NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. 07, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported third quarter 2019 revenues of $2.2 billion, up 6.5% from the third quarter of 2018. The increase was driven primarily by growth at HII’s Technical Solutions division from recent acquisitions and higher volume at HII’s Newport News Shipbuilding division.

Operating income in the quarter was $214 million and operating margin was 9.6%, compared to $290 million and 13.9%, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018. The decreases in operating income and operating margin were mainly the result of a lower operating FAS/CAS adjustment, as well as lower segment operating income, compared to the prior year.

Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $3.74, compared to $5.29 in the same period of 2018. The decrease was predominantly due to lower operating income and a lower non-operating retirement benefit compared to the prior year.

Third quarter cash from operations was $363 million and free cash flow¹ was $250 million, compared to negative $93 million and negative $195 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2018.

New contract awards in the quarter were approximately $2.1 billion, bringing total backlog to approximately $39.2 billion as of Sept. 30.

“We are very pleased with shipbuilding program execution in the quarter, most notably completing the undocking of USS George Washington (CVN 73),” said Mike Petters, HII’s president and CEO. “We remain confident that execution of critical shipbuilding program milestones in the fourth quarter will create the momentum to achieve shipbuilding margins of 9 to 10 percent in 2020.”

Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues for the third quarter were $647 million, a decrease of $47 million from the same period in 2018, primarily driven by lower revenues in the Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program and amphibious assault ships. Revenues on the NSC program decreased due to lower volumes on USCGC Kimball (NSC 7), USCGC Midgett (NSC 8) and Stone (NSC 9), partially offset by higher volumes on NSC 11 (unnamed). Amphibious assault ship revenues decreased as a result of lower volumes on Tripoli (LHA 7) and Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), partially offset by higher volumes on Harrisburg (LPD 30) and Bougainville (LHA 8). Surface combatant revenues were consistent with the prior year due to higher volumes on Ted Stevens (DDG 128), USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) repair and restoration, Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129) and Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), offset by lower volumes on Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121) and Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123).

Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income for the third quarter was $61 million, a decrease of $21 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin in the quarter was 9.4%, compared to 11.8% in the same period last year. The decreases were primarily due to lower risk retirement on the NSC program.

Key Ingalls Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:

• Completed builder’s trials for Tripoli (LHA 7)
• Completed external structural work on Stone (NSC 9)

Newport News Shipbuilding revenues for the third quarter were $1.3 billion, an increase of $85 million, or 7.2%, from the same period in 2018, primarily driven by higher revenues in aircraft carriers and submarines. Aircraft carrier revenues increased primarily as a result of higher volumes on the advance planning contract for Enterprise (CVN 80) and the advance planning contract for the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), partially offset by lower volume on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73). Submarine revenues increased due to higher volumes on Columbia-class and Virginia-class (VCS) submarines. VCS program volumes increased due to higher volumes on Block V boats, partially offset by lower volumes on Block III boats.

Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income for the third quarter was $109 million, a decrease of $10 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin was 8.6% for the quarter, compared to 10.1% in the same period last year. These decreases were primarily due to a workers’ compensation benefit of $43 million in the same period last year, partially offset by contract changes in the current period for submarine support services related to work on Los Angeles-class submarines.

Key Newport News Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:

• Achieved approximately 96% structural completion on the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)
• Completed the undocking of USS George Washington (CVN 73) and achieved approximately 64% completion on the RCOH

Technical Solutions revenues for the third quarter were $347 million, an increase of $102 million, or 41.6%, from the same period in 2018, driven by the acquisitions of G2, Inc. and Fulcrum IT Services, as well as organic growth in fleet support and oil and gas services revenues.

Technical Solutions segment operating income for the third quarter was $21 million, an increase of $5 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin was 6.1% for the quarter, compared to 6.5% in the same period last year. The increase in segment operating income was primarily due to improved performance on nuclear and environmental contracts.

Key Technical Solutions milestones for the quarter:

• Captured a multiple award contract to continue providing U.S. Navy installation and support services for command, control, communications, computer, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR) and supporting systems to the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR)
• Captured a multiple award contract by the Defense Intelligence Agency to provide a wide range of analytic and operational support services

Exhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & Reconciliations

We make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating 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.

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, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. 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.

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 percent of sales and service revenues.

Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds.

FAS/CAS Adjustment is defined as the difference between expenses for pension and other postretirement benefits determined in accordance with GAAP (FAS) and the expenses determined in accordance with U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).

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.
