Lockheed Martin Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results
BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] today reported fourth quarter 2025 sales of $20.3 billion, compared to $18.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2025 were $1.3 billion, or $5.80 per share, compared to $527 million, or $2.22 per share, including $1.7 billion ($1.3 billion, or $5.45 per share, after tax) of losses for classified programs, in the fourth quarter of 2024. Cash from operations was $3.2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1.0 billion in the fourth quarter of 2024. Free cash flow was $2.8 billion in the fourth quarter of 2025, after a pension contribution of $860 million, compared to $441 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, after a pension contribution of $990 million.
"With a record $194 billion backlog, 6% year-over-year sales growth, and free cash flow generation above our prior expectation, 2025 marked a year of unprecedented demand for Lockheed Martin capabilities. This escalating demand for our signature programs and systems has been driven by combat-proven performance over recent years that has already been again demonstrated in 2026. During the U.S. military's recent Operation Absolute Resolve, F-35 and F-22 fighter jets, RQ-170 stealth drones, and Sikorsky Black Hawk helicopters were decisive contributors to enable American soldier, sailors, marines, and airmen to successfully execute extremely difficult missions and return safely," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "To ensure we continue delivering overwhelming capability at speed and scale, we invested more than $3.5 billion during 2025 in production capacity and next-generation technologies throughout the year, underscoring our disciplined capital allocation.
"Having long advocated for a new way of doing business between government and industry, we are well positioned to perform under the Department of War's Acquisition Transformation Strategy, as evidenced by our landmark, seven-year framework agreement for PAC-3 missiles early in the first quarter," Taiclet continued. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with the DoW and Congress to definitize this contract and officially unleash a new era of increased innovation, accountability and execution within the defense industrial base.
"This notable start to 2026 reinforces our confidence in Lockheed Martin's continued operational and financial growth in the year ahead. We expect sales and reported segment operating profit growth of approximately 5% and 25% year-over-year, respectively, and free cash flow between $6.5 to $6.8 billion, an increase compared to our prior expectation. With a strong emphasis on operational performance and clear alignment with our customers' national defense priorities, we will continue to deliver superior, reliable capabilities to U.S. and Allied militaries to strengthen deterrence and provide overwhelming combat advantage, while providing strong results and value to our shareholders."

Business segment operating profit for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 included losses, recognized in second quarter of 2025, of $950 million
($713 million, or $3.04 per share, after-tax) on a classified program at its Aeronautics business segment, and $570 million ($428 million, or
$1.83 per share, after-tax) on CMHP and $95 million ($71 million, or $0.30 per share, after-tax) on TUHP at its RMS business segment.

Impairment and other charges for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025 included $66 million ($52 million, or $0.22 per share, after-tax) primarily for
the write-off of fixed assets at its Aeronautics business segment.
4
Net earnings for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025 included a non-operational charge of $479 million ($377 million, or $1.63 per

insurance companies in December 2025.
5
Cash from operations for the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025 reflects a pension contribution of $860 million.
Cash from operations in the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025 was $3.2 billion and $8.6 billion with free cash flow of $2.8 billion and $6.9 billion compared to $1.0 billion and $7.0 billion with $441 million and $5.3 billion in free cash flow in the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2024. The increase in cash from operations was primarily due to various changes in working capital (primarily timing of cash payments for accounts payable and contract liabilities at RMS) and lower tax payments, reflecting the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Tax Act).
The company's cash activities in the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025, included the following:

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $515 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $300 million on classified programs due to the sales impact of losses recognized on a classified contract in 2024, partially offset by lower volume; and $200 million on the F-35 program due to higher volume and contract mix.
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $348 million, or 80%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to $290 million of higher profit rate adjustments and $35 million from higher sales volume previously described. The higher profit rate adjustments were primarily driven by the fourth quarter 2024 adjustments ($410 million of losses recognized on a classified contract, offset by a $70 million favorable profit rate adjustment associated with the resolution of a completed C-5 Galaxy aircraft contract).
Sales in 2025 increased $1.6 billion, or 6%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $1.9 billion on the F-35 program due to higher volume on production and sustainment contracts, partially offset by lower sales of $215 million due to lower volume on classified contracts.
Operating profit in 2025 decreased $437 million, or 17%, compared to 2024. The decrease was attributable to $585 million of lower profit rate adjustments, partially offset by $160 million from higher sales volume previously described. The lower profit rate adjustments were primarily driven by a net impact of $395 million of reach-forward losses recognized on a classified contract ($950 million recognized in 2025 and $555 million recognized in 2024), and $140 million of unfavorable profit adjustments on C-130 program.

