BWX TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 20182019
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We have presented the condensed consolidated financial statements of BWX Technologies, Inc. ("BWXT" or the "Company") in U.S. dollars in accordance with the interim reporting requirements of Form 10-Q, Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Certain financial information and disclosures normally included in our financial statements prepared annually in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Readers of these financial statements should, therefore, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (our "2017"2018 10-K"). We have included all adjustments, in the opinion of management, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation.
We use the equity method to account for investments in entities that we do not control, but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence. We generally refer to these entities as "joint ventures." We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and accounts. We have reclassified certain amounts previously reported to conform to the presentation at March 31, 20182019 and for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 primarily related to recently adoptedthe adoption of new accounting standards. We present the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements on the basis of continuing operations, unless otherwise stated.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, "we," "us" and "our" mean BWXT and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Reportable Segments
We operate in three reportable segments: Nuclear Operations Group, Nuclear ServicesPower Group and Nuclear PowerServices Group. Our reportable segments are further described as follows:
Our Nuclear Operations Group segment manufactures naval nuclear reactors for the Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program for use in U.S. Navy submarines and aircraft carriers. Through this segment, we own and operate manufacturing facilities located in Lynchburg, Virginia; Barberton, Ohio; Mount Vernon, Indiana; Euclid, Ohio; and Erwin, Tennessee.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.2019. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and the related footnotesnotes included in our 20172018 10-K.
AcquisitionRecently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the FASB issued an update to the Topic Leases, which supersedes the lease reporting requirements in Topic Leases (previously "FAS 13"). This update requires that a lessee recognize on its balance sheets the assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of Sotera Health LLC's Nordion Medical Isotope Business
On April 17, 2018,more than 12 months, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. We adopted this update on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective method, which resulted in the recognition of right-of-use assets totaling $45.1 million and lease liabilities totaling $11.9 million. The difference between the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $33.2 million was primarily the result of reclassifications of favorable leases related to recent acquisitions from Intangible Assets. In addition, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Sotera Health LLC's Nordion medical isotope business. Nordion's medical radioisotopes business is a leading global manufacturer and supplierelected the package of critical medical isotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for research, diagnostic and therapeutic uses. Its customers include radiopharmaceutical companies, hospitals and radiopharmacies. Its primary operations are located in Kanata, Ontario and Vancouver, British Columbia. This acquisition will allowpractical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to acceleratecarry forward our entry into the medical radioisotope market by adding licensed infrastructure, approximately 150 highly trained and experienced personnel and two production centers. Subject to required Canadian and U.S. regulatory reviews and approvals, this transaction is expected to close by the end of 2018.
Deconsolidation of Generation mPower LLC
On March 2, 2016, we entered into a framework agreement with Bechtel Power Corporation ("Bechtel"), BWXT Modular Reactors, LLC and BDC NexGen Power, LLC for the potential restructuring and restart of our mPower small modular reactor program (the "Framework Agreement"). As a result of entering into the Framework Agreement, we deconsolidated Generation mPower LLC ("GmP") from our financial statements ashistorical lease classifications, among other things. The adoption of the dateprovisions in this update did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated statements of the Framework Agreement and recognized a $30.0 million loss contingency, which was ultimately paid to Bechtel in the first quarter of 2017 following the receipt of Bechtel's notice that the mPower program would not be restarted.income or cash flows.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
We generally recognize contract revenues and related costs over time for individual performance obligations based on a cost-to-cost method in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We recognize estimated contract revenue and resulting income based on the measurement of the extent of progress toward completion as a percentage of the total project (percentage-of-completion basis).project. Certain costs may be excluded from the cost-to-cost method of measuring progress, such as significant costs for uninstalled materials, if such costs do not depict our performance in transferring control of goods or services to the customer. We review contract price and cost estimates periodically as the work progresses and reflect adjustments proportionate to the percentage-of-completion in income in the period when those estimates are revised. Certain of our contracts recognize revenue at a point in time, and revenue on these contracts is recognized when control transfers to the customer. The majority of our revenue that is recognized at a point in time is related to parts and certain medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals in our Nuclear Power Group segment. For all contracts, if a current estimate of total contract cost indicates a loss on a contract, the projected loss is recognized in full when determined.

