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 (formerly named Technical Solutions). 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. The Mission Technologies segment delivers high-value engineering and technology solutions to enable multi-domain distributed operations in the government and commercial services markets.

HII conducts most of its business with the U.S. Government, primarily the Department of Defense ("DoD"). As prime contractor, principal subcontractor, team member, or partner, the Company participates in many high-priority U.S. defense programs. Through its Ingalls segment, HII is a builder of amphibious assault and expeditionary warfare ships for the U.S. Navy, the sole builder of National Security Cutters for the U.S. Coast Guard, and one of only two companies that builds the Navy's current fleet of Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers. Through its Newport News segment, HII is the nation's sole designer, builder, and refueler of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, and one of only two companies currently designing and building nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy. The 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; platform modernization; and critical nuclear operations.

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"). 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.

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, 2021.

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. The effects of this practice only exist 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 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.

Table of Contents                                        
The Company maintains multiple grantor trusts to fund certain non-qualified pension plans. These trusts were valued at $196 million and $220 million as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are presented within miscellaneous other assets within 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 (including current portion) as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, were $2,768 million and $3,449 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the current portion of the Company's long-term debt was $386 million as of September 30, 2022. 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 under the fair value hierarchy.

Debt Prepayment - As of September 30, 2022, $325 million of the Company's Term Loan due August 19, 2024 has been prepaid, with a remaining balance of $325 million.

3. ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES

Accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after December 31, 2022, are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

4. ACQUISITIONS

On August 19, 2021, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of Alion Holding Corp., the parent company of Alion Science and Technology Corporation (“Alion”), a technology-driven solutions provider. The Company accounted for the transaction as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805 Business Combinations. The purchase price was $1.79 billion, including $148 million of cash received in the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company originally recorded $1,024 million of goodwill, which included the value of Alion's workforce, and $720 million of intangible assets related to customer relationships and existing contract backlog. The goodwill is attributable to operational synergies and growth opportunities and was allocated to the Company's Mission Technologies segment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a decrease to goodwill of $10 million, resulting from updates to Alion’s tax carryforwards and the true-up of estimated taxes to filed income tax returns for the pre-acquisition period. The acquisition accounting was completed at September 30, 2022. None of the goodwill resulting from this acquisition is expected to be amortizable for tax purposes.

Alion provides advanced engineering and research and development services in the areas of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance, military training and simulation, cyber, data analytics, and other next-generation technology based solutions to the DoD and intelligence community customers, with the U.S. Navy representing about one-third of current annual revenues.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited consolidated pro forma summary has been prepared by adjusting the Company's historical data to give effect to the acquisition of Alion as if it had occurred on January 1, 2021.

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information was prepared in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have occurred if the acquisition had been completed on the date indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results of the Company.

The unaudited pro forma results do not reflect events that either have occurred or may occur after the acquisition date, including, but not limited to, the anticipated realization of operating synergies in subsequent periods. These results also do not give effect to certain charges that the Company incurred in connection with the acquisition, including, but not limited to, additional professional fees and employee integration.

5. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Treasury Stock - In November 2019, the Company's board of directors authorized an increase in the Company's stock repurchase program from $2.2 billion to $3.2 billion and an extension of the term of the program to October 31, 2024. Repurchases are made from time to time at management's discretion in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 196,850 shares at an aggregate cost of $41 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased 469,436 shares at an aggregate cost of $87 million. 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 $142 million and $138 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 as of September 30, 2022, was comprised of unamortized benefit plan costs of $969 million and other comprehensive loss of $1 million. The accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2021, was comprised of unamortized benefit plan costs of $923 million.

7. REVENUE

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company's contracts with customers typically fall into one of four categories: firm fixed-price, fixed-price incentive, cost-type, and time and materials.

Firm Fixed-Price Contracts - A firm fixed-price contract is a contract in which the specified scope of work is agreed to for a price that is predetermined by bid or negotiation and not generally subject to adjustment regardless of costs incurred by the contractor.

Fixed-Price Incentive Contracts - Fixed-price incentive contracts provide for reimbursement of the contractor's allowable costs, but are subject to a cost-share limit that affects profitability. Fixed-price incentive contracts effectively become firm fixed-price contracts once the cost-share limit is reached.

Cost-Type Contracts - Cost-type contracts provide for reimbursement of the contractor's allowable costs plus a fee that represents profit. Cost-type contracts generally require that the contractor use its reasonable efforts to accomplish the scope of the work within some specified time and some stated dollar limitation.

