According to BTN's estimate, Northrop Grumman's 2016
U.S.-booked air volume increased 3 percent year over year to $110 million. The
defense contractor and global security company's sales revenue increased 4
percent year over year by $982 million, owing to higher sales in both its
aerospace systems and missions systems businesses. Operating income also
increased 4 percent, owing to a $137 million reduction in unallocated corporate
expenses and to higher sales volume. Operating costs increased 2 percent to
$21.3 billion. At the end of 2016, Northrop Grumman's backlog, an indicator of
demand, totaled $45.3 billion, a 26 percent year-over-year increase, of which
$18.3 billion is expected to turn into 2017 sales revenue. The company employed
67,000 at the end of 2016, up 2,000 employees from the previous year.
