Newport News Shipbuilding revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $1.7 billion, an increase of $269 million, or 19.3%, from the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher volumes in aircraft carriers, submarines and naval nuclear support services.
Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income for the first quarter of 2026 was $88 million, an increase of $3 million from the same period in 2025. Segment operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 5.3% compared to 6.1% in the same period last year. The increase in segment operating income was primarily driven by the higher volumes described above, partially offset by contract adjustments and incentives in the first quarter of 2025 on the Virginia-class submarine program, as well as lower performance in aircraft carrier construction.

Mission Technologies revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $748 million, an increase of $13 million, or 1.8%, from the same period in 2025. The increases were primarily due to higher volumes in All-Domain Operations, Unmanned Systems, and Global Security, partially offset by lower volumes in Warfare Systems.

Segment operating margin in the first quarter of 2026 was 4.7%, compared to 5.4% in the same period last year. The decrease in segment operating income was primarily due to lower equity income from nuclear and environmental joint ventures, partially offset by higher performance in Warfare Systems.
Mission Technologies results included approximately $18 million of amortization of purchased intangible assets in the first quarter of 2026, compared to approximately $22 million in the same period last year.
Mission Technologies EBITDA margin1 in the first quarter of 2026 was 7.8%, compared to 9.1% in the first quarter of 2025.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements. There are a number of important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated by our forward-looking statements, which include, but are not limited to:
•our dependence on the U.S. Government for substantially all of our business;
•significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and/or changes in customer priorities and requirements (including government budgetary constraints, government shutdowns, shifts in defense spending, and changes in customer short-range and long-range plans);
•our ability to estimate our future contract costs, including cost increases due to inflation, labor challenges, changes in trade policy, or other factors and our efforts to recover or offset such costs and/or changes in estimated contract costs, and perform our contracts effectively;
•changes in business practices, procurement processes and government regulations, including changes through executive orders, contract terms, or other policies or practices applicable to our industry, and our ability to comply with such requirements;
•adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally;
•our level of indebtedness and ability to service our indebtedness;
•our ability to deliver our products and services at an affordable life cycle cost and compete within our markets;
•our ability to attract, retain, and train a qualified workforce;
•subcontractor and supplier performance and the availability and pricing of raw materials and components;
•our ability to execute our strategic plan, including with respect to share repurchases, dividends, capital expenditures, and strategic acquisitions;
•investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions, litigation (including criminal, civil, and administrative), and/or other legal proceedings, and improper conduct of employees, agents, subcontractors, suppliers, business partners, or joint ventures in which we participate, including the impact on our reputation or ability to do business;
•changes in key estimates and assumptions regarding our pension and retiree health care costs;
•security threats, including cyber security threats, and related disruptions;
•natural and environmental disasters and political instability;
•health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks; and
•other risk factors discussed herein and in our other filings with the SEC.
There may be other risks and uncertainties that we are unable to predict at this time or that we currently do not expect to have a material adverse effect on our business, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we may make.
This release also contains non-GAAP financial measures and includes a GAAP reconciliation of these financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as being more important than comparable GAAP measures.

Exhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & Reconciliations
This earnings release contains non-GAAP (accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America) financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G and indicated by a footnote in the text of this release. Definitions for the non-GAAP measures, and related reconciliations, are provided below. Because not all companies use identical definitions or calculations, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Segment Operating Income and Segment Operating Margin. We internally manage our operations by reference to segment operating income and segment operating margin and use these measures to evaluate our core operating performance. We believe that segment operating income and segment operating margin reflect additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Segment operating income is defined as operating income for the relevant segment(s) before the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes.
Segment operating margin is defined as segment operating income as a percentage of sales and service revenues.
Shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin. We use shipbuilding operating margin, Mission Technologies EBITDA and Mission Technologies EBITDA margin to evaluate our core operating performance. We believe these measures reflect additional ways of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP.
Shipbuilding operating margin is defined as the combined segment operating income of our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment as a percentage of shipbuilding revenue. Shipbuilding revenue is the sum of revenues of our Newport News Shipbuilding segment and Ingalls Shipbuilding segment.
Mission Technologies EBITDA is defined as Mission Technologies segment operating income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
Mission Technologies EBITDA margin is defined as Mission Technologies EBITDA as a percentage of Mission Technologies revenues.
Free cash flow. We 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. We believe free cash flow is an important measure that may be useful to investors and other users of our financial statements because it provides insight into our current and period-to-period performance and our ability to generate cash from continuing operations. Free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds.
In reliance upon Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, reconciliations of forward-looking GAAP and non-GAAP measures are not provided because of the unreasonable effort associated with providing such reconciliations due to the variability in the occurrence and the amounts of certain components of GAAP and non-GAAP measures. For the same reasons, we are unable to address the significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.
