When numbers speak!

Top 100 for 2022

The war in Ukraine has sparked a global hunger for weapons that is likely to play out over years. In some cases, the war is pushing countries to turn to off-the-shelf systems rather than wait for programs already in development. As a result, this new wave of spending is likely to have major ramifications for the global defense industry in the coming years.

Jim Taiclet, the chief executive of Lockheed Martin, put it this way in a recent earnings call: “The clutch isn’t engaged yet.”

It’s going to take two to three years,” he told analysts. “That’s for our allies as well because they not only have to go through their own processes internally, they then have to go through generally the [U.S.] Foreign Military Sales process.”

Indeed, these kinds of changes are slower to emerge when it comes to company revenue, and that may be why much of this year’s Defense News Top 100 list looks similar to last year. (Lockheed Martin, Raytheon Technologies and Boeing predictably take the top spots.)

That said, there are some notable changes. Peraton, which made several major acquisitions, has jumped nearly 75 slots to join Leidos, Amentum and Booz Allen Hamilton as the largest U.S. government services contractors.

KBR, which is 32nd, also jumped up the list, while Ukrainian conglomerate Ukroboronprom surged eight spots.

Of course, the list doesn’t capture everything. Only one Russian company participated this year, giving us limited insight into the country’s defense industry. We rely on analysts to provide the data for Chinese companies.

And some of the major players in technology, from Amazon to Google, provide only limited windows into their defense work, meaning we can’t include them on the list because we don’t have a clear understanding of the scope of their defense work.

It’s a reminder that this list isn’t perfect, but what we hope it provides is a meaningful view of the industry and how it changes — or doesn’t — from year to year. It can show trends in sales, acquisitions and geopolitics. And this year’s list does that.

It’s a snapshot that we hope will serve as a useful tool for readers.

Data for the Top 100 list comes from information Defense News solicited from companies, from companies’ annual reports, from analysts, and from research by Defense News, the International Institute for Strategic Studies and SPADE Indexes.

Companies were contacted by Defense News and asked to fill out a survey reporting their total annual revenue and revenue derived from defense, intelligence, homeland security and other national security contracts.

Currency conversions for non-U.S. firms were calculated using average market conversion rates over each firm’s fiscal year to mitigate the effects of currency fluctuations.

Company adjustments made to 2020 defense revenue during the subsequent year is not reflected unless otherwise noted.

Footnotes

  1. Total defense revenue is based on a percentage of total revenue.

  3. China’s two largest shipbuilding conglomerates, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and China State Shipbuilding Corporation, merged in November 2019 to create China State Shipbuilding Corporation Limited. The resulting company’s total revenue in last year’s list solely reflected its shipbuilding business, and its defense revenue reflected defense-related activity from the overall shipbuilding business. Those figures are updated for this year’s list to reflect wider company revenue data.
  4. The fiscal 2020 defense revenue is not adjusted for divestitures.
  5. China Electronics Technology Group acquired China Putian Information Industry Group, otherwise known as Potevio, in June 2021.

  8. The company primarily attributes the growth in defense revenue to Rafale aircraft deliveries, which increased from 13 in fiscal 2020 to 25 in fiscal 2021.
  9. Revenue figures take into account the acquisition of PAE, which Amentum completed Feb. 15, 2022. PAE ranked 80 in last year’s Top 100 list.
  10. Defense revenue comes from the company’s defense and space segment.
  11. Defense revenue reflects awards made by Japan’s Ministry of Defense for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.
  12. In 2021, Peraton acquired Perspecta as well as Northrop Grumman’s integrated mission support and IT solutions business. Fiscal 2021 revenue reflects that of the consolidated company.
  13. In fiscal 2021, four companies were added to the group of consolidated subsidiaries through being founded and one through being acquired. Two companies accounted for using the equity method left the consolidated group due to liquidation.
  14. Fiscal 2020 defense revenue for General Electric was miscalculated in last year’s list; it was $4,572 million. The company would have remained ranked at 27.
  15. SAIC completed its acquisition of Halfaker and Associates on July 2, 2021.
  16. Defense revenue figures include all revenue from the U.S. government.
  17. KNDS is a joint venture of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann and Nexter.
  18. For the first time, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems incorporated the financial reports of its subsidiaries Aeronautics Group and Controp into its revenue calculations.
  19. Vectrus attributes its increase in defense revenue to the acquisition of both Zenetex and HHB Systems as well as organic growth.

  25. Defense revenue comes from the company’s defense and security activities.
  26. Defense revenue comes from the company’s aerospace and defense business.
  27. SAMI announced Dec. 28, 2020, its acquisition of the Advanced Electronics Company, to which it attributes the majority of its defense revenue growth from fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2021. Other notable sources of growth are its weapons and missiles business (now known as defense systems); its emerging technologies division; and its joint ventures involving Saudi Aircraft Accessories and Components Company, Navantia, and Thales.
