OVERVIEW

Our Business

Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII", "we", "us", or "our") is a global, all-domain defense partner, building and delivering the world’s most powerful, survivable naval ships and technologies that safeguard America’s seas, sky, land, space, and cyber. For more than a century, our Ingalls Shipbuilding segment ("Ingalls") in Mississippi and Newport News Shipbuilding segment ("Newport News") in Virginia have built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder, making us America's largest shipbuilder. Our Mission Technologies segment develops integrated technology solutions and products that enable today's connected, all-domain force. Headquartered in Newport News, Virginia, we employ over 44,000 people domestically and internationally.

We conduct most of our business with the U.S. Government, primarily the Department of Defense ("DoD"). As prime contractor, principal subcontractor, team member, or partner, we participate in many high-priority U.S. defense programs. Ingalls includes our non-nuclear ship design, construction, repair, and maintenance businesses. Newport News includes all of our nuclear ship design, construction, overhaul, refueling, and repair and maintenance businesses. Our Mission Technologies segment provides a wide range of services and products, including command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance ("C5ISR") systems and operations; the application of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to battlefield decisions;

defensive and offensive cyberspace strategies and electronic warfare; unmanned autonomous systems; live, virtual, and constructive training solutions ("LVC"); fleet sustainment; and critical nuclear operations.

The following discussion should be read along with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (our "2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K").

Business Environment

We continue to see uncertainty in the economy, our industry, and our company, with challenges for customers and suppliers, labor shortages, supply chain challenges, and inflation, among other impacts.

Defense Spending Environment - The National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA") for fiscal year 2024 was finalized in December 2023, and the fiscal year 2024 budget cycle concluded with the enactment of the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 (the "Act") on March 23, 2024. Final defense appropriations broadly supported shipbuilding programs, including funding for two Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers, two Virginia class (SSN 774) attack submarines, and one Columbia class (SSBN 826) ballistic submarine. Additionally, the appropriations measure provided $500 million for advance procurement ("AP") funding for LPD-33, additional AP funding for a third DDG-51 in fiscal year 2025, and funding for Ford class (CVN 78) nuclear aircraft carrier programs. The Act also provides funding for the submarine industrial base and large surface combatant shipyard infrastructure and authorizes the Navy to enter into a multi-year procurement contract for Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines.

The President submitted the fiscal year 2025 budget request on March 11, 2024, which is now under consideration by Congress. The budget request reflects continued investment in shipbuilding, funding two Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) surface combatants, one San Antonio class (LPD 17) amphibious warship, and the lead Block VI Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine, which is proposed to be executed as a multiyear procurement. Additionally, the budget request continues funding for Ford class (CVN 78) nuclear aircraft carriers and the first of three years of full funding for the refueling and complex overhaul of USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The budget request continues investment in the submarine industrial base and research and development on next generation large surface combatants (DDG(X)) and nuclear submarines (SSN(X)).

Global Geopolitical and Economic Environment - The global geopolitical and economic environment continues to be impacted by uncertainty, heightened geopolitical tensions, and instability. Geopolitical relationships continue to change, and the U.S. and its allies face a global security environment that includes threats from state and non-state actors, including major global powers, as well as terrorist organizations, emerging nuclear tensions, diverse regional security concerns, and political instability. These global threats persist across all domains, from undersea to space to cyber, and the global market for defense products, services, and solutions is driven by these complex and evolving security challenges. Our current operating environment exists in the broader context of political and socioeconomic priorities and reflects, among other things, the continued impact of and uncertainty surrounding geopolitical tensions, financial market volatility, inflation, and a challenging labor market.

For further information on our business environment, see the discussion under Business Environment under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING RESULTS

The following table presents selected financial highlights:

Showing the first 8K of 67K characters. Open the full section

We are exposed to certain market risks, including those relating to interest rates and inflation.

Interest Rates - Our floating rate financial instruments subject to interest rate risk include a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and a $1 billion commercial paper program. An increase of 1% in interest rates on the $117 million outstanding under our commercial paper program and the $22 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2024, would increase the interest expense on our debt by approximately $1 million on an annual basis.

Inflation - Macroeconomic factors have contributed, and we expect will continue to contribute, to increasing cost inflation for raw materials, components, and supplies. We mitigate some cost inflation risk by negotiating long-term agreements with certain raw material suppliers and incorporating price escalation provisions in customer contracts to the extent possible. We include assumptions of anticipated cost growth in the development of our contract cost of completion estimates, but if inflationary conditions continue over the long-term, our cost assumptions may not be sufficient to cover all cost escalation or may impact the availability of resources to execute the respective contracts. Persistent cost inflation over the long-term may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)

and Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred in the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have provided information about legal proceedings in which we are involved in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition to the matters disclosed in Part I, Item 1, we are a party to various investigations, lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Based on information available to us, we do not believe at this time that any of such other matters will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For further information on the risks we face from existing and future investigations, lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings, please see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A below.

Consistent with the requirements of SEC Regulation S-K, Item 103, our threshold for disclosing any environmental legal proceeding involving a governmental authority is potential monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, that our management believes will exceed $1 million.

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q, carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the 2023 Annual Report on Form 10–K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results.
