fourth quarter and full-year. Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2017 and full-year 2017 was $1.6 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, after making the $1.0 billion pretax discretionary cash contribution to the company's pension plans. Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the fourth quarter 2016 and full-year 2016 was $1.1 billion and $2.9 billion, respectively, after making the $500 million pretax discretionary pension contribution. Operating cash flow in the fourth quarter and full-year 2017, excluding the $1.0 billion pretax discretionary pension contribution, was better than the company's prior guidance primarily due to favorable collections.

In the fourth quarter 2017, the company repurchased 0.5 million shares of common stock for $100 million. For the full-year 2017, the company repurchased 4.9 million shares of common stock for $800 million. Also, as previously announced in November 2017, the company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an additional $2.0 billion of the company's outstanding common stock.

The company had bookings of $8.5 billion in the fourth quarter 2017, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.26. Fourth quarter 2016 bookings were $7.6 billion. Full-year 2017 bookings were $27.7 billion, resulting in a book-to-bill ratio of 1.09. Full-year 2016 bookings were $27.8 billion.

Outlook

The company has provided its financial outlook for 2018. Charts containing additional information on the company's 2018 outlook are available on the company's website.

Effective January 1, 2018, the company adopted the new retirement benefit standard, which moves certain components of FAS pension and postretirement benefit expense from operating to non-operating income. The adoption of this standard increases operating income due to the removal of all components of FAS expense other than service cost, and decreases non-operating income by the same amount with no impact to net income. The standard does not impact our CAS expense, which is recorded in the results of each segment. As a result, our FAS/CAS Adjustment will be split into: FAS/CAS Operating Adjustment; and Other Pension Expense within non-operating. The 2017 Actuals - New Standard and the 2018 columns in the Financial Outlook table below reflect the adoption of the standard.

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) had fourth quarter 2017 net sales of $1,553 million, up 6 percent compared to $1,460 million in the fourth quarter 2016. IDS had full-year 2017 net sales of $5,804 million compared to $5,529 million in 2016. The increase in net sales for both the quarter and the full-year was primarily driven by higher net sales on an international early warning radar program.

IDS recorded $247 million of operating income in the fourth quarter 2017 compared to $238 million in the fourth quarter 2016. The increase in operating income for the quarter was primarily driven by higher volume and a favorable change in program mix. IDS recorded $935 million of operating income in 2017 compared to $971 million in 2016. The change in operating income for the full-year was primarily driven by a favorable change in program mix, higher net program efficiencies and higher volume, which was more than offset by the $158 million tax-free gain from the ThalesRaytheonSystems (TRS) transaction in the second quarter 2016.

During the quarter, IDS booked $304 million on an Early Warning Surveillance Radar System (EWSRS) support program for an international customer; $280 million to provide Consolidated Contractor Logistics Support (CCLS) for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA); $264 million to provide advanced Patriot Air and Missile Defense system capabilities for international customers; and $81 million on the Army Navy/Transportable Radar Surveillance-Model 2 (AN/TPY-2) radar sustainment program for the MDA.

Shortly after the quarter close, as previously announced, IDS received a direct commercial contract worth more than $1.5 billion to provide Patriot Air and Missile Defense system capability to a member of the 14-nation Patriot partnership.
