Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “strives,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report and include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, financial goals, financial position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects, strategies or expectations, and the impact of prevailing economic conditions.
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. In addition, even if future performance and outcomes are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation:
•Disruptions or deteriorations in our relationship with the relevant agencies of the U.S. government, as well as any failure to pass routine audits or otherwise comply with governmental requirements including those related to security clearance or procurement rules, including the False Claims Act;
i
•Significant delays or reductions in appropriations for our programs and changes in U.S. government priorities and spending levels more broadly;

•Our dependence on U.S. government contracts, which often are only partially funded and are subject to immediate termination, and the concentration of our customer base in the U.S. defense industry;
•Our use of estimates in pricing and accounting for many of our programs that are inherently uncertain and which may not prove to be accurate;
•Our ability to realize the full value of our backlog;
•Our ability to predict future capital needs or to obtain additional financing if we need it;
•Our ability to compete efficiently, including due to U.S. government organizational conflict of interest rules which may limit new contract opportunities or require us to wind down existing contracts;
•Our relationships with other industry participants, including any contractual disputes or the inability of our key suppliers to timely deliver our components, parts or services;
•Any failure to meet our contractual obligations including due to potential impacts to our business from supply chain risks, such as longer lead times and shortages of electronics and other components;
•Any security breach, including any cyber attack, cyber intrusion, insider threat, or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems as well as any act of terrorism or other threat to our physical security and personnel;
•Our ability to fully exploit or obtain patents or other intellectual property protections necessary to secure our proprietary technology, including our ability to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property of third parties or prevent third parties from infringing upon our own intellectual property;
•The conduct of our employees, agents, affiliates, subcontractors, suppliers, business partners or joint ventures in which we participate which may impact our reputation and ability to do business;
•Our compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and any environmental liabilities that may affect our reputation or financial position;
•The outcome of litigation, arbitration, investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions and other legal proceedings in which we are involved;
•Various geopolitical and economic factors, laws and regulations including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), the Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”), the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), and those that we are exposed to as a result of our international business;
•Our ability to obtain export licenses necessary to conduct certain operations abroad, including any attempts by Congress to prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments;
•Our ability to attract and retain technical and other key personnel;
•The occurrence of prolonged work stoppages;
ii
•The unavailability or inadequacy of our insurance coverage, customer indemnifications or other liability protections to cover all of our significant risks or to pay for material losses we incur;
•Future changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof;
•Changes in estimates used in accounting for our pension plans, including in respect of the funding status thereof;
•Changes in future business or other market conditions that could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill or other long-term assets to become impaired;
•Adverse consequences from any acquisitions such as operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences or any modification, delay or prevention of any future acquisition or investment activity by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”);
•Natural disasters or other significant disruptions; or
•Any conflict of interest that may arise because Leonardo US Holding, Inc. (“US Holding”), our sole shareholder, or Leonardo S.p.A., our ultimate parent, may have interests that are different from those of our other shareholders, 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.
You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this filing , and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.
Other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022 (our “Annual Report”), could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. Readers should read carefully the discussion of these factors to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A.Organization
Leonardo DRS, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (hereinafter, “DRS,” “the Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) is a supplier of defense electronics products, systems and military support services. The Company is controlled by Leonardo S.p.A (hereinafter, “Leonardo S.p.A.,” or “the Parent”), an Italian multi-national aerospace, defense and security company headquartered in Rome, Italy, through its direct sole ownership of Leonardo US Holding, Inc. (“US Holding”). US Holding is the direct and sole shareholder of the Company.
DRS is a provider of defense products and technologies that are used across land, air, sea, space and cyber domains. Our diverse array of defense systems and solutions are offered to all branches of the U.S. military, major aerospace and defense prime contractors, government intelligence agencies, international military customers and industrial markets for deployment on a wide range of military platforms. We focus our capabilities in areas of critical importance to the U.S. military, such as sensing, electronic warfare (“EW”), network computing and communications, force protection and electrical power conversion and propulsion.
These capabilities directly align with our two reportable segments: Advanced Sensing and Computing and Integrated Mission Systems. The U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”) is our largest customer and accounts for approximately 78 % and 82 % of our total revenues as an end-user for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, and 85 22 % and 18 % of our total revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, and 15 Our two reportable segments reflect the way performance is assessed and resources are allocated by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).
Advanced Sensing and Computing (“ASC”)
The ASC segment provides sensing and computing systems and subsystem solutions to the U.S. military and allied nations focused on solving the most complex threat dynamics facing our service men and women today. We provide world class sensing products in all warfighting domains along with the computation systems to provide situational understanding.
Our technologies and products are deployed on nearly all military platforms across land, sea, air, cyberspace, and space on individual soldiers, ground vehicles, ships, aircraft, and satellites. We have market leading capabilities in electro-optic and infrared imaging, advanced lasers, electronic warfare and cyber, communications, and computing in these domains.
Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”)
The IMS segment provides critical force protection, platform integration, transportation and logistics and power conversion and propulsion systems to the U.S. military and its allies. Our force protection systems provide much needed protection for our service members and military assets from evolving and proliferating threats and include advanced solutions for counter-unmanned aerial systems, short-range air defense systems and active protection systems on ground vehicles. Additionally, we provide power conversion and propulsion systems for the U.S. Navy’s top priority shipbuilding programs, building on our legacy of providing power components and systems for nearly all naval combat vessels for three decades, positioning us to continue as a leading provider of electrical ship propulsion systems and components for the U.S. Navy and its allies.

See Note 15: Segment Information for further information regarding our business segments.
B.Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of DRS, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlling interests. Interests in joint ventures that are controlled by the Company, or for which the Company is otherwise deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are consolidated. For joint ventures in which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but exerts significant influence, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Interim Financial Statements. The unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These rules and regulations permit some of the information and footnote disclosures included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to be condensed or omitted.
These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 2, 2022.

or tax credits from subsequent taxable years. Under the agreement, the parties have agreed to calculate and allocate their respective tax liabilities and other tax attributes for taxable years beginning with the first consolidated taxable year that included DRS (i.e., the taxable year ended December 31, 2008) as if the agreement was then in effect.
We calculate the provision for incomes taxes during interim periods by applying an estimate of our annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pretax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items).
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Income taxes as presented attribute deferred income taxes of US Holding to DRS in a manner that is systematic, rational and consistent with the asset and liability method and the governing Tax Allocation Agreement which allocates the tax liability amongst the entities, including DRS.
The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of DRS’ assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when such changes are enacted.
In general, the taxable income of DRS is included in the consolidated U.S. federal and state tax returns of US Holding. Where applicable, US Holding’s current portion of U.S. federal income taxes payable were offset against DRS’ net operating loss carryforwards in the period the related tax expense was recorded. Consequently, our net operating loss carryforwards are deemed to have been settled with US Holding in each year in an amount commensurate with the carrying value of the tax effected net operating loss utilized.
If management determines that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset is not “more likely than not” to be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded as a component of the income tax provision to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amounts expected to be realized. In determining whether the Company’s deferred tax assets are realizable, management considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the history of financial reporting earnings, existing taxable temporary differences and their projected reversals, as well as projected future income and tax planning strategies. We believe it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize our deferred tax assets, subject to the valuation allowances recognized.
The Company assesses its tax positions for all periods open to examination by tax authorities based on the latest available information. Those positions are evaluated to determine whether they will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are not material.
See Note 9: Income Taxes for additional information regarding income taxes.

