Last Twelve Months Ended March 30, 2025 Consolidated Book to Bill Ratio of 1.2 to 1 and Bookings of $1.401 Billion

SAN DIEGO, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTOS), a Technology Company in the Defense, National Security and Commercial Markets, today reported its first quarter 2025 financial results, including Revenues of $302.6 million, Operating Income of $6.6 million, Net Income attributable to Kratos of $4.5 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $26.7 million and a consolidated book to bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0.

First quarter 2025 Net Income and Operating Income includes non-cash stock compensation expense of $8.7 million, and Company-funded Research and Development (R&D) expense of $10.0 million, including efforts in our Space, Satellite, Unmanned Systems and Microwave Electronic businesses.

Kratos reported first quarter 2025 GAAP Net Income attributable to Kratos of $4.5 million and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.03, compared to GAAP Net Income attributable to Kratos of $1.3 million and GAAP Net Income per share of $0.01, for the first quarter of 2024. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) was $0.12 for the first quarter of 2025, compared to $0.11 for the first quarter of 2024.

First quarter 2025 Revenues of $302.6 million increased $25.4 million, reflecting 7.4 percent organic growth from first quarter 2024 Revenues of $277.2 million. Organic revenue growth was reported in our Unmanned Systems of 6.2 percent and KGS segment of 7.8 percent. The most notable growth in our KGS segment was in our Defense Rocket Systems, Microwave Products, and C5ISR businesses, with organic revenue growth rates ranging from 13.1 percent and 18.7 percent compared to the first quarter of 2024.

First quarter 2025 Cash Flow Used in Operations was $29.2 million, primarily reflecting the working capital requirements related to the revenue growth impacting our receivables, increases in inventories for anticipated future deliveries and ramps in production and investments we are making related to certain development initiatives in our Unmanned Systems (KUS) segment. Free Cash Flow Used in Operations for the first quarter of 2025 was $51.8 million after funding of $22.6 million of capital expenditures.

For the first quarter of 2025, KUS generated Revenues of $63.1 million and organic revenue growth of 6.2 percent, as compared to $59.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting increased target drone sales. KUS's Operating Loss was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to an Operating Loss of $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2024. KUS's Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2025 was $1.7 million, compared to $2.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, reflecting the continued impact of increased material and subcontractor and labor costs on multi-year fixed price production contracts under terms which were negotiated in 2020 and 2021 that we are unable to seek recovery and which we are unable to renegotiate until the next multi-year production lot.

KUS's book-to-bill ratio for the first quarter of 2025 was 1.8 to 1.0 and 1.3 to 1.0 for the twelve months ended March 30, 2025, with bookings of $115.0 million for the three months ended March 30, 2025, and bookings of $359.5 million for the twelve months ended March 30, 2025. Total backlog for KUS at the end of the first quarter of 2025 was $347.1 million, compared to $295.2 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

For the first quarter of 2025, Kratos' Government Solutions (KGS) segment Revenues of $239.5 million increased from Revenues of $217.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, reflecting a 7.8 percent organic growth rate, excluding the impact of the recent acquisition of certain assets of Norden Millimeter, Inc. The increased Revenues includes organic revenue growth across all KGS businesses, with the most notable growth in our C5ISR, Defense Rocket Support and Microwave Products businesses with organic revenue growth rates ranging from 13.1 percent to 18.7 percent across such businesses over the first quarter of 2024.

KGS reported Operating Income of $17.0 million in the first quarter of 2025 compared to $16.6 million in the first quarter of 2024, primarily reflecting the volume and mix in revenues. First quarter 2025 KGS Adjusted EBITDA was $25.0 million, compared to first quarter 2024 KGS Adjusted EBITDA of $23.1 million, primarily reflecting the mix in revenues and resources.

KGS reported a book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 to 1.0 for the first quarter of 2025, a book to bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for the last twelve months ended March 30, 2025 and bookings of $250.6 million and $1.041 billion for the three and last twelve months ended March 30, 2025, respectively. KGS's total backlog was $1.161 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2025, up from $1.150 billion at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024.

Kratos reported consolidated bookings of $365.6 million and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for the first quarter of 2025, and consolidated bookings of $1.401 billion and a book-to-bill ratio of 1.2 to 1.0 for the last twelve months ended March 30, 2025. Consolidated backlog was $1.508 billion on March 30, 2025, as compared to $1.445 billion on December 29, 2024. Kratos' bid and proposal pipeline was $12.6 billion at March 30, 2025, as compared to $12.4 billion at December 29, 2024. Backlog at March 30, 2025 included funded backlog of $1.174 billion and unfunded backlog of $334.5 million.

