General Dynamics Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2020 Financial Results

RESTON, Va., Jan. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) today reported quarterly net earnings of $1 billion, or $3.49 per diluted share, on $10.5 billion in revenue. For the full year, net earnings were $3.2 billion, or $11.00 per diluted share, on revenue of $37.9 billion.

On a sequential basis, both net earnings and earnings per share (EPS) were up 20% from the previous quarter. Operating margin was 12.3% in the quarter, up 90 basis points sequentially and up 20 basis points from the year-ago quarter. Backlog grew 9.8% in the quarter to a record-high $89.5 billion.

"Our continued focus on operating performance and on protecting the health and safety of our employees contributed to strong sequential improvements in earnings, margin and cash flow," said Phebe N. Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our defense segments continued to capture significant awards, leading to a record-high backlog, while our aerospace segment not only remained very profitable, but actually improved its margins throughout the year, even as the broader business aviation industry contracted severely due to the pandemic."

Margin
Company-wide operating margin was 12.3%, up 90 basis points from the prior quarter. Aerospace margin was 16.5%, up 220 basis points from the prior quarter.

Cash
Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter totaled $2.6 billion, or 256% of net earnings. For the year, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $3.9 billion, or 122% of net earnings. Free cash flow from operations, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures, was $2.2 billion for the quarter, a 221% conversion of net earnings, and $2.9 billion for the year, a 91% conversion of net earnings. During the quarter, the company reduced its net debt by $1.7 billion, invested $345 million in capital expenditures, paid $315 million in dividends, and repurchased $100.7 million in shares at an average price of $143.80, ending 2020 with $2.8 billion in cash and equivalents on hand.

Backlog
Orders remained strong across the company with a consolidated book-to-bill of 1.8-to-1 for the quarter and 1.1-to-1 for the year. In addition to backlog of $89.5 billion, management's estimate of additional value in unfunded indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options was $45.2 billion at year-end. Total estimated contract value, representing the sum of all backlog components was $134.7 billion, up 6.7% for the year.

Significant awards in the fourth quarter included a $9.5 billion option exercise from the U.S. Navy for construction and test of the first two Columbia-class submarines; $4.4 billion maximum potential value contract from the U.S. Department of Defense to provide cloud solutions for Office 365 deployment and migration; a $3.3 billion maximum potential value contract from the U.S. State Department to provide business process support services; a $695 million contract from the U.S. Army to provide information technology and professional services; $620 million for several key contracts for classified customers; a $405 million initial task order on a $4.3 billion maximum potential value contract to upgrade Abrams tanks for the Army; a $230 million initial task order on an Army contract with a maximum potential contract value of $1.2 billion to produce Stryker Initial Maneuver Short-Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD) vehicles; $375 million from the Navy to provide lead yard services for the Virginia-class submarine program; and $265 million from the Navy for maintenance and repair services for three ship classes.

                                  taxes, depreciation and amortization
                                  (EBITDA) is a useful measure for
                                  investors because it provides
                                  another measure of our profitability
                                  and our ability to service our debt.
                                  We calculate EBITDA by adding back
                                  interest, taxes, depreciation and
                                  amortization to net earnings. The
                                  most directly comparable GAAP
                                  measure to EBITDA is net earnings.




               (h)               We believe free cash flow from
                                  operations is a useful measure for
                                  investors because it portrays our
                                  ability to generate cash from our
                                  businesses for purposes such as
                                  repaying maturing debt, funding
                                  business acquisitions, repurchasing
                                  our common stock and paying
                                  dividends. We use free cash flow
                                  from operations to assess the
                                  quality of our earnings and as a key
                                  performance measure in evaluating
                                  management. The most directly
                                  comparable GAAP measure to free cash
                                  flow from operations is net cash
                                  provided by operating activities.




               (i)               We believe return on invested capital
                                  (ROIC) is a useful measure for
                                  investors because it reflects our
                                  ability to generate returns from the
                                  capital we have deployed in our
                                  operations. We use ROIC to evaluate
                                  investment decisions and as a
                                  performance measure in evaluating
                                  management. We define ROIC as net
                                  operating profit after taxes divided
                                  by average invested capital. Net
                                  operating profit after taxes is
                                  defined as net earnings plus after-
                                  tax interest and amortization
                                  expense, calculated using the
                                  statutory federal income tax rate.
                                  Average invested capital is defined
                                  as the sum of the average debt and
                                  shareholders' equity excluding
                                  accumulated other comprehensive
                                  loss. ROIC excludes goodwill
                                  impairments and non-economic
                                  accounting changes as they are not
                                  reflective of company performance.
                                  The most directly comparable GAAP
                                  measure to net operating profit
                                  after taxes is net earnings.

                                  We recognize options in backlog

                                  option and establishes a firm
                                  order. For IDIQ contracts, we
                                  evaluate the amount of funding we
                                  expect to receive and include
                                  this amount in our estimated
                                  potential contract value. The
                                  actual amount of funding received
                                  in the future may be higher or
                                  lower than our estimate of
                                  potential contract value.