R.Fair Value Measurements

LEONARDO DRS, INC.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three hierarchical levels used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
S.Financial Instruments
T.Acquisitions, Investments and Variable Interest Entities
Acquisitions
Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of acquired businesses from the date of acquisition. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that any assets acquired and liabilities assumed be measured at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. The accounting for business combinations requires the Company to make significant judgments and estimates. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.
As previously announced, on June 21, 2022, we entered into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 21, 2022 (the “merger agreement”), by and among the Company, RADA Electronic Industries Ltd (“RADA”) and Blackstart Ltd, a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel and a wholly owned subsidiary of DRS (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the merger agreement, and in accordance with the Companies Law, 5759-1999, of the State of Israel, at the effective time of the merger contemplated by the merger agreement (the “merger”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into RADA, with RADA as the surviving company of the merger and thereby becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of DRS. At the effective time of the merger (the “effective time”), each ordinary share of RADA, par value New Israeli Shekel 0.03 per share (“RADA shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time will be converted into and become exchangeable for one share of common stock of DRS, par value $0.01 per share (“DRS common stock”). Immediately prior to the effective time, the shares of DRS common stock held by US Holding, the current sole stockholder of DRS, will be split (rounded up to the nearest whole share), as necessary, such that, immediately following the effective time and the issuance of the shares of DRS common stock to holders of RADA shares and the treatment of options to purchase RADA shares: (A) US Holding will hold 80.5 % of the issued and outstanding shares of DRS common stock on a fully diluted basis (with US Holding’s ownership percentage including 50 % of any awards or other equity interests that DRS may issue pursuant to entitlements under any grants of certain one-time special awards of restricted stock units (the “One-Time Awards”) and the foregoing percentage calculation excluding any awards or other equity interests that DRS may issue pursuant to entitlements under the DRS’s long term incentive plan and 50 % of any awards or other equity interests that DRS may issue pursuant to entitlements in

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
connection with any grants of One-Time Awards, and such foregoing percentage will assume a reference price for RADA options equal to the volume-weighted average price of the RADA shares on the NASDAQ for the ten trading days immediately prior to the closing date); and (B) the holders of RADA shares, RADA vested options and RADA unvested options (or DRS options issued pursuant to the provisions of the merger agreement) will hold or have entitlements to 19.5 % of the issued and outstanding shares of DRS common stock on a fully diluted basis (the foregoing percentage calculation excluding any awards or other equity interests that DRS may issue pursuant to entitlements under the DRS long-term incentive plan or the issuance of any One-Time Awards).
Each of DRS’s and RADA’s obligation to consummate the merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions specified in the merger agreement.
The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022. On August 3, 2022, we filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC for the shares of DRS common stock to be issued in the merger, which has not yet been declared effective by the SEC.
Investments
Investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Significant influence typically exists if we have a 20% to 50% ownership interest in the investee. Under this method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is included in operating profit in other income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings since the activities of the investee are closely aligned with the operations of the business segment holding the investment. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is therefore recorded during the current period.
The Company’s cost method investment consists of an investment in a private company in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and financial activities. Management evaluates this investment for possible impairment quarterly.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company occasionally forms joint ventures and/or enters into arrangements with special purpose limited liability companies for the purpose of bidding and executing on specific projects. The Company analyzes each such arrangement to determine whether it represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the arrangement is determined to be a VIE, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and if it is, consequently required to consolidate the VIE. The Company did not have any investment in VIEs for the periods presented.
Divestitures / Held for Sale
On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Global Enterprise Solutions (“GES”) business to SES Government Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES S.A., for $450 million in cash. The transaction was completed on August 1, 2022 and resulted in proceeds of $427 million. We are in the process of finalizing the accounting for the transaction and will report the gain on the transaction in the third quarter. GES, which was part of the ASC segment, provides commercial satellite communications to the U.S. Government and delivers satellite communications and security solutions to customers worldwide. SES S.A. has guaranteed the payment of the purchase price and performance of all other obligations of SES Government Solutions, Inc. under the agreement. As of June 30, 2022, the assets and liabilities related to GES were reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Held for Sale.
In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the strategic initiative to divest of the Company’s interest in Advanced Acoustic Concepts (“AAC”). On April 19, 2022, we entered into a definitive sales agreement to divest our share of our equity investment in AAC for $56 million to Thales Defense & Security, Inc., the minority partner in the joint venture. The transaction was completed on July 8, 2022 and resulted in proceeds of

$56 million. We are in the process of finalizing the accounting for the transaction and will report the gain on the transaction in the third quarter. As of June 30, 2022, the Investment was reported as Held for Sale.
The proceeds generated from the GES and AAC divestitures resulted in a $396 million dividend to Leonardo US Holdings, our sole shareholder. The $396 million represents the proceeds generated net of our costs to sell and estimated tax obligations. The dividend was issued on August 5, 2022
Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Company recognizes revenue for each separately identifiable performance obligation in a contract representing an obligation to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. In most cases, goods and services provided under the Company’s contracts are accounted for as single performance obligations due to the complex and integrated nature of our products and services. These contracts generally require significant integration of a group of goods and/or services to deliver a combined output. In some contracts, the Company provides multiple distinct goods or services to a customer. In those cases, the Company accounts for the distinct contract deliverables as separate performance obligations and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is generally estimated using cost plus a reasonable margin. We classify revenues as products or services on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings based on the predominant attributes of the performance obligations. While the Company provides warranties on certain contracts, we typically do not provide for services beyond standard assurances and therefore do not consider warranties to be separate performance obligations. Typically we enter into three types of contracts: fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts and T&M contracts (cost-plus contracts and T&M contracts are aggregated below as flexibly priced contracts). The majority of our total revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts; refer to the revenue disaggregation disclosures that follow.
For fixed-price contracts, customers agree to pay a fixed amount, negotiated in advanced for a specified scope of work.
For cost-plus contracts typically we are reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined total costs (defined as cost of revenues plus allowable general and administrative expenses) incurred, plus a fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness. In addition, costs are generally subject to review by clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract.
T&M contracts provide for reimbursement of labor hours expended at a contractual fixed labor rate per hour, plus the actual costs of material and other direct non-labor costs. The fixed labor rates on T&M contracts include amounts for the cost of direct labor, indirect contract costs and profit.
Estimating the transaction price for an arrangement requires judgment and is based on expected results which are determined using the Company’s historical data. We estimate that the revenue that we expect to be entitled to receive from a customer to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control over the good or service to the customer, which may occur either over time or at a point in time.
Revenues for the majority of our contracts are measured as determined by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion (the "cost-to-cost method"). We believe this is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion and total transaction price often requires judgment. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance.

EAC adjustments had the following impacts to revenue for the periods presented:

| Revenue | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | $ | ( | |||||||||||||||
| Total % of Revenue | % | % | % | % | |||||||||||||||||||
The impacts noted above are attributed primarily to changes in our firm-fixed-price type programs. They consist of changes in the designs required to achieve contractual specifications for fixed priced development programs and inflationary impacts on certain naval production programs that resulted in a change in the programs’ estimate and related profitability. The reduction to revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was attributed primarily to certain cost impacts on surface ship programs within our IMS segment and inflationary pressures on naval programs within our ASC segment.
Conversely, if the requirements for the recognition of contracts over time are not met, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is generally upon transfer of title. In such cases, the production that is in progress and costs that will be recognized at a future point in time are reported within "inventories".
Costs to obtain a contract are incremental direct costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer, including sales commissions and dealer fees, and are capitalized if material. Costs to fulfill a contract include costs directly related to a contract or specific anticipated contract (e.g., certain design costs) that generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. These costs are capitalized to the extent they are expected to be recovered from the associated contract.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities.

