Q1 2024 sales increased by 9% year-over-year to $10.133 billion, driven by higher sales at all four sectors, reflecting strong demand for products and services. Aeronautics Systems saw the highest growth at 18%.

Operating income increased by 13% year-over-year to $1.071 billion, and operating margin rate increased to 10.6%, primarily due to higher segment operating income and a benefit from the FAS/CAS operating adjustment.

The effective tax rate increased to 16.5% from 15.6% in the prior year period, primarily due to higher interest expense on unrecognized tax benefits, partially offset by benefits for research credits and foreign derived intangible income.
