NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation - The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of HII and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. For classification of current assets and liabilities related to its long-term production contracts, the Company uses the duration of these contracts as its operating cycle, which is generally longer than one year. Additionally, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary by management for a fair presentation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.2020.

The quarterly information is labeled using a calendar convention; that is, first quarter is consistently labeled as ending on March 31, second quarter as ending on June 30, and third quarter as ending on September 30. It is management's long-standing practice to establish interim closing dates using a "fiscal" calendar, which requires the businesses to close their books on a Friday near these quarter-end dates in order to normalize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closings on business processes. The effects of this practice only exist for interim periods within a reporting year.

Accounting Estimates - The preparation of the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates have been prepared on the basis of the most current and best available information, and actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Additionally, while the Company cannot reasonably estimate thehas incorporated realized and estimated future effects of the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) at this time, it is reasonably possible that, including, among other things, orders of civil authorities associated with COVID-19 could cause changesand steps taken to estimatesmitigate the effects of COVID-19 (collectively, “COVID-19 Events”), with respect to contract costs and revenue recognition, effective income tax rates, and the fair values of the Company’s long-lived assets, financial instruments, intangible assets, and goodwill recorded at our reporting units. There was no material impact included inWhile costs related to COVID-19 Events are allowable under U.S. Government contracts, the Company's estimates as of March 31, 2020, as a result of the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. This position was supported byEvents reflect uncertainty regarding the assumption thatCompany's ability to recover the Company will recoverfull costs related to COVID-19 related costsEvents under its U.S. Government contracts based on government relief actions such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act") and U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") guidance. There

remains uncertainty regarding the process to recover COVID-19 related costs, which may result in reimbursement of less than the full costs incurred by the Company. As a result, the Company is not able to estimate any reasonably possible losses resulting from the impact of COVID-19.

Government Grants - The Company recognizes incentive grants, inclusive of transfers of depreciable assets, from federal, state, and local governments at fair value upon compliance with the conditions of their receipt and reasonable assurance that the grants will be received or the depreciable assets will be transferred. Grants in recognition of specific expenses are recognized in the same period as an offset to those related expenses. Grants related to depreciable assets are recognized over the periods and in the proportions in which depreciation expense on those assets is recognized.

For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, the Company recognized cash grant benefits of approximately $5$1 million in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. For the three months ended March 31, 2019,2020, the Company recognized cash grant benefits of approximately $36$5 million in other long-term liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments - Except for the Company's long-term debt, the carrying amounts of the Company's financial instruments recorded at historical cost approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and low credit risk associated with the respective counterparties.

The Company maintains multiple grantor trusts to fund certain non-qualified pension plans. These trusts were valued at $137$191 million and $147$182 million as of March 31, 2020,2021, and December 31, 2019,2020, respectively, and are presented within miscellaneous other assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. These trusts consist primarily of investments in marketable securities, which are held at fair value within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Loan Receivable - The Company holds a loan receivable in connection with a seller financed transaction involving its previously owned Avondale shipyardShipyard facility. The receivable is carried at amortized cost in the amount of $40$34 million, net of a $8$15 million of loan discount as of each of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, which approximates fair value and is recorded in miscellaneous other assets on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of financial position. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective yield method. The discount is accreted into income using the effective yield method over the estimated life of the loan receivable.

Other Current Liabilities - Other current liabilities were $531 million as of March 31, 2021, and $462 million as of December 31, 2020. Payroll taxes payable, which is a component of other current liabilities, was $127 million as of March 31, 2021, and $125 million as of December 31, 2020.

In February 2019, the Company acquired Fulcrum IT Services, LLC ("Fulcrum"), an information technology and government consulting company, for approximately $195 million in cash, net of $1 million of acquired cash. The acquisition was consistent with the Company's strategy to optimize and expand its services portfolio. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded $133 million of goodwill, which includes the value of Fulcrum's workforce, all of which was allocated to its Technical Solutions segment, as well as $49 million of intangible assets related to existing contract backlog. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a decrease in goodwill of $1 million, primarily driven by the finalization of a net working capital adjustment and the fair value calculations for certain assets and liabilities. See Note 11: Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Fulcrum are not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In December 2018, the Company acquired G2, Inc. ("G2"), a provider of cybersecurity solutions to the U.S. Government, for approximately $77 million in cash, net of $2 million of acquired cash. The acquisition was consistent with the Company's strategy to optimize and expand its services portfolio.

7. REVENUE

The following is a description of principal activities from which the Company generates its revenues. For more detailed information regarding reportable segments, see Note 8: Segment Information. For more detailed information regarding the Company's significant accounting policy for revenue, see Note 2: Basis of Presentation.

Table of Contents
U.S. Government Contracts

The Ingalls and Newport News segments generate revenue primarily from performance under multi-year contracts with the U.S. Government, generally the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, or prime contractors to contracts with the U.S. Government, relating to the advance planning, design, construction, repair, maintenance, refueling, overhaul, or inactivation of nuclear-powered ships and non-nuclear ships. The period over which the Company performs may extend past five years. The Technical Solutions segment also generates the majority of its revenue from contracts with the U.S. Government, including U.S. Government agencies. The Company generally invoices and receives related payments based upon performance progress no less frequently than monthly.

Shipbuilding - For most of the Company's shipbuilding contracts, the customer contracts with the Company to provide a comprehensive service of designing, procuring long-lead-time materials, manufacturing, and integrating complex equipment and technologies into a single ship or project, often resulting in a single performance obligation. Contract modifications to account for changes in specifications and requirements are recognized when approved by the customer. In the majority of circumstances, modifications do not result in additional performance obligations that are distinct from the existing performance obligations in the contract and the effects of the modifications are recognized as an adjustment to revenue on a cumulative catch-up basis. Alternatively, in instances where the performance obligations in the modifications are deemed distinct, contract modifications are accounted for prospectively.

