NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Feb. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HII (NYSE: HII) reported fourth quarter 2024 revenues of $3.0 billion compared to $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decrease was driven by lower volume at all segments compared to the prior year.
Segment operating income2 in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $103 million and segment operating margin was 3.4%, compared to $330 million and 10.4%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023. The decreases were driven by lower performance at Newport News Shipbuilding, as well as prior year results that included the benefit of both the sale of a favorable court judgment in Ingalls Shipbuilding results and the favorable settlement of an insurance claim in Mission Technologies results.
Fourth quarter 2024 operating income of $110 million and operating margin of 3.7%, compared to $312 million and 9.8%, respectively, in the fourth quarter of 2023.
Diluted earnings per share in the quarter was $3.15, compared to $6.90 in the fourth quarter of 2023.
For the full year, revenues of $11.5 billion increased less than 1% over 2023, due to higher volumes at Mission Technologies and Ingalls Shipbuilding, largely offset by lower volumes at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Segment operating income2 in 2024 was $573 million and segment operating margin2 was 5.0%, compared to $842 million and 7.4%, respectively, in 2023, the decrease was primarily driven by lower performance at Newport News Shipbuilding, as well as prior year results that included the benefit of both the sale of a favorable court judgment in Ingalls Shipbuilding results and the favorable settlement of an insurance claim in Mission Technologies results.
Operating income in 2024 was $535 million and operating margin was 4.6%, compared to $781 million and 6.8%, respectively, in 2023.
Diluted earnings per share for the full year was $13.96, compared to $17.07 in 2023.
Net cash provided by operating activities in 2024 was $393 million and free cash flow2 was $40 million, compared to $970 million and $692 million, respectively, in 2023.
New contract awards in 2024 were approximately $12.1 billion, bringing total backlog to approximately $48.7 billion as of December 31, 2024.
Chris Kastner, HII's president and CEO, said, "We continue to make progress on ships put under contract pre-COVID, and are working diligently with our customers to put over $50 billion of new work under contract. Mission Technologies continued its strong track record of top line growth and margin expansion and secured an impressive $12 billion in total future contract value during 2024. We enter 2025 focused on our mission to deliver the world's most powerful ships and all-domain solutions in service of the nation."

Mission Technologies revenues for the fourth quarter of 2024 were $713 million, a decrease of $32 million, or 4.3%, from the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower volumes in C5ISR contracts.
Mission Technologies segment operating income1 in the fourth quarter of 2024 was $19 million and segment operating margin1 was 2.7%, compared to $51 million and 6.8% in the same period in the prior year, respectively. The decreases were primarily driven by the favorable settlement of an insurance claim in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Mission Technologies segment operating income1 in 2024 was $116 million and segment operating margin1 was 3.9%, compared to $101 million and 3.7% in 2023, respectively.

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.
