BETHESDA, Md., July 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Lockheed Martin Corporation [NYSE: LMT] today reported second quarter 2022 net sales of $15.4 billion, compared to $17.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. Net earnings in the second quarter of 2022 were $309 million, or $1.16 per share, compared to $1.8 billion, or $6.52 per share, in the second quarter of 2021. Cash from operations was $1.3 billion in both the second quarter of 2022 and 2021. Free cash flow was $1.0 billion in both the second quarter of 2022 and 2021.

"Lockheed Martin continued to deliver strong and consistent cash generation, returning over $1 billion in cash to shareholders in the second quarter through our industry leading dividend and our ongoing share repurchase program," said Lockheed Martin Chairman, President and CEO James Taiclet. "Although revenue in the period was affected by supply chain impacts and the timing of customer contract negotiations, our cost management initiatives resulted in margin expansion. Moreover, our robust cash generation also continues to provide the resources to invest in building the foundation for future revenue and margin growth opportunities through our classified program capex projects, hypersonics development efforts, and our 21st Century Security and internal Digital Transformation initiatives."

Net earnings for the quarter ended June 26, 2022 included non-operational charges totaling $1.7 billion ($1.4 billion, or $5.16 per share, after-tax). The table below shows the impact to earnings before income taxes, net earnings and diluted earnings per share (EPS) for these items.

F-35 Lots 15-17 Contract Update

The company recently reached an agreement in principle with the U.S. Government on the F-35 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Lots 15-17 production contract and continues to engage with the U.S. Government to definitize the contract. The company has been performing work on the Lots 15-17 production under customer authorization and initial funding to begin work under an advance acquisition contract received in December 2019. The company's costs began to exceed the contract value and available funding on the Lots 15-17 advance acquisition contract in the second quarter of 2022. As a result, this prevented the recognition of approximately $325 million of sales and associated operating profit in the second quarter. Additionally, it prevented the company from invoicing and receiving cash of approximately $465 million for costs incurred in the second quarter of 2022. At the end of the second quarter of 2022, the company also had approximately $1 billion in potential termination liability exposure to third parties related to LRIP Lots 15-17. The company expects to recover the unrecognized sales and resume invoicing costs incurred upon receiving contractual authorization and funding on the production contract with the U.S. Government, which it expects to occur in the third quarter of 2022. However, until a final agreement is reached or the U.S. Government otherwise provides additional contractual authorization and funding, the company's results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition will continue to be negatively impacted and the impacts could be material.

As part of the LRIP Lots 15-17 production contract, the U.S. Government reduced the acquisition quantities based on budget availability. While the company expects the LRIP Lots 15-17 contract to support its long-term objective to produce 156 aircraft a year, COVID-19 and other impacts experienced by the F-35 enterprise have required it to modify its near-term production plan. Deliveries are expected to remain in the range of 147-153 aircraft per year in 2023 and 2024, before the company achieves its 156 aircraft delivery target in 2025. The company continues to anticipate annual deliveries of 156 aircraft beyond 2025 for the foreseeable future.

1	The company's current 2022 financial outlook is premised on receiving contractual authorization and funding on the F-35 Lots 15-17 production contract in the third quarter of 2022 and does not include any future gains or losses related to changes in valuations of the company's net assets held in trust for deferred compensation plans or the Lockheed Martin Ventures Fund's investments and assumes continued accelerated payments to suppliers, with a focus on small and at-risk businesses. In addition, the outlook reflects no significant reduction in customer budgets or changes in priorities, continued support and funding of the company's programs, and a statutory tax rate of 21%. It also includes known impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic based on the company's understanding at the time of this news release and its experience to date. However, the company cannot predict how the pandemic will evolve or what impact it will continue to have. Therefore, no additional impacts to the company's operations or its supply chain as a result of continued disruption from, or policies in response to, COVID-19 for periods subsequent to the time of this news release have been incorporated into the company's current 2022 financial outlook. The ultimate impacts of COVID-19 on the company's financial results for 2022 and beyond remain uncertain and there can be no assurance that the company's underlying assumptions are correct.
2	Business segment operating profit, free cash flow and Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment – adjusted are non-GAAP measures. See the "Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" section of this news release for more information.
3	The Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment - adjusted is presented as a single amount and includes total expected U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS) pension cost of approximately $1.8 billion and total expected financial accounting standards (FAS) pension income of approximately $410 million, excluding the noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion ($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per share, after-tax) recognized in the quarter ended June 26, 2022 related to the purchase of group annuity contracts to transfer approximately $4.3 billion of gross pension obligations and related plan assets to an insurance company. CAS pension cost and the service cost component of FAS pension (expense) income are included in operating profit. The non-service cost components of FAS pension (expense) income are included in non-operating income. For additional detail regarding the pension amounts reported in operating and non-operating results, refer to the supplemental table included at the end of this news release.

