Second quarter revenue increased 5.0% versus prior year and 6.2% on an organic basis, with solid growth across key end-markets as well as growth in all four segments. At the segment level, organic revenue was driven by Integrated Mission Systems and Aviation Systems, up 12% and 4.7%, respectively, and 3.2% growth in both Communication Systems and Space and Airborne Systems. Funded book-to-bill2 was 1.00 for the quarter and 1.05 for the first half.

Second quarter net income margin expanded 250 bps and adjusted EBIT margin expanded 40 bps to 18.6% versus prior year. GAAP EPS increased 55% versus prior year driven by higher volume, operational excellence, integration benefits and a lower share count, along with net divestiture-related gains and lower acquisition-related amortization, partially offset by an increase in asset impairment charges and higher internal investments. Non-GAAP EPS increased 15% versus prior year driven by higher volume, operational excellence, integration benefits and a lower share count, more than offsetting the impact from higher internal investments.

Second quarter revenue increased 12% from strong growth in ISR, driven by aircraft missionization on a recently awarded NATO program, and in Maritime from a ramp on key platforms, partially offset by a decline in Electro Optical due to product delivery timing. Second quarter operating income increased 2.2% to $229 million, and operating margin contracted 150 bps to 15.3% versus prior year as cost management, operational excellence and integration benefits were more than offset by mix impacts, including a ramp on growth programs.

Segment funded book-to-bill was 0.81 and 1.06 for the quarter and first half, respectively.

ISR award activity continued with over $350 million in orders for advanced capabilities across incumbent platforms, including the Rivet Joint reconnaissance, National Command Authority and classified aircraft, further strengthening the companys position as a partner of choice with the U.S. Air Force.

In Maritime, the company received several key awards that strengthen its position as a leading provider of global maritime solutions, including:

More than $100 million in awards for sensors and shipboard systems on the U.S. Navys Virginia and Columbia-class submarines, increasing inception-to-date awards on the platforms to more than $700 million

$60 million award to provide engineering support for the Medium Unmanned Surface Vehicle, a key platform in the U.S. Navys distributed maritime operations strategy and with significant follow-on opportunity

More than $50 million contract to provide imaging systems on a submarine from a customer in Europe

Within Electro Optical, WESCAM sensor demand remained strong and included a sole-source IDIQ contract for up to $96 million in support of the U.S. Special Operations Commands Improved Rotary-wing Electro-optical/Infra-red Sensor program. The company also reinforced its international position with over $75 million in orders for airborne sensor systems from customers primarily in the European and Asia Pacific regions.
