SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND INFORMATION

In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), when using the terms the “Company,” “DRS,” “we,” “us” and “our,” unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, we are referring to Leonardo DRS, Inc. This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements and cautionary statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Some of the forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terms such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “seeks,” “aims,” “strives,” “targets,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or other comparable terms. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, all matters that are not historical facts. They appear in a number of places throughout this Quarterly Report and include, without limitation, statements regarding our intentions, beliefs, assumptions or current expectations concerning, among other things, financial goals, financial position, results of operations, cash flows, prospects, strategies or expectations, and the impact of prevailing economic conditions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond our control. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or outcomes and that actual performance and outcomes may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report. In addition, even if future performance and outcomes are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods. New factors emerge from time to time that may cause our business not to develop as we expect, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. Factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ from those reflected in forward-looking statements include, without limitation:

•Disruptions, including from government shutdowns, or deteriorations in our relationship with the relevant agencies of the U.S. government, as well as any failure to pass routine audits or otherwise comply with governmental requirements including those related to security clearance or procurement rules, including the False Claims Act;

•Significant delays, including from government shutdowns, or reductions in appropriations for our programs and changes in U.S. government priorities and spending levels more broadly;

•Any failure to comply with the amended and restated proxy agreement with the U.S. Department of War, also known as the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoW”);

•The effect of inflation and other cost pressures on our supply chain and/or our labor costs;

•Our mix of fixed-price, cost-plus and time-and-materials type contracts and any resulting impact on our cash flows due to cost overruns;

•Failure to properly comply with various covenants of the agreements governing our debt could negatively impact our business;

•Our dependence on U.S. government contracts, which often are only partially funded and are subject to immediate termination, some of which are classified, and the concentration of our customer base in the U.S. defense industry;

•Our use of estimates in pricing and accounting for many of our programs that are inherently uncertain and which may not prove to be accurate;

•Our ability to realize the full value of our backlog;

•Our ability to predict future capital needs or to obtain additional financing if needed, on terms acceptable to us, if at all;

•Our ability to respond to the rapid technological changes in the markets in which we compete;

•The effect of global and regional economic downturns and rising interest rates;

•Our ability to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting;

•Our inability to appropriately manage our inventory;

•Our inability to fully realize the value of our total estimated contract value or bookings;

•Our ability to compete efficiently, including due to U.S. government organizational conflict of interest rules which may limit new contract opportunities or require us to wind down existing contracts;

•Our relationships with other industry participants, including any contractual disputes or the inability of our key suppliers to timely deliver our components, parts or services;

•Preferences for set-asides for small or small disadvantaged businesses could impact our ability to be a prime contractor;

•Any failure to meet our contractual obligations including due to potential impacts to our business from supply chain risks, such as longer lead times and shortages of electronics and other components;

•Any security breach, including any cyber-attack, cyber intrusion, insider threat, or other significant disruption of our IT networks and related systems, as well as any act of terrorism or other threat to our physical security and personnel;

•Our ability to fully exploit or obtain patents or other intellectual property protections necessary to secure our proprietary technology, including our ability to avoid infringing upon the intellectual property of third parties or prevent third parties from infringing upon our own intellectual property;

•The conduct of our employees, agents, affiliates, subcontractors, suppliers, business partners or joint ventures in which we participate which may impact our reputation and ability to do business;

•The outcome of litigation, arbitration, investigations, claims, disputes, enforcement actions and other legal proceedings in which we are involved;

•Various geopolitical and economic factors, laws and regulations including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Export Control Act, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the Export Administration Regulations, recent U.S. tariffs imposed or threatened to be imposed on other countries and any related retaliatory actions taken by such countries and those that we are exposed to as a result of our international business;

•Our ability to obtain export licenses necessary to conduct certain operations abroad, including any attempts by Congress to prevent proposed sales to certain foreign governments;

•Our ability to attract and retain technical and other key personnel;

•The occurrence of prolonged work stoppages;

•The unavailability or inadequacy of our insurance coverage, customer indemnifications or other liability protections to cover all of our significant risks or to pay for material losses we incur;

•Future changes in U.S. tax laws and regulations or interpretations thereof;

•Future changes in the DoW’s and other governments’ budgets;

•Certain limitations on our ability to use our net operating losses to offset future taxable income;

iii

•Termination of our leases or our inability to renew our leases on acceptable terms;

•Changes in estimates used in accounting for our pension plans, including with respect to the funding status thereof;

•Changes in future business or other market conditions that could cause business investments and/or recorded goodwill or other long-term assets to become impaired;

•The proposed acquisition of Raft LLC, including the failure to complete the transaction on the anticipated timeline or at all, the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the transaction, including expected accretion and tax benefits, integration difficulties, retention of key personnel, transaction and integration costs, and increased indebtedness incurred to fund the transaction;

•Adverse consequences from any acquisitions such as operating difficulties, dilution and other harmful consequences or any modification, delay or prevention of any future acquisition or investment activity by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States;

•Natural disasters, severe weather or other significant disruptions;

•Failure to properly contain a global pandemic in a timely manner could materially affect how we and our business partners operate;

•Our compliance with environmental laws and regulations, and any environmental liabilities that may affect our reputation or financial position;

•Any conflict of interest that may arise because Leonardo US Holding, LLC, our majority stockholder, or Leonardo S.p.A., our indirect majority stockholder, may have interests that are different from, or conflict with, those of our other stockholders, including as a result of any ongoing business relationships Leonardo S.p.A. may have with us, and their significant ownership in us may discourage change of control transactions (our third amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we waive any interest or expectancy in corporate opportunities presented to Leonardo S.p.A); or

•Our obligations to provide certain services to Leonardo S.p.A., which may divert human and financial resources from our business.

You should read this Quarterly Report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from expectations. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report are qualified by these cautionary statements. These forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this filing, and we do not undertake any obligation, other than as may be required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking or cautionary statements to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of events, unanticipated or otherwise, and changes in future operating results over time or otherwise.

Other risks, uncertainties and factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. Readers should read the discussion of these factors carefully to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements.