On January 1, 2019, certain of our joint ventures within our Nuclear Services Group segment adopted the provisions of FASB Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This resulted in a decrease to Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates of $1.1 million with an offsetting decrease to Retained earnings on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Warranty ExpenseLeases
We accrue estimated expense,lease certain manufacturing facilities, office space and equipment under operating leases with terms of one to 20 years. Certain of the leases include options to renew for periods of one to 10 years. We include lease options in our determination of the right-of-use asset and lease liability if it is reasonably certain that we will exercise one or more of the options. Leases with initial terms of 12 months or less are excluded from our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Our right-of-use assets are included in CostOther Assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. Our current lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities – other, and our noncurrent lease liabilities are included in Other Liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. We use discount rates based on our incremental borrowing rate as most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate that can be readily determined.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recognized lease expense of $2.1 million and paid cash of $1.7 million for our operating leases. At March 31, 2019, our weighted-average remaining lease term was 4.0 years, and for the purpose of measuring the present value of our lease liabilities, the weighted-average discount rate was 5.03%. The maturities of our lease liabilities at March 31, 2019 were as follows (amounts in thousands):

Derivative Financial Instruments
Our operations give rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange ("FX") rates. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily FX forward contracts, to reduce the impact of changes in FX rates on our operating results. We use these instruments to hedge our exposure associated with revenues or costs on our long-term contracts and other transactions that are denominated in currencies other than our operating entities' functional currencies. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
We enter into derivative financial instruments primarily as hedges of certain firm purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. We record these contracts at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on the hedge designation at the inception of the contract, the related gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in stockholders' equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as a hedging instrument is immediately recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that require immediate recognition are included as a component of Other – net on our condensed consolidated statements of income,income.
We have designated the majority of our FX forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to satisfy contractual warranty requirements whenchanges in FX spot rates of forecasted transactions primarily related to long-term contracts. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the FX forward contracts attributable to the difference between FX spot rates and FX forward rates. At March 31, 2019, we had deferred approximately $0.2 million of net gains on these derivative financial instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Assuming market conditions continue, we expect to recognize the associated revenue on the related contracts. In addition, we record specific provisions or reductions where we expect the actual warranty costs to significantly differ from the accrued estimates. Such changes could have a material effect on our consolidated financial condition, resultsmajority of operations and cash flows.
The following summarizes the changesthis amount in the carrying amountnext 12 months.
At March 31, 2019, our derivative financial instruments consisted of FX forward contracts with a total notional value of $73.5 million with maturities extending to December 2021. These instruments consist primarily of FX forward contracts to

purchase or sell Canadian dollars. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. We attempt to mitigate this risk by using major financial institutions with high credit ratings. Our counterparties to derivative financial instruments have the benefit of the same collateral arrangements and covenants as described under our Accrued warranty expense:

Provision for Income Taxes
We are subject to federal income tax in the U.S. and Canada as well as income tax within multiple U.S. state jurisdictions. We provide for income taxes based on the enacted tax laws and rates in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our operations. These jurisdictions may have regimes of taxation that vary with respect to nominal rates and with respect to the basis on which these rates are applied. This variation, along with the changes in our mix of income within these jurisdictions, can contribute to shifts in our effective tax rate from period to period.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was enacted, making significant changes to existing U.S. tax laws that impact BWXT, including, but not limited to, a reduction to the U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the taxation of global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") and additional deduction limitations related to executive compensation. We recognized the income tax effects of the Act within our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with FASB Topic Income Taxes. Our Canadian operations continue to be subject to tax at a local statutory rate of approximately 25%.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 20182019 was 21.9% as compared to 30.6%21.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.2018. The effective tax raterates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 waswere slightly higher than the U.S. corporate income tax rate of 21% primarily due to state income taxes within the U.S. and the unfavorable rate differential associated with our Canadian earnings. Our effective tax raterates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and March 31, 2017 waswere favorably impacted by benefits recognized for excess tax benefits related to employee share-based payments of $2.2$1.7 million and $2.3$2.2 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2018,2019, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits of $1.7$0.3 million (exclusive of interest and federal and state benefits), all of which would reduce our effective tax rate if recognized.

