HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII" or the "Company") 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. HII is organized into three reportable segments: Ingalls Shipbuilding ("Ingalls"), Newport News Shipbuilding ("Newport News"), and Mission Technologies. For more than a century, the Company's Ingalls segment in Mississippi and Newport News segment in Virginia have built more ships in more ship classes than any other U.S. naval shipbuilder, making HII America's largest shipbuilder. The Mission Technologies segment develops integrated technology solutions and products that enable today's connected, all-domain force.
2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HII and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). As used in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited), the terms "HII" and "the Company" refer to HII and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For classification of current assets and liabilities related to its long-term production contracts, the Company uses the duration of these contracts as its operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. Additionally, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the "2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K").
The quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is management's long-standing practice to establish interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires the businesses to close their books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. This practice only exists for interim periods within a reporting year.
Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Except for the Company's long-term debt, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments that are recorded at historical cost approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and low credit risk associated with the respective counterparties.
The Company maintains multiple grantor trusts to fund certain non-qualified pension plans. These trusts were valued at $263 million and $249 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively, and are presented within miscellaneous other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. These trusts consist primarily of investments in marketable securities, which are held at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
The estimated fair values of the Company's total long-term debt as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were $2,699 million and $2,730 million, respectively. The fair values of the Company's long-term debt were calculated based on recent trades of the Company's debt instruments in inactive markets, which fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
3. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES
Recently Adopted Guidance
There were no new Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) adopted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 that had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of June 30, 2026
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The new guidance requires, among other things, tabular and qualitative disclosure of disaggregated expense information that is included in certain expense line items presented on the consolidated statement of operations. The new guidance also requires that the total amount and definition of selling expenses be disclosed. The new guidance is effective on a prospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption and retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. Among other targeted improvements, the new guidance amends existing software cost capitalization guidance by removing all references to software project development stages and providing criteria that clarify the threshold for software cost capitalization to begin. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance may be applied on a prospective basis, retrospective basis, or modified basis for in-process projects. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The new standard establishes authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, and presentation of a grant received by a business entity from a government, including guidance for a grant related to an asset and a grant related to income. The new guidance also amends certain existing disclosure requirements for government assistance provided to business entities. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The new guidance may be applied on a modified prospective basis, modified retrospective basis, or full retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
Other accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2026, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
4. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Treasury Stock - In January 2024, the Company's board of directors authorized an increase in the Company's stock repurchase program from $3.2 billion to $3.8 billion and an extension of the term of the program to December 31, 2028. Repurchases are made from time to time at management's discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company did not repurchase any shares. The cost of purchased shares is recorded as treasury stock in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
Dividends - The Company paid cash dividends totaling $109 million and $106 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss - Other comprehensive income (loss) refers to gains and losses recorded as an element of stockholders' equity but excluded from net earnings. The accumulated other comprehensive loss was comprised of unamortized benefit plan costs of $50 million and $53 million as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $57.3 billion of remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 35% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue through 2027, an additional 35% through 2029, and the balance thereafter.
Cumulative Catch-up Revenue Adjustments
The following table presents the effect of net cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments on operating income and diluted earnings per share:

(1) For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the effect of net cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments on operating income is materially consistent with the effect on revenue.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included a favorable adjustment of $28 million on the refueling and complex overhaul ("RCOH") of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) at the Company's Newport News segment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included an unfavorable adjustment of $48 million on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73) at the Company's Newport News segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, no individual favorable cumulative catch-up revenue adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included an unfavorable adjustment of $48 million on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73) at the Company's Newport News segment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included a favorable adjustment of $32 million on the Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) multi-year construction contract awarded in 2018 at the Company's Ingalls segment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2025, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included unfavorable adjustments of $42 million on the Enterprise (CVN 80) and Doris Miller (CVN 81) construction contract at the Company's Newport News segment and $20 million on the Bougainville (LHA 8) construction contract at the Company's Ingalls segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included a favorable adjustment of $33 million on the Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) multi-year construction contract awarded in 2018 at the Company's Ingalls segment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, cumulative catch-up revenue adjustments included an unfavorable adjustment of $43 million on the Enterprise (CVN 80) and Doris Miller (CVN 81) construction contract at the Company's Newport News segment.
