BETHESDA, Md., July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] today reported second quarter 2025 sales of $18.2 billion, compared to $18.1 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2025 were $342 million, or $1.46 per share, including $1.6 billion of program losses and $169 million of other charges. This compares to $1.6 billion, or $6.85 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Cash from operations was $201 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024. Free cash flow was $(150) million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $1.5 billion in the second quarter of 2024.
"Over the course of the past few months, Lockheed Martin systems and platforms once again proved highly effective in combat operations and in deterring further aggression. Our F-35s, F-22s, PAC-3, THAAD, Aegis and many others, crewed by the soldiers, airmen, sailors, marines and guardians of the U.S. and its Allies, and supported by our own dedicated teammates, performed extremely well in the most crucial and challenging situations," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "Based in part on this record of performance as well as the promise of several advanced technologies in development, our U.S. and allied customers are asking us to elevate and accelerate many key programs. For example, several allied nations have recently announced additional F-35 purchases, the U.S. Army has awarded more than $1 billion in missile-related contracts so far, and the U.S. Space Force is ordering additional GPS IIIF satellites. At the same time, our ongoing program review process identified new developments that caused us to re-evaluate the financial position on a set of major legacy programs. As a result, we are taking a number of charges this quarter to address these newly identified risks. We remain committed to delivering these critical capabilities that our customers are counting on and are fully focused on the growth inflection we expect as the result of heightened interest and demand for Lockheed Martin's products and technologies.
"Overall, the company's foundation remains solid and resilient. In the second quarter, sales of $18 billion grew sequentially, as we continued to drive supply chain improvements and ramp capacity on needed deterrent capabilities. In addition, we invested $800 million in infrastructure and innovation for growth and returned $1.3 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. We are maintaining full year 2025 guidance for sales, cash from operations, capital expense, free cash flow, and share repurchases. The program charges taken in the quarter - which resulted from our ongoing rigorous monitoring and review processes - are a necessary step as we continue to take action to improve program execution. We're investing in emerging technologies, and as a proven mission integrator, we remain well positioned to support critical programs like the Golden Dome for America. Our relentless focus on operational performance combined with our disciplined capital allocation strategy will enable us to deliver value to our shareholders, while providing the advanced solutions that America and its allies need to maintain peace through strength for decades to come."
Program Losses and Other Charges
During the second quarter, the Company took important steps to address challenges on a classified program at its Aeronautics business segment and certain international helicopter programs at its Sikorsky business unit.. The Company also recognized other charges related to asset impairments and a tax matter as described below.
Aeronautics Classified Program - Aeronautics has experienced design, integration, and test challenges, as well as other performance issues on this program. These trends continued into 2025 and had a greater impact on schedule and costs than previously estimated. As a result, Aeronautics performed a comprehensive review of its program execution and management processes to achieve the technical requirements of the program, which was completed in the second quarter. Based on this review and ongoing discussions with the customer and suppliers, Aeronautics made significant changes to its processes and testing approach, resulting in significant updates to the program's schedule and cost estimates. As a result, during the second quarter of 2025 the Company recognized additional pretax reach-forward losses of $950 million on the program.
Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) - The Company is in ongoing discussions with the customer regarding a potential restructure to certain contractual terms and conditions and to expand the scope of work that would be beneficial to both parties. Communications with the customer during the second quarter of 2025 led to subsequent decisions made by the Company to focus on providing additional mission capabilities, enhanced logistical support, fleet life extension, and revised expectations regarding flight hours. As a result of revised cost and sales estimates for the program during the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized additional pretax losses of $570 million on this program in RMS' financial results.
Türkish Utility Helicopter Program (TUHP) - The Company has been discussing a potential mutually agreeable framework to restructure the program, including changing the scope of work. In light of the status of the continuing discussions with the customer and the current status of the program, RMS revised its cost and sales estimates for this program. As a result, during the second quarter of 2025, the Company recognized additional pretax reach-forward losses of $95 million on this program in RMS' financial results.
Other Charges - During the second quarter of 2025, the company recognized a charge of $66 million primarily for the write-off of fixed assets resulting from the U.S. Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) down-select decision. The company also recognized a charge of $103 million related to uncertain tax positions as part of its income tax expense, resulting from the Internal Revenue Service's proposed adjustments to its tax accounting method change for certain manufacturing contracts.
The table below provides supplemental information regarding the impacts of the program losses and other charges described above.