Mr. DeMarco said, "Since our last report to you, the Defense and National Security Funding and priorities environment for the industry and for Kratos has become clearer, including a government full year fiscal 2025 CRA and funding now being put in place, a potential additional $150 billion defense related 2025 Reconciliation Bill progressing and the potential for a $1 trillion fiscal 2026 U.S. National Security Budget, all increasing our confidence in Kratos' 2025 and 2026 full year financial forecasts, including approximately 10 percent and 14 percent year over year, organic revenue growth, respectively. With funding, programmatic, contractual and schedule clarity also now in place, and a 1.2 to 1.0 Q125 and last twelve months book to bill ratio, Kratos' 2025 Q3 and Q4 are forecasted to be particularly strong, as customer related predictability is expected to return. Also, importantly, Kratos being a military quality hardware and software company, with substantially all of our vendor base and supply chain being U.S. located and sourced, we expect little impact from existing or any currently contemplated tariffs."

Mr. DeMarco went on, "Kratos' Israel-based microwave electronics business is one of our Company's fastest growing, with some of the highest book to bill ratios and EBITDA margins. As planned, we are on schedule to move our production operations into our new and expanded facilities in late June to support large new programs, including air defense, missile, radar and space-related programs, we have received and expect to be successful on. The move will take a couple of weeks, and we have coordinated closely with our customers so that no contractual disruptions as a result of the move are expected. We have accounted for the potential impact to our manufacturing productivity and related financial impact of the move in our second quarter financial guidance provided today, with forecasted June revenues and EBITDA expected to be lower, and July and August higher, as we return to normal operations in July 2025."

Mr. DeMarco continued, "Important future growth areas for Kratos include, our hypersonic franchise, jet drones, jet engines and propulsion systems for missiles, drones and spacecraft, microwave electronics and C5ISR systems for air defense, missile, radar, counter UAS and other systems. Also, Kratos' National Security-focused Space and Satellite Business continues to receive increased funding and contract awards, adding to our confidence for higher expected EBITDA margins in 2026, as we begin executing on these new programs, and as our higher margin microwave and propulsion businesses continue to scale."

Mr. DeMarco concluded, "The recapitalization of strategic weapon systems and the U.S. Defense Industrial Base is providing significant, generational strategic business opportunities for Kratos. We are focused on making investments in our core business areas, in coordination with our customers and partners, to increase our market share, drive revenue growth, and increase our margins. With Kratos' unique Mil-Spec hardware and software offerings, capabilities and positioning, now is the time to build our Company and create long term, sustainable value for United States National Security and our stakeholders."

Note Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Performance Metrics

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, including organic revenue growth rates, Adjusted EPS (computed using income from continuing operations before income taxes, excluding income (loss) from discontinued operations, excluding income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interest, excluding depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation expense, acquisition and restructuring related items and other, which includes, but is not limited to, legal related items, non-recoverable rates and costs, and foreign transaction gains and losses, less the estimated impact to income taxes) and Adjusted EBITDA (which includes net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest and excludes, among other things, losses and gains from discontinued operations, acquisition and restructuring related items, stock compensation expense, foreign transaction gains and losses, and the associated margin rates). Additional non-GAAP financial measures include Free Cash Flow from Operations computed as Cash Flow from Operations less Capital Expenditures plus proceeds from sale of assets and Adjusted EBITDA related to our KUS and KGS businesses. Kratos believes this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the Company's available capital resources, the actual and forecasted operating performance of the Company's business and the Company's cash flow, excluding non-recurring items and non-cash items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures, along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, in evaluating the Company's actual and forecasted operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and investors should carefully evaluate the Company's financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations to those financial results. In addition, non-GAAP financial measures as reported by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies. As appropriate, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and information reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the Company's financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP are included in this news release.

Another Performance Metric the Company believes is a key performance indicator in our industry is our Book to Bill Ratio as it provides investors with a measure of the amount of bookings or contract awards as compared to the amount of revenues that have been recorded during the period and provides an indicator of how much of the Company's backlog is being burned or utilized in a certain period. The Book to Bill Ratio is computed as the number of bookings or contract awards in the period divided by the revenues recorded for the same period. The Company believes that the rolling or last twelve months' Book to Bill Ratio is meaningful since the timing of quarter-to-quarter bookings can vary.

Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures

Note: (1) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure defined as GAAP net income attributable to Kratos adjusted for net income
attributable to noncontrolling interest, net interest income (expense), provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense
of intangible assets, amortization of capitalized contract and development costs, stock-based compensation, acquisition and
restructuring related items and other, and foreign transaction (gain) loss.


