Thales's Board of Directors (Euronext Paris: HO) met on March 7, 2023 to review the 2022 financial statements.1
Thanks to the commitment of all its employees, Thales has achieved high quality results in 2022. Commercial momentum was strong in all business lines. With 29 contracts with a unit value of over 100 million, the order intake reached a record level of over 23 billion.
Despite a complex operating environment, sales growth was at the upper end of the range announced in July 2022, and the EBIT margin surpassed pre-Covid-19 levels.
Cash generation was once again well above 2 billion and the Group is expected to generate nearly 6.5 billion in free operating cash flow over the 2021-2023 period.
We continued to optimize our business portfolio with four acquisitions and two disposals. We are ahead of schedule on our ESG action plan to build a safer, more environmentally friendly and more inclusive world.
To support our growth we are significantly ramping up our recruitment and capex plans. After hiring 11,500 people in 2022, we will recruit more than 12,000 employees in 2023. Our 2023 capex will be 20% above 2022, and 46% above 2021.
With its technologies, its capacity for innovation and the commitment of all its teams, Thales demonstrated once again the relevance of its business model, both resilient and consistently creating value for its stakeholders. Patrice Caine, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