Recently Adopted Accounting StandardsNOTE 2 – ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition of Sotera Health LLC's Nordion Medical Isotope Business
On July 30, 2018, our subsidiary BWXT ITG Canada, Inc. acquired Sotera Health's Nordion medical isotope business (the "MI business") for $213.0 million. The MI business is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for research, diagnostic and therapeutic uses. Its customers include radiopharmaceutical companies, hospitals and radiopharmacies. Its primary operations are located in Kanata, Ontario, Canada and Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. This acquisition added approximately 150 highly trained and experienced personnel, two specialized production centers and a uniquely licensed infrastructure. In May 2014, the FASB issued the Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in the Topic Revenue Recognition and most industry specific guidance. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The guidance also outlines a five-step model whereby revenue is recognized as performance obligations within a contract are satisfied, as well as new, expanded disclosures. We adopted the new revenue recognition standard on January 1, 2018 for all of our contracts utilizing the modified retrospective method resulting in changes to our opening balance sheet that were recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment. See Note 2 for further information regarding revenue recognition and our adoption of the new revenue standard.
In October 2016, the FASB issued an updateaddition to the Topic Statementgrowing portfolio of Cash Flows. radioisotope products we acquired, the MI business will be the platform from which we plan to launch our Molybdenum-99 product line and a number of future radioisotope-based imaging, diagnostic and therapeutic products. This update clarifies guidance on the classification and presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and cash equivalents will now be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period totals shown on the statement of cash flows. In addition, a reconciliation between the amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalentsbusiness is reported in the balance sheets and the statement of cash flows is now required. We adopted this update on January 1, 2018 with retrospective application. This update resulted in an increase to cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents of $9.0 million and $8.8 million at December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, respectively. This update did not otherwise have a material impact on our financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued an update to the Topic Compensation – Retirement Benefits. This update amends the presentation requirements of the components of net periodic benefit cost related to defined benefit pension and postretirement plans in our consolidated statements of income. Previously, components of net periodic benefit cost were aggregated and reported net in the consolidated statements of income as part of operating income. This update requires entities to disaggregateour Nuclear Power Group segment.

Within our Nuclear Operations Group segment, we continue to recognize revenue over time, and now measure progress on performance obligations using a cost-to-cost method. Historically, we utilized man-hours or a cost-to-cost method to measure progress on certain performance obligations within this segment. The performance obligations identified for recognizing revenue are similar to our historical units of account. As a result of the change to a cost-to-cost method, the timing of revenue recognition on affected contracts, in the aggregate, results in the recognition of revenue and cost of operations earlier in the process of satisfying performance obligations. This change impacted the life-to-date revenue and costs of operations recognized on performance obligations, and the adjustment to capture the impact of the new revenue recognition standard was recorded as a cumulative catch-up adjustment in Retained earnings. The new standard also resulted in a reduction in both our Contracts in progress and Advance billings on contracts account balances as a result of measuring the asset and liability at the contract level. Historically, contract assets and liabilities were measured at the unit of account, which we concluded was at a lower level than that of the contract.
The impact of the adoption of the new revenue standard on our Nuclear Power Group and Nuclear Services Group segments was not material.
Contracts and Revenue Recognition
Nuclear Operations Group
Our Nuclear Operations Group segment recognizes revenue over time for the manufacturing of naval nuclear reactor components and fuel, submarine missile launch tubes and the downblending of high-enriched uranium. Certain of our contracts contain two or more different types of components, each of which we identify as a separate performance obligation. We recognize revenue using a cost-to-cost method to measure progress as control is continually transferred to the customer as we incur costs on the performance obligations. We allocate revenue to the individual performance obligations within contracts with multiple performance obligations based on the stand-alone selling price of the individual performance obligations.
Our fixed-price incentive fee contracts include incentives that we concluded to be variable consideration. The amount of the variable consideration to which we are entitled is dependent on our actual costs incurred on the performance obligation compared to the target costs for that performance obligation and subject to incentive price revisions included within the contracts. We include these incentive fees in revenue when there is sufficient evidence to determine that the variable consideration is not constrained. The remaining contracts typically have immaterial amounts of variable consideration and have a single performance obligation. Our estimates of variable consideration and total estimated costs at completion are determined through a detailed process based on historical performance and our expertise using the most likely method. Variations from estimated contract performance could result in a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations in future periods.
Our Nuclear Operations Group segment's contracts allow for billings as costs are incurred, subject to certain retainages on our fixed-price incentive fee contracts, that require milestones to be reached for the remaining consideration to be paid.

