The company said the conversions require no additional costs or funding contributions from Lockheed Martin.
The company said the insurance companies legally assumed the pension obligations upon completion of the conversions and will begin paying and administering retirement benefits for approximately 9,000 U.S. retirees and beneficiaries. It said there will be no change to the nature, amount or timing of benefit payments.
The company said it expects to recognize a non-cash, non-operating pretax settlement charge of approximately $480 million in Q4 2025 in connection with the transactions. It said the amount reflects the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses for the affected plan that were already included in stockholders' equity.
The company said the estimated settlement charge was not included in its prior 2025 financial outlook released on October 21, 2025. Lockheed Martin also said the charge is a forward-looking statement, and actual amounts may differ, according to the filing. Prior outlook for 2025 excluded it.
