Aerospace revenues increased by 7% in the third quarter of 2024, as compared to the third quarter of 2023 mainly due to increased UAS sales in Israel.

Impact of the “Swords of Iron” War on the Company:

On October 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel’s southern border from the Gaza Strip and conducted a series of brutal attacks on civilian and military targets. Hamas also launched extensive rocket attacks on the Israeli population and industrial centers located along Israel’s border with the Gaza Strip and on many other parts of the country. Israel has also been attacked by other terrorist organizations on different fronts, including from Lebanon, which have prompted military responses from Israel on these fronts. Following the attacks, the State of Israel declared a state of war, which is ongoing.

Since the commencement of hostilities, Elbit Systems has experienced a material increased demand for its products and solutions from the Israel Ministry of Defense (IMOD) compared to the demand levels prior to the war. The Company has also increased its support to the IMOD, mainly through deliveries of its systems and the dedicated efforts of our employees. At the same time, the Company continues its activities in the international markets with the support of its local subsidiaries. Subject to further developments, which are difficult to predict, the IMOD’s increased demand for the Company’s products and solutions may continue and could generate material additional orders for the Company.

While the vast majority of the facilities in Israel continue to operate uninterrupted, some operations have experienced disruptions due to supply chain and operational constraints, including among others due to limitations on exports to Israel, increase of transportation costs and delays, material and component shortages, attacks by anti-Israeli organizations, the relocation of certain production lines, evacuation of employees and employee recruitment for reserve duty. The number of employees recruited was approximately 8% as of September 30, 2024, and could fluctuate depending on future developments.

Elbit Systems has taken a number of steps to protect the safety and the security of its employees in Israel and abroad, to support its increased production, to mitigate existing and potential supply chain disruptions and to maintain business continuity, including the relocation of production lines from facilities in evacuated areas to alternative facilities; recruitment of additional employees; increased monitoring of global supply chains to identify delays, shortages and bottlenecks; rescheduling of deliveries to certain customers as necessary; and an increase of inventories.

The extent of the effects of the war on the Company’s performance will depend on future developments of the war that are difficult to predict at this time, including its duration and scope. We continue to monitor the situation closely.

* Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data, including Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, Adjusted net income, and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, is presented to enable investors to have additional information on our business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to our financial results. We believe such data provides useful information to investors and analysts by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of our financial results over time. The non-GAAP adjustments exclude amortization expenses of intangible assets related to acquisitions that occurred mainly in prior periods, capital gains related primarily to the sale of investments, restructuring activities, uncompensated costs related to “Swords of Iron” war, non-cash stock based compensation expenses, revaluations of investments in affiliated companies, non-operating foreign exchange gains or losses, one-time tax expenses, and the effect of tax on each of these items. We present these non-GAAP financial measures because management believes they supplement and/or enhance management’s, analysts’ and investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past, and future periods.

Specifically, management uses Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders to measure the ongoing gross profit, operating profit and net income performance of the Company because the measure adjusts for more significant non-recurring items, amortization expenses of intangible assets relating to prior acquisitions, and non-cash expense which can fluctuate year to year.

We believe Adjusted gross profit, Adjusted operating income, and Adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders are useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because they provide measures of the Company’s ongoing performance that enable these users to perform trend analysis using comparable data.

Management uses Adjusted diluted earnings per share to evaluate further adjusted net income attributable to the Company’s shareholders while considering changes in the number of diluted shares over comparable periods.

We believe adjusted diluted earnings per share is useful to existing shareholders, potential shareholders and other users of our financial information because it also enables these users to evaluate adjusted net income attributable to Company’s shareholders on a per-share basis.

The non-GAAP measures used by the Company are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. We believe that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.

Investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies. They should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Legit Security Releases Survey Report on GenAI in Software Development, Revealing Pervasive Security Challenges Despite High Rate of Adoption

Published

on

By

Most developers (85%) and security teams (75%) have security concerns over relying on GenAI to develop software.

BOSTON, Nov. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Legit Security, the definitive application security posture management (ASPM) leader providing end-to-end visibility and protection across the entire software factory, today announced the release of a new survey report, “Use and Security of GenAI in Software Development.” Capturing the perspectives of security and development professionals to uncover concerns about the visibility into and approaches to managing GenAI, the report’s findings revealed that both teams face critical security challenges when using GenAI in software development.

“As generative AI transforms software development and becomes increasingly embedded in the development lifecycle, there are some real security concerns among developers and security teams,” said Liav Caspi, Co-Founder and CTO at Legit. “Our research found that teams are challenged with balancing the innovations of GenAI and the risks it introduces by exposing their applications and their software supply chain to new vulnerabilities. While GenAI is undoubtedly the future of software development, organizations must be mindful of its new risks and ensure they have the appropriate visibility into and control over its use.”

GenAI is quickly changing the software development process by automating tasks that once took developers hours, if not days, to complete, bolstering efficiency and productivity. Eighty-eight percent of developers report using it within their development organization, reflecting a broad shift in how development teams augment their capabilities with AI to meet tight deadlines and complex project demands. Despite the high rate of adoption, security is a critical concern. For instance, previous research by Legit revealed that LLMs and AI models contain bugs and vulnerabilities that can lead to AI supply chain attacks.

The report’s key findings include:

Increased Use of GenAI in Software Development: 96% of security and software development professionals report that their companies use GenAI-based solutions for building or delivering applications. Among these respondents, 79% report that all or most of their development teams regularly use GenAI.Code Assistant Use Is Worrying: 84% of security professionals are concerned about using code assistants and cite unknown and/or malicious code as their primary concern.Growing Concerns Over GenAI Security: 98% believe that security teams need a better handle on how GenAI-based solutions are used in development. 94% report they need more effective ways to manage GenAI use in their company’s research and development efforts.Apprehension on GenAI Over-Reliance: 85% of developers and 75% of those in security have security concerns over relying too much on GenAI solutions to develop software.Developers Fear Loss of Critical Thinking: More developers than security professionals report concern over loss of critical thinking due to AI use in development (8% vs. 3%).GenAI is the Future: 95% of respondents predict that software developers will be more reliant on GenAI in the next five years, with none foreseeing reduced reliance.

The report’s findings underscore GenAI’s importance in software development. However, as organizations increasingly adopt it into their CI/CD pipelines and software supply chains, they need to prioritize security and improve oversight while boosting collaboration between development and security teams.

To download the report, visit https://info.legitsecurity.com/survey-report-use-and-security-of-genai-in-software-development.

Methodology
The survey, conducted by Regina Corso Consulting on behalf of Legit Security, gathered insights from over 400 security professionals and software developers across various industries in North America. Respondents were drawn from companies of all sizes, from small tech startups to large multinational organizations, all dealing with the integration of AI into their software development processes.
