ARLINGTON (dpa-AFX) - BAE Systems plc (BA.L), a British arms, security and
aerospace company, said that trading so far this year has been in line with
expectations. Operational performance continues to be strong and its backlog and
programme incumbencies underscore its confidence in its long-term value-creating
model.

Looking ahead for fiscal 2024, the company still expects an increase of 10
percent to 12 percent in sales, 11 percent to 13 percent in underlying EBIT,
and 6 percent to 8 percent in underlying earnings per share.

In 2024, in the UK, the company's ambition is to hire a record 2,700 new
apprentices, graduates and undergraduates.

The company noted that the 2023 final dividend of 18.5 pence per share will be
paid on 3 June 2024.

BAE Systems said it will announce its interim results for the half year ending
30 June 2024 on 1 August 2024.