The Company considers incentive and award fees to be variable consideration and includes in the transaction price at inception the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. Transaction price is limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance, and estimated revenues represent those amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable.

The Company recognizes revenues related to shipbuilding contracts as it satisfies the related performance obligations over time using a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, which best reflects the transfer of control to the customer.

Services - The Technical Solutions segment generates revenue primarily under U.S. Government contracts from the provision of fleet support and MDISDFS services. Contracts generally are structured using either an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity ("IDIQ") vehicle, under which orders are issued, or a standalone contract. Contracts may be fixed-price or cost-type, include variable consideration such as incentives and awards, and structured as task orders under an IDIQ contract vehicle or requirements contract vehicle. In either case, the Company generally performs services over the course of a short-duration periodshorter duration and may continue to perform upon exercise of related period of performance options that are also shortshorter in duration, generally one year.duration. The Company’s performance obligations vary in nature and may be stand-ready, in which case the Company responds to the customer’s needs on the basis of its demand, a recurring service, typically recurring maintenance services, or a single performance obligation that does not comprise a series of distinct services.

In determining transaction price, the Company considers incentives and other contingencies to be variable consideration and includes in the initial transaction price the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. Transaction price is limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance, and estimated revenues represent those amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Where a series of distinct services has been identified, the Company generally allocates variable consideration to distinct time increments of service.

The Company generally recognizes revenue as it satisfies the related performance obligations over time using a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, because, even where the Company has identified a series of services, its cost incurrence pattern generally is not ratable given the complex nature of the services the Company provides. Invoices are issued and related payments are received, on the basis of performance progress, no less frequently than monthly. In addition, many of the Company's U.S. Government services contracts are time and material arrangements. As a result, the Company often utilizes the practical expedient allowing the recognition

of revenue in the amount the Company invoices, which corresponds with the value provided to the customer and to which the Company is entitled to payment for performance to date.

9

Table of Contents
Non-U.S. Government Contracts

Revenues generated under commercial and state and local government agency contracts are primarily derived from the provision of nuclear and environmental and oil and gas services. Non-U.S. Government contracts typically are one or two years in duration.

In determining transaction price, the Company considers incentives and other contingencies to be variable consideration and includes in the initial transaction price the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled under the terms and conditions of the contract, generally estimated using a most likely amount approach. In the context of variable consideration, the Company limits the transaction price to amounts for which the Company believes a significant reversal of revenue is not probable. Such amounts may relate to transaction price in excess of funding, a lack of history with the customer, a lack of history with the goods or services being provided, or other items.

Revenue generally is recognized over time given the terms and conditions of the related contracts. The Company generally utilizes a cost-to-cost input method to measure performance progress, which best depicts the transfer of control to the customer. The Company’s non-U.S. Government contract portfolio is comprised of a large number of time and material arrangements. As a result, the Company often utilizes the practical expedient allowing the recognition of revenue in the amount the Company invoices, which corresponds with the value provided to the customer and to which the Company is entitled to payment for performance to date.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables present revenues on a disaggregated basis, in a manner that reconciles with the Company's reportable segment disclosures, for the following categories: product versus service type, customer type, contract type, and major program. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified. See Note 8: Segment Information. The Company believes that this level of disaggregation provides investors with information to evaluate the Company’s financial performance and provides the Company with information to make capital allocation decisions in the most appropriate manner.

The Company is organized into 3 reportable segments: Ingalls, Newport News, and Technical Solutions, consistent with how management makes operating decisions and assesses performance.

In January 2020, the Company realigned its segments to optimize its operating structure. As a result of this realignment, the Company's HII Mechanical business was transferred from the Technical Solutions segment to the Newport News segment to better align HII Mechanical's work primarily supporting Newport News. The Company has reflected the 2020 realignment in prior financial reporting periods on an as-if basis, which has resulted in the transfer of revenue, operating income, assets, and liabilities between the Technical Solutions and Newport News segments. This realignment did not impact the Company's previously reported consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 7: Revenue.

Other Intangible Assets

The Company's purchased intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis or a method based on the pattern of benefits over their estimated useful lives. Net intangible assets consist principallyprimarily of amounts pertainingrelating to nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and submarine program intangible assets, with an aggregate weighted-average useful life of 40 years based on the long life cycle of the related programs. Aggregate amortization expense was $13 million and $11 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and 2019.respectively.

In connection with the FulcrumSIS purchase in 2019,2020, the Company recorded $49$13 million of intangible assets pertaining to technology and existing contract backlog, and customer relationships, to bewhich is being amortized using the pattern of benefits method over a weighted-average life of seventen years.

intangible assets pertaining to existing contract backlog, customer relationships, and technology, which is being amortized using the pattern of benefits method over a weighted-average life of nine years.

The Company expects amortization expense for purchased intangible assets of approximately $44 million in 2020, $40$52 million in 2021, $46 million in 2022, $37 million in 2022, $262023, $28 million in 2023,2024, and $16$28 million in 2024.2025.

12.11. INCOME TAXES

The Company's earnings are primarily domestic, and its effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were 14.5% and 2019, were 20.4%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to the tax loss associated with the sale of the Company’s oil and 20.8%, respectively, whichgas business resulting in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 5.5%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company’s effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the tax loss associated with the sale of its oil and gas business. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company's effective tax rate did not differ materially from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21%.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was signed into law. The CARES Act includes certain changes to U.S. federal tax law that impact corporations. The Company’s initial analysis of the tax law changes included in the CARES Act indicates that the Act will not have a material impact on the Company’s effective income tax rate.

The Company's unrecognized tax benefits increased by $2$3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the estimated amounts of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, were liabilities of $38$50 million. Assuming a sustainment of these tax positions, the reversal of $30$36 million of the accrued amounts would favorably affect the Company's effective federal income tax rate in future periods.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, interest resulting from the unrecognized tax benefits noted above increased income tax expense less than $1 million.
Non-current state income taxes include deferred state income taxes, which reflect the change in deferred state tax assets and liabilities, and the tax expense or benefit associated with changes in unrecognized state tax benefits in the relevant period. These amounts are recorded within operating income. Current period state income tax expense is charged to contract costs and included in cost of sales and service revenues in segment operating income.