Revenue recognized in the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each period was $33 million and $107 million, respectively.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
The change in the balances of the Company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily results from timing differences between revenue recognition and customer billings and/or payments.
Contract assets related to amounts withheld by customers until contract completion are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because the intent is to protect the customers from our failure to satisfactorily complete our performance obligations. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition (contract liabilities) are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because they are utilized to pay for contract costs within a one-year period or are requested by us to ensure the customers meet their payment obligations.
Value of Remaining Performance Obligations
The value of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as total backlog, includes the following components:
•Funded - Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.
•Unfunded - Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of firm orders for products and services under existing contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated less funding previously recognized on these contracts.
The following table summarizes the value of our total backlog as of June 30, 2022, incorporating both funded and unfunded components:

________________
(1)The Company’s debt with related parties consists of two term loans and a working capital credit facility with US Holding, as described below.
Term Loans
In January 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with its ultimate parent company, Finmeccanica S.p.A. (presently Leonardo S.p.A.) in the amount of $2 billion (the “2009 Credit Agreement”). The 2009 Credit Agreement was subsequently assigned to US Holding and has a maturity of November 30, 2023. The 2009 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan bearing interest at a rate of 7.5 %, with interest payments due semi-annually on June 20 and December 20 in each year (the “7.5 % Term loan”). The outstanding balance of the 7.5 % Term loan at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $139 142 million and $182 million, respectively; however, the Company has the ability to prepay the outstanding principal balance at the carrying amount without penalty.
In June 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan with US Holding in the principal amount of $137.5 million, the proceeds of which were used to finance the acquisition of Daylight Solutions, Inc. (the “Daylight

Term Loan”). The Daylight Term Loan had an outstanding balance of $78 81 million and $84 million, respectively. The Daylight Term Loan matures on October 15, 2024. The Daylight Term Loan has an interest rate of 5.0 %, with interest payments due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15.
Credit Facilities
The 2009 Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility available for working capital needs of the Company (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility had a credit limit of $450 3.5 0.25 % applied to the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility and there are no compensating balance requirements. The outstanding balance as of June 30, 2022 was $110 million and there was no balance on the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021.
The Company also maintains uncommitted working capital credit facilities with certain financial institutions in the aggregate of $65 15 million, which bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.5 %. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was no 31 million and $35 million as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which reduces the available capacity of the Financial Institution Credit Facilities by an equal amount.

Note 11. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits
Retirement Plan Summary Information
The Company maintains multiple pension plans, both contributory and non-contributory, covering employees at certain locations. Eligibility requirements for participation in the plans vary, and benefits generally are based on the participant's compensation and years of service, as defined in the respective plan. The Company's funding policy generally is to contribute in accordance with cost accounting standards that affect government contractors, subject to the Tax Code and regulations thereunder. Plan assets are invested primarily in equities, bonds (both corporate and U.S. government), U.S. government-sponsored entity instruments, cash and cash equivalents and real estate.
The Company also provides postretirement medical benefits for certain retired employees and dependents at certain locations. Participants are eligible for these benefits when they retire from active service and meet the eligibility requirements for the Company's postretirement benefit plans. The Company's contractual arrangements with the U.S. government provide for the recovery of contributions to a Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association (“VEBA”) trust and, for non-funded plans, recovery of claims on a pay-as-you-go basis, subject to the Tax Code and regulations thereunder, with the retiree generally paying a portion of the costs through contributions, deductibles and coinsurance provisions.
The Company also maintains certain non-contributory and unfunded supplemental retirement plans. Eligibility for participation in the supplemental retirement plans is limited, and benefits generally are based on the participant's compensation and/or years of service.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company’s commitments are primarily related to our lease and credit agreements.
Contingencies
From time to time we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. These matters are subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of these matters ultimately could be decided, resolved or settled in a manner adverse to us. Although the precise amount of liability that may result from these matters is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any amounts exceeding the Company's recorded accruals should not materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and/or cash flows from operating activities for a particular reporting period. We establish reserves for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable.
Some environmental laws, such as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (also known as “CERCLA” or the “Superfund law”) and similar state statutes, can impose liability upon former owners or operators for the entire cost of investigating and remediating contaminated sites regardless of the lawfulness of the original activities that led to the contamination. In July 2000, an entity which later became a subsidiary of the Company received a Section 104(e) Request for Information (“RFI”) from the National Park Service (“NPS”), pursuant to CERCLA, regarding the presence of radioactive material at a site within a national park, which site was operated by an alleged predecessor to our subsidiary over 50 years ago. Following the subsidiary’s response to the RFI, the NPS directed it and another alleged former operator to perform an Engineering Evaluation and Cost Analysis (“EE/CA”) of a portion of the site. The Company’s subsidiary made a good faith offer to conduct an alternative EE/CA work plan, but the NPS rejected this offer and opted to perform the EE/CA itself. The NPS previously posted its intention to open a formal public comment period regarding the EE/CA at the end of 2019. To the Company’s knowledge, the EE/CA has not been released and a public comment period has yet to be opened.
Following completion of the EE/CA, the NPS may seek reimbursement for its investigative and remedial efforts to date, or direct one or more of the potentially responsible parties to perform any remediation that may be required by CERCLA or may enter an alternative dispute resolution proceeding to attempt to resolve each party’s share. In addition, the NPS may seek to recover damages for loss of use of certain natural resources. The Company believes that it has legitimate defenses to its subsidiary’s potential liability and that there are other potentially responsible parties for the environmental conditions at the site, including the U.S. government as owner, operator and arranger at the site. The potential liability associated with this matter could change substantially due to such factors as additional information on the nature or extent of contamination, methods of remediation that might be recommended or required, changes in the apportionment of costs among the responsible parties, whether the NPS seeks to recover additional damages, whether the NPS’s plans to investigate additional areas to identify a need for further remedial action for which the Company may be identified as a potentially responsible party and other actions by governmental agencies or private parties.
The Company has recorded its best estimate of damages and its share of remediation costs related to the site to reflect what we and our advisors reasonably believe we would be liable for based on the current information and circumstances of the claim, exclusive of other potential liabilities that may be asserted in the future.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
In the performance of our contracts we routinely request contract modifications that require additional funding from the customer. Most often, these requests are due to customer-directed changes in the scope of work. While we are entitled to recovery of these costs under our contracts, the administrative process with our customer may be protracted. Based on the circumstances, we periodically file requests for equitable adjustment (“REAs”) that are sometimes converted into claims. In some cases, these requests are disputed by our customer. We believe our outstanding modifications, REAs and other claims will be resolved without material impact to our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
As a government contractor, with customers including the U.S. government as well as various state and local government entities, the Company may be subject to audits, investigations and claims with respect to its contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations and procurement practices. Additionally, amounts billed under such contracts, including direct and indirect costs, are subject to potential adjustments before final settlement.
Management believes that adequate provisions for such potential audits, investigations, claims and contract adjustments, if any, have been made in the financial statements.
Product Warranties
Product warranty costs generally are accrued in proportion to product revenue realized in conjunction with our over-time revenue recognition policy. Product warranty expense is recognized based on the term of the product warranty, generally one year to three years , and the related estimated costs, considering historical claims expense. Accrued warranty costs are reduced as these costs are incurred and as the warranty period expires, and otherwise may be modified as specific product performance issues are identified and resolved. The following is a summary of changes in the product warranty balances during the period ended June 30, 2022:

