DEFENSE SECTOR NEWS: Booz Allen (BAH) was awarded a $315M contract with a maximum performance period of up to five years to deliver the Advanced Battle Management System Distributed Battle Management Node Phase II Tactical Operations Center-Light prototype for the Department of the Air Force Program Executive Office for Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management. Booz Allen is partnering with L3Harris Technologies (LHX) for this rapid prototyping effort aimed at enabling Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control. Lockheed Martin was awarded a $999M indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for Joint Air to Surface Standoff Missile and Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile production support. This contract provides for lifecycle support for all efforts related to JASSM, LRASM and all their variants in the areas of system upgrades, integration, production, sustainment, management and logistical support. Work will be performed at Orlando, Florida, and is expected to be complete by July 17, 2030. This contract was a sole source acquisition. No funds are being obligated at the time of award. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center is the contracting activity. EARNINGS RECAP: L3Harris Technologies delivered a beat and raise quarter in Q2, posting a record book to bill ratio. 'We delivered impressive second-quarter results, led by a record book-to-bill of 1.5x, solid organic growth, and year-over-year adjusted segment operating margin expansion for the seventh consecutive quarter. This marks a clear inflection point, with our strongest top-line growth in six quarters and meaningful progress towards our 2026 Financial Framework. Our Trusted Disruptor strategy continues to drive differentiated, mission-critical solutions that meet our customers' evolving needs while creating value for shareholders,' said Christopher Kubasik, Chair and CEO. Kubasik added, 'Defense is entering a generational investment cycle, as U.S. and allied budgets grow rapidly. Demand is accelerating, and our portfolio is aligned with key growth areas – Golden Dome, space, missiles, shipbuilding, autonomy, and resilient communications. With the flexibility of our business-model agnostic approach – able to win as a prime, sub, or merchant supplier – a focused national security portfolio, and competitive momentum from LHX NeXt, we're confident in our path to sustained profitable growth and long-term value creation.' Susquehanna raised the firm's price target on L3Harris to $320 from $300 and maintained a Positive rating on the shares. The firm updated its model following the Q2 results while noting concurrent with earnings, certain 2025 guidance items and 2026 target items were increased. Susquehanna believes the company is well positioned to benefit from domestic defense spending priorities, including Golden Dome, missile capabilities, and resilient communications. Textron (TXT) also beat expectations in the second quarter and maintained its full-year 2025 EPS guidance. 'In the quarter, we saw revenue growth in both our commercial aircraft and helicopter businesses, as well as in Bell's FLRAA program, now known as the MV-75,' said CEO Scott Donnelly. 'At Textron Aviation, operations continued to improve as production ramped.' Susquehanna increased its price target on Textron to $95 from $90 and reiterated a Positive rating on the shares. The firm said 2Q25 results beat estimates with revenue of $3.72bn and EPS of $1.55 and noted the company continues to see broad-based demand across the Aviation portfolio. General Dynamics (GD) noted that Q2 results exceeded their expectations, The company surpassed analyst expectations as well. 'During the first half of the year, each of our four segments achieved growth in revenue and earnings, with margins on a companywide basis expanding 50 basis points over the same period last year,' said Phebe Novakovic, chairman and chief executive officer. 'Our strong cash flow and healthy backlog position us well to have a good second half.' Wolfe Research upgraded General Dynamics to Outperform from Perform with a $360 price target. The firm cited the company's Q2 beat with an improved free cash flow and order outlook for the upgrade. The quarter 'should be the beginning and not the end,' the analyst told investors in a research note. Wolfe sees an additional 14% upside in the shares. Lockheed Martin (LMT), on the other hand, fell short of consensus in Q2, citing the negative impact of pre-tax losses on programs of $1.6B and other charges of $169M. While the company did cut FY25 EPS guidance, it maintained its FY25 revenue outlook. Lockheed Martin chairman, president and CEO Jim Taiclet commented, 'Based in part on this record of performance as well as the promise of several advanced technologies in development, our U.S. and allied customers are asking us to elevate and accelerate many key programs. For