Raphael's chairman, Dr. Yuval Steinitz:
Amazing results! Especially in light of the intensification of the war in the north and the massive firing into the Western Galilee where the Rafael facilities operate. Rafale systems proved themselves operational in battle and Israel's technological superiority was reflected in the war in 7 different arenas at the same time. The financial strength of the company reflected in the excellent financial statements includes a significant increase in profit, orders and sales and reaching new records. About a month ago, we received an invitation from the Ministry of Defense expanding the equipping of the "Magan Or" system, which will be deployed in about a year and will significantly change Israel's concept of defense. Rafael employees work with determination and dedication to ensure the safety of the citizens of the State of Israel in projects that prove time and time again how to make the impossible possible. On behalf of myself and the board of directors, I congratulate that these achievements are also reflected in the company's financial results.

Rafael CEO Yoav Turgeman added:
We conclude another quarter in which, despite the "Northern Arrows" operation and its effects on the area where Rafael operates, the company continues the trend of growth and presents excellent financial data and financial stability alongside intensive work in the development and production of the most advanced combat systems in the world. These systems contributed and contribute significantly in the "Iron Swords" war both in defense, with "Iron Dome", "David's Slingshot" and "Windbreaker" and in attack and the ability to gather intelligence.
Rafael shows an increase of about 31% in the company's sales this year and the backlog of orders crossed the NIS 60 billion mark for the first time thanks to a number of significant contracts from major customers in the world and the defense establishment.
The "Iron Swords" war has entered its second year and Rafael employees are all still being recruited into the war effort to continue providing the defense system with a decisive technological advantage.
As a result of the continuous increase in demand and activity and in order to meet our obligations to our customers, we have recruited approximately 1,800 new employees since the beginning of the year. In the coming months, we will continue to take on hundreds more employees, from the best minds, who will help us continue developing breakthrough technologies that give the security systems a significant advantage on the battlefield.
All the best to Rafael.
All the best to Rafael, good luck in whatever days of peace there are
