Rockwell Collins, Inc. COL today reported second quarter fiscal year 2015 earnings per share from continuing operations increased 13% to $1.22 compared to $1.08 in the prior year. Total sales for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 were $1.34 billion, a 7% increase from the same period in fiscal year 2014. Cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of fiscal 2015 totaled $132 million, an increase of $54 million compared to the $78 million reported for the first six months last year.
"Our performance in the first half of fiscal 2015 is underscored by another quarter of double digit EPS growth driven by organic sales and earnings growth across all of our businesses," said Rockwell Collins Chief Executive Officer and President, Kelly Ortberg. "Our plan for the year is playing out about as we expected, with air transport OEM sales and aviation connectivity sales continuing to pace our top-line revenue growth. We're also seeing stabilization in U.S. DoD programs and business jet production. As a result, I continue to believe we are well positioned to deliver double-digit earnings per share and cash flow growth for fiscal year 2015."
Following is a discussion of fiscal year 2015 second quarter sales and earnings for each business segment.
Commercial Systems
Commercial Systems, which provides aviation electronics systems, products and services to air transport, business and regional aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide, achieved 2015 second quarter results as summarized below.

Operating earnings | $ | 142 | $ | 127 | 12 | % | ||||||||
Operating margin rate | 22.9 | % | 22.8 | % | 10 bps | |||||||||
- Original equipment sales increased due to improved share of airline selectable equipment, higher customer funded development program sales, and higher OEM production rates.
- Aftermarket sales increased primarily due to higher service and support revenues, increased sales of used aircraft parts, and higher regulatory mandate-related sales.
- Operating earnings increased due to incremental earnings on higher sales volume.
Government Systems
Government Systems provides a broad range of electronic products, systems and services to customers including the U.S. Department of Defense, other government agencies, civil agencies, defense contractors and ministries of defense around the world. Results from the second quarter of 2015 are summarized below.

Operating earnings | $ | 114 | $ | 111 | 3 | % | ||||||||
Operating margin rate | 20.1 | % | 20.0 | % | 10 bps | |||||||||
- Avionics sales increased due to higher hardware deliveries for rotary wing aircraft, higher KC-10 retrofit sales, and higher Joint Strike Fighter simulation and training sales. These increases were partially offset by lower KC-46 development program sales and the foreign currency impact of a stronger U.S. dollar.
- Communication product sales decreased due to lower deliveries of Joint Tactical Radio System Manpack radios partially offset by higher data link development sales.
- Surface solutions sales decreased due to lower development sales for the Common Range Integrated Instrumentation System program.
- Operating earnings increased due to incremental earnings on higher sales volume, partially offset by higher investment in company-funded R&D expense.
Information Management Services
Information Management Services (IMS) enables mission-critical data and voice communications throughout the world to customers including the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), commercial airlines, business aircraft operators, airport and critical infrastructure operators and major passenger and freight railroads. These communications are enabled by the Company's high-performance, high-quality and high-assurance proprietary radio and terrestrial networks, enhancing customer efficiency, safety and connectivity. Results from the second quarter of 2015 are summarized below.

Operating earnings | $ | 22 | $ | 18 | 22 | % | ||||||||
Operating margin rate | 14.2 | % | 12.1 | % | 210 bps | |||||||||
- IMS sales increased primarily due to 10 percent growth in aviation related businesses including GLOBALinkSM and ARINCDirectSM, partially offset by lower sales due to the exit of certain government programs.
- IMS operating earnings and operating margin increased primarily due to the higher sales volume and the absence of certain licensing costs incurred in the prior year.
Corporate and Financial Highlights
Income Taxes
The company's effective income tax rate was
32.4% for the second quarter of 2015 compared to a rate of 31.5% for the
same period last year. The higher effective income tax rate in the
second quarter of 2015 was due primarily to a favorable adjustment
recorded in the second quarter of 2014 that related to the resolution of
the IRS audit for taxable years ended September 30, 2010 and 2011.
Cash Flow
Cash provided by operating activities was $132
million for the first six months of fiscal year 2015, compared to $78
million in the first six months of fiscal year 2014. The increase in
cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to higher
earnings and lower income tax payments, partially offset by other net
working capital changes.
During the second quarter of 2015, the company repurchased 0.7 million shares of common stock at a total cost of $63 million. The company also paid a dividend on its common stock of 30 cents per share, or $40 million, in the second quarter of 2015.
