Diluted earnings per share of $4.20 in the quarter; $12.14 in 2016
Cash from operations of $822 million and free cash flow¹ of $537 million in 2016

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 16, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported fourth quarter 2016 revenues of $1.9 billion, up 0.9 percent from the fourth quarter of 2015. Operating income in the quarter was $268 million and operating margin was 13.9 percent, compared to $144 million and 7.6 percent, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $4.20, compared to $1.06 in the same period of 2015.

For the full year, revenues of $7.1 billion increased 0.7 percent over 2015. Operating income in 2016 was $858 million and operating margin was 12.1 percent, compared to $769 million and 11.0 percent, respectively, in 2015. Diluted earnings per share for the full year was $12.14, compared to $8.36 in 2015. Cash from operations in 2016 was $822 million and free cash flow¹ was $537 million, compared to $861 million and $673 million, respectively, in 2015.

New contract awards for 2016 were approximately $5.2 billion, bringing total backlog to $21.0 billion as of Dec. 31, 2016. Major contract awards in 2016 included the detail design and construction contract for the amphibious transport dock Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28); a fixed-price incentive contract to build a ninth Legend-class National Security Cutter (unnamed); the planning, advanced engineering and procurement of long-lead material contract for the amphibious assault ship Bougainville (LHA 8); and the continued advance planning contract for the refueling and complex overhaul (“RCOH”) of the aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73).

“Huntington Ingalls Industries’ operational performance in 2016 was solid,” said Mike Petters, HII’s president and CEO. “Exceptional execution on mature programs at Ingalls lessened the impact of the ongoing transition between programs at Newport News and drove the strong financial results for the year.”

Petters continued, “Our 2016 performance, the acquisition of Camber Corporation and the formation of our Technical Solutions division established a great foundation to achieve our Path to 2020 strategic commitments.”

¹Free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure. See exhibit B for definition and reconciliation.

Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues for the fourth quarter were $641 million, an increase of $61 million, or 10.5 percent, from the same period in 2015, due to higher revenues in surface combatants and the Legend-class National Security Cutter (“NSC”) program, partially offset by lower revenues in amphibious assault ships. Higher surface combatant revenues were primarily due to increased volumes on Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123) and Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), partially offset by decreased volume on Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) and the delivery of John Finn (DDG 113) in the quarter. Higher NSC program revenues were primarily due to increased volume on Midgett (NSC 8), partially offset by the delivery of USCGC Munro (NSC 6) in the quarter. Lower amphibious assault ships revenues were due to the delivery of USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) in the second quarter of 2016 and decreased volume on Portland (LPD 27), partially offset by increased volumes on Fort Lauderdale and Bougainville.

Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income for the fourth quarter was $85 million, an increase of $26 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin in the quarter was 13.3 percent, compared to 10.2 percent in the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to higher risk retirement and improved performance on the LPD, DDG and NSC programs.

For the full year, Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues were $2.4 billion, an increase of $201 million, or 9.2 percent, from 2015, due to higher revenues in surface combatants and amphibious assault ships, partially offset by lower revenues on the NSC program. Higher surface combatants revenues were primarily due to increased volumes on Frank E. Petersen Jr., Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee, and planning yard services, partially offset by the delivery of John Finn. Higher amphibious assault ships revenues were primarily due to increased volumes on Fort Lauderdale, Tripoli (LHA 7) and Bougainville, partially offset by lower volume on Portland and the delivery of USS John P. Murtha. Lower NSC program revenues were due to the delivery of USCGC James (NSC 5) in 2015 and the delivery of Munro in 2016, partially offset by higher volume on Midgett.

For the full year, Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income was $321 million, compared to $379 million in 2015. Segment operating margin was 13.4 percent for 2016, compared to 17.3 percent in 2015. Segment operating income and margin in 2015 included a $136 million favorable impact from an insurance litigation settlement. Adjusting for the insurance litigation settlement, segment operating income in 2016 increased $78 million over 2015, and segment operating margin increased 240 basis points. These increases were primarily due to higher risk retirement on the LPD and DDG programs, partially offset by lower risk retirement on the America class (LHA 6) program.

Key Ingalls Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:

Awarded a $1.15 billion fixed-priced incentive contract for the detail design and construction of Fort Lauderdale
Awarded a $486 million fixed-priced incentive contract for the construction of a ninth NSC
Delivered Munro to the U.S. Coast Guard
Delivered John Finn to the U.S. Navy

Newport News Shipbuilding revenues for the fourth quarter were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $75 million, or 6.3 percent, from the same period in 2015, due to lower revenues in aircraft carriers and submarines. Lower aircraft carriers revenues were primarily due to decreased volumes on the construction contract for Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and the execution contract for the RCOH of USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), partially offset by increased volumes on the advance planning contracts for the RCOH of USS George Washington and the construction preparation contract for Enterprise (CVN 80). Lower submarines revenues related to the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine (“VCS”) program were due to decreased volumes on Block III boats, partially offset by increased volumes on Block IV boats.

Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income for the fourth quarter was $139 million, an increase of $23 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin was 12.4 percent for the quarter, compared to 9.7 percent in the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to favorable changes in overhead costs and the receipt of a $15 million local government incentive grant, partially offset by lower risk retirement on the VCS program.

For the full year, Newport News Shipbuilding revenues were $4.1 billion, a decrease of $209 million, or 4.9 percent, from 2015, due to lower revenues in aircraft carriers. Lower aircraft carrier revenues were primarily due to decreased volumes on the construction contract for Gerald R. Ford and the execution contract for the RCOH of USS Abraham Lincoln, partially offset by increased volumes on the construction contract for John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and the advance planning contract for the RCOH of USS George Washington. Submarines revenues related to the VCS program were relatively flat in 2016 compared to 2015. Increased volumes on Block IV boats and USS John Warner (SSN 785) post-shakedown availability services were offset by decreased volumes on Block III boats.

For the full year, Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income was $386 million, a decrease of $15 million from 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower risk retirement on the VCS program, lower volume and lower risk retirement on the execution contract for the RCOH of USS Abraham Lincoln and lower volume on Gerald R. Ford, partially offset by higher volumes on John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) and the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73), favorable changes in overhead costs, and the receipt of a $15 million local government incentive grant. Segment operating margin for 2016 was 9.4 percent, compared to 9.3 percent in 2015.

³NM means the % change is “not meaningful”.

Technical Solutions revenues for the fourth quarter were $186 million, an increase of $32 million, or 20.8 percent, from the same period in 2015, primarily due to the acquisition of Camber and higher revenues in oil and gas and nuclear and environmental services, partially offset by lower revenues in fleet support. Higher oil and gas revenues were primarily due to increased volume in field services, partially offset by decreased volume in engineering services. Higher nuclear and environmental revenues were primarily due to increased volumes in commercial fabrication services, partially offset by decreased volumes in environmental remediation programs.

Technical Solutions segment operating income for the fourth quarter was $1 million, compared to segment operating loss of $51 million in fourth quarter 2015. Segment operating loss in the fourth quarter of 2015 included a $27 million intangible asset impairment charge and a $16 million goodwill impairment charge. Adjusting for these items, segment operating income in the fourth quarter of 2016 increased $9 million from the same period in 2015. The increase was primarily due to improved performance in oil and gas and fleet support.

For the full year, Technical Solutions revenues were $691 million, an increase of $75 million, or 12.2 percent, from 2015, primarily due to increased volumes in nuclear and environmental and fleet support as well as the acquisition of Camber, partially offset by lower volume in oil and gas.

For the full year, Technical Solutions segment operating income was $8 million, compared to a segment operating loss of $113 million in 2015. Segment operating loss in 2015 included $75 million of goodwill impairment charges and a $27 million intangible asset impairment charge. Adjusting for these items, segment operating income in 2016 increased $19 million over 2015. The increase was primarily due to improved performance in oil and gas, fleet support and nuclear and environmental.

Exhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & Reconciliations

We make reference to “segment operating income (loss),” “segment operating margin,” “adjusted sales and service revenues,” “adjusted segment operating income (loss),” “adjusted segment operating margin,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,” “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share,” and “free cash flow.”

We internally manage our operations by reference to “segment operating income (loss)” and “segment operating margin,” which are not recognized measures under GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use segment operating income (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) and segment operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted sales and service revenues, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment operating income (loss), adjusted segment 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 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.

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 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.

Adjusted sales and service revenues is defined as sales and service revenues adjusted for the impact of the insurance litigation settlement in the Ingalls segment in second quarter 2015.

Adjusted segment operating income (loss) is defined as segment operating income (loss) adjusted for the impacts, as applicable to the relevant segment, of: the insurance litigation settlement in the Ingalls segment in second quarter 2015, the goodwill impairment charges in the Technical Solutions segment in the second and fourth quarters of 2015 and the intangible asset impairment charge in the Technical Solutions segment in fourth quarter 2015.

Adjusted segment operating margin is defined as adjusted segment operating income (loss) as applicable to each segment, as a percentage of adjusted sales and service revenues as applicable to each segment.

Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for the impacts of: the insurance litigation settlement in second quarter 2015, the goodwill impairment charges in the second and fourth quarters of 2015 and the intangible asset impairment charge in fourth quarter 2015.

Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of adjusted sales and service revenues.

Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the after-tax impacts of: the insurance litigation settlement in the second quarter 2015, the goodwill impairment charges in the second and fourth quarters of 2015, the intangible asset impairment charge in fourth quarter 2015, the loss on early extinguishment of debt in third quarter 2015 and 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.

FAS/CAS Adjustment is defined as the difference between our pension and postretirement plan expense under GAAP Financial Accounting Standards and the same expense under U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). Our pension and postretirement plan expense is charged to our contracts under 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 FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income tax 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.
