Total Revenues
Total revenues came in at $2.03 billion, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.14 billion by 5.3%. The top line also declined 7.4% from $2.19 billion in the year-ago quarter. The decrease was primarily due to revenue loss at the Newport News and Technical Solutions divisions.
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Huntington Ingalls incurred total operating loss of $5 million against operating income of $138 million in the second quarter of 2019.
Huntington Ingalls received orders worth $2.9 billion during the second quarter. As a result, the company’s total backlog reached $46.1 billion as of Jun 30, 2020.
Segmental Performance
Newport News Shipbuilding: Revenues totaled $1,122 million at this segment, down 12.3% year over year, on account of lower revenues from aircraft carriers and submarine construction.
Meanwhile, the segment incurred operating loss of $69 million against operating income of $71 million in the year-ago quarter. This downside was due to unfavorable cumulative catch-up adjustments on Block IV boats of the Virginia-class submarine program as well as the impact of discrete COVID-19 delay and disruption.
Ingalls Shipbuilding: Revenues at this segment remained flat at $622 million, as higher revenues from the Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program, the San Antonio-class LPD program and the America-class LHA program were offset by lower revenues from the Arleigh Burke-class DDG program.
Also, operating income declined 20.3% to $55 million, while operating margin contracted 225 basis points(bps) to 8.8%. These decreases were on account of unfavorable adjustments, including delay and disruption from COVID-19 and lower risk retirement on the Legend-class NSC program.
Technical Solutions: Revenues at this segment slipped 0.3% to $320 million on account of lower mission driven innovative solutions (MDIS), fleet support and nuclear and environmental services revenues.
The segment’s operating income was $9 million against operating loss of $2 millionin second-quarter 2019.
