Profits increased to nearly $1.8 billion in the third quarter, about triple the $614 million recorded a year earlier. Last year, pandemic-related supply chain woes dealt a significant blow to Lockheed\u2019s aeronautics, space and missiles and fire control sectors, dragging down profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Year to date, the company\u2019s sales are down almost 5%, from $49.3 billion in the first nine months of 2021 to nearly $47 billion in the same period in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chief Financial Officer Jay Malave said on Tuesday\u2019s call the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and supply chain shortages \u201cwill be more gradual than previously expected,\u201d and drive flat sales in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malave said Lockheed\u2019s aeronautics sector\u2019s sales will likely be down slightly next year, due to lower production volume on the F-35. Deliveries of the fighter next year will likely be flat, he said, but that will be because the company recorded sales in advance with long-lead procurements. He expects that to lessen in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019ll be a period of catch-up on sales for aero,\u201d Malave said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Malave said the company\u2019s work on classified programs will be a bright spot for Lockheed Martin in 2023. Taiclet also said both classified programs and programs of record will \u201cramp up from 2023 to 2024 meaningfully,\u201d and account for the bulk of 2024\u2032s projected growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As more F-35 fighters are delivered and flying regularly around the world, he said, that will mean more sustainment work for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as the pandemic\u2019s effects and supply chain troubles wane in 2024, Taiclet said, a steady production rate of 156 F-35s per year \u2014 roughly 80 for the U.S. and 75 for international customers \u2014 will be achievable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Malave also said production of F-16 fighters, which Lockheed Martin is now building for foreign customers, is also expected to accelerate in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Taiclet said Lockheed is \u201cfar down the road\u201d on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/unmanned\/2022\/07\/17\/lockheed-working-on-expendable-advanced-drones-to-team-up-with-us-air-force-fighters\/\" target=\"_blank\">developing autonomous drone wingmen<\/a> the Air Force wants to team with piloted fighters. He said the systems need more testing, but the company should have \u201chit a couple of milestones\u201d on the program by the next earnings call in January. Taiclet said the company will be able to share more details on its status then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted Lockheed is making progress on increasing production of High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, or HIMARS. The United States in recent months has shipped 16 HIMARS units to Ukraine, which it has used in its fight against Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lockheed advanced the funding for $65 million in parts it would need to build more HIMARS, before it had a government contract for more, so it could be ready to build them quickly, Taiclet said. He said the company wants to build 96 HIMARS per year, and those long-lead time parts are now being manufactured.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Company teased the release of
