Leonardo DRS continued to deliver remarkable year-over-year revenue growth, which stood at 20% for the second quarter. Our programs related to advanced infrared sensing, electric power and propulsion and tactical radars were key drivers behind the robust revenue growth in the quarter.
1
Higher volume spurred the significant year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion in the quarter. Quarterly net earnings, adjusted net earnings, diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS were all higher as a result of strong operational performance, which outweighed a higher tax rate and expense compared to the prior year.
Cash Flow and Balance Sheet
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $34 million for the second quarter. The company's free cash flow generation was $1 million in the quarter. The operating and free cash flow trends were largely consistent with the historical patterns of the business but showed year-over-year improvement on both metrics due to increased profitability and better working capital efficiency.
At quarter end, the balance sheet had $149 million of cash and $208 million of outstanding borrowings under the company’s credit facility, which provides the company with sufficient financial capacity to deploy capital for growth, while maintaining a healthy balance sheet.
Bookings and Backlog
| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Bookings | $941 | $698 | $1,756 | $1,447 | |||||||||||||||||||

| Backlog | $7,925 | $4,357 | $7,925 | $4,357 | |||||||||||||||||||
The company received $941 million in new funded awards during the quarter. The bookings strength came from healthy customer demand for our differentiated technologies and solutions in advanced infrared sensing, electric power and propulsion, ground network computing as well as ground systems integration. At quarter end, backlog stood at a record of $7.9 billion, representing an 82% increase year-over-year.
Segment Results
Advanced Sensing and Computing (“ASC”) Segment
| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | Change | 2024 | 2023 | Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenues | $492 | $404 | 22 | % | $925 | $795 | 16 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $55 | $36 | 53 | % | $96 | $73 | 32 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Book-to-Bill | 1.3x | 1.2x | 1.3x | 1.1x | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
ASC bookings continued to exceed expectations with solid demand for our advanced infrared sensing as well as our naval and ground network computing technologies. Revenue growth on advanced infrared sensing and tactical radar programs were the major contributors for the year-over-year increase in the segment. Favorable program mix, improved program execution and higher volume drove the adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion for the quarter.

Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”) Segment
| (Dollars in millions) | Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| June 30, | June 30, | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 2024 | 2023 | Change | 2024 | 2023 | Change | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenues | $266 | $226 | 18 | % | $527 | $415 | 27 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $27 | $26 | 4 | % | $56 | $38 | 47 | % | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA Margin | 10.2 | % | 11.5 | % | (130) bps | 10.6 | % | 9.2 | % | 140 bps | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Bookings | $325 | $229 | $553 | $574 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Book-to-Bill | 1.2x | 1.0x | 1.0x | 1.4x | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Strong IMS bookings were driven by healthy demand for our electric power and propulsion capabilities. Drivers for quarterly revenue growth were broad-based and came from increases in our electric power and propulsion, force protection and ground systems integration programs. While adjusted EBITDA increased as a result of higher volume, unfavorable program mix and less efficient execution related to a ground surveillance integration program led to margin contraction in Q2. Our Columbia Class program continued to trend positively with significantly improved year-over-year profitability.
2024 Guidance
Leonardo DRS is adjusting its 2024 guidance as specified in the table below:
| Measure | Current 2024 Guidance | Prior 2024 Guidance | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Revenue | $3,075 million - $3,175 million | $2,925 million - $3,025 million | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted EBITDA | $375 million - $395 million | $365 million - $390 million | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Tax Rate | 20.5% | 22.5% | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Diluted Shares Outstanding | 268.0 million | 268.0 million | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Adjusted Diluted EPS | $0.82 - $0.88 | $0.74 - $0.82 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted EPS, due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the adjustments that are necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results.
Conference Call
Leonardo DRS management will host a conference call beginning at 10:00 a.m. ET on July 30, 2024 to discuss the financial results for its second quarter 2024.
A live audio broadcast of the conference call along with a supplemental presentation will be available to the public through links on the Leonardo DRS Investor Relations website (https://investors.leonardodrs.com).
A replay of the conference call will be available on the Leonardo DRS website approximately 2 hours after the conclusion of the conference call.

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 shares outstanding.