14.13. INVESTIGATIONS, CLAIMS, AND LITIGATION

The Company is involved in legal proceedings before various courts and administrative agencies, and is periodically subject to government examinations, inquiries and investigations. Pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification 450 Contingencies, the Company has accrued for losses associated with investigations, claims, and litigation when, and to the extent that, loss amounts related to the investigations, claims, and litigation are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The actual losses that might be incurred to resolve such investigations, claims, and litigation may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued. For matters where a material loss is probable or reasonably possible and the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated, but the Company is able to reasonably estimate a range of possible losses, the Company will disclose such estimated range in these notes. This estimated range is based on information currently available to the Company and involves elements of judgment and significant uncertainties. Any estimated range of possible loss does not represent the Company's maximum possible loss exposure. For matters as to which the Company is not able to reasonably estimate a possible loss or range of loss, the Company will indicate the reasons why it is unable to estimate the possible loss or range of loss. For matters not specifically described in these notes, the Company does not believe, based on information currently available to it, that it is reasonably possible that the liabilities, if any, arising from such investigations, claims, and litigation will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company has, in certain cases, provided disclosure regarding certain matters for which the Company believes at this time that the likelihood of material loss is remote.

False Claims Act Complaint - In 2016, the Company was made aware that it is a defendant in a qui tam False Claims Act lawsuit pending in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida related to the Company’s
16

Table of Contents
purchases of allegedly non-conforming parts from a supplier for use in connection with U.S. Government contracts. In August 2019, the Department of Justice (“DoJ”) declined to intervene in the lawsuit, and the lawsuit was unsealed. Depending onThe court dismissed the outcome ofcomplaint, but the lawsuit,plaintiff was permitted to refile the compliant and did so. The case is at an early stage, and the Company could be subject to civil penalties, damages, and/or suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts, which could have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company recentlyhas filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and has not had an opportunity to engage in any discovery related toSecond Amended Complaint. As a
15

Table of Contents
result, the issues set forth in the complaint. At this early stage, the Company currently is unable to estimate an amount or range of reasonably possible loss or to express an opinion regarding the ultimate outcome.outcome of the matter.

Insurance Claims - In September 2020, the Company filed a complaint in the Superior Court, State of Vermont, Franklin Unit, seeking a judgment declaring that the Company's business interruption and other losses associated with COVID-19 are covered by the Company's property insurance program. A total of 32 reinsurers are named as defendants in the complaint. The Company also has initiated arbitration proceedings against 6 other reinsurers seeking similar relief. Prior to filing the complaint and initiating the arbitration proceedings, the Company provided a notice of loss to the reinsurers, but, to date, none of the reinsurers have acknowledged coverage. The full extent of the Company's losses resulting from COVID-19 have not yet been determined, and the process of calculating losses is continuing. Although the Company believes its position is well-founded, no assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter.
U.S. Government Investigations and Claims - Departments and agencies of the U.S. Government have the authority to investigate various transactions and operations of the Company, and the results of such investigations may lead to administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings, the ultimate outcome of which could be fines, penalties, repayments or compensatory, treble, or other damages. U.S. Government regulations provide that certain findings against a contractor may also lead to suspension or debarment from future U.S. Government contracts or the loss of export privileges. Any suspension or debarment would have a material effect on the Company because of its reliance on government contracts.

Asbestos Related Claims - HII and its predecessors-in-interest are defendants in a longstanding series of cases that have been and continue to be filed in various jurisdictions around the country, wherein former and current employees and various third parties allege exposure to asbestos containing materials while on or associated with HII premises or while working on vessels constructed or repaired by HII. The cases allege various injuries, including those associated with pleural plaque disease, asbestosis, cancer, mesothelioma, and other alleged asbestos related conditions. In some cases, several of HII's former executive officers are also named as defendants. In some instances, partial or full insurance coverage is available to the Company for its liability and that of its former executive officers. The costs to resolve cases during the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, were immaterial individually and in the aggregate. The Company’s estimate of asbestos-related liabilities is subject to uncertainty because liabilities are influenced by numerous variables that are inherently difficult to predict. Key variables include the number and type of new claims, the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation. Although the Company believes the ultimate resolution of current cases will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict what new or revised claims or litigation might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of asbestos related litigation.

Other Litigation - In March 2019, a new dry dock being transported for delivery to Ingalls by a heavy lift ship struck an Ingalls work barge, which in turn was pushed into Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) causing damage to Delbert D. Black (DDG 119), the work barge, and the new dry dock. At the time of the incident, responsibility for the new dry dock remained with the builder and the transport company. Repair work on Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) was completed at U.S. Navy direction. The Company is working with the U.S. Navy to ascertain whether third parties will pay for the repairs to Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) or whether the repairs will be paid under the builder's risk insurance included in the Delbert D. Black (DDG 119) contract. Claims were tendered to the Company's insurers, and the Company has received all outstanding claim proceeds. In April 2019, the Company filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi seeking, among other relief, damages from negligent third parties. Based on information currently available, management believes it will collect sufficient funds from one or more third parties to compensate for the resulting direct and consequential damages, but failure to collect sufficient funds or the length of time required to collect such funds could result in a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The Company and its predecessor-in-interest have been in litigation with the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (the "Republic") since 2002 over a contract for the repair, refurbishment, and modernization at Ingalls of 2 foreign-built frigates. The case proceeded towards arbitration, then appeared to settle favorably, but the settlement was overturned in court and the matter returned to litigation. In March 2014, the Company filed an arbitral statement of claim asserting breaches of the contract. In July 2014, theThe Republic filed a statement of defense in the arbitration denying alldenied the Company’s allegations and a counterclaim alleging late redelivery of the frigates, unfinished work, and breach of warranty.asserted counterclaims. In February 2018, the arbitral tribunal awarded the Company approximately $151 million on its claims and awarded the Republic approximately $22 million on its counterclaims. The Company is seeking to enforce and execute upon the award in multiple jurisdictions. No assurances can be provided regarding the ultimate resolution of this matter.

