Elbit Systems reported its consolidated results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2022. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $5,511.5 million, as compared to $5,278.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. Revenues in the fourth quarter of 2022 were $1,506.4 million, as compared to $1,494.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021.

The majority of the revenues in 2022 were in the Airborne systems and C4ISR systems areas of operation. The growth in revenues in the C4ISR systems area was mainly due to increased sales of UAS systems to customers in Europe, and higher sales of Sparton's products in the U.S.

On a geographic basis, the decrease in North America was mainly a result of lower sales of medical instrumentation. The increase in Europe was mainly a result of higher sales related to the flight school project in Greece and sales of UAS, as well as armored vehicles and artillery.

“A healthy business environment and growing demand for Elbit Systems' portfolio of leading technological capabilities resulted in a record order backlog of $15.1 billion. We increased our business development efforts to realize the significant opportunities created by growing defense budgets around the world,” said Bezhalel (Butzi) Machlis, President and CEO of Elbit Systems/

“Our 2022 financial results also reflect global supply chain disruptions and labor cost inflation. We accelerated investment in a range of operational initiatives to improve performance.  

Increasing customer interest and the growing scale of new contracts reflect Elbit Systems' successful transformation in recent years from a systems supplier to a comprehensive solution provider and supports future growth prospects.“
