BWX Technologies Reports Solid Third Quarter 2020 Results;
Increases 2020 Full-Year Earnings Guidance Once Again
•Generates 3Q20 GAAP EPS of $0.76; non-GAAP EPS of $0.79
•Reports 3Q20 consolidated revenue of $520 million, up 3% vs. 3Q19
•Increases 2020 full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance to ~$3.00
•Increases 2020 segment guidance given the performance observed in the Nuclear Operations Group and the Nuclear Power Group
Lynchburg, VA - Nov 2, 2020 - BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) ("BWXT", "we", "us" or the "Company") reported third quarter 2020 revenue of $520 million, a 3% increase compared with $506 million in the third quarter of 2019. GAAP net income for the third quarter 2020 was $73.2 million, or $0.76 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $74.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP net income for the third quarter 2020 was $75.6 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $75.3 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results is detailed in Exhibit 1.
“BWXT delivered solid results in the third quarter, exhibiting consistent underlying business performance across all segments and indicating the stability of our end markets even under challenging economic conditions,” said Rex D. Geveden, president and chief executive officer. “Another strong quarter of financial results leads us to increase our 2020 EPS guidance for the second time this year, with the opportunity to achieve our long-term EPS guidance in the first year of the outlined 3-year performance period.”
“The Nuclear Operations Group continues to be the bedrock of the Company’s 2020 performance, with continued customer support for mission-critical nuclear components. The Nuclear Power Group is trending positive in both its commercial nuclear power and nuclear medicine businesses and was also able to secure funds under the Canadian COVID-19 Economic Response Plan designed to offset the negative financial pressure created by the pandemic. All of this leads us to increase the full year revenue and earnings guidance,” said Geveden.
Segment Results
Nuclear Operations Group (NOG) segment revenue was $387 million for the third quarter of 2020, a 2% decrease from the prior-year period, driven by higher downblending and naval nuclear fuel volume, more than offset by lower long lead material production. NOG operating income was $68.5 million in the third quarter of 2020, a 27% decrease compared with the prior-year period, driven by higher downblending and naval nuclear fuel volume, more than offset by lower long lead material production, and fewer positive contract adjustments to backlog contracts compared with the prior-year period. Third quarter 2020 segment operating margin was 17.7%. Given the quarterly fluctuations experienced from the timing of certain items, year-to-date results can be more reflective of the underlying strength of the segments. Year-to-date revenue was up 15.4% along with strong operating income growth, resulting in year-to-date operating margins of 20.1%.



Nuclear Power Group (NPG) segment revenue was $108 million for the third quarter of 2020, a 28% increase from the prior-year period primarily due to higher field service activity, higher fuel production and fuel handling services, and the Laker Energy acquisition, partially offset by lower component volume. NPG GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $29.2 million and $29.7 million, respectively, in the third quarter of 2020, a significant respective increase from GAAP and non-GAAP operating income in the prior-year period driven primarily by higher revenue and funds received under the Canadian COVID-19 Economic Response Plan of $16.6 million to offset year-to-date incurred expenses related to the headwinds created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Third quarter 2020 segment GAAP and non-GAAP operating margins were 27.0% and 27.5%, respectively.
Nuclear Services Group (NSG) segment operating income was $7.6 million in the third quarter of 2020, up 37% compared with $5.5 million for the third quarter of 2019 driven by lower costs.
Cash and Capital Returned to Shareholders
The Company utilized $7.5 million of net cash in operating activities in the third quarter of 2020 compared with $43.9 million of cash generated from operating activities in the prior-year period. At the end of the third quarter 2020, the Company’s cash balance, net of restricted cash, was $44.7 million.
The Company returned $18.1 million of cash to shareholders during the third quarter 2020 through dividends, bringing the total year-to-date cash returned to shareholders to $74.9 million, including $20.0 million in share repurchases and $54.9 million in dividends. As of September 30, 2020, remaining share repurchase authorization was $145 million.
On October 30, 2020, the BWXT Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per common share. The dividend will be payable on December 10, 2020, to shareholders of record on November 20, 2020.
2020 Guidance
BWXT 2020 guidance has been updated to reflect year-to-date performance and management’s outlook on the remainder of the year. 2020 guidance continues to incorporate business conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assumes that current conditions will remain in effect through the remainder of 2020.

BWXT updated the following guidance for 2020:
•Increased non-GAAP EPS from a range of $2.80 – $2.90 to ~$3.00 (excludes pension and post-retirement benefits mark-to-market)
•Increased consolidated revenue growth from up ~8% to up ~9%
•Increased NOG revenue growth from up ~10% to up more than 10%
•Increased NPG revenue growth from down ~1% to up slightly
•Increased NPG operating margin from ~11% to ~14%
BWXT reiterated the following guidance for 2020:
•Non-GAAP operating income and margin
•NOG operating margin in the “high teens” with upside potential from CAS pension reimbursement
•NSG operating income of ~$25 million
•Other segment operating expense primarily R&D of ~1% of revenue
•Unallocated corporate expenses of ~$15 million
•Other income primarily related to pension and other post-employment benefits of ~$37 million


•Capital expenditures of ~$270 million
•Non-GAAP effective tax rate of ~23%
Long-term Guidance
BWXT long-term guidance continues to reflect current business conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and assumes that current conditions will remain in effect through the remainder of 2020.
BWXT reiterated long-term guidance that, excluding the benefit of tax reform, the Company anticipates a non-GAAP EPS compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in the low-double digits over a three-to-five year period from 2017 based on a robust organic growth strategy and balance sheet capacity.
The Company does not provide GAAP guidance because it is unable to reliably forecast most of the items that are excluded from GAAP to calculate non-GAAP results. These items could cause GAAP results to differ materially from non-GAAP results. See reconciliation of non-GAAP results in Exhibit 1 for additional information.

BWXT is providing non-GAAP information regarding certain of its historical results and guidance on future earnings per share to supplement the results provided in accordance with GAAP and it should not be considered superior to, or as a substitute for, the comparable GAAP measures. BWXT believes the non-GAAP measures provide meaningful insight and transparency into the Company’s operational performance and provides these measures to investors to help facilitate comparisons of operating results with prior periods and to assist them in understanding BWXT's ongoing operations.
(3)
BWXT has not included a reconciliation of provided non-GAAP guidance to the comparable GAAP measures due to the difficulty of estimating any mark-to-market adjustments for pension and post-retirement benefits, which are determined at the end of the year.
