NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (Nov. 5, 2015)—Huntington Ingalls Industries (NYSE:HII) reported third quarter 2015 revenues of $1.8 billion, up 4.8 percent compared to the same period last year. Third quarter diluted earnings per share was $2.29, compared to diluted earnings per share of $1.96 in the same period of 2014. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the quarter was $1.98, compared to $1.67 in the same period of 2014.

Segment operating income for the third quarter was $172 million, compared to $151 million in the same period last year. Total operating income for the quarter was $200 million, compared to $171 million in the same period last year. The increase in operating income was primarily attributable to higher performance at Ingalls on the LHA-6 America-class and the LPD-17 San Antonio-class programs, as well as a favorable FAS/CAS Adjustment.

New contract awards were approximately $0.8 billion for the quarter, bringing total backlog at the end of Q3 2015 to $23.3 billion, of which $12.5 billion was funded.

“Strong execution at Ingalls resulted in solid operating performance during the quarter,” said HII President and CEO Mike Petters. “We remain on track to achieve our 9-plus percent shipbuilding operating margin target for 2015.”

Revenues	$	593		$	559		$	34	6.1	%

Operating margin %	*13.0*		%	9.8		%			315 bps

Ingalls revenues for the third quarter increased $34 million, or 6.1 percent, from the same period in 2014, driven by higher revenues in Surface Combatants, partially offset by lower revenues in Amphibious Assault Ships and the National Security Cutter (NSC) program. The increase in Surface Combatants revenues was due to higher volumes on DDG-121 (unnamed) and DDG-119 Delbert D. Black. The decrease in Amphibious Assault Ships revenues was due to lower volumes on LPD-26 John P. Murtha and LPD-27 Portland, partially offset by higher volume on LHA-7 Tripoli. The decrease in the NSC program revenues was due to lower volumes on NSC-4 USCGC Hamilton and NSC-5 USCGC James, partially offset by higher volumes on NSC-8 Midgett and NSC-7 Kimball.

Ingalls operating income for the quarter was $77 million, an increase of $22 million over the same period in 2014. Ingalls operating margin was 13.0 percent for the quarter, compared to 9.8 percent in Q3 2014. These increases were primarily due to improved performance on the LHA-6 America-class and the LPD-17 San Antonio-class programs.

Key Ingalls highlights for the quarter:

Launched the sixth National Security Cutter, NSC-6 Munro (WMSL 755)
Began construction of Arleigh Burke-class destroyer DDG-119 Delbert D. Black
NSC-5 James (WMSL 754) sailed away

Newport News revenues for the third quarter increased $80 million, or 7.3 percent, from the same period in 2014, driven by higher revenues in Submarines and Fleet Support services, partially offset by lower revenues in Aircraft Carriers. Submarines revenues related to the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine program were higher due to higher volumes on Block IV boats, partially offset by lower volumes on Block III boats. The increase in Fleet Support services revenues was primarily due to higher volumes associated with Aircraft Carrier support services. The decrease in Aircraft Carrier revenues was due to lower volumes on the execution contract for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH and the construction contract for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, partially offset by higher volume on the construction contract for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy.

Newport News operating income for the quarter was $100 million, a $1 million decrease from the same period in 2014. Newport News operating margin was 8.5 percent for the quarter, down from 9.2 percent in Q3 2014. These decreases were due to lower performance on the construction contract for CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford and lower volumes on Aircraft Carriers RCOH programs, partially offset by higher volumes on the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine program and the resolution of outstanding contract changes on the CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt RCOH.

Key Newport News highlights for the quarter:

Hosted keel-laying ceremony for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy
Crew moved aboard CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford
Began final testing of the steam-powered systems aboard CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln
Achieved “pressure hull complete” construction milestone on the Virginia-class submarine Washington (SSN-787)
Awarded a $106 million contract for engineering and design work on the Los Angeles-, Virginia– and Ohio-class submarines, plus work related to submarine support facilities and special mission submersibles
Awarded a $57.8 million contract for planning work to upgrade the Los Angeles-class submarine USS Columbus (SSN-762)

Revenues in the Other segment for the third quarter decreased $31 million, or 50.8 percent, from the same period in 2014 due to lower volumes in oil and gas services. Operating loss in the quarter was $5 million, which was consistent with the operating loss in Q3 2014.

Exhibit B: Reconciliations

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

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

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

Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the tax effected impact of the loss on early extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2015 and the tax effected FAS/CAS Adjustment.

Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as 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.

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.
