Summer 2016
Operational / Funding Environment Aerospace sector performance was mixed in 2Q16. After a slow April (34 net orders), Boeing bounced back sharply in May with 113, and dropped to 12 net orders in June. Boeing was hoping to start 3Q with strong momentum from a 109 unit, $25 billion, order from Iran Air, which would mark the biggest business deal between Iran and the U.S. since 1979, but recent House actions have cast doubt on the deal’s viability. Airbus showed more consistency in April and May with 82 and 70 net orders, respectively, but also recorded few bookings in June, with 27. Somewhat paradoxically, this strong net order performance, which augments each company’s record backlog, has led to concern increased production demand will further strain the supplier base. Softening emerging market economies, particularly in China, have resulted in the lowest global passenger demand growth rate since late 2014. Similarly, the recent United Kingdom exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) is expected to slow European GDP growth which is likely to deleteriously impact France-based Airbus, and, to a lesser degree, Boeing. Affected by the combination of these factors, near-term sector outlook remains tepid despite record airline profitability, as well as aforementioned Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEM”) performance. OEMs entered the mid-July Farnborough Air Show hoping for an uptick in bookings for the remainder of the year to mitigate the relatively weak year-to-date (“YTD”) book-to-bill performance of roughly 0.6x – 0.7x.
In the defense sector, the House and Senate have each approved versions of the 2017 National Defense Authorization Act (“NDAA”), allocating Federal funds to the base defense and war spending budgets. The House passed a $576 billion defense spending bill which proposes an $18 billion transfer from the Overseas Contingency Operations (“OCO”) budget to the base budget, while the Senate passed a $602 billion bill that proposes aggressive acquisition reforms, including replacing the Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer’s office with two new defense undersecretaries for innovation and acquisition management. In line with the Pentagon’s request, both versions of the NDAA include increased research and development spending, a portion of which will fund the Third Offset Strategy, including an effort to make high-tech artificial intelligence a key weapon in the U.S.’s future warfare arsenal (previously discussed in our spring 2016 MarketView). The primary difference between the versions lies in the treatment of acquisition reform and funding structure. The bill will now be debated in conference, finalized, and sent to the White House for approval at the end of Government Fiscal Year (“GFY”) 2016. President Obama, however, has already informed Congress that he plans to veto the bill if changes are not made to the House’s proposed diversion of funds from OCO and the Senate’s proposed acquisition reforms. Though the Bipartisan Budget Act expires in GFY2017, defense funding is expected to remain relatively consistent, leading to reduced uncertainty and a positive near-term outlook.
The recent government technology solutions operational and contracting environment has been very active, evidenced by a number of prominent multi-billion dollar information technology (“IT”) contract vehicles that were awarded thus far in 2016 or are expected to be awarded in the second half of the year. Notably, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) recently awarded its 10-year, $25 billion IT services contract, Strategic Partners Acquisition Readiness Contract (“SPARC”). Of the 81 companies that won spots on SPARC, 54 are classified as set-aside and 27 as unrestricted. The General Services Administration (“GSA”) and the Office of Personnel Management (“OPM”) also recently awarded an $11.5 billion Human Capital and Training Solutions (“HCaTS”) contract to 109 businesses. Both SPARC and HCaTS are currently under protest. In addition to the large contracts already awarded this year, there are a number of high-profile contracts currently in the request-for-proposals (“RFPs”) stage and scheduled for award or release later this year. Specifically, GSA’s $50 billion Alliant 2 and $50 billion Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (“EIS”), Defense Logistics Agency’s $6 billion J6 Enterprise Technology Services, and the Army’s $15 billion IT Enterprise Solutions 3. Given the number of sizable contracts expected to be awarded this year, it is likely that many of the awardees will be some of the best positioned companies for successful growth over the next five to 10 years.

