Frequently Asked Questions

The primary purpose of this 8-K filing is to report Lockheed Martin Corporation's financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year ended December 31, 2013, by furnishing a press release containing this information.

The detailed financial results are provided in the press release, which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K. You should refer to this exhibit for specific figures and commentary on the company's performance.

While the press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 likely contains forward-looking statements and potentially guidance, the 8-K filing itself, beyond referring to the press release, does not explicitly detail them. Investors should carefully review the content of Exhibit 99.1 for any such statements.

When a document is 'furnished' under an 8-K, it means the company is providing the information to the SEC and the public, but it does not carry the same legal liability under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a document that is 'filed.' This is a common practice for earnings releases.
