“2019 continues to progress in line with expectations, and the Aerojet Rocketdyne outlook remains strong," said Eileen Drake, CEO and President of Aerojet Rocketdyne. Through September, year to date sales were flat with the prior year, despite headwind from the anticipated wind down of the AJ-60 program. Excluding the headwind from AJ-60, year to date sales were up 2%. For the quarter, sales of $482 million were down 3%, with two points of headwind from AJ-60, and on a tough compare. “Recall, the third and fourth quarters of 2018 were the highest and lowest sales volume quarters in the year, respectively,” said Drake. “We expect the inverse will be true in 2019, driven by the natural fluctuations in program timing, with the fourth quarter being our highest sales volume quarter of 2019.” Drake added, “Backlog closed at a solid $4.5 billion, up 22% compared with the third quarter of 2018, and the pipeline for our nationally critical space and defense programs is solid.”

Segment performance	65.0				108.0				216.9				209.6
Segment margin	13.5		%		21.7		%		14.9		%		14.4		%
Segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefits, net, and unusual items (Non-GAAP measure)	12.3		%		14.2		%		13.8		%		12.2		%
Components of segment performance:
Aerospace and Defense income	$	59.2			$	70.7			$	201.2			$	176.8
Environmental remediation provision adjustments	(0.8		)		39.9				(1.5		)		37.6
GAAP/Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”) retirement benefits expense difference	6.6				(2.6		)		17.5				(4.8		)
Unusual items	—				—				(0.3		)		—
Aerospace and Defense total	$	65.0			$	108.0			$	216.9			$	209.6

Segment performance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, was significantly impacted by a one-time benefit of $43.0 million as a result of reaching a determination with the U.S. government that certain environmental expenditures are reimbursable.

Third quarter of 2019 compared with third quarter of 2018

The decrease in net sales was primarily due to a decrease of $27.9 million in space programs primarily driven by the RS-68 program partially offset by growth in the RS-25 program. The decline in space programs was partially offset by an increase of $10.7 million in defense programs primarily driven by the Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (“PAC-3”) and Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System (“GMLRS”) programs.

The decrease in segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefits, net and unusual items was primarily driven by lower risk retirements in the current period on the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (“THAAD”), RS-68, and RL-10 programs partially offset by improved performance on the Commercial Crew Development program.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we had $4.0 million of favorable changes in contract estimates on operating results before income taxes compared with favorable changes of $26.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2018

Net sales was comparable with the prior period and impacted by an increase of $58.7 million in defense programs primarily driven by the PAC-3 and Guidance Enhanced Missile (“GEM-T”) programs offset by a decrease of $58.8 million in space programs primarily driven by the RS-68 program and the winding down of the AJ-60 solid rocket motor partially offset by growth in the RS-25 program.

The increase in segment margin before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefits, net and unusual items was primarily driven by improved performance on the Commercial Crew Development program.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had $43.0 million of favorable changes in contract estimates on operating results before income taxes compared with favorable changes of $41.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Net sales and segment performance consist primarily of rental property operations.

Backlog

As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s total remaining performance obligations, also referred to as backlog, were $4.5 billion.

The Company evaluates its operating segments based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is segment performance. Segment performance represents net sales less applicable costs, expenses and provisions for unusual items relating to the segment. Excluded from segment performance are: corporate income and expenses, interest expense, interest income, income taxes, legacy income or expenses, and unusual items not related to the segment. The Company believes that segment performance provides information useful to investors in understanding its underlying operational performance. In addition, the Company provides the Non-GAAP financial measure of its operational performance called segment performance before environmental remediation provision adjustments, retirement benefits, and segment unusual items. The Company believes the exclusion of the items listed above permits an evaluation and a comparison of results for ongoing business operations, and it is on this basis that management internally assesses operational performance.

Use of Unaudited Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to segment performance (discussed above), the Company provides the Non-GAAP financial measures of its performance called Adjusted EBITDAP, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS. The Company uses these metrics to measure its operating and total Company performance. The Company believes that for management and investors to effectively compare core performance from period to period, the metrics should exclude items that are not indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from the ongoing business operations such as retirement benefits (pension and postretirement benefits), significant non-cash expenses, the impacts of financing decisions on earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of business. Accordingly, the Company defines Adjusted EBITDAP as GAAP net income adjusted to exclude interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, retirement benefits net of amounts that are recoverable under the Company's U.S. government contracts, and unusual items which the Company does not believe are reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary activities. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS exclude retirement benefits net of amounts that are recoverable under its U.S. government contracts and unusual items which the Company does not believe are reflective of such ordinary, ongoing and customary activities. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS do not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to, net income or diluted EPS as determined in accordance with GAAP.

The Company also provides the Non-GAAP financial measure of Free Cash Flow. Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation, as a measure of residual cash flow available for discretionary purposes, or as an alternative to cash flows from operations presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company uses Free Cash Flow, both in presenting its results to stakeholders and the investment community, and in the Company’s internal evaluation and management of the business. Management believes that this financial measure is useful because it provides supplemental information to assist investors in viewing the business using the same tools that management uses to evaluate progress in achieving the Company’s goals (including under the annual cash and long-term compensation incentive plans). The following table summarizes Free Cash Flow:

	Three months ended September 30,								Nine months ended September 30,
	2019				2018				2019				2018
	(In millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	65.2			$	72.5			$	96.4			$	97.0
Capital expenditures	(9.4		)		(8.7		)		(16.3		)		(20.9		)
Free Cash Flow (1)	$	55.8			$	63.8			$	80.1			$	76.1

Because the Company's method for calculating these Non-GAAP measures may differ from other companies’ methods, the Non-GAAP measures presented above may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. These measures are not recognized in accordance with GAAP, and the Company does not intend for this information to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures.
