Management Comments

Dov Sella, RADA's Chief Executive Officer commented, “As we announced a few weeks ago, similar to what is being experienced by many U.S. defense companies, it is taking longer than we originally expected to recover from the pause in revenue in the U.S. as the resumption of normal spending takes time. Nevertheless, I am pleased that we have not lost any opportunities, it is just a timing issue, and we expect that the second half of the year will be better than the first half”.

Continued Mr. Sella, “I am happy to report that the pending merger with U.S.-based DRS is proceeding as planned and we are actively working to identify top-line synergies within our businesses to actualize post-merger close. The merger creates a leading technology defense company in which RADA will continue to play an important role, with capabilities serving a broad range of high growth U.S. and global budget priorities. We see the merger fulfilling the long-term growth goals of RADA as part of a large and growing U.S. defense group.”

Information with Regard to non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company presents its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. RADA’s management uses supplemental non-GAAP financial measures internally to understand, manage and evaluate its business and make operating decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is provided in this press release and the accompanying supplemental information because management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful for investors and financial institutions as it facilitates operating performance comparisons from period to period. As presented in this release, the term Adjusted EBITDA consists of net profit (loss) according to U.S. GAAP, excluding net financing expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently, which reduces its usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, you should consider Adjusted EBITDA alongside other financial performance measures, including net income and our other GAAP results. Reconciliation between the Company's results on a GAAP and non-GAAP basis is provided in the table below.