Nuclear Services Group
Our contracts within our Nuclear Services Group segment are primarily cost-plus service contracts on which we recognize revenue over time based on a cost-to-cost method, which is consistent with the structure of the billings associated with these contracts. Ownership continuously transfers to the customer as we perform the services. The contracts within this segment do not contain significant variable consideration and contain a single performance obligation. Certain of these contracts contain assurance warranties and/or provisions for liquidated damages, which are expected to have an immaterial impact on the contracts based on our historical experience.
Nuclear Power Group
Our Nuclear Power Group segment recognizes revenue over time using a cost-to-cost method for the manufacturing of large components, non-standard parts, fuel bundles and service contracts as control continually transfers to the customers. For standard parts, revenue is recognized at the point in time control transfers to the customer, which is consistent with the transfer of ownership. This segment generates revenue primarily from firm-fixed-price contracts that do not contain variable consideration as well as time-and-materials based contracts. Certain of these contracts contain assurance warranties and/or provisions for liquidated damages, which are expected to have an immaterial impact to the contracts based on our historical experience. We are entitled to payment on the majority of our Nuclear Power Group segment contracts when we achieve certain milestones related to our progress on the contract.

Performance Obligations
As we progress on our contracts and the underlying performance obligations for which we recognize revenue over time, we refine our estimates of variable consideration and total estimated costs at completion, which impact the overall profitability on our contracts and performance obligations. Changes in these estimates result in the recognition of cumulative catch-up adjustments that impact our revenuerevenues and/or costs of contracts. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recognized net favorable changes in estimates that resulted in an increaseincreases in revenuerevenues of $4.8 million and $5.3 million.million, respectively.

Contract Assets and Liabilities
We include revenues and related costs incurred, plus accumulated contract costs that exceed amounts invoiced to customers under the terms of the contracts, in Contracts in progress. We include in Advance billings on contracts billings that exceed accumulated contract costs and revenues and costs recognized over time. Amounts that are withheld on our fixed-price incentive fee contracts are classified within Retainages. Certain of these amounts require conditions other than the passage of time to be achieved, with the remaining amounts only requiring the passage of time. Most long-term contracts contain provisions for progress payments. Our unbilled receivables do not contain an allowance for credit losses as we expect to invoice customers and collect all amounts for unbilled revenues. Changes in Contracts in progress and Advance billings on contracts are primarily driven by differences in the timing of revenue recognition and billings to our customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2018,2019, our unbilled receivables increased $75.4$33.1 million, primarily as a result of revenue in excess of billings on certain firm-fixed-pricefixed-price incentive fee contracts within our Nuclear Operations Group segment and the timing of milestone payments on large componentsservices and engineering contracts started in 2018 within our Nuclear Power Group segment. Our fixed-price incentive fee contracts for our Nuclear Operations Group segment include provisions that result in an increase in retainages on contracts during the first and third quarters of the year, with larger payments made during the second and fourth quarters. Retainages also vary as a result of timing differences between incurring costs and achieving milestones that allow us to recover these amounts. This resulted in an increase in retainages on contracts from January 1 toduring the three months ended March 31, 20182019 as shown below:

Historical Method
Prior to the adoption of FASB Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we accounted for revenue under previous GAAP. In accordance with our adoption of the new revenue recognition standard utilizing the modified retrospective approach, we are required to disclose the impact on our financial statements on a line item basis.

