ELBIT SYSTEMS REPORTS
THIRD QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

Backlog of orders increased to $5.7 billion;
Revenues at $664 million; Net income at $36.5 million;
Diluted net EPS at $0.85

Haifa, Israel, November 16, 2011 – Elbit Systems Ltd. (the "Company") (NASDAQ and TASE: ESLT), the international defense electronics company, today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2011.

In this release, the Company is providing its 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.

Management Comment:

Joseph Ackerman, President and CEO of Elbit Systems, commented: "The quarter's results represent continued year over year growth in backlog, as well as improvements in margins. These results are due, among other factors, to our success in harvesting the synergies from recent acquisitions and we expect to continue to take advantage of opportunities in cost rationalization, savings and avoidance of duplicating effects among our subsidiaries. Our geographical spread and our diversified activities enable us to adjust ourselves to changing trends in the global markets, and we are successfully growing in regions with expanding potential like South America and Asia-Pacific. During the quarter we reported a number of important orders, and our backlog continued its growth trend for the sixth consecutive quarter.”

Third quarter 2011 results:

Revenues in the third quarter of 2011 were $663.7 million, as compared to $649.9 million in the third quarter of 2010. The leading contributors to the Company's revenues were the C4ISR Systems and Airborne areas of operations.

Gross profit amounted to $204.1 million (30.8% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $197.9 million (30.5% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010. The improved gross profit rate was mainly a result of a mix of programs sold during the third quarter of 2011. The non-GAAP gross profit in the third quarter of 2011 was $211.6 million, (31.9% of revenues), compared to $203.5 million (31.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Research and development expenses, net were $55.5 million (8.4% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $56.1 million (8.6% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Marketing and selling expenses were $58.4 million (8.8% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $59.1 million (9.1% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses were $34.0 million (5.1% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $30.2 million (4.7% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Operating income was $56.2 million (8.5% of revenues), as compared to $52.4 million (8.1% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010. The non-GAAP operating income in the third quarter of 2011 was $70.3 million (10.6% of revenues), as compared to $63.3 million (9.7% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Financial expenses, net were $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to financial expenses, net, of $5.5 million in the third quarter of 2010. Financial expenses, net, were comparatively lower in the third quarter of 2011 due to income from currency hedging activities.

Taxes on income were $9.8 million (effective tax rate of 18.2%) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to taxes on income of $4.8 million (effective tax rate of 10.1%) in the third quarter of 2010. The change in the effective tax rate was attributable mainly to the mix of the tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company's entities generate taxable income.

Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and partnerships was $4.2 million (0.6% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to $3.9 million (0.6% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Loss from discontinued operations, net in the third quarter of 2011 amounted to $15.2 million. The amount reflects a net loss related to an impairment of held-for-sale investments acquired during 2010, as part of the acquisition of the Mikal group of companies.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was net income of $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, as compared to a net expense of $1.1 million in the third quarter of 2010. The net income attributable to the non-controlling interests includes a loss of $6.2 million, as a result of the non-controlling part of the loss from discontinued operations, as mentioned above.

Net income attributable to the Company's ordinary shareholders in the third quarter of 2011 amounted to $36.5 million (5.5% of revenues), as compared to $45.3 million (7.0% of revenues) for the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the loss related to impairment of assets held-for-sale, the net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $45.5 million (6.9% of revenues). The non-GAAP net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $56.4 million (8.5% of revenues), as compared to $54.1 million (8.3% of revenues) in the third quarter of 2010.

Diluted net earnings per share attributable to the Company’s ordinary shareholders were $0.85 for the third quarter of 2011, as compared with $1.05 for the third quarter of 2010.  Excluding the loss related to impairment of assets held-for-sale, the diluted net earnings per share in the third quarter of 2011 was $1.06. The non-GAAP diluted net earnings per share in the third quarter of 2011 was $1.31, as compared to $1.25 in the third quarter of 2010.

The Company’s backlog of orders increased to $5,691 million as of September 30, 2011, as compared with $5,446 million as of December 31, 2010 and $5,381 million as of September 30, 2010. Approximately 75% of the backlog relates to orders outside of Israel. Approximately 52% of the Company's backlog as of September 30, 2011, is scheduled to be performed during the last quarter of 2011 and in 2012.

Operating cash flow was $11.2 million in the first nine months of 2011, as compared to $73.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. The reduction in operating cash flow was mainly a result of an increased inventory balance .

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 the Company's 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 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, 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.
