Elbit Systems reports Q1 EPS $2.57 vs. $1.81 last year

Reports Q1 revenue $1.9B vs. $1.55B last year. “Elbit Systems (ESLT) 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.”
