 and management. The Committee also considered whether the provision of non-audit services to BWXT is compatible with Deloitte’s independence.

The Audit and Finance Committee reviewed and discussed with management its assessment and report on the effectiveness of BWXT’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, which it made using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework” (2013 framework). We have also reviewed and discussed with Deloitte its review and report on BWXT’s internal control over financial reporting.

Based on these reviews and discussions and the reports of Deloitte, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in BWXT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 4: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025

Our Board of Directors has ratified the decision of the Audit and Finance Committee to appoint Deloitte to serve as the independent registered public accounting firm to audit our financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025. Although stockholder approval of this appointment is not required, we intend to seek stockholder approval of our registered public accounting firm annually. No determination has been made as to what action the Audit and Finance Committee and the Board of Directors would take if our stockholders fail to ratify the appointment. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit and Finance Committee retains discretion to appoint a new independent registered public accounting firm at any time if the Audit and Finance Committee concludes such a change would be in our best interests. We expect that representatives of Deloitte will be present at the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and to respond to appropriate questions.
