    • Full-year net earnings of $3.8 billion, diluted EPS of $13.63, on $47.7 billion in revenue
    • $2.2 billion net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter, 188% of net earnings
    • Ended the year with $90.6 billion in backlog

    RESTON, Va., Jan. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics (NYSE:GD) today reported quarterly net earnings of $1.1 billion, up 14.2% from the year-ago quarter, on revenue of $13.3 billion, up 14.3% over the year-ago quarter. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) was $4.15, up 14% from the year-ago quarter.

    For the full year, net earnings were $3.8 billion, up 14.1% from 2023, on revenue of $47.7 billion, up 12.9% from 2023. Diluted EPS for the full year was $13.63, up 13.4% from 2023.

    "We had a solid fourth quarter, capping off a year that saw steady growth in revenue and earnings across all four segments," said Phebe N. Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. "Order activity continued to be very strong, with 1-to-1 book-to-bill for the year, even as revenue grew by 13%, positioning us well for continued growth."

    Gulfstream delivered 47 aircraft in the quarter, of which 42 were large-cabin aircraft. The company delivered a total of 136 aircraft during the year, of which 118 were large-cabin aircraft. 

    Cash

    Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter totaled $2.2 billion, or 188% of net earnings. For the year, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.1 billion, or 109% of net earnings. 

    During the year, the company invested $916 million in capital expenditures, made tax payments of $560 million, repaid fixed-rate notes of $500 million, and returned $3 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, ending 2024 with $1.7 billion in cash and equivalents on hand.

    Backlog

    Orders remained strong across the company with a consolidated book-to-bill ratio, defined as orders divided by revenue, of 0.9-to-1 for the quarter and 1-to-1 for the year. The company ended the year with backlog of $90.6 billion and estimated potential contract value, representing management's estimate of additional value in unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options, of $53.4 billion. Total estimated contract value, the sum of all backlog components, was $144 billion at year end, up 9.1% from a year earlier.

    In the Aerospace segment, orders in the quarter totaled $3.8 billion. Backlog at the end of the year was $19.7 billion. Aerospace book-to-bill was 1-to-1 for the quarter and the year.

    In the three defense segments, significant awards in the quarter include a U.S. Air Force contract with maximum potential value of $5.6 billion to modernize, integrate and operate the Department of Defense's Mission Partner Environments (MPEs); a U.S. Space Force contract with maximum potential value of $2.2 billion to provide sustainment services for the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) satellite communications system; $1.9 billion from the U.S. Navy for multiple contracts to provide services, materials and parts for Virginia-class submarines; $370 million from the U.S. Army for the production of 155mm artillery projectile metal parts; contracts for various munitions and ordnance with maximum potential value of $820 million; and several key contracts for classified customers with maximum potential value of $1.4 billion.

    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.

    ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION - (UNAUDITED)

    DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS



    (a)     

    Debt-to-equity ratio is calculated as total debt divided by total equity as of year end.

    (b)     

    Book value per share is calculated as total equity divided by total outstanding shares as of year end.

    (c)     

    Includes independent research and development and Aerospace product-development costs.

    (d)     

    Return on sales is calculated as net earnings divided by revenue.

    (e)     

    Return on equity is calculated by dividing net earnings by our average total equity during the year. Average total equity is calculated using

    the total equity balance at the end of the preceding year and the total equity balances at the end of each of the four quarters of the year

    presented.

    (f)     

    We define free cash flow as net cash from operating activities less capital expenditures. 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.

    (g)     

    We believe return on invested capital (ROIC) is a useful measure for investors because it reflects our ability to generate returns from the

    capital we have deployed in our operations. We use ROIC to evaluate investment decisions and as a performance measure in evaluating

    management. We define ROIC as net operating profit after taxes divided by average invested capital. Net operating profit after taxes is

    defined as net earnings plus after-tax interest and amortization expense, calculated using the statutory federal income tax rate. Average

    invested capital is defined as the sum of the average debt and average shareholders' equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive

    loss. Average debt and average shareholders' equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive loss are calculated using the respective

    balances at the end of the preceding year and the respective balances at the end of each of the four quarters of the year presented. ROIC

    excludes goodwill impairments and non-economic accounting changes as they are not reflective of company performance. 

    (h)     

    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.
