INFO on the ITT Spin-Off: On January 12, 2011, ITT Corporation (ITT) announced a plan to separate its Defense and Information Solutions
(now ITT Exelis) segment from the remainder of its businesses. On May 4, 2011, ITT Exelis was incorporated in Indiana and the spin-off from ITT Corporation
was completed on October 31, 2011. According to Exelis, the spin-off has allowed the company to improve strategic planning, increase management
focus and streamline decision-making by providing the flexibility to implement unique strategic plans and to respond more effectively to customer needs
and the changing economic environment.
Exelis Inc. was incorporated in Indiana on May 4, 2011 and is headquartered in McLean, Virginia. The name of the company was changed from
ITT DCO, Inc. to Exelis Inc. on July 14, 2011.
ITT Exelis operates in two principal business segments:
• C4ISR Electronics and Systems
• Information and Technical Services.
The following table highlights ITT Exelis' sales from 2010 to 2012 by segment:
A description of the business of each of the company's segments is set forth below.
The C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment had revenues of $2.5B, $2.8B and $3.6B and operating income of $350M, $385M and $563M
for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and accounted for 45%, 48%, and 61%, respectively, of total revenues.
Revenue from the C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment was $2,487M in 2012, a decline of $330M or 11.7% as compared to 2011.
The decrease in revenue was primarily due to volume declines in surge-related products, including Night Vision products
of approximately $175M, SINCGARS products of approximately $173M, and Counter RCIED Electronic Warfare (CREW) 2.1 and special purpose jammer products
of approximately $36M. The decrease in revenue was partially offset by higher revenue from the sales of Exelis' Band C Upgrade kits for legacy CREW products
of approximately $82M and the company's other counter–IED systems of approximately $24M.
Operating income at the C4ISR Electronics and Systems segment decreased $35M or 9.1% in 2012, compared to 2011.
Operating income as a percentage of revenue was 14.1% in 2012 as compared to 13.7% in 2011.
The increase in operating margin was primarily due to lower R&D and SG&A expenses as a percentage of product revenue,
partially offset by higher cost of product revenue as a percentage of product revenue.