Investigations and Litigation
Apollo and Parks Township
In January 2010, Michelle McMunn, Cara D. Steele and Yvonne Sue Robinson filed suit against Babcock & Wilcox Power Generation Group, Inc. ("B&W PGG"), Babcock & Wilcox Technical Services Group, Inc., formerly known as B&W Nuclear Environmental Services, Inc. and now known as BWXT Technical Services Group, Inc. (the "BWXT Parties") and Atlantic Richfield Company ("ARCO") in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. Since January 2010, additional suits were filed by additional plaintiffs and there are currently 17 lawsuits pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the "Trial Court") against the BWXT Parties and ARCO, including the most recent lawsuits filed in June and October 2015. In total, the suits involve approximately 107 primary claimants. The primary claimants allege, among other things, personal injuries and property damage as a result of alleged releases of radioactive material relating to the operation, remediation and/or decommissioning of two former nuclear fuel processing facilities located in the Borough of Apollo and Parks Township, Pennsylvania (collectively, the "Apollo and Parks Litigation"). Those facilities previously were owned by Nuclear Materials and Equipment Company, a former subsidiary of ARCO ("NUMEC"), which was acquired by B&W PGG. The plaintiffs in the Apollo and Parks Litigation seek compensatory and punitive damages, and in November 2014 delivered a demand of $125.0 million for the settlement of all then-filed actions. While we consider the likelihood of the plaintiffs' recovery to be remote, solely on the basis of this demand we estimate the range of a possible loss at between $0.0 million and $125.0 million. In connection with the spin-off of our former Power Generation business, we agreed to indemnify B&W PGG and its affiliates for any losses arising from the Apollo and Parks Litigation pursuant to the Master Separation Agreement.
Between May 2015 and March 2016, the presiding judge in the Apollo and Parks Litigation granted the BWXT Parties' motions to dismiss or motions for summary judgment in all 17 of the existing lawsuits. Accordingly, all current claims in the Apollo and Parks Litigation have been dismissed by the Trial Court. All plaintiffs filed notices of appeal, and the appeals were consolidated in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the "Court of Appeals"). On August 23, 2017, the Court of Appeals affirmed the rulings of the Trial Court, dismissing all claims against the BWXT Parties and other defendants in the cases. Plaintiffs filed a notice of petition for rehearing, which was denied by the Court of Appeals on September 21, 2017. The plaintiffs filed a writ of certiorari for review by the U.S. Supreme Court on December 20, 2017. On February 20, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court denied plaintiffs' petition for writ of certiorari making the Court of Appeals decision affirming the dismissal of all 17 lawsuits final.
At the time of ARCO's sale of NUMEC stock to B&W PGG, B&W PGG received an indemnity and hold harmless agreement from ARCO, which has been assigned to BWXT and its affiliates, with respect to claims and liabilities arising prior to or as a result of conduct or events predating the acquisition.

The ARCO indemnity remains applicable should any future claims similar in nature to the Apollo and Parks Litigation be made, although no assurance can be given that the indemnity will be available or sufficient in the event of liability, if any.
NOTE 5 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our operations give rise to exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange ("FX") rates. We use derivative financial instruments, primarily FX forward contracts, to reduce the impact of changes in FX rates on our operating results. We use these instruments primarily to hedge our exposure associated with revenues or costs on our long-term contracts that are denominated in currencies other than our operating entities' functional currencies. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
We enter into derivative financial instruments primarily as hedges of certain firm purchase and sale commitments denominated in foreign currencies. We record these contracts at fair value on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Based on the hedge designation at the inception of the contract, the related gains and losses on these contracts are deferred in stockholders' equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. Any ineffective portion of a derivative's change in fair value and any portion excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are immediately recognized in Other – net in our condensed consolidated statements of income. The gain or loss on a derivative instrument not designated as a hedging instrument is also immediately recognized in earnings. Gains and losses on derivative financial instruments that require immediate recognition are included as a component of Other – net in our condensed consolidated statements of income.
We have designated all of our FX forward contracts that qualify for hedge accounting as cash flow hedges. The hedged risk is the risk of changes in functional-currency-equivalent cash flows attributable to changes in FX spot rates of forecasted transactions related to long-term contracts. We exclude from our assessment of effectiveness the portion of the fair value of the FX forward contracts attributable to the difference between FX spot rates and FX forward rates. At March 31, 2018, we had deferred approximately $0.4 million of net gains on these derivative financial instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive income. Assuming market conditions continue, we expect to recognize the majority of this amount in the next 12 months.
At March 31, 2018, our derivative financial instruments consisted of FX forward contracts. The notional value of our FX forward contracts totaled $31.6 million at March 31, 2018, with maturities extending to December 2021. These instruments consist primarily of contracts to purchase or sell Canadian dollars. We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments. We attempt to mitigate this risk by using major financial institutions with high credit ratings. The counterparties to all of our FX forward contracts are financial institutions included in our credit facility. Our hedge counterparties have the benefit of the same collateral arrangements and covenants as described under our credit facility.

