NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE:HII) reported second quarter 2022 revenues of $2.7 billion, up 19.3% from the second quarter of 2021, primarily driven by revenue attributable to the acquisition of Alion Science and Technology (Alion) in the third quarter of 2021, as well as growth at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2022 was $191 million and operating margin was 7.2%, compared to $128 million and 5.7%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021. The increases in operating income and operating margin were primarily driven by higher segment operating income^1, as well as more favorable non-current state income taxes and a more favorable operating FAS/CAS adjustment compared to the prior year.
Segment operating income^1 in the second quarter of 2022 was $225 million and segment operating margin^1 was 8.5%, compared to $169 million and 7.6%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2021. The increases in segment operating income^1 and segment operating margin^1 were driven by improved results across all three divisions compared to the prior year.
Net earnings in the quarter were $178 million, compared to $129 million in the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $4.44, compared to $3.20 in the second quarter of 2021.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter was $267 million and free cash flow^1 was $208 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $96 million and free cash flow^1 of $23 million in the second quarter of 2021.
New contract awards in the second quarter of 2022 were approximately $2.0 billion, bringing total backlog to approximately $47.2 billion as of June 30, 2022.
“We are pleased with another quarter of consistent shipbuilding program execution and stronger operating income at each of our divisions compared to the prior year,” said Chris Kastner, HII’s president and CEO. "We remain confident in the positioning of the business for long-term value creation given the tremendous volume of shipbuilding work we have secured in backlog and a Mission Technologies division that is poised for robust growth in markets of critical importance to our customers.”

Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $658 million, a decrease of $12 million, or 1.8%, from the same period in 2021, primarily driven by lower revenues in the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer (DDG) program, partially offset by higher revenues in the amphibious transport dock (LPD) and amphibious assault ship (LHA) programs. DDG program revenues decreased due to lower volumes on Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129) and USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), partially offset by higher volume on Thad Cochran (DDG 135). Amphibious ship program revenues increased due to higher volumes on Pittsburgh (LPD 31), Harrisburg (LPD 30), LHA 9 (unnamed) and amphibious class planning yard services, partially offset by lower volume on the recently delivered Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28).
Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income^1 for the second quarter of 2022 was $106 million, an increase of $26 million from the same period in 2021. Segment operating margin^1 in the second quarter of 2022 was 16.1%, compared to 11.9% in the same period last year. The increases were primarily driven by favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses and higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30), partially offset by lower risk retirement on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) related to a capital expenditure incentive in 2021.
Key Ingalls Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:
· Launched and christened National Security Cutter Calhoun (NSC 10)
· Christened amphibious transport dock Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29)
· Awarded advanced procurement contract for LPD 32^1Non-GAAP measures. See Exhibit B for definitions and reconciliations.

Newport News Shipbuilding revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $70 million, or 5.1%, from the same period in 2021, primarily driven by higher revenues in aircraft carriers, partially offset by lower revenues in naval nuclear support services. Aircraft carrier revenues increased primarily as a result of higher volumes on the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), and the construction of Doris Miller (CVN 81), John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and Enterprise (CVN 80), partially offset by lower volume on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73). Naval nuclear support service revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower volumes in submarine fleet support services and facility maintenance services, partially offset by higher volumes in carrier fleet support services. Submarine revenues were relatively flat compared to the prior year, with lower volumes on Block IV boats of the Virginia-class submarine (VCS) program largely offset by higher volumes on Block V boats of the VCS program and higher volume in the Columbia-class submarine program.
Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income^1 for the second quarter of 2022 was $94 million, an increase of $18 million from the same period in 2021. Segment operating margin^1 in the second quarter of 2022 was 6.6%, compared to 5.6% in the same period last year. The increases were primarily due favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses, partially offset by lower risk retirement on the VCS program.
Key Newport News Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:
· Launched Virginia-class submarine New Jersey (SSN 796)
· Reached approximate 97% completion of the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73)
· Reached approximate 86% completion of John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)
· Recently turned over the 1,000th compartment of the 2,615 total spaces to the crew of John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)

Mission Technologies revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $600 million, an increase of $363 million from the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher volumes in Defense & Federal Solutions (DFS) attributable to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021.
Mission Technologies segment operating income^1 for the second quarter of 2022 was $25 million, compared to $13 million in the second quarter of 2021. Segment operating margin^1 in the second quarter of 2022 was 4.2%, compared to 5.5% in the same period last year. The increase in segment operating income^1 was primarily driven by higher equity income from a ship repair and specialty fabrication joint venture of which we are a minority owner.
The decrease in the segment operating margin^1 was primarily driven by approximately $24 million of amortization of Alion related purchased intangible assets. Mission Technologies EBITDA margin^1 in the second quarter of 2022 was 10.7%.Key Mission Technologies milestones for the quarter:
· Launched Odyssey, a suite of advanced autonomy solutions
· Awarded the Mobility Air Forces Distributed Mission Operations prime contract
· Successfully demonstrated the Pharos system for launching and retrieving unmanned underwater vehicles from amphibious warships^1Non-GAAP measures. See Exhibit B for definitions and reconciliations.*2022 Financial Outlook*^*1*

*Exhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & Reconciliations*
We make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating margin,” “shipbuilding revenue,” “shipbuilding operating margin,” “Mission Technologies EBITDA margin” and “free cash flow.”
We internally manage our operations by reference to segment operating income and segment operating margin, which are not recognized measures under GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use segment operating income and segment operating margin in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. They are measures that we use to evaluate our core operating performance. We believe that segment operating income and segment operating margin reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe these measures are used by investors and are a useful indicator to measure our performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of segment operating income and segment operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin are not measures recognized under GAAP. They are measures that we use to evaluate our core operating performance. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe these measures are used by investors and are a useful indicator to measure our performance.
Free cash flow is not a measure recognized under GAAP. Free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for net earnings as a measure of our performance or net cash provided or used by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe free cash flow is an important measure for our investors because it provides them insight into our current and period-to-period performance and our ability to generate cash from continuing operations. We also use free cash flow as a key operating metric in assessing the performance of our business and as a key performance measure in evaluating management performance and determining incentive compensation. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
A provision of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 that was effective January 1, 2022 requires companies to capitalize and amortize research and development costs over five years rather than deducting such costs in the year incurred for tax purposes.

*Segment operating income *is defined as operating income for the relevant segment(s) before the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes.
*Segment operating margin *is defined as segment operating income as a percentage of sales and service revenues.
*Shipbuilding revenue* is defined as the combined sales and service revenues from our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment.
*Shipbuilding operating margin* is defined as the combined segment operating income of our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment as a percentage of shipbuilding revenue.
*Mission Technologies EBITDA margin* is defined as Mission Technologies segment operating income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization as a percentage of Mission Technologies revenues.
*Free cash flow* is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds.
*Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment *is defined as the difference between the service cost component of our pension and other postretirement expense determined in accordance with GAAP (FAS) and our pension and other postretirement expense under U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).
*Non-current state income taxes* are defined as deferred state income taxes, which reflect the change in deferred state tax assets and liabilities and the tax expense or benefit associated with changes in state uncertain tax positions in the relevant period. These amounts are recorded within operating income. Current period state income tax expense is charged to contract costs and included in cost of sales and service revenues in segment operating income.
We present financial measures adjusted for the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes to reflect the company’s performance based upon the pension costs and state tax expense charged to our contracts under CAS. We use these adjusted measures as internal measures of operating performance and for performance-based compensation decisions.
