96
97 General Dynamics is a global aerospace and defense company that offers a broad portfolio of products and services in business aviation; ship construction and repair; land combat vehicles, weapons systems and munitions; and technology products and services. General Dynamics employs more than 100,000 people worldwide and generated $39.4 billion in revenue in 2022.{{footnote}}https://s22.q4cdn.com/891946778/files/doc_financials/2022/ar/gd-2022-annual-report.pdf{{/footnote}}
98
99
100 Approximately 70% of its revenue from the U.S. government, government spending levels — particularly defense spending — influence its financial performance.
101
102
103 The long-term outlook for its U.S. defense business is influenced by the U.S. military’s funding priorities, the diversity of its programs and customers, its insight into customer requirements stemming from its incumbency on core programs, its ability to evolve its products to address a fast-changing threat environment and its proven track record of successful contract execution.
104
105 International demand for military equipment and technologies presents opportunities for its non-U.S. operations and exports from its North American businesses. While the revenue potential can be significant, there are risks to doing business in foreign countries, including changing budget priorities and overall spending pressures unique to each country.
