Cash from operations was $1.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024, compared to $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2023.

"Over the past few months, Lockheed Martin's people, systems, and platforms have again demonstrated their ability to enhance security in Eastern Europe, the Red Sea, and the Middle East. From the PAC-3's critical role in air defense, to the Aegis Combat System with AI augmentation, to the F-35 with its advanced sensor and data management capabilities, our company has made major contributions to allied and partner defense. We continue to demonstrate the impact of our 21st Century Security(®) strategy by harnessing the latest digital technologies to continuously improve mission effectiveness, strengthening and scaling the defense production system, and expanding industrial cooperation among our allies and partners. Consequently, demand for our defense technology solutions remains robust, with a backlog of nearly $160 billion, greater than two times annual revenue," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet.

"We delivered strong second quarter financial results, with year-over-year growth of 9% in sales and 10% in segment operating profit, and free cash flow generation in excess of $1.5 billion. The year-to-date performance gives us confidence to raise our 2024 full-year outlook for sales, segment operating profit, and earnings per share. Operationally, the F-35 remains a top priority, and we recently delivered the first Technology Refresh 3-configured aircraft to the customer and anticipate deliveries for 2024 to meet our expected range of 75-110 F-35s. The TR-3 hardware and software update enables step function improvement in capability to our airmen, sailors, and marines, as well as to our partner and allied nations. This foundational upgrade and the follow-on series of enhancements, known as Block 4, are critical steps in ensuring the F-35 remains the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world and the key air vehicle node in the DoD's joint all domain architecture."

     2   Although the company typically does not update its outlook for proposed changes in law, the above includes the effect of IRS Notice 2023-63 confirming that certain expenditures incurred in the performance of cost-type contracts are not subject to capitalization for tax
           purposes. The company believes incorporating the clarification from the Notice more accurately reflects its expectations because the Notice describes the tax treatment of certain expenditures in accordance with the company's analysis of the Internal Revenue Code.

Cash Flows and Capital Deployment Activities

The increase in operating and free cash flows in the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily due to improvements in working capital (defined as receivables, contract assets, and inventories less accounts payable and contract liabilities) and the timing of federal tax payments. Improvements in working capital were driven by volume and timing of milestone payments impacting both contract liabilities and contract assets on classified programs at the company's Space business segment, decreases in inventory due to deliveries of S-70 helicopters at Sikorsky at the company's RMS business segment, and production and billing cycle timing impacting receivables (primarily F-35 at Aeronautics and Integrated Air and Missile Defense at MFC, partially offset by Integrated warfare systems and sensors at RMS). These improvements were partially offset by the timing of cash payments related to accounts payable (primarily Aeronautics).

The company's cash activities in the second quarter of 2024, included the following:

    --  paying cash dividends of $752 million;
    --  paying $850 million to repurchase 1.9 million shares; and
    --  making a long-term debt scheduled repayment of $168 million.

Segment Results

The company operates in four business segments organized based on the nature of products and services offered: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. The following table presents summary operating results of the company's business segments and reconciles these amounts to the company's consolidated financial results.

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, 2023.

The company's consolidated net favorable profit booking rate adjustments represented approximately 21% and 20% of total segment operating profit in the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023. During the quarter ended June 25, 2023, we recognized a favorable profit adjustment of $65 million on an international surveillance and control program due to the positive resolution of a contractual matter, and an unfavorable profit adjustment of $100 million on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) as a result of increased costs and lower than planned revenues.

Aeronautics' net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased $402 million, or 6%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of $335 million on the F-35 program due to higher volume on sustainment, development and production contracts; and $105 million on the F-16 program due to the ramp up on production.

Aeronautics' operating profit in the second quarter of 2024 increased $33 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in operating profit was attributable to $35 million from higher volume and program ramp up described above and $25 million from favorable contract mix across the portfolio, partially offset by $25 million of lower profit booking rate adjustments. The decrease in profit booking rate adjustments was due to a $45 million unfavorable profit adjustment on a classified program because of higher than anticipated costs to maintain program objectives, partially offset by higher net favorable profit adjustments across the portfolio.

MFC's net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased $347 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of $320 million for tactical and strike missile programs due to production ramp up on Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (GMLRS) and Long Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) programs.

MFC's operating profit in the second quarter of 2024 increased $79 million, or 21%, compared to the same period in 2023, due to $80 million of higher profit booking rate adjustments which primarily reflects higher favorable profit booking rate adjustments on PAC-3 and Apache due to better than anticipated cost performance. Additionally, operating profit increased $30 million from production ramp up described above, offset by $30 million decrease from contract mix.

RMS' net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased $651 million, or 17%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of $420 million on integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs due to higher volume on radar programs and the Canadian Surface Combatant (CSC) program, and new program ramp up within the laser systems portfolio; and $160 million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to higher production volume on Black Hawk and CH-53K programs.

RMS' operating profit in the second quarter of 2024 increased $41 million, or 9%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in operating profit was attributable to $70 million from higher volume described above, partially offset by $20 million of lower profit booking rate adjustments. The decrease in profit booking rate adjustments was due to unfavorable profit adjustments on Seahawk and Black Hawk production programs as a result of increased costs, partially offset by the net impact in the second quarter of 2023 of both a $65 million favorable profit adjustment on an international surveillance and control program and a $100 million unfavorable profit adjustment on the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) that did not recur in the second quarter of 2024.

Space's net sales in the second quarter of 2024 increased $29 million, or 1%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to higher net sales of $110 million for strategic and missile defense programs due to higher volume on the hypersonics and Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) programs; partially offset by lower net sales of $50 million for national security space due to lower volume on classified programs and $45 million for commercial civil space due to lower volume on the Orion program.

Space's operating profit in the second quarter of 2024 increased $34 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in operating profit was attributable to $20 million from favorable contract mix across the portfolio and $20 million of higher profit booking rate adjustments. The increase in profit booking rate adjustments was due to higher favorable profit adjustments on the FBM program.

Total equity earnings/(losses) (primarily ULA) represented approximately $10 million, or 3% of Space's operating profit in the second quarter of 2024, compared to approximately $20 million, or 6% for the same period in 2023.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rate was 15.8% and 16.2% for the quarters ended June 30, 2024 and June 25, 2023. The rates for both periods benefited from research and development tax credits, tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income and dividends paid to the company's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature.

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.

Adjusted earnings before income taxes; adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS

Earnings before income taxes, net earnings and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were impacted by certain non-operational items for all periods. Management believes the presentation of these measures adjusted for the impacts of these non-operational items is useful to investors in understanding the company's underlying business performance and comparing performance from period to period. The tax effects related to each adjustment that impacted earnings before income taxes are based on a blended tax rate that combines the federal statutory rate of 21% plus an estimated state tax rate.

The table below shows the impact to earnings before income taxes, net earnings and diluted EPS for certain non-operational items:

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains statements that, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, and are based on Lockheed Martin's current expectations and assumptions. The words "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "project," "intend," "expect," "plan," "outlook," "scheduled," "forecast" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially due to factors such as:

