NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE:HII) reported fourth quarter 2023 revenues of $3.2 billion, up 13% from the fourth quarter of 2022, due to higher volumes at all three segments. Operating income in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $312 million and operating margin was 9.8%, compared to $105 million and 3.7%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2022, primarily due to higher segment operating income1. Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $6.90, compared to $3.07 in the fourth quarter of 2022.

For the full year, record revenues of $11.5 billion increased 7.3% over 2022, due to higher volumes at all three segments. Operating income in 2023 was $781 million and operating margin was 6.8%, compared to $565 million and 5.3%, respectively, in 2022. Segment operating income1 in 2023 was $842 million and segment operating margin1 was 7.4%, compared to $712 million and 6.7%, respectively, in 2022, primarily driven by the sale of a court judgment and the settlement of an insurance claim. Diluted earnings per share for the full year was $17.07, compared to $14.44 in 2022.

Net cash provided by operating activities in 2023 was $970 million and free cash flow1 was $692 million, compared to $766 million and $494 million, respectively, in 2022.

New contract awards in 2023 were approximately $12.5 billion, bringing total backlog to approximately $48.1 billion as of December 31, 2023.

“2023 was a strong year for HII. We continue to invest both in our shipyards and in IRAD to both expand capacity and develop new products and solutions for our customers. Our growth rate for the year of over 7% and our free cash flow generation at almost $700M illustrate that we are entering a period of accelerated growth and increased free cash flow generation at HII,” said Chris Kastner, HII’s president and CEO. "Looking ahead, over the next 5 years we expect growth of over 4% and cash generation of $3.6B. Our expectations are grounded in the assumption we must deliver on our commitments to our customers."

Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $800 million, an increase of $142 million, or 21.6%, from the same period in 2022, primarily driven by higher volumes in surface combatants and amphibious assault ships, partially offset by lower volumes in the Legend class National Security Cutter ("NSC") program.

Mission Technologies revenues for the fourth quarter of 2023 were $745 million, an increase of $143 million from the same period in 2022. The increase was primarily due to growth in C5ISR.

Mission Technologies segment operating income1 in the fourth quarter of 2023 was $51 million, compared to $15 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. Segment operating margin1 for the fourth quarter of 2023 was 6.8%, compared to 2.5% in the same period the prior year. The increases in segment operating income1 and segment operating margin1 were primarily driven by the settlement of a representations and warranties insurance claim related to the acquisition of Hydroid and higher volumes described above, partially offset by performance in Live, Virtual and Constructive Solutions ("LVC") and fleet sustainment.

Mission Technologies 2023 revenues were $2.7 billion, an increase of $312 million, or 13.1%, compared to 2022, primarily due to higher volumes in C5ISR and cyber, electronic warfare & space ("CEW&S") contracts.

Mission Technologies segment operating income1 in 2023 was $101 million, an increase of $38 million, or 60.3%, from 2022. Mission Technologies segment operating margin1 in 2023 was 3.7%, compared to 2.6% in 2022. The increases in segment operating income1 and segment operating margin1 were primarily driven by the settlement of a representations and warranties insurance claim related to the acquisition of Hydroid and higher volumes described above, partially offset by a contract loss and lower equity income from the disposition of our investment in an unconsolidated ship repair and specialty fabrication joint venture.

Mission Technologies results included approximately $109 million of amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2023, compared to approximately $120 million in 2022. Mission Technologies EBITDA margin1 for full year 2023 was 8.6%, compared to 8.2% in 2022.

Exhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & Reconciliations

We make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating margin,” “shipbuilding revenue,” “shipbuilding operating margin,” “Mission Technologies EBITDA", "Mission Technologies EBITDA 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 additional ways 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.

Shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin are not measures recognized under GAAP. They are measures that we use to evaluate our core operating performance. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe that shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA 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 shipbuilding revenue, shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA 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 net earnings as a measure of our performance or net cash provided or used by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. 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.

In reliance upon Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, reconciliations of forward-looking GAAP and non-GAAP measures are not provided because of the unreasonable effort associated with providing such reconciliations due to the variability in the occurrence and the amounts of certain components of GAAP and non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

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 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 income of our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment as a percentage of shipbuilding revenue.

Mission Technologies EBITDA is defined as Mission Technologies segment operating income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

Mission Technologies EBITDA margin is defined as Mission Technologies EBITDA as a percentage of Mission Technologies revenues.

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

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.

Certain of the financial measures we present are 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.
