FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --

  • Revenue of $9.6 billion, up 4% year-over-year
  • Diluted earnings per share of $2.77, up 5.7% year-over-year
  • Gulfstream G600 achieves FAA certification

General Dynamics GD today reported second-quarter 2019 revenue of $9.6 billion, up 4 percent year-over-year, with net earnings of $806 million. Diluted earnings per share were $2.77, an increase of 5.7 percent year-over-year.

Operating margins increased sequentially by 50 basis points over the previous quarter to 11.4 percent. In June, the all-new Gulfstream G600 earned both its type and production certificates from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

"Our second-quarter results reflect our relentless focus on driving down costs and improving performance," said Phebe Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. "That focus on performance remains unwavering as we ramp up production of new aircraft, begin construction of both a new block and new class of submarines, and solidify our market-leading position in Information Technology."

Backlog
General Dynamics' total backlog at the end of second-quarter 2019 was $67.7 billion. Estimated potential contract value, representing management's estimate of value in unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options, was $34.2 billion. Total estimated contract value, the sum of all backlog components, was $101.9 billion, up 3 percent year-over-year.

Order activity remained strong across the aerospace and defense portfolios. Aerospace booked $2.2 billion in orders in the quarter, a 1-to-1 book-to-bill on 12.7 percent year-over-year revenue growth. Significant awards in defense portfolios in the quarter included $495 million from the U.S. Navy for industrial base development and expansion in support of the Columbia-class ballistic missile submarine program, $360 million in contracts to provide intelligence services to classified customers, $270 million from the Navy to support the joint U.S. and U.K. development of the submarine Common Missile Compartment and $260 million from the U.S. Army for production of munitions. Information Technology posted a strong book-to-bill of 1.2-to-1, driven by a $1 billion U.S. Department of State contract to provide global engineering and supply chain services.

Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of the end of the period.

Debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as total debt divided by the sum of total debt plus total equity as of the end of the period.

Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of the end of the period. 



(d)

Includes independent research and development and Aerospace product-development costs.



(e)

We believe earnings before interest, 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. 



(f)

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.

The estimated potential contract value includes work awarded on unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options associated with existing firm contracts, including options and other agreements with existing customers to purchase new aircraft and aircraft services. We recognize options in backlog when the customer exercises the 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.
