同比营业收入增长反映出强劲持续的势头,在2024年第三季度为16%。在该季度,我们与爱文思控股相关的先进红外传感、力量保护和战术雷达项目是稳健营业收入增长的主要推动因素。

成交量的增加是导致当季调整后的息税折旧及摊销前利润(EBITDA)增长和利润率扩大的主要推动因素。我们的成交量扩张与高效的运营表现相结合,导致我们的底线指标增加,季度净利润、调整后净利润、摊薄后每股收益和调整后摊薄后每股收益均较去年同期增加,尽管税率和成本较高。

现金流量和资产负债表
经营活动产生的净现金流量为5900万美元,该公司季度的自由现金流为4800万美元。相比去年,经营活动现金流和自由现金流都显著增加,主要是由于盈利能力增加和更好的营运资本效率,其中有利于客户收款的时机。季末,资产负债表上有19800万美元的现金和20500万美元的公司信贷设施下的未偿债务,为公司提供了足够的财务能力来部署资本用于增长,同时保持健康的资产负债表。

公司在本季度的新融资预订中录得11亿美元。稳定的客户需求推动了我们在海军网络计算、电力股和推进力、力量保护以及爱文思控股红外感应技术方面的季度预订。季末总订单额达到83亿美元,创下新的公司记录,同比增长了75%,也较上季度有所增长。

尽管第三季度的ASC订单低于去年同期,但第三季度订单继续反映了我们海军网络计算、高级红外传感和战术通信技术的强劲客户需求。高级红外感应和战术雷达计划的营收增长仍然是同比增长的主要贡献因素。有利的项目组合、改善的项目执行和更高的成交量推动了调整后的EBITDA增长和季度利润率扩张。

我们在电力和推进力以及防护领域的能力需求推动了该部门季度订单量。该领域中的适度营业收入增长反映了来自我们防护计划的增加。由于成交量增加以及第三季度稍微改善的净项目执行,调整后的EBITDA有所增加。

2025年初步指导框架
公司预计营业收入增长5%至8%(以上述2024年指引范围的中间点为基础),调整后的EBITDA利润率约为13%。与过往惯例一致,Leonardo DRS预计将于2024年第四季度财报发布会中公布其2025年指引。

公司未提供前瞻性调整后的息税折旧及摊薄后每股收益的调和,因为在不合理的努力下进行预测和量化必要调整的困难。对这些项目中的任何一个进行重大变更可能会对未来的普通会计准则造成重大影响。

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included throughout this document, the company has provided information regarding “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted EBITDA Margin,” “Adjusted Net Earnings,” “Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share” and “Free Cash Flow” (each, a non-GAAP financial measure).

We believe the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document will help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is discussed in greater detail below, are important supplemental measures because they exclude unusual or non-recurring items as well as non-cash items that are unrelated to or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating results. Further, when read in conjunction with our GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as a tool to help make financial, operational and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry by providing more comparable measures that are less affected by factors such as capital structure.

We recognize that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define these non-GAAP financial measures as:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined as net earnings before income taxes, interest expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, deal-related transaction costs, restructuring costs and other one-time non-operational events (which include non-service pension expense, legal liability accrual reversals and foreign exchange impacts), then in the case of adjusted EBITDA margin dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.

Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Diluted EPS are defined as net earnings excluding amortization of acquired intangible assets, deal-related transaction costs, restructuring costs and other one-time non-operational events (which include non-service pension expense, legal liability accrual reversals and foreign exchange impacts), and the related tax impacts, then in the case of adjusted diluted EPS dividing adjusted net earnings by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding (WASO).
