For the new fiscal year 2023, HII has predicted that its shipbuilding revenue will range from $8.4bn to $8.6bn and free cash flow to be between $400m and $450m.

HII president and CEO Chris Kastner said: “We finished the year with strong fourth quarter cash generation, which keeps us on track to meet our five-year free cash flow commitment of $2.9bn from 2020 to 2024.

“I am looking forward to 2023, as we are expecting to deliver five ships, and we will continue to grow the Mission Technologies division, capitalising on the significant $66bn pipeline.”

In a separate development, HII has started the construction of a new Multi-Class Submarine Production Facility at Newport News Shipbuilding division to support the US Navy’s Columbia- and Virginia-class submarines.
