HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES, INC. – 10-Q – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
OVERVIEW
Our Business
Huntington Ingalls Industries, Inc. ("HII", "we", "us", or "our") is an all-domain defense and technologies partner, recognized worldwide as America's largest shipbuilder. For more than a century, our Ingalls segment inMississippi andNewport News segment inVirginia have built more ships in more ship classes than any otherU.S. naval shipbuilder. Our Mission Technologies (formerly named Technical Solutions) segment provides a range of services and products to government and commercial customers. Headquartered inNewport News, Virginia , HII employs approximately 44,000 people domestically and internationally. We conduct most of our business with theU.S. Government , primarily theDepartment of Defense ("DoD"). As prime contractor, principal subcontractor, team member, or partner, we participate in many high-priorityU.S. defense programs. Ingalls includes our non-nuclear ship design, construction, repair, and maintenance businesses.Newport News includes all of our nuclear ship design, construction, overhaul, refueling, and repair and maintenance businesses. Our Mission Technologies segment provides a wide range of services and products, including C5ISR systems and operations; the application of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning to battlefield decisions; defense and offensive cyberspace strategies and electronic warfare; unmanned autonomous systems; live, virtual, and constructive solutions; platform modernization; and critical nuclear operations. 17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 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 endedDecember 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 thatU.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 inMarch 2022 and is ongoing. TheHouse Appropriations Committee voted out a defense appropriations measure that broadly supports our shipbuilding and unmanned programs and awaits floor consideration. TheSenate Appropriations Committee has yet to conduct markups, and the timing of committee action remains uncertain.The House and Senate Armed Services Committees have each acted on their respective National Defense Authorization bills for fiscal year 2023, both of which broadly support our shipbuilding programs, including increased funding authority forArleigh Burke class destroyers (DDG-51) and LHA and LPD Flight II amphibious ships. The full House has approved its authorization bill and awaitsSenate floor consideration of its version before the two bills can be reconciled to produce a final measure. We cannot predict the outcome of the fiscal year 2023 budget process or whether short-term funding will be required in the event annual appropriations measures are not finalized by the start of theOctober 1 fiscal year. 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 theU.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 theU.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 ourU.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 theU.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, and the COVID-19 pandemic. InFebruary 2022 , Russian forces invadedUkraine . 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, increased energy costs, and an exacerbation of existing inflationary pressures. Additionally, and more broadly, economic tensions withChina 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. 18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to price surges in energy, food, and aluminum as a result of the Russian invasion ofUkraine , rising inflation has led to higher costs of various commodities and supplier products. Inflation has also increased 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. 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 theU.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 underU.S. Government contracts, our contract 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 inVermont 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. TheVermont court dismissed our complaint in response to a motion of the reinsurers for judgment on the pleadings, and we have appealed the decision. Although we continue to believe that our position is well-founded, no assurance can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter. See Note 10: Investigations, Claims, and Litigation.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments
As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year endedDecember 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
critical accounting policies, estimates, and judgments since
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 theU.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 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.
Sales and Service Revenues
Sales and service revenues were comprised as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended

product sales decreased $13 million and $39 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily as a result of lower volumes in
surface combatants, partially offset by higher volumes in amphibious assault
ships. Newport News product sales increased $79 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022 , primarily as a result of higher volumes in aircraft
carriers, partially offset by lower volumes in submarines. Newport News product
sales increased $99 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 , primarily as
a result of higher volumes in aircraft carriers. Mission Technologies product
sales were flat for the three months ended June 30, 2022 . Mission Technologies
product sales increased $9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 ,
primarily as a result of higher volumes in defense and federal solutions
("DFS").
Service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $365
million , or 78%, compared with the same period in 2021. Service revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $660 million , or 64%, compared with
the same period in 2021. Ingalls service revenues increased $4 million and $12
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 , respectively,
primarily as a result of higher volumes in amphibious assault ship services,
partially offset by lower volumes in surface combatant services. Newport News
service revenues decreased $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 ,
primarily as a result of lower volumes in naval nuclear support services and
aircraft carrier services, partially offset by higher volumes in submarine
services. Newport News service revenues decreased $43 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2022 , primarily as a result of lower volumes in aircraft carrier
services and naval nuclear support services. Mission Technologies service
revenues increased $367 million and $691 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily as a result of higher volumes in
DFS services.

Cost of product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $31
million , or 2%, compared with the same period in 2021. Cost of product sales for
the six months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $45 million , or 2%, compared with
the same period in 2021. Ingalls cost of product sales decreased $28 million and
$38 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 , respectively,
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 $56 million and $76 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily as a result of volume increases described
above. Mission Technologies cost of product sales increased $5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2022 , driven by year-to-year variances in contract
mix. Mission Technologies cost of product sales increased $11 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2022 , driven by volume increases described above. Cost
of product sales related to the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment decreased $2
million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 ,
respectively, as described below.
Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased from 84.8% for
the three months ended June 30, 2021 , to 83.4% for the three months ended June
30, 2022 . The decrease was primarily due to favorable changes in contract
estimates from facilities capital and price adjustment clauses and higher risk
retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30), 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 product sales as a percentage of
product sales decreased from 84.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 , to
84.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 . The decrease was primarily due to
favorable changes in contract estimates from facilities capital and price
adjustment clauses and higher risk retirement on Harrisburg (LPD 30), USS Gerald
R. Ford (CVN 78), Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28) following its delivery, and Frank E.
Petersen Jr . (DDG 121), 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, receipt of a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas
(DDG 125) in 2021, and lower risk retirement on Bougainville (LHA 8).
Cost of Service Revenues
Cost of service revenues for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , increased$332 million , or 80%, compared with the same period in 2021. Cost of service revenues for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increased$609 million , or 68%, compared with the same period in 2021.

