BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:BWXT) ("BWXT", "we", "us" or the "Company") reported fourth quarter 2021 revenue of $592 million, a 6% increase compared with $557 million in the fourth quarter 2020. GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2021 was $117 million, or $1.26 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $65.7 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter 2021 was $88.2 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $70.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Full-year 2021 revenue was over $2.1 billion, a slight increase compared with 2020 revenue. GAAP net income in 2021 was $306 million, or $3.24 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $279 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, in 2020. Non-GAAP net income in 2021 was $289 million, or $3.06 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $290 million, or $3.03 per diluted share, in 2020. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results is detailed in Exhibit 1.

"Despite business challenges, including persistence of the pandemic, we delivered another year of solid earnings and set the table for further expansion of the business," said Rex D. Geveden, president and chief executive officer. "Although we reported at the lower end of our initial range, 2021 was marked by several key milestone achievements. BWXT secured a new sole-source nuclear materials contract, won and began transition of a new flagship contract for the Department of Energy nuclear restoration project at Savannah River, strengthened our beachhead in therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals, and continued to mature new technology and designs for microreactor programs."

"We expect to build on these successes in 2022 to deliver the medium-term financial targets set forth at our recent Investor Day. Additionally, we are announcing a new organization of our reporting segments to reflect the way we are running the business, which we expect to result in meaningful strategic and cost synergies."

"We remain focused on driving our multi-faceted growth strategy by using nuclear technology to solve some of our customers' most challenging problems through two distinct customer-based reporting segments: Government Operations and Commercial Operations," said Geveden.

Segment Results

Nuclear Operations Group (NOG) segment revenue was $453 million for the fourth quarter 2021, a 6% increase from the prior-year period, driven by higher long-lead material production and labor volume. Full-year 2021 segment revenue was over $1.6 billion, a 1% decrease compared with 2020 revenue, as a result of higher labor volume and higher naval nuclear fuel and uranium downblending, which was more than offset by lower long-lead material production.

NOG operating income was $85.8 million in the fourth quarter 2021, a 6% increase compared with the prior-year period, primarily driven by higher revenue. Full-year segment operating income was $309 million, a 5% decrease compared with the prior year, primarily driven by less government-reimbursed pension costs and negative operational efficiency impacts related to COVID-19 resulting in lower levels of net favorable contract adjustments. Fourth quarter and full-year 2021 segment operating margins were 18.9% and 19.0%, respectively.

Nuclear Power Group (NPG) segment revenue was $114 million for the fourth quarter 2021, a 7% increase from the prior-year period, driven by higher fuel production and fuel handling, higher nuclear power field service activity and higher nuclear medicine demand, partially offset by lower component manufacturing volume. Full-year segment revenue was $407 million, a 10% increase compared with the prior year, driven by higher fuel production and fuel handling, higher nuclear power field service activity and higher nuclear medicine demand, partially offset by lower component manufacturing volume.

NPG fourth quarter GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $22.4 million and $23.0 million, respectively, both a 70% respective increase compared with the prior-year period, driven primarily by increased revenue, partially offset by a reduction in funds received under the CEWS program to offset incurred expenses related to the headwinds created by the pandemic. Full-year 2021 segment GAAP and non-GAAP operating income was $52.5 million and $53.5 million, respectively, a 1% increase and a 1% decrease, respectively, compared with the prior year, driven primarily by a reduction in funds received in under the CEWS program to offset expenses incurred due to the pandemic, nearly offset by increased operating income associated with higher revenue. Fourth quarter and full-year 2021 GAAP segment operating margins were 19.6% and 12.9%, respectively. Fourth quarter and full-year 2021 non-GAAP segment operating margins were 20.1% and 13.1%, respectively.

Nuclear Services Group (NSG) segment operating income was $6.1 million in the fourth quarter 2021, compared with $8.4 million of operating income for the fourth quarter 2020 primarily driven by lower contract fees and higher costs. Full-year 2021 segment operating income was $27.9 million, compared with $26.4 million GAAP operating income and $27.4 million non-GAAP operating income in the prior year, a 6% and 2% respective increase, driven by better contract performance and lower costs that were offset by higher business development expense and lower income from completed contracts.

Beginning in the first quarter 2022, our reportable segments will be Government Operations and Commercial Operations to reflect the manner in which resources will be allocated and operating performance will be assessed going forward. Government Operations includes the legacy Nuclear Operations and Nuclear Services Groups, while Commercial Operations includes the legacy Nuclear Power Group. New segment financial information for 2020 and 2021 is detailed in Exhibit 2.

Cash and Capital Returned to Shareholders

The Company generated $160 million of cash from operating activities in the fourth quarter 2021, compared with $48.3 million of cash generated from operating activities in the prior-year period, which did not include an $88.7 million cash receipt typically received at year-end which was received on January 4, 2021. The Company generated $386 million of cash from operating activities for the full year 2021. The Company's cash balance, net of restricted cash, was $34 million at the end of the year.

The Company returned $59.4 million to shareholders during the fourth quarter 2021, bringing the total to $305 million of cash returned for the full year, including $226 million in share repurchases and $79.7 million in dividends. As of December 31, 2021, total remaining share repurchase authorization was $418 million.

On February 18, 2022, the BWXT Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share, an increase from the prior quarterly cash dividend. The dividend will be payable on March 29, 2022, to shareholders of record on March 10, 2022.

2022 Guidance

Revenue up 3% to 4% vs. 2021
Adjusted EBITDA up 3% to 4% vs. 2021
Non-GAAP EPS range of $3.05 to $3.25
Cash from operations of $260 million to $290 million
Capital expenditures of $180 million to $200 million

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.