 

Cash Flows and Capital Deployment Activities

Cash from operations in the quarter ended June 26, 2022 was $1.3 billion. Capital expenditures were $304 million, resulting in free cash flow of $1.0 billion. The operating and free cash flows for the quarter ended June 26, 2022 were comparable to the same period in 2021.

The company's capital deployment activities in the quarter ended June 26, 2022 included the following:

• paying cash dividends of $744 million; and
• paying $356 million to repurchase 0.9 million shares (excluding 0.6 million shares received upon settlement of an accelerated share repurchase agreement (ASR) in April 2022 for no additional consideration).

On May 5, 2022, the company received net proceeds of $2.3 billion from a debt issuance of senior unsecured notes, consisting of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 3.90% Notes due 2032, $850 million aggregate principal amount of 4.15% Notes due 2053, and $650 million aggregate principal amount of 4.30% Notes due 2062. The company used the net proceeds from this debt offering to redeem all of the outstanding $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.10% Notes due 2023, $750 million in aggregate principal amount of its 2.90% Notes due 2025, and $1.0 billion of its outstanding $2.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 3.55% Notes due 2026. As a result of these transactions, as of June 26, 2022, the company's debt balance remained unchanged. The company incurred a charge of $34 million ($26 million, or $0.10 per share, after-tax) on these transactions.

Segment Results

The company operates in four business segments organized based on the nature of products and services offered: Aeronautics, Missiles and Fire Control (MFC), Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS) and Space. The following table presents summary operating results of the company's business segments and reconciles these amounts to the company's consolidated financial results.

Net sales and operating profit of our business segments exclude intersegment sales, cost of sales, and profit as these activities are eliminated in consolidation and not included in management's evaluation of performance of each segment. Business segment operating profit includes our share of earnings or losses from equity method investees as the operating activities of the equity method investees are closely aligned with the operations of our business segments.

Business segment operating profit excludes the FAS/CAS pension operating adjustment, a portion of corporate costs not considered allowable or allocable to contracts with the U.S. Government under the applicable U.S. Government cost accounting standards (CAS) or federal acquisition regulations (FAR), and other items not considered part of management's evaluation of segment operating performance such as a portion of management and administration costs, legal fees and settlements, environmental costs, stock-based compensation expense, retiree benefits, significant severance actions, significant asset impairments, gains or losses from divestitures, and other miscellaneous corporate activities. Excluded items are included in the reconciling item "Unallocated items" between operating profit from our business segments and our consolidated operating profit.

Changes in net sales and operating profit generally are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in volume refer to increases or decreases in sales or operating profit resulting from varying production activity levels, deliveries or service levels on individual contracts. Volume changes in segment operating profit are typically based on the current profit booking rate for a particular contract. In addition, comparability of the company's segment sales, operating profit and operating margin may be impacted favorably or unfavorably by changes in profit booking rates on the company's contracts. Increases in profit booking rates, typically referred to as favorable profit adjustments, usually relate to revisions in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations that reflect improved conditions on a particular contract. Conversely, conditions on a particular contract may deteriorate, resulting in an increase in the estimated total costs to fulfill the performance obligations and a reduction in the profit booking rate and are typically referred to as unfavorable profit adjustments. Increases or decreases in profit booking rates are recognized in the current period and reflect the inception-to-date effect of such changes. For more information on factors impacting comparability of our segment sales, operating profit and operating margins, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2021 and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

The company's consolidated net adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, represented approximately 27% of total segment operating profit in the quarter ended June 26, 2022, as compared to 22% in the quarter ended June 27, 2021.