The Company entered into a Surplus Treasury Agreement with US Holding (the “Surplus Agreement”) in December 2019. The Surplus Agreement allows the Company to advance excess funds to US Holding when funds are available. The advances bear interest at LIBOR plus between 5 and 20 basis points depending on the tenor of the advance. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company did not advance any amount to US Holding.
The Company entered into Tax Allocation Agreement with US Holding, dated as of November 16, 2020. Refer to Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more information.
Note 15. Segment Information
Operating segments represent components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM and he uses a variety of measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, depending on the nature of the activity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s operating and reportable segments were revised into two reportable segments, ASC and IMS, to align our market strategy and capital allocation decision making with our operating structure. Prior year information was revised to reflect the new segment structure. All other operations, which consists primarily of DRS Corporate Headquarters and certain non-operating subsidiaries of the Company, are grouped in Corporate & Eliminations.
We primarily use Adjusted EBITDA to manage the Company and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA of our business segments includes our net earnings before income taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructuring costs, interest, transaction costs related to an anticipated offering of securities, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, foreign exchange, COVID-19 response costs, non-service pension expenditures and other one-time non-operational events. Adjusted EBITDA is used to facilitate a comparison of the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our operations on a consistent basis from period to period and provide an additional understanding of factors and trends affecting our business segments. This measure assists the CODM in assessing segment operating performance consistently over time without the impact of our capital structure, asset base and items outside the control of the management team and expenses that do not relate to our core operations.
Certain information related to our segments for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 is presented in the following tables. Consistent accounting policies have been applied by all segments within the Company, within all reporting periods. A description of our reportable segments as of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 has been included in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Transactions between segments generally are negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions that are similar to other government and commercial contracts; however, these intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Total revenues and intersegment revenues by segment for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and, June 30, 2021 consists of the following:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read this discussion together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.
This discussion and other parts of this Quarterly Report include forward-looking statements such as those relating to our plans, objectives, expectations and beliefs, which involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under “Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Information” and Part II, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report, and under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year end December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Business Overview and Considerations
General
DRS is a leading provider of defense products and technologies that provide battlefield superiority today while shaping the battlefield of tomorrow for the U.S. military and our allies abroad. We offer a broad portfolio of products and services in our core technologies including advanced sensing, network computing, force protection, and electric power conversion and propulsion. Our leadership positions in these markets have created a foundational base of programs within the DoD that has yielded five straight years of organic revenue growth. We believe these technologies will not only support our Armed Services in today’s mission but will also underpin the DoD’s strategy to migrate towards more autonomous, dynamic, interconnected, and multi-domain capabilities needed to win in tomorrow’s battlefield We expect that the DoD’s focus on effectively countering growing peer threats from China and Russia while simultaneously pursuing a counter-terrorism strategy against asymmetrical organizations and actors will increase its reliance on the core technologies that DRS provides, reinforcing our position in our high growth markets.
Our overall strategy is to be a balanced and diversified company, less vulnerable to any one budgetary platform or service decision with a specific focus on establishing strong technical and market positions in areas of priority for the U.S. Department of Defense (“DoD”). The DoD is our largest customer. For the second quarter and first six months of 2022, the DoD accounted for approximately 78% and 82%, respectively, of our business as an end-user. The revenues for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 are principally derived directly or indirectly from contracts with the U.S. Army, which represented 33% and 33%, respectively, and the U.S. Navy, which represented 29% and 32%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue, in each case consistent with historic trends.
Our operations and reporting are structured into the following two technology driven segments based on the capabilities and solutions offered to our customers:
Advanced Sensing and Computing (“ASC”): Our Advanced Sensing and Computing segment is organized to provide equipment that enables the capture and communication of value battlefield information necessary to ensure our armed forces are equipped with real-time intelligence required to deliver enhanced decision making and execution in theater. From leading long-range sensing capabilities, expanding our reach, to rugged, trusted, and cyber resilient computing, our ASC products provide our customers with the ability to be successful in their mission.
Our ASC segment provides ground vehicle systems including third generation infrared, long-range threat detection, situational awareness, targeting and vehicle protection. Additionally, we offer a full complement of soldier systems, including next generation sensors, targeting systems and optics to improve infantry combat effectiveness. Our sensing technologies also support aircraft survivability through advanced two-color infrared sensors and our quantum cascade lasers which detect and protect aircraft from missile attacks.
In addition to our optical sensing systems, we utilize state of the art technology in EW and cyber systems to provide our customers integrated capabilities for multi-domain operations to supplement kinetic warfare. Our
29
mounted and dismounted EW systems and intelligence solutions across a broad range of platforms bring world-class capability to our customers.
Our sensing capabilities are complemented by our network computing and communications products. We are the leading global supplier of battle management systems and mounted computing hardware for ground forces worldwide. For the U.S. and allied naval customers, we provide naval computing systems and networks, shipboard communications, radar, surface ship and submarine combat and command and control systems.
Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”): Our Integrated Mission Systems segment consists of both land and naval system integration capabilities. The IMS segment provides critical force protection, vehicle integration, transportation and logistics and electrical control, distribution and conversion, and ship propulsion systems to the U.S. military and allied forces.
Our force protection systems provide protection for our service members and military assets from evolving threats and include advanced solutions for counter-unmanned aerial systems, short-range air defense systems and active protection systems on ground vehicles. We have military transportation and logistics offerings and ground vehicle integration capabilities to support U.S. forces in a wide range of operational environments.
Additionally, we provide power conversion and propulsion systems for the U.S. Navy’s top priority shipbuilding programs, building on our legacy of providing power components and systems for nearly all naval combat vessels for three decades, positioning us to continue as a leading provider of electrical ship propulsion systems and components for the U.S. Navy.
Focus on Customer and Execution
DRS and its employees focus on our end-customers – the men and women of the armed forces in the U.S. and its allies. We seek to provide high-quality equipment and services to support their mission success. We strive for excellence in everything we do, in every job in our Company, in order to satisfy our customers’ needs embedded in our contractual commitments. We seek to ensure that we learn from every lesson experienced in our Company and insist that these lessons affect all elements of our businesses. This approach permeates through the Company with a focus on continuous improvement at every level.
Part of this learning has resulted in institutionalizing our continuous improvement process through our Operational Excellence initiative called “Always Performing For Excellence,” or “APEX,” program. The APEX program’s goal is to strive for continuous improvement through unification of our business practices, tools and metrics, ongoing employee training and innovation. We believe that excellence is not a destination, but by constantly challenging ourselves to be better, we will improve, and ultimately approach excellence. We challenge ourselves to exceed our customers’ expectations and we partner with them to work to ensure that our execution meets their needs.
Continuous improvement, through the APEX program also allows us to improve our efficiency, which contributes to increased margins, helps us to remain competitive and allows us to make strategic investments, all while maintaining our focus on customer satisfaction. In these elements, our goals are aligned with those of our customers. We are humbled by the dedication and sacrifice that our ultimate customers have made to serve and we work to perform for them with excellence in everything we do.
Impacts of COVID-19 On Our Business
The coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has caused significant disruptions to national and global economies and government activities since March 2020. We continue to closely monitor COVID-related impacts on all aspects of our business and geographies, including on our workforce, supply chain and customers.
The United States has taken several steps to respond to the pandemic. On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced a COVID-19 action plan, including an executive order, the Safer Workforce Task Force guidance issued on September 24, 2021 and the DoD’s Force Health Protection guidance. This executive order and guidance (as amended) contained a clause that required covered federal contractors and subcontractors to implement federally required vaccine mandates. This clause was implemented into several of our applicable federal contracts. In light of
30
certain of certain court orders, however, the Office of Management and Budget has stated that the U.S Government will not take action to enforce this clause until further notice. If ultimately upheld, this federal contract requirement may impact several of our contracts. We are continuing to evaluate these evolving requirements, especially as our customers determine when and how to implement the potential contractual requirements. We cannot at this stage predict the various impacts they may have on our workforce, our suppliers, or our company. These evolving government requirements, along with broader impacts of the continuing pandemic, could impact our workforce and performance, as well as those of our suppliers
We continue to follow the practice started in the first quarter of 2022 that any remaining additional costs to operate our business in response to the COVID-19 environment should be reported as part of our normal business operations and not separately identified as an adjustment to EBITDA. In addition to the challenges that COVID-19 is presenting to the industry and our Company, significant adverse supply chain disruptions continue throughout the industry and for the Company, including delays in the receipt and delivery of materials,
Business Environment
Revenues derived directly, as a prime contractor, or indirectly, as a subcontractor, from contracts with the U.S. government represented 78% and 82% of our consolidated revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively, and 85% and 86% of our consolidated revenue for the second quarter and first six months of 2021. Of these sales directly to the U.S. government, the Army and Navy are our largest customers. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022, U.S. government sales with the U.S. Army represented 33% and 33% and U.S. government sales with the U.S. Navy represented 29% and 32%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2021, U.S. government sales with the U.S. Army represented 31% and 38% and U.S. government sales with the U.S. Navy represented 32% and 31%, respectively, of our consolidated revenue.
The Second Quarter was highlighted by congressional defense committee work on Fiscal Year 2023 (“FY 23”) authorization and appropriations legislation following the President’s FY23 budget release in the first quarter of the calendar year. The first committee to act was the Senate Armed Services Committee making up their version in closed session of the FY23 National Defense Authorization Act. Next, the House Defense Appropriations Committee completed work on their version of FY23 appropriations legislation. Finally, the House Armed Services Committee considered their authorization legislation passing it in full committee. This bill likely be brought to the full House in the third quarter.
In February 2022, Russian forces invaded Ukraine. In response, the United States and several other countries imposed economic and trade sanctions, export controls and other restrictions targeting Russia and Belarus. The conflict and these sanctions have caused disruptions to global economies and some global businesses, including heightened cybersecurity risks, supply chain challenges, increased energy costs, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, as well as an exacerbation of existing inflationary pressures. In addition, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has created some potential supply chain challenges for our Company and our suppliers, which we will continue to monitor and manage.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict may also impact the FY23 U.S. government defense budget due to the heightened national security threat. Internationally, many countries in the region have expressed a renewed commitment to defense-related spending. As a result, we may see additional demand for our products and services.
Key Financial and Operating Measures
Overview
We measure our business using both key financial and operating data including key performance indicators (“KPIs”) and non-GAAP financial measures and use the following metrics to manage our business, monitor results of operations and ensure proper allocation of capital: (i) Revenue, (ii) Bookings, (iii) Backlog, (iv) Adjusted EBITDA, (v) Adjusted EBITDA Margin, (vi) Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and (vii) Free Cash Flow. We
31
believe that these financial performance metrics represent the primary drivers of value enhancement, balancing both short and long-term indicators of increased shareholder value. These are the metrics we use to measure our results and evaluate our business and related contract performance. See “—Results from Operations” for further detail.