We estimate the fair value of investments based on quoted market prices. For investments for which there are no quoted market prices, we derive fair values from available yield curves for investments of similar quality and terms.
Derivatives
Level 2 derivative assets and liabilities currently consist of FX forward contracts. Where applicable, the value of these derivative assets and liabilities is computed by discounting the projected future cash flow amounts to present value using market-based observable inputs, including FX forward and spot rates, interest rates and counterparty performance risk

adjustments. At March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, we had forward contracts outstanding to purchase or sell foreign currencies, primarily Canadian dollars, with a total fair value of $0.6$(0.2) million and $0.3$0.7 million, respectively.
Other Financial Instruments
We used the following methods and assumptions in estimating our fair value disclosures for our other financial instruments, as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents. The carrying amounts that we have reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values due to their highly liquid nature.
Long-term and short-term debt. We base the fair values of debt instruments, including our 5.375% senior notes due 2026 (the "Senior Notes"), on quoted market prices. Where quoted prices are not available, we base the fair values on the present value of future cash flows discounted at estimated borrowing rates for similar debt instruments or on estimated prices based on current yields for debt issues of similar quality and terms. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair value of our Senior Notes was $406.2 million and $384.9 million, respectively. The fair value of our remaining debt instruments approximated their carrying valuevalues at March 31, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018.
NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation recognized for all of our plans for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and 2017 totaled $4.9$3.6 million and $4.7$4.9 million, respectively, with associated tax benefit totaling $0.9$0.6 million and $1.6$0.9 million, respectively.

Item 2.MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The following information should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included under Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q ("Report") and the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes and Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20172018 (our "2017"2018 10-K").
In this Report, unless the context otherwise indicates, "we," "us" and "our" mean BWX Technologies, Inc. ("BWXT" or the "Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries.
From time to time, our management or persons acting on our behalf make forward-looking statements to inform existing and potential security holders about our company. In addition, variousCompany. Forward-looking statements in this Report, includinginclude those statements that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.Act. Statements and assumptions regarding expectations and projections of specific projects, our future backlog, revenues, income and capital spending, strategic investments, acquisitions or divestitures, research and development initiatives, return onof capital activities or margin improvement initiatives are examples of forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as "estimate," "project," "predict," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "plan," "seek," "goal," "could," "intend," "may," "should" or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. In addition, sometimes we will specifically describe a statement as being a forward-looking statement and refer to this cautionary statement.
We have based our forward-looking statements on information currently available to us and our current expectations, estimates and projections about our industries and our company.Company. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and you should not rely unduly on them as they involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. While our management considers these statements and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties,numerous factors, including potentially the risk factors described in the section labeled Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our 2018 10-K, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in our forward-looking statements.
We believe the items we have outlined above are important factors that could cause estimates in our financial statements to differ materially from actual results and those expressed in a forward-looking statement made in this Report or elsewhere by us or on our behalf. Differences between actual results and any future performance suggested in our forward-looking statements could result from a variety of factors. We have discussed many of these factors in more detail elsewhere in this Report and in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 20172018 10-K. These factors are not necessarily all the factors that could affect us. Unpredictable or unanticipated factors we have not discussed in this Report or in our 20172018 10-K could also have material adverse effects on actual results of matters that are the subject of our forward-looking statements. We do not intend to update or review any forward-looking statement or our description of important factors, each timewhether as a potential important factor arises,result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws and regulations. We advise our security holders that they should (1) be aware that factors not referred to above could affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and (2) use caution and common sense when considering our forward-looking statements.laws.
GENERAL
We operate in three reportable segments: Nuclear Operations Group, Nuclear ServicesPower Group and Nuclear PowerServices Group. 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 to expand and complement our existing businesses. We would expect to fund these opportunities with cash on handgenerated from operations or by raising additional capital through debt, equity or some combination thereof.
Nuclear Operations Group
The revenues of our Nuclear Operations Group segment are largely a function of defense spending by the U.S. Government. Through this segment, we engineer, design and manufacture precision naval nuclear components, reactors and nuclear fuel for the DOE/NNSA's Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program. In addition, we perform development and fabrication activities for missile launch tubes for U.S. Navy submarines. As a supplier of major nuclear components for certain U.S. Government programs, this segment is a significant participant in the defense industry.
Nuclear Power Group
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. This segment is a leading supplier of nuclear fuel, fuel handling systems, tooling delivery systems 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. Additionally, this segment is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of critical medical radioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals.
Our Nuclear Power Group segment's overall activity primarily depends on the demand and competitiveness of nuclear energy. A significant portion of our Nuclear Power Group segment's operations depend on the timing of maintenance and refueling outages, the cyclical nature of capital expenditures and major refurbishment and life extension projects, as well as the demand for nuclear fuel and fuel handling equipment primarily in the Canadian market, which could cause variability in our financial results.
Nuclear Services Group
Our Nuclear Services Group segment provides various services to the U.S. Government and the commercial nuclear industry primarily in the U.S. The revenues and equity in income of investees under our U.S. Government contracts are largely a function of spending of the U.S. Government and the performance scores we and our consortium partners earn in managing and operating high-consequence operations at U.S. nuclear weapons sites, national laboratories and manufacturing complexes. With its specialized capabilities of full life-cycle management of special materials, facilities and technologies, we believe our Nuclear Services Group segment is well-positioned to continue to participate in the continuing cleanup, operation and management of critical government-owned nuclear sites, laboratories and manufacturing complexes maintained by the DOE, NASA and other federal agencies.
This segment is also engaged in inspection and maintenance services for the commercial nuclear industry primarily in the U.S. These services include thesteam generator, heat exchanger and balance of plant inspection of steam generators and heat exchangers,servicing as well as high pressure water lancing, non-destructive examination and the development of customized tooling solutions. This segment also develops technology for a variety of applications, including advanced nuclear power sources, and offers complete advanced nuclear fuel and reactor design and engineering, licensing and manufacturing services for new advanced nuclear reactors.