Time and Materials - Time and materials contracts specify a fixed hourly billing rate for each direct labor hour expended and reimbursement for allowable material costs and expenses.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, no individual favorable adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, no individual unfavorable adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, no individual adjustment was material to the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

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. The Company’s net contract assets increased $137 million from December 31, 2021, to September 30, 2022, primarily resulting from an increase in contract assets related to revenue on certain U.S. Navy contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $17 million and $548 million, respectively, related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2021. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize revenue related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recognized revenue of $447 million related to its contract liabilities as of December 31, 2020.

9. GOODWILL

The Company’s annual goodwill impairment test will be performed as of November 30, 2022, whereby management will test goodwill for each of its three reporting units with goodwill balances to determine whether an event occurred or circumstances changed that would more likely than not reduce the fair values of the Company's reporting units below their respective carrying values. The Company expects that the fair value of the Government Services reporting unit within the Mission Technologies segment will exceed carrying value by less than 10%. The Company expects that the estimated fair values of its remaining reporting units will exceed by more than 10% their corresponding carrying values as of November 30, 2022.

10. INCOME TAXES

The Company's earnings are primarily domestic, and its effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were 14.8% and (4.3)%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company's effective income tax rates on earnings from operations were 18.6% and 10.7%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were primarily attributable to research and development tax credits for prior periods recorded in 2021.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate primarily as a result of research and development tax credits for prior periods.

The Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $5 million and $10 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. As of September 30, 2022, the estimated amounts of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were liabilities of $91 million. Assuming a sustainment of these tax positions, a reversal of $69 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, interest resulting from the unrecognized tax benefits noted above increased income tax expense by less than $1 million and $1 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 unrecognized state 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.

11. 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. Pursuant to FASB ASC 450 Contingencies, the Company has accrued for losses associated with investigations, claims, and litigation when, and to the extent that, loss amounts related to the investigations, claims, and litigation are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual losses that might be incurred to resolve such investigations, claims, and litigation may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued. The Company has, in certain cases, provided disclosure regarding certain matters for which the Company believes at this time that the likelihood of material loss is remote.

Table of Contents                                        
False Claims Act Complaint - In 2016, the Company was made aware that it is a defendant in a qui tam False Claims Act lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida related to the Company’s purchases of allegedly non-conforming parts from a supplier for use in connection with U.S. Government contracts. In August 2019, the Department of Justice (“DoJ”) declined to intervene in the lawsuit, and the lawsuit was unsealed. The court dismissed the complaint in September 2021, and the plaintiff has appealed the dismissal to the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.

Insurance Claims - 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. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter.
In September 2021, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court of Delaware, seeking a judgment against certain insurers for breach of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing under three representations and warranties insurance policies purchased in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Hydroid. The policies insure the Company against losses relating to the seller’s breach of certain representations and warranties in the Hydroid acquisition agreement. The coverage limit under the insurance policies is $70 million, and the Company believes it has incurred losses equal to at least that amount as a result of breaches of the acquisition agreement. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were not material individually or in the aggregate. The Company’s estimate of asbestos-related liabilities is subject to uncertainty because 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations, and 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 Litigation - The Company and its predecessor-in-interest have been in litigation with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (the "Republic") since 2002 over a contract for the repair, refurbishment, and modernization at Ingalls of two foreign-built frigates. Following an arbitration proceeding between the parties, in February 2018, the arbitral tribunal awarded the Company approximately $151 million on its claims and awarded the Republic approximately $22 million on its counterclaims. The Company is seeking to enforce and execute upon the award in multiple jurisdictions. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter.
The Company is party to various other claims, legal proceedings, and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business, including U.S. Government investigations 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. Although the Company believes that the resolution of these other claims, legal proceedings, and investigations will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, the Company 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 these matters.

12. 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. As of September 30, 2022, amounts recognized in connection with claims and requests for equitable adjustment were not material individually or in the aggregate.

Environmental Matters - The estimated cost to complete environmental remediation has been 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 estimated by management. These 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 September 30, 2022, the probable estimable future cost for environmental remediation was 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, and 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 September 30, 2022, the Company had $14 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit and $360 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, and cash flows, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Other Matters - In 1985, the Company and the U.S. Navy entered into a settlement agreement to resolve disputes associated with billing and allocating to contracts the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance, among other matters. Consistent with the 1985 settlement agreement, the Company has not recovered cumulative billable costs resulting from the different treatment of workers' compensation costs between CAS and U.S. GAAP Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS"). Under the 1985 settlement agreement, these costs would be recovered in future periods. In December 2020, a U.S. Navy Contracting Officer issued a determination that the 1985 settlement agreement did not comply with CAS and directed the Company to develop and implement a different process to bill and allocate the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance. The Company has submitted to the Navy a proposed draft alternative approach to billing and allocating the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance, while continuing to reiterate its belief that the 1985 settlement agreement remains binding on the parties. Although the Company believes the 1985 settlement agreement is CAS-compliant and cannot be unilaterally terminated, the Company is seeking to negotiate a resolution of the matter with the Contracting Officer.