Table of Contents                                        
The Company is party to various other claims, legal proceedings and investigations that arise in the ordinary course of business, including U.S. Government investigations that could result in administrative, civil, or criminal proceedings involving the Company. The Company is a contractor with the U.S. Government, and such proceedings can therefore include False Claims Act allegations against the Company. Although the Company believes that the resolution of these other claims, legal proceedings and investigations will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, the Company cannot predict what new or revised claims or litigation might be asserted or what information might come to light and can, therefore, give no assurances regarding the ultimate outcome of these matters.

15. LEASES

The Company leases certain land, warehouses, office space, and production, office, and technology equipment, among other items. Most equipment is leased on a monthly basis. Many land, warehouse, and office space leases include renewal terms that can extend the lease term. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are generally limited by the expected lease term. The Company's lease agreements do not generally contain material residual value guarantees, material restrictive covenants, or purchase options. The Company's lease portfolio consists primarily of operating leases. Amounts after January 1, 2019, are reported under Topic 842 in accordance with ASU 2016-02.

16.14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Contract Performance Contingencies - Contract profit margins may include estimates of revenues for matters on which the customer and the Company have not reached agreement, such as settlements in the process of negotiation, contract changes, claims, and requests for equitable adjustment for unanticipated contract costs. These estimates are based upon management's best assessment of the underlying causal events and circumstances and are included in contract profit marginsrecognized to the extent of expected recovery based upon contractual entitlements and the probability of successful negotiation with the customer. As of March 31, 2020,2021, amounts recognized in connection with claims and requests for equitable adjustment were not material individually or in the aggregate.

Guarantees of Performance Obligations - From time to time in the ordinary course of business, HII may enterenters into joint ventures, teaming agreements, and other business arrangements to supportin connection with the Company's products and services.services or to pursue strategic objectives. The Company attempts to limit its exposure under these arrangements to its investment or the extent of obligations under the applicable contract. In some cases, however, HII may be required to guarantee performance of the arrangement's obligations and, in such cases, generally obtains cross-indemnification from the other members of the arrangement.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may guarantee obligations of its subsidiaries under certain contracts. Generally, the Company is liable under such an arrangementguarantees only if its subsidiary is unable to perform its obligations. Historically, the Company has not incurred any substantial liabilities resulting from these guarantees. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company was not aware of any existing event of default that would require it to satisfy any of these guarantees.

Environmental Matters - The estimated cost to complete environmental remediation has been accrued when it is probable that the Company will incur such costs in the future to address environmental conditions at currently or formerly owned or leased operating facilities, or at sites where it has been named a Potentially Responsible Party ("PRP") by the Environmental Protection Agency or similarly designated by another environmental agency, and the related costs can be estimated by management. These accruals do not include any litigation costs related to environmental matters, nor do they include amounts recorded as asset retirement obligations. To assess the potential impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements, management estimates the range of reasonably possible remediation costs that could be incurred by the Company, taking into account currently available facts on each site, as well as the current state of technology and prior experience remediating contaminated sites. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect changes in facts and technical and legal circumstances. Management estimatedestimates that as of March 31, 2020,2021, the probable estimable future cost for environmental remediation was immaterial. Factors that could result in changes to the Company's estimates include: modification of planned remedial actions, increases or decreases in the estimated time required to remediate, changes to the determination of legally responsible parties, discovery of more extensive contamination than anticipated, changes in laws and regulations affecting remediation requirements, and improvements in remediation technology. Should other PRPs not pay their allocable share of remediation costs, the Company may incur costs exceeding those already estimated and accrued. In addition, there are certain potential remediation sites where the costs of remediation cannot be reasonably estimated. Although management cannot predict whether new information gained as remediation progresses will materially affect the estimated liability accrued, management does not believe that future remediation expenditures will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Financial Arrangements - In the ordinary course of business, HII uses letters of credit issued by commercial banks to support certain leases, insurance policies, and contractual performance obligations, as well as surety bonds issued by insurance companies principally to support the Company's self-insured workers' compensation plans. As

of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company had $16$15 million in issued but undrawn letters of credit, as indicated in Note 13:12: Debt, and $272 million of surety bonds outstanding.

U.S. Government Claims - From time to time, the U.S. Government communicates to the Company potential claims, disallowed costs, and penalties concerning prior costs incurred by the Company with which the U.S. Government disagrees. When such preliminary findings are presented, the Company and U.S. Government representatives engage in discussions, from which HIIthe Company evaluates the merits of the claims and assesses the amounts being questioned. Although the Company believes that the resolution of any of these matters will not have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, it cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters.

Other Matters - In 1985, the Company and the U.S. Navy entered into a settlement agreement to resolve disputes associated with billing and allocating to contracts the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance, among other matters. In 2016, the Defense Contract Audit Agency ("DCAA") opined that the 1985 settlement agreement did not comply with certain CAS standards and referred the matter to a U.S. Navy’s Contracting Officer. In December 2020, the Contracting Officer issued a determination that the 1985 settlement agreement did not comply with CAS and directed the Company to develop and implement a different process to bill and allocate the cost of workers’ compensation self-insurance. Cumulatively, under the 1985 settlement agreement, the Company has not recognized as allowable billable costs of approximately $120 million due to the difference between CAS and U.S. GAAP Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") treatment of workers’ compensation cost. Under the 1985 settlement agreement, these costs would be recognized as allowable billable costs in future periods. Though the Company believes the 1985 settlement agreement is CAS-compliant and cannot be unilaterally terminated, the Company will seek to negotiate a resolution of the matter with the Contracting Officer. If a resolution results in the use of a different treatment or billing methodology that does not provide for the Company to recognize as allowable the CAS to FAS difference, the resolution could have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, including an inability to recover any or all of the $120 million of costs not yet billed to the customer.

