The S.M. Stoller Corporation

Nov 6, 2014

26 bps Newport News revenues for the third quarter increased $24 million, or 2.2 percent, from the same period in 2013, primarily driven by the acquisition of The S.M. Stoller Corp., which was completed in January 2014, and higher revenues in submarines and energy, offset by lower revenues in aircraft carriers. Higher submarines revenues related to the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine (VCS) program were due to increased volumes on Block IV advance procurement and Block III construction contracts. Higher energy revenues were primarily driven by increased commercial volumes. Lower aircraft carriers revenues were driven by decreased volumes on CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford, the CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) and the CVN-79 John F. Kennedy construction preparation contract, partially offset by increased volumes on the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH. Newport News operating income for the quarter was $101 million, a $5 million increase over the same period last year. Operating margin was 9.2 percent for the quarter, compared to 8.9 percent in Q3 2013. These increases were driven primarily by higher risk retirement on the VCS program, partially offset by lower risk retirement on CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford.
