RADA Reports over-$29 Million in New Business in Q1 of 2022

NETANYA, Israel, April 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RADA Electronic Industries Ltd. (NASDAQ: RADA, TASE: RADA) announced today the receipt of over-$29 million in new business in the first quarter of 2022. This represents over-22% year-over-year growth in new business, compared with the first quarter of last year.

Out of these bookings, more than 95% are for RADA’s software-defined tactical radars to be used in Active Protection Systems (APS), counter UAV, Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) and point defense solutions. The U.S. market accounted for 80% of the new orders and the remainder came from global markets.

Dov Sella, RADA’s CEO, commented, “2021 ended with a book-to-bill ratio of just over 1, which was below our expectations, due to the Continuing Resolution (CR) in the US. The CR, which lasted for almost six months and ended just over a month ago, was the major reason for the relatively humble bookings in the US during this period, which also impacted our 2021 revenue levels. However, since the end of the CR we have regained momentum in receiving new business in the US, which is our primary market, and expect that the delays in orders and revenue that were caused by the CR will be recorded over the remainder of 2022. In view of this positive momentum, along with renewed emphasis on the global need for our enabling radars for air defense and active protection solutions, which the current war in Ukraine is continuously demonstrating, we reiterate our revenue goal of over $140 million for 2022.”