Capital Markets and Public Market Valuation Trends
After finishing the first quarter down 9.7%, aerospace stocks regained some ground in the second quarter, down 5.4% YTD through June 30th. After 12 months of decline, sector valuations appear to be stabilizing at approximately 8.0x NTM EBITDA. That said, the “cautious optimism” observed across the sector last quarter continued and may be shifting more towards the “cautious” end of the spectrum. While airlines reported record profits, industry reports show airline passenger demand growth slowed to a ~15 month low and load factors slipped slightly. Bombardier was the index’s biggest winner both for the quarter (up 46.8%) and YTD (up 54.8%). Performance drivers include two significant orders for its C Series jets (up to 75 from Air Canada in February and up to 125 from Delta in late April), EASA and FAA certifications for its CS100 in June, as well as continued discussion with the Canadian government to match Quebec’s $1 billion investment. Another big mover was Zodiac Aerospace; the company battled back from a 16.0% first quarter loss after rumors of a takeover bid from Safran surfaced. Embraer’s woes continued into the second quarter, down 26.5% on the year after reporting weak profits, shuttering its China factory due to lack of demand, and the emergence of corruption and money laundering allegations
against the soon-to-be ex-CEO.
Defense primes showed continued strength and formidable resilience, extending the Q1 rally to finish up 15.0% YTD while posting gains throughout the Brexit-induced turmoil. Valuations in the sector also continued their ascent from 10.7x last quarter to 11.1x. Except for a brief period following 9/11, sector valuations have reached a 20 year high. This positive momentum is largely attributable to the sector’s ability to generate consistent earnings, raise guidance, and return cash to shareholders. The strongest performer in the group, both during the quarter and YTD was L-3, up 22.7% on the year. This run-up was fueled by L-3’s portfolio and balance sheet reshaping activities (e.g., NSS divestiture, redemption of $300 million of debt, various strategic M&A initiatives, heightened focus on profitability) and a significant contract award ($1.9 billion contract to provide KC/KDC-10 aerial refueling tanker aircraft logistics support to the U.S. Air Force and the Netherlandic government until 2025). Northrop Grumman also posted big gains in the quarter, up 17.7% YTD, after Congress began discussions on possibly doubling future B-21 bomber purchases.
Government technology solutions stocks showed mixed results, falling 6.6% in 2Q16, resulting in a 2.1% loss YTD. CACI shares fell 15.2% due, at least in part, to weak 2017 guidance and a denied award protest. Despite similar headwinds, industry valuations hit multi-year highs, closing out 2Q16 at 9.9x, above the 9.7x high set in 4Q15. ManTech and Vectrus reported strong earnings supported by robust bookings and increased revenue visibility. ManTech shares rose 10.6% following its earnings announcement containing its highest quarterly book-to-bill ratio since 2008. Shares ended 2Q16 up 18.1%, fueled by its first quarterly revenue growth since 2011 and 2.1% share appreciation in the week following its acquisition of the Ocean’s Edge cyber business. Vectrus shares climbed 25.2% as it continued to deliver on its announced organic growth strategy. Modifications on Europe and Middle East contracts lengthened periods of performance and increased a strong funded backlog of $1.0 billion as well as cash flow visibility.

M&A Trends & Activity
A total of 52 deals were announced in the aerospace, defense, and government technology solutions sectors in 2Q16, 31 fewer than in 2Q15. Of these transactions, 16 were in aerospace, 25 were in defense, and 11 were in government technology solutions.
Aerospace and defense M&A activity in 2Q16 declined from 2Q15 – 41 deals compared to 64 during the same time period last year. Aerospace acquisition volume has seen a slowdown in activity over the last six months, as weakened global economies have hurt industry performance and dampened near-term prospects. Aerospace M&A activity was slower than last year across the board. Despite continued favorable debt market conditions and robust OEM backlogs, 2016 is likely to mark the first decline in aerospace M&A transaction volume after four years of dramatic increases.
Defense electronics dominated the overall defense M&A landscape, accounting for over 60% of the sector’s 25 2Q16 transactions. Representative deals include Smiths Group Plc.’s purchase of Morpho Detection, Inc., a manufacturer of detection systems for explosives, nuclear, and other materials, and TransDigm Group’s acquisition of Data Device Corporation, a provider of power control and data bus products to the military. Divestiture activity remains core to the portfolio strategy of industry players, especially among defense firms looking to prune underperforming divisions in the face of low margins. The nine announced divestitures in 2Q16 accounted for ~25% of defense transactions, in line with last year’s tally during the same period. Notable divestitures in 2Q16 include HanWha Techwin Co., Ltd.’s acquisition of Doosan DST Co., Ltd., a provider of armored vehicles, air defense systems, and land and sea-based launchers, from Doosan Investment Portfolio Holdings and Silverfleet Capital’s acquisition of Sigma Precision Components Ltd., a manufacturer of precision components for aerospace and high technology markets, from Avingtrans PLC.