Aeronautics' net sales during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $804 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2021. Net sales decreased by approximately $945 million for the F-35 program due to lower volume on production contracts as a result of supply chain performance delays and delays in receiving additional contractual authorization and funding under the Lots 15-17 contract, and about $50 million on the F-16 program due to lower volume on sustainment contracts and an unfavorable profit adjustment on a production contract in the second quarter of 2022 as a result of manufacturing line ramp up delays, partially offset by higher volume on production contracts. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $210 million on classified contracts primarily due to higher volume.

Aeronautics' operating profit during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 increased $40 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2021. Operating profit increased approximately $220 million on classified contracts due to a $225 million loss in the second quarter of 2021 on a classified program; and approximately $40 million for the F-22 program due to higher net favorable profit adjustments. These increases were partially offset by lower operating profit of approximately $145 million for the F-35 program due to lower volume on production contracts as described above; and about $55 million for the F-16 program due to an unfavorable profit adjustment on a production contract in the second quarter of 2022 as described above. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $120 million higher in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

	Operating margin		15.2 %		13.6 %		15.4 %		14.0 %

 

MFC's net sales during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $197 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $155 million for sensors and global sustainment programs primarily due to lower volume on SOF GLSS as a result of troop withdrawals from Afghanistan and lower net favorable profit adjustments due to close out activities in the second quarter of 2021 related to the Warrior Capability Sustainment Program (Warrior); and about $45 million for tactical and strike missile programs due to lower volume (air dominance weapon systems).

MFC's operating profit during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 increased $17 million, or 4%, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating profit of approximately $40 million for tactical and strike missile programs due to higher net favorable profit adjustments (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM), High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), and Hellfire); and about $10 million for integrated air and missile defense programs due to higher net favorable profit adjustments (Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)). These increases were partially offset by a decrease of about $40 million for sensors and global sustainment programs primarily due to lower net favorable profit adjustments as a result of the closeout of the Warrior program in 2021. In addition, operating margin was positively impacted when compared to the second quarter of 2021 due to contract mix (lower SOF GLSS volume and lower development volume at tactical and strike missiles). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments in the second quarter of 2022 were comparable to the same period in 2021.

RMS' net sales during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $230 million, or 5%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $100 million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower production volume (Black Hawk); about $80 million for integrated warfare systems and sensors (IWSS) programs due to lower volume (Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) and Advanced Hawkeye); and approximately $55 million for various C6ISR (command, control, communications, computers, cyber, combat systems, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) programs due to lower volume.

RMS' operating profit during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $55 million, or 12%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $20 million for IWSS programs due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (Aegis and ground-based radar), about $10 million for various C6ISR programs due to lower volume; and approximately $10 million for Sikorsky helicopter programs due to lower production volume (Black Hawk). Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $25 million lower in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

	Operating margin		9.5 %		10.5 %		9.5 %		9.1 %

 

Space's net sales during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $352 million, or 11%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales of approximately $425 million due to the previously announced renationalization of the AWE program on June 30, 2021, which was no longer included in the company's financial results beginning in the third quarter of 2021; and about $55 million for commercial civil space programs due to lower volume (Orion). These decreases were partially offset by higher net sales of about $130 million for strategic and missile defense programs due to higher development volume (Next Generation Interceptor (NGI)).

Space's operating profit during the quarter ended June 26, 2022 decreased $67 million, or 20%, compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily attributable to approximately $55 million for national security space programs primarily due to lower net favorable profit adjustments (primarily Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS) and classified programs); and about $40 million of lower equity earnings from the company's investment in United Launch Alliance (ULA). These decreases were partially offset by an increase of approximately $30 million for strategic and missile defense programs due to higher net favorable profit adjustments (primarily Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) programs). Operating profit for the AWE program was comparable as its operating profit in the second quarter of 2021 was mostly offset by accelerated amortization expense for intangible assets as a result of the renationalization. Adjustments not related to volume, including net profit booking rate adjustments, were $30 million lower in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

Total equity earnings (primarily ULA) represented approximately $5 million, or 2% of Space's operating profit during the quarter ended June 26, 2022, compared to approximately $45 million, or 13% during the quarter ended June 27, 2021.

