Frequently Asked Questions

Lockheed Martin's sales growth in 2025 was primarily driven by increased demand across all four business segments – Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), and Space. This surge in demand is attributed to heightened global security needs and ongoing conflicts, leading to increased orders for defense and aerospace products and services. Specific segments like MFC experienced significant growth due to ramp-ups in tactical and strike missile programs.

Lockheed Martin is actively addressing supply chain challenges and inflation by working closely with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of materials and components. The company is also focused on increasing operational efficiencies and improving the cost-competitiveness and affordability of its products and services. While these industry-wide pressures exist, Lockheed Martin's long-term contracts and strategic relationships are designed to mitigate many of these impacts.

The company's backlog stood at $193.6 billion at the end of 2025, which represents committed orders for future delivery. Lockheed Martin expects to recognize approximately 37% of this backlog over the next 12 months and about 60% over the next 24 months. This substantial backlog provides strong visibility into future revenue streams and demonstrates continued customer demand for its products and services.

Yes, the report highlights program-specific challenges, particularly within the Aeronautics segment, which recognized significant additional reach-forward losses on a classified program due to software development issues, integration findings, and revised test plans. Conversely, the company made a strategic investment by acquiring Amentum's Rapid Solutions business in the second quarter of 2025 to enhance its Space segment's capabilities in space and airborne mission technologies.
