Saint-Cloud, March 5, 2025 - At yesterday's meeting chaired by Mr. Éric Trappier, the Board of Directors approved the 2024 statement of accounts. The audit procedures have been completed and the audit opinion is in the process of being issued.

FINANCIAL RELEASE

Saint-Cloud – March 5, 2025

"Driven by the commercial success of the Rafale, particularly the 30 Export Rafale ordered in 2024, Dassault Aviation's backlog continues to grow. It stood at a new record of EUR 43.2 billion as of December 31, 2024, consisting of 299 aircraft (164 Export Rafale, 56 Rafale France and 79 Falcon). A total of 507 Rafale have been ordered since the beginning of the program: 273 Export Rafale and 234 Rafale France.

Net sales in 2024 amounted to EUR 6.2 billion, versus guidance in the range of EUR 6 billion. 21 Rafale (14 France and 7 Export) and 31 Falcon aircraft were delivered. Adjusted operating income amounted to EUR 519 million, i.e. an operating margin of 8.3%. The record adjusted net income stood at EUR 1.1 billion, i.e. a net margin of 17.0%.

In 2024, the international context was still marked by the war on Europe's doorstep and international tensions. Inflation in 2024 confirmed the decrease that began in 2023. In France, the domestic situation was impacted by political instability, with four different governments in 2024, which weighed on the country's economic actors; the increases in mandatory charges passed in early 2025 will impact companies' result. The arrival of the new President of the United States will impact Europe's economic and defense policy.

Dassault Aviation is continuing to ramp up production of the Rafale against a backdrop of persistent external and internal supply chain issues. These supply chain difficulties have led to catch-up plans. In the face of these disruptions, Dassault Aviation is taking action through:

• GIFAS (French Aerospace Industries Association),
• its participation in investment funds dedicated to supporting the French aerospace supply chain,
• the support of the suppliers in difficulty and the search for alternatives when appropriate,
• internal monitoring at Dassault Aviation in order to anticipate the risk of further supplier failures.

In this context, 2024 saw:

• the continued success of the Rafale with 30 Export Rafale ordered by two new customers: Indonesia with 18 Rafale, bringing the total ordered to 42, and Serbia with 12 Rafale. Serbia is the eighth export customer for the Rafale and the third European export country,
• the delivery of 21 Rafale out of a target of 20, including 14 to France and 7 for Export (all 24 Rafale ordered by Greece have now been delivered). 13 Rafale were delivered in 2023,
• the order for 26 Falcon in 2024, compared with 23 in 2023,
• the delivery of 31 Falcon, including the first Falcon 6X, with a target of 35. 26 Falcon were delivered in 2023,
• the announcement by the French Minister of the Armed Forces of the development launch of the unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) that will complement the future Rafale F5 standard (after 2030). This UAV will be complementary to the Rafale and suited to collaborative combat. It will benefit from the achievements of the nEUROn program.

Regarding developments, the continuation of work on:

• the execution of the F4 standard development contract,
• the Falcon 10X development, with the first deliveries scheduled for the end of 2027,
• the phase 1B of the NGF (New Generation Fighter) demonstrator within the framework of FCAS,
• the development of the Avsimar and Archange mission aircraft.

Regarding support:

maintaining excellence for Export Rafale and Rafale France support in the context of growth in activity,

FINANCIAL RELEASE

Saint-Cloud – March 5, 2025

the strengthening of our Falcon maintenance centers network with the commissioning of a maintenance center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the continued construction of a service center in Melbourne, Florida.

Regarding industrial investments, the continued upgrading of infrastructures, in particular to accommodate the first Falcon 10X and ensure the Rafale ramp-up.

Regarding Dassault Aviation's commitment to the environment and the decarbonization of its Falcon aircraft, with:

• significant results for the Parent Company's energy saving plan which was launched at the end of 2022,
• the progress of the SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) plan, with 752 internal flights carried out in 2024 with ~30% SAF blends, and the technical support of our customers and operators who are committed to this approach,
• a testing approach for real-conditions decarbonization solutions for all ground phases at Paris-Le Bourget airport as part of a 5-year protocol signed in 2024 with the ADP group.

While financial resources are being allocated to decarbonization, the increase in tax on airline tickets included in the finance law penalizes business aviation in France.