Collective Bargaining Agreements - Of the Company's approximately 42,000 employees, approximately 50% are covered by a total of 9 collective bargaining agreements and twoone site stabilization agreements.agreement. Newport News has 43 collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, which expire in November 2020, November 2021, December 2022, and April 2024. The collective bargaining agreement that expires in November 2021 covers approximately 50% of Newport News employees. Newport News craft workers employed at the Kesselring Site near Saratoga Springs, New York are represented under an indefinite Department of Energy ("DoE") site agreement. Ingalls has 5 collective bargaining agreements covering represented employees, all of which expire in March 2022. Approximately 5025 Technical Solutions employees at various locationsin Klamath Falls, Oregon are representedcovered by unions and perform work undera collective bargaining agreements.agreement that expires in June 2021. The Company believes its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.
Collective bargaining agreements generally expire after three years to five years and are subject to renegotiation at that time. The Company does not expect the results of these negotiations, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations.

Purchase Obligations - Periodically the Company enters into agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on the Company and specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. These obligations are primarily comprised of open purchase order commitments to vendors and subcontractors pertaining to funded contracts.

We are aggressively managing our response to the uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.Events. Our primary focus has been to minimize the risk to our employees by implementing liberalupdating leave policies, and increasedincreasing telecommuting, and making benefits changes to provide employees maximum flexibility. We have also adjusted policies and workspaces to align with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines and to support social distancing, including changes to shift schedules to reduce concurrent headcount, increased sanitation efforts, working to procure personal protective equipment for employees, and suspension of all non-essential work travel. As a result, we have incurred and expect to continue incurring costs related to our COVID-19 response,Events, including paid leave, quarantining employees, and recurring facility cleaning. While ourOur shipyards and other facilities remainremained open and productive, but we experienced temporary decreases in workforce attendance, which impacted our operations due to delay and disruption from the lack of availability of critical skills and out-of-sequence work. As of March 31, 2021, our workforce was operating at normal attendance rates.

Under Section 3610 of the CARES Act, contractors may submit claims for employee paid time off caused by restrictions from COVID-19 Events in circumstances where the employee could not work remotely. Such instances may include paid time off for employees to allow for plant decontamination, idle time due to social distancing restrictions, paid time off to take care of dependents impacted by government ordered school or day care closures, and employee quarantines due to travel restrictions or coming into contact, being diagnosed, or taking care of someone diagnosed with COVID-19. We have taken steps to preserve our rights to pursue such claims for HII and our subcontractors, but we have experiencedno assurance that Congress will appropriate sufficient funds to cover the reimbursement of costs contemplated by the CARES Act.

While costs related to COVID-19 Events are allowable under U.S. Government contracts, our contract estimates reflect margin impact uncertainty, because such costs may not result in equitable adjustments, particularly on firm fixed price and fixed price incentive contracts, or may not be adequately covered by insurance. Our reinsurers have failed to acknowledge coverage for various losses related to COVID-19, and we filed a decreasecomplaint in workforce attendance.

While there has been no change in contract terms or substantial degradation in timely payments from customers, we have experienced delays in decisions on certain contract awards. We are unable to predict how our customers will allocate resources in the future as they react to the evolving demands of the COVID-19 response. We have accelerated payments to small business suppliers in an effort to minimize supply chain disruption. To complement these efforts, we took actions to enhance liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet by issuing $1 billion in new senior notes and entering into an incremental $500 million revolving credit facility. We have also decided to temporarily halt stock repurchases and will continue to reassess when to initiate repurchases.

We also deferred certain payroll taxes pursuant to the company, see Part 2, Item 1A “Risk Factors”.CARES Act, which increased our cash from operations in 2020, but will reduce cash from operations in 2021 and 2022.

U.S. Government Contracts - Long-term uncertainty exists with respect to overall levels of defense spending across the future years' defense plan, and it is likely that U.S. Government discretionary spending levels will continue to be subject to significant pressure.

The National Defense Authorization Act,fiscal year 2021 budget cycle ultimately concluded with the passage and enactment of defense authorization and defense appropriations measures. Both pieces of legislation broadly supported shipbuilding programs, including funding and authority for an additional Virginia class submarine, the bundled purchase of LHA 9 (unnamed) with LPD 32 (unnamed) and LPD 33 (unnamed), and long-lead material for an additional Arleigh Burke class (DDG 51) destroyer. The final bills also continued support of the dual purchase of Enterprise (CVN 80) and Doris Miller (CVN 81), as well as appropriations measures that funded the DoD, DoE,Refueling and all other federal agencies, was enacted in December 2019 for fiscal year 2020. While these measures largely supported our individual programs, we cannot predict the potential impact should fiscal year 2020 appropriations be reprioritized or reprogrammed for other purposes by the executive branch. Complex Overhaul of USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74).

Long-term funding for certain programs in which we participate may be reduced, delayed, or canceled. In addition, spending cuts and/or reprioritization of defense investment could adversely affect the viability of our suppliers, subcontractors, and employee base. Our contracts or subcontracts under programs in which we participate may be
21

Table of Contents
terminated or adjusted by the U.S. Government or the prime contractor as a result of lack of government funding or reductions or delays in government funding. Significant reductions in the number of ships procured by the U.S. Navy or significant delays in funding our ship programs would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The budget environment remains a significant long-term risk. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will develop and what challenges budget changes will present for the defense industry. We believe continued budget pressures will have serious implications for defense discretionary spending, the defense industrial base, including us,HII, and the customers, employees, suppliers, subcontractors, investors, and communities that rely on companies in the defense industrial base. Although it is difficult to determine specific impacts, we expect that over the longer term, the budget environment may result in fewer contract awards and lower revenues, profits, and cash flows from our U.S. Government contracts. It is likely budget and program decisions made in this environment will have long-term impacts on usHII and the entire defense industry.

Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments

As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, we consider our policies relating to the following matters to be critical accounting policies:

Revenue recognition;

Purchase accounting, goodwill, and intangible assets;

See Note 2: Basis of Presentation.

Contracts

We generate most of our revenues from long-term U.S. Government contracts for design, production, and support activities. Government contracts typically include the following cost elements: direct material, labor, and subcontracting costs, and certain indirect costs, including allowable general and administrative expenses. Unless otherwise specified in a contract, costs billed to contracts with the U.S. Government are treated as allowable and allocable costs under the Federal Acquisition Regulation ("FAR") and the U.S. Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS") regulations. Examples of costs incurred by us that are not allowable under the FAR and CAS regulations include certain legal costs, lobbying costs, charitable donations, interest expense, and advertising costs.

We monitor our policies and procedures with respect to our contracts on a regular basis to ensure consistent application under similar terms and conditions, as well as compliance with all applicable government regulations. In addition, the Defense Contract Audit Agency routinely audits the costs we incur that are allocated to contracts with the U.S. Government.

Our contracts typically fall into one of four categories: firm fixed-price, fixed-price incentive, cost-type, and time and materials. See Note 8:7: Revenue.

Firm Fixed-Price Contracts - A firm fixed-price contract is a contract in which the specified scope of work is agreed to for a price that is predetermined by bid or negotiation and not generally subject to adjustment regardless of costs incurred by the contractor.

22

Table of Contents
Fixed-Price Incentive Contracts - Fixed-price incentive contracts provide for reimbursement of the contractor's allowable costs, but are subject to a cost-share limit that affects profitability. Fixed-price incentive contracts effectively become firm fixed-price contracts once the cost-share limit is reached.

Cost-Type Contracts - Cost-type contracts provide for reimbursement of the contractor's allowable costs plus a fee that represents profit. Cost-type contracts generally require that the contractor use its reasonable efforts to accomplish the scope of the work within some specified time and some stated dollar limitation.

Time and Materials - Time and materials contracts specify a fixed hourly billing rate for each direct labor hour expended and reimbursement for allowable material costs and expenses.

Contract Fees - Negotiated contract fee structures include: fixed fee amounts, cost sharing arrangements to reward or penalize contractors for under or over cost target performance, respectively, positive award fees, and negative penalty arrangements. Profit margins may vary materially depending on the negotiated contract fee arrangements, percentage-of-completion of the contract, the achievement of performance objectives, and the stage of performance at which the right to receive fees, particularly under incentive and award fee contracts, is finally determined.

Award Fees - Certain contracts contain award fees based on performance criteria such as cost, schedule, quality, and technical performance. Award fees are determined and earned based on an evaluation by the customer of our performance against such negotiated criteria. We consider award fees to be variable consideration and generally include these fees in the transaction price using a most likely amount approach. Award fees are limited to the extent of funding allotted by the customer and available for performance and those amounts for which a significant reversal of revenue is not probable.

Program Descriptions

Operating Performance Assessment and Reporting

We manage and assess the performance of our business based on our performance on individual contracts and programs using the financial measures referred to below, with consideration given to the Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates, and Judgments referred to in this section. Our portfolio of long-term contracts is largely flexibly-priced. Therefore, sales tend to fluctuate in concert with costs across our large portfolio of active contracts, with operating income being a critical measure of operating performance. Under FAR rules that govern our business with
23

Table of Contents
the U.S. Government, most types of costs are allowable, and we do not focus on individual cost groupings, such as cost of sales or general and administrative expenses, as much as we do on total contract costs, which are a key factor in determining contract operating income. As a result, in evaluating our operating performance, we look primarily at changes in sales and service revenues, as well as operating income, including the effects of significant changes in operating income as a result of changes in contract estimates and the use of the cumulative catch-up method of accounting in accordance with GAAP. This approach is consistent with the long-term life cycle of our contracts, as management assesses the bidding of each contract by focusing on net sales and operating profit and monitors performance in a similar manner through contract completion. Consequently, our discussion of business segment performance focuses on net sales and operating profit, consistent with our approach for managing our business.

Cost of sales for both product sales and service revenues consists of materials, labor, and subcontracting costs, as well as an allocation of indirect costs for overhead. We manage the type and amount of costs at the contract level, which is the basis for estimating our total costs at completion of our contracts. Unusual fluctuations in operating performance driven by changes in a specific cost element across multiple contracts are described in our analysis.

Income (Loss) from Operating Investments, Net

The activities of our operating investments are closely aligned with the operations of the segments holding the investments. We therefore record income related to earnings from equity method investments in our operating income.

25

Table of Contents
Income from operating investments, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020, decreased2021, increased $2 million from the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to lowerhigher equity income from our nuclear and environmental joint ventures.

Other Income and Gains

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized a $3 million gain on the sale of our oil and gas business.

General and Administrative Expenses

In accordance with industry practice and the regulations that govern the cost accounting requirements for government contracts, most general and administrative expenses are considered allowable and allocable costs on government contracts. These costs are allocated to contracts in progress on a systematic basis, and contract performance factors include this cost component as an element of cost.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $432021, decreased $8 million from the same period in 2019,2020, primarily driven by higher overhead costs and unfavorablefavorable changes in current state income tax expense.expense and lower overhead costs.

Operating Income

We consider operating income to be an important measure for evaluating our operating performance, and, as is typical in theconsistent with industry practice, we define operating income as revenues less the related cost of producing the revenues and general and administrative expenses.

