Team:

Happy new year—and thank you again for the exceptional work you delivered in 2025.

As our business landscape evolves, we continue to achieve solid performance by staying focused on six strategic priorities that guide everything we do:

• People and Culture: Become employer of choice in defense technology.
• Growth: Achieve balanced top‑line growth with margin expansion.
• Technical Capabilities: Expand into higher‑end, differentiated solutions.
• Service Delivery: Be renowned for “best‑in‑class” customer experience.
• Brand Awareness: Expand HII’s recognition as a technology leader.
• Shareholder Value: Drive shareholder value through financial performance.

Let’s build on this momentum in 2026.

Please review the 2026 Divisional Goals, which include our mission and vision as well as how we will integrate the Leadership Capability Framework (LCF) into this year’s Performance Management Cycle.

You’ll also receive a follow‑up message from Melanie Anderson, our senior vice president of human capital management, with more details on the goal‑setting process, timelines, and training resources.

If you have questions about the goals or performance management, please discuss them with your manager.

Thank you for your commitment to our customers’ missions—and ours. Together, let’s make 2026 our best year yet.
