:COL) today reported net income of $143 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 ended on December 31, 2006, an increase of $39 million, or 38% over fiscal year 2006 first quarter net income of $104 million. Earnings per share improved 25 cents, or 42%, to 84 cents compared to earnings per share of 59 cents last year. Earnings per share growth exceeded the growth rate in net income due to the favorable effect of the company's share repurchase Share Repurchase

 program.

First quarter fiscal year 2007 sales increased $112 million, or 13%, to $993 million compared to sales of $881 million a year ago. Organic revenue growth was $88 million, or 10%. Incremental sales from business acquisitions completed in fiscal year 2006, principally the Evans & Sutherland simulator visualization systems business (the E&S business) acquired in May 2006, contributed $24 million, or 3 percentage points of the total revenue growth. First quarter cash provided by operating activities totaled $81 million compared to $57 million last year.

"Our first quarter results reflect another great start to a new fiscal year as strong demand for our products, systems and services generated double-digit revenue growth, led by a 21% increase in Commercial Systems sales," said Rockwell Collins Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Clay Jones. "Our highly integrated business model continued to act as a strategically important lever in enabling us to deliver productivity gains, demonstrated by a 240 basis point improvement in total segment operating margin Operating Margin

 as well as earnings per share growth that significantly outpaced revenue growth."

On December 20, 2006, legislation was enacted that extended the availability of federal research and development (R&D) tax credits through the end of calendar year 2007 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2006. As a result, fiscal year 2007 first quarter earnings per share includes an 8 cent per share income tax benefit related to the recognition of R&D tax credits attributable to the period from January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006.

Commenting on the company's outlook for the full 2007 fiscal year, Jones noted, "Stronger than planned first quarter financial performance from our Commercial Systems business, coupled with expectations for continued overall favorable market conditions for the remainder of the fiscal year, have allowed us to raise our expectations for full year Commercial Systems' sales and operating margins, as well as total company sales and earnings per share."

Following is a discussion of fiscal year 2007 first quarter sales and earnings for each business segment.

Government Systems

Government Systems, which provides aviation electronics, navigation and precision guidance, communications and simulation systems, products and services to the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America. The United States is the world's third largest country in population and the fourth largest country in area.  government, foreign militaries and manufacturers of military platforms, achieved first quarter sales of $501 million, an increase of $28 million, or 6%, compared to the $473 million reported for the same period last year. Incremental sales from acquired businesses, primarily the E&S business, contributed $14 million, or 3 percentage points of the revenue growth. Organic revenue growth of 3% was driven by double-digit growth from defense advanced GPS receivers (DAGRs), open systems architecture and transformational defense communications programs, partially offset by anticipated lower simulation and training and legacy defense electronics sales.

Defense electronics systems and products sales increased $7 million, or 2%, to $349 million principally due to higher sales from incremental revenues of acquired businesses, DAGRs, and various rotary wing aircraft electronics systems programs, which were almost entirely offset by lower sales from simulation and training programs as well as certain European programs that are nearing completion. Defense communications sales increased $21 million, or 16%, to $152 million primarily due to higher revenues from Joint Tactical Radio System and other advanced communication development programs.

 totaled $102 million, resulting in an operating margin of 20.4%, compared to operating earnings of $93 million, or an operating margin of 19.7%, for the same period last year. The improved operating earnings and operating margin were principally due to the combination of net favorable contract profit rate adjustments, productivity improvements and lower retirement benefit costs, partially offset by higher company-funded research and development costs.

Commercial Systems

Commercial Systems, which provides aviation electronics systems, products and services to air transport, business and regional aircraft manufacturers and airlines worldwide, achieved first quarter sales of $492 million, an increase of $84 million, or 21%, compared to sales of $408 million reported for the same period last year. Incremental sales from the E&S business contributed $10 million of the revenue growth, while strong demand for new business and air transport aircraft and aftermarket activities drove an 18% increase in organic revenues.

Sales to airlines and aircraft original equipment manufacturers for new aircraft production increased $35 million, or 17%, to $237 million primarily due to higher air transport and business jet avionics product and systems sales, partially offset by lower in-flight entertainment In-flight entertainment (IFE) refers to the entertainment available to aircraft passengers during a flight. After World War II commercial aviation flights became a daily event in which entertainment was requested by passengers to help the time pass.  systems sales. Commercial Systems' aftermarket revenues increased $49 million, or 24%, to $255 million. Organic aftermarket revenues grew $39 million, or 19%, as air transport avionics, in-flight entertainment and business and regional aftermarket revenues each achieved a double-digit rate of organic growth, with particular strength in business and regional and in-flight entertainment retrofits and spares. Incremental E&S business revenues accounted for $10 million, or 5 percentage points of the aftermarket growth.

Commercial Systems' first quarter operating earnings increased $36 million, or 46%, to $114 million, delivering an operating margin of 23.2%, compared to operating earnings of $78 million, or an operating margin of 19.1%, for the same period a year ago. The increase in operating earnings and operating margin was primarily due to the combination of higher organic revenues, productivity improvements, lower retirement benefit costs, and lower research and development costs as a percent of sales, partially offset by certain unfavorable contract reserve adjustments.

Fiscal Year 2007 Outlook

The company has adjusted certain elements of its full fiscal year 2007 financial guidance as follows:

* Total company sales are projected to be in the range of $4.25 billion to $4.3 billion (previously $4.2 billion to $4.3 billion).

* Earnings per share are expected to be in the range of $3.25 to $3.35 (previously $3.10 to $3.20).

* Commercial Systems' full year sales are projected to increase by 13% to 15% (previously 12% to 14%) over fiscal year 2006 sales.

* Commercial Systems' segment operating margin is expected to be about 22% (previously in the range of 21% to 22%).

* The effective income tax rate is expected to be about 31% (previously in the range of 31.5% to 32%).

(1) The company's effective income tax rate for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was 26.7% compared to 32.0% for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was principally due to the recognition of R&D tax credits that were attributable to the period from January 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 as a result of legislation enacted on December 20, 2006 extending the availability of federal research and development tax credits through the end of calendar year 2007 with retroactive effect from January 1, 2006.
