  • Revenues were $1.57 billion for the quarter

  • Total operating margin was 9.9 percent
  • Diluted earnings per share was $1.79 for the quarter
  • Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter were $904 million

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., May 7, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported first quarter 2015 revenues of $1.57 billion, down 1.5 percent compared to the same period last year. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $1.79, compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.81 in the same period of 2014.

Segment operating income was $128 million and segment operating margin was 8.2 percent in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $137 million and 8.6 percent in the same period last year. Total operating income was $156 million and total operating margin was 9.9 percent in the first quarter of 2015, compared to $159 million and 10.0 percent in the same period last year. These decreases were primarily driven by operating performance in the Other segment.

New business awards for the quarter were approximately $1.6 billion, which included contracts for construction of the eighth National Security Cutter (NSC) Midgett, continued construction for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford and advance planning for the CVN-73 USS George Washington refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH). Total backlog as of March 31, 2015, was approximately $21.5 billion, of which $14.1 billion was funded.

“During the quarter, solid operating performance at both Ingalls and Newport News was impacted by underperformance in the Other segment due to continued weakness in the oil and gas market,” said HII President and CEO Mike Petters. “We’ve taken decisive actions to right-size the Other segment for the current environment, and these actions will position it to be stronger when the market rebounds.”

Revenues $ 469 $ 547 $ (78) (14.3)%

Ingalls revenues for the quarter decreased $78 million, or 14.3 percent, from the same period in 2014, driven by lower volumes in amphibious assault ships and the NSC program, partially offset by higher volumes in surface combatants. The decrease in amphibious assault ships revenues was due to lower volumes on LHA-6 USS America, LPD-27 Portland and LPD-26 John P. Murtha,partially offset by higher volumes on LHA-7 Tripoli. The decrease in NSC program revenues was due to lower volume on NSC-4 USCGC Hamilton, partially offset by higher volume on NSC-7 Kimball. The increase in surface combatants revenues was due to higher volumes on DDG-119 Delbert D. Black and DDG-113 John Finn, partially offset by lower volumes on the DDG-1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer program.

Ingalls operating income for the quarter was $45 million, a $2 million increase from the same period in 2014. Ingalls operating margin was 9.6 percent for the quarter, compared to 7.9 percent in Q1 2014. These increases were primarily due to risk retirement on LHA-6 USS America, partially offset by lower revenues.

Key Ingalls highlights for the quarter:

  • Christened LPD-26 John P. Murtha
  • Began construction on NSC-7 Kimball
  • Launched John Finn (DDG 113)
  • Received a $604.3 million contract modification to fund construction of the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer DDG-121
  • Received a $499.8 million contract to fund construction of NSC-8 Midgett

Newport News revenues for the first quarter increased $14 million, or 1.3 percent, from the same period in 2014, primarily driven by higher volumes in submarines and fleet support services, partially offset by lower volumes in aircraft carriers. The increase in submarines revenues related to the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine (VCS) program was due to higher volumes on Block IV boats, partially offset by lower volumes on the Block II and Block III boats. The increase in fleet support services revenues was primarily due to higher volumes on aircraft carriermaintenance. The decrease in aircraft carrier revenues was due to lower volumes on the execution contract for CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH and the construction contract for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, partially offset by higher volumes on the construction preparation contract for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy.

Newport News operating income for the quarter was $93 million, a $1 million decrease from the same period in 2014. Newport News operating margin was 8.8 percent for the quarter, down from 9.0 percent in Q1 2014. These decreases were primarily due to lower risk retirement on CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford and lower volumes on aircraft carrier RCOH programs, partially offset by higher risk retirement on the VCS program.

Key Newport News highlights for the quarter:

  • Received a $224 million contract modification for advanced planning of the CVN-73 USS George Washington RCOH
  • Crew moved aboard Virginia-class submarine John Warner (SSN 785)
  • Acquired The Columbia Group's Engineering Solutions Division, a leading designer and builder of unmanned underwater vehicles for domestic and international customers

Other

Revenues in the Other segment were $40 million in the quarter, and the operating loss was $10 million. The operating loss was primarily driven by lower volumes due to project delays and work scope reductions as well as higher operating costs associated with cost measures taken during the quarter.

Exhibit B: Reconciliations

We make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating margin,” “pension-adjusted operating income,” “pension-adjusted operating margin,” “adjusted net earnings,” and “adjusted diluted earnings per share.”

Segment operating income is total operating income before the FAS/CAS Adjustment and deferred state income taxes.

Segment operating margin is segment operating income as a percentage of total sales and service revenues.

Pension-adjusted operating income is total operating income adjusted for the FAS/CAS Adjustment.

Pension-adjusted operating margin is pension-adjusted operating income as a percentage of total sales and service revenues.

Adjusted net earnings is net earnings adjusted for the tax effected FAS/CAS Adjustment.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.

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, total operating income and total operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. They are metrics we use to evaluate our core operating performance. We believe segment operating income and segment operating margin reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides 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.

Pension-adjusted operating income, pension-adjusted operating margin, 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 metrics are useful to investors because they normalize our operating performance by excluding non-recurring items or items that do not reflect our core operating performance. They may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
