ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Page Reports of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (PCAOB ID No. 42 ) 77 Consolidated Statements of Earnings 79 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income 80 Consolidated Balance Sheets 81 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows 82 Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity 83 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements 84 76 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Leonardo DRS, Inc. Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leonardo DRS, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of earnings, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated March 3, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosure to which it relates. 77 Revenue recognition – Estimates to complete for certain long-term contracts Description of the Matter As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, revenues for the majority of contracts are recognized using the over-time percentage of completion cost-to-cost method of accounting measured by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated contract costs at completion (the “cost-to-cost method of accounting”). Under this method, the costs incurred represent an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of work performed and transfer of control to the customers. Due to the long-term nature of contracts, developing the estimated total cost at completion often requires management to make judgments. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance. Adjustments to original estimates for a contract's revenue, estimated costs at completion and estimated profit or loss often are required as work progresses under these contracts and as experience is gained and more information is obtained by management. Auditing the Company’s estimated costs at completion for certain long-term contracts that recognize revenue using the cost-to-cost method of accounting was complex due to the judgment involved in evaluating management’s estimates. Estimates of total cost at completion for long-term contracts are affected by management’s assessment of the current status of the contract and expectation for performance on the contract, as well as historical experience. How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the relevant internal controls related to the Company’s revenue recognition process. For example, we tested internal controls over management’s review of the estimate at completion analysis and the estimated total costs at completion for certain long-term contracts. We also tested management’s controls to validate that the data used in the estimate at completion analysis was complete and accurate. To test the Company’s estimates of the costs at completion for certain long-term contracts, our audit procedures included, among other things, evaluating management’s cost estimates by comparing planned costs to actual costs incurred to date and meeting with program management to confirm our understanding of the risks associated with the contract and current contract performance. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2022.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies A. Organization Leonardo DRS, Inc., together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (hereinafter, “DRS,” “the Company,” “us,” “our,” or “we”) is a supplier of defense electronics products, systems and military support services. The Company’s largest shareholder is Leonardo S.p.A, an Italian multi-national aerospace, defense and security company headquartered in Rome, Italy, through its ultimate sole ownership of Leonardo US Holding, LLC (“US Holding”). US Holding is the majority stockholder of the Company. DRS is a provider of defense products and technologies that are used across land, air, sea, space and cyber domains. Our diverse array of defense systems and solutions are offered to all branches of the U.S. military, major aerospace and defense prime contractors, government intelligence agencies, international military customers and industrial markets for deployment on a wide range of military platforms. We focus our capabilities in areas of critical importance to the U.S. military, such as advanced sensing, network computing, force protection and electric power and propulsion. These capabilities directly align with our two reportable operating segments: Advanced Sensing and Computing and Integrated Mission Systems. The U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”) is our largest customer and accounts for approximately 79 %, 80 %, and 84 % of our total revenues as an end-user for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Specific international and commercial market opportunities exist within these segments and comprise approximately 21 %, 20 %, and 16 % of our total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our two reportable segments reflect the way performance is assessed and resources are allocated by our Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). Advanced Sensing and Computing Our Advanced Sensing and Computing (“ASC”) segment designs, develops and manufactures sensing and network computing technology that enables real-time situational awareness required for enhanced operational decision making and execution by our customers. Our leading sensing capabilities span applications including missions requiring advanced detection, precision targeting and surveillance sensing, long range electro-optic/infrared (“EO/IR”), signals intelligence (“SIGINT”) and other intelligence systems, electronic warfare (“EW”), ground vehicle sensing, next generation active electronically scanned array tactical radars, dismounted soldier sensing and space sensing. Across our offerings, we are focused on advancing sensor distance, precision, clarity, definition, spectral depth and effectiveness. Furthermore, we seek to leverage our multi-decade experience to optimize size, weight, power and cost tailored to our customers’ specific mission requirements, including in space-based applications for earth surveillance and missile tracking. Our sensing capabilities are complemented by our rugged, trusted and cyber resilient network computing products. Our network computing offering is utilized across a broad range of mission applications including platform computing on ground and shipboard (both surface ship and submarine) for advanced battle management, combat systems, radar, command and control (“C2”), tactical networks, tactical computing and communications. Our network computing products support the DoD’s need for greater situational understanding at the tactical edge and permits data to be rapidly transmitted securely from command centers to forward-positioned defense assets. Integrated Mission Systems Our Integrated Mission Systems (“IMS”) segment designs, develops, manufactures and integrates power conversion, control and distribution systems, ship propulsion systems, motors and variable 84 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) frequency drives, force protection systems, transportation and logistics systems for the U.S. and allied defense customers. Our naval power and propulsion systems are providing next-generation power capabilities for the future fleet. DRS is currently a leading provider of next-generation electrical propulsion systems for the U.S. Navy. We provide power conversion, control, distribution and propulsion systems for the U.S. Navy’s top priority shipbuilding programs, including the Columbia Class ballistic missile submarine, the first modern U.S. electric drive submarine. We believe DRS is well positioned to meet the needs of an increasingly electrified fleet with our high-efficiency, power dense permanent magnet motors, energy storage systems and associated efficient, rugged and compact power conversion, electrical actuation systems, and advanced cooling technologies. DRS has a long history of providing a number of other critical products to the U.S. Navy with a significant installed base on submarines, aircraft carriers and other surface ships including motor controllers, instrumentation and control equipment, electrical actuation systems, and thermal management systems for electronics and ship stores refrigeration. Our technologies and systems help protect U.S. forces and assets against increasingly sophisticated and proliferating threats. DRS is an integrator of systems in ground vehicles for short-range air defense, counter-unmanned aerial systems (“C-UAS”), and vehicle survivability and protection. This integrator role includes utilizing radars, EW equipment, reconnaissance and surveillance systems, modular combat vehicle turrets, and stabilized sensor suites, and kinetic countermeasures for short-range air defense. Our force protection systems, including solutions for C-UAS, short-range air defense systems and active protection systems used to defend ground combat vehicles, help protect personnel and defense assets from these growing threats. Other The Company separately presents the unallocable general and administrative costs associated with corporate functions and certain non-operating subsidiaries of the Company as Corporate & Eliminations. See Note 19: Segment Information for further information regarding our operating segments. B. Basis of Presentation The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of DRS, its wholly owned subsidiaries and its controlling interests. Interests in joint ventures that are controlled by the Company, or for which the Company is otherwise deemed to be the primary beneficiary, are consolidated. For joint ventures in which the Company does not have a controlling interest, but exerts significant influence, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. C. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates and assumptions include those relating to the recognition of contract revenues and estimated costs to complete contracts in process, recoverability of reported amounts of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of acquired intangibles, accounting for business combinations, valuation of pensions and other postretirement benefits, the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the valuation of unrecognized tax benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 85 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) D. Revenue Recognition Our revenues consist primarily of sales of products (tangible goods) to customers. We recognize the majority of our revenue from contracts with customers using an over time, percentage of completion cost-to-cost method of accounting measured by the ratio of cumulative costs incurred to date to estimated total contract costs at completion (the "cost-to-cost method"). On certain other contracts, primarily time-and-materials (“T&M”) and cost-plus contracts, revenue is recognized using the right-to-invoice practical expedient as we are contractually able to bill our customers based on control transferred to the customer. See Note 3 : Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional information regarding revenue recognition. E. Cost of Revenues Cost of revenues includes materials, labor and overhead costs incurred in the manufacturing, design, and provision of products and services sold in the period as well as warranty costs. Material costs include raw materials, purchased components and sub-assemblies, outside processing and inbound freight costs. Labor and overhead costs consist of direct and indirect manufacturing costs, including wages and fringe benefits, operating supplies, depreciation and amortization, occupancy costs, and purchasing, receiving and inspection costs. F. Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract Costs to obtain a contract are incremental direct costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer, including sales commissions and dealer fees, and are capitalized if material. Costs to fulfill a contract include costs directly related to a contract or a specific anticipated contract (for example, mobilization, set-up and certain design costs) that generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. These costs are capitalized to the extent they are expected to be recovered from the associated contract. Capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a contract are amortized to expense over the expected period of benefit for contracts with terms greater than one year on a systematic basis that is consistent with the pattern of transfer of the associated goods and services to the customer. As a practical expedient, capitalized costs to obtain a contract with a term of one year or less are expensed as incurred. Capitalized costs to obtain or fulfill a contract were $ 38 million and $ 52 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. G. Research and Development Expenses We conduct research and development (“R&D”) activities using our own funds (referred to as company-funded R&D or independent research and development (“IR&D”)) and under contractual arrangements with our customers (referred to as customer-funded R&D) to enhance existing products and services and to develop future technologies. R&D costs include basic research, applied research, concept formulation studies, design, development, and related test activities. IR&D costs are allocated to customer contracts as part of the general and administrative overhead costs and generally recoverable on our customer contracts with the U.S. government. Customer-funded R&D costs are charged directly to the related customer contract. R&D costs are expensed as incurred. Company-funded R&D charged to general and administrative expenses totaled $ 92 million, $ 82 million, and $ 58 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. H. Foreign Currency Significant transactions in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the approximate prevailing rate at the time of the transaction. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses in 2024, 2023 and 2022 were immaterial to the Company's results of operations. The operations of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are translated from the local (functional) currencies into U.S. dollars using weighted average rates of exchange during each monthly period. The rates of exchange at each balance sheet date are used for translating certain balance sheet accounts and gains or losses resulting from these 86 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) translation adjustments are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of other comprehensive income. I. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits with banks or other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. J. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of amounts currently due from customers. We maintain an allowance recorded in the allowance for current expected credit losses account that is estimated and recorded utilizing relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and a reasonable and supportable forecast that affects the collectability of the related financial asset. See Note 4 : Accounts Receivable for additional information regarding accounts receivable. K. Inventories Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (determined by either actual, weighted average or first-in, first-out methods) or net realizable value, and include direct production costs as well as indirect costs, such as factory overhead. The net realizable value is calculated as the expected sales price in the course of normal operations net of estimated costs to finish and sell the goods. See Note 6 : Inventories for additional information regarding inventories. L. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of plant, machinery and equipment and building and building improvements generally range from 3 to 10 years and 15 to 40 years, respectively. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvements or the remaining life of the lease. When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the net gain or loss is included in the determination of net earnings. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and renewals and improvements are capitalized. See Note 7 : Property, Plant and Equipment for additional information regarding property, plant and equipment. M. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid to acquire a business over the fair value of net assets acquired. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units and is reviewed for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis, or whenever changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. A reporting unit is an operating segment, or one level below that operating segment (the component level) if discrete financial information is prepared and regularly reviewed by the segment manager. Two or more components of an operating segment may be aggregated and deemed a single reporting unit if the components have similar economic characteristics. Based upon the aggregation criteria the Company concluded it had six reporting units at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company uses quantitative assessments and qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If the optional qualitative assessment is performed (Step 0) and the Company concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, an additional quantitative fair value test (Step 1) is performed. When performing the Step 1 goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair values of each of our reporting units to their respective carrying values. In order to compute the fair value of our reporting units, we primarily use the income approach based on the discounted cash flows that each reporting unit expects to generate in the future, consistent with our operating plans. Determining the fair value of our 87 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) reporting units requires significant judgments, including the timing and amount of future cash flows, long-term growth rates, determination of the weighted average cost of capital and terminal value assumptions. If, based on the quantitative fair value test, the Company concludes that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the Company will recognize a goodwill impairment loss in an amount equal to that excess. The Company completed impairment tests as of October 1, 2024 and 2023, and December 31, 2022 and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was deemed to be necessary. See Note 9 : Goodwill for additional information regarding goodwill. N. Long-Lived Assets and Acquired Identifiable Intangible Assets Identifiable intangible assets represent assets acquired as part of the Company's business acquisitions and include customer and program/contract-related assets. The values assigned to acquired identifiable intangible assets are determined as of the date of acquisition based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax cash flows from those assets over their lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and revenues, all of which are discounted to present value. The Company assesses the recoverability of the carrying value of its long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets or asset group may not be recoverable. If there are any indicators of impairment present, the Company then evaluates the recoverability of the potentially impaired long-lived assets and acquired identifiable intangible assets based upon expectations of undiscounted net cash flows from such assets. If the sum of the expected future undiscounted net cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset or asset group, a loss is recognized for the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying amount of the assets. Assets to be disposed of, including those of discontinued operations, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value, less the costs to sell. See Note 7 : Property, Plant and Equipment , Note 10 : Intangible Assets and Note 11: Leases for additional information regarding long-lived assets and intangible assets. O. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits The obligations for the Company's pension plans and postretirement benefit plans and the related annual costs of employee benefits are calculated based on several long-term assumptions, including discount rates for employee benefit liabilities, rates of return on plan assets, and expected annual increases in the costs of medical and other health care benefits in the case of postretirement benefit plans. These long-term assumptions are subject to revision based on changes in interest rates, financial market conditions, expected versus actual returns on plan assets, participant mortality rates and other actuarial assumptions, including benefit formulas and levels, and rates of increase in the costs of benefits. Changes in these assumptions, if significant, can materially affect the amount of annual net periodic benefit costs recognized in the Company's results of operations from one year to the next, the liabilities for the pension plans and postretirement benefit plans and the Company's annual cash requirements to fund these plans. See Note 14 : Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits for further information regarding our pension and postretirement plans. P. Income Taxes Beginning October 4, 2022, DRS began filing a consolidated return with only DRS and subsidiaries for federal and state purposes. Prior to October 4, 2022, DRS was included in the U.S. federal and state tax returns of US Holding. DRS and US Holding had entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement (“Tax Allocation Agreement”), dated as of November 16, 2020, with members of an affiliated group, as defined in Section 1504(a) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Tax Code”), members of one or more consolidated, combined, unitary or similar state tax groups and additional parties who are part of an “expanded affiliated group” for certain tax purposes. The agreement provided for the method of computing and allocating the consolidated U.S. federal tax liability of the affiliated group among its members and of allocating any state group tax liabilities among the state members for the taxable year 88 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) ending December 31, 2008 and each subsequent year in which the parties are members of a group (whether federal or state). The agreement also provided for reimbursement of US Holding and/or DRS for payment of such tax liabilities, for compensation of any member for use of its “net operating loss” or “tax credits” in arriving at such tax liabilities and the allocation and payment of any refund arising from a carryback of net operating losses or tax credits from subsequent taxable years. Under the agreement, the parties agreed to calculate and allocate their respective tax liabilities and other tax attributes for taxable years beginning with the first consolidated taxable year that included DRS (i.e., the taxable year ended December 31, 2008) as if the agreement was then in effect. Although DRS will file its federal consolidated return outside of US Holding post October 3, 2022, the Tax Allocation Agreement will remain in effect for all historic unaudited periods (federal or state) and all applicable prospective periods where the expanded affiliated relationship may warrant it. The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Income taxes as presented attribute deferred income taxes of US Holding to DRS in a manner that is systematic, rational and