In August 2022, the Navy Contracting Officer issued a written determination that the Ingalls Shipbuilding Property Management System had a significant deficiency, resulting in a 2% withhold of payments on certain invoices issued under one contract. The withhold will terminate and withheld funds paid to the Company when the Contracting Officer determines that the significant deficiency has been corrected. Although the Company believes the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict or give assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Collective Bargaining Agreements - Of the Company's approximately 43,000 employees, approximately 45% are covered by a total of nine collective bargaining agreements and one site stabilization agreement. The Company believes its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

13. EMPLOYEE PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company provides eligible employees defined benefit pension plans, other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution pension plans.

Total contributions$32 $94 

As of September 30, 2022, the Company anticipates no further significant cash contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans in 2022.

On September 6, 2022, the Company purchased annuity contracts to transfer $32 million of gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets to an insurance company for approximately 500 retirees and beneficiaries. The annuity contracts were purchased using assets from the pension master trust, and no additional funding contribution was required. This transaction had no impact on the amount, timing, or form of the monthly retirement benefit payments to the affected retirees and beneficiaries. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a noncash, non-operating pension settlement gain of $4 million for the affected plan, which represents the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses that were included in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity.

In March 2022, the Company concluded negotiations on one of its collective bargaining agreements, which required an amendment to one of the Company's pension plans. As a result of the amendment, the remeasurement of the plan increased the pension liability and pre-tax accumulated other comprehensive loss by approximately $97 million.

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, 2021.

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 increasing inflation, among other impacts.

U.S. Government Contracts - Long-term uncertainty exists with respect to overall levels of defense spending across the future years' defense plan, and it is likely that U.S. Government discretionary spending levels will continue to be subject to significant pressure.

Congressional consideration of the fiscal year 2023 President’s Budget Request began following its release in March 2022, and appropriations for the Federal government have yet to be finalized. Consequently, the U.S. Government is currently operating under a Continuing Resolution ("CR") that funds government operations through December 16, 2022. The House Appropriations Committee voted out a defense appropriations measure earlier this year, and the Senate Appropriations Committee released the text of its defense appropriations measure, but a traditional markup process remains uncertain. The House and Senate Armed Services Committees have acted on their respective National Defense Authorization bills for fiscal year 2023, both of which broadly support our shipbuilding programs. The full House has approved its authorization bill and awaits Senate floor consideration of its version before the two bills are reconciled to produce a final measure. It remains uncertain at this point whether fiscal year 2023 government operations will require additional short-term funding or, alternatively, annual appropriations measures will be finalized by the expiration of the CR. Appropriations measures must be passed by Congress and enacted by the President, and we cannot predict the outcome of the fiscal year 2023 budget process.

Long-term funding for certain programs in which we participate may be reduced, delayed, or canceled. In addition, spending cuts and/or reprioritization of defense investment could adversely affect the viability of our suppliers, subcontractors, and employee base. Our contracts or subcontracts under programs in which we participate may be terminated or adjusted by the U.S. Government or the prime contractor due to lack of government funding or reductions or delays in government funding. Significant reductions in the number of ships procured by the U.S. Navy or significant delays in funding our ship programs would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

The federal budget environment remains a significant long-term risk. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will develop and what challenges budget changes will present for the defense industry. We believe continued budget pressures could have serious implications for defense discretionary spending, the defense industrial base, including HII, and the customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors, investors, and communities that rely on companies in the defense industrial base. Although it is difficult to determine specific impacts, we expect that over the longer term, the budget environment may result in fewer contract awards and lower revenues, profits, and cash flows from our U.S. Government contracts. It is likely budget and program decisions made in this environment will have long-term impacts on HII and the entire defense industry.

Political and Economic Environment – The global geopolitical and economic environment continues to be impacted by uncertainty, heightened tensions, and instability. Geopolitical relationships have changed, and are continuing 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, a challenging labor market, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. In response, the United States and other countries imposed economic and trade sanctions, export controls, and other restrictions. The conflict and these sanctions have caused disruptions to global economies and global business, including heightened cybersecurity risks, supply chain challenges, higher energy costs, and an exacerbation of existing inflationary pressures. Additionally, and more broadly, tensions with China and changes in international trade policies, including higher tariffs on imported goods and materials and renegotiation of free trade agreements, could impact the global market for defense products, services, and solutions.

