ISTAR and EW revenues increased by 15%, mainly due to Electro-Optic systems sales in Israel and Electronic Warfare systems sales in Europe. Land revenues increased by 45%, due to ammunition and munition sales in Israel and Europe. Elbit Systems of America revenues increased by 4%, due to the increase in Maritime and Warfighters systems sales.

GAAP gross profit in the second quarter of 2025 was $472.9 million (24.0% of revenues), as compared to $389.7 million (24.0% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024. Non-GAAP(*) gross profit amounted to $480.4 million (24.4% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $396.2 million (24.4% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024.

General and administrative expenses, net were $93.9 million (4.8% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to $68.7 million (4.2% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in general and administrative expenses, net in the second quarter of 2025, was mainly due to one-time expenses incurred during the current quarter. General and administrative expenses, net during the second quarter of 2024 were lower than average of 2024. GAAP operating income in the second quarter of 2025 was $157.8 million (8.0% of revenues), as compared to $116.5 million (7.2% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024.

The decrease in effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2025, was mainly due to the increase in deferred tax assets and the settlement of tax assessments. GAAP net income attributable to the Company's shareholders in the second quarter of 2025 was $125.7 million (6.4% of revenues), as compared to $78.4 million (4.8% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in net income attributable to the Company's shareholders in the second quarter of 2025 was in line with the increase in the Company's activity and order backlog. Non-GAAP(*) net income attributable to the Company's shareholders in the second quarter of 2025 was $151.0 million (7.7% of revenues), as compared to $92.7 million (5.7% of revenues) in the second quarter of 2024. GAAP diluted earnings per share attributable to the Company's shareholders in the second quarter of 2025 were $2.69, as compared to $1.76 in the second quarter of 2024.

The Company's order backlog as of June 30, 2025 totaled $23.8 billion. Approximately 68% of the current backlog is attributable to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 46% of the order backlog is scheduled to be performed during the remainder of 2025 and 2026. Cash flow provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $304.0 million, as compared to $26.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024. The cash flow in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was affected mainly by the strong increase in net income. ___________ Impact of recent conflicts in the Middle East on the Company: The "Swords of Iron" war, which began on October 7, 2023, after the Hamas terrorists attack on Israeli civilian and military targets, followed by attacks from Iran and other terrorist organizations on different fronts including Hezbolla in Lebanon, the Houthi movement in Yemen and rebel militia in Syria, is still on-going, albeit in varied intensity levels. On June 13 2025, the conflict between Israel and Iran escalated into high intensity mutual violent attacks which lasted until a cease fire was declared on June 24, 2025. Since the commencement of the "Swords of Iron" 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 continue 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 June 30, 2025, the percentage of employees called up for reserve duty was approximately 5%. This rate could fluctuate depending on future developments. The extent of the effects of the recent conflicts in the Middle East on the Company's performance will depend on future developments that are difficult to predict at this time, including their duration and scope. We continue to monitor the situation closely. Recent Events: On May 21, 2025, the Company announced the public offering of 1,365,450 ordinary shares at a price to the public of $375 per share.

(FINANCIAL TABLES TO FOLLOW)
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.