consistent with the asset and liability method and the governing Tax Allocation Agreement which allocates the tax liability amongst the entities, including DRS. The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of DRS’ assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when such changes are enacted. In general, the taxable income of DRS is included in the consolidated U.S. federal and state tax returns of US Holding for the short taxable year ended October 3, 2022. Where applicable, US Holding’s current portion of U.S. federal income taxes payable were offset against DRS’ net operating loss carryforwards in the period the related tax expense was recorded. Consequently, our net operating loss carryforwards are deemed to have been settled with US Holding in each year in an amount commensurate with the carrying value of the tax effected net operating loss utilized. If management determines that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset is not “more likely than not” to be realized, a valuation allowance is recorded as a component of the income tax provision to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amounts expected to be realized. In determining whether the Company’s deferred tax assets are realizable, management considers all evidence, both positive and negative, including the history of financial reporting earnings, existing taxable temporary differences and their projected reversals, as well as projected future income and tax planning strategies. We believe it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient taxable income in future periods to realize our deferred tax assets, subject to the valuation allowances recognized. The Company assesses its tax positions for all periods open to examination by tax authorities based on the latest available information. Those positions are evaluated to determine whether they will more likely than not be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authorities. Liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits are measured based on the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. These unrecognized tax benefits are recorded as a component of income tax expense. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are not material. The Company treats the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") tax as a period cost when incurred. See Note 12 : Income Taxes for additional information regarding income taxes. 89 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Q. Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period. The computation of diluted EPS includes the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based compensation awards, only in periods in which such effect would have been dilutive for the period. On November 23, 2022, the Company completed a forward stock split of 1.451345331 -for-1 share of common stock. The Consolidated Financial Statements were retroactively adjusted as necessary to reflect the November 23, 2022 forward stock split for all periods presented. There were 145 million and 210 million basic and diluted common shares outstanding before and after the November 23, 2022 forward stock split, respectively. In addition, 49,742,187 shares of common stock were issued in connection with the RADA merger on November 28, 2022. See Note 16 : Earnings Per Share for additional information regarding earnings per share. R. Fair Value Measurements Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant on the measurement date. We are required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value, and to utilize a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three hierarchical levels used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable. Level 3 — Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable. In certain instances, fair value is determined through information obtained from third parties using the latest available market data. In obtaining such data from third parties, we have evaluated the methodologies used to develop the estimate of fair value in order to assess whether such valuations are representative of fair value. The Company categorizes plan assets for disclosure purposes in accordance with this fair value hierarchy. See Note 14: Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits for further information regarding our pension and postretirement plans. The fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt obligations is calculated using Level 2 inputs, based on interest rates available for debt with terms and maturities similar to the Company’s existing debt arrangements. See Note 13: Debt for further information regarding debt. S. Financial Instruments Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Financial instruments are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. T. Acquisitions, Investments, Variable Interest Entities and Divestitures Acquisitions Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of acquired businesses from the date of acquisition. We account for acquired businesses using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that any assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be measured at their respective fair values on the acquisition date. The accounting for business combinations requires the Company to make significant 90 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) judgments and estimates. Any excess of the fair value of consideration transferred over the assigned values of the net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. On November 28, 2022, the Company announced the successful completion of the all-stock merger between Leonardo DRS and RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (“RADA”), a leading Israel-based provider of small-form tactical radar, to become a combined public company. At the time of the transaction, RADA shareholders retained approximately 19 % ownership in the combined Company with Leonardo DRS’s parent company, Leonardo S.p.A., (MIL: LDO), owning the remaining 81 %. The acquisition of RADA has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations , with the Company as the accounting acquirer, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair value. The acquisition was completed on November 28, 2022, when each issued and outstanding ordinary share of RADA was converted and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. The total purchase consideration for RADA was $ 511 million and is comprised of the Company’s shares issued in exchange for all issued and outstanding common shares of RADA, as well as the portion of replacement stock compensation awards’ fair value attributable to pre-combination services. See Note 2: Business Acquisition for additional information regarding the transaction. Investments Investments where we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are included in other noncurrent assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Significant influence typically exists if we have a 20% to 50% ownership interest in the investee. Under this method of accounting, our share of the net earnings or losses of the investee is included in operating profit in other operating income, net on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings since the activities of the investee are closely aligned with the operations of the business segment holding the investment. We evaluate our equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may be impaired. If a decline in the value of an equity method investment is determined to be other than temporary, a loss is therefore recorded during the current period. The Company sold its interest in its only investment accounted for under the equity method, Advanced Acoustic Concepts, LLC, on July 8, 2022. Our share of net earnings related to our equity method investments was $ 1 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, which was included in our Advanced Sensing and Computing business segment operating profit. The Company has an investment in a private company in which we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence. This investment is carried at cost and we evaluate for possible impairment quarterly. Variable Interest Entities The Company occasionally forms joint ventures and/or enters into arrangements with special purpose limited liability companies for the purpose of bidding and executing on specific projects. The Company analyzes each such arrangement to determine whether it represents a variable interest entity (“VIE”). If the arrangement is determined to be a VIE, the Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and if it is, consequently required to consolidate the VIE. The Company did not have any investments in VIEs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. Divestitures On March 21, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Global Enterprise Solutions (“GES”) business to SES Government Solutions, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SES S.A., for a selling price of $ 450 million subject to certain working capital adjustments. The transaction was completed on August 1, 2022, and resulted in cash proceeds of $ 427 million after net working capital adjustments. The transaction netted an aggregate pretax gain net of transaction costs of $ 309 million ($ 239 million after tax) of which $ 323 million was included in other operating (expenses) income, net 91 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) partially reduced by aggregate transaction costs of $ 14 million included in general and administrative costs and tax expenses of $ 70 million. GES, which was part of the ASC segment, provides commercial satellite communications to the U.S. government and delivers satellite communications and security solutions to customers worldwide. SES S.A. has guaranteed the payment of the purchase price and performance of all other obligations of SES Government Solutions, Inc. under the agreement. The Company recorded operating earnings for the GES business of $ 13 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the strategic initiative to divest of the Company’s interest in Advanced Acoustic Concepts, LLC (“AAC”). On April 19, 2022, we entered into a definitive sales agreement to divest our share of our equity investment in AAC for $ 56 million to Thales Defense & Security, Inc., the minority partner in the joint venture. The transaction was completed on July 8, 2022 and resulted in proceeds of $ 56 million. The transaction netted an aggregate pretax gain of $ 31 million ($ 22 million net of taxes). The aggregate gain of $ 31 million is included in other operating (expenses) income, net offset by tax expense of $ 9 million. The proceeds generated from the GES and AAC divestitures resulted in a $ 396 million dividend to US Holding, at the time, our sole shareholder. The $ 396 million represents the proceeds generated net of our costs to sell and estimated tax obligations. The dividend was issued on August 5, 2022. U. Share-based Compensation The fair value of stock awards is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date. Compensation expense for stock awards is measured based on the grant date fair value and recognized over the vesting period. For purposes of measuring compensation expense, the amount of shares ultimately expected to vest is estimated at each reporting date based on Company's expectations regarding the relevant service or performance criteria. For awards with a service condition only, the Company recognizes the compensation expense on a straight-line basis. See Note 15: Share-based Compensation Plans for further information regarding our share-based compensation plans. V. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures , which requires enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses.

