ELBIT SYSTEMS REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS

Revenues at $691 million; Net income at $32.9 million;
Diluted net earnings per share of $0.77
 

 
Haifa, Israel, May 15, 2012 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ESLT, TASE: ESLT), the international defense company, reported today its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.

In this release, the Company is providing its usual US-GAAP results as well as additional non-GAAP financial data, which are intended to provide investors with a more comprehensive understanding of the Company's business results and trends. Unless otherwise stated, all financial data presented is GAAP financial data.

Management Comment:

Joseph Ackerman, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented: “In the first quarter, we recorded revenue growth as compared to the corresponding quarter last year. Much of this growth came from markets such as Latin America and Asia-Pacific, geographic regions with many emerging economies and diverse defense markets, supported by growing defense budgets. I foresee that in 2012 we will begin to see the impact of our ongoing efforts, enabling the company to address the industry’s competitive challenges, both for the benefit of our employees and for the Company’s long-term success.”

First quarter 2012 results:

Revenues in the first quarter of 2012 were $690.8 million, as compared to $620.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. The leading contributor to the Company's revenues was the airborne systems area of operations.

Gross profit amounted to $195.8 million (28.3% of revenues) for the first quarter of 2012, as compared with gross profit of $185.6 million (29.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011. The non-GAAP gross profit in the first quarter of 2012 was $200.9 million (29.1% of revenues), compared to $193.2 million (31.1% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011.

Research and development expenses, net were $58.8 million (8.5% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $54.2 million (8.7% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011.

Marketing and selling expenses were $61.4 million (8.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $55.0 million (8.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011.

General and administrative expenses were $33.9 million (4.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $35.5 million (5.7% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011.

Financial expenses, net were $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2011. Financial expenses in the first quarter of 2011 were comparatively high due to expenses related to currency hedging activities.

The equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and partnership in the first quarter of 2012 included approximately $1.6 million in capital gain related to the sale of the Company's interest in an affiliated entity.

Net loss attributable to non-controlling interests was $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to net income of $1.0 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders was $32.9 million (4.8% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $27.9 million (4.5% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011. The non-GAAP net income in the first quarter of 2012 was $40.8 million (5.9% of revenues), as compared to $38.6 million (6.2% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011.

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders were $0.77 for the first quarter of 2012, as compared with $0.65 for the first quarter of 2011. The non-GAAP earnings per share in the first quarter of 2012 were $0.96, as compared to $0.90 in the first quarter of 2011.

The Company’s backlog of orders was $5,450 million as of March 31, 2012, as compared with $5,528 million as of December 31, 2011. Approximately 76% of the backlog relates to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 71% of the Company’s backlog as of March 31, 2012, is scheduled to be performed during the upcoming three quarters of 2012 and during 2013.

Operating cash flow was $51.8 million during the first quarter of 2012, as compared to $40.1 million in the first quarter of 2011.

Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data is presented to enable investors to have additional information on the Company's business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to the Company's financial results. The Company believes such data provides useful information to investors by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of the Company's financial results over time. Such non-GAAP information is used by the Company's management to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current performance. However, 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.

The non-GAAP financial data includes reconciliation adjustments regarding non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted EPS. In arriving at non-GAAP presentations, companies generally factor out items such as those that have a non-recurring impact on the income statements, various non-cash items, significant effects of retroactive tax legislation and changes in accounting guidance and other items which, in management's judgment, are items that are considered to be outside of the review of core operating results.

In the Company's non-GAAP presentation, the Company made the following adjustments, in each or some of the applicable periods: (1) added back amortization of purchased intangible assets, (2) added back significant reorganization, restructuring and other related expenses, (3) added back impairment of investments, including impairment of auction rate securities,   (4) subtracted gain from changes in holdings, including revaluation of the previously held shares at the acquisition date when a business combination is achieved in stages (step-up), (5) added back impairment loss from discontinued operations, (6) excluded the impact of the cessation of a program with a foreign customer and (7) excluded the income tax effects of the foregoing.

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