In addition to price surges in energy, food, and aluminum, rising inflation has led to higher costs of various commodities and supplier products. Inflation has also resulted in rising interest rates, raising the cost of borrowing for the federal government, which could impact other spending priorities. In an era of unanticipated cost increases, the inclusion of mitigation mechanisms, such as Economic Price Adjustment clauses, in our contracts help reduce risks from negative price adjustments. Our bids for longer-term firm fixed-price contracts typically include assumptions for labor and other contract costs that historically have been sufficient to cover cost increases over the period of performance. If, however, recent inflationary conditions continue over the long-term, our cost assumptions may not be sufficient to cover potential contract cost growth or may impact the availability of resources to execute the respective contracts. Management is closely monitoring possible cost impacts with our customers.

The macro labor market continues to present significant challenges, and those challenges are continuing to impact our operations and our financial performance. We are aggressively responding to the labor market challenges, including utilizing outside leased labor and overtime to mitigate the short-term deficit of employees and implementing aggressive hiring and retention programs. Labor shortages are also impacting our supply chain, resulting in longer lead times for materials and inflationary pressure. Our longer term ability to meet contract requirements, as well as our financial performance, are dependent on our ability to attract and retain a stable skilled workforce.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 was signed into law during the third quarter of 2022 and included, among other things, provisions for an alternative minimum tax and a one percent excise tax on share repurchases. We anticipate being subject to the excise tax beginning in 2023 and continue to evaluate other provisions of the Act for their impact on our business.

COVID-19 Pandemic - The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically impacted the global economic environment, including labor shortages and supply chain challenges. The COVID-19 crisis initially had a significant impact on the U.S. labor market, and the resulting challenges and uncertainty have exacerbated already existing workforce trends. Talent attraction and retention and the ability to maintain a qualified workforce affects not only industry prime contractors but suppliers as well. Challenges incurred by our suppliers relative to their workforces, access to necessary components, materials, and other supplies at reasonable prices, and access to support services, such as shipping and transportation, may impact the ability of suppliers to provide agreed-upon goods and services in a timely, compliant, and cost-effective manner. We may in the future incur additional costs and performance challenges, including as a result of higher prices, schedule delays, or the need to identify and develop alternative suppliers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our employees, customers, suppliers, and communities (collectively, “COVID-19 Events”). While costs related to COVID-19 Events are allowable under U.S. Government contracts, our contract financial estimates reflect profit margin impact uncertainty, because such costs may not result in equitable adjustments, particularly on firm fixed-price and fixed-price incentive contracts, or may not be adequately covered by insurance. Reinsurers under our property insurance have failed to acknowledge coverage for various losses related to COVID-19, and we filed a complaint in state court in Vermont seeking a judgment declaring that our business interruption and other losses associated with COVID-19 are covered by our property insurance program. We also initiated arbitration proceedings against other reinsurers seeking similar relief. The Vermont court dismissed our complaint, and we appealed the decision to the Vermont Supreme Court. That court reversed and remanded the lower court’s decision in September 2022, allowing our claim to proceed. No assurance can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter. See Note 11: Investigations, Claims, and Litigation.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, we consider our policies relating to the following matters to be critical accounting policies and estimates:

Revenue recognition;

Purchase accounting, goodwill, and intangible assets;

Litigation, commitments, and contingencies;

Retirement related benefit plans; and

Workers' compensation.

As of September 30, 2022, there had been no material changes to the foregoing critical accounting policies, estimates, and judgments since December 31, 2021.

We have incorporated realized and estimated future effects of COVID-19 Events, based upon current conditions and our judgment of the future impacts of COVID-19 Events, with respect to contract costs and revenue recognition, effective income tax rates, and the fair values of our long-lived assets, financial instruments, intangible assets, and goodwill recorded at our reporting units.

Contracts

We generate most of our revenues from multi-year contracts with the U.S. Government for design, production, and support activities. Due to the size, duration, and nature of many of our multi-year contracts, the estimation of sales and services revenues and costs through completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Sales and service revenue estimates are based on negotiated contract prices, modified by our assumptions regarding contract options, change orders, incentive and award provisions associated with schedule, technical performance, and price adjustment clauses (such as inflation or index-based clauses). These multi-year contracts generally have a transaction price that is based on estimated cost to produce the product or service plus margin. Product and service cost estimates are based on negotiated or estimated contract terms, historical performance trends, and other economic projections. Government contracts typically include the following cost elements: direct material, labor and subcontracting costs, and certain indirect costs, including allowable general and administrative expenses. Factors that influence our cost estimates include inflationary trends, technical and schedule risk, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, COVID-19 disruptions, and capital costs.