Bookings - We define bookings as the total value of contract awards received from the U.S. government for which it has appropriated funds and legally obligated such funds to the Company through a contract or purchase order, plus the value of contract awards and orders received from customers other than the U.S. government.
Backlog - We define Backlog to include the following components:
(1)Funded - Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts.
(2)Unfunded - Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of firm orders for products and services under existing contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated less funding previously recognized on these contracts.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Quarterly Report 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 U.S. 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
32
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 - We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net earnings before income taxes, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, restructuring costs, interest, transaction costs related to an anticipated offering of securities, acquisition and divestiture related expenses, foreign exchange, COVID-19 response costs, non-service pension expenditures and other one-time non-operational events. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenue. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are not measures calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and they should not be considered an alternative to any financial measures that were calculated under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are used to facilitate a comparison of the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our operations on a consistent basis from period to period and provide an additional understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are driven by changes in volume, performance, contract mix and general and administrative expenses and investment levels. Performance, as used in this definition, refers to changes in profitability and is primarily based on adjustments to estimates at completion on individual contracts. These adjustments result from increases or decreases to the estimated value of the contract, the estimated costs to complete the contract, or both. These measures therefore assist management and our board and may be useful to investors in comparing our operating performance consistently over time as they remove the impact of our capital structure, asset base and items outside the control of the management team and expenses that do not relate to our core operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies as other companies may have calculated the measures differently. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) is provided below:

Adjusted EPS – We calculate Adjusted EPS by excluding transaction costs related to an anticipated offering of securities, acquisition and divestiture related expenses and COVID-19 response costs from our net earnings (loss) to arrive at Adjusted EPS. We believe that Adjusted EPS allows investors to effectively compare our core performance from period to period by excluding items that are not indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations such as our capital structure, significant non-cash expenses, the impacts of financing decisions on earnings, and items incurred outside the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our business. Adjusted EPS has limitations as an analytical tool and does not represent, and should not be considered an alternative to basic or diluted EPS as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Free Cash Flow – We define free cash flow as the sum of the cash flows provided by operating activities and the cash flows provided by (used in) investment activities pertaining to capital expenditures and proceeds generated from the sale of capital assets.
We believe that free cash flow provides management and investors with an important measure of our ability to generate cash on a normalized basis. Free cash flow also provides insight into our flexibility to allocate capital and pursue opportunities that may enhance shareholder value. We believe that while expenditures and dispositions of property, plant and equipment will fluctuate period to period, we seek to ensure that we have adequate capital on hand to maintain ongoing operations and enable growth of the business. Additionally, free cash flow is of limited usefulness, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact the measures do not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments. The reconciliation between free cash flow and net cash provided by operating activities (the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure) is shown below:

Factors Impacting Our Performance
U.S. Government Spending and Federal Budget Uncertainty
Changes in the volume and relative mix of U.S. government spending as well as areas of spending growth could impact our business and results of operations. In particular, our results can be affected by shifts in strategies and priorities on homeland security, intelligence, defense-related programs, infrastructure and urbanization and continued increased spending on technology and innovation, including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, connected communities and physical infrastructure. Cost-cutting and efficiency initiatives, current and future budget restrictions, spending cuts and other efforts to reduce government spending and shifts in overall priorities (for example, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic) could cause our government customers to reduce or delay funding or invest appropriated funds on a less consistent basis or not at all, and demand for our solutions or services could diminish. Furthermore, any disruption in the functioning of government agencies, including as a result of government closures and shutdowns, could have a negative impact on our operations and cause us to lose revenue or incur additional costs due to, among other things, our inability to maintain access and schedules for government testing or deploy our staff to customer locations or facilities as a result of such disruptions.
There is also uncertainty around the timing, extent, nature and effect of Congressional and other U.S. government actions to address budgetary constraints, caps on the discretionary budget for defense and non-defense departments and agencies, and the ability of Congress to determine how to allocate the available budget authority and pass appropriations bills to fund both U.S. government departments and agencies that are, and those that are not, subject to the caps. Additionally, budget deficits and the growing U.S. national debt, including as a result of legislative actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, may increase pressure on the U.S. government to reduce federal spending across all federal agencies, with uncertainty about the size and timing of those reductions. Furthermore, delays in the completion of future U.S. government budgets could in the future delay procurement of the federal government services we provide. A reduction in the amount of, or reductions, delays, or cancellations of funding for, services that we are contracted to provide to the U.S. government as a result of any of these impacts or
35
related initiatives, legislation or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
Operational Performance on Contracts
Revenue, earnings (margin) and the timing of our cash flows depend on our ability to perform on our contracts. When agreeing to contractual terms, our management team makes assumptions and projections about future conditions and events. The accounting for our contracts and programs requires assumptions and estimates about these conditions and events. These projections and estimates assess:
•the productivity and availability of labor;
•the allocation of indirect costs to labor and material costs incurred;
•the complexity of the work to be performed;
•the cost and availability of materials and components; and
•schedule requirements.
If there is a significant change in one or more of these circumstances, estimates or assumptions, or if the risks under our contracts are not managed adequately, the profitability of contracts could be adversely affected. This could affect earnings and margin materially.
In particular, profitability can fluctuate predicated on the type of contract awarded. Typically fixed-price development programs on complex systems represent a higher risk profile to complete on-budget. To the extent our fixed-price development efforts create a larger portion of our revenue output, this may result in reduced operating margins given the higher risk profile. The following represents the impact that changing certain of our estimates, which are primarily attributed to changes in our firm-fixed-price type programs. They consist of changes in the designs required to achieve contractual specifications for fixed priced development programs and inflationary impacts on certain naval production programs that resulted in a change in the programs’ estimate and related profitability. The reduction to revenue for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 was attributed primarily to certain cost impacts on surface ship programs within our IMS segment and inflationary pressures on naval programs within our ASC segment.