In the social domain, the recruitment effort has been significant, with nearly 2,400 new hires. 30% of the workforce has been renewed in 3 years, supported by a robust integration system. True to the legacies of Serge and Marcel Dassault, Dassault Aviation considers value sharing a core part of its DNA and maintains an attractive employment model. Based on 2024 profits, the employees of Dassault Aviation's French companies benefited from a profit-sharing and incentive scheme amounting to EUR 245 million, including the corresponding employer's tax, compared with the minimum legal profit-sharing of EUR 51 million, including the corresponding employer's tax.

The new non-financial reporting obligations (CSRD: Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive), covering the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) themes, require highly detailed information on the impacts of Dassault Aviation's activity on sustainability matters, as well as how these matters would impact Dassault Aviation. Our sustainability statement is published in Chapter 4 of the Directors' report.

2025 objectives:

• Deliver Rafale and Falcon according to our planning,
• Respect the deadlines and costs for military and Falcon developments,
• Prepare for the future of the Rafale with its combat drone accompanying the F5 standard, and for the post-Rafale era with the NGF,
• Support and availability of our aircraft: maintain the satisfaction level of our military customers and regain a leading position in business aviation support rankings,
• Continue Export Rafale prospecting and Falcon sales,
• Accelerate Make in India,
• Continue our recruitment efforts, the integration of new hires, and our actions aimed at reducing our environmental impact.

The guidance for 2025 is an increase in net sales compared to 2024, in the range of EUR 6.5 billion, including deliveries of 40 Falcon and 25 Rafale."

This guidance for 2025 excludes any impact from the potential implementation of new tariffs in the United States and possible European countermeasures.

Éric TRAPPIER, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dassault Aviation

Defense programs

In 2024, Defense order intake totaled EUR 8,309 million, compared with EUR 6,524 million in 2023.

The Defense Export share amounted to EUR 7,294 million in 2024, versus EUR 3,583 million in 2023. In 2024, 30 Rafale were ordered (18 by Indonesia, 12 by Serbia) compared to 18 Rafale ordered by Indonesia in 2023.

The Defense France share amounted to EUR 1,015 million in 2024, compared with EUR 2,941 million in 2023. This decrease is explained in particular by the 42 Rafale from the fifth batch ordered in 2023.

Falcon programs

In 2024, 26 Falcon orders were recorded, compared with 23 in 2023. Order intake totaled EUR 2,560 million versus EUR 1,729 million in 2023. The increase is notably due to the number of aircraft ordered and a favorable product mix.

The Defense France share was EUR 1,949 million versus EUR 1,468 million in 2023. This increase is notably due to the delivery of 14 Rafale compared with 11 Rafale in 2023 and to higher invoicing for development work.

Falcon programs

31 Falcon were delivered in 2024, compared with guidance of 35, versus 26 deliveries in 2023.

Falcon net sales for 2024 was EUR 2,265 million versus EUR 1,821 million in 2023. The increase is primarily due to the number of Falcon delivered (31 vs. 26).

APPENDIX

FINANCIAL RELEASE

Saint-Cloud – March 5, 2025

1. DEFINITION OF ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

To reflect consolidated actual economic performance, and for monitoring and comparability reasons, Dassault Aviation presents an income statement adjusted with the following elements:

• gains and losses resulting from the exercise of hedging instruments, which do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS standards. This income, presented as financial income in the consolidated financial statements, is reclassified as net sales and thus as operating income in the adjusted income statement,
• the valuation of foreign exchange derivatives which do not qualify for hedge accounting, by neutralizing the change in fair value of these instruments (considering that gains or losses on hedging should only impact income as commercial flows occur), with the exception of derivatives allocated to hedge balance sheet positions whose change in fair value is presented as operating income,
• amortization of assets valued as part of the purchase price allocation (business combinations), known as "PPA",
• adjustments made by Thales in its financial reporting.

Dassault Aviation also presents the "available cash" indicator, which reflects the amount of total liquidities, net of financial debt. It covers the following balance sheet items:

• cash and cash equivalents,
• other current financial assets,
• financial debt, excluding lease liabilities.

The calculation of this indicator is detailed in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 9).

Only consolidated financial statements are audited by statutory auditors.

Adjusted financial data are subject to the verification procedures applicable to all information provided in the annual report.