    --  the company's reliance on contracts with the U.S. Government, which are
        dependent on U.S. Government funding and can be terminated for
        convenience, and the company's ability to negotiate favorable contract
        terms;
    --  budget uncertainty, the risk of future budget cuts, the impact of
        continuing resolution funding mechanisms and the debt ceiling and the
        potential for government shutdowns and changing funding and acquisition
        priorities;
    --  risks related to the development, production, sustainment, performance,
        schedule, cost and requirements of complex and technologically advanced
        programs, including the F-35 program;
    --  planned production rates and orders for significant programs, compliance
        with stringent performance and reliability standards, and materials
        availability, including government furnished equipment;
    --  the timing of contract awards or delays in contract definitization as
        well as the timing and customer acceptance of product deliveries and
        performance milestones;
    --  the company's ability to recover costs under U.S. Government contracts
        and the mix of fixed-price and cost-reimbursable contracts;
    --  customer procurement policies that shift risk to contractors, including
        competitively bid programs with fixed-price development work or
        follow-on production options or other financial risks; and the impact of
        investments, cost overruns or other cost pressures and performance
        issues on fixed price contracts;
    --  changes in procurement and other regulations and policies affecting the
        company's industry, export of its products, cost allowability or
        recovery, preferred contract type, and performance and progress payments
        policy;
    --  performance and financial viability of key suppliers, teammates, joint
        ventures (including United Launch Alliance), joint venture partners,
        subcontractors and customers;
    --  economic, industry, business and political conditions including their
        effects on governmental policy;
    --  the impact of inflation and other cost pressures;
    --  the impact of pandemics and epidemics on the company's business and
        financial results, including supply chain disruptions and delays,
        employee absences, and program delays;
    --  government actions that prevent the sale or delivery of the company's
        products (such as delays in approvals for exports requiring
        Congressional notification);
    --  trade policies or sanctions (including Chinese sanctions on the company
        or its suppliers, teammates or partners, U.S. Government sanctions on
        Türkish entities and persons, indirect effects of sanctions on Russia
        to the company's supply chain);
    --  the company's success expanding into and doing business in adjacent
        markets and internationally and the risks posed by international sales;
    --  changes in foreign national priorities and foreign government budgets
        and planned orders, including potential effects from fluctuations in
        currency exchange rates;
    --  the competitive environment for the company's products and services,
        including competition from startups and non-traditional defense
        contractors;
    --  the company's ability to develop and commercialize new technologies and
        products, including emerging digital and network technologies and
        capabilities;
    --  the company's ability to benefit fully from or adequately protect its
        intellectual property rights;
    --  the company's ability to attract and retain a highly skilled workforce,
        the impact of work stoppages or other labor disruptions;
    --  cyber or other security threats or other disruptions faced by the
        company or its suppliers;
    --  the company's ability to implement and continue, and the timing and
        impact of, capitalization changes such as share repurchases, dividend
        payments and financing transactions;
    --  the accuracy of the company's estimates and projections;
    --  changes in pension plan assumptions and actual returns on pension
        assets; cash funding requirements and pension risk transfers and
        associated settlement charges;
    --  realizing the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or divestitures,
        investments, joint ventures, teaming arrangements or internal
        reorganizations, and market volatility affecting the fair value of
        investments that are marked to market;
    --  the company's efforts to increase the efficiency of its operations and
        improve the affordability of its products and services, including
        through digital transformation and cost reduction initiatives;
    --  the risk of an impairment of the company's assets, including the
        potential impairment of goodwill and intangibles;
    --  the availability and adequacy of the company's insurance and
        indemnities;
    --  impacts of climate change and compliance with laws, regulations,
        policies, and customer requirements in response to climate change
        concerns;
    --  changes in accounting, U.S. or foreign tax, export or other laws,
        regulations, and policies and their interpretation or application, and
        changes in the amount or reevaluation of uncertain tax positions; and
    --  the outcome of legal proceedings, bid protests, environmental
        remediation efforts, audits, government investigations or government
        allegations that the company has failed to comply with law, other
        contingencies and U.S. Government identification of deficiencies in its
        business systems.

These are only some of the factors that may affect the forward-looking statements contained in this news release. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the company's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" in the company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. The company's filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of its website, www.lockheedmartin.com/investor, or through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

The company's actual financial results likely will be different from those projected due to the inherent nature of projections. Given these uncertainties, forward-looking statements should not be relied on in making investment decisions. The forward-looking statements contained in this news release speak only as of the date of its filing. Except where required by applicable law, the company expressly disclaims a duty to provide updates to forward-looking statements after the date of this news release to reflect subsequent events, changed circumstances, changes in expectations, or the estimates and assumptions associated with them. The forward-looking statements in this news release are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection provided by the federal securities laws.

     1 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.