| Total % of Revenue | 1.6 | % | 1.3 | % | 0.9 | % | 0.7 | % | |||||||||||||||
Additionally, the timing of our cash flows is impacted by the timing of achievement of billable milestones on contracts. Historically, this has resulted and could continue to result in fluctuations in working capital levels and quarterly free cash flow results. As a result of such quarterly fluctuations in free cash flow results, we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations may not necessarily be meaningful and should not be relied upon as indicators of future performance.
Regulations
Increased audit, review, investigation and general scrutiny by U.S. government agencies of performance under government contracts and compliance with the terms of those contracts and applicable laws could affect our operating results. Negative publicity and increased scrutiny of government contractors in general, including us, relating to government expenditures for contractor services and incidents involving the mishandling of sensitive or classified information as well as the increasingly complex requirements of the DoD and the United States
36
intelligence community, including those related to cybersecurity, could impact our ability to perform in the markets we serve.
International & Commercial Sales
International revenue, including foreign military sales, foreign military financing, and direct commercial sales, accounted for approximately 22% and 18% of our revenue for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and 15% and 14% of our revenue for the three- and six-months ended June 30, 2021. The increase is due in part to increased purchases resulting from new and expanded military aid programs in support of Ukraine in its conflict with Russia. Since our focus is primarily with the DoD and our investments are focused as such, we anticipate that international sales will continue to account for a similar percentage of revenue in the future. We remain subject to the spending levels, pace and priorities of the U.S. government as well as international governments and commercial customers, and to general economic conditions that could adversely affect us, our customers and our suppliers.
Additionally, some international sales may expose us to foreign exchange fluctuations and changing dynamics of foreign competitiveness based on variations in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to other currencies. The impact of those fluctuations is reflected throughout our Consolidated Financial Statements, but in the aggregate, did not have a material impact on our results of operations for three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022.
Acquisitions, Divestitures and Held for Sale
We consider the acquisition of businesses and investments that we believe will expand or complement our current portfolio and allow access to new customers or technologies. We also may explore the divestiture of businesses that no longer meet our needs or strategy or that could perform better outside of our organization. On March 22, 2022 we announced the signing of a definitive sale agreement for 100% of the stock of our Global Enterprise Solutions (“GES”) operating unit, which was completed on August 1, 2022 and on April 19, 2022 we signed a definitive sale agreement for our 51% ownership stake in our Advanced Acoustics Concepts Joint Venture with Thales (“AAC”), which was completed on July 8, 2022. The assets and liabilities of GES and our investment in AAC were both been classified as held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022.
Components of Operations
Revenue
Revenue consists primarily of product related revenue, generating 88% of our total revenues for the second quarter and first six months of 2022. Our remaining revenue is generated from service related contracts. Additionally, 87% of our revenue is derived from firm-fixed priced contracts for three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022. This is consistent for both contract types when compared to product sales and firm-fixed priced sales of 86% and 87%, respectively, for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021.
Under flexibly priced contracts, we are reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined total costs (defined as cost of revenues plus allowable general and administrative expenses) incurred, plus a fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness, cost-effectiveness or other factors. For the second quarter and first six months of 2022 flexible priced contracts represented 13% respectively, of our total revenues. This is consistent for flexible priced contracts sales of 14% and 13%, respectively, for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021.
Please refer to Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 2. Revenue from Contracts with Customers in the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues includes materials, labor and overhead costs incurred in the manufacturing, design, and provision of products and services sold in the period as well as warranty costs. Material costs include raw materials,
37
purchased components and sub-assemblies and outside processing and inbound freight. Labor and overhead costs consist of direct and indirect manufacturing costs, including wages and fringe benefits, operating supplies, depreciation and amortization, occupancy costs, and purchasing, receiving, inspection costs and inbound freight costs.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include general and administrative expenses not included within cost of revenues such as salaries, wages and fringe benefits, facility costs and other costs related to these indirect functions. Additionally, general and administrative expenses include internal research and development costs as well as expenditures related to bid and proposal efforts. We expect general and administrative expenses will be impacted by the costs associated with being a publicly-traded company.
Results from Operations
The following discussion of operating results is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of the Company, as well as individual segments, for the second quarter and first six months of 2022, as compared to the second quarter and first six months of 2021. Given the nature of our business, we believe revenue and earnings from operations are most relevant to an understanding of our performance at a business and segment level. Our operating cycle is lengthy and involves various types of production contracts and varying delivery schedules. Accordingly, operating results in a particular year may not be indicative of future operating results.

