News Explained

The declared $1.00-per-share dividend is the concrete holder-level change, with payment scheduled after withholding tax.

Elbit Systems reported its second-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2026, and the board declared a $1.00-per-share dividend, making a per-share distribution the release's concrete holder-level change.

The dividend has a October 13, 2026 record date and is scheduled for payment on October 26, 2026, after 16.8% withholding tax. The company also says the proposed resolutions at its annual shareholder meeting were approved by the required majority.

The company says it recognized a cumulative year-to-date impact of approximately $40 million after applying Israel's new R&D law to qualifying expenditures beginning January 1, 2026.

The release identifies a mixed operating backdrop: conflicts increased demand from Israel's Ministry of Defense while also causing supply-chain and operational disruptions. The stated watch item is whether those disruptions increase again as the duration and scope of hostilities and ceasefire arrangements develop.

Analysis

LHX's recorded move was 0.3% in the peer data, showing a mixed comparison rather than a confirmed sector signal. The platform record added context to the earnings report; operational disruptions remained the key risk to monitor.

Key Terms

gaap, non-gaap, order backlog, global minimum tax
4 terms
gaap financial
"GAAP net income of $173.6 million"
GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
View in glossary
non-gaap financial
"Non-GAAP net income of $199.1 million"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
View in glossary
order backlog financial
"Order backlog at $32.0 billion"
Order backlog is the total value or number of customer orders a company has received but not yet fulfilled or delivered. It acts like a queue at a busy restaurant: a healthy backlog signals steady future sales and revenue visibility, while a growing backlog can also warn of production bottlenecks, delayed cash collection, or rising costs — all important when assessing a company’s near-term performance and operational risks.
global minimum tax regulatory
"OECD Pillar II global minimum tax rules"
An international rule that sets a minimum corporate tax rate companies must pay on their profits, regardless of where those profits are booked, so that businesses cannot avoid higher taxes by shifting income to low-tax jurisdictions. Think of it as a floor under tax rates—like a rule that prevents shoppers from escaping sales tax by shopping only in the cheapest store. It matters to investors because it can change after-tax profits, affect where companies report earnings, influence cash flow and effective tax rates, and alter comparisons between companies and valuations.

"The strong momentum in the second quarter was sustained, delivering double-digit growth in sales, backlog and earnings per share, improved profitability, and strong cash flow generation.

C4I and Cyber revenues increased by 11% in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to the increase in radio systems and command and control systems sales in Europe. ISTAR and EW revenues increased by 22% in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to increased sales of airborne and land High Power Laser, Electronic Warfare and Maritime systems in Asia-Pacific. Land revenues increased by 32% in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to ammunition and munition sales in Israel. Elbit systems of America revenues increased by 17% in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to a one-time favorable project mix and the increase in sales of Night-Vision Systems, Maritime systems and Electronic systems. Aerospace revenues decreased by 8% in the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, mainly due to a one-time unfavorable project mix and decreased sales of training and simulation systems in Europe partially offset by the increase in UAV sales in Israel.

Impact of the recent conflicts in the Middle East on the Company:

The war which began on October 7, 2023, continued throughout most of 2025, with ceasefires agreed to between Israel and Lebanon involving the conflict with Hezbollah in November 2024, and, after an intensified period of conflict that lasted 12 days, a ceasefire was declared with Iran in June 2025. A ceasefire with Hamas was agreed to in January 2025, and a subsequent ceasefire with Hamas was agreed to in October 2025. On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran named "Operation Epic Fury" by the U.S., and "Operation Roaring Lion" by Israel, targeting key Iranian officials and targets. Iran launched attacks against Israel and at U.S. military bases across the region, including strikes in Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Jordan. On March 2, 2026 Hezbollah launched an attack on Israel. After an intensified period of conflict that lasted 40 days, a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which was subsequently extended, took effect on April 8, 2026, and a separate ten–day cessation of hostilities between Israel and Lebanon, which was subsequently extended, began on April 16, 2026. On June 18, 2026, the U.S. and Iran signed a Memorandum of Understanding at Versailles providing for, among other things, the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and a 60-day period for further negotiations. On June 26, 2026, a trilateral ceasefire agreement was signed between Israel, the U.S. and Lebanon. In early July 2026, the U.S.-Iran MOU collapsed following Iranian attacks on merchant ships attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent U.S. strikes on Iranian targets; as of the date of this filing, hostilities between the U.S. and Iran have resumed. The current situation remains uncertain, including in light of violations of the ceasefire arrangements since they began.

Since the commencement of the war and the escalation of conflicts in the Middle East, Elbit Systems has experienced a continued 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. Such increased demand may continue and could generate material additional orders to the Company.

As a result of the war and the other conflicts in the Middle East, 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 and elevated prices, employee call-ups for reserve duty, limitations imposed by some countries on engagement with Israel and attacks on some of Elbit Systems' global facilities by anti-Israeli organizations.

Elbit Systems has taken various steps to protect its employees worldwide, to support increased production, to increase raw material and component inventories, to mitigate supply chain disruptions and to maintain business continuity. Following the ceasefire agreements described above, these operational effects on the Company have been reduced, however, such effects on the Company's performance could increase again, depending on future developments that are difficult to predict at this time, including the duration and scope of these conflicts and the continuity and stability of the ceasefire arrangements.

The Law for the Encouragement and Incentivization of Research and Development:

On March 31, 2026, the Knesset enacted the Law for the Encouragement and Incentivization of Research and Development 5786-2026 (the "R&D Law"). The R&D Law applies to qualifying R&D expenditures incurred at the beginning of the tax year starting January 1, 2026. The Company implemented the new R&D Law for the first time and recognized a cumulative year-to-date impact of approximately $40 million.

Recent Events:

On May 28, 2026, the Company announced that it was awarded a contract valued at approximately $350 million from an international customer to deliver upgrades for Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). The program includes the integration of advanced Fire Control Systems, Electric Gun & Turret Drive Systems, Communication and Situational Awareness solutions, as well as Mid Life Upgrade package. The contract will be performed over a period of four years.

On July 20, 2026, the Company announced that its U.S. subsidiary, Elbit Systems of America, LLC, has received multiple awards from U.S. Customs and Border Protection totaling over $370 million to enhance U.S. national security, with work to be performed through May 2029.

On August 6, 2026, the Company announced that at its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on August 5, 2026 at the Company's offices in Haifa, the proposed resolutions described in the Proxy Statement to the Shareholders dated July 1, 2026 were approved by the required majority.

Dividend:

The Board of Directors declared a dividend of $1.00 per share. The dividend's record date is October 13, 2026. The dividend will be paid on October 26, 2026, 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, Non-identified costs in respect to special circumstances, 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.
