HENSOLDT AG posted a 33% jump in nine-month EBITDA to 281 million euros ($315.56 million) on Thursday morning, driven by higher radar deliveries. The Germany-based defence electronics maker raised its full-year revenue outlook slightly to around 2.8 billion euros. Stronger profitability highlights how European contractors are converting surging backlogs into cash as regional security spending accelerates.