Acquisition of Sotera Health LLC's Nordion Medical Isotope Business
On April 17,July 30, 2018, we signed a definitive agreement to acquireour subsidiary BWXT ITG Canada, Inc. acquired Sotera Health LLC'sHealth's Nordion medical isotope business. Nordion's medical radioisotopesbusiness (the "MI business"). The MI business is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of critical medical isotopesradioisotopes and radiopharmaceuticals for research, diagnostic and therapeutic uses. Its customers include radiopharmaceutical companies, hospitals and radiopharmacies. Its primary operations are located in Kanata, Ontario, Canada and Vancouver, British Columbia.Columbia, Canada. This acquisition will allow us to accelerate our entry into the medical radioisotope market by adding licensed infrastructure,added approximately 150 highly trained and experienced personnel, two specialized production centers and two production centers. Subjecta uniquely licensed infrastructure. In addition to required Canadianthe growing portfolio of radioisotope products we acquired, the MI business will be the platform from which we plan to launch our Molybdenum-99 product line and U.S. regulatory reviewsa number of future radioisotope-based imaging, diagnostic and approvals, this transactiontherapeutic products. This business is expected to close by the endreported as part of 2018.our Nuclear Power Group segment.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
For a summary of the critical accounting policies and estimates that we use in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, see Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 20172018 10-K. There have been no material changes to our policies during the three months ended March 31, 20182019 with the exception of changes to FASB TopicsFinancial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers and Compensation – Retirement BenefitsLeases as described in the notes to ourthe condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
Accounting for Contracts
On certain of our performance obligations, we recognize revenue over time. In accordance with FASB Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers, we are required to estimate the total amount of costs on these performance obligations. As of March 31, 2018,2019, we have provided for the estimated costs to complete all of our ongoing contracts. However, it is possible that current estimates could change due to unforeseen events, which could result in adjustments to overall contract costs. A principal risk on fixed-pricedfixed-price contracts is that revenue from the customer is insufficient to cover increases in our costs. It is possible that current estimates could materially change for various reasons, including, but not limited to, fluctuations in forecasted labor productivity or steel and other raw material prices. In some instances, we guarantee completion dates related to our projects or provide performance guarantees. Increases in costs on our fixed-price contracts could have a material adverse impact on our

consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Alternatively, reductions in overall contract costs at

completion could materially improve our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. InDuring the three months ended March 31, 20182019 and 2017,2018, we recognized net changes in estimates related to contracts that recognize revenue over time, which increased operating income by approximately $5.3$4.8 million and $4.9$5.3 million, respectively.