Unless otherwise specified in a contract, costs billed to contracts with the U.S. Government are treated as allowable and allocable costs under the FAR and CAS regulations. Examples of costs incurred by us that are not allowable under the FAR and CAS regulations include certain legal costs, lobbying costs, charitable donations, interest expense, organizational costs, including certain merger and acquisition costs, and advertising costs.

Contract Fees - Negotiated contract fee structures include: fixed fee amounts, cost sharing arrangements to reward or penalize contractors for under- or over-cost target performance, respectively, positive award fees, and negative penalty arrangements. Profit margins may vary materially depending on the negotiated contract fee arrangements, percentage-of-completion of the contract, the achievement of performance objectives, and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined.

Award Fees - Certain contracts contain award fees based on performance criteria such as cost, schedule, quality, and technical performance. Award fees are determined and earned based on an evaluation by the customer of our performance against such negotiated criteria. We consider award fees to be variable consideration and generally include these fees in the transaction price using a most likely amount approach. Award fees are limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance and those amounts for which a significant reversal of revenue is not probable.

Operating Performance Assessment and Reporting

We manage and assess the performance of our business based on our performance on individual contracts and programs using the financial measures referred to below, with consideration given to the Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments referred to in this section. Our portfolio of long-term contracts is largely flexibly-priced. Therefore, sales tend to fluctuate in concert with costs across our large portfolio of active contracts, with operating income being a critical measure of operating performance. Under FAR rules that govern our business with the U.S. Government, most types of costs are allowable, and we do not focus on individual cost groupings, such as cost of sales or general and administrative expenses, as much as we do on total contract costs, which are a key factor in determining contract operating income. As a result, in evaluating our operating performance, we look primarily at changes in sales and service revenues, as well as operating income, including the effects of significant changes in operating income as a result of changes in contract financial estimates and the use of the cumulative catch-up method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. This approach is consistent with the long-term life cycle of our contracts, as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on net sales and operating profit and monitors performance in a similar manner through contract completion. Consequently, our discussion of business segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit, consistent with our approach for managing our business.

Cost of sales for both product sales and service revenues consists of materials, labor, and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs for overhead. We manage the type and amount of costs at the contract level, which is the basis for estimating our total costs at completion of our contracts. Unusual fluctuations in operating performance driven by changes in a specific cost element across multiple contracts are described in our analysis.

Cost of Product Sales

Cost of product sales for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased $64 million, or 4%, compared with the same period in 2021. Cost of product sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $109 million, or 2%, compared with the same period in 2021. Ingalls cost of product sales increased $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of lower risk retirement on Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers, partially offset by volume decreases described above. Ingalls cost of product sales decreased $30 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily as a result of volume decreases described above, partially offset by higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30). Newport News cost of product sales increased $70 million and $146 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of volume increases described above. Mission Technologies cost of product sales decreased $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, driven by volume changes described above. Mission Technologies cost of product sales remained flat for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Cost of product sales related to the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment decreased $3 million and $7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as described below.

Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales increased from 85.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, to 85.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition, and lower risk retirement on Ted Stevens (DDG 128) and Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), partially offset by contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program, higher risk retirement on USS Portland (LPD 27), as well as a favorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment. Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased from 84.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to 84.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses, contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program, higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) following its delivery, as well as a favorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment, partially offset by lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, and receipt of a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) in 2021.

Cost of Service Revenues

Cost of service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased $193 million, or 35%, compared with the same period in 2021. Cost of service revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $802 million, or 55%, compared with the same period in 2021. Ingalls cost of service revenues increased $6 million and $18 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of higher volumes described above. Newport News cost of service revenues decreased $8 million and $58

million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of lower volumes described above. Mission Technologies cost of service revenues increased $197 million and $845 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily as a result of higher volumes described above. Cost of service revenues related to the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment decreased $2 million and $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, as described below.

Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues increased from 87.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2021, to 87.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition and year-to-year variances in contract mix, partially offset by improved performance in DFS services due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, as well as a favorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues increased from 87.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, to 88.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily driven by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition and year-to-year variances in contract mix, partially offset by improved performance in DFS services due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, as well as a favorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment.

Income from Operating Investments, Net

The activities of our operating investments are closely aligned with the operations of the segments holding the investments. We therefore record income related to earnings from equity method investments in our operating income.

Income from operating investments, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $2 million and $16 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021, primarily due to higher equity income from our investment in an unconsolidated ship repair and specialty fabrication joint venture and from our nuclear and environmental joint ventures.

Other Income and Gains, Net

Other income and gains, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $2 million less than the same period in 2021, primarily due to a gain recognized in the third quarter of 2021 as a result of a favorable claim resolution. Other income and gains, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $3 million less than the prior year period, primarily due to gains recognized as a result of a favorable claim resolution and the sale of our oil and gas business in 2021.

