Higher LPD program revenues were primarily due to increased volume on Harrisburg (LPD 30), partially offset by lower volume on Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28). Higher NSC program revenues were primarily due to increased volumes on Calhoun (NSC 10) and NSC 11 (unnamed), partially offset by lower volumes on the delivered USCGC Midgett (NSC 8) and Stone (NSC 9). Lower LHA program revenues were primarily due to decreased volume on Tripoli (LHA 7).Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income for the fourth quarter was $59 million, a decrease of $25 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin in the quarter was 8.4%, compared to 12.0% in the same period last year. These decreases were primarily due to lower risk retirement on the LHA and LPD programs, as well as recoveries related to a 2018 settlement agreement, partially offset by higher risk retirement on the Arleigh Burke-class DDG program.For the full year, Ingalls Shipbuilding revenues were $2.6 billion, a decrease of $52 million, or 2.0%, from 2018, primarily driven by lower revenues in the NSC program, surface combatants, and amphibious assault ships. Revenues on the NSC program decreased due to lower volumes on USCGC Kimball (NSC 7), USCGC Midgett (NSC 8), and Stone (NSC 9), partially offset by higher volumes on NSC 11 (unnamed) and Calhoun (NSC 10). Surface combatant revenues decreased as a result of lower volumes on Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), Paul Ignatius (DDG 117), Frank E. Petersen Jr. (DDG 121), and Lenah H. Sutcliffe Higbee (DDG 123), partially offset by higher volumes on Ted Stevens (DDG 128), USS Fitzgerald (DDG 62) repair and restoration, Jeremiah Denton (DDG 129), Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125), and George M. Neal (DDG 131). Amphibious assault ship revenues decreased as a result of lower volumes on Tripoli (LHA 7), Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28), and the delivered USS Portland (LPD 27), partially offset by higher volumes on Bougainville (LHA 8), Harrisburg (LPD 30), Richard M. McCool Jr. (LPD 29), and LPD Life Cycle Engineering and Services.For the full year, Ingalls Shipbuilding segment operating income was $235 million, compared to $313 million in 2018. Segment operating margin was 9.2% for 2019, compared to 12.0% in 2018. The decreases were primarily due to lower risk retirement on the LPD and LHA programs and recoveries related to a 2018 settlement agreement.Key Ingalls Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:Completed acceptance trials for amphibious assault ship Tripoli (LHA 7)Authenticated keel of guided missile destroyer Jack H. Lucas (DDG 125)Began fabrication of National Security Cutter Calhoun (NSC 10)Awarded a contract with a potential value of $453 million for planning yard services in support of in-service Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Spruance-class destroyersNewport News ShipbuildingNewport News Shipbuilding revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $1.4 billion, an increase of $112 million, or 8.8%, from the same period in 2018, due to higher revenues in submarine construction. Higher submarine revenues were primarily due to higher volumes on Virginia-class submarine (VCS) program Block IV and Block V boats, as well as higher volume on Columbia-class, partially offset by lower revenues related to Block III boats of the VCS program.Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income for the fourth quarter was $133 million, an increase of $76 million from the same period last year. Segment operating margin was 9.6% for the quarter, compared to 4.5% in the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to award of the VCS Block V contract, as well as contract changes for support services on Los Angeles-class submarines.For the full year, Newport News Shipbuilding revenues were $5.2 billion, an increase of $464 million, or 9.8%, from 2018, due to higher revenues in aircraft carriers, submarines, and naval nuclear support services. Aircraft carrier revenues increased primarily as a result of higher volumes on Enterprise (CVN 80), the advance planning contract for the RCOH of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74), and CVN 81 (Doris Miller), partially offset by lower volumes on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73) and John F. Kennedy (CVN 79). Submarine revenues related to the VCS program increased as a result of higher volumes on Block V and Block IV boats, offset by lower volumes on Block III boats. Naval nuclear support services revenues increased primarily as a result of contract changes on submarine support services and higher volume in facility maintenance services.For the full year, Newport News Shipbuilding segment operating income was $390 million, an increase of $72 million from 2018. Segment operating margin for 2019 was 7.5%, compared to 6.7% in 2018. These increases were primarily due to contract changes on submarine support services, the higher volumes noted in the preceding paragraph, and higher risk retirement on the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73), partially offset by favorable changes in workers’ compensation expense in 2018.Key Newport News Shipbuilding milestones for the quarter:Christened and launched the aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy (CVN 79)Delivered Virginia-class submarine Delaware (SSN 791)Achieved pressure hull complete on Virginia-class submarine Montana (SSN 794)Achieved approximately 68% completion of the RCOH of USS George Washington (CVN 73)Awarded a $7.7 billion contract for construction of Virginia-class Block V submarinesAwarded a contract with a potential value of $454 million for planning yard design services for nuclear-powered submarinesTechnical