BWX Technologies Inc

We operate in two reportable segments: Government Operations and Commercial Operations. For financial information regarding each of our segments and financial information regarding geographic areas, see Note 15 and Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report. For further details regarding each segment's facilities, see Item 2 of this Report. In general, we operate in capital-intensive industries and rely on large contracts for a substantial amount of our revenues. We are currently exploring growth strategies across our segments through strategic investments and acquisitions to expand and complement our existing businesses. We would expect to fund these opportunities with cash generated from operations or by raising additional capital through debt, equity or some combination thereof.

Through this segment, we engineer, design and manufacture precision naval nuclear components, reactors and nuclear fuel for the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE")/National Nuclear Security Administration's ("NNSA") Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. In addition, we supply proprietary and sole-source valves, manifolds and fittings to global naval and commercial shipping customers.

Our Government Operations segment specializes in the design and manufacture of close-tolerance and high-quality equipment for nuclear applications. In addition, we are a leading manufacturer of critical nuclear components, fuels and assemblies for government and limited other uses. We have supplied nuclear components for DOE programs since the 1950s and are the largest domestic supplier of research reactor fuel elements for colleges, universities and national laboratories. We also downblend Cold War-era government stockpiles of high-enriched uranium. In addition, we have over 100 years of experience in supplying components for defense applications.

We work closely with the DOE-supported nuclear non-proliferation program. Currently, this program is assisting in the development of a high-density, low-enriched uranium fuel required for high-enriched uranium test reactor conversions. We have also been a leader in the receipt, storage, characterization, dissolution, recovery and purification of a variety of uranium-bearing materials. All phases of uranium downblending and uranium recovery are performed at our Lynchburg, Virginia and Erwin, Tennessee sites.

The demand for nuclear components by the U.S. Government determines a substantial portion of this segment's backlog. We expect that orders for nuclear components will continue to be a significant part of backlog for the foreseeable future. In March 2023, the U.S. Navy issued its 30-year shipbuilding plan containing three alternative procurement profiles based upon varied funding assumptions. All three indicate growth in the total number of ships and a sustained, or increased, procurement profile for nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers. We plan to make additional capital expenditures and investments in personnel to meet the current demand requirements, and we expect to continue making such expenditures and investments in the future.

This segment also provides various services to the U.S. Government by managing and operating high-consequence operations at U.S. nuclear weapons sites, national laboratories and manufacturing complexes. The revenues and equity in income of investees under these types of contracts are largely a function of spending by the U.S. Government and the performance scores we and our consortium partners earn in managing and operating these sites. With our specialized capabilities of full life-cycle management of special materials, facilities and technologies, we believe that we are well-positioned to continue participating in the ongoing cleanup, operation and management of critical government-owned nuclear sites, laboratories and manufacturing complexes maintained by the DOE, NASA and other federal agencies.

The Government Operations segment is also a leader in the development of advanced nuclear reactors for a variety of power and propulsion applications in the space and terrestrial domains. U.S. Government customers for these applications include NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") and the DOE. We offer complete advanced nuclear fuel and reactor design and engineering, licensing and manufacturing services for these programs.

Through this segment, we design and manufacture commercial nuclear steam generators, heat exchangers, pressure vessels, reactor components and other auxiliary equipment, including containers for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level nuclear waste. We have supplied the nuclear industry with more than 1,300 large, heavy components worldwide and are the only commercial heavy nuclear component manufacturer in North America. This segment is also a leading supplier of nuclear fuel, fuel handling systems, tooling delivery systems, nuclear-grade materials and precisely machined components, and related services for CANDU nuclear power plants. This segment also provides a variety of engineering and in-plant services and is a significant supplier to nuclear power utilities undergoing major refurbishment and plant life extension projects. Our in-depth knowledge comes from over 50 years of experience in the design, manufacturing, commissioning and service of nuclear power generation equipment.

Our Commercial Operations segment specializes in performing full-scope, prototype design work coupled with manufacturing integration. This segment's capabilities include:

•steam generation and separation equipment design and development;

•thermal-hydraulic design of reactor plant components;

•in-plant inspection, maintenance and modification services;

•nuclear component modification and replacement;

•commercial nuclear fuel manufacturing and design;

•nuclear fuel handling system design, manufacturing, delivery, installation and commissioning;

•containers for the storage of spent nuclear fuel and other high-level waste;

•structural and thermal-hydraulic design and vibration analysis for heat exchangers;

•structural component design for precision manufacturing;

•materials expertise in high-strength, low-alloy steels and nickel-based materials;

•material procurement of tubing, forgings and weld wire; and

•metallographic and chemical analysis.

This segment also manufactures and supplies products for diagnostic imaging and radiotherapeutic treatments and is a partner for contract development and manufacturing services for life science and pharmaceutical companies. Among its offerings is the manufacture of medical radioisotopes, radiopharmaceuticals and medical devices, as well as partnerships with life science and pharmaceutical companies developing new drugs.

Our Commercial Operations segment's overall activity primarily depends on the demand and competitiveness of nuclear energy and the demand for critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals. A significant portion of our Commercial Operations segment's operations depends on the timing of maintenance outages and the cyclical nature of capital expenditures and major refurbishments for nuclear utility customers, principally in the Canadian market, which could cause variability in our financial results.

Acquisitions

Acquisition of Dynamic Controls Limited and Citadel Capital Corporation

On April 11, 2022, our subsidiary BWXT Government Group, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding stock of U.K.-based Dynamic Controls Limited ("Dynamic") and U.S.-based Citadel Capital Corporation, along with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cunico Corporation ("Cunico"). Dynamic and Cunico are suppliers of highly-engineered, proprietary valves, manifolds and fittings for global naval nuclear and diesel-electric submarines, surface warfare ships and commercial shipping vessels. These companies are reported as part of our Government Operations segment.

See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in this Report for additional information on acquisitions.
