The primary driver behind the outperformance was a surge in Government Operations, where higher naval nuclear component production and special materials processing pushed segment revenue up 9% to $588.96 million and segment adjusted EBITDA 23% higher. The May closing of the Kinectrics acquisition added further momentum to Commercial Operations, helping that segment's revenue jump 24% to $176.14 million. A landmark naval reactor pricing agreement also fueled a record backlog of $6.02 billion, up 70.2% year-over-year, a figure that underscores BWXT's positioning as broader market sentiment improves around defense and clean energy. Management raised full-year guidance across every key metric, now targeting revenue of approximately $3.10 billion and non-GAAP EPS of $3.65–$3.75.
