Company Guidance -

Q3 2025

In the second quarter of 2025, Lockheed Martin reported $18.2 billion in sales, comparable to the previous year, with a sequential increase from the first quarter. Despite recognizing losses of $1.8 billion due to various legacy programs, including $950 million from a classified program and significant charges from Sikorsky programs, the company maintained a strong cash flow outlook, projecting $6.6 to $6.8 billion for the year. The F-35 program delivered 50 aircraft in the quarter, with 97 delivered year-to-date, and international demand remains robust, with countries like the UK and Belgium planning additional purchases. The company is also anticipating significant awards in the second half of the year, including those for the F-35, JASSM LARASM, PAC-3 production, and CH-53K, which could lead to a record backlog by year-end. Despite challenges, Lockheed Martin emphasized its readiness to support national defense priorities and its commitment to shareholder returns, having returned $1.3 billion to shareholders this quarter.

Strong Performance in Combat Operations

Lockheed Martin systems, including the F-35 and F-22, demonstrated high effectiveness in recent US military operations in the Middle East. The PAC-3 missiles successfully intercepted threats, highlighting the reliability of Lockheed Martin's air and missile defense portfolio.

Investment in Infrastructure and Innovation

The company invested $800 million in infrastructure and innovation for growth, reflecting a commitment to future advancements.

International Demand for F-35

Strong international demand continues for F-35s, with the UK planning to procure 12 F-35A's and Belgium adding 11 aircraft to their fleet.

Growth in Space and Missile Programs

Space sales increased by 4% year-over-year, driven by higher volumes in commercial civil space and strategic missile defense programs.

Expansion of Hypersonics Program

The US president's fiscal year 2026 budget requests $400 million for the Air Launched Rapid Response Weapon, Lockheed Martin's first proven hypersonic weapon capable of being launched from an American aircraft.
