Results of Operations

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 2011 were $752.4 million, an increase of $63.9 million or 9.3% from the second quarter of 2010. This increase was across all business segments. Nuclear Energy segment revenues increased $36.2 million, or 62.7% primarily due to beginning a large replacement steam generator project during the second quarter. Revenues in the Nuclear Operations segment increased $25.7 million, or 10.4% primarily as a result of the continuing ramp-up in production of Virginia-class submarine components and higher nuclear fuel production. Power Generation segment revenues increased $19.3 million, or 5.2% primarily due to increased North American construction activity more than offsetting a continuing decline in new-build environmental and power generation systems. Technical Services segment revenues increased $9.8 million, or 46.9% in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the second quarter of 2010. This increase was due principally to the award of nearly $3.6 billion of environmental remediation, decontamination and decommissioning contracts, primarily for the DOE, over the last twelve months.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2011 was $63.3 million compared to $85.7 million in the second quarter of 2010. Included in the second quarter 2011 operating income was the impact of a favorable $10.9 million acquisition related settlement at Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. (NFS) and a $26.0 million unfavorable adjustment to the estimated cost to complete on a certain Nuclear Energy project. Without the impact of these items, operating income was $78.4 million, a decrease of $7.3 million from the second quarter of 2010.

The decrease in operating income before items was primarily due to the reduction in the volume of new-build power generation and environmental projects as well as the close out of certain Power Generation segment projects in the second quarter of 2010, which had the effect of improving the operating results in that prior quarter. The decrease was partially offset by the improvement in performance and production at NFS, the increase in production of nuclear components for the submarine and aircraft carrier programs and fees earned from new management and operation awards.

Update on Loss Contracts

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company recorded a loss on material downblending contracts at NFS. The processing of the material that resulted in the majority of the first quarter charge has been completed. Additionally at NFS, the Company successfully negotiated a settlement related to the acquisition of NFS, resulting in an increase in operating income and cash during the second quarter of 2011 of approximately $10.9 million. Before the favorable impact of this item, NFS operated profitably on revenues of $48.8 million.

During the first quarter, the Company recorded a loss on a certain Nuclear Energy project. As this project shifted from the demolition phase to reconstruction late in the second quarter, the Company encountered a series of unexpected conditions resulting in further schedule extension and incremental estimated cost to complete. As of today, the remaining scope of work on this project is completion of the final structural welding, which has proceeded well. From an accounting perspective, second quarter operating results include an additional charge of $26.0 million representing the gross estimated incremental cost to complete as of the end of the second quarter of 2011. There have been no offsetting claims or equitable adjustments included in the results for the second quarter. Claims and equitable adjustments that are currently in process are significant in value and may be realized over time. “It is unfortunate that certain unknown and undisclosed conditions at this site required the Company to take extensive measures beyond the original scope of work to complete the project. The Company intends to recover all of the costs to which we are contractually entitled. Additionally, the Company has thoroughly reviewed its backlog and determined there are no other fixed-price nuclear projects,” said Brandon C. Bethards, President and Chief Executive Officer of B&W.

Update on EPA Regulation

On July 7, 2011, the EPA released its final rules for CSAPR, formerly referred to as the Clean Air Transport Rules (CATR), with a compliance period beginning January 1, 2012. Additionally, the comment period for the draft mercury and air toxics rules, or Utility Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards (Utility MACT) ended August 4, 2011. Under court order, the EPA has a deadline of November 16, 2011 to finalize the Utility MACT rules. From the Company’s perspective, EPA rules and regulations continue to move forward and are expected to result in a significant market for environmental compliance through engineering, procurement, and construction of equipment over the next several years. “With the drafting and passage of these regulations, we have seen the pace of customer inquiries and bidding activity intensifying as utilities plan for their capital requirements for compliance. We have recently announced two contracts for the design and supply of emissions control systems and we have been awarded several small environmental engineering and design contracts. We expect to continue to see projects awarded through the balance of the year and into 2012,” Bethards said.

Liquidity

The Company’s cash and investments position, net of debt, was $368.7 million at the end of the second quarter of 2011 compared to $375.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2011. In addition to net cash, the Company maintains a $700 million revolving credit agreement with approximately $506.2 million of availability as of the end of the second quarter. The Company continues to maintain adequate liquidity to fund operations, which could include increased working capital requirements, internal growth and R&D programs, as well as additional product and geographic expansion opportunities.
