Total operating margin was 5.1 percent, up 0.1 percent from the first quarter of last year, and first quarter diluted earnings per share was $0.67, compared with $0.92 in the same period of 2011. Cash used in operating activities in the first quarter of 2012 was $329 million, an improvement of $35 million over the same period last year.

First quarter consolidated sales decreased $116 million from the same period in 2011, driven by lower sales volume following the delivery of NSC-3 USCGC Stratton and LPD-22 San Diego in 2011 and lower sales volume on the CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt refueling and complex overhaul (RCOH) and the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine construction program, partially offset by higher sales on the advance construction contract for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy and the advance planning contract for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH.
Segment operating income in the quarter was $101 million, up $17 million from the same 2011 period. The increase was primarily due to performance improvements on the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine construction program and the absence of unfavorable performance adjustments realized in the first quarter of 2011 on the LPD program and CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford. Total operating income was $80 million, down from $85 million in the same period last year. Total operating margin was 5.1 percent for the quarter, up 0.1 percent from the first quarter of 2011. The decrease in operating income was primarily driven by higher FAS/CAS adjustment in 2012.
Awards
The value of new contract awards during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was approximately $0.8 billion. Significant new awards during this period included contracts for advance procurement for construction of LPD-27 (unnamed) and NSC-6 (unnamed), as well as advance planning efforts for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH.

| Operating margin % | 2.9% | 2.2% | 66 bps | |
Ingalls revenues for the first quarter decreased $69 million from the same period in 2011, driven by lower sales in the National Security Cutter (NSC) and Amphibious Assault Ships programs. The decrease in the NSC program sales was primarily the result of the delivery of NSC-3 USCGC Stratton in 2011. The decrease in Amphibious Assault Ships sales was primarily due to lower sales volume on the LPD program following the delivery of LPD-22 San Diego in 2011.
Ingalls operating income for the first quarter was $20 million compared with $17 million in the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily the result of the absence of unfavorable performance adjustments realized in 2011 on LPD-22 San Diego. Ingalls operating margin was 2.9 percent for the quarter, up from 2.2 percent in the same quarter of 2011.
Key Ingalls program milestones for the quarter:
- LPD-22 San Diego sailed away from Pascagoula en route to her commissioning site in San Diego

Newport News revenues for the first quarter decreased $45 million, or 4.8 percent, from the first quarter 2011, primarily driven by lower sales volume on the CVN-71 USS Theodore Roosevelt RCOH and the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine construction program, partially offset by higher sales volume on the advance construction contract for CVN-79 John F. Kennedy and the advance planning contract for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH.
Newport News operating income for the first quarter was $81 million compared with $67 million in the same period in 2011. The increase was due primarily to the impact of performance improvements on the SSN-774 Virginia-class submarine construction program in 2012, and the absence of unfavorable performance adjustments realized on CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford in 2011. Newport News operating margin was 9.1 percent for the quarter, compared with 7.1 percent in the same quarter of 2011.
Key Newport News program milestones for the quarter:
- Reached 75 percent structural completion of CVN-78 Gerald R. Ford
- Awarded $383 million of planning work for the CVN-72 USS Abraham Lincoln RCOH
- Assumed maintenance responsibilities at Kesselring, the Navy's nuclear propulsion facility in upstate New York

Exhibit B: Reconciliations
We make reference to "segment operating income." Segment operating income is defined as operating income before FAS/CAS adjustment and deferred state income taxes.
Segment operating income is one of the key metrics we use to evaluate operating performance because it excludes items that do not affect segment performance. Therefore, we believe it is appropriate to disclose these measures to help investors analyze our operating performance. However, these measures are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and may not be defined or calculated by other companies in the same manner.