Government technology solutions deal activity through the first half of 2016 is slightly below pace from 2014 and 2015, with 35 transactions YTD. Confidence in the sector remains high, as budget and funding visibility continues to drive strong public valuations and an emphasis on strategically focused acquisitions. Industry stability has been a key driver of the transactions consummated in the sector, as evidenced by deals such as KBR’s $600 million acquisition of Wyle. M&A focus on cybersecurity and intelligence solutions remains strong, accounting for nearly 42% of transactions in 2Q16. These deals, often driven by firms’ desire to acquire strategic capabilities, include the recent acquisition of The Van Dyke Technology Group by Jacobs Engineering. Priority funding areas, such as Health IT (“HIT”), also saw sustained M&A activity, and with the recent announcement of 81 awarded companies under CMS SPARC, it is likely to see even more as buyers seek strategic customer access through established platforms with strong past performance. Furthermore, the trend of large transactions and divestitures seen in 2015 continues to shake up the industry landscape, most recently with the announcement of the merger between Hewlett Packard Enterprise (“HPE”) and CSC (CSC having recently spun off its government services side in a merger with SRA). With CSC contractually prohibited from competing against CSRA for Federal contracts, HPE’s $3 billion public sector business may be a divestiture candidate, driving continued industry consolidation.

Defense Update
Potential U.S. Rocket Replacements
Senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Bill Nelson (D-FL) have reached an agreement over the heavily disputed Russian RD-180 rocket engine. The two parties compromised both in limiting the number of engines the military can use to 18 and in setting December 31, 2022 as the cutoff date for further use. McCain’s initial call for a total ban on the military’s use of Russian engines was a reflection of a broader effort to end dependence on these engines and spur competition for a home-grown solution. Earlier this year, the U.S. Air Force awarded an $804 million contract to Aerojet Rocketdyne and United Launch Alliance in order to develop domestic-made rocket-booster engines. Orbital ATK and SpaceX were also awarded contracts to develop rocket engine prototypes. Critics in the Senate were pleased with the agreement, as it assures the U.S. will still be able to launch satellites into space, and also provides time for defense contractors to develop a capable replacement.
The Satellite Revolution
Behind the leadership of American entrepreneur Greg Wyler and Airbus Group SE, the satellite industry could be on the brink of revolution. While satellite manufacturing has long been costly and bogged down due to its dependence on highly customized, by-hand production, Wyler and Airbus hope to reverse this trend through their joint venture, OneWeb. The joint venture plans to open an automated microsatellite manufacturing facility next to Florida’s Kennedy Space Center launch facility in order to construct hundreds of 300 pound satellites per year. OneWeb’s satellites will utilize far fewer electrical connections between subsystems than typical contemporary satellites, which will allow significantly reduced production costs. The initial production of 648 satellites, with the potential to grow to 900, is planned to be completed and launched into low-earth orbit by 2018. In partnership with Airbus, OneWeb aims to provide affordable, global internet coverage.
Boeing Defense – Revenue by Segment(1)
($ in billions)
As orders for its F-15 and F/A-18 fighter jets have dwindled, some are beginning to question Boeing’s ability to remain a leading military jet fighter manufacturer. In a recent report, Leanne Caret, head of Boeing Defense, noted the company’s production of fighter aircraft is unlikely to last beyond the early 2020s. However, while Boeing has begun exploring other business opportunities, such as unmanned systems, satellites, and space travel, company leadership remains optimistic about its long term position in the combat aircraft industry. CEO Dennis Muilenburg has reasserted Boeing’s intention to remain a key market player for years to come, as the company will look towards more maintenance and upgrade work in order to support F-15s and F/A-18s.

