About Huntington Ingalls Industries,
About Huntington Ingalls Industries,
HII is America's largest shipbuilder and the only company capable of building, refueling, and inactivating U.S. Navy nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, with approximately 81% of 2025 revenues generated from the U.S. Navy alone. The company employs over 44,000 people at its Ingalls shipbuilding facility in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and the Newport News shipyard in Virginia. Active contracts include the Gerald R. Ford-class Enterprise (CVN 80) at 50% construction completion in 2025 and multi-year awards totaling $15.4 billion for Enterprise and Doris Miller (CVN 81).
HII generates revenue through long-term cost-type and fixed-price incentive contracts with the U.S. Government. In 2025, approximately 50% of revenues came from cost-type contracts and 46% from fixed-price incentive contracts, with the remainder from time-and-material and firm-fixed-price work. The Ingalls segment builds non-nuclear ships—amphibious assault ships (LHAs, LPDs) and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers (DDG 51)—for which HII is one of only two qualified shipbuilders alongside General Dynamics. Newport News is the exclusive nuclear carrier builder and a co-builder of Virginia-class (SSN 774) fast attack submarines under a teaming agreement with Electric Boat, a General Dynamics division. Mission Technologies provides C5ISR, cyber, AI, and unmanned systems capabilities. The principal cost risks on fixed-price programs are inflation, tariffs, labor shortages, and supplier issues; U.S. Government contracts sometimes permit cost recovery through equitable adjustment requests, though the government may dispute or lack funding to cover them.
Show full overview
HII's dependence on U.S. Navy appropriations—81% of revenues in 2025—ties performance directly to annual Congressional budget cycles and continuing resolutions. The 10-K discloses that a partial federal government shutdown occurred in October 2025, and continuing resolutions restrict production increases and new program starts. Fixed-price incentive contracts (46% of revenues) amplify this exposure: inflation, tariffs, and labor shortages have caused contract cost growth in the past and may continue to do so, and if the company cannot recover those increases, operating income declines. In some cases, only one supplier exists for certain components, and a sole source supplier's failure to deliver on time could further escalate costs on time-sensitive naval programs.
