Title: RTX Corporation Q2 2025 Financial Results and Strategic Outlook
RTX Corporation (NYSE: RTX) announced its second quarter 2025 financial results on July 22, 2025, showcasing robust operational performance and strategic progress across its diversified aerospace and defense portfolio. This report provides an authoritative analysis of RTX’s Q2 2025 earnings, contextualizing the financial impact and forward-looking projections based on recent earnings calls and the latest 8-K filing.
RTX delivered adjusted sales of approximately \(19.8 billion in Q2 2025, reflecting a solid organic growth rate of 10% year-over-year. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose by 9% to \)1.41, driven by profit growth and margin expansion across all three business segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon Technologies. Free cash flow remained strong at $2.2 billion, underscoring the company’s robust cash generation capabilities.
The company’s backlog expanded to \(206 billion, with a book-to-bill ratio of 1.25, indicating sustained demand and strong order intake. Notable contract wins included a 10-year maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) agreement supporting Collins Aerospace