"I continue to be encouraged by the strong cash flow generation and the progress we have made to reduce debt. In the first half of the year, we reduced net debt by approximately $1.5 billion, which contributed to a reduction in interest expense of $14.5 million in the second quarter.

The related earnings per share on a diluted basis increased 21 percent to $2.55 from $2.10 a year ago. Sales for the first six months of 2000 were $9.0 billion, an increase of 15 percent, compared with $7.9 billion of sales in the first half of 1999.

Automotive Operations

Second quarter sales in TRW's automotive business declined 12 percent to $2.9 billion, compared with $3.3 billion in the second quarter of 1999. This was due primarily to the disposal of several businesses, including the Lucas Diesel Systems business, which was sold in January January: see month.  of 2000, and by the effect of the strong U.S. dollar. Adjusting for these factors, second quarter sales increased 2 percent, as compared with the prior year. Higher volume resulting from increased automotive production was partially offset by the effect of price reductions.

Total automotive profit before unusual items for the second quarter of 2000 increased to $241.1 million, compared with $238.2 million in the second quarter of 1999. Automotive profit improved 9 percent in the second quarter, excluding the profit related to the divested businesses and the negative effect of the strong U.S. dollar. This improvement was primarily due to improved operational efficiencies, benefits from the company's cost-reduction programs, and an increase in volume, partially offset by the effect of continuing price reductions.

"Our automotive operations had a solid second quarter, reporting an 8.3 percent margin, compared with 7.2 percent last year," David M. Cote David M. Cote is chairman and CEO of Honeywell.

Aerospace and Information Systems

In TRW's aerospace and information systems business, second quarter sales, driven by organic growth, increased 6 percent to $1.6 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 1999. This growth was driven by increased sales to the civil federal marketplace specifically related to the U.S. Census census, periodic official count of the number of persons and their condition and of the resources of a country.

Total aerospace and information systems second quarter profit before unusual items was $141.9 million, which is comparable to the $141.3 million reported in the second quarter of 1999. Second quarter 2000 profit margin was 9.0 percent, compared with 9.5 percent in 1999. The decline in margin was driven primarily by the change in mix of major programs in the space and electronics business from maturing to early-phase programs, as profit levels are typically higher in the later years of space-related programs.
