Revenues at $620.3 million; Net income at $27.9 million;
Diluted net earnings per share of $0.65

Haifa, Israel, May 16, 2011 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (the “Company”) (NASDAQ: ESLT, TASE: ESLT), the international defense company, reported today its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

In this release, the Company is providing its usual US-GAAP ("GAAP") results as well as additional non-GAAP financial data, which are intended to provide investors a more comprehensive understanding of the Company's business results and trends. Unless otherwise stated, all financial data presented is GAAP financial data.

First quarter 2011 results:

Revenues were $620.3 million in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $618.2 million in the first quarter of 2010. The leading contributor to the Company's revenues was the airborne systems area of operations.

Gross profit was $185.6 million (29.9% of revenues) for the first quarter of 2011, as compared with gross profit of $184.5 million (29.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2010.

Research and development expenses, net were $54.2 million (8.7% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $52.7 million (8.5% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2010.

Marketing and selling expenses were $55.0 million (8.9% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $54.6 million (8.8% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses were $35.5 million (5.7% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $28.1 million (4.5% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2010. The increase was mainly a result of consolidation of expenses from recently acquired subsidiaries.

Financial expenses, net were $10.7 million in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $3.1 million in the first quarter of 2010. Financial expenses were comparatively higher in the first quarter of 2011 due to currency hedging related expenses as well as due to higher expenses related to the Series A Notes that the Company issued during the second quarter of 2010.

Taxes on income were $5.3 million (effective tax rate of 17.4%) in the first quarter of 2011, compared to taxes on income of $10.3 million (effective tax rate of 17.5%) in the first quarter of 2010.

Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and partnership was $3.8 million (0.6% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $3.9 million (0.6% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2010.

Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders' was $27.9 million (4.5% of revenues) in the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $49.8 million (8.1% of revenues in the first quarter of 2010. Net income in the first quarter of 2010 included $9.6 million in income from the sale of Mediguide shares.

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders were $0.65 for the first quarter of 2011, as compared with $1.15 for the first quarter of 2010.

The Company’s backlog of orders increased to $5,603 million as of March 31, 2011, as compared with $5,446 million as of December 31, 2010 and $5,247 million as of March 31, 2010. Approximately 77% of the backlog relates to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 68% of the Company’s backlog as of March 31, 2011, is scheduled to be performed during the upcoming three quarters of 2011 and during 2012.

Operating cash flow was $40.1 million during the first quarter of 2011, as compared to $64.0 million in the first quarter of 2010. The reduction in the operating cash flow was a result of reduced net profit and increased inventories.

Non-GAAP financial data:

The following non-GAAP financial data is presented to enable investors to have additional information on the Company's business performance as well as a further basis for periodical comparisons and trends relating to the Company's financial results. The Company believes such data provides useful information to investors by facilitating more meaningful comparisons of the Company's financial results over time. Such non-GAAP information is used by our management to make strategic decisions, forecast future results and evaluate the Company's current performance. However, investors are cautioned that, unlike financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, non-GAAP measures may not be comparable with the calculation of similar measures for other companies.

The non-GAAP financial data below includes reconciliation adjustments regarding non-GAAP gross profit, operating income, net income and diluted EPS. In arriving at non-GAAP presentations, companies generally factor out items such as those that have a non-recurring impact on the income statements, various non-cash items, significant effects of retroactive tax legislation and changes in accounting guidance and other items which, in management's judgment, are items that are considered to be outside of the review of core operating results.  In the Company's non-GAAP presentation below, the Company made the following adjustments: (1) amortization of purchased intangible assets, (2) significant reorganization, restructuring and other related expenses, (3) impairment of investments, including impairment of auction rate securities, (4) gain from changes in holdings, including revaluation of the previously held shares at the acquisition date when a business combination is achieved in stages (step-up) and (5) the income tax effects of the foregoing.

These non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. The Company believes that non-GAAP measures have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with the Company's results of operations, as determined in accordance with GAAP, and that these measures should only be used to evaluate the Company's results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.  Investors should consider non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as replacements for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
