(1) The company reports its financials in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Information about the company's use of non-GAAP financial measures, including a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is provided under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."

Revenue growth for the fourth quarter was up 13% compared to 2022. Quarterly revenues benefited from strong contribution from multi-mission advanced sensing as well as naval and ground network computing programs.

For the full year, total revenue growth was 5% compared to 2022 and reflects a several point net divestiture headwind. Growth drivers for the year were broad based and included increases on programs related to electric power and propulsion, multi-mission advanced sensing, specifically programs utilizing the company's capabilities in tactical radars, electronic warfare, tactical communications and lasers as well as naval network computing.

Higher volume drove year-over-year adjusted EBITDA growth in the fourth quarter. However, higher volumes were primarily offset by higher general and administrative expenses from increased public company costs and investments in research and development resulting in adjusted EBITDA margin contraction in Q4.

For the full year, higher volume resulted in adjusted EBITDA growth compared to 2022. However, inflationary impacts and increased general and administrative expenses (from higher public company costs and investments in research and development) were headwinds that factored into the adjusted EBITDA margin decline for the year.

Strong operating performance translated to net earnings growth of 14% compared to Q4 2022. The full year decrease in 2023 is primarily attributable to the $275 million one-time net (after tax) gain related to the divestitures of the Global Enterprise Solutions (GES) business and the Advanced Acoustics Concepts Joint Venture recorded in 2022.

Quarterly adjusted net earnings growth was 2%, which reflects a higher tax burden and increased interest expense compared to Q4 2022. For the year, adjusted net earnings increased 8% due to strong core operational performance aided by lower taxes which were offset by higher depreciation.

The increased share count from our all-stock merger with RADA impacted both diluted EPS and adjusted diluted EPS compares for the quarter and full year.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet

Net cash flow generated by operating activities was $515 million for the fourth quarter and $205 million for the full year. Consistent with the historical patterns of the business, the company generated exceptional free cash flow in the fourth quarter of $494 million and full year free cash flow was $159 million.

At year end, the balance sheet had $467 million of cash and $214 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)	Fourth Quarter		Full Year
	2023	2022	2023	2022
Bookings	$1,014	$852	$3,516	$3,156
Book-to-Bill	1.1x	1.0x	1.2x	1.2x
Backlog	$7,751	$4,269	$7,751	$4,269

The company received $1.0 billion in new funded awards during the fourth quarter and $3.5 billion for the full year. Strong customer demand for Leonardo DRS solutions in naval and ground network computing, electric power and propulsion and multi-mission advanced sensing drove bookings in the fourth quarter and the full year. Healthy, broad based demand throughout 2023 combined with the remaining seven boat contract for our Columbia Class electric power and propulsion system valued at over $3 billion resulted in a backlog increase of 82% to a record $7.8 billion.

Segment Results

Advanced Sensing and Computing ("ASC") Segment

(Dollars in millions)	Fourth Quarter						Full Year
(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022		Change		2023		2022		Change
Revenues	$605		$485		25	%	$1,831		$1,733		6	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$94		$74		27	%	$215		$199		8	%
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	15.5	%	15.3	%	20 bps		11.7	%	11.5	%	20 bps
Bookings	$614		$402				$2,307		$1,975
Book-to-Bill	1.0x		0.8x				1.3x		1.1x

The increased demand for naval and ground network computing as well as multi-domain infrared sensing systems drove bookings for ASC in the fourth quarter and 2023.

ASC revenues were up for the fourth quarter and the full year. Quarterly and full year revenues were bolstered by growth on advanced sensing programs related to tactical radars, tactical communications, lasers and electronic warfare as well naval network computing.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins increased primarily due to higher volume and better mix for the fourth quarter and full year.

Integrated Mission Systems ("IMS") Segment

(Dollars in millions)	Fourth Quarter						Full Year
(Dollars in millions)	2023		2022		Change		2023		2022		Change
Revenues	$329		$349		(6	%)	$1,021		$983		4	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$37		$46		(20	%)	$109		$119		(8	%)
Adjusted EBITDA Margin	11.2	%	13.2	%	(200) bps		10.7	%	12.1	%	(140) bps
Bookings	$400		$450				$1,209		$1,181
Book-to-Bill	1.2x		1.3x				1.2x		1.2x

IMS bookings for the fourth quarter and full year were primarily driven by strong demand for the company's electric power and propulsion technologies.

Program timing on ground systems integration efforts drove the quarterly revenue decline. For the full year, strong contribution from electric power and propulsion programs drove growth.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin declined in the fourth quarter due to lower volume and less favorable mix. For the full year, adjusted EBITDA was down and adjusted EBITDA margins contracted due to unfavorable mix and higher general and administrative costs.

2024 Guidance

Leonardo DRS is initiating 2024 guidance as specified in the table below:

Measure	2024 Guidance	2023 Results
Revenue	$2,925 million - $3,025 million	$2,826 million
Adjusted EBITDA	$365 million - $390 million	$324 million
Tax Rate	22.5%	12.5%
Diluted Shares Outstanding	268.0 million	264.2 million
Adjusted Diluted EPS	$0.74 - $0.82	$0.73

Additionally, the company expects the new coastal facility investment to increase capital expenditures for 2024 and reduce free cash flow conversion of adjusted net earnings to approximately 80% for the year.

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.

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) and gain on sale of dispositions, then in the case of adjusted EBITDA margin dividing adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