Mission Technologies cost of service revenues increased$342 million and$648 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, primarily as a result of higher volumes described above. Cost of service revenues 22 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents related to the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment was flat for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and decreased$1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , as described below. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues increased from 88.5% for the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , to 89.6% for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily driven by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets 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. and a favorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment. Cost of service revenues as a percentage of service revenues increased from 87.4% for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , to 89.3% for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , primarily driven by higher amortization of purchased intangible assets 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 (Loss) 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increased$15 million and$14 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, partially offset by lower equity income from our nuclear and environmental joint ventures.
Other Income and Gains (Losses), Net
Other income and gains (losses), net was a net gain of$1 million and a net loss of$2 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The favorable change of$3 million was primarily due to a loss recognized in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of the final purchase price adjustment to a gain on the sale of our oil and gas business. Other income and gains (losses), net were flat for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , compared to the same period 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increased$23 million and$34 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
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 June 30, 2022 , was $225
million , compared with segment operating income of $169 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), as well as improved performance in DFS
services and higher equity income, 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, as well as higher amortization
of purchased intangible assets.
Segment operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 , was $401
million , compared with segment operating income of $360 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), USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78), Fort Lauderdale
(LPD 28) following its delivery, and Frank E. Petersen Jr . (DDG 121), as well as
improved performance in DFS services and higher equity income, partially offset
by lower risk retirement on the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program,
receipt of a contract incentive on USS Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125) in 2021, and
lower risk retirement on Bougainville (LHA 8), as well as higher amortization of
purchased intangible assets.
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:

The favorable changes in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment of$2 million and$5 million for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2022 , respectively, were primarily driven by the more immediate recognition of higher interest rates under FAS. 24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 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 endedJune 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was less than$1 million , compared to non-current state income tax expense of$8 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , increased$8 million and$13 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , the favorable change in the non-operating retirement benefit of$23 million and$48 million was primarily driven by higher 2021 returns on plan assets.
Other, Net
Other, net expense increased
months ended
2021, primarily driven by losses on investments in marketable securities.
Federal and Foreign Income Taxes
Our effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, were 19.8% and 19.9%, respectively. Our effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 and 2021, were 20.1% and 17.1%, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , was generally flat compared to the prior year. The higher effective tax rate for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was primarily attributable to a tax loss associated with the sale of our oil and gas business recorded in 2021. For the three months endedJune 30, 2022 , our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate primarily as a result of research and development tax credits. For the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , our effective tax rate did not differ materially from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21%. For the three months endedJune 30, 2021 , our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of research and development tax credits. For the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of a tax loss associated with the sale of our oil and gas business.

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 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 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.

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:
Six Months Ended
June 30 2022 vs. 2021
($ in millions) 2022 2021 Dollars
Net earnings $ 318 $ 277 $ 41

Retiree benefits (65) (70) 5
Trade working capital increase (281) (230) (51)
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 184 $ 139 $ 45
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 six months ended
classified on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was$184 million , compared with$139 million provided by operating activities for the same period in 2021. The favorable change in operating cash flow was primarily due to higher earnings, lower contributions to retiree benefit plans, and lower income tax payments, partially offset by changes in trade working capital and higher interest payments. The change in trade working capital was primarily driven by the timing of receipts of accounts receivable and payments of accounts payable. 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 beginningJuly 1, 2022 , and beyond such 12-month period based on our current business plan.
Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities for the six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was$101 million , compared with$134 million used in investing activities for the same period in 2021. The change in investing cash was driven by lower capital expenditures in 2022 and contribution of ourSan Diego Shipyard to a joint venture in 2021, partially offset by 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents the disposition of our oil and gas business in 2021. For 2022, we expect our capital expenditures for maintenance and sustainment to 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 six months endedJune 30, 2022 , was$335 million , compared with$169 million used in financing activities for the same period in 2021. The change in financing cash was primarily due to an increase in the repayment of long-term debt of$200 million , an increase of$7 million in employee taxes on certain share-based payment arrangements, and a$2 million increase in cash dividend payments, partially offset by a decrease of$43 million in common stock repurchases.
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:
Six Months Ended
June 30 2022 vs. 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities $ 184 $ 139 $ 45
Less capital expenditures:
Capital expenditure additions (102) (134) 32
Grant proceeds for capital expenditures - 2 (2)
Free cash flow $ 82 $ 7 $ 75
Free cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2022 , increased $75 million
from the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher earnings, lower capital
expenditures, lower contributions to retiree benefit plans, and lower income tax
payments, partially offset by changes in trade working capital and higher
interest payments.
Governmental Regulation and Supervision
TheU.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 ofJune 30, 2022 and 2021, the cumulative amounts of payments withheld by theU.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 ofJune 30, 2022 ,$15 million in letters of credit were issued but undrawn and$276 million of surety bonds were outstanding. As ofJune 30, 2022 , we had no other significant off-balance sheet arrangements. 31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents ACCOUNTING STANDARDS UPDATES