General and Administrative Expenses

In accordance with industry practice and the regulations that govern the cost accounting requirements for government contracts, most general and administrative expenses are considered allowable and allocable costs on government contracts. These costs are allocated to contracts in progress on a systematic basis, and contract performance factors include this cost component as an element of cost.

General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $18 million and $52 million, respectively, from the same periods in 2021, primarily due to higher overhead costs as a result of the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021 and current state income tax expense, partially offset by favorable changes in non-current state income taxes.

Operating Income

We consider operating income to be an important measure for evaluating our operating performance, and, consistent with industry practice, we define operating income as revenues less the related costs of producing the revenues and general and administrative expenses.

We internally manage our operations by reference to "segment operating income," which is defined as operating income before the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes, neither of which affects segment performance. Segment operating income is not a recognized measure under GAAP.  When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use segment operating income in addition to, and not as an alternative for, operating income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. It is a measure we use to
24

Table of Contents                                        
evaluate our core operating performance.  We believe segment operating income reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe the measure is used by investors and is a useful indicator to measure our performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of segment operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $166 million, compared with segment operating income of $163 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program, improved performance in DFS services due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, higher equity income, and higher risk retirement on the USS Portland (LPD 27), partially offset by lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition, and lower risk retirement on Ted Stevens (DDG 128) and Delbert D. Black (DDG 119).

Segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $567 million, compared with segment operating income of $523 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses, contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program, higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), improved performance in DFS services due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, and higher equity income, partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition, lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, and receipt of a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) in 2021.

Activity within each segment is discussed in Segment Operating Results below.

FAS/CAS Adjustment and Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment

The FAS/CAS Adjustment reflects the difference between expenses for pension and other postretirement benefits determined in accordance with GAAP ("FAS") and the expenses for these items included in segment operating income in accordance with U.S. Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"). The Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment excludes the following components of net periodic benefit costs: interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost (credit) and actuarial loss (gain), and settlement and curtailment effects.

The components of the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment were as follows:

and $118 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The favorable changes in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment of $5 million and $10 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, were primarily driven by the more immediate recognition of higher interest rates under FAS.

Non-current State Income Taxes

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.

Non-current state income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $1 million, compared to non-current state income tax expense of $4 million for the same period in 2021. The favorable change in non-current state income taxes was driven by a decrease in deferred state income tax expense, primarily attributable to an increase in expenses that are not currently deductible for income tax purposes. Non-current state income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $1 million, compared to non-current state income tax expense of $12 million for the same period in 2021. The favorable change in non-current state income taxes was driven by a decrease in deferred state income tax expense, primarily attributable to an increase in expenses that are not currently deductible for income tax purposes.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $3 million and $16 million, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2021, primarily due to the issuance of senior notes and borrowing under the Term Loan in the third quarter of 2021.

Non-Operating Retirement Benefit

The non-operating retirement benefit includes the following components of net periodic benefit costs: interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost (credit) and actuarial loss (gain), and settlement and curtailment effects. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the favorable change in the non-operating retirement benefit of $26 million and $74 million was primarily driven by higher 2021 returns on plan assets.

Other, Net

Other, net expense increased $15 million and $40 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2021, primarily driven by realized and unrealized net losses in investments.

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were 14.8% and (4.3)%, respectively. Our effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, were 18.6% and 10.7%, respectively. The higher effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, were primarily attributable to research and development tax credits for prior periods recorded in 2021.

For each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, our effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate primarily as a result of research and development tax credits for prior periods. See Note 10: Income Taxes.

KEY SEGMENT FINANCIAL MEASURES

Sales and Service Revenues

Period-to-period revenues reflect performance under new and ongoing contracts. Changes in sales and service revenues are typically expressed in terms of volume. Unless otherwise described, volume generally refers to increases (or decreases) in reported revenues due to varying production activity levels, delivery rates, or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes will typically carry a corresponding income change based on the profit margin rate for a particular contract.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income reflects the aggregate performance results of contracts within a segment. Excluded from this measure are certain costs not directly associated with contract performance, such as the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes. Changes in segment operating income are typically expressed in terms of volume, as discussed above, or performance. Performance refers to changes in contract profit margin rates. These changes typically relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to estimated costs at completion ("EAC") that reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance on that contract. Operating income changes are accounted for on a cumulative to date basis at the time an EAC change is recorded. Segment operating income may also be affected by, among other things, contract performance, the effects of workforce stoppages, the effects of natural disasters such as hurricanes, resolution of disputed items with the customer, recovery of insurance proceeds, and other discrete events. At the completion of a long-term contract, any originally estimated costs not incurred or reserves not fully utilized, such as warranty reserves, could also impact contract earnings. Where such items have occurred and the effects are material, a separate description is provided.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, favorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were related to contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program. During the same period, the unfavorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were related to lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, favorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were related to contract incentives on the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program and higher risk retirement on USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), Bougainville (LHA 8), and Harrisburg (LPD 30). During the same period, the unfavorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were related to lower risk retirement on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73).