Contract Balances
The Company reports contract balances in a net contract asset or contract liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Net contract assets were comprised as follows:
| ($ in millions) | June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | ||||||||||||
| Contract assets | $ | 2,154 | $ | 1,758 | ||||||||||
| Contract liabilities | 690 | 1,220 | ||||||||||||
| Net contract assets | $ | 1,464 | $ | 538 |
The Company’s net contract assets increased $926 million from December 31, 2025 to June 30, 2026, primarily as a result of the timing of billings across programs on certain U.S. Navy contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized revenue of $197 million and $955 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2025. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company
recognized revenue of $52 million and $604 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

8. INCOME TAXES
The Company's earnings are primarily domestic, and its effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were 18.1% and 19.1%, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company's effective income tax rates on earnings from operations were 19.2% and 19.7%, respectively. The lower effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, were primarily attributable to income tax benefits associated with stock award settlement activity.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to income tax benefits associated with stock award settlement activity.
The Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $1 million and $4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the estimated amounts of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were liabilities of $109 million. Assuming a sustainment of these tax positions, a reversal of $85 million of the accrued amounts would favorably affect the Company's effective federal income tax rate in future periods.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, interest and penalties resulting from the unrecognized tax benefits noted above increased income tax expense by $1 million and $3 million, respectively.
Non-current state income taxes include 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 unrecognized tax benefits 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.
Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") Audits - The Company reached an agreement in principle with the IRS on the research and development tax credits for the 2016-2021 tax years in 2025. This resolution was submitted to the Joint Committee on Taxation for approval in March 2026. Also, in the first quarter of 2026, the IRS initiated an audit of the research and development tax credits claimed on the Company's filed returns for the 2022-2023 tax years. The Company believes that its unrecognized tax benefits are adequate and will cover the expected impact of the agreement with the IRS and any adjustments resulting from the IRS audit of the 2022-2023 research and development tax credits.
9. INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS, AND LITIGATION
The Company is involved in legal proceedings before various courts and administrative agencies, and is periodically subject to government examinations, inquiries and investigations. The Company accrues for losses associated with legal proceedings when, and to the extent that, loss amounts related to the legal proceedings are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual losses that might be incurred to resolve such legal proceedings may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued. The Company also provides footnote disclosure for matters for which a material
loss is reasonably possible but a reserve has not been accrued because the likelihood of a material loss is not probable.
Antitrust Complaint - In October 2023, a class action antitrust lawsuit was filed against the Company and other defendants in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. The lawsuit names several HII companies, among other companies, as defendants. The named plaintiffs generally allege that the defendant companies have adhered to a “gentlemen’s agreement” that prohibits any defendant from actively recruiting naval engineers from other defendants. The complaint seeks class certification, treble damages, and any other relief to which the plaintiffs are entitled. The District Court dismissed the lawsuit against all defendants in April 2024 on statute of limitations grounds without addressing the motions to dismiss filed by the defendants on other grounds. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. In November 2025, the District Court denied the defendants' remaining motions to dismiss the lawsuit. In March 2026, the Company reached agreement with the plaintiffs to resolve their claims. The Company has recorded a liability related to the agreement that is not material to the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Insurance Claim - In September 2020, the Company filed a complaint against 32 reinsurers in the Superior Court, State of Vermont, Franklin Unit, seeking a judgment declaring that the Company's business interruption and other losses associated with COVID-19 are covered by the Company's property insurance program. The Company also initiated arbitration proceedings against six other reinsurers seeking similar relief. In July 2021, the Vermont court granted the reinsurers’ motion for judgment on the pleadings, which would have ended the Company’s claim. The Company appealed the decision to the Vermont Supreme Court, which reversed and remanded the lower court’s decision in September 2022, allowing the Company’s claim to proceed. In April 2026, the lower court granted the reinsurers' motion for summary judgment. The Company has appealed the lower court's decision to the Vermont Supreme Court and cannot at this time predict the outcome of this matter.
U.S. Government Investigations and Claims - Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory, treble, or other damages. U.S. Government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may also lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts or the loss of export privileges. Any suspension or debarment would have a material effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts.
In 2024, the Company identified certain quality issues involving noncompliance with welding procedures at Newport News. The Company commenced an investigation and disclosed the matter to the U.S. Government. The Company continues to work with its U.S. Navy customer to evaluate the full extent of the matter and cannot at this time predict or reasonably estimate the ultimate outcome of this matter.
Asbestos Related Claims - HII and its predecessors-in-interest are defendants in a longstanding series of cases that have been and continue to be filed in various jurisdictions around the country, wherein former and current employees and various third parties allege exposure to asbestos containing materials while on or associated with HII premises or while working on vessels constructed or repaired by HII. In some instances, partial or full insurance coverage is available for the Company's liabilities. The costs to resolve cases during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, were not material individually or in the aggregate. The Company’s estimate of asbestos-related liabilities is subject to uncertainty because such liabilities are influenced by many variables that are inherently difficult to predict. Although the Company believes the ultimate resolution of current cases will not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict what new or revised claims or litigation might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of asbestos related litigation.
