Lockheed Martin Corporation reported first quarter 2025 sales of $18.0 billion, compared to $17.2 billion in the first quarter of 2024. Net earnings in the first quarter of 2025 were $1.7 billion, or $7.28 per share, compared to $1.5 billion, or $6.39 per share, in the first quarter of 2024. Cash from operations was $1.4 billion in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2024. Free cash flow was $955 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $1.3 billion in the first quarter of 2024.
"The momentum we created last year continued into the first quarter of 2025, with sales growing 4% year-over-year and free cash flow generation of $955 million. We continued investing in the business with over $850 million of research and development and capital expenditures in the quarter, and returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO Jim Taiclet. "These solid first quarter results reinforce confidence in our ability to achieve the full year 2025 financial guidance we laid out in January, demonstrating the resilience and adaptability of Lockheed Martin's franchises amidst a highly dynamic geopolitical and technical environment."
"We are focused on operational excellence to drive the timely and efficient execution of our $173 billion backlog, which represents more than two years of sales," continued Taiclet. "We remain committed to realizing our vision of digital and interoperable systems and are aligning our mission roadmaps to best support our customers' rapidly evolving security needs, both domestic and global. This focus, along with Lockheed Martin's track record of innovation and performance, continues to result in new awards, including the recent missiles contracts for Precision Strike Missiles, THAAD and JASSM/LRASM, as well as the Trident II D5 Life Extension, comprising up to $10 billion of future work."