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, no favorable or unfavorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were individually significant.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, favorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments included risk retirement on Bougainville (LHA 8), a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), and risk retirement on USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28). During the same period, no unfavorable cumulative catch-up margin adjustments were individually significant.

Sales and Service Revenues

Ingalls revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, decreased $5 million, or 1%, from the same period in 2021, primarily driven by lower revenues in the Legend class NSC program and amphibious assault ships, partially offset by higher revenues in surface combatants. Revenues on the Legend class NSC program decreased due to lower volumes on Friedman (NSC 11) and Calhoun (NSC 10). Revenues on amphibious assault ships decreased due to lower volumes on USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), partially offset by higher volumes on LHA 9 (unnamed). Revenues on surface combatants increased due to higher volumes on Thad Cochran (DDG 135) and Telesforo Trinidad (DDG 139), partially offset by lower volumes on Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), and Ted Stevens (DDG 128).

Ingalls revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased $35 million, or 2%, from the same period in 2021, primarily driven by lower revenues in surface combatants and the Legend class NSC program, partially offset by higher revenues in amphibious assault ships. Revenues on surface combatants decreased due to lower volumes on Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), and USS Jack H.

ships increased due to higher volumes on LHA 9 (unnamed), partially offset by lower volumes on USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) and Bougainville (LHA 8).

Segment Operating Income

Ingalls segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $50 million, compared with segment operating income of $62 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by lower risk retirement on Ted Stevens (DDG 128) and Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), partially offset by higher risk retirement on USS Portland (LPD 27).

Ingalls segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $242 million, compared with segment operating income of $233 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses and higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30) and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), partially offset by receipt of a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) in 2021.

Sales and Service Revenues

Mission Technologies revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022, increased $201 million, or 51%, from the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher volumes in DFS attributable to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021.

Mission Technologies revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, increased $895 million, or 101%, from the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher volumes in DFS attributable to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021.

Segment Operating Income

Mission Technologies segment operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2022, was $14 million, compared with segment operating income of $13 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by improved performance in DFS due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, as well as higher equity income, partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition.

Mission Technologies segment operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $48 million, compared with segment operating income of $33 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by improved performance in DFS due to the acquisition of Alion in the third quarter of 2021, as well as higher equity income, partially offset by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets in 2022 due to the Alion acquisition.

BACKLOG

Total backlog as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, was approximately $46.7 billion and $48.5 billion, respectively. Total backlog includes both funded backlog (firm orders for which funding is contractually obligated by the customer) and unfunded backlog (firm orders for which funding is not currently contractually obligated by the customer). Backlog excludes unexercised contract options and unfunded Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity orders. For contracts having no stated contract values, backlog includes only the amounts committed by the customer.

The following table presents funded and unfunded backlog by segment as of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021:

Awards

The value of new contract awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was approximately $6.1 billion, including an award for the construction of Telesforo Trinidad (DDG 139).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We seek to efficiently convert operating results into cash for deployment in operating our businesses, implementing our business strategy, and maximizing stockholder value. We use various financial measures to assist in capital deployment decision making, including net cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow. We believe these measures are useful to investors in assessing our financial performance.

The following table summarizes key components of cash flow provided by operating activities:

Trade working capital increase(502)(151)(351)
Net cash provided by operating activities$165 $489 $(324)
We have historically maintained a capital structure comprising a mix of equity and debt financing. We vary our
leverage both to optimize our equity return and to pursue acquisitions. We expect to meet our current debt
obligations as they come due through internally generated funds from current levels of operations and/or through refinancing in the debt markets prior to the maturity dates of our debt.

Cash Flows

We discuss below our significant operating, investing, and financing activities affecting cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, as classified on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $165 million, compared with $489 million provided by operating activities for the same period in 2021. The unfavorable change in operating cash flow was primarily due to an unfavorable change in trade working capital, as well as higher payments for income taxes and interest, partially offset by lower contributions to retiree benefit plans. The change in trade working capital was primarily driven by the timing of receipts of accounts receivable.