Our operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2022 showed mixed results when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Despite a revenue decrease, we reported net earnings and Adjusted EBITDA consistent to the prior year, driving continued margin expansion offsetting inflationary impacts to our profitability. Our cash usage increased for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 across both of our operating segments as we continue to procure materials in advance of need to reduce the effect of extending lead times. We reported bookings in line with the prior year and achieved a number of important program wins and performance milestones.
Revenue of $1,239 million represented a decrease of $100 million or 7.5% while operating earnings decreased $4 million or 4% and net earnings remaining unchanged at $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Adjusted EBITDA remained consistent with the prior year, increasing slightly to $140.4 million an increase of 0.4% while Adjusted EBITDA margins also increased by 89 bps to 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
40
Revenue
Our revenue of $1,239 million decreased $31 million or 4.7% from the three months ended June 30, 2021 and $100 million or 7% over six months ended June 30, 2021. The revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2022 is attributed to a decline in our ASC segment, partially offset by an increase in our IMS segment. Our ASC segment decreased revenues by $131 million or 13% driven by availability of electronic components and customer installation staffing levels impacting certain order quantities on our computing programs. Our IMS segment revenues increased by $30 million or 8% as compared to the prior year period primarily due to the increased deliveries in the Force Protection market, highlighted by our counter unmanned aerial threat production program with the US Army.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $31 million or 6% from $531 million to $500 million when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021.Cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $98 million or 9% from 1,076 million to 978 million primarily due to decreased revenue as described above. Additionally, the cost of revenue improvement was also impacted by improved contract performance, decreasing the cost of revenues as a percentage of revenue highlighted by continued cost savings generated from our operational excellence program, APEX, and the continued transition of development programs into production. The program transition and improved profitability is highlighted by our submarine electric propulsion programs within our IMS sector.
Gross Profit
Gross profit held at $127 million for the second quarter and was down $2 million, or 1% to $261 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $127 million and $263 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021 respectively. This was primarily due to decreased revenue, largely offset by the improved program performance as noted above.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $11 million or 13% from the three months ended June 30, 2021 and increased by $8 million or 5% for the six-months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six-months ended June 30, 2021. As a percentage of revenue, general and administrative expenses increased to 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from 11% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The primary driver for the increase in general and administrative expenses is deal related transaction costs which increased $8 million and $6 million when compared to the three months and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
Other Operating Expenses, Net
Other operating expenses increased by $2 million to $1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to $(1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 other operating expenses increased by $6 million from $(5) million for six months ended June 30, 2021 to $1 million for six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase for both the quarter and six months is primarily due to employee safety costs related to COVID-19 investments $2 million and $5 million, respectively, incurred in the prior year. In the current year, we no longer classify COVID-19 expenditures separately and expenses incurred are reflected in Cost of Revenues or General and Administrative Expenses.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization of intangibles of $2 million and $4 million for three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were consistent with three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
41
Operating Earnings
Operating earnings decreased by $9 million and $4 million to $42 million and $98 million for three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022 from $51 and $102 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021. The decrease was driven by increased general and administrative expenditures resulting from transaction related expenditures, as previously mentioned above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased in the three months ended June 30, 2022 by $1 million or 9% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, There was no change in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from the prior year of $18 million of interest expenditures realized for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Other, Net
Other, net decreased for the three months ended June 30, 2022 to $0 million from $1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, with $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021. This was primarily due a reduction in foreign exchange related charges realized during the period.
Earnings Before Taxes
Earnings before taxes decreased by $11 million and $4 million to $32 million and $80 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $43 million and $84 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021. The reduced profitability resulted in a 5% decrease in earnings before taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses as discussed above.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision decreased by $4 million and $4 million to $7 million and $19 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively, from $11 million and $23 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in earnings before taxes of $11 million and $4 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and unfavorable discrete tax expense recorded during the six months ended March 31, 2021. The discrete items were due to certain state law tax changes and an increase in estimated nondeductible expenses.
Net Earnings
Net earnings decreased by $7 million to $25 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and stayed constant at $61 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, when compared to the three-and six- months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was driven by decreased earnings before taxes of $4 million offset by decreased income tax provision of $4 million, as described above.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $2 million or 2% to $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and stayed constant at $140 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to $69 million and $140 million for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021, respectively. The slight decrease is driven by lower gross profit as noted above driven by lower revenue volumes, offset by improved profitability.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 10.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 10.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and from 10.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to 11.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to improved program performance driven by the transition of certain development programs into production driving margin expansion most notably on our submarine electric propulsion programs within our IMS sector.
42
Adjusted EPS
For the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022 there were no changes in the number of basic and diluted shares. No equity awards were issued during the period. As of June 30, 2022 there were 145,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding resulting in Adjusted EPS of $0.49, relatively consistent with the $0.48 realized for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The consistent Adjusted EPS is driven by consistent net income generated during the respective periods when adjusted for COVID costs and deal related expenditures realized during the respective periods.
Backlog
Backlog decreased by $336 million to $3,051 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $3,387 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, despite bookings exceeding our revenue totals by 15% during the period. This is attributed to a strong revenue contribution realized in the second half of 2021 while bookings were negatively impacted by delayed awards and a reduction in new starts stemming from the continuing resolution, driving 2nd half revenues in 2021 that were 25% in excess of our bookings total for the same period. Despite the decline from prior period ended June 30, 2021, our backlog has increased 7% since December 31, 2021 driven by our strong book to bill ratio noted above.
Bookings
Bookings for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 1% or $5 million to $1,430 million as compared to $1,435 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease is primarily attributed to performance within our ASC segment due to a reduction of ground vehicle awards received on our ruggedized computing programs with the U.S. Army offset by increases in our IMS segment driven by the definitization of certain Counter UAS and Short Range Air Defense programs with the U.S. Army, additional funding received on our Next Generation Ballistic Submarine program with the U.S. Navy and the receipt of additional international orders under new and expanded military aid programs in support of Ukraine and other Eastern European countries. Despite the reduction in year over year bookings through June, we anticipate full year new awards to exceed the prior year results.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow usage increased by $50 million to $264 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $214 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to cash used to fund working capital for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Review of Operating Segments
The following is a discussion of operating results for each of our operating segments. We have elected to use Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Bookings to provide detailed information on our
43
segment performance. Additional information regarding our segments can be found in Note 15: Segment information within the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASC
Revenue:
The ASC segment reported revenue decreases in the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreasing by 9.1% or $45 million to $444 million from $489 million for three months ended June 30, 2021. The ASC contribution to revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by 13.5% or $131 million to $840 million from $971 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This decrease is primarily attributed to supply chain delays impacting revenue generation on various programs within the U.S. Army. Additionally on our ruggedized computing programs we realized a reduction of awards driven by lower than anticipated customer installation rates. Additionally, the ASC segment realized delays in the receipt of awards on certain components to support computing hardware for naval systems.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
ASC’s Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $4 million or 7%, from $61 million for three months ended June 30, 2021 to $57 million for three months ended June 30, 2022. Despite the reduction in Adjusted EBITDA realized during the three months ended June 30, 2022, our Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased 30bps to 12.8% from 12.5% realized during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
ASC’s Adjusted EBITDA decrease can also be seen in the six months ended June 30, 2022 with Adjusted EBITDA decreasing by $26 million or 23% from $115 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $89 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The Adjusted EBITDA reduction is attributed to the decreased revenue output as noted above. Similarly, the lower revenue volume allowed for less absorption of general and administrative and other fixed costs reducing our Adjusted EBITDA Margins 120 bps from 11.8% to 10.6% for the six months end June 30, 2021 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.
Bookings:
The ASC segment contributed $485 million and $873 million in new bookings for three- and six - month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Bookings were down for both the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022, by 1% or $4 million and 10% or $100 million as compared to the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021. The reduction is primarily due to reduced order quantities on our ruggedized computing programs due to a delay in installation capabilities attributed to COVID-19 employment disruption within the U.S. Army, reduction in satellite bandwidth contract awards in our held for sale GES business, as well as significant ‘lump’ awards received during the six months ended June 30, 2021, including pilot training systems awarded for the JSF lot 15. These reductions were partially offset by additional international orders under new and expanded military aid programs in support of Ukraine and other Eastern European countries, including awards for thermal weapon sights and ground vehicle sensing for the Poland M1 Abrams tank award. Despite the reduction in year over year bookings through June, we anticipate full year new awards for the ASC segment to exceed the prior year results.
IMS
Revenue:
IMS segment revenue increased by $13 million or 7% to $187 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $174 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 IMS revenue increased by $30 million or 8% to $405 million from $375 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase was primarily attributed to improved progress on our submarine programs as well as sustaining full rate production on our surface ship power system production programs.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
IMS’s Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3 million or 39% to $10 million for three months ended June 30, 2022 from $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 with the trend continuing for the six months ended
45
June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA increased by $26 million or 103% from $25 million for the six month ended June 30, 2021 to $51 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased from 4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 to 5% for three months ended June 30, 2022. Adjusted EBITDA continued to drive increases in Adjusted EBITDA Margins from 7% to 13% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to the six months ended June 30, 2022 respectively. This was primarily due to improved performance on our Next Generation Ballistic Submarine program and increased revenue contribution and related operational leverage generated as noted above.
Bookings:
The IMS segment contributed $197 million and $556 million in new bookings for the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2022, respectively. Bookings decreased for both the three months ended June 30, 2022 by (18%) or $(42) million but reported an increase of 21% or $95 million for the six months ended June 30, 202 as compared to the three- and six- month periods ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to increased bookings for our force protection products including the definitization of 124 mission equipment package (MEP) contract to provide short range air defense for the U.S. Army. In addition to providing short range air defense solutions, our IMS segment also received new awards to support ballistic missile defense on the Patriot missile defense system, further driving the increase in bookings as compared to the prior year. Additionally, IMS continues to realize increased funding on the Next Generation Ballistic Submarine program as we transition from development into production.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We endeavor to ensure the most efficient conversion of operating income into cash for deployment in our business and to maximize shareholder value through cash deployment activities. In addition to our cash position, we use various financial measures to assist in capital deployment decision-making, including cash provided by operating activities and free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure described in more detail below. We believe that the combination of our existing cash, access to credit facilities as described in Note 10: Debt and future cash that we expect to generate from our operations will be sufficient to meet our short and long-term liquidity needs. There can be no assurance, however, that our business will continue to generate cash flow at current levels or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. We may also pursue acquisitions or other strategic priorities that will require additional liquidity beyond the liquidity we generate through our operations. Our cash balance as of June 30, 2022, was $69 million compared to $240 million as of December 31, 2021.
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||
| (Dollars in millions) | 2022 | 2021 | |||||||||
| Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (242) | $ | (185) | |||||||
| Net cash provided by investing activities | (22) | 84 | |||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 93 | 132 | |||||||||
| Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | — | (1) | |||||||||
| Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (171) | $ | 30 | |||||||

