General Dynamics Reports First-Quarter 2024 Financial Results

April 24, 2024

•Revenue of $10.7 billion, up 8.6% from year-ago quarter
•Operating earnings of $1 billion, up 10.4% from year-ago quarter
•Diluted EPS of $2.88, up 9.1% from year-ago quarter
•Operating margin of 9.7%, a 20 basis-point expansion from year-ago quarter


RESTON, Va. – General Dynamics (NYSE: GD) today reported first-quarter 2024 revenues of $10.7 billion, up 8.6% from the first quarter of 2023. Operating earnings of $1 billion were up 10.4% from the year-ago quarter, with operating margins expanding 20 basis points to 9.7% from the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.88, up 9.1% from the year-ago quarter.

“Our businesses delivered solid operating results in the quarter, growing revenue and backlog, while expanding margins, even as we awaited G700 certification,” said Phebe N. Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. “In the Aerospace segment, the recent FAA certification of the Gulfstream G700 has enabled us to begin customer deliveries. This is a strong start to 2024 and we remain confident in our outlook.”

Cash and Capital Deployment
Net cash used by operating activities in the quarter was $278 million due to growth of operating working capital in both the Aerospace and defense segments.

During the quarter, the company invested $159 million in capital expenditures, paid $361 million in dividends, and used $105 million to repurchase more than 390,000 shares, ending the quarter with $1 billion in cash and equivalents.

Backlog
The consolidated book-to-bill ratio, defined as orders divided by revenue, was 1-to-1 for the quarter. Company-wide backlog of $93.7 billion was up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter. Estimated potential contract value, representing management’s estimate of additional value in unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options, was $40.3 billion. Total estimated contract value, the sum of all backlog components, was $134 billion, up 4.4% from the year-ago quarter.

In the Aerospace segment, orders in the quarter totaled $2.4 billion, growing backlog to $20.5 billion, up 6.2% from the year-ago quarter. Aerospace book-to-bill was 1.2-to-1 for the quarter.

In the defense segments, orders in the quarter totaled $8.8 billion, with particular strength in Combat Systems and Technologies, which had book-to-bill ratios of 1.6-to-1 and 1.2-to-1, respectively.

This press release contains forward-looking statements (FLS), including statements about the company’s future operational and financial performance, which are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections and assumptions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “forecasts,” “scheduled,” “outlook,” “estimates,” “should” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify FLS. In making FLS, we rely on assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends; current conditions and expected future developments; and other factors, estimates and judgments we consider reasonable and appropriate based on information available to us at the time. FLS are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. FLS are not guarantees of future performance and involve factors, risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in the FLS. All FLS speak only as of the date they were made. We do not undertake any obligation to update or publicly release revisions to FLS to reflect events, circumstances or changes in expectations after the date of this press release. Additional information regarding these factors is contained in the company’s filings with the SEC, and these factors may be revised or supplemented in future SEC filings. In addition, this press release contains some financial measures not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). While we believe these non-GAAP metrics provide useful information for investors, there are limitations associated with their use, and our calculations of these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Non-GAAP metrics should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, GAAP measures. Reconciliations to comparable GAAP measures and other information relating to our non-GAAP measures are included in other filings with the SEC, which are available at investorrelations.gd.com.

We believe free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes such as repaying debt, funding business acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use free cash flow to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key performance measure in evaluating management.

(f)We define net debt as short- and long-term debt (total debt) less cash and equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure for investors because it reflects the borrowings that support our operations and capital deployment strategy. We use net debt as an important indicator of liquidity and financial position.

The actual amount of funding received in the future may be higher or lower than our estimate of potential contract value.
