Revenue: Fourth quarter revenue increased 3%, supported by solid growth in Integrated Mission Systems (IMS) and Communication Systems (CS) of 9% and 5%, respectively. The increases were driven by demand for resilient communication products and night vision devices, higher aircraft missionization volume, increased volume for advanced electronics for space and munitions programs and higher volume in our Commercial Aviation Solutions (CAS) business.

2024 revenue increased 10% due to the inclusion of a full year of results for our Aerojet Rocketdyne (AR) segment and 4% organically due to continued strong demand for our resilient communication products, higher volume for advanced electronics and higher volume in our CAS business.

Operating Margin:
GAAP Operating Margin: Fourth quarter increased 740 bps to 10.3% and 2024 increased 170 bps to 9.0%.
Adjusted Segment Operating Margin: Fourth quarter expanded 20 bps to 15.3% and 2024 expanded 60 bps to 15.4%.
Fourth quarter operating margin increase was primarily driven by improved program performance at IMS, the absence of a prior year goodwill impairment associated with CAS and the monetization of certain legacy end of life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities. Such increases were partially offset by mix at CS, challenges on classified development programs at SAS and an impairment of other assets related to the Tactical Data Links acquisition. Adjusted segment operating margin excludes the impact of a prior year goodwill impairment associated with CAS and an impairment of other assets related to the Tactical Data Links acquisition in 2024.
2024 operating margin increased driven by the absence of a prior year goodwill impairment associated with CAS. Adjusted segment operating margin increased, with all four segments contributing to margin improvement; IMS in particular increased 100 bps versus prior year.
Diluted EPS:
GAAP Diluted EPS: Fourth quarter increased 186% to $2.37 and 2024 increased 22% to $7.87.
Non-GAAP Diluted EPS: Fourth quarter non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 4% to $3.47 and 2024 non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 6% to $13.10.
Pension Adjusted Non-GAAP Diluted EPS: Fourth quarter pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 9% to $3.06 and 2024 pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS increased 10% to $11.50.
Fourth quarter and 2024 diluted EPS increase was driven by higher operating income, partially offset by a lower Financial Accounting Standards/U.S. Government Cost Accounting Standards (FAS/CAS) operating adjustment and higher income taxes. Non-GAAP diluted EPS increased due to higher adjusted segment operating income, partially offset by a lower FAS/CAS operating adjustment. Over the same period, pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS increased due to higher adjusted segment operating income.
Cash Flow:
Cash from Operations: Fourth quarter increased 43% to $1.1 billion and 2024 increased 22% to $2.6 billion.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Fourth quarter increased 37% to $1.0 billion and 2024 increased 14% to $2.3 billion.
Fourth quarter cash from operations increased due to tax planning strategies, less cash used to fund working capital and less cash used for merger, acquisition and severance payments. Adjusted free cash flow excludes the impact of cash used for merger, acquisition and severance payments.
2024 cash from operations increased due to tax planning strategies and a decrease in transaction costs related to the AJRD acquisition, partially offset by more cash used to fund working capital. Adjusted free cash flow excludes the impact of cash used for merger, acquisition and severance payments.

Revenue: Fourth quarter revenue decreased 4%, reflecting the divestiture of our antenna business in the second quarter. Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue decreased 1%, primarily due to lower F-35 related volume as TR-3 transitions from development to a more gradual production ramp in our Airborne Combat Systems business, partially offset by increased volume in our FAA safety of flight networks business and growth of classified programs in Intel & Cyber.
2024 revenue was flat, reflecting the divestiture of the antenna business. Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 2% primarily due to program growth in Intel & Cyber and higher volume in our FAA safety of flight networks business, partially offset by lower F-35 related volume.
Operating Margin:
GAAP Operating Margin: Fourth quarter increased 20 bps to 10.8% and 2024 increased 80 bps to 11.8%.
Adjusted Segment Operating Margin: Fourth quarter increased 20 bps to 10.8% and 2024 increased 40 bps to 11.8%.

Fourth quarter operating margin and adjusted segment operating margin increased primarily due to LHX NeXt cost savings, growth in our FAA safety of flight networks business and the monetization of certain legacy end of life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities; increase was partially offset by challenges on classified fixed price development programs in Space Systems that are in later stages of completion.
2024 operating margin increased 80 bps, primarily due to LHX NeXt cost savings, growth in our FAA safety of flight networks business, the monetization of certain end of life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, and the impact of a non-cash charge for impairment of other assets which occurred during FY23. Such increases were partially offset by challenges on classified fixed price development programs in Space Systems. 2023 adjusted segment operating margin excludes the impact of the non-cash charge.

Operating Margin:
GAAP Operating Margin: Fourth quarter decreased 340 bps to 22.7% and 2024 increased 10 bps to 24.3%.
Adjusted Segment Operating Margin: Fourth quarter decreased 170 bps to 24.4% and 2024 increased 50 bps to 24.7%.

Fourth quarter operating margin decreased due to higher mix of domestic radios related to competitive IDIQ contracts and a non-cash impairment of other assets related to the Tactical Data Links acquisition, partially offset by LHX NeXt cost savings. Adjusted segment operating margin decrease excludes the impact of the non-cash impairment of other assets.
2024 operating margin increased due to LHX NeXt cost savings, partially offset by a higher mix of domestic radios related to competitive IDIQ contracts and the non-cash impairment of other assets.

Revenue: Fourth quarter revenue increased 5%, primarily from increased production volume across key missile programs, partially offset by a reduction in space propulsion revenue due to program related delays and lower volume of in-space propulsion work.
2024 results are attributed to program execution across both sectors, Missile Solutions and Space Propulsion and Power Systems, relative to the 5 months of AR results in 2023.
Operating Margin: Fourth quarter and 2024 operating margin increased, primarily from the benefit of increased production volumes and strong program execution.

2025 GUIDANCE
Beginning in 1Q25 and reflected in our 2025 guidance, we are revising our Non-GAAP diluted EPS metric to exclude an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets that are in full year results for both years. We believe this better aligns to industry standard presentation of Non-GAAP diluted EPS and provides our investors with a more appropriate metric that better reflects our performance. In this press release, 4Q24 and 2024 "Non-GAAP diluted EPS" and "Pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS" include an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and "Non-GAAP diluted EPS (New)" does not include an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
Guidance assumes a Continuing Resolution through March of 2025 and no other funding delays or impacts. The administration has issued several Executive Orders that are still being assessed but are not expected to have a significant impact on our 2025 results. However, as US Government contracting officers assess the impact of Executive Orders on new contracts, we could see an effect on our Q1 2025 bookings and revenue.

Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples include, but are not limited to: share repurchases; potential divestitures and their timing; 2024 guidance; 2026 financial framework; anticipated LHX NeXt initiative costs and savings targets; 2026 margins; supplemental information for 2024; projection of other financial items; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s current expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and information currently available to management, and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Important risks that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements or from our historical results include, but are not limited to, risks arising from: competitive markets; U.S. Government spending priorities; changes in contract mix; inflation; unilateral contract action by the U.S. Government; uncertain economic conditions; future geo-political events; supply chain disruptions; impacts of LHX NeXt; indebtedness; defined benefit plan liabilities and returns; interest rates and other market factors; changes in effective tax rate or additional tax exposures; pending and contemplated divestitures.These and other important risks that could impact forward-looking statements are described more fully in the "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2023 filed with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section, and we have no duty to and disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes the adjustments to non-GAAP Financial Measures ("NGFMs") in the tables beginning on page 13 are useful to investors because the excluded costs do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. Such adjustments, considered together with the unadjusted GAAP financial measures, provide information that management believes is useful to investors to understand period-over-period operating results separate from items that management believes may disproportionately impact operating results in any particular period; however there is no guarantee that items excluded from NGFMs will not reoccur in future periods. Management also believes that NGFMs enhance the ability of investors to analyze business trends, understand performance and evaluate our initiatives to drive improved financial performance. Management utilizes NGFMs to guide forecasting and long-term planning and for compensation purposes. NGFMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of forward-looking NGFMs to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort because of inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying comparable GAAP measures and applicable adjustments and other amounts necessary for a reconciliation because of potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility of applicable adjustments and other unusual amounts that could disproportionately impact future GAAP results, such as the impact of defined benefit plan performance, LHX NeXt, potential divestitures and their timing, and the extent of tax deductibility.

1 Beginning in 1Q25 and reflected in our 2025 guidance, we are revising our Non-GAAP diluted EPS metric to exclude an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. We believe this better aligns to industry standard presentation of Non-GAAP diluted EPS and provides our investors with a more appropriate metric that better reflects our performance. In this press release, "Non-GAAP diluted EPS" and "Pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS" include an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, and "Non-GAAP diluted EPS (New)" and "Pension adjusted non-GAAP diluted EPS (New)" does not include an adjustment for amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
