| We made very good acquisitions in the US few years back, and I was very happy to hear yesterday, as I mentioned earlier that Night Vision were awarded the unit contracts in the US to provide nice vision equipment to the quarter |
| Is the high percentage of people who are -- mobilization among the workforce is going to have a positive impact on the profitability of the quarter from where you can see it now |
| We see the -- with the GP, we see an improvement, significant improvement on the operational expenses level |
| I'm confident in our ability to overcome the current challenges and deliver on our potential to all our stakeholders, our customers, our employees and, of course, to you, our shareholders |
| In summary, I'm encouraged by the progress in the third quarter as well as resilience we have demonstrated overcoming multiple challenges in recent years |
| They also – they also increased confidence in our ability to overcome the short-term challenges and deliver on our potential in the longer-term |
| Elbit System diverse geographic revenue base helps to reduce revenue volatility and support the long-term sustainability of our business |
| We continue to see healthy demand for our Night Vision Solutions from customers around the world, including yesterday's announcement from the US DoD for a large Night Vision global contract for ESAs Night Vision business |
| So certainly, we are expecting a positive Q4 cash flow wise, and we are sure expecting to be fully paid from the government of Israel |
| The positive inflection in global defense budget growth has created multiple opportunities |
| Combined with a significant contract for customers around the world, we received in recent months reflects the strong demand for our solutions |
| The financial results in the third quarter include double-digit revenue growth, a record backlog of $16.6 billion and improved profitability |
| The contract reflects the strong demand for ammunition from countries around the world and the decade of Elbit experience producing a range of artillery, mortars and tank munitions |
| I'm proud of their commitment to all our customers around the world and their dedication provides me with confidence that Elbit Systems will be able to overcome the challenges we face today and may face in the future |
| Just a month and a half ago, we reported a nice win [indiscernible] to be the partner for the digitization after we won the radio in this country, and we expect to get additional [indiscernible] |
| The financial results of the third quarter of 2023 reflects the sustained demand for our solutions and progress in the implementation of our operational improvement plans |
| I would like to share some of my initial observations in different land from the regular meeting we conduct with the end users in the IDFs and discuss some of the relevant contracts received in recent months that demonstrate that our international businesses remain solid and continue to grow |
| So together, we have a very vertical strong organization, which provides many types of guided munition not just to Israel, also to many other customers, and we see huge potential for that |
| And b, sales that are going to the Israel Defense Forces are registered within the Israeli segment or those could be -- if it goes through the American facility that goes to the US in your report and C, if you can speak about the potential of Sayyad in other markets given the successful implementation and proven battlefield results we see with, that that would be great |
| Regarding the mobilization, we have currently 15% of our workforce in Israel, which is approximately 2,000 employees, which we are very proud at serving our country in these difficult times |
| And mostly, on the way the company is functioning at this time and I think as citizens, we are all very impressed by it |
| And so, we see many opportunities for the company in the near future and in the medium future |
| IMI is very -- is another very good example |
| So we keep the trend of improved profitability altogether |
| And that's a very good example for an acquisition we made |
| And that plan includes the ERP effort and multiple investments that are still going on, and we will see the continuation of the improvement of our profitability had GP and OP level |
| The increase in marketing and sales spend will help to realize the potential created by these opportunities |
| So it's a big opportunity for us and we expect to enjoy from this package as well |
| We did this, thanks to the dedication of our employees and our culture of innovation and creativity |
| Third quarter revenues increased by 11% to $1.52 billion compared to $1.34 billion in the third quarter of 2022 |
| Statement |
|---|
| Elbit Systems of America revenues declined 2% in the third quarter due to lower precision guided munition sales |
| Israel revenues declined mainly due to lower ammunition sales in the quarter |
| I would like to discuss the impact of the war so far in Israel that presents both challenges and opportunities |
| But of course, this would not be a supportive or financially positive events in this quarter |
| And of course, that level creates some kind of a disruption, which -- but addressed in the previous remarks as we are hiring temporary employees, even referred to some retired employees that came back very happily to support the effort |
| The third issue is that it's more -- we think that it's more relevant to look at three quarters and not just on one specific quarter |
| Kobi, can you talk more about the third quarter gross margin in particular? I know last year, you had the stock comp expense that impacted gross margin |
| I also want to send my sincere condolences to the families of our employees that have lost their loved ones during this conflict |
| And the last issue is that when we are discussing prices of products and systems, of course there are variety |
