Insights

Defense Industry Financial Analyst

Elbit Systems reports exceptional Q1 2025 with 22% revenue growth, backlog up 14% to $23.1B amid increased global defense spending.

Elbit Systems delivered impressive Q1 2025 results with revenues reaching $1.9 billion, a substantial 22% year-over-year increase. This marks the fourth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth across key financial metrics, reflecting the company's strong position in a heightened global defense environment.

The order backlog grew to $23.1 billion, up 14% from Q1 2024, with 66% coming from international markets. This robust backlog provides significant revenue visibility, with 51% scheduled for execution through 2026. The company generated $161 million in free cash flow and $183.6 million from operating activities.

Profitability metrics showed notable improvement, with GAAP operating income increasing to $149.7 million (7.9% of revenues) from $105.4 million (6.8%) in Q1 2024. Non-GAAP operating income rose to $165.1 million (8.7% of revenues) from $121.6 million (7.8%). GAAP EPS jumped to $2.35 from $1.65, while non-GAAP EPS reached $2.57 versus $1.81 last year.

The ongoing "Swords of Iron" war has significantly increased demand from the Israeli Ministry of Defense, while Elbit's international business continues to operate effectively despite some supply chain challenges and shipping disruptions in the Red Sea. The company has implemented measures to mitigate these issues, maintaining just 3% of employees on reserve duty as of March 31.

By segment, Land revenues showed the strongest growth at 48%, driven by ammunition and munition sales in Israel and Europe. Aerospace revenues increased 20% due to precision guided munition sales, while the American division grew 18%. This balanced growth across multiple segments demonstrates Elbit's diverse capabilities in meeting increased defense demands globally.

Order backlog at $23.1 billion; Revenues of $1.9 billion; GAAP net income of $107.1 million; Non-GAAP net income of $117.2 million; GAAP net EPS of $2.35; Non-GAAP net EPS of $2.57

Management Comment:

Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented:

"Elbit Systems announces today another set of strong financial results posting double-digit growth in revenues, operating income and earnings per share for the fourth consecutive quarter, as numerous global conflicts serve to increase defense budgets. Revenues grew by an impressive 22% reflecting the increased demand for our products and solutions globally. Backlog continued to grow during the quarter and stands at over $23 billion up 14% from Q1 2024. Free cash flow generated during the quarter stood at $161 million. We believe Elbit is well positioned to capture and benefit from the opportunities of increasing defense budgets globally and particularly in Europe with our well-established subsidiaries across the continent as evident in our published contract wins. We are continuing to invest in increasing our production capacity and optimizing our supply chains in order to address our backlog and the high demand for our products. These results would not be possible without our dedicated employees worldwide, for which I am extremely grateful."

Aerospace revenues increased by 20% in the first quarter of 2025, as compared to the first quarter of 2024 mainly due to increased Precision Guided Munition (PGM) sales in Israel and Asia Pacific. C4I and Cyber revenues increased by 12% mainly due to radio systems and command and control systems sales in Israel and Europe. ISTAR and EW revenues increased by 4% mainly due to Electro-Optic systems sales in Europe. Land revenues increased by 48% due to ammunition and munition sales in Israel and Europe. Elbit Systems of America revenues increased by 18% due to the increase in Warfighters systems and medical instrumentation sales.

The Company's order backlog as of March 31, 2025 totaled $23.1 billion. Approximately 66% of the current backlog is attributable to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 51% of the order backlog is scheduled to be performed during the remainder of 2025 and 2026. 

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2025 was $183.6 million, as compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $6.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. The cash flow in the first quarter of 2025 was affected mainly by an increase in net income and an increase in contract liabilities, which were offset by increases in inventories and trade receivables.

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

The "Swords of Iron" war, which began on October 7, 2023, following the Hamas terrorists attack on Israeli civilian and military targets, followed by attacks from Iran and other terrorist organizations on different fronts including Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and rebel militia in Syria, is still on-going, albeit in varied intensity levels.

Since the commencement of the war, Elbit Systems has experienced a material increase in the demand for its products and solutions from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) compared to the demand levels prior to the war. At the same time, the Company and its subsidiaries around the world continued to conduct their business in international markets. Subject to further developments, which are difficult to predict, the IMOD's increased demand for the Company's products and solutions may continue and could generate material additional orders to the Company.

The majority of the Company's facilities in Israel continue to operate uninterrupted. Some of Elbit Systems' operations have experienced disruptions due to supply chain and operational constraints, including among others increases in transportation costs and delays due to factors such as the Houthi movement attacks on shipping in the Red Sea, material and component shortages, limitations imposed by some countries on exports to Israel and attacks on some of Elbit Systems' global facilities by anti-Israeli organizations.

Elbit Systems has taken a number of steps to protect the safety and security of its employees in Israel and abroad, to support increased production, mitigate existing and potential supply chain disruptions and to maintain business continuity, including increased monitoring of global supply chains to identify delays, shortages and bottlenecks, rescheduling deliveries to certain customers as necessary and maintaining increased inventories. As of March 31, 2025, the percentage of employees called up for reserve duty was approximately 3%. This rate could fluctuate depending on future developments.

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 its duration and scope. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

Dividend:

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.60 per share. The dividend's record date is June 24, 2025. The dividend will be paid on July 7, 2025, after deduction of withholding tax, at the rate of 16.8%.

* Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data, including non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders, 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, restructuring activities, uncompensated costs related to "Swords of Iron" war, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, 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 non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP 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 non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share attributed to Company's shareholders 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 non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share attributable to Company's shareholders 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.