Cash from operations in the second quarter of 2025 was $201 million with free cash flow of $(150) million compared to $1.9 billion with $1.5 billion in free cash flow in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease in cash from operations was primarily due to an increase in working capital, which is defined as receivables, contract assets, and inventories less accounts payable and contract liabilities. This increase in working capital was driven by four main factors: production and invoice timing impacting receivables, primarily related to the F-35 program at Aeronautics; an increase in contract assets as a result of the timing of milestones, also primarily related to the F-35 program at Aeronautics; an increase in Sikorsky inventory at RMS; and billing cycles impacting contract liabilities primarily related to national security space programs at Space. The decrease in free cash flows was primarily due to these cash from operations drivers.
The company's cash activities in the quarter ended June 29, 2025, included the following:
- paying cash dividends of $771 million;
- paying $500 million to repurchase 1.0 million shares;
- receiving net proceeds of $1.4 billion from the issuance of commercial paper; and
- making a scheduled repayment of $142 million of long-term debt.

For information on factors impacting comparability of the company's segment sales, operating profit and operating margins, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2024.
Consolidated net profit booking rate adjustments decreased segment operating profit by approximately $1.0 billion in the quarter ended June 29, 2025, which includes, as previously described, a loss of $950 million on a classified program at Aeronautics, and losses of $570 million on CMHP and $95 million on TUHP at RMS. Consolidated net profit booking rate adjustments increased segment operating profit by approximately $420 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Aeronautics' sales during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 increased $143 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $470 million on the F-35 program due to higher volume on production contracts. This increase was partially offset by a $360 million unfavorable cumulative adjustment to sales driven by the loss on a classified contract as previously described.
Aeronautics' operating profit during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 decreased $849 million, or 113%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was attributable to the previously described $950 million reach forward loss recognized on a classified contract, which was partially offset by a $90 million increase on the F-35 program due to higher profit booking rate adjustments and volume as described above.

Operating margin | 14.0 % | 14.5 % | 13.9 % | 12.5 % |
MFC's sales during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 increased $331 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $330 million on tactical and strike missile programs due to production ramp-up on Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) and precision fires programs.
MFC's operating profit during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 increased $29 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to three primary factors: a $35 million increase from production ramp up as described above, and a $25 million increase from favorable contract mix; partially offset by a $25 million decrease in profit booking rate adjustments. The decrease in profit booking rate adjustments was primarily due to lower favorable profit adjustments on Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3).

RMS' sales during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 decreased $553 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of $370 million on Sikorsky helicopter programs due to the unfavorable cumulative adjustments to sales driven by recognizing losses on CMHP and TUHP as previously described, and lower production volume on Seahawk programs; and a $145 million decrease on integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs due to lower volume on radar and the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) programs.
RMS' operating profit during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 decreased $667 million, or 135%, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was attributable to a $610 million decrease in profit booking rate adjustments primarily due to a $570 million loss recognized on CMHP and a $95 million loss recognized on TUHP as previously described.

Space's sales during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 increased $112 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $115 million for commercial civil space programs primarily due to higher volume on the Orion program; and $80 million for strategic and missile defense programs due to higher volume on Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) and Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) programs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $95 million on national security space programs due to program lifecycle on the Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared (Next Gen OPIR) system.
Space's operating profit during the quarter ended June 29, 2025 increased $16 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to a $20 million increase in profit booking rate adjustments primarily due to favorable performance at completion on certain commercial civil space programs.
Total equity earnings (ULA) represented approximately $10 million, or 3%, of Space's operating profit for both the quarter ended June 29, 2025, and the same period in 2024.
Income Taxes
The company's effective income tax rate was 18.0% and 15.8% for the quarters ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024. The higher effective income tax rate for the quarter was primarily attributable to increased interest expense on the company's uncertain tax position partially offset by changes in pre-tax earnings due to program losses previously described. The rates for all periods benefited from tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income, research and development tax credits, dividends paid to the company's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature and employee equity awards.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news release contains the following non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures (as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G). While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial performance of the company, this information should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's definitions for non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies or analysts.
Business segment operating profit
Business segment operating profit represents operating profit from the company's business segments before unallocated income and expense. This measure is used by the company's senior management in evaluating the performance of its business segments and is a performance goal in the company's annual incentive plan. Business segment operating margin is calculated by dividing business segment operating profit by sales. The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measure business segment operating profit with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated operating profit.

Free cash flow
Free cash flow is cash from operations less capital expenditures. The company's capital expenditures are comprised of equipment and facilities infrastructure and information technology (inclusive of costs for the development or purchase of internal-use software that are capitalized). The company uses free cash flow to evaluate its business performance and overall liquidity and it is a performance goal in the company's annual and long-term incentive plans. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it represents the amount of cash generated from operations after reinvesting in the business and that may be available to return to stockholders and creditors (through dividends, stock repurchases and debt repayments) or available to fund acquisitions or other investments. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures, however, because it does not account for certain mandatory expenditures, such as the repayment of maturing debt and future pension contributions.