Revenues decreased 25.2%, or $28.4 million, to $84.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $112.8 million for the corresponding period of 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower levels of activity associated with our nuclear components business of $19.6 million, predominantly related to the China steam generator project, which is nearing completion. In addition, we experienced a decrease in revenues of $10.2 million from a decline in the volume of in-plant inspection, maintenance and modification services due to fewer plant outages. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in revenues associated with our MI business, which was acquired in the third quarter of 2018.
Operating income decreased $9.2 million to $12.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $21.8 million for the corresponding period of 2018, primarily attributable to the decrease in revenues noted above. In addition, operating margins decreased as a result of a shift in our product line mix when compared to the same period in the prior year.

Backlog
Backlog represents the dollar amount of revenue we expect to recognize in the future from contracts awarded and in progress. Not all of our expected revenue from a contract award is recorded in backlog for a variety of reasons, including that some projects are awarded and completed within the same fiscal quarter.
Our backlog is equal to our remaining performance obligations under contracts that meet the criteria in FASB Topic Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as discussed in Note 23 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Report. It is possible that our methodology for determining backlog may not be comparable to methods used by other companies.
We are subject to the budgetary and appropriations cycle of the U.S. Government as it relates to our Nuclear Operations Group and Nuclear Services Group segments. Backlog may not be indicative of future operating results, and projects in our backlog may be cancelled, modified or otherwise altered by customers.

Major new awards from the U.S. Government are typically received following congressionalCongressional approval of the budget for the Government's next fiscal year, which starts October 1, and may not be awarded to us before the end of the calendar year. Due to the fact that most contracts awarded by the U.S. Government are subject to these annual funding approvals, the total values of the underlying programs are significantly larger. In April 2016,March 2019, we were awardedreceived a nuclear component and fuel contract, along with a three-year downblending contract byaward from the U.S. Government with a combined value in excess of $3.0exceeding $2.1 billion, inclusive of unexercised options.

Other Arrangements
We have posted surety bonds to support regulatory and contractual obligations for certain decommissioning responsibilities, projects and legal matters. We utilize bonding facilities to support such obligations, but the issuance of bonds

under those facilities is typically at the surety's discretion. Although there can be no assurance that we will maintain our surety bonding capacity, we believe our current capacity is adequate to support our existing requirements for the next twelve months. In addition, these bonds generally indemnify the beneficiaries should we fail to perform our obligations under the applicable agreements. We, and certain of our subsidiaries, have jointly executed general agreements of indemnity in favor of surety underwriters relating to surety bonds those underwriters issue. As of March 31, 2018,2019, bonds issued and outstanding under these arrangements totaled approximately $60.8$67.7 million.
Long-term Benefit Obligations
Our unfunded pension and postretirement benefit obligations totaled $284.1$193.1 million at March 31, 2018.2019. These long-term liabilities are expected to require use of our resources to satisfy future funding obligations. WeBased largely on statutory funding requirements, we expect to make contributions of approximately $25.6$5.7 million for the remainder of 20182019 related to our pension plans and postretirement plans. We may also make additional contributions based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, tax planning, evaluation of funded status and risk mitigation strategies.

Our investmentsdebt securities are carried at fair value and are either classified as trading, with unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings, or as available-for-sale, with unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, being reported as a component of other comprehensive income. Our equity securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains and losses reported in earnings.

Based on our liquidity position, we believe we have sufficient cash and letter of credit and borrowing capacity to fund our operating requirements for at least the next 12 months.

Item 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our exposures to market risks have not changed materially from those disclosed in Item 7A included in Part II of our 20172018 10-K.
Item 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) adopted by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")). This evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Our disclosure controls and procedures were developed through a process in which our management applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the control objectives. You should note that the design of any system of disclosure controls and procedures is based in part upon various assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and we cannot assure you that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Based on the evaluation referred to above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 20182019 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20182019 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