Other - The Company is party to various other claims, arbitrations, investigations, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, including U.S. Government investigations and claims that could result in administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings involving the Company. The Company is a contractor with the U.S. Government, and such proceedings can therefore include False Claims Act allegations against the Company. Based on the information available to the Company to date, the Company believes that the resolution of these other claims, legal proceedings, and investigations will not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, the Company cannot predict what new or revised claims, litigation, or
other proceedings might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Contract Performance Contingencies - Contract profit margins may include estimates of revenues for matters on which the customer and the Company have not reached agreement, such as settlements in the process of negotiation, contract changes, claims, and requests for equitable adjustment for unanticipated contract costs. These estimates are based upon management's best assessment of the underlying causal events and circumstances and recognized to the extent of expected recovery based upon contractual entitlements and the probability of successful negotiation with the customer. The Company believes its outstanding customer settlements will be resolved without material impact to its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Environmental Matters - The estimated costs to complete environmental remediation are accrued when it is probable that the Company will incur such costs in the future to address environmental conditions at currently or formerly owned or leased operating facilities, or at sites where it has been named a Potentially Responsible Party by the Environmental Protection Agency or similarly designated by another environmental agency, and the related costs can be reasonably estimated by management. When only a range of costs is established and no amount within the range is more probable than another, the minimum amount in the range is accrued. Environmental liabilities are recorded on an undiscounted basis and are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Capitalized expenditures, if any, relate to long-lived improvements in currently operating facilities. The Company does not record insurance recoveries before collection is probable. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any accrued receivables related to insurance reimbursements or recoveries for environmental matters.
The Company’s environmental liability accruals do not include any litigation costs related to environmental matters, nor do they include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. Management estimates that as of June 30, 2026, the probable estimable future cost for environmental remediation is not material. Although management cannot predict whether new information gained as remediation progresses or the Company incurs additional remediation obligations will materially affect the estimated liability accrued, management does not believe that future remediation expenditures will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Financial Arrangements - In the ordinary course of business, HII uses letters of credit issued by commercial banks to support certain leases, insurance policies, and contractual performance obligations, as well as surety bonds issued by insurance companies principally to support the Company's self-insured workers' compensation plans. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $10 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit and $283 million of surety bonds outstanding.
U.S. Government Claims - From time to time, the U.S. Government communicates to the Company potential claims, disallowed costs, and penalties concerning prior costs incurred by the Company with which the U.S. Government disagrees. When such preliminary findings are presented, the Company and U.S. Government representatives engage in discussions, from which the Company evaluates the merits of the claims and assesses the amounts being questioned. Although the Company believes that the resolution of any of these matters will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.
Collective Bargaining Agreements - Of the Company's approximately 45,000 employees, 45% are covered by a total of 13 collective bargaining agreements. Newport News has three collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, which expire in February 2030, December 2030 and April 2031. Ingalls has five collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, all of which expire in March 2031. Mission Technologies has a total of 80 employees covered by five collective bargaining agreements, which expire in September 2026, December 2027, September 2028, and two that expire in August 2027.
Collective bargaining agreements generally expire after three to five years and are subject to renegotiation at that time. The Company believes its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.
Purchase Obligations - Periodically the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum
quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These obligations are primarily comprised of open purchase order commitments to vendors and subcontractors pertaining to funded contracts.

12. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company issued new stock awards as follows:
Restricted Performance Stock Rights - For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million RPSRs at a weighted average share price of $433.96. These rights are subject to cliff vesting on December 31, 2028. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted approximately 0.2 million RPSRs at a weighted average share price of $168.81. These rights are subject to cliff vesting on December 31, 2027. All of the RPSRs are subject to the achievement of performance-based targets at the end of the respective vesting periods and will ultimately vest between 0% and 200% of grant date value.
Compensation Restricted Stock Rights - For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million compensation RSRs at a weighted average share price of $434.27. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted approximately 0.1 million compensation RSRs at a weighted average share price of $168.92. These rights vest 33 1/3% upon each of the first, second, and third anniversaries of the grant date.
Retention Restricted Stock Rights - Retention stock awards are granted to key employees primarily to incentivize continued employment with the Company. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted approximately 1,900 retention RSRs at a weighted average share price of $363.70, with cliff vesting two years from the grant date. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted approximately 1,300 retention RSRs at a weighted average share price of $189.38, with cliff vesting one to two years from the grant date.
The Company also received transfers of stock awards from employees in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations associated with the vesting of stock awards during the period. Because the stock awards are surrendered in lieu of payments of cash to settle tax obligations and the stock is not issued, the Company does not account for these transfers as treasury stock.
Stock award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, was as follows:
| Stock Awards (in thousands) | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value | Weighted-Average Remaining Contractual Term (in years) | ||||||||||||||||||
