 Management Comment:

"Double digit revenue growth and an almost $2 billion increase in the backlog coupled with the improvement in profitability in the third quarter provide us with confidence in our ability to meet our long term plan and overcome the current challenges.

Following the brutal attack on Israel, the outbreak of war on the 7th of October and the increase in demand for our solutions by the Israel MOD Elbit Systems has ramped up its production in support of the Israel MOD and Israel's security forces. We remain focused on maintaining our commitments to our customers around the world.

We appreciate the multiple expressions of support from our customers and business partners around the world.

Our hearts and prayers are with the hostages, the soldiers and their families. I would like to express my appreciation to Elbit Systems' employees around the world that are contributing to our efforts to support Israel and our customers in challenging times".

Aerospace revenues increased by 24% in the third quarter of 2023 compared to the third quarter of 2022, mainly due to training & simulation sales in Europe and UAS in Asia Pacific. C4I and Cyber revenues increased by 9% year over year mainly due to radio systems sales in Europe. ISTAR and EW revenues were similar to the revenues in the third quarter of 2022. Land revenues increased by 7% mainly due to artillery and weapon station sales in Europe. Elbit Systems of America revenues decreased by 2% in the third quarter due to lower precision guided munition sales.

Cash flows used in operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were $200.0 million, as compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of $44.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The cash flows in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were affected mainly by the increase in inventories.

Impact of the "Swords of Iron" War on the Company

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel's southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of brutal attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel's border with the Gaza Strip and in many other parts of Israel. Israel has also been attacked on other fronts, including from Lebanon, which have prompted military responses from Israel. Following the attacks, the State of Israel declared a state of war. 

Since the commencement of hostilities, Elbit Systems has experienced a considerable increased demand for our solutions from the Israel Ministry Of Defense (IMOD) compared to the routine levels of demands, and we have increased our support to the IMOD, mainly through deliveries of our systems and dedicated efforts of our employees. Subject to further developments, this demand may continue and possibly generate material orders to the Company. At the same time, the Company continues to support its international customers.

While the vast majority of our facilities in Israel continue to operate uninterrupted, some of our operations have experienced disruptions due to the relocation of certain production lines, mobilization of personnel for reserve duty (approximately 15% of our work force in Israel has been called for duty), operational constrains and supply chain disruptions.

Elbit Systems is taking a number of actions to protect the safety of our employees and maintain business continuity, among them relocation of production lines from facilities in areas that have been evacuated to other facilities; recruitment of additional employees to support an increase in production capacity and to replace employees recruited into the reserves; increased monitoring of our global supply chain to identify delays, shortages and bottlenecks; rescheduling deliveries as necessary; and increasing inventories to mitigate potential supply chain disruptions and to support increased production. To date, the impact of the disruptions on our financial results has not been material. 

The extent of the effects of the war on the Company's performance will depend on future developments that are difficult to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of the war. We continue to monitor the situation closely. 

* Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data, including Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, is presented to enable investors to have additional information on our business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to our financial results. We believe such data provides useful information to investors and analysts by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of our financial results over time. The non-GAAP adjustments exclude amortization expenses of intangible assets related to acquisitions that occurred mainly in prior periods, capital gains related primarily to the sale of investments, revaluations of investments in affiliated companies, non-operating foreign exchange gains or losses, one-time tax expenses, and the effect of tax on each of these items. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they supplement and/or enhance management's, analysts' and investors' overall understanding of the Company's underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past, and future periods.

Specifically, management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders to measure the ongoing gross profit, operating profit and net income performance of the Company because the measure adjusts for more significant non-recurring items, amortization expenses of intangible assets relating to prior acquisitions, and non-cash expense which can fluctuate year to year.

We believe Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders are useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because they provide measures of the Company's ongoing performance that enable these users to perform trend analysis using comparable data.

Management uses Adjusted diluted earnings per share to evaluate further adjusted net income attributable to the Company's shareholders while considering changes in the number of diluted shares over comparable periods.

We believe adjusted diluted earnings per share is useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because it also enables these users to evaluate adjusted net income attributable to Company's shareholders on a per-share basis.

The non-GAAP measures used by the Company are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. They should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
