BETHESDA, Md., Oct. 22, 2026 – Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] today reported third quarter 2026 sales of $20.7 billion, compared to $18.6 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Net earnings in the third quarter of 2026 were $1.8 billion, or $7.97 per share, compared to $1.6 billion, or $6.95 per share. Cash from operations was $3.4 billion in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.7 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Free cash flow was $3.0 billion in the third quarter of 2026, compared to $3.3 billion in the third quarter of 2025. Backlog grew 27% since the second quarter of 2026, setting another new record at $292.0 billion.

“Our strong third quarter performance underscores Lockheed Martin’s continuing leadership in the development and delivery of advanced and reliable defense technology solutions. Every day, our research, engineering and production teams are putting highly effective and scalable capabilities in the field. We strive to improve mission performance on a continuous basis by combining proven systems like Aegis, F-35, and Hellfire with the latest digital technologies including AI and Autonomy. We are doing this by integrating our internal innovative solutions with those of start-ups, new entrants into our industry, and commercial technology leaders.” said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet.

“By pulling through our existing platforms and systems using innovations from multiple sources and with newly available digital technology, we can drive elevated growth in our financial performance as well. In the third quarter each of our four segments posted growth year-over-year, sales topped $20.7 billion and net earnings exceeded $1.8 billion, increases of 11% and 14% respectively. We delivered $3 billion of free cash flow in the quarter, and increased our backlog to a record $292 billion, allowing us to raise our dividend for the 24th year in a row. The sustained financial momentum across our portfolio gives us confidence to increase our outlook for sales, earnings per share and free cash flow, the second consecutive quarter we have raised our financial guidance.”

F-35 Lots 20-22 Contract Update

The company remains in negotiations with the U.S. Government on the production contracts for F-35 lots 20 and higher. The company's costs incurred began to exceed the current contractual authorization and funding on the Lot 20 advance acquisition contract during the third quarter of 2026. Without additional contractual authorization and funding from the U.S. Government, the company's results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition will be negatively impacted in future periods.

Operating profit 743 682 2,122 1,304

Operating margin 9.0 % 9.4 % 9.1 % 6.0 %

Third quarter 2026 sales increased $958 million, or 13%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales of $710 million on the F‑35 program as a result of higher volume on production and sustainment contracts and $270 million on the C-130 program due to the liquidation of pre-contract costs incurred in anticipation of a contract award in the third quarter of 2026. These increases were partially offset by lower sales of $130 million on the F-16 program due to lower production volume and the sales impact of unfavorable profit adjustments recognized.

Third quarter 2026 operating profit increased $61 million, or 9%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the higher sales volume previously described, partially offset by higher unfavorable profit adjustments of $40 million on the F-16 program and $40 million on the C-130 program.

Third quarter 2026 sales increased $877 million, or 24%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $480 million on integrated air and missile defense programs due to production ramps (Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD)), and $330 million on tactical and strike missile programs due to production ramps (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) and Precision Strike Missile (PrSM)).

Third quarter 2026 operating profit increased $121 million, or 24%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volume previously described.

Third quarter 2026 operating profit increased $18 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2025 primarily due to a $40 million favorable profit adjustment upon the resolution of a contracting matter, offset by unfavorable profit adjustments of $45 million on Heavy Lift and Seahawk programs in the third quarter of 2026.

Third quarter 2026 sales increased $129 million, or 4%, compared to the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales of $185 million on strategic and missile defense programs due to higher volume on the Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) and Next Generation Interceptor (NGI) programs, partially offset by lower sales of $115 million for national security space programs due to the program lifecycle on the OPIR mission.

Third quarter 2026 operating profit was comparable to the third quarter of 2025.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rates were 15.1% and 16.5% for the quarters ended September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to increased tax deductions for foreign derived deduction eligible income (FDDEI), partially offset by the absence of the favorable resolution of certain federal income tax audit items as compared to the prior year.

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 a non-GAAP financial measure that the company defines as 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. While management believes that free cash flow as a non-GAAP financial measure may be useful in evaluating the company's financial performance, it should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

As a result, the number of weeks in a reporting quarter may vary slightly during the year and for comparable prior year periods.
