| Operating income | $4.5 billion | $4.4 billion | $2.5 billion | $3.6 billion |
| Operating margin | 10.8% | 10.6% | 6.5% | 9.8% |
| Net income | $4.2 billion | $4.2 billion | $2.1 billion | $4.9 billion |
| Net margin | 10.0% | 10.2% | 5.2% | 13.4% |
| Operating cash flow | $4.8 billion | $4.4 billion | $3.9 billion | $2.9 billion |
| Capital expenditures | $1.4 billion | $1.8 billion | $1.8 billion | $1.4 billion |
| Free cash flow | $3.3 billion | $2.6 billion | $2.1 billion | $1.5 billion |

Operating margin held roughly steady between fiscal 2024 and 2025, which separates pricing and cost discipline from revenue growth alone. Free cash flow (operating cash flow minus capital expenditures) was $3.3 billion against net income of $4.2 billion; cash generation fell short of reported earnings, which is worth reconciling in the cash flow statement.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Northrop Grumman reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001133421-26-000003 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
