Lockheed Martin today reported fourth quarter 2015 net sales of $12.9 billion, compared to $12.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2014. Net earnings in the fourth quarter of 2015 were $933 million, or $3.01 per share, compared to $904 million, or $2.82 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2014. Cash from operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 was $1.4 billion, compared to $(201) million of cash used in operations, after pension contributions of $1.0 billion, in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Fourth quarter 2015 net earnings included a special charge for workforce reductions of $67 million, which decreased net earnings $44 million, or $0.14 per share; and non-recoverable transaction costs of $45 million associated with the acquisition of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) and the Corporation’s strategic review of its government IT and technical services businesses, which decreased net earnings $28 million, or $0.09 per share. These costs were offset by the recognition of a full-year U.S. research and development (R&D) tax credit resulting from the enactment of tax legislation in the fourth quarter of 2015, which increased net earnings $71 million, or $0.23 per share. Fourth quarter 2014 net earnings included a special charge for a non-cash goodwill impairment of $119 million, which decreased net earnings $107 million, or $0.33 per share, partially offset by the recognition of a full-year R&D tax credit due to the temporary reinstatement of the R&D tax credit in the fourth quarter of 2014, which increased earnings $45 million, or $0.14 per share.
Net sales in 2015 were $46.1 billion, compared to $45.6 billion in 2014. Net earnings in 2015 were $3.6 billion, or $11.46 per share, compared to $3.6 billion, or $11.21 per share, in 2014.

Net earnings in 2015 included special charges for workforce reductions of $102 million, which decreased net earnings $66 million, or $0.21 per share; and non-recoverable transaction costs of $45 million associated with the acquisition of Sikorsky and the Corporation’s strategic review of its government IT and technical services businesses, which decreased net earnings $28 million, or $0.09 per share. These costs were offset by the recognition of the R&D tax credit, which increased net earnings $71 million, or $0.23 per share. Net earnings in 2014 included a special charge for a non-cash goodwill impairment of $119 million, which decreased net earnings $107 million, or $0.33 per share, partially offset by the recognition of the R&D tax credit, which increased earnings $45 million, or $0.14 per share.