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $608 million, or 18%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to production ramp-up of $380 million at tactical and strike missile programs (precision fires) and $180 million at integrated air and missile defense programs (existing contracts on PAC-3).
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $1.3 billion, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was attributable to a $1.2 billion increase in profit booking rate adjustments and $65 million from higher sales volume previously described. The increase in profit booking rate adjustments was primarily driven by the fourth quarter 2024 reach-forward loss of $1.3 billion recognized on a classified program.
Sales in 2025 increased $1.8 billion, or 14%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to production ramp-up of $1.4 billion at tactical and strike missile programs (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) and precision fires) and $450 million at integrated air and missile defense programs (existing contracts on PAC-3).
Operating profit in 2025 increased $1.6 billion, or 382%, compared to 2024. This increase was attributable to a $1.3 billion increase in profit booking rate adjustments primarily driven by reach-forward losses of $1.4 billion recognized in 2024 on a classified program and $190 million from higher sales volume previously described.

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $355 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of $225 million on Integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs due to higher volume on radar programs and the River Class Destroyer (RCD) (formally known as Canadian Surface Combatant) program; and $145 million on Sikorsky helicopter programs primarily due to higher production volume on Black Hawk programs.
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased $45 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was attributable to a $40 million decrease in profit booking rate adjustments and $40 million from lower cost recoveries and contract mix, partially offset by $35 million increase from higher sales volume previously described. The decrease in profit booking rate adjustments was primarily due to unfavorable profit adjustments on Black Hawk programs. The decrease in cost recoveries and contract mix includes a $30 million intellectual property license arrangement in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Sales in 2025 were comparable to 2024. Sales increased $95 million on Sikorsky helicopter programs primarily due to higher production volume on Black Hawk programs, partially offset by the impact of unfavorable cumulative adjustments to sales driven by recognizing reach-forward losses on CMHP and TUHP in the second quarter of 2025 and lower production volume on Seahawk programs. Additionally, sales increased $75 million on IWSS programs due to higher volume on the RCD program and radar programs, partially offset by lower volume on Littoral Combat Ship (LCS). These increases were offset by lower net sales of $165 million for various TLS programs due to lower volume.
Operating profit in 2025 decreased $598 million, or 31%, compared to 2024. This decrease was attributable to a $610 million decrease in profit booking rate adjustments. The decrease in profit booking rate adjustments was primarily due to the reach-forward losses recognized on CMHP and TUHP in the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by unfavorable profit adjustments on Seahawk programs in the first quarter of 2024.

Sales in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased $221 million, or 8%, compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume of $135 million for strategic and missile defense programs on the NGI and FBM programs, $45 million for national security space programs on Transport Layer program, and $30 million for commercial civil space programs primarily on the Orion program.
Operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 decreased $10 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2024. This decrease was due to $20 million of lower equity earnings from the company's investment in United Launch Alliance (ULA), partially offset by $15 million increase from higher sales volume previously described.
Sales in 2025 increased $550 million, or 4%, compared to 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume of $380 million for strategic and missile defense programs on the NGI and FBM programs, and $255 million for commercial civil space programs primarily on the Orion program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $135 million on national security space programs due to program lifecycle in the OPIR mission.
Operating profit in 2025 increased $119 million, or 10%, compared to 2024. This increase was attributable to a $145 million increase in profit booking rate adjustments, and $30 million increase from higher sales volume previously described; which were partially offset by $40 million of lower equity earnings from the company's investment in ULA. The increase in profit booking rate adjustments was primarily due to favorable performance at completion on certain commercial civil space programs.
Total equity (losses) and earnings (ULA) were not significant during both the quarter and year ended Dec. 31, 2025, compared to approximately $15 million, or 5%, and $45 million, or 4%, of Space's operating profit for the same periods in 2024.
Income Taxes
The company's effective income tax rate was 12.2% and (1.5)% for the quarters ended Dec. 31, 2025 and 2024. The company's effective income tax rate was 15.3% and 14.2% for the years ended Dec. 31, 2025 and 2024. The higher effective income tax rate for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025 was attributable to the Tax Act primarily driven by lower tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income (FDII) partially offset by the favorable resolution of certain federal income tax audit items with the Internal Revenue Service. The rates for all periods benefited from research and development tax credits, dividends paid to the company's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature, tax deductions for FDII 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.

adjustment.
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.

Calendar quarters are typically comprised of 13 weeks. However, the company closes its books and records on the last Sunday of each month,
except for the month of Dec., as its fiscal year ends on Dec. 31. As a result, the number of weeks in a reporting quarter may vary slightly during
the year and for comparable prior year periods.
