US-based military shipbuilding company Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII) has posted revenues of $2.67bn in the fourth quarter of 2021, that ended on 31 December 2021.

The figure represents a 2.9% decline from the $2.76bn recorded in the same quarter of 2020.

The company’s net earnings also fell by 51.8%, from $249m in Q4 2020 to $120m in Q4 2021, primarily due to a decrease in shipbuilding operations amid Covid-19 related challenges.

The company’s segments Ingalls Shipbuilding, Newport News Shipbuilding, and Technical Solutions all reported a reduction in quarterly revenues.

HII’s operating income in Q4 2021 was $120m, down 60.7% compared to $305m in Q4 2020. The company’s operating margin also fell from 11.1% to 4.5% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis.

Diluted earnings per share were $2.99 in the quarter. The figure was $6.15 in the same period a year ago.
