ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leonardo DRS, Inc. (Nasdaq: DRS), a leading provider of advanced defense technologies, today reported financial results for the third quarter 2026, which ended September 30, 2026.

CEO Commentary

“Leonardo DRS delivered a strong third quarter, with 11% organic revenue growth and profitability growing even faster. Bookings exceeded $1.6 billion, representing a 1.5x book-to-bill ratio — both our strongest since becoming a public company four years ago. These results reinforce a strategy that is working — investing ahead of demand, in both differentiated capability and capacity, to help our customers maintain overmatch and enable us to scale when the mission requires it. Our record funded backlog, together with improved visibility into the fourth quarter, gives us confidence to raise and narrow our full-year revenue and profitability outlook,” said John Baylouny, President and CEO of Leonardo DRS.

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.”

The company reported 11% revenue growth in the third quarter 2026. The year-over-year growth was primarily led by programs related to tactical radars, naval power and propulsion programs and progress on our space sensing programs.

Rigorous program execution across the portfolio, favorable mix and operating leverage of greater volume drove meaningful Adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion. The strong operational performance, coupled with a lower tax rate, supported year-over-year growth in third quarter net earnings, Adjusted Net Earnings, diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities was $96 million for the third quarter. The company’s free cash flow generation was $61 million in the quarter. Both operating and free cash flow generation were lower than the third quarter 2025 due to higher cash used to fund working capital, partially offset by increased earnings.

Year to date, both operating and free cash flow remain well ahead of the prior-year period, driven by higher profitability and more efficient working capital management.

Dividends and Stock Repurchases

During the third quarter, dividends paid to stockholders totaled approximately $24 million or $0.09 per share of common stock. Today, Leonardo DRS announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock payable on November 25, 2026, to stockholders of record on November 12, 2026.

In addition, the company repurchased 288,633 shares of its common stock for approximately $12 million in the third quarter, pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program.

Balance Sheet

At the end of the third quarter, the company held $294 million of cash and had no outstanding borrowings under its credit facility. The company’s strong balance sheet provides flexibility to pursue organic and inorganic growth opportunities to create shareholder value.

Healthy demand for naval network computing and tactical radars supported ASC quarterly bookings. The segment’s revenue growth was driven primarily by programs associated with tactical radars and space sensing programs. Adjusted EBITDA and margin rose versus third quarter 2025 on strong operational delivery, favorable mix and volume leveraging.

Quarterly IMS bookings were well balanced across electric power and propulsion and force protection programs, and revenue growth reflected strength across naval power and propulsion programs. Adjusted EBITDA and margin expanded significantly over third quarter 2025, supported by operational leverage from higher volume and strong execution within electric power and propulsion programs, despite increased investment in internal research and development.

2026
Guidance

Leonardo DRS is increasing 2026 guidance for Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS based on strong year-to-date performance, as specified in the table below:


Measure

Current 2026 Guidance

Prior 2026 Guidance
Revenue $3,950 million – $3,985 million $3,900 million – $3,975 million
Adjusted EBITDA $545 million – $555 million $525 million – $540 million
Tax Rate 13.0
%
16.5
%
Diluted WASO 269.0 million 269.0 million
Adjusted Diluted EPS $1.50 – $1.53 $1.34 – $1.39
     

The guidance excludes the pending acquisition of Raft LLC (“Raft”).

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 October 29, 2026 to discuss the financial results for its third quarter 2026.

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.

any conflict of interest that may arise because Leonardo US Holding, LLC, our majority stockholder, or Leonardo S.p.A., our indirect majority stockholder, may have interests that are different from, or conflict with, those of our other stockholders, including as a result of any ongoing business relationships Leonardo S.p.A. may have with us and their significant ownership in us may discourage change of control transactions (our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we waive any interest or expectancy in corporate opportunities presented to Leonardo S.p.A.); or our obligations to provide certain services to Leonardo S.p.A., which may divert human and financial resources from our business.

You should read this press release completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations.

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,” “Segment Adjusted EBITDA,” “Segment 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, net 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, executive transition costs and foreign exchange impacts), then in the case of Adjusted EBITDA Margin dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
