BWX Technologies Reports Second Quarter 2021 Results and Continues Progress On Future Growth Milestones
•Generates 2Q21 earnings of $0.62 per share on consolidated revenue of $505 million
•Reiterates 2021 guidance: non-GAAP earnings range of $3.05 to $3.20 per share
•Continues progress on Technetium-99m commercialization

•Sets date for Investor Day in New York City on November 16, 2021
Lynchburg, VA – August 2, 2021 - BWX Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BWXT) ("BWXT", "we", "us" or the "Company") reported second quarter 2021 revenue of $505 million, about even compared with $505 million in the second quarter 2020. Net income for the second quarter 2021 was $59.3 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net income of $64.3 million, or $0.67 per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of $67.7 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. A reconciliation of non-GAAP results is detailed in Exhibit 1.
“BWXT delivered on another solid quarter as we prepared for a strong second half of the year” said Rex D. Geveden, president and chief executive officer. "We are where we anticipated to be at the midpoint of 2021 and have line-of-sight on the remaining work to accomplish in the year, resulting in us reiterating financial guidance across the board.”
“The Company’s execution is exemplified by the strength we see across the core businesses including the Nuclear Operations Group’s stability as it ramps up on the Columbia program, consistent deliveries of large nuclear power components to enable Canadian clean energy, and the strong proposals submitted at important DOE nuclear sites that we anticipate will lead to wins later this year. At BWXT’s investor day in November, we are excited to share more insight into the strategy and trends across the core businesses while also highlighting emerging opportunities in nuclear medicine, advanced reactors and nuclear fuel that further support the Company’s medium and long-term growth outlook.” said Geveden.
Segment Results
Nuclear Operations Group (NOG) segment revenue was $381 million for the second quarter 2021, a 7% decrease from the prior-year period, driven by higher production volume which was more than offset by lower long-lead material production. NOG operating income was $69.2 million in the second quarter 2021, a 20% decrease compared with the prior-year period driven by lower revenue and fewer favorable contract adjustments due to timing of certain milestones, resulting in second quarter 2021 segment operating margin of 18.1%.
Nuclear Power Group (NPG) segment revenue was $102 million for the second quarter 2021, a 50% increase from the prior-year period primarily due to higher volume of field services, higher fuel and fuel handling activity, and higher volume of medical isotope demand. NPG operating income was $10.8 million for the second quarter 2021, a significant increase compared with the prior-year period on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, driven primarily from higher revenue in commercial nuclear power and


BWXT medical, and incremental funds received under the Canadian COVID-19 Economic Response Plan to offset incurred expenses related to the pandemic. Second quarter 2021 segment operating margin was 10.6%.
Nuclear Services Group (NSG) segment operating income was $5.8 million for the second quarter 2021, up 40% compared with $4.1 million of GAAP operating income and up 13% compared with $5.1 million of non-GAAP operating income in the second quarter 2020 driven by better project performance partially offset by the absence of contracts that completed in 2020.
Cash and Capital Returned to Shareholders
The Company generated $59.9 million of cash from operating activities in the second quarter 2021, compared with $162 million in the second quarter 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash balance, net of restricted cash, was $191 million.
On July 30, 2021, the BWXT Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per common share. The dividend will be payable on September 8, 2021, to shareholders of record on August 19, 2021.
During the second quarter 2021, the Company returned $20.0 million of cash to shareholders in dividends, resulting in a total of $60.3 million of cash returned to shareholders year-to-date, including $20.0 million in share repurchases and $40.3 million in dividends.
2021 Guidance
BWXT reiterated all components of 2021 guidance:
•Non-GAAP EPS range of $3.05 – $3.20 (excludes pension and post-retirement benefits mark-to-market)
•Consolidated revenue growth of low-single digits vs. 2020 results
•NOG revenue up slightly
•NPG revenue growth of ~6%
•Non-GAAP operating income and margin
•NOG operating margin of “high teens” with upside from CAS pension reimbursement
•NPG operating margin of ~13%
•NSG operating income range of $25-30 million
•Capital expenditures of ~$250 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.

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.
