Summary
Lockheed Martin Corporation reported solid financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2010. Net sales increased by 3% year-over-year for both the quarter ($11.44 billion) and the year-to-date period ($21.92 billion). This growth was driven by increases across all business segments, including Aeronautics, Electronic Systems, Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS), and Space Systems. Earnings from continuing operations showed slight year-over-year decreases for the quarter ($727 million vs. $731 million) and a more notable decrease for the six-month period ($1,268 million vs. $1,397 million), attributed in part to a significant tax impact from new healthcare legislation. However, the company also benefited from positive results in discontinued operations, primarily from the planned divestiture of Pacific Architects and Engineers (PAE), which included a substantial tax benefit. The company continued its strong commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases, while also managing its debt levels and maintaining a healthy cash position.
