First quarter 2026 revenue growth was 6% year-over-year, reflecting increases on programs supporting tactical radars, infrared sensing and electric power and propulsion.

Adjusted EBITDA grew 28% over the prior year and was accompanied by meaningful margin expansion. Increased Adjusted EBITDA profitability was driven by strong program execution across the portfolio, including Columbia Class, and also reflected operating leverage on higher volume.

First quarter net earnings, Adjusted Net Earnings, diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS were all higher year-over-year, driven primarily by higher operational profitability and lower net interest expense.

Cash Flow

Net cash flow used in operating activities was $66 million for the first quarter. The company's free cash outflow was $95 million in the quarter. Both operating and free cash outflows narrowed compared to first quarter 2025 driven by higher profitability and better working capital efficiency.

Dividends and Stock Repurchases

During the first quarter, the company paid dividends to stockholders totaling approximately $24 million or $0.09 per share of common stock. Leonardo DRS today announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock payable on June 2, 2026, to stockholders of record on May 19, 2026.

Additionally, the company repurchased 91,238 shares of its common stock for approximately $4 million in the first quarter, pursuant to a previously announced stock repurchase program.

Balance Sheet

At first quarter end, the company had $328 million of cash and no outstanding borrowings under the company's credit facility. The company's strong balance sheet provides ample financial flexibility to fund growth initiatives and return capital over time.

Revenue growth in the segment came from programs related to tactical radars and infrared sensing. Adjusted EBITDA increased meaningfully, driven by improved program execution, favorable mix and higher volume.

Programs related to electric power and propulsion and force protection drove robust quarterly bookings in the IMS segment. Revenue increased modestly over first quarter 2025 on higher contribution from electric power and propulsion programs. Adjusted EBITDA growth and margin expansion were primarily driven by strong program execution throughout the segment, led by Columbia Class.

2026 Guidance

Leonardo DRS is increasing 2026 guidance as specified in the table below:

 
        Measure             Current 2026 Guidance       Prior 2026 Guidance 
------------------------  -------------------------  ------------------------- 
                           $3,900 million - $3,975    $3,850 million - $3,950 
   Revenue                         million                    million 
                             $515 million - $530        $505 million - $525 
   Adjusted EBITDA                 million                    million 
      Tax Rate                      18.5%                      18.5% 
      Diluted WASO              269.0 million              269.0 million 
   Adjusted Diluted EPS         $1.26 - $1.30              $1.20 - $1.26 
 

The company does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Diluted EPS due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying the adjustments that are necessary to calculate such non-GAAP measures without unreasonable effort. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)

In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP included throughout this document, the company has provided information regarding "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Segment Adjusted EBITDA," "Segment Adjusted EBITDA Margin," "Adjusted Net Earnings," "Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share" and "Free Cash Flow" (each, a non-GAAP financial measure).

We believe the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this document will help investors understand our financial condition and operating results and assess our future prospects. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is discussed in greater detail below, are important supplemental measures because they exclude unusual or non-recurring items as well as non-cash items that are unrelated to or may not be indicative of our ongoing operating results. Further, when read in conjunction with our GAAP results, these non-GAAP financial measures provide a baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses and can be used by management as a tool to help make financial, operational and planning decisions. Finally, these measures are often used by analysts and other interested parties to evaluate companies in our industry by providing more comparable measures that are less affected by factors such as capital structure.

We recognize that these non-GAAP financial measures have limitations, including that they may be calculated differently by other companies or may be used under different circumstances or for different purposes, thereby affecting their comparability from company to company. In order to compensate for these and the other limitations discussed below, management does not consider these measures in isolation from or as alternatives to the comparable financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Readers should review the reconciliations below and should not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business.

We define these non-GAAP financial measures as:

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are defined as net earnings before income taxes, interest expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, depreciation, deal-related transaction costs, restructuring costs and other one-time non-operational events (which include non-service pension expense, legal liability accrual reversals, executive transition costs and foreign exchange impacts), then in the case of Adjusted EBITDA Margin dividing Adjusted EBITDA by revenues.
