Revenues were $2.0 billion in the quarterOperating margin was 2.8%Diluted earnings per share was $1.30Cash from operations was $201 million, and free cash flow1 was $126 millionBacklog of $46.1 billionNEWPORT NEWS, Va., Aug. 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported second quarter 2020 revenues of $2.0 billion, down 7.4% from the second quarter of 2019. Operating income in the quarter was $57 million and operating margin was 2.8%, compared to $175 million and 8.0%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2019.The decreases in the quarter were primarily driven by unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments totaling $167 million resulting from updated cost and schedule assumptions across all programs. This includes $61 million resulting from discrete COVID-19 related delay and disruption estimates across all programs, including impacts from lower employee attendance, availability of critical skills, and out-of-sequence work, attributable to, among other things, orders of civil authorities associated with COVID-19 and steps taken to mitigate the effects of COVID-19.The majority of the unfavorable adjustments were related to Block IV boats of the Virginia-class submarine program, totaling $111 million, for unfavorable cost and schedule performance and updates to our assumptions for future program efficiencies and performance as a result of cost and schedule trends, and includes impacts of COVID-19 delay and disruption totaling $16 million.Net earnings in the quarter were $53 million, compared to $128 million in the second quarter of 2019. The decrease in net earnings for the quarter was the result of lower operating income, partially offset by a more favorable operating FAS/CAS adjustment and FAS (non-service) pension benefit.Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $1.30, compared to $3.07 in the same period of 2019.Second quarter cash from operations was $201 million and free cash flow1 was $126 million, compared to negative $44 million and negative $135 million, respectively, in the second quarter of 2019.New contract awards in the quarter were approximately $2.9 billion, bringing total backlog to approximately $46.1 billion as of June 30, 2020.COVID-19 Update“We continue to aggressively manage our response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our employees remains paramount as we continue our important work to support the nation’s defense,” said Mike Petters, HII president and CEO. “As we discussed when we provided our first quarter results, staffing at our shipyards has been significantly impacted by the pandemic as we worked to preserve the significant investments in human capital that we have made over the past five years. As a result of the pandemic and our response, hourly production workforce attendance at our shipyards averaged approximately 65% during the second quarter.” Petters continued, “The delay and disruption from lower attendance, availability of critical skills, and out-of-sequence work caused by COVID-19 has impacted our ability to complete work as efficiently as initially planned and has added incremental program cost and pushed schedules and milestones to the right, which is incorporated in our results and updated outlook for 2020.”Virginia-class Submarine Program Update“Our assumptions on Block IV of the Virginia-class submarine program called for boat-to-boat cost and schedule improvements as we worked down the learning curve,” said Petters. “As we conducted our regular quarterly program status reviews, it became clear that performance trends, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic environment, now make those improvements less likely to occur. As a result, we are resetting our risk registers to reflect the performance trends we experienced in the quarter, including the impacts of COVID-19.”In the quarter, the $111 million unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on the Block IV boats of the Virginia-class submarine program included $95 million for cost and schedule performance and updates to our assumptions for future program efficiencies and performance as a result of cost and schedule trends, as well as $16 million from delay and disruption directly attributable to COVID-19.“There is no doubt that this quarter was challenging,” said Petters. “However, when I look at the leadership team we have in place, the workforce we have hired, trained and certified over the past few years and the record backlog of work we have in front of us, I am very excited about the future of the shipbuilding business.”Updated Financial Outlook“We have revised our 2020 outlook for updated cost and schedule assumptions across our programs,” said Chris Kastner, HII chief financial officer. “Regarding COVID-19, we have assumed limited relief for costs directly related to our pandemic response but have made no assumption for equitable adjustments for the delay and disruption caused by COVID-19. Our guidance also assumes an orderly recovery to normalized attendance levels at both shipyards.”Expect shipbuilding revenue between $7.6 and $7.9 billion; shipbuilding operating margin1 between 5.5% and 6.5%Expect Technical Solutions revenue between $1.2 and $1.25 billion and operating margin between 2.0% and 2.4%

See Exhibit B for definition and reconciliationResults of OperationsSegment Operating ResultsIngalls ShipbuildingIngalls Shipbuilding revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $622 million, flat from the same period in 2019, driven by higher revenues on the Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program, the San Antonio-class LPD program and the America-class LHA program, offset by lower revenues on the Arleigh Burke-class DDG program. Higher NSC program revenues were primarily due to higher volumes on Calhoun (NSC 10) and Friedman (NSC 11), partially offset by lower volume on Midgett (NSC 8). Higher LPD and LHA program revenues were primarily due to higher volumes on Harrisburg (LPD 30), Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29), and LHA 9 (unnamed), partially offset by lower volumes on Tripoli (LHA 7) and Bougainville (LHA 8). Lower DDG program revenues were primarily due to lower volumes on USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) restoration and modernization, Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), and Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), partially offset by higher volumes on Ted Stevens (DDG 128), Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), and Sam Nunn (DDG 133).Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income for the second quarter was $55 million, a decrease of $14 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin in the quarter was 8.8%, compared to 11.1% in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily driven by unfavorable adjustments, including delay and disruption from COVID-19 and lower risk retirement on the Legend-class NSC program, partially offset by higher risk retirement on Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) in connection with its delivery and a capital expenditure contract incentive.Key Ingalls Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:Delivered guided missile destroyer Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) to the U.S. NavyRedelivered USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) after completion of restoration and modernizationAwarded a $1.5 billion contract for the construction of amphibious transport dock LPD 31Awarded a $936 million contract for the construction of an additional Arleigh Burke-class (DDG 51) Flight III destroyerAwarded advance procurement contracts for amphibious assault ship LHA 9 totaling $332 millionAwarded LCS planning yard contract worth a potential $108 millionNewport News ShipbuildingNewport News Shipbuilding revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $157 million, or 12.3%, from the same period in 2019, driven by lower revenues in aircraft carriers and submarine construction, partially offset by higher revenues in submarine and carrier fleet support services. Aircraft carrier revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower volumes on the refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) of USS George Washington (CVN 73), USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), and Kennedy (CVN 79), partially offset by higher volumes on the advance planning contract for the RCOH of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) and Enterprise (CVN 80). Submarine revenues decreased primarily as a result of lower volumes on the Virginia-class submarine program, partially offset by higher volume on the Columbia-class submarine program. The lower volume on the Virginia-class submarine program was due to lower volumes on Block IV and Block III boats, partially offset by higher volumes on Block V boats.Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating loss for the second quarter was $69 million, compared to operating income of $71 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin was (6.1)% for the quarter, compared to 5.6% in the same period last year. These decreases were primarily due to unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on Block IV boats of the Virginia-class submarine program for unfavorable cost and schedule performance and updates to our assumptions for future program efficiencies and performance as a result of cost and schedule trends, as well as the impact of discrete COVID-19 delay and disruption.Key Newport News Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) is approximately 74% completeThe RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73) is approximately 78% completeTechnical SolutionsTechnical Solutions revenues for the second quarter of 2020 were $320 million, a decrease of $1 million from the same period in 2019, primarily driven by lower mission driven innovative solutions (MDIS), fleet support and nuclear and environmental services revenues, partially offset by the acquisition of Hydroid in 2020 and higher revenues on oil and gas services.Technical Solutions segment operating income for the second quarter was $9 million, compared to segment operating loss of $2 million in second quarter 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the loss on a fleet support contract in the prior year period.Key Technical Solutions milestones for the quarter:Awarded a contract to provide analytical support services to the U.S. Special Operations Command’s Intelligence DirectorateOne of five companies awarded an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract with the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General to provide support services to the Office of the Chief Information Officer2020 OutlookThe financial outlook, expectations and other forward looking statements provided by the company for 2020 and beyond, reflect the company’s judgment based on the information available at the time of this release.The COVID-19 global pandemic has had wide ranging effects on the global health environment and disrupted the global and U.S. economies and financial markets, including impacts to our employees, customers, suppliers, and communities. The pandemic is also impacting our operations, and the full impacts of COVID-19 on our fiscal year 2020 financial results and beyond are uncertain. We believe that the most significant elements of uncertainty are the intensity and duration of the impact on our employees’ ability to work effectively, disruption in our supply chain, disruption of the U.S. Government’s and our other customers’ abilities to perform their obligations, and impact on pension assets and other investment performance.We have incurred and expect to continue incurring costs related to our COVID-19 response, including paid leave, quarantining employees and recurring facility cleaning. While our shipyards and other facilities remain open and productive, we have experienced a decrease in workforce attendance, which has impacted our operations with delay and disruption from availability of critical skills and out-of-sequence work. Continued lower staffing levels and lower employee productivity could impact our ability to achieve anticipated milestones and further affect our 2020 financial results and beyond.Our employees, suppliers, customers, and communities are facing significant challenges, and we cannot predict how the COVID-19 environment will evolve or the impact it will have. For further information on the potential impact of COVID-19 to the company, see “Risk Factors” in our second quarter Form 10-Q.1 Non-GAAP measures. See Exhibit B for definition.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWSExhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & ReconciliationsWe make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating margin,” “shipbuilding revenue,” “shipbuilding operating margin,” “Technical Solutions EBITDA margin,” “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share” 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, segment operating margin and shipbuilding 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.Adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not measures recognized under GAAP. They should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they exclude items that do not reflect our core operating performance. They may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.Shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin and Technical Solutions EBITDA margin are not measures recognized under GAAP. They should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. They 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 (loss) is defined as operating income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 margin of our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment as a percentage of combined sales and service revenues from our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment.Technical Solutions EBITDA margin is defined as Technical Solutions segment operating income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization as a percentage of revenues.Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the after-tax impact of the FAS/CAS Adjustment.Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.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.Reconciliations of Segment Operating Income and Segment Operating MarginReconciliation of Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per ShareReconciliation of Free Cash Flow