We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new pronouncement and plan to adopt these amendments using the prospective approach for annual disclosures in fiscal year 2025. 92 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses , which requires disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, on a prospective basis. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new pronouncement. Note 2. Business Acquisition On June 21, 2022, the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with RADA, a leading Israel-based provider of small-form tactical radar, for an all-stock merger, with RADA surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The Company acquired RADA as part of the Company’s goal to become a market leader in advanced sensing and force protection. The acquisition of RADA has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, with the Company as the accounting acquirer, which requires the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair value. The acquisition was completed on November 28, 2022, when each issued and outstanding ordinary share of RADA was converted and exchanged for one share of common stock of the Company. The total purchase consideration for RADA was $ 511 million and is comprised of the Company’s shares of common stock issued in exchange for all issued and outstanding ordinary shares of RADA, as well as the portion of replacement stock compensation awards’ fair value attributable to pre-combination services. The Company recognized transaction costs of $ 27 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. These costs were associated with advisory, legal, and consulting services and are presented in general and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Purchase consideration - The following summarizes the purchase consideration transferred to RADA shareholders: (in millions, except per share data) RADA ordinary shares outstanding as of November 28, 2022 50 Share exchange ratio 1 Total Company shares issued 50 Fair value of the Company common stock (RADA share price on November 28, 2022) $ 9.87 Total fair value of the Company common stock issued $ 491 Replacement share-based payment awards pre-combination vesting expense 20 Aggregate purchase consideration $ 511 93 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Purchase price allocation - The allocation of the purchase consideration to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on the estimated fair values as follows: (Dollars in millions) Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 19 Accounts receivable, net 12 Inventories 72 Prepaid expenses 3 Other current assets 4 Property, plant and equipment, net 26 Intangible assets 131 Other noncurrent assets 14 Total identifiable assets acquired $ 281 Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 6 Contract liabilities 2 Other current liabilities 21 Deferred tax liabilities 5 Other noncurrent liabilities 22 Total liabilities assumed $ 56 Net assets acquired, excluding goodwill $ 225 Goodwill $ 286 During 2023, the Company completed the purchase price allocation for this transaction and adjusted the preliminary purchase price allocation to increase other current liabilities and goodwill by $ 2 million. The excess of the total consideration over the tangible assets, identifiable intangible assets, and assumed liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Identifiable intangibles assets of $ 131 million consist of $ 90 million of technology related assets while the remaining $ 41 million consists of customer and contractual relationships. The goodwill of $ 286 million arising from the acquisition is primarily attributable to the growth opportunities related to the RADA business. None of the goodwill resulting from the acquisition is deductible for tax purposes. All of the goodwill recognized related to the RADA acquisition was assigned to the ASC segment. Note 3. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company recognizes revenue for each separately identifiable performance obligation in a contract representing an obligation to transfer a distinct good or service to a customer. In most cases, goods and services provided under the Company’s contracts are accounted for as single performance obligations due to the complex and integrated nature of our products and services. These contracts generally require significant integration of a group of goods and/or services to deliver a combined output. In some contracts, the Company provides multiple distinct goods or services to a customer. In those cases, the Company accounts for the distinct contract deliverables as separate performance obligations and allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price, which is generally estimated using cost plus a reasonable margin. While the Company provides warranties on certain contracts, we typically do not provide for services beyond standard assurances and therefore do not consider warranties to be separate performance obligations. Typically, we enter into three types of contracts: fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts and T&M contracts (cost-plus contracts and T&M contracts are aggregated below as flexibly priced contracts). The 94 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) majority of our total revenues are derived from fixed-price contracts. Refer to the revenue disaggregation disclosures that follow. For fixed-price contracts, customers agree to pay a fixed amount, negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. For cost-plus contracts, typically we are reimbursed for allowable or otherwise defined total costs (defined as cost of revenues plus allowable general and administrative expenses) incurred, plus a fee. The contracts may also include incentives for various performance criteria, including quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness. In addition, costs are generally subject to review by clients and regulatory audit agencies, and such reviews could result in costs being disputed as non-reimbursable under the terms of the contract. T&M contracts provide for reimbursement of labor hours expended at a contractual fixed labor rate per hour, plus the actual costs of material and other direct non-labor costs. The fixed labor rates on T&M contracts include amounts for the cost of direct labor, indirect contract costs and profit. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when the performance obligations are satisfied through the transfer of control over the good or service to the customer, which may occur either over time or at a point in time. Revenues for the majority of our contracts are measured using the over time, percentage of completion cost-to-cost method of accounting to calculate percentage of completion. We believe this is an appropriate measure of progress toward satisfaction of performance obligations as this measure most accurately depicts the progress of our work and transfer of control to our customers. Due to the long-term nature of many of our contracts, developing the estimated transaction price and total cost at completion often requires judgment. The estimated transaction price may include variable consideration such as performance incentives, requests for equitable adjustment (“REAs”) and claims. Variable consideration is included in the estimated transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Factors that must be considered in estimating the cost of the work to be completed include the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, subcontractor performance and the risk and impact of delayed performance. After establishing the estimated total cost at completion, we follow a standard Estimate at Completion (“EAC”) process in which we review the progress and performance on our ongoing contracts on a routine basis. Adjustments to original estimates for a contract's revenue, estimated costs at completion and estimated profit or loss often are required as work progresses under a contract, as experience is gained and as more information is obtained, even though the scope of work required under the contract may not change and are also required if contract modifications occur. When adjustments in estimated total costs at completion are determined, the related impact on revenue and operating earnings are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of such adjustments for all prior periods. Any anticipated losses on these contracts are fully recognized in the period in which the losses become evident. Net EAC adjustments had the following impacts to revenue for the periods presented: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Revenue and operating earnings $ ( 25 ) $ ( 23 ) $ ( 26 ) Total % of revenue 1 % 1 % 1 % Net earnings ( 20 ) ( 18 ) ( 19 ) Impact on diluted earnings per share $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.09 ) 95 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) The impacts noted above are attributed primarily to changes in our firm-fixed-price development type programs as well as the impacts of inflation and production inefficiencies on certain fixed price production programs. In 2024 the adjustments consist largely of changes in the designs required to achieve contractual specifications for fixed price development programs and increased material cost within our IMS and ASC segments that resulted in a change in the programs’ estimates and related profitability. The reductions to revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024, were related to certain masted surveillance and surface ship power and propulsion programs within our IMS segment as well as soldier sensing programs within our ASC segment. These impacts were partially offset by improved contractual performance realized on our propulsion contracts on the Columbia Class submarine contracts. Conversely, if the requirements for the recognition of contracts over time are not met, revenue is recognized at a point in time when control transfers to the customer, which is generally upon transfer of title. In such cases, the production that is in progress and costs that will be recognized at a future point in time are reported within inventories. Contract Assets and Liabilities The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts are billed as work progresses in accordance with agreed-upon contractual terms, either at periodic intervals (e.g., biweekly or monthly) or upon achievement of contractual milestones. Generally, billing occurs subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, we sometimes receive advances or deposits from our customers before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. Contract assets and contract liabilities as of the dates presented were: December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Contract assets $ 872 $ 908 Contract liabilities 399 335 Revenue recognized in 2024 and 2023 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year was $ 288 million and $ 180 million, respectively. Contract assets related to amounts withheld by customers until contract completion are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because the intent is to protect the customers from our failure to satisfactorily complete our performance obligations. Payments received from customers in advance of revenue recognition (contract liabilities) are not considered a significant financing component of our contracts because they are utilized to pay for contract costs within a one-year period or are requested by us to ensure the customers meet their payment obligations. Value of Remaining Performance Obligations The value of remaining performance obligations, which we also refer to as total backlog, includes the following components: • Funded - Funded backlog represents the revenue value of orders for services under existing contracts for which funding is appropriated or otherwise authorized less revenue previously recognized on these contracts. • Unfunded - Unfunded backlog represents the revenue value of firm orders for products and services under existing contracts for which funding has not yet been appropriated less funding previously recognized on these contracts. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, our total backlog was $ 8,509 million and $ 7,751 million, respectively. We expect to recognize approximately 29 % of our December 31, 2024 backlog as revenue 96 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) over the next twelve months , with the remainder to be recognized thereafter. Approximately 50 % of our total backlog relates to long-term contracts on electric power and propulsion programs with the U.S. Navy, which are expected to be recognized as revenue over a span of up to 15 years. Disaggregation of Revenue ASC : ASC revenue is primarily derived from U.S. government development and production contracts and is generally recognized using the over time, percentage of completion cost-to-cost method of accounting. We disaggregate ASC revenue by geographical region, customer relationship and contract type. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of ASC revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Revenue by Geographical Region United States $ 1,685 $ 1,537 $ 1,543 International 412 269 169 Intersegment Sales 21 25 21 Total $ 2,118 $ 1,831 $ 1,733 Revenue by Customer Relationship Prime contractor $ 925 $ 858 $ 918 Subcontractor 1,172 948 794 Intersegment Sales 21 25 21 Total $ 2,118 $ 1,831 $ 1,733 Revenue by Contract Type Firm-Fixed Price $ 1,762 $ 1,522 $ 1,494 Flexibly Priced (1) 335 284 218 Intersegment Sales 21 25 21 Total $ 2,118 $ 1,831 $ 1,733 ________________ (1) Includes revenue derived from cost-type and time-and-materials contracts. IMS : IMS revenue is primarily derived from U.S. government development and production contracts and is generally recognized using the over time, percentage of completion cost-to-cost method of accounting. We disaggregate IMS revenue by geographical region, customer relationship and contract 97 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) type. We believe these categories best depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of IMS revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors. Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Revenue by Geographical Region United States $ 1,117 $ 1,006 $ 956 International 20 14 25 Intersegment Sales 1 1 2 Total $ 1,138 $ 1,021 $ 983 Revenue by Customer Relationship Prime contractor $ 259 $ 252 $ 186 Subcontractor 878 768 795 Intersegment Sales 1 1 2 Total $ 1,138 $ 1,021 $ 983 Revenue by Contract Type Firm-Fixed Price $ 948 $ 851 $ 853 Flexibly Priced (1) 189 169 128 Intersegment Sales 1 1 2 Total $ 1,138 $ 1,021 $ 983 ________________ (1) Includes revenue derived from cost-type and time-and-materials contracts. Note 4. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable consist of the following: December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Accounts receivable $ 254 $ 152 Less allowance for credit losses ( 1 ) ( 1 ) Accounts receivable, net $ 253 $ 151 The Company maintains certain agreements with financial institutions to sell certain trade receivables. See Note 5: Sale of Receivables for additional information. Note 5. Sale of Receivables The Company is party to factoring facilities with various financial institutions (the “purchasers”) with an aggregate capacity of $ 225 million. The receivables sold under the factoring facilities are without recourse for any customer credit risk and result in a true sale. Receivables are derecognized in their entirety when sold, and the Company’s continuing involvement is limited to their servicing, for which the Company receives a fee commensurate with the service provided and therefore no servicing asset or liability related to these receivables was recognized for any period presented. The fair value of the sold receivables approximated their book value due to their short-term nature. Proceeds from the sold receivables are primarily reflected in operating cash flows on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 98 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred purchase discount fees of $ 2 million, $ 5 million, and $ 4 million, respectively, which are presented in general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The table below summarizes the activity under the factoring facilities: December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 Beginning balance $ 192 $ 243 Sales of receivables 190 303 Cash returned to purchasers ( 252 ) ( 354 ) Outstanding balance sold to purchasers 130 192 Cash collected, not remitted to purchasers (1) — ( 35 ) Remaining sold receivables $ 130 $ 157 ________________ (1) Represents cash collected on behalf of purchasers and not yet remitted.

Land, buildings and improvements include assets under finance leases in the amount of $ 97 million and $ 98 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 11: Leases for additional information. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company accounted for our manufacturing facility in Menomonee Falls, WI as a financing arrangement and is included in land, building, and improvements in the above table. See Note 13: Debt for additional information. 99 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Note 8.

Goodwill Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by reportable segment are as follows: (Dollars in millions) ASC IMS Total Balance at January 1, 2023 (1) $ 817 $ 419 $ 1,236 Purchase price adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2023 2 — 2 Balance at December 31, 2023 819 419 1,238 Balance at December 31, 2024 819 419 1,238 ________________ (1) Goodwill is reported net of $ 2,362 million and $ 606 million of accumulated impairments as of January 1, 2023 for the ASC and IMS segments, respectively. Note 10. Intangible Assets Intangible assets mainly refer to the fair value of existing customer contractual relationships attributable to the acquired business and patents which are being amortized over their respective lives. The fair value of intangible assets typically is determined, as of the date of acquisition, based on estimates and judgments regarding expectations for the estimated future after-tax earnings and cash flows (including cash flows for working capital) arising from backlog and follow-on sales to the customer over their estimated lives, including the probability of expected future contract renewals and sales, less a contributory assets charge, all of which is discounted to present value. 100 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) All intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives, as indicated below, with no estimated residual values. Intangible assets consists of the following: December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 (Dollars in millions) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Acquired intangible assets $ 1,087 $ ( 962 ) $ 125 $ 1,087 $ ( 940 ) $ 147 Patents and licenses 14 ( 7 ) 7 10 ( 6 ) 4 Total intangible assets $ 1,101 $ ( 969 ) $ 132 $ 1,097 $ ( 946 ) $ 151 Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $ 22 million, $ 22 million, and $ 10 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Acquired intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 15 years. The net acquired intangible asset balances consists primarily of technology related intangibles of $ 88 million and customer related assets of $ 37 million as of December 31, 2024. Patents and licenses are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 10 years. The estimated annual amortization expense related to intangible assets for the subsequent five years is as follows: (Dollars in millions) Year Ending December 31, Estimated Annual Amortization 2025 $ 22 2026 22 2027 19 2028 14 2029 14 Note 11. Leases The Company leases various real estate for manufacturing facilities, administrative offices, warehouses and machinery under both finance leases and operating leases. In addition, the Company leases vehicles and office equipment under operating leases. We determine whether our contracts are or contain a lease at the inception of such arrangements. A contract is or contains a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the lease commencement based on the present value of the future lease payments over the lease term. As our leases do not generally explicitly state the discount rate implicit in the lease, we use our incremental borrowing rate, which is determined based on the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term as of the lease commencement date. In addition to the present value of the future lease payments, the calculation of the ROU asset also includes lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, less any lease incentives received. The remaining lease cost is amortized over the remaining life of the lease on a straight-line basis. We evaluate ROU assets for impairment consistent with the treatment of other long-lived assets. Some of our leases include options to extend the lease terms or to terminate the lease early. We include the impact of the option in the determination of the ROU assets and liabilities when it is 101 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Our U.S. and Canadian lease payments are largely fixed, but may include variable payments that do not depend on an index or rate, such as usage-based amounts, and are recorded as a lease expense in the period incurred. The lease payments in Israel are tied to the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) as published by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics. These leases are paid in Israeli New Shekels (“ISL”) but are recorded in U.S. dollars on the general ledger. These leases are recalculated each quarter to recognize the changes in both the CPI and the ISL. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has not entered into any significant leases that have not yet commenced. We elected not to recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for leases with an initial term of twelve months or less. These leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components and to instead account for them as a single component. We have elected this practical expedient for all classes of assets. Lease Cost The Company’s total lease cost consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Operating lease cost (1) $ 24 $ 26 $ 25 Finance lease cost (2) : Amortization of right-of-use assets 12 10 10 Interest on lease liabilities 6 5 5 Total lease cost $ 42 $ 41 $ 40 ________________ (1) Operating lease expense is included within cost of revenues or general and administrative expenses, dependent upon the nature and use of the ROU asset, in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Operating lease cost includes short-term leases of approximately $ 2 million, $ 3 million, and $ 2 million and an insignificant amount of variable lease cost for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. (2) Finance lease expense is recorded as depreciation and amortization expense within cost of revenues or general and administrative expenses, dependent upon the nature and use of the ROU asset, and interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. 102 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

The annual utilization of our federal NOL is limited to approximately $ 3 million pursuant to Section 382 of the Tax Code. Our foreign net operating losses have expirations ranging from 2041 to indefinite. In 2024, we recorded an additional valuation allowance in Canada of $ 2 million. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had apportioned state net operating loss carryforwards of $ 105 million and $ 145 million, respectively, which are associated with jurisdictions in which we currently file and the Company expects to utilize prior to expiration except for those for which we have recorded a valuation allowance. Our state net operating losses have expirations ranging from 2024 to 2041 and are offset by a valuation allowance of $ 2 million. On August 16, 2022, the U.S. government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”) which, among other items, allows a company to purchase transferable tax credits. During 2024, the Company purchased $ 25 million in tax credits for approximately $ 23 million in cash. These credits were used to offset the Company’s federal tax liability for 2023. Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds was $ 71 million, $ 45 million, and $ 89 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 106 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Tax Uncertainties The Company maintains reserves for uncertain tax positions related to unrecognized income tax benefits. These reserves involve considerable judgment and estimation and are evaluated by management at least quarterly based on the best information available. The Company’s total liability for unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 48 million, $ 40 million and $ 24 million, respectively; all of which will impact the effective tax rate when recognized. Approximately $ 2 million, $ 2 million and $ 2 million as of December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, was recorded within (and as an offset to) deferred tax assets. In addition, the Company does not believe there are any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the unrecognized tax benefits will vary significantly over the next twelve months. The table below summarizes the activity associated with our unrecognized tax benefits: (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Balance at January 1, $ 40 $ 24 $ 22 Increase related to prior year tax positions 2 11 1 Increase related to current year tax positions 6 6 2 Decreases related to prior year tax positions — ( 1 ) — Lapse of statute of limitations — — ( 1 ) Balance at December 31, $ 48 $ 40 $ 24 The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of multiple state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for years through the tax year ended December 31, 2018 except as it relates to the net operating loss carryforward and tax credit carryforwards. Substantially all material state and local matters have been concluded for years through the tax year ended December 31, 2017. The Company has substantially concluded all material tax matters in foreign jurisdictions for years through the tax years ending 2017. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has accumulated undistributed earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries and most have been taxed in the U.S. as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”). The TCJA allows for a dividend received deduction for repatriation of foreign earnings. We intend to indefinitely reinvest these earnings. Should the Company’s undistributed earnings from its investment in non‐U.S. subsidiaries be distributed in the future in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company may be subject to foreign and domestic income taxes and withholding taxes. 107 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for a term loan (“2022 Term Loan A”) of $ 225 million bearing interest at a variable rate generally based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a spread ranging from 1.48 % to 2.10 % depending on the leverage ratio, as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, or an alternative variable rate based on the higher of the Bank of America prime rate, the federal funds rate, or a rate generally based on the SOFR, in each case subject to an additional basis point spread as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. The outstanding balance of the 2022 Term Loan A at December 31, 2024 was $ 203 million. The fair value of the 2022 Term Loan A at December 31, 2024 was approximately $ 199 million, however the Company has the ability to prepay the outstanding principal balance without penalty. In January 2009, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Finmeccanica S.p.A. (presently Leonardo S.p.A. and indirect majority stockholder) in the amount of $ 2 billion (the “2009 Credit Agreement”). The 2009 Credit Agreement was subsequently assigned to US Holding and had a maturity of November 30, 2023. The 2009 Credit Agreement provided for a term loan that bore interest at a rate of 7.5 %, with interest payments due semi-annually on June 20 and December 20 in each year. In November 2022, the Company repaid the aggregate principal amount of $ 139 million. Upon repayment the 2009 Credit Agreement was terminated. In June 2017, the Company entered into an unsecured term loan with US Holding in the principal amount of $ 138 million, the proceeds of which were used to finance the acquisition of Daylight Solutions, Inc. (the “Daylight Term Loan”). The Daylight Term Loan had a maturity of October 15, 2024 and had an interest rate of 5.0 %, with interest payments due semi-annually on April 15 and October 15. During 2022, the Company repaid the aggregate principal amount of $ 78 million. Upon repayment the Daylight Term Loan was terminated. Credit Facilities The 2022 Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility available for the working capital needs of the Company (the “2022 Revolving Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2024 the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility had a limit of $ 275 million. Loans under the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate generally based on the SOFR, plus a spread ranging from 1.48 % to 2.10 % depending on the leverage ratio, as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, or an alternative variable rate based on the higher of the Bank of America prime rate, the federal funds rate, or a rate generally based 108 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) on the SOFR, in each case subject to an additional basis point spread as defined in the 2022 Credit Agreement, The Company also pays a commitment fee ranging between 0.20 % and 0.35 % depending on the Company’s leverage ratio applied to the unused balance of the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility. There was no outstanding balance on the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. The weighted average interest rate on the 2022 Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 6.72 % and 6.41 %, respectively. The 2009 Credit Agreement provided for a revolving credit facility available for the working capital needs of the Company (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). As of December 31, 2021, the Revolving Credit Facility had a credit limit of $ 450 million, and an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.5 %. There was a commitment fee of 0.25 % applied to the unused balance of the Revolving Credit Facility and there were no compensating balance requirements. There was no balance on the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. The 2009 Credit Agreement was terminated in November 2022. The Company also maintains uncommitted working capital credit facilities with certain financial institutions in the aggregate of $ 130 million and $ 65 million at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively (the “Financial Institution Credit Facilities”). The Financial Institution Credit Facilities were guaranteed by Leonardo S.p.A, through approximately January 2023. As of December 31, 2024, none of the Financial Institution Credit facilities are guaranteed by Leonardo S.p.A. The sole purpose of the Financial Institution Credit Facilities is to support standby letter of credit issuances on contracts with customers. The Company had letters of credit outstanding of approximately $ 36 million and $ 41 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which reduces the available capacity of the Financial Institution Credit Facilities by an equal amount. Finance Lease and Other As of December 31, 2024, finance lease and other of $ 159 million includes approximately $ 113 million related to finance lease liabilities and $ 46 million related to our Menomonee Falls, WI manufacturing facility, which has been accounted for as a financing arrangement. Approximately $ 10 million has been recognized as the current portion of long-term debt for the finance lease liabilities and aforementioned financing arrangement. Short-term Borrowings As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $ 4 million and $ 35 million, respectively, related to our factoring facilities as short-term borrowings and current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 5: Sale of Receivables for more information. Interest Paid Total interest paid associated with our debt was $ 27 million, $ 38 million, and $ 34 million in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our effective interest rate was approximately 6.80 %, 6.65 % and 5.57 % for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The interest expense attributable to the amortization of debt issuance costs in 2024, 2023 and 2022 was not material. 