Income Taxes

The company's effective income tax rate was 6.4% for the quarter ended June 26, 2022 and 16.4% for the quarter ended June 27, 2021. The rate for the second quarter of 2022 is lower primarily due to lower earnings before income taxes resulting from a noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion, which reduced the tax expense by approximately $314 million. The rates for both periods benefited from the research and development tax credit, tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income and dividends paid to the company's defined contribution plans with an employee stock ownership plan feature.

Purchase of Group Annuity Contracts and Pension Remeasurement

As previously announced, on June 24, 2022 the company purchased group annuity contracts to transfer $4.3 billion of gross defined benefit pension obligations and related plan assets to an insurance company for approximately 13,600 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries. The group annuity contracts were purchased using assets from Lockheed Martin's master retirement trust and no additional funding contribution was required. This transaction had no impact on the amount, timing, or form of the monthly retirement benefit payments to the affected retirees and beneficiaries. In connection with this transaction, the company recognized a noncash, non-operating settlement charge of $1.5 billion ($1.2 billion, or $4.33 per share, after-tax) for the affected plans in the quarter ended June 26, 2022, which represents the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses that were included in the accumulated other comprehensive loss account within stockholders' equity. As a result of this transaction, the company was required to remeasure the benefit obligations and plan assets for the affected defined benefit pension plans in the quarter ended June 26, 2022. We now expect FAS pension expense of approximately $1.1 billion in 2022, inclusive of the noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion (pre-tax) described above. Excluding the noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge, our expected FAS pension income will be approximately $410 million in 2022, which is $50 million lower than our prior 2022 FAS pension income estimate of $460 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains the following non-generally accepted accounting principles (non-GAAP) financial measures (as defined by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Regulation G). While management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures may be useful in evaluating the financial performance of the company, this information should be considered supplemental to, and not a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, the company's definitions for non-GAAP financial measures may differ from similarly titled measures used by other companies or analysts.

Business segment operating profit

Business segment operating profit represents operating profit from the company's business segments before unallocated income and expense. This measure is used by the company's senior management in evaluating the performance of its business segments and is a performance goal in the company's annual incentive plan. Business segment operating margin is calculated by dividing business segment operating profit by sales. The table below reconciles the non-GAAP measure business segment operating profit with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, consolidated operating profit.

	(in millions)		Current Update		April 2022
	Business segment operating profit (non-GAAP)		~$7,175		~$7,175
	FAS/CAS operating adjustment1		~1,710		~1,705
	Other, net		~(525)		~(500)
	Consolidated operating profit (GAAP)		~$8,360		~$8,380
1	Reflects the amount by which expected total CAS pension cost of $1.8 billion, exceeds the expected FAS pension service cost and excludes expected non-service FAS pension (expense) income. Refer to the supplemental table "Selected Financial Data" included in this news release for a detail of the FAS/CAS operating adjustment.

Free cash flow

Free cash flow is cash from operations less capital expenditures. The company's capital expenditures are comprised of equipment and facilities infrastructure and information technology (inclusive of costs for the development or purchase of internal-use software that are capitalized). The company uses free cash flow to evaluate its business performance and overall liquidity and is a performance goal in the company's annual and long-term incentive plans. The company believes free cash flow is a useful measure for investors because it represents the amount of cash generated from operations after reinvesting in the business and that may be available to return to stockholders and creditors (through dividends, stock repurchase and debt repayments) or available to fund acquisitions. The entire free cash flow amount is not necessarily available for discretionary expenditures, however, because it does not account for certain mandatory expenditures, such as the repayment of maturing debt.

Adjusted earnings before income taxes; adjusted net earnings and adjusted diluted EPS

Earnings before income taxes, net earnings and diluted earnings per share (EPS) were significantly impacted by certain non-operational charges in the second quarter of 2022. Management believes the presentation of these measures adjusted for the impacts of these non-operational items is useful to investor in understanding the company's underlying business performance and comparing performance from period to period. The tax effects related to each adjustment that impacted earnings before income taxes are based on a blended tax rate that combines the federal statutory rate of 21% plus an estimated state tax rate.

Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment – adjusted; Total FAS pension income - adjusted

Net FAS/CAS pension adjustment and Total FAS pension (expense) income have been adjusted for the second quarter 2022 noncash, non-operating pension settlement charge of $1.5 billion. Management believes that the exclusion of the pension settlement charge is useful to understanding the company's underlying business performance and comparing performance from period to period.
