Huntington Ingalls (HII) Beats on Q2 Earnings, Down Y/Y
Read MoreHide Full Article
Huntington Ingalls Industries’ (HII - Free Report) second-quarter 2016 adjusted earnings of $2.32 per share surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.31.
Reported earnings however declined sharply from $2.83 per share in the year-ago quarter. The downside was primarily due to lower contribution from its Newport News Shipbuilding division.
Total revenue in the second quarter was $1,700 million, lagging the Zacks Consensus Estimate as well as the year-ago figure of $1,745 million.
Segment Details
Newport News Shipbuilding: Segment revenues were $1,090 million, down 6.5% year over year due to lower sales in Aircraft Carriers, Submarines and Energy. Segment operating income declined 6.4% owing to lower risk retirement on the VCS program, lower volume on the execution contract for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH and CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, partially offset by higher volume on CVN-79 John F. Kennedy.
Ingalls Shipbuilding: Segment revenues were $585 million, up 7.1% year over year. The upside was primarily driven by higher revenues from Surface Combatants and Amphibious Assault Ships, partially offset by lower revenues from the Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program. Operating income at the segment decreased 55.6%.
Other: Segment revenues were $27 million, down 22.9% year over year. The segment incurred an operating loss of $6 million, narrower than the year-ago loss of $64 million.