109 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Retirement Plan Summary Information The Company maintains multiple pension plans, both contributory and non-contributory, covering employees at certain locations. Eligibility requirements for participation in the plans vary and benefits generally are based on the participant's compensation and years of service, as defined in the respective plan. The Company's funding policy generally is to contribute in accordance with cost accounting standards that affect government contractors, subject to the Tax Code and regulations thereunder. With respect to U.S. qualified pension plans, we intend to contribute annually not less than the required minimum funding thresholds. For all periods presented, the Company made no discretionary pension contributions. Plan assets are invested primarily in equities, bonds (both corporate and U.S. government), U.S. government-sponsored entity instruments, cash and cash equivalents and real estate. The Company also provides postretirement medical benefits for certain retired employees and dependents at certain locations. Participants are eligible for these benefits when they retire from active service and meet the eligibility requirements for the Company's postretirement benefit plans. The Company's contractual arrangements with the U.S. government provide for the recovery of contributions to a Voluntary Employees' Beneficiary Association trust and, for non-funded plans, recovery of claims on a pay-as-you-go basis, subject to the Tax Code and regulations thereunder, with the retiree generally paying a portion of the costs through contributions, deductibles and coinsurance provisions. The Company also maintains certain non-contributory and unfunded supplemental retirement plans. Eligibility for participation in the supplemental retirement plans is limited, and benefits generally are based on the participant's compensation and/or years of service. In April 2024, the Company purchased group annuity contracts to transfer approximately $ 24 million of gross defined benefit pension plan obligations and related plan assets for certain of its qualified defined benefit pension plans to an insurance company for approximately 700 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries. In June 2024, the Company made lump sum distributions from plan assets for terminated vested participants in certain of its defined pension benefit plans in the amount of approximately $ 8 million. Settlement charges related to these activities were immaterial. 110 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

The assumption has been determined based on expectations regarding future rates of return for the plans' investment portfolio, with consideration given to the allocation of investments by asset class and historical rates of return for each individual asset class. Pension related expenses are reflected in cost of revenues and general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. A one percentage increase or decrease in healthcare trend rates in the table above would have an insignificant impact to our service and interest cost and the postretirement medical obligations. Plan Assets The Retirement Committee has been authorized by the Company’s management to manage the strategic oversight of our defined benefit plan assets held in trust. The Retirement Committee has adopted an investment policy and provides oversight of a third-party investment manager who reports to the Retirement Committee on a regular basis. The outsourced third-party manager develops investment strategies and makes all of the day to day investment decisions related to the defined benefit plan assets in accordance with the investment policy and target asset allocation targets, therein. Presently all of the plans are governed by a single investment policy and are uniformly invested. As part of the policy statement the Company has implemented a glide path which adjusts the percentage of assets invested in 113 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) return seeking assets based upon the attainment of specific funding percentages. The non-return seeking assets are invested primarily in bonds with maturities closely matching the anticipated payment of benefits. As the funding percentage increases the glide path reduces the amount of the assets invested in return seeking assets. The table below represents all of the Company's funded pension plans' and postretirement benefit plans' weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2024 and 2023 by asset category: Asset Allocation 2024 2023 Asset Category Equity securities 18 % 33 % Debt securities 72 % 55 % Real estate — % 4 % Other, primarily cash and cash equivalents, and hedge funds 10 % 8 % The table below presents the target allocation ranges for each major asset category for the Company's benefit plans for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023: Target Asset Allocation Range 2024 2023 Asset Category Equity securities 11 % - 19 % 28 % - 36 % Debt securities 75 % - 91 % 54 % - 70 % Real estate 0 % - 0 % 0 % - 8 % Other, primarily cash and cash equivalents and hedge funds 0 % - 4 % 0 % - 10 % The following tables provides the fair value of plan assets held by our defined benefit plan by asset category and by fair value hierarchy level.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Prior year amounts for investments in collective trust funds, previously categorized as not subject to leveling in the fair value hierarchy, have been corrected to categorize these investments as Level 2. For collective trust funds not traded on a public exchange, the trustee obtains quotes from the fund manager, which are based on the net asset value of the funds, which is the price the funds stand ready to purchase and sell units of the fund. This change is not material as it did not affect the prior year financial statements nor the total plan assets previously reported. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company expects to contribute $ 6 million to its pension plans and an inconsequential amount to its postretirement plans. The following table presents expected pension and postretirement benefit payments over the next ten years: (Dollars in millions) Year Ending December 31, Defined Benefit Pension Plans Postretirement Benefit Plans Supplemental Retirement Plans 2025 $ 11 $ — $ 1 2026 10 — 1 2027 10 — 1 2028 10 — 1 2029 10 — 1 2030-2034 50 — 6 Defined Contribution Plans The Company maintains defined contribution plans covering substantially all domestic full-time eligible employees. The Company's contributions to these plans for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, amounted to $ 31 million, $ 28 million, and $ 22 million, respectively. Note 15. Share-based Compensation Plans In November 2022, the Company established the 2022 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “2022 Equity Plan”). The 2022 Equity Plan allows for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. In May 2024, the 2022 Equity Plan was amended and restated to increase the common stock available for issuance under the plan by 8,100,000 shares and to extend the terms of the plan to expire on the tenth anniversary of the amended and restated plan’s effective date. As of December 31, 2024, there were 10 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuances under the 2022 Equity Plan. Under the 2022 Equity Plan, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”), referred to as a one-time founders award. The RSUs are subject to time-based vesting over a two-year period. The PRSUs are subject to both time and performance-based vesting based on the Company’s share price metric market condition over a two-year period. In November 2022, in conjunction with the acquisition of RADA, the Company assumed 5.4 million stock options. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, the outstanding stock options were exchanged into options to purchase the Company’s common stock. The assumed stock options are subject to the same terms and conditions as the original awards, including time-based vesting. The options are generally exercisable for 48 months following the date of vesting. In November 2022, in conjunction with the acquisition of RADA, the Company converted the 2022 long-term incentive (“LTI”) program from a cash-based plan to an equity plan. The conversion was treated as a liability to equity modification. Following the modification, equity awards were granted in the form of RSUs and PRSUs. The RSUs are subject to annual time-based vesting over a three-year period. The PRSUs are subject to both time and performance-based vesting based upon the achievement of three 115 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) financial metrics over a three-year period: Relative Total Shareholder Return (“rTSR”), Revenue Growth, and Return on Invested Capital (“ROIC”). During 2023, the Company granted equity awards in the form of RSUs and PRSUs under the LTI program. The RSUs are subject to annual time-based vesting over a three-year period. The PRSUs are subject to both time and performance-based vesting based upon the achievement of three financial metrics over a three-year period: rTSR, Revenue Growth, and ROIC. During 2024, the Company granted equity awards in the form of RSUs and PRSUs under the LTI program. The RSUs are subject to annual time-based vesting over a three-year period. The PRSUs are subject to both time and performance-based vesting based upon the achievement of three financial metrics over a three-year period: rTSR, Adjusted Diluted EPS, and ROIC. The fair value of stock options is measured on the date of the acquisition of RADA