________________
(1)Free cash flow is a Non-GAAP measure. The reasons we use this Non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure is provided above under “—Key Financial and Operating Measures—Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
Operating Activities
Cash flows related to the operating activities decreased by $57 million, increasing cash usage from $185 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $242 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This was primarily due to cash used to fund working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to six month ended
46
June 30, 2021 driven by a reduction in accounts payable and an increase in contract assets and inventory during the period. The increase in contract assets and inventory are attributable to advanced procurements to combat the extending lead times impacting supply chain.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $106 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. The reduced cash generation was attributed the pay-back of the Surplus Treasury Agreement with US Holding. For the year ended December 31, 2020 we advanced US Holding $115 million which was subsequently repaid in the three months ended March 31, 2021 driving the decrease in investing cash generation as compared to the six months June 30, 2021.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $39 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 versus June 30, 2021. The decrease was primarily related to a decrease in the net borrowings under our revolving credit facility due to working capital management as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow decreased by $50 million to $(264) million for six months ended June 30, 2022 from $(214) million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This was primarily due to the decrease in cash used to fund working capital for the six months ended June 30, 2022 when compared to three months ended June 30, 2021.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE OF MARKET RISK
Equity Risk
We currently have limited risk related to fluctuations in marketable securities. Outside of pension assets which are disclosed in Note 11: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the only investments the Company holds are overnight money market accounts. Fluctuations are unlikely and would have limited impact on the financial statements of the Company.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facilities, which had an outstanding balance of $110 million as of June 30, 2022. Our remaining debt facilities are fixed rate obligations and not subject to fluctuations in interest rates. For additional information please refer to Note 10. Debt .
Foreign Currency Risk
In certain circumstances, we may be exposed to foreign currency risk. However, as the overwhelming majority of our revenue is derived from U.S. sources directly as a prime contractor or indirectly as a subcontractor for the U.S. government as end-customer, we have limited foreign currency exposure. Currently our exposure is primarily with the Canadian dollar and limited to receivables owed of $55 million as of June 30, 2022. A 10% fluctuation in exchange rates would not have a material impact on our financial statements. We do not enter into or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes.
Inflation Risk
Given the broader inflation in the economy, we are monitoring the risk inflation presents to active and future contracts. To the extent feasible, we have consistently followed the practice of adjusting our estimated cost at completion to reflect the impact of inflation on salaries and fringe benefits for employees and the cost of purchased materials and services. These adjustments are reflected in our June financial results and we have not seen broad based increases in costs from inflation that are material to the business as a whole; however, if we begin to experience greater than expected supply chain and labor inflation, our profits and margins under our contracts, in particular fixed price contracts, could be adversely affected. Bids for longer-term firm fixed-price contracts
47
typically include assumptions for labor and other cost escalations in amounts that historically have been sufficient to cover cost increases over the period of performance.
48
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three-month period ended June 30, 2022 covered by this Quarterly Report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
For information relating to legal proceedings, see Note 13 to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1.
50
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully review and consider the information regarding certain factors that could materially affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition as set forth under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report. Except as set forth in this Item 1A. “Risk Factors,” we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe not to be material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report, the following are risks related to our pending merger with RADA, as described further in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—T. Acquisitions, Investments and Variable Interest Entities within the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements:
•Because the exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted in the event of any change in RADA’s share price, the value of the shares of DRS immediately following completion of the merger (the “combined company”) and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement is uncertain.
•The market price for shares of common stock of the combined company following the completion of the merger may be affected by factors different from, or in addition to, those that historically have affected or currently affect the market prices of RADA shares.
•The lack of a public market for DRS common stock makes it more difficult to evaluate the fairness of the merger.
•The shares of DRS common stock to be received by RADA shareholders as a result of the merger will have rights different from the RADA shares.
•RADA shareholders will each have reduced ownership and voting interest in and will exercise less influence over management of DRS.
•Until the completion of the merger or the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms, DRS and RADA are each prohibited from entering into certain transactions and taking certain actions that might otherwise be beneficial to DRS or RADA and their respective stockholders and shareholders.
•Difficulties in obtaining required approvals and satisfying closing conditions may prevent or delay completion of the merger.
•DRS and RADA must obtain certain regulatory approvals and clearances to consummate the merger, which, if delayed, not granted or granted with conditions not presently anticipated, could prevent, substantially delay or impair consummation of the merger, result in additional expenditures of money and resources or reduce the anticipated benefits of the merger.
•Failure to attract, motivate and retain executives and other key employees could diminish the anticipated benefits of the merger.
•The merger, including uncertainty regarding the merger, may cause customers, suppliers or strategic partners to delay or defer decisions concerning DRS and RADA or seek to change or cancel existing business relationships
•Whether or not the merger is completed, the announcement and pendency of the merger could cause disruptions in the businesses of DRS and RADA, which could have an adverse effect on their respective businesses and financial results.
•The merger may not be completed on the terms or timeline currently contemplated, or at all, and the failure to complete the merger could adversely impact the market price of RADA shares, as well as its business and operating results.
51
•The merger agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the merger may not be consummated.
•Any termination of the merger agreement could negatively impact DRS and RADA.
•The directors and executive officers of DRS and RADA have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, those of DRS stockholders and RADA shareholders generally.
•DRS or RADA may waive one or more of the closing conditions without re-soliciting shareholder approval or amending this proxy statement/prospectus.
•The merger agreement contains provisions that could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might be willing to provide additional value to acquire or merge with either DRS or RADA.
•Each of DRS and RADA will incur significant transaction, merger-related and restructuring costs in connection with the merger.
•RADA shareholders will not be entitled to dissenters’, appraisal, cash exit or similar rights in the merger.
•If it is determined the merger does not qualify as a tax-free “reorganization” for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. holders of RADA shares will generally recognize capital gain or loss as a result of the merger.
•Even if the merger qualifies as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Tax Code, a U.S. holder may still recognize gain as a result of the merger if RADA is or was classified as a “passive foreign investment company” for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held RADA shares.
•DRS could be liable for certain tax liabilities, including tax liabilities of US Holding and its subsidiaries, under tax law and the tax allocation agreement.
•Lawsuits filed against DRS or RADA, or against DRS or RADA directors, challenging the merger, and an adverse ruling in any such lawsuit may prevent the merger from becoming effective or becoming effective within the expected time frame.
•The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect the business, results of operations and financial condition of DRS, RADA and the combined company following the completion of the merger.
•Climate change, or legal, regulatory or market measures to address climate change, may materially adversely affect the combined company’s financial condition and business operations.
•The failure to successfully combine the businesses of DRS and RADA may adversely affect the combined company’s future results.
•The combined company may not be able to retain customers or suppliers or customers or suppliers may seek to modify contractual obligations with the combined company, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business and operations.
•The combined company may be exposed to increased litigation, which could have an adverse effect on the combined company’s business and operations.
•Combining the businesses of DRS and RADA may be more difficult, costly or time-consuming than expected and the combined company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the merger, which may adversely affect the combined company’s business results and negatively affect the value of the common stock of the combined company following the merger.
•The failure to integrate successfully the businesses and operations of DRS and RADA in the expected time frame may adversely affect the combined company’s future results.
52
•The combined company’s industry is highly competitive, which may impact its results of operations.
•The combined company will operate in a global, competitive environment which gives rise to operating and market risk exposure.
•The DRS and RADA unaudited prospective financial information is inherently subject to uncertainties, the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this document is preliminary and the combined company’s actual financial position and results of operations after the merger may differ materially from these estimates and the unaudited pro forma financial data included in this proxy statement/prospectus.
•DRS and RADA will incur significant transaction and merger-related costs in connection with the merger.
•The revenue of the combined company will depend on DRS’s and RADA’s ability to maintain certain levels of government business. The loss of contracts with U.S. and non-U.S. government agencies could adversely affect the combined company’s revenue.
•Third parties may terminate or alter existing contracts or relationships with DRS or RADA.
•The combined company may be unable to retain DRS and RADA personnel successfully after the merger is completed.
•The combined company’s debt may adversely affect its financial condition, limit its financial flexibility, or decrease its business flexibility.
•Declaration, payment and amounts of dividends, if any, distributed to stockholders of the combined company will be uncertain.
These risks are discussed more fully in the registration statement on Form S-4 we filed with the SEC on August 3, 2022. Although the registration statement has not yet been declared effective, we urge you to read it and any amendments and supplements thereto, because they contain important information about the merger, including relevant risk factors.
