Lynchburg, VA - Feb. 24, 2020 - BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) ("BWXT", "we", "us" or the "Company") reported fourth quarter 2019 revenue of $501 million, a 5% increase compared with $478 million in the fourth quarter of 2018. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2019 was $61.4 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $21.9 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2019 was $67.9 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $73.0 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

2019 revenue set a new record at nearly $1.9 billion, a 5% increase compared to $1.8 billion in 2018. GAAP net income for 2019 was $244 million, or $2.55 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $227 million, or $2.27 per diluted share, in 2018. Non-GAAP net income for 2019 was $251 million, or $2.62 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $239 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, in 2018. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results is detailed in Exhibit 1.

"We had an exceptionally strong finish to 2019 that resulted in new highs in revenue, earnings and backlog for the year," said Rex D. Geveden, president and chief executive officer. "We continued to make solid progress on our strategic initiatives across the company, while delivering high-quality products and services to our customers. We believe our progress in 2019 coupled with our record backlog of $5.3 billion sets us up on a continued growth trajectory for our businesses in the future resulting in long-term value for our shareholders.”

"Our focus in 2020 will be the continued capitalization of our Navy franchise while simultaneously ramping to a full-year production cadence on the first Columbia-Class nuclear propulsion system. We will be increasing capital investments in medical isotopes as we drive advancements towards major milestones to commercialize our moly-99 production line, and will seek new bidding opportunities in nuclear services and emerging government programs in microreactor development.”


Segment Results

Nuclear Operations Group (NOG) segment revenue was $371 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a 6% increase from the prior-year period, driven primarily by higher long-lead material purchases, partially offset by lower downblending. Full-year segment revenue set a new record at over $1.4 billion, an 8% increase compared with 2018, as a result of higher nuclear components volume and long-lead material purchases, partially offset by lower downblending.

NOG operating income was $71.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, $19.3 million lower when compared with the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher volume and long-lead material purchases, more than offset by higher prior-year positive EAC adjustments to backlog contracts. Full-year segment operating income was $298 million, a 10% increase compared with the prior year, driven by the absence of missile tube charges and higher long-lead material purchases, partially offset by lower downblending. Fourth quarter and full-year 2019 segment operating margins were 19.4% and 20.9%, respectively.

Nuclear Power Group (NPG) segment revenue was $97.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019, a 1% decrease from the prior-year period, due to higher volume from component manufacturing more than offset by lower field service and fuel handling activity. Full-year segment revenue was $353 million, a 4% decrease compared with the prior year, primarily from higher component manufacturing and the medical isotope acquisition more than offset by lower field service, fuel and fuel handling and lower revenue from the China steam generator project.

NPG GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $17.4 million and $19.7 million respectively in the fourth quarter of 2019, a 27% and a 44% respective increase from the prior-year period, driven primarily from a reduction in an Asset Retirement Obligation and higher volume from component manufacturing partially offset by lower field services and the absence of the China steam generator project. Full-year segment GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $53.8 million and $56.4 million respectively, a 3% and an 8% respective increase compared with the prior year, driven by a reduction in an Asset Retirement Obligation, higher volume from component manufacturing and the medical isotope acquisition, partially offset by lower field service activity. Fourth quarter and full-year 2019 GAAP segment operating margins were 17.9% and 15.3%, respectively. Fourth quarter and full-year 2019 non-GAAP segment operating margins were 20.2% and 16.0%, respectively.

Nuclear Services Group (NSG) segment GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $5.6 million and $8.2 million respectively for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared with $9.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2018, primarily as a result of lower costs more than offset by lower contract income. Full-year GAAP and non-GAAP segment operating income results for 2019 were $14.2 million and $17.1 million respectively, down $6.1 million and $3.2 million respectively when compared with the prior year, primarily driven by higher performance on contracts more than offset by contract completions and higher bid and proposal activity.

Liquidity and Debt

The Company generated $188 million of net cash from operating activities in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared with $178 million in the prior-year period. At the end of the fourth quarter 2019, the Company’s cash and short-term investments position, net of restricted cash, was $92.4 million.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had gross debt of $832 million and $67.6 million in letters of credit issued under the Company's revolving credit facility. Gross debt included $400 million in senior notes, $272 million in term loans and $160 million in borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The Company had $272 million in remaining availability under its revolving credit facility.


Capital Deployment

The Company returned $16.2 million in dividends to shareholders during the fourth quarter 2019, bringing the total to $85.4 million of cash returned year-to-date including $20.0 million in share repurchases and $65.4 million in dividends. As of December 31, 2019, total remaining share repurchase authorization was $165 million.

Long-term Guidance

BWXT reiterated long-term guidance that excluding the benefit of tax reform, the Company anticipates a non-GAAP EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the low-double digits over a three to five year period from 2017 based on a robust organic growth strategy and balance sheet capacity.

The Company does not provide GAAP guidance because it is unable to reliably forecast most of the items that are excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP results. These items could cause GAAP results to differ materially from non-GAAP results. See reconciliation of non-GAAP results in Exhibit 1 for additional information.

Forward-Looking Statements

BWXT cautions that this release contains forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements relating to backlog, to the extent they may be viewed as an indicator of future revenues; our plans and expectations for the NOG, NPG and NSG segments including the expectations, timing and revenue of our strategic initiatives, such as medical radioisotopes; and our 2020 guidance and long-term guidance.
