Thales's Board of Directors (Euronext Paris: HO) met on July 20, 2023 to review the financial statements for the first half of 2023.[1]
Patrice Caine, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, stated:
The first half of 2023 confirms Thales strong sales momentum in its various markets. With a 7% increase in the order book compared to June 30, 2022, the Group further reinforced its ability to deliver sustainable growth over the coming years.
Organic sales growth was above 7%, ahead of the full-year target, driven by the on-going recovery in the civil aeronautics business and the strong performance of the Digital Identity & Security operating segment.
The Groups EBIT margin continued to rise, reaching a new record at 11.4%.
Given the solid outlook for most of our businesses in the second half of the year, we have decided to raise our full-year sales growth guidance.
All of Thaless teams are committed to taking the action needed to support sustainable growth. This includes recruiting the talent of tomorrow, supporting our supply chain and investing in our R&D and production capabilities.
Lastly, Thales further strengthens its leadership positions in its markets with two acquisitions: Tesserent in cybersecurity and Cobham Aerospace Communications in cockpit connectivity.
Order intake: 8.6 billion, down 24% (-23% on an organic basis[2])
Sales: 8.7 billion, up 5.6% ( 7.7% on an organic basis)
EBIT[3]: 993 million, up 11.4% ( 13.1% on an organic basis)
Adjusted net income, Group share[3]: 819 million, up 13%
Consolidated net income, Group share: 649 million, up 15%
Free operating cash flow[3]: 99 million
Full year 2023 guidance upgraded:
Book-to-bill ratio[4] above 1
Organic sales growth between 5% and 7%[5]
EBIT margin target (unchanged): 11.5% to 11.8%
