Current report
The fiscal year 2026 budget process is unique. As proposed, the first budget submission of Donald Trump’s second Administration requested two Congressional bills to be passed — a base annual appropriations bill and a budget reconciliation bill. For fiscal year 2026, the Administration recommends a National Defense budget of $1.01 trillion, of which $961.6 billion is specific to the Pentagon and consists of $848.3 billion for the Pentagon’s annual discretionary budget and $113.3 billion for the Pentagon in mandatory funding via Congressional reconciliation. On May 2, 2025, the Administration released the President's topline recommendations on discretionary funding levels for fiscal year 2026, followed by detailed budget justification documents in June. The Department of the Navy requested $248.9 billion in the base budget and $43.3 billion in reconciliation funds. Included in the Navy's proposed fiscal year 2026 budget is $47.4 billion for shipbuilding — $20.9 billion in the base budget request and $26.5 billion in reconciliation funding. The proposed budget relies on reconciliation funding to fund 14 of 17 battle force ships requested.
Current report
Combined, the base budget and reconciliation budget reflect continued investment in shipbuilding. The Navy’s fiscal year 2026 base discretionary budget request seeks one Columbia class (SSBN 826) ballistic missile submarine, one
Current report
Virginia class (SSN 774) fast attack submarine and one ocean surveillance ship. The budget reconciliation bill, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the "Act"), was signed into law on July 4, 2025 and includes more than $29 billion for Shipbuilding and the Maritime Industrial Base. The Act funds one Virginia class (SSN 774) fast attack submarine, two Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) guided-missile destroyers, nine Landing Ship Mediums and two John Lewis class (T-AO 205) fleet oilers. Funding is also provided for amphibious warfare ships and unmanned surface vessels.
Current report
Lawmakers proceeded with consideration of the fiscal year 2026 budget request for the Federal government, while simultaneously considering the reconciliation bill. On July 18, 2025, the House approved its Fiscal Year 2026 Defense Appropriations Bill which was developed to complement the defense investments in the reconciliation bill. For the shipbuilding account, the House appropriation bill provides $36.9 billion in base discretionary funding, including six battle force ships: one Columbia class (SSBN 826) ballistic missile submarine, two Virginia class (SSN 774) fast attack submarines, two Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) guided missile destroyers, and one T-AGOS SURTASS ship for antisubmarine warfare. Additionally, the House appropriations bill includes $1.5 billion for the Maritime Industrial Base to invest in critical areas including supplier capacity and capability, strategic outsourcing, workforce training, and technology, and infrastructure; $1.6 billion for productivity enhancements to improve shipbuilder capability, capacity, and efficiency at the private nuclear shipyards; and $521 million for wage enhancements at the private nuclear shipyards. The timing of Senate Appropriations Committee action remains uncertain.
Current report
Both the Senate Armed Services Committee ("SASC") and the House Armed Services Committee ("HASC") approved their respective versions of the fiscal year 2026 National Defense Authorization Act ("NDAA") legislation in July.
Current report
The SASC authorization bill supports a total of $925 billion in fiscal year 2026 funding for national defense, including $878.7 billion for the Defense Department, $35.2 billion for defense programs within the Department of Energy, and $11.1 billion for defense spending outside the jurisdiction of the NDAA. Language is included in the bill that authorizes the procurement of up to five Columbia class (SSBN 826) ballistic missile submarines and supports amphibious warship production by reinforcing the statutory requirement for 31 amphibious ships. Additional funding is authorized for Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines and Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers.
Current report
In addition to the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine and two Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyers provided for by reconciliation, the HASC bill authorizes the procurement of the third Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarine and additional funding for Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines. Additionally, the HASC bill supports the authorization of advance procurement for future Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarines, additional funding for Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines, as well as completion of prior year ships including aircraft carriers and Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines.
Current report
We cannot predict the outcome of the fiscal year 2026 budget process or if short-term funding will be made available if annual appropriations measures are not finalized by the start of the new fiscal year on October 1, 2025.
Current report
Sales and service revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025, increased $105 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to higher volumes at Newport News, Mission Technologies, and Ingalls.

Defense Spending Environment – The fiscal year 2025 budget cycle ultimately concluded with the passage of the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, signed into law March 15, 2025. This marks the first time the DoD will operate under a Continuing Resolution ("CR") for the full fiscal year. While unprecedented, exceptions were made to the Navy Shipbuilding and Conversion account in the full-year CR to provide the authorities and necessary funding levels for program execution. Final defense appropriations provided by the CR broadly supported shipbuilding programs, including funding for three Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) guided missile destroyers, one Virginia class (SSN 774) fast attack submarine, one San Antonio class (LPD 17) Amphibious Transport Dock, the RCOH for USSHarry S. Truman (CVN 75), and funding to support Columbia class (SSBN 826) submarines, CVN, and LHA programs. The CR also included funding for the Submarine Industrial Base for investment in critical areas including supplier capacity and capability, strategic outsourcing, workforce training and technology and infrastructure, and multi-year procurement authority was provided for the Virginia class (SSN 774) program. An earlier short-term CR funding the government from December 20, 2024 through March 14, 2025 included additional supplemental funding for expenses necessary for procurement of two fiscal year 2024 Virginia class (SSN 774) submarines, one fiscal year 2025 Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine, and to incrementally fund contract obligations for the improvement of workforce wages and non-executive level salaries on new or existing contracts pertaining to the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program or to other nuclear-powered vessel programs.

Global Geopolitical and Economic Environment - The global geopolitical and economic environment continues to be impacted by uncertainty, heightened geopolitical tensions, and instability. Geopolitical relationships continue to change, and the U.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 a challenging labor market.

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 the Federal Acquisition Regulation (the "FAR") rules that govern our business with the U.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 financial 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.

Free cash flow represents cash provided by (used in) 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 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.
