General Dynamics Reports Second-Quarter 2023 Financial Results

  • Revenue of $10.2 billion, up 10.5% year-over-year, with growth in all four segments
  • Net earnings $744 million, diluted EPS $2.70
  • Record-high backlog of $91.4 billion, 1.2-to-1 book-to-bill

RESTON, Va., July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD) today reported second-quarter 2023 net earnings of $744 million on revenue of $10.2 billion. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) were $2.70.

"Our businesses demonstrated solid momentum despite continued supply chain headwinds in several units, achieving the highest-ever revenue for a mid-year quarter, record-high backlog and very strong cash flow," said Phebe N. Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. "We are well positioned to continue to perform for the remainder of the year."

Cash
Net cash provided by operating activities in the quarter totaled $731 million. For the first half of the year, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $2.2 billion, or 149% of net earnings. During the quarter, the company repaid $750 million in fixed-rate notes, invested $212 million in capital expenditures, paid $360 million in dividends, and used $288 million to repurchase shares, ending the quarter with $1.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents on hand. In the previous 12 months, the company reduced total debt by $1.7 billion.

Backlog
Good order activity across the segments yielded a consolidated book-to-bill ratio, defined as orders divided by revenue, of 1.2-to-1 for the quarter. The company ended the quarter with record-high backlog of $91.4 billion, a 4.3% increase from the year-ago quarter. Estimated potential contract value, representing management's estimate of additional value in unfunded indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts and unexercised options, was $38 billion. Total estimated contract value, the sum of all backlog components, was $129.3 billion at the end of the quarter.

The Aerospace segment booked $2.5 billion in new orders, driven by strong demand for Gulfstream aircraft.

Significant awards in the quarter for the three defense segments included $340 million from the U.S. Army for various munitions and ordnance with maximum potential value of $1.4 billion; $1.1 billion from the U.S. Navy for long-lead materials and advance construction for Block V Virginia-class submarines; $735 million from the Navy for construction of an additional John Lewis-class (T-AO-205) fleet replenishment oiler; $695 million from the Army to design, build and test prototype XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicles, with additional option value of $75 million; $710 million from the Army to upgrade Stryker vehicles to the double-V-hull A1 configuration; and $435 million for several key contracts for classified customers, with additional options and potential contract value of $935 million

(d)  Return on sales is calculated as net earnings divided by revenue.

(e)  We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. We believe free cash flow is a useful measure
      for investors because it portrays our ability to generate cash from our businesses for purposes such as repaying debt, funding business
      acquisitions, repurchasing our common stock and paying dividends. We use free cash flow to assess the quality of our earnings and as a key
      performance measure in evaluating management.

(f)   We define net debt as short- and long-term debt (total debt) less cash and equivalents. We believe net debt is a useful measure for investors
      because it reflects the borrowings that support our operations and capital deployment strategy. We use net debt as an important indicator of
      liquidity and financial position.