We expect cash generated from operations in combination with our current cash and cash equivalents, as well as existing credit facilities, to be sufficient to service debt and retiree benefit plans, meet contractual obligations, and finance capital expenditures for at least the 12 months beginning October 1, 2022, and beyond such 12-month period based on our current business plan.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $178 million, compared with $1,842 million used in investing activities for the same period in 2021.The change in investing cash was driven by the acquisition of Alion in 2021. For 2022, we expect our capital expenditures for maintenance and sustainment to
31

Table of Contents                                        
be approximately 1.0% of annual revenues and our discretionary capital expenditures to be approximately 1.5% to 2.0% of annual revenues.

Financing Activities

Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, was $497 million, compared with $1,396 million provided by financing activities for the same period in 2021. The change in financing cash was primarily due to $1,650 million of proceeds from the incurrence of long term debt in 2021, an increase in the repayment of long-term debt of $300 million, an increase of $7 million in employee taxes on certain share-based payment arrangements, and a $4 million increase in cash dividend payments, partially offset by a decrease of $46 million in common stock repurchases and a decrease of $22 million in debt issuance costs.     

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow represents cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds. 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 by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for our investors because it provides 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.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

Free cash flow$(14)$284 $(298)

Free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, decreased $298 million from the same period in 2021, primarily due to an unfavorable change in trade working capital, as well as higher payments for income taxes and interest, partially offset by lower contributions to retiree benefit plans and lower capital expenditures.

Governmental Regulation and Supervision

The U.S. Government has the ability, pursuant to regulations relating to contractor business systems, to decrease or withhold contract payments if it determines significant deficiencies exist in one or more such systems. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the cumulative amounts of payments withheld by the U.S. Government under our contracts subject to these regulations were not material to our liquidity or cash flows.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we use 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 our self-insured workers' compensation plans. As of September 30, 2022, $14 million in letters of credit were issued but undrawn and $360 million of surety bonds were outstanding. As of September 30, 2022, we had no other significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

GLOSSARY OF PROGRAMS
Included below are brief descriptions of some of the programs discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Program Name  Program Description
America class (LHA 6) amphibious assault ships
  
Design and build large deck amphibious assault ships that provide forward presence and power projection as an integral part of joint, interagency and multinational maritime expeditionary forces. The America class (LHA 6) ships, together with the Wasp class (LHD 1) ships, are the successors to the decommissioned Tarawa class (LHA 1) ships. The America class (LHA 6) ships optimize aviation operations and support capabilities. In 2020, we delivered USS Tripoli (LHA 7), and we were awarded a long-lead-time material and construction contract for LHA 9 (unnamed). We are currently constructing Bougainville (LHA 8).
Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers
  
Build guided missile destroyers designed for conducting anti-air, anti-submarine, anti-surface, and strike operations. The Aegis-equipped Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers are the U.S. Navy's primary surface combatant, and have been constructed in variants, allowing technological advances during construction. We delivered USS Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), USS Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), and Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG121) in 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively. We have contracts to construct the following Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers: Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), Ted Stevens (DDG 128), Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), George M. Neal (DDG 131), Sam Nunn (DDG 133), Thad Cochran (DDG 135), John F. Lehman (DDG 137), and Telesforo Trinidad (DDG 139).
Carrier RCOH
  
Perform refueling and complex overhaul ("RCOH") of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, which is required at the mid-point of their 50-year life cycle. USS George Washington (CVN 73) arrived at Newport News for the start of its RCOH in August 2017, and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) arrived at Newport News for the start of its RCOH in May 2021.
Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarines
Newport News is participating in designing the Columbia class submarine as a replacement for the current aging Ohio class nuclear ballistic missile submarines, which were first introduced into service in 1981. The Ohio class SSBN includes 14 nuclear ballistic missile submarines and four nuclear cruise missile submarines. The Columbia class program plan of record is to construct 12 new ballistic missile submarines. The U.S. Navy has initiated the design process for the new class of submarines, and, in early 2017, the DoD signed the acquisition decision memorandum approving the Columbia class program’s Milestone B, which formally authorizes the program’s entry into the engineering and manufacturing development phase. We perform design work as a subcontractor to Electric Boat, and we have entered into a teaming agreement with Electric Boat to build modules for the entire Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program that leverages our Virginia class (SSN 774) experience. We have been awarded contracts from Electric Boat for integrated product and process development, providing long–lead–time material and advance construction, and construction of the first two boats of the Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine program.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to interest rates.

Interest Rates - Our floating rate financial instruments subject to interest rate risk include a $650 million Term Loan, a $1.5 billion Revolving Credit Facility, and a $1 billion commercial paper program. As of September 30, 2022, we had $325 million outstanding on the Term Loan and no indebtedness outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility or our commercial paper program. Based on the amounts outstanding under our Term Loan as of September 30, 2022, an increase of 1% in interest rates would increase the interest expense on our debt by approximately $3 million on an annual basis.