We internally manage our operations by reference to "segment operating income," which is defined as operating income before the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes, neither of which affects segment performance. Segment operating income is not a recognized measure under GAAP.  When analyzing our operating performance, investors should use segment operating income in addition to, and not as an alternative for, operating income or any other performance measure presented in accordance with GAAP. It is a measure we use to evaluate our core operating performance.  We believe segment operating income reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We believe the measure is used by investors and is a useful indicator to measure our performance. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of segment operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Segment Operating Income

Segment operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, was $191 million, compared with segment operating income of $156 million an increase of $27 million fromfor the same period in 2019.2020. The increase was primarily driven by higher risk retirement on Bougainville (LHA 8) and on Block IV of the Virginia class (SSN 774) submarine program, Richard M.

FAS/CAS Adjustment and Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment

The FAS/CAS Adjustment reflects the difference between expenses for pension and other postretirement benefits determined in accordance with GAAP ("FAS") and the expenses determinedfor these items included in segment operating income in accordance with U.S. Cost Accounting Standards ("CAS"). The Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment excludes the following components of net periodic benefit costs: interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost (credit) and actuarial loss (gain), and settlement and curtailment effects.

Effective January 1, 2021, we adopted the Safe Harbor methodology used in determining CAS pension costs. Under the new methodology, the interest rates used to calculate pension liabilities under CAS are consistent with
those used in the determination of minimum funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

The components of the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment were as follows:

The Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment was a net expense of $40 million and a net benefit of $63 million and $34 million for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. The $29 million favorableunfavorable change in the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment from 2020 to 2021 was primarily driven by the more immediate recognition of lowerhigher interest rates under CAS.

Non-current State Income Taxes

Non-current state income taxes include deferred state income taxes, which reflect the change in deferred state tax assets and liabilities, and the tax expense or benefit associated with changes in state unrecognized tax benefits in the relevant period. These amounts are recorded within operating income. Current period state income tax expense is charged to contract costs and included in cost of sales and service revenues in segment operating income.

Non-current state income tax expense was $4 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020, was $4 million, compared to a non-current state income tax expense of $2 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in non-current state income tax expense was driven by increases in deferred state income tax expense2021 and state uncertain tax positions. The increase in deferred state income tax expense was primarily attributable to changes in the timing of tax depreciation.2020.

Interest Expense

There was no significant change in our interestInterest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, increased $5 million, compared with the same period in 2019.2020, primarily due to interest on senior notes issued in 2020.

Non-Operating Retirement Benefit

The non-operating retirement benefit includes the following components of net periodic benefit costs: interest cost, expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service cost (credit) and actuarial loss (gain), and settlement and curtailment effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, the favorable change in the non-operating retirement benefit of $27$16 million, was primarily driven by higher 20192020 returns on plan assets.

Federal and Foreign Income Taxes

Our effective income tax rates on earnings from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, were 14.5% and 2019, were 20.4%, respectively. The lower effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily attributable to the tax loss associated with the sale of our oil and 20.8%, respectively, whichgas business resulting in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 5.5%.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our effective tax rate differed from the federal statutory tax rate primarily as a result of the tax loss associated with the sale of our oil and gas business. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, our effective tax rate did not differ materially from the federal statutory corporate income tax rate of 21%. See Note 12:11: Income Taxes.

KEY SEGMENT FINANCIAL MEASURES

Sales and Service Revenues

Period-to-period revenues reflect performance under new and ongoing contracts. Changes in sales and service revenues are typically expressed in terms of volume. Unless otherwise described, volume generally refers to increases (or decreases) in reported revenues due to varying production activity levels, delivery rates, or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes will typically carry a corresponding income change based on the margin rate for a particular contract.

Segment Operating Income (Loss)

Segment operating income reflects the aggregate performance results of contracts within a segment. Excluded from this measure are certain costs not directly associated with contract performance, such as the Operating FAS/CAS Adjustment and non-current state income taxes. Changes in segment operating income are typically expressed in
2928

Table of Contents                                        
terms of volume, as discussed above, or performance. Performance refers to changes in contract margin rates. These changes typically relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to estimated costs at completion ("EAC") that reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance on that contract. Operating income changes are accounted for on a cumulative to date basis at the time an EAC change is recorded. Segment operating income may also be affected by, among other things, contract performance, the effects of workforce stoppages, the effects of natural disasters such as hurricanes, resolution of disputed items with the customer, recovery of insurance proceeds, and other discrete events. At the completion of a long-term contract, any originally estimated costs not incurred or reserves not fully utilized, such as warranty reserves, could also impact contract earnings. Where such items have occurred and the effects are material, a separate description is provided.

Cash Flows

We discuss below our major operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, as classified on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, was $68$43 million, compared with $11$68 million provided by operating activities for the same period in 2019.2020. The favorableunfavorable change in operating cash flow was primarily due to higher netcontributions to retiree benefit plans, partially offset by a federal income tax refund and changes in trade working capital, partially offset by higher contributions to retiree benefit plans.capital. The change in trade working capital was primarily driven by the timing of receipts of accounts receivable and payments of accounts payable.

Table of Contents

For the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, we made discretionary contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans totaling $20$60 million, compared with $1$20 million of discretionary contributions for the same period in 2019. For the year ending December2020. As of March 31, 2020,2021, we expectanticipate no further significant cash contributions to our qualified defined benefit pension plans to be $205 million, all of which will be discretionary.in 2021.

We expect cash generated from operations in combination with our current cash and cash equivalents, as well as existing credit facilities, to be more than sufficient to service debt and retiree benefit plans, meet contractual obligations, and finance capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, was $444$46 million, compared with $269$444 million used in investing activities for the same period in 2019.2020. The change in investing cash used was driven by the acquisition of Hydroid in 2020, disposition of our oil and gas business in 2021, and lower capital expenditures in 2021, partially offset by the acquisition of Fulcruma non-controlling interest in 2019 and lower capital expendituresTitan in 2020.2021. For March 31, 2020,2021, we expect our capital expenditures for maintenance and sustainment to be approximately 1.0% of annual revenues and our discretionary capital expenditures to be approximately 3.0%2.0 % to 4.0%3.0% of annual revenues.

