Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) filed an 8-K on May 13, 2026, detailing the results of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 12, 2026. The meeting saw a high turnout, with approximately 86.41% of outstanding shares represented, indicating strong shareholder engagement.

Furthermore, shareholders provided advisory approval for the compensation of named executive officers (Say-on-Pay), demonstrating confidence in the company's executive remuneration strategies. In contrast, a stockholder proposal advocating for an independent board chairman did not receive majority support.

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 29, 2026
Lockheed Martin Corporation's first-quarter 2026 results show a slight increase in total sales to $18.02 billion, up from $17.96 billion in the prior year period, driven by growth in its Missiles and Fire Control and Space segments. However, net earnings saw a decline to $1.49 billion, or $6.44 per diluted share, compared to $1.71 billion, or $7.28 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. This decrease is primarily attributed to a significant unfavorable profit booking rate adjustment of $125 million on a classified Aeronautics program due to production performance and development delays, alongside other program-specific challenges. The company experienced a substantial decrease in cash provided by operating activities, falling to $220 million from $1.41 billion year-over-year, largely due to working capital timing. This led to negative free cash flow of $291 million for the quarter, a significant drop from the $955 million generated in the prior year. While total sales saw modest growth, the decline in profitability and operating cash flow are key concerns for investors. The company continues to navigate a complex global security environment and supply chain challenges, while also facing program-specific issues that impact financial performance.

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2025
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) reported strong performance in 2025, driven by increased demand in the aerospace and defense sector, fueled by recent global conflicts. The company's sales reached $75.0 billion, a 6% increase from the prior year, with operating profit rising to $7.7 billion. This growth was supported by robust demand across all four business segments: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), and Space. The company is strategically expanding production capacity and investing in advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence and autonomy to maintain its competitive edge. While supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures persist industry-wide, Lockheed Martin is actively working with suppliers to mitigate impacts. The company's backlog stood at a healthy $193.6 billion at the end of 2025, providing good visibility into future revenues.

While the 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial figures, it directs investors to the accompanying Exhibit 99.1, which is the official news release containing these results.

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Dec 18, 2025)
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) has executed buy-out conversions of group annuity contracts related to its defined benefit pension plans. This transaction effectively transfers approximately $900 million in gross pension obligations to insurance companies, with no additional funding required from Lockheed Martin. The insurance companies will now directly administer and pay benefits to approximately 9,000 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries. This move aims to de-risk the company's balance sheet by removing these long-term liabilities. While the transfer of obligations is a positive step for reducing future pension-related risks and administrative burdens, investors should be aware of a one-time, non-cash, non-operating pretax settlement charge of approximately $480 million expected in the fourth quarter of 2025. This charge reflects the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses previously held in stockholders' equity. It's important to note that this charge was not factored into the company's previous 2025 financial outlook, suggesting it will be an extraordinary item impacting near-term reported earnings.
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Dec 9, 2025)
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) announced on December 8, 2025, that it has entered into a new 364-Day Revolving Credit Agreement, effective December 5, 2025. This agreement provides the company with a $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility designed to support general corporate purposes, including commercial paper borrowings. The facility offers flexibility with multiple interest rate options, including Base Rate, Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or a competitive bid process, with margins tied to the company's credit ratings. This new credit facility matures on December 4, 2026, with an option to extend borrowings as non-revolving term loans for an additional year. While the agreement contains standard covenants and events of default, the immediate lack of borrowings suggests current liquidity is sufficient, with this facility serving as a proactive measure for financial flexibility and potential future needs. Investors should monitor the utilization of this facility as an indicator of the company's short-term funding strategies.
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP Quarterly Report for Q3 Ended Sep 28, 2025
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) reported its third-quarter 2025 financial results, showcasing a 9% increase in total sales to $18.6 billion compared to the prior year, driven by growth across most segments, particularly Aeronautics and Missiles and Fire Control (MFC). Despite increased sales, net earnings for the quarter remained relatively flat at $1.62 billion, leading to a slight decrease in diluted earnings per share to $6.95 from $6.80 in the prior year's quarter. This was largely influenced by significant program losses recognized in the Aeronautics and Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) segments, impacting profitability. The company continues to manage its strong backlog of $179.1 billion, with approximately 36% expected to convert to revenue in the next 12 months. Lockheed Martin also demonstrated its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through consistent dividend payments and share repurchases, with an increased authorization for future buybacks.

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP 8-K Report, Material Agreement (Aug 29, 2025)
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) has filed an 8-K report detailing an amendment to its existing $3.0 billion Revolving Credit Agreement. This amendment, executed on August 28, 2025, is primarily significant for extending the agreement's maturity date by one year, pushing it from August 24, 2029, to August 24, 2030. This extension provides the company with enhanced financial flexibility and reinforces its access to a substantial credit line for an extended period. Additionally, the amendment removes a 10 basis point credit spread adjustment to Term SOFR borrowings. While seemingly a minor adjustment, it could lead to slightly lower borrowing costs under specific interest rate conditions. For investors, this filing signals proactive treasury management and a continued stable financial footing, reassuring stakeholders about the company's long-term liquidity and operational support.
LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Jul 28, 2025)

LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Jun 29, 2025
Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT) reported a challenging second quarter for 2025, with net earnings declining significantly year-over-year. Sales remained relatively flat for the quarter, but a substantial increase in operating costs and expenses, particularly driven by significant program losses in Aeronautics and RMS, severely impacted profitability. The company incurred substantial reach-forward losses on classified programs in Aeronautics and the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) and Turkish Utility Helicopter Program (TUHP) in RMS, leading to a dramatic decrease in operating profit for these segments and a negative operating margin for Aeronautics. Despite these significant headwinds, the Missiles and Fire Control (MFC) segment showed robust growth in both sales and operating profit, driven by production ramp-ups. The Space segment also demonstrated modest sales growth and improved operating profit. While consolidated sales were stable, the substantial charges related to program issues have materially affected the company's bottom line and diluted earnings per share. Investors should closely monitor the resolution and future impacts of these major program losses, as well as ongoing supply chain and macroeconomic pressures, which continue to influence the company's financial performance.
