WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE: RTN) today announced net sales for the third quarter 2016 of $6.0 billion, up 4 percent compared to $5.8 billion in the third quarter 2015.

Third quarter 2016 EPS from continuing operations was $1.79 compared to $1.47 in the third quarter 2015. Third quarter 2016 EPS from continuing operations included a favorable FAS/CAS Adjustment of $0.23 compared to a favorable FAS/CAS Adjustment of $0.09 in the third quarter 2015.

"The Company's strong operating performance in the third quarter reflects our continued focus on driving global growth and creating value for our customers and shareholders," said Thomas A. Kennedy, Raytheon Chairman and CEO.

Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the third quarter 2016 was $0.6 billion compared to $1.1 billion for the third quarter 2015. Operating cash flow from continuing operations in the third quarter 2016 was lower than the third quarter 2015, as expected, primarily due to the timing of collections and payments. Year-to-date operating cash flow from continuing operations was $1.7 billion in 2016 versus $1.5 billion for the comparable period in 2015. The increase in operating cash flow from continuing operations in 2016 was primarily due to the timing of cash taxes.

Integrated Defense Systems (IDS) had third quarter 2016 net sales of $1,334 million compared to $1,417 million in the third quarter 2015. The change in net sales for the quarter was primarily driven by lower net sales on various radar production programs and on an international communications program due to scheduled completion of certain production phases on these programs.

IDS recorded $209 million of operating income in the third quarter 2016 compared to $198 million in the third quarter 2015. The increase in operating income for the quarter was primarily driven by higher net program efficiencies, partially offset by lower volume in the third quarter 2016.

During the quarter, IDS booked $265 million to provide advanced Patriot air and missile defense capabilities for an international customer. IDS also booked $92 million for the Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) phase on the competitively awarded Enterprise Air Surveillance Radar (EASR) program for the U.S. Navy.

Forcepoint (FP) had third quarter 2016 net sales of $149 million, up 31 percent compared to $114 million in the third quarter 2015.

FP recorded $19 million of operating income in the third quarter 2016 compared to $20 million in the third quarter 2015. The decrease in operating margin for the quarter was primarily due to a change in product mix and an increase in commissions expense due to higher bookings.