Adjusted EBITDA as calculated by us may be calculated differently than Adjusted EBITDA for other companies. We have provided
Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is a commonly used measure of financial performance in comparable companies and is provided to
help investors evaluate companies on a consistent basis, as well as to enhance understanding of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA
should not be construed as either an alternative to net income (loss) or as an indicator of our operating performance or an alternative to cash flows
as a measure of liquidity. The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure and the basis for such adjustments are outlined below.
Please refer to the following table below that reconciles GAAP net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA.

The adjustments to calculate this non-GAAP financial measure, and the basis for such adjustments, are outlined below:

Interest income and interest expense, net. The Company receives interest income on investments and incurs interest expense on loans, capital leases and
other financing arrangements, including the amortization of issue discounts and deferred financing costs. These amounts may vary from period to period
due to changes in cash and debt balances.

Income taxes. The Company's tax expense can fluctuate materially from period to period due to tax adjustments that may not be directly related to
underlying operating performance or to the current period of operations and may not necessarily reflect the impact of utilization of our NOLs.

Depreciation. The Company incurs depreciation expense (recorded in cost of revenues and in operating expenses) related to capital assets purchased,
leased or constructed to support the ongoing operations of the business. The assets are recorded at cost or fair value and are depreciated over the estimated
useful lives of individual assets.

Amortization of intangible assets. The Company incurs amortization of intangible expense related to acquisitions it has made. These intangible assets are
valued at the time of acquisition and are amortized over the estimated useful lives.

Amortization of capitalized contract and development costs. The Company incurs amortization of previously capitalized software development and non-
recurring engineering costs related to certain targets in its Unmanned Systems, ballistic missile target and space and satellite businesses as related units are sold
or over the estimated useful life, as applicable.

Stock-based compensation expense. The Company incurs expense related to stock-based compensation included in its GAAP presentation of selling,
general and administrative expense. Although stock-based compensation is an expense of the Company and viewed as a form of compensation, these
expenses vary in amount from period to period, and are affected by market forces that are difficult to predict and are not within the control of management,
such as the market price and volatility of the Company's shares, risk-free interest rates and the expected term and forfeiture rates of the awards.
Management believes that exclusion of these expenses allows comparison of operating results to those of other companies that disclose non-GAAP
financial measures that exclude stock-based compensation.

Foreign transaction (gain) loss. The Company incurs transaction gains and losses related to transactions with foreign customers in currencies other than
the U.S. dollar. In addition, certain intercompany transactions can give rise to realized and unrealized foreign currency gains and losses.

Acquisition and transaction related items. The Company incurs transaction related costs, such as legal and accounting fees and other expenses, related to
acquisitions and divestiture activities. Management believes these items are outside the normal operations of the Company's business and are not
indicative of ongoing operating results.

Restructuring costs. The Company incurs restructuring costs for cost reduction actions which include employee termination costs, facility shut-down
related costs and lease commitment costs for unused, excess or exited facilities. Management believes that these costs are not
indicative of ongoing operating results as they are either non-recurring and/or not expected when full capacity and volumes are achieved.

Legal related items. The Company incurs costs related to pending legal settlements and other legal related matters. Management believes
these items are outside the normal operations of the Company's business and are not indicative of ongoing operating results.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in
accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other
companies. The Company expects to continue to incur expenses similar to the Adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors
should not infer from the Company's presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent, or non-recurring.

Unaudited Non-GAAP Measures
Computation of Adjusted Earnings Per Share
(in millions, except per share data)


Adjusted income from consolidated operations and adjusted income from consolidated operations per diluted common share (Adjusted EPS) are non-GAAP
measures for reporting financial performance and exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management
believes that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of the Company's underlying consolidated operations results and trends and allows
for comparability with our peer company index and industry. The Company uses these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures
to manage the Company's business and to evaluate its performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. The Company defines adjusted
income from consolidated operations before amortization of intangible assets, depreciation, stock-based compensation, foreign transaction gain/loss, and
acquisition and restructuring related items and other. The estimated impact to income taxes includes the impact to the effective tax rate, current tax provision and
deferred tax provision, and excludes the impact of discrete items, including transaction related expenses and release of valuation allowance, or benefit related to the add-backs.*
Adjusted EPS reflects adjusted income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures.

*The impact to income taxes is calculated by recasting income before income taxes to include the add-backs involved in determining Adjusted income from consolidated
operations before income taxes and recalculating the income tax provision, including current and deferred income taxes, using the Adjusted income from consolidated
operations before income taxes. The recalculation also adjusts for any discrete tax expense, including transaction related expenses and the release of valuation allowance, or
benefit related to the add-backs.