using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of market condition PRSUs is measured on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo Simulation Model. Expense for time-based awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur. In May 2024, the Company established the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at 90 % of the fair market value on the date of purchase. As of December 31, 2024, there were 2 million shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for future issuances under the ESPP. Share-based compensation, which was recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings within general and administrative expenses, and the related tax benefits recognized for the periods presented consists of the following: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Total share-based compensation expense $ 22 $ 17 $ 5 Tax benefits recognized from share-based compensation 6 2 1 Stock Options The assumptions used in valuing stock options during the periods presented are set forth in the following table: Year Ended December 31, 2022 Expected term (1) 0.04 – 5.18 years Expected volatility (2) 45.0 % Risk-free interest rate (3) 3.8 – 4.7 % Expected dividend yield (4) — % (1) The expected term is based upon historical experience and represents the period of time between when the options are granted and when they are expected to be exercised. (2) The computation of expected volatility is based on a blend of historical RADA volatility and leverage-adjusted historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded peers. (3) The risk-free interest rate is based on the bootstrap adjusted U.S. Treasury Rate Yield Curve Rate as of the valuation date, term matched with expected life of the awards. (4) The expected dividend yield is based on the Company’s historical experience and expectation of future dividend payouts and may be subject to changes in the future. The weighted average valuation date fair values for options assumed during the year ended December 31, 2022 was $ 4.58 . There were no stock options granted or assumed during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. 116 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

Note 17. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company’s commitments are primarily related to our lease agreements, purchase obligations, and credit agreements. See Note 11 : Leases and Note 13 : Debt for additional information on our leases and credit agreements. 118 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Contingencies From time to time, we are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. These matters are subject to many uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters ultimately could be decided, resolved or settled in a manner adverse to us. Although the precise amount of liability that may result from these matters is not ascertainable, the Company believes that any amounts exceeding the Company's recorded accruals should not materially adversely affect the Company's financial condition or liquidity. It is possible, however, that the ultimate resolution of those matters could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and/or cash flows from operating activities for a particular reporting period. We establish reserves for specific legal matters when we determine that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable, and the loss is reasonably estimable. The Company reviews the developments in contingencies that could affect the amount of the reserves that have been previously recorded. The Company adjusts provisions and changes to disclosures accordingly to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and updated information. Significant judgment is required to determine both the probability and the estimated amount of any potential losses. As a government contractor, with customers including the U.S. government as well as various state and local government entities, the Company may be subject to audits, investigations and claims with respect to its contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations and procurement practices. Additionally, amounts billed under such contracts, including direct and indirect costs, are subject to potential adjustments before final settlement. Management believes that adequate provisions for such potential audits, investigations, claims and contract adjustments, if any, have been made in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Restructuring costs We engage in targeted restructuring initiatives in order to rationalize headcount and align our operations in a more strategic and cost-efficient structure. In connection with these restructuring initiatives, we recorded charges totaling $ 8 million, $ 11 million and $ 3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These restructuring initiatives were within our ASC segment and were substantially completed as of December 31, 2024. Costs incurred were related to employee termination and severance costs, as well as costs related to discontinuing product lines or closing down of locations. Charges were recorded within other operating (expenses) income, net, on the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. See the table below for a breakout of restructuring costs by nature of cost incurred: Year Ended December 31, (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Severance $ 6 $ 9 $ 2 Facility abandonment 2 2 1 Total $ 8 $ 11 $ 3 119 LEONARDO DRS, INC.

Product warranty expense is recognized based on the term of the product warranty, generally one year to three years , and the related estimated costs, considering historical claims expense. Accrued warranty costs are reduced as these costs are incurred and as the warranty period expires, and otherwise may be modified as specific product performance issues are identified and resolved. The following is a summary of changes in the product warranty balances during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024: (Dollars in millions) Balance at January 1, 2023 $ 18 Additional provision 20 Reversal and utilization ( 12 ) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 26 Additional provision 16 Reversal and utilization ( 13 ) Balance at December 31, 2024 $ 29 Note 18. Related Party Transactions Although we operate largely independently from Leonardo S.p.A. and the proxy agreement contains limitations on services that we may provide to and receive from Leonardo S.p.A. and its affiliates, we have historically provided, and expect to continue to provide, certain services to Leonardo S.p.A. and its affiliates to support its U.S. operations (aside from us). These services include financial, tax, trade compliance, marketing and communications and legal. The Company also has related party sales and purchases with the indirect majority stockholder and its other affiliates that occur in the regular course of business. Related party sales are included in revenues and were $ 30 million, $ 40 million and $ 59 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Related party purchases are included in cost of revenues and were $ 7 million, $ 4 million and $ 3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The receivables with the indirect majority stockholder and its other affiliates of $ 19 million and $ 8 million, respectively, and payables of $ 4 million and $ 4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, are included in accounts receivable, net and accounts payable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, there was a related party balance in contract assets of $ 12 million at December 31, 2024. The Company entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement with US Holding, dated as of November 16, 2020. See Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for more information. 120 LEONARDO DRS, INC. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) Note 19. Segment Information Operating segments represent components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly reviewed by the CODM in determining how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is our CODM, and he uses a variety of measures to assess the performance of the Company as a whole, depending on the nature of the activity. Beginning in the first quarter of 2022, the Company’s operating and reportable segments were revised into two reportable segments, ASC and IMS, to align our market strategy and capital allocation decision making with our operating structure. Prior year information was revised to reflect the new segment structure. All other operations, which consists primarily of DRS Corporate Headquarters and certain non-operating subsidiaries of the Company, are grouped in Corporate & Eliminations. Effective for the fourth quarter of 2024, operating earnings is the segment profit measure the CODM primarily uses to manage the Company and allocate resources. Operating earnings is used to facilitate a comparison of the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of our operations on a consistent basis from period to period and provide an additional understanding of factors and trends affecting our business segments. Prior year information was revised to reflect operating earnings as the segment profit measure. Certain information related to our segments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, is presented in the following tables. Consistent accounting policies have been applied by all segments within the Company, within all reporting periods. A description of our reportable segments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, has been included in Note 1: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies . Intersegment sales are generally transferred at cost to the buying segment, and the sourcing segment does not recognize a profit. Such intercompany operating income is eliminated in consolidation, so that the Company’s total revenues and operating earnings reflect only those transactions with external customers. Revenues, expenses, and operating earnings by segment and the reconciliation to earnings before taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, consists of the following: (Dollars in millions) 2024 2023 2022 Revenues ASC $ 2,118 $ 1,831 $ 1,733 IMS 1,138 1,021 983 Corporate & Eliminations ( 22 ) ( 26 ) ( 23 ) Total revenues $ 3,234 $ 2,826 $ 2,693 Cost of revenues ASC $ 1,598 $ 1,370 $ 1,335 IMS 922 834 806 Corporate & Eliminations ( 22 ) ( 26 ) ( 23 ) Total cost of revenues $ 2,498 $ 2,178 $ 2,118 General and administrative ASC $ 234 $ 226 $ 194 IMS 81 79 62 Corporate & Eliminations 7 ( 3 ) 43 Total general and administrative $ 322 $ 302 $ 299 121 LEONARDO DRS, INC.