example, several allied nations have recently announced additional F-35 purchases, the U.S. Army has awarded more than $1 billion in missile-related contracts so far, and the U.S. Space Force is ordering additional GPS IIIF satellites. At the same time, our ongoing program review process identified new developments that caused us to re-evaluate the financial position on a set of major legacy programs. As a result, we are taking a number of charges this quarter to address these newly identified risks. We remain committed to delivering these critical capabilities that our customers are counting on and are fully focused on the growth inflection we expect as the result of heightened interest and demand for Lockheed Martin's products and technologies.' RBC Capital lowered the firm's price target on Lockheed Martin to $440 from $480 and kept a Sector Perform rating on the shares. Lockheed Martin's Q2 results were 'soft,' with $1.6B of program losses driving a 78% miss in EPS, the analyst noted. The path to free cash flow growth over the next few years is challenged, the firm said. RTX (RTX) beat Q2 expectations, cut its FY25 EPS view and raised its FY25 revenue outlook. 'We continued our momentum in the second quarter with organic sales and profit growth* across all three segments, including 16 percent commercial aftermarket growth,' said RTX chairman and CEO Chris Calio. 'Our backlog grew to $236 billion, up 15 percent versus prior year, and we secured major awards for our geared turbofan engines and integrated air and missile defense capabilities in the quarter.' Morgan Stanley elevated its price target on RTX to $180 from $165 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm named the stock its 'Top Pick in Aerospace' after the company reported a Q2 beat. Given its strong underlying fundamentals and demand across its end markets, RTX should be able to narrow the valuation gap to premium peers, the analyst argued. Northrop Grumman (NOC) exceeded street expectations in Q2, noting its EPS included a $1.04 benefit from the training services divestiture completed in the quarter. 'The Northrop Grumman team delivered a strong second quarter, with increased sales and outstanding operating performance,' said Kathy Warden, chair, chief executive officer and president. 'We continue to see growing demand globally for our broad range of product offerings, which resulted in 18% international sales growth in the quarter. With confidence in our team and our ability to deliver for our customers, we are increasing our full-year guidance for segment operating income, EPS and free cash flow.' BTIG boosted the firm's price target on Northrop Grumman to $630 from $575 and backed a Buy rating on the shares following the quarterly results. Northrop Grumman remains one of the best ways to play the growth in international defense spending at the large-cap level, the analyst contended.

See Table 9 - 2024 Segment Recast in our EX-99.1 Earnings Release for first quarter 2025. Expand Revenue: Second quarter revenue increased 2%, 6% organically, reflecting growth across all segments, primarily from higher volumes, new program ramps and increased international demand. Operating Margin: GAAP Operating Margin: Second quarter increased 150 bps to 10.5% primarily driven by lower unallocated corporate expenses, including lower LHX NeXt implementation costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and the absence of business divestiture-related losses and impairment of goodwill that impacted 2024. Adjusted Segment Operating Margin: Second quarter expanded 30 bps to 15.9% primarily driven by monetization of legacy end-of-life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, and LHX NeXt driven cost saving across all segments, partially offset by impacts from higher margin Commercial Aviation Solutions (CAS) divestiture. Diluted EPS: GAAP Diluted EPS: Second quarter increased 27% to $2.44 driven by higher operating income and lower interest expense from decreased average outstanding short-term debt balances during second quarter 2025, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Non-GAAP Diluted EPS and Pension Adjusted Non-GAAP Diluted EPS: Second quarter increased 16% to $2.78 and 22% to $2.42, respectively, from higher adjusted segment operating income and lower interest expense from decreased average outstanding short-term debt balances during second quarter 2025, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Cash Flow: Cash From Operations: Second quarter decreased 15% to $640 million driven by working capital timing and cash used for settlement of a longstanding legal matter, partially offset by growth in operating income. Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Second quarter decreased 20% to $574 million, driven by working capital timing, cash used for settlement of a longstanding legal matter, partially offset by growth in operating income and lower capital expenditures.

Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 6% primarily due to ISR classified program ramp. Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin increased 120 bps to 13.2% primarily due to monetization of legacy end-of-life assets, aligned with our transformation and value creation priorities, partially offset by an unfavorable EAC adjustment from the resolution of a contract matter related to lower utilization on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program as it nears completion and impact from divestiture of our CAS business. *Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on page 16.

Excluding the divestiture impact, organic revenue increased 12% from increased production volume across key missile and munitions programs and new program ramp. Operating Margin: Second quarter operating margin increased 50 bps to 13.3%, primarily due to improved performance driven by LHX NeXt driven cost savings and a favorable contract resolution. *Organic revenue is a non-GAAP financial measure defined on page 16. Expand 2025 NON-GAAP EPS GUIDANCE BRIDGE Our updated 2025 non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance reflects an increase of 200 to 300 basis points to the effective tax rate, resulting in a headwind of ~$0.30 at the midpoint. This impact is more than offset by strong first-half performance and increased guidance, driving a net increase of $0.10 to our full-year non-GAAP diluted EPS guidance. 2025 Guidance Non-GAAP diluted EPS (Prior) $10.30 - $10.50 H1 2025 performance and guidance update ~0.40 Non-GAAP EPS (Before tax reform impact) $10.70 - $10.90 Impact of tax reform ~(0.30) Non-GAAP diluted EPS (New)1 $10.40 - $10.60 Expand SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION 2025 Other Information Current Prior FAS/CAS operating adjustment ~$15 million ~$15 million Non-service FAS pension income ~$285 million ~$270 million Net interest expense ~$600 million ~$600 million Effective tax rate on non-GAAP income1 13.5% - 14.5% 11.0% - 12.0% Weighted-average diluted shares ~188 188 - 189 Capital expenditures ~2% revenue ~2% revenue 1Non-GAAP diluted EPS and effective tax rate on non-GAAP income are non-GAAP financial measures defined on page 16.

Expand Forward-Looking Statements This earnings release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws made in reliance on the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Examples include, but are not limited to: share repurchases; divestiture and realignment impacts; 2025 guidance; budget increases; anticipated LHX NeXt initiative costs and savings; supplemental information for 2025; projection of other financial items; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's current expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions and information currently available to management, and are not guarantees of future performance or actual results. Important risks that could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements or from our historical results include, but are not limited to, risks arising from: competitive markets; U.S. Government spending priorities; changes in contract mix; inflation; tariffs and potential trade disputes; unilateral contract action by the U.S. Government; uncertain economic conditions; future geo-political events; supply chain disruptions; impacts of LHX NeXt; indebtedness; defined benefit plan liabilities and returns; interest rates and other market factors; changes in effective tax rate or additional tax exposures; pending and contemplated divestitures. These and other important risks that could impact forward-looking statements are described more fully in the "Risk Factors" in our Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 and our Form 10-Q for Q1 2025 filed with the SEC. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section, and we have no duty to and disclaim any intention or obligation, other than imposed by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures Management believes the adjustments to non-GAAP Financial Measures ("NGFMs") in the tables beginning on page 13 are useful to investors because the excluded costs do not reflect our ongoing operating performance. Such adjustments, considered together with the unadjusted GAAP financial measures, provide information that management believes is useful to investors to understand period-over-period operating results separate from items that management believes may disproportionately impact operating results in any particular period; however there is no guarantee that items excluded from NGFMs will not reoccur in future periods. Management also believes that NGFMs enhance the ability of investors to analyze business trends, understand performance and evaluate our initiatives to drive improved financial performance. Management utilizes NGFMs to guide forecasting and long-term planning and for compensation purposes. NGFMs should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of forward-looking NGFMs to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort because of inherent difficulty in forecasting and quantifying comparable GAAP measures and applicable adjustments and other amounts necessary for a reconciliation because of potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility of applicable adjustments and other unusual amounts that could disproportionately impact future GAAP results, such as the impact of defined benefit plan performance, LHX NeXt, portfolio shaping activities, and the extent of tax deductibility.
