Raytheon Reports Strong Fourth Quarter 2004 EPS of $0.54 from Continuing Operations

 

    Sales increase of 12 percent for the quarter and year

 

    Free cash flow from continuing operations of $712 million in the quarter and $1.5 billion for the year

 

    Net debt of $4.6 billion; reduction of $2.1 billion for year

 

WALTHAM, Mass., (Feb. 3, 2005) – Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) reported fourth quarter 2004 income from continuing operations of $246 million or $0.54 per diluted share compared to $217 million or $0.52 per diluted share in the fourth quarter 2003. Non-cash pension expense (FAS/CAS Pension Adjustment) negatively affected the fourth quarter 2004 by $0.13 per diluted share on a year-over-year basis.

 

Income from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2004 and 2003 included a net after-tax charge of $13 million and $14 million, respectively. The net charge in the fourth quarter 2004 consisted of an after-tax $55 million charge ($85 million pretax) from the early redemption of debt and a $42 million benefit from the change in the tax law which extends the carry forward period of foreign tax credits. The net charge in the fourth quarter 2003 consisted of an after-tax $50 million charge ($77 million pretax) from the early redemption of debt and an after-tax $36 million gain ($55 million pretax) from the sale of the Company’s remaining investment in its former aviation support business.

 

Fourth quarter 2004 net income, including the effects of discontinued operations, was $245 million or $0.54 per diluted share compared to $205 million or $0.49 per diluted share in 2003.

 

Net sales for the fourth quarter 2004 were $5.7 billion, up 12 percent from $5.1 billion in the comparable period in 2003. Government and Defense sales for the quarter (after the elimination of intercompany sales) increased 12 percent to $4.7 billion from $4.2 billion in the comparable quarter.


Free cash flow from continuing operations for the fourth quarter was $712 million versus $906 million for the comparable period in 2003. Free cash flow is defined by the Company as operating cash flow less capital spending and internal use software spending.

 

During the fourth quarter of 2004, the Company retired $1.2 billion of debt, bringing the total year debt reduction to $2.2 billion. Net debt was $4.6 billion at the end of 2004 compared with $6.7 billion at the end of 2003. Net debt is defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents.

 

“In 2004 we said we would focus on predictable performance, strong relationships, and innovative customer solutions. We did what we said we were going to do and then some,” said William H. Swanson, Raytheon Chairman and CEO. “This is our fifth consecutive quarter of predictable financial performance. Our focus on the customer is paying dividends and more importantly, we continue to build on the trust and confidence they have in Raytheon which is reflected in our growth.”

 

Full Year Financial Results

 

For the full year the Company reported income from continuing operations of $439 million or $0.99 per diluted share compared to $535 million or $1.29 per diluted share in 2003. Income from continuing operations in 2004 was negatively affected by an after-tax charge of $222 million or $0.50 per diluted share for the second quarter settlement of a class action shareholder lawsuit. Non-cash pension expense negatively affected 2004 results by $0.75 per diluted share versus $0.18 per diluted share in 2003. Income from continuing operations in 2003 included third quarter after-tax charges of $158 million ($226 million pretax) or $0.38 per diluted share from Network Centric Systems and Technical Services.

 

The Company reported 2004 net income of $417 million or $0.94 per diluted share compared to $365 million or $0.88 per diluted share in 2003. Net income for 2004 included a $63 million after-tax loss in discontinued operations or $0.14 per diluted share, versus $170 million or $0.41 per diluted share in 2003. Net income for 2004 also included a previously reported first quarter $41 million or $0.09 per diluted share benefit from a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle due to the change in the Company’s pension and other post-retirement benefit plans measurement date from Oct. 31 to Dec. 31.


Total 2004 net sales for the Company were $20.2 billion compared to $18.1 billion for 2003, an increase of 12 percent. Government and Defense sales for the year (after the elimination of intercompany sales) increased 11 percent to $17.2 billion from $15.5 billion in 2003.

 

Free cash flow from continuing operations was $1.5 billion in 2004 compared to $1.6 billion in 2003. Free cash flow, including discontinued operations, for the full year 2004 was $1.4 billion versus $1.0 billion in 2003.

 

Bookings and Backlog

 

The Government and Defense businesses recorded fourth quarter bookings of $4.2 billion and bookings for the full year 2004 of $21.9 billion. Government and Defense ended 2004 with a backlog of $29.6 billion, an increase of $4.5 billion over year end 2003.

 

Raytheon Aircraft Company’s bookings were $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of both 2004 and 2003. Full year 2004 bookings were $3.1 billion versus $2.2 billion for 2003.

 

Outlook

 

The Company reaffirmed its guidance for 2005 earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.80 - $1.90. This guidance includes higher pension expense attributable to a lower discount rate offset by expected profit improvements in 2005. Charts containing the Company’s guidance are available on the Company’s website at www.raytheon.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Fourth Quarter 2004

 

Free cash flow is a “non-GAAP” financial measure under SEC regulations. The Company defines free cash flow as operating cash flow less capital spending and internal use software spending. Our definition may differ from similarly titled measures used by others. The Company uses free cash flow to facilitate management’s internal comparisons to the Company’s historical operating results and to competitors’ operating results and as an element of management incentive compensation. The Company believes disclosure of free cash flow performance provides investors greater transparency with respect to information used by management in its financial and operational decision making. While this information may be useful in evaluating the Company, it should be considered supplemental to and not as a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
