# HII Reports Naval Program Growth

HII reported third-quarter sales of $3.5 billion, up 11%, and net income of $217 million, up 50%. The company attributed the results in part to shipbuilding sales, profit on the Virginia-class attack submarine program, and progress in unmanned maritime systems. The results signal continued industrial activity in these defense areas, but do not announce a new procurement or contract award.

- Shipbuilding suppliers and companies supporting unmanned maritime systems can use HII’s reported results as an indicator of activity in these defense markets; the signal provides no specific solicitation or award to pursue.
- Procurement teams and contractors should distinguish this financial update from a contract announcement: it does not provide new contract values, award dates, or solicitation details.
