Segment Details
Newport News Shipbuilding: Revenues totaled $1,390 million at this segment, up 8.8% year over year backed by higher revenues in submarine construction. Meanwhile, operating income surged 133.3% to $133 million owing to the receipt of the VCS Block V contract as well as contract changes for support services on Los Angeles-class submarines.
Ingalls Shipbuilding: Revenues at this segment came in at $702 million, up 0.4% year over year owing to higher revenues of the San Antonio-class LPD program and Legend-class National Security Cutter (NSC) program. However, operating income declined 29.8% to $59 million due to lower risk retirement on the LHA and LPD programs as well as recoveries related to a 2018 settlement agreement.
Technical Solutions: Revenues at this segment summed $369 million, up 38.2% year over year. The upside is primarily attributable to higher mission driven innovative solutions (MDIS) revenues as well as increased fleet support, and oil and gas revenues. Operating loss amounted to $19 million against the operating income of $7 million in the year-ago quarter.