Financing Activities

Cash provided byused in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, was $329$102 million, compared with $69$329 million provided by financing activities for the same period in 2019.2020. The change in financing cash was primarily due to an increase of $168 million ofa decrease in net proceeds from revolving credit facility borrowings $88of $380 million, a decrease of net proceeds from issuances of commercial paper of $88 million, and a $4 million increase in cash dividend payments, partially offset by a decrease of $35 million from common stock repurchases and a decrease of $10$6 million in employee taxes on certain share-based payment arrangements, partially offset by a $6 million increase in cash dividend payments.arrangements.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow represents cash provided by (used in) operating activities less capital expenditures net of related grant proceeds. Free cash flow is not a measure recognized under GAAP. Free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for our investors because it provides them insight into our current and period-to-period performance and our ability to generate cash from continuing operations. We also use free cash flow as a key operating metric in assessing the performance of our business and as a key performance measure in evaluating management performance and determining incentive compensation. Free cash flow may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The following table reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to free cash flow:

Free cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2020, increased $652021, decreased $18 million from the same period in 2019,2020, primarily due to higher netcontributions to retiree benefit plans, partially offset by a federal income tax refund, changes in trade working capital, and lower capital expenditures, partially offset by higher contributions to retiree benefit plans.expenditures.

Governmental Regulation and Supervision

The U.S. Government has the ability, pursuant to regulations relating to contractor business systems, to decrease or withhold contract payments if it determines significant deficiencies exist in one or more such systems. As of March

Other Sources and Uses of Capital

Additional Capital - In the second quarter of 2020, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of unregistered 3.844% senior notes due 2025 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of unregistered 4.200% senior notes due 2030, both with registration rights. The net proceeds are intended to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include debt repayments and working capital. Interest on these senior notes is payable semiannually.

In the second quarter of 2020, we also entered into the 364-Day Facility. The 364-Day Facility includes a revolving credit facility of $500 million, which may be drawn upon during a period of 364 days from April 3, 2020. The revolving credit facility has a variable interest rate on outstanding borrowings based on the LIBOR plus a spread based upon our credit rating, which may vary between 2.000% and 2.375%. The revolving credit facility also has a commitment fee rate of 0.50%.

The 364-Day Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as a financial covenant based on a maximum total leverage ratio. Each of our existing and future material wholly owned domestic subsidiaries, except those that are specifically designated as unrestricted subsidiaries, are and will be guarantors under the 364-Day Facility.

The 364-Day Facility and the issuance of new senior notes provide us with substantial additional liquidity and flexibility given the unpredictable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we use standby letters of credit issued by commercial banks to support certain leases, insurance policies, and contractual performance obligations, as well as surety bonds issued by insurance companies principally to support our self-insured workers' compensation plans. As of March 31, 2020, we had $162021, $15 million in letters of credit were issued but undrawn letters of credit and $272 million of surety bonds were outstanding. As of March 31, 2021, we had no other significant off-balance sheet arrangements.

We are exposed to market risk, primarily related to interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rates - Our financial instruments subject to interest rate risk include issuances of commercial paper and floating rate borrowings under our credit facilities.facility. As of March 31, 2020, we had $380 million of floating rate debt outstanding under2021, our $1,250 million revolving credit facility and $88 million of outstanding commercial paper. Based on the amounts of outstanding variable rate debt as of March 31, 2020, an increase of 1% in interest rates would increase the interest expense on our debt by approximately $5 million on an annual basis.was undrawn.

Foreign Currency - We currently have, and in the future may enter into, foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to payments to suppliers denominated in foreign currencies. As of March 31, 2020,2021, the fair values of our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were not significant.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as of March 31, 2020.2021. Based on that evaluation, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2020,2021, the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management to allow their timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended March 31, 2020,2021, no change occurred in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

While the COVID-19 pandemic has not materially impacted internal control over financial reporting, management continues to monitor our operations, the operations of our customers and corporate partners, and government recommendations, including implementing liberal leave and work from home policies to protect our employees. Management will continue to monitor and modify internal control over financial reporting as appropriate under these circumstances.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

We have provided information about legal proceedings in which we are involved in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. In addition to the matters disclosed in Part I, Item 1, we are a party to various investigations, lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Based on information available to us, we do not believe at this time that any of such other matters will individually, or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. For further information on the risks we face from existing and future investigations, lawsuits, claims, and other legal proceedings, please see "Risk Factors" in Item 1A below.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10–Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A Risk Factors in the 20192020 Form 10–K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition,or future results. The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened, and in some cases manifested, certain of the risks we normally face in operating our business, including those disclosed in the 2019
Form 10-K, and the risk factor disclosure in the Form 10-K is qualified by the information relating to COVID-19
included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the new risk factor set forth below. There have been no other material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in the 20192020 Form 10-K.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, which may have material adverse effects on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

We face various risks related to health epidemics, pandemics and similar outbreaks, including the global outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”). Such risks include disruptions or restrictions on our employees’ ability to work effectively, as well as temporary closures of our facilities or the facilities of our customers or suppliers. We have recently experienced higher employee absentee rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but we are unable at this time to determine the impacts on our operations or financial results. Higher absentee rates attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, will likely impact performance on our contracts and increase our costs. These cost increases may not be fully recoverable under our contracts or adequately covered by insurance, which could impact our profitability.

It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could also further cause disruption in our supply chain; cause delay, or limit the ability of, the U.S. Government and other customers to perform, including in making timely payments to us; impact investment performance; and cause other unpredictable events. In addition, the continued spread of COVID-19 has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital.

We continue to work with our stakeholders (including customers, employees, suppliers and local communities) to address responsibly this global pandemic. We continue to monitor the situation, to assess further possible implications to our business, supply chain and customers, and to take actions in an effort to mitigate adverse consequences.

The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our business, results of operations and financial condition is highly uncertain and will depend upon future developments. As a result, we cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.