Aerospace Update
C Series Timeline of Events
Canada-based Bombardier’s C Series aircraft has been through many highs and lows since the program was announced in 2004. Before receiving a $1 billion commitment from the Quebec Government in October 2015, the program had difficulty receiving orders, struggled with delays, and had substantial write-downs. Since then, the program has built momentum, receiving major orders from Delta Airlines and Air Canada this year for up to 125 and 75 aircraft, respectively. Although the program has had positive traction recently, the Premier of Quebec, Philippe Couillard, believes it still needs additional financial support to reach full potential. As a result, he is urging Canada’s Federal Government, which is in negotiations with Bombardier, to provide its own $1 billion investment. Couillard believes the program is currently the country’s largest and most important innovation project.
Commercial Aviation Funding Growth(1)
Due to strong industry performance and robust demand for new, fuel efficient aircraft, commercial aviation financing is expected to grow significantly from $127 billion this year to $172 billion by 2020(1). This growth is also underpinned by the access to cheap credit for lessors and airlines. From a lessor perspective, low interest rates and a narrow risk spreads, coupled with an inflow of new lenders, has increased competition and reduced financing costs. As a result, much of the funding from the historically-cheap credit markets is expected to flow to lessors, as they are estimated to support roughly 40% of new aircraft deliveries this year(1). From the airlines’ perspectives, access to cheap credit coupled with low oil prices has improved profitability and driven aging fleet replacements. Overall, strength in funding is expected to continue in the near term, with both lessors and airlines benefiting from advantageous market conditions.
OEMs Ramping up Production Rates
By 2025, commercial aircraft annual production levels are expected to increase an estimated 30%(2). A large driving force of this growth is the ramp up in production from large OEMs such as Boeing and Airbus, which have maintained fairly consistent production rates over the past three years. For example, Boeing’s 737 and Airbus’ A320 are expected to increase monthly production rates from the current 42 and 46 aircraft, to 57 and 60 aircraft, respectively, by 2019. This rapid growth is creating strains on the supply chain as suppliers are required to drastically increase the production of systems, components, and services to meet the increased demand. As a result, further consolidation of the aerospace supply chain is expected to occur, as smaller companies find it more difficult to compete and larger companies look to gain greater economies of scale.

Government Technology Solutions Update
Government Technology Solutions Earnings(1)
Despite mixed stock performance in 2Q16, government technology solutions companies reported generally positive earnings, marked by strong organic growth and ongoing portfolio shaping, to include high-profile divestitures. On average, companies beat estimates by 7.5% and improved quarterly Earnings-per-Share (“EPS”) by 22.8%. Of note, CACI and SAIC beat EPS projections by 7.4% and 7.5%, respectively, after posting strong year-over-year growth. SAIC’s growth was organic, driven by awards at GSA and the U.S. Navy worth over $1.2 billion combined. Additionally, CACI’s capability expansion through its February acquisition of L-3’s services business has led to key contract wins, including a $445 million satellite control network operations contract with the U.S. Air Force.
SPARC vs. ESD Comparison
CMS recently announced the list of 81 awardees to its 10-year, $25 billion IT services contract. The large number of awardees is much expanded from CMS’s predecessor $4 billion Enterprise Systems Development (“ESD”) contract, which was awarded to 16 companies in September of 2007, with eight classified as large business and eight classified as set-aside. Both contracts were created to help modernize CMS’ services through strategic technical and program management support; however, SPARC marks a meaningful shift in the competitive contracting landscape at CMS. While SPARC boasts a $25 billion value, the broader contractor pool may likely increase the overall competitiveness for task orders amongst awardees. Despite the uncertainty in SPARC’s value as an M&A catalyst compared to ESD, HIT capabilities and customer access remain priority focus areas for acquirers in the marketplace.
18F Timeline
GSA Agile 18F has seen significant growth since its launch in January 2015. The program has grown to over 180 government personnel, and has initiated 115 projects with 25 different agencies over the past 12 months. 18F recently awarded True Tandem the first agile task order under the BPA, a $150,000 award to build a dashboard for FedRAMP. However, this rapid growth has not occurred without road blocks. The Government Accountability Administration (“GAO”) found that despite rapid revenue growth, 18F’s expenses are heavily outpacing income, leading to a $15 million shortfall. Further, recent Federal reports cited security concerns involving 18F projects within their systems. While resolving these issues is essential to maintain 18F’s long-term viability, government officials remain optimistic, as GAO surveys reveal satisfaction with 18F project performance.