SolutionsTechnical Solutions revenues for the fourth quarter of 2019 were $369 million, an increase of $102 million, or 38.2%, from the same period in 2018, primarily due to higher mission driven innovative solutions (MDIS) revenues attributable to the additions of Fulcrum IT Services (Fulcrum) and G2, Inc. (G2), as well as higher fleet support and oil and gas revenues.Technical Solutions segment operating loss for the fourth quarter was $19 million, compared to segment operating income of $7 million in fourth quarter 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a goodwill impairment at our oil and gas reporting unit.For the full year, Technical Solutions revenues were $1.3 billion, an increase of $321 million, or 32.5%, from 2018, primarily due to higher MDIS revenues attributable to the additions of Fulcrum and G2, as well as higher fleet support and oil and gas revenues.For the full year, Technical Solutions segment operating income was $6 million, compared to $32 million in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to a goodwill impairment at our oil and gas reporting unit and a loss on a fleet support services contract, partially offset by higher equity income from our nuclear and environmental joint ventures and one time employee bonus payments in 2018 related to the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.Key Technical Solutions milestones for the quarter:Awarded a contract to provide broad analytical and technical services to the U.S. Air Force in areas such as network architecture and cybersecurityAbout Huntington Ingalls Industries

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL POSITION (continued)HUNTINGTON INGALLS INDUSTRIES, INC.
CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWSExhibit B: Non-GAAP Measures Definitions & ReconciliationsWe make reference to “segment operating income,” “segment operating margin,” “adjusted operating income,” “adjusted operating margin,” “adjusted segment operating income,” “adjusted segment operating margin,” “adjusted net earnings,” “adjusted diluted earnings per share” and “free cash flow.”We internally manage our operations by reference to segment operating income and segment operating margin, which are not recognized measures under GAAP. When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use segment operating income and segment operating margin in addition to, and not as alternatives for, operating income and operating margin or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. They are measures that we use to evaluate our core operating performance. We believe that segment operating income and segment operating margin reflect an additional way 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. We believe these measures are used by investors and are a useful indicator to measure our performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of segment operating income and segment operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted segment operating income, adjusted segment operating margin, adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not measures recognized under GAAP. They should be considered supplemental to and not a substitute for financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they exclude items that do not reflect our core operating performance. They may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.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, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We believe free cash flow is an important measure for our investors because it provides them 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.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.Adjusted operating income is defined as operating income adjusted for the impact of the goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2019.Adjusted operating margin is defined as adjusted operating income as a percentage of sales and service revenues.Adjusted segment operating income is defined as segment operating income adjusted for the impact of the goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of 2019.Adjusted segment operating margin is defined as adjusted segment operating income as a percentage of sales and service revenues.Adjusted net earnings is defined as net earnings adjusted for the impacts of the goodwill and long-lived asset impairments in the fourth quarter of 2019.Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as adjusted net earnings divided by the weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding.Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds.FAS/CAS Adjustment is defined as the difference between expenses for pension and other postretirement benefits determined in accordance with GAAP (FAS) and the expenses determined in accordance with U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment is defined as the difference between the service cost component of our pension and other postretirement expense determined in accordance with GAAP (FAS) and our pension and other postretirement expense under U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS).Non-current state income taxes are defined as 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 uncertain tax positions 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.We present financial measures adjusted for the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes to reflect the company’s performance based upon the pension costs and state tax expense charged to our contracts under CAS. We use these adjusted measures as internal measures of operating performance and for performance-based compensation decisions.Reconciliations of Segment Operating Income, Segment Operating Margin, Adjusted Segment Operating Income and Adjusted Segment Operating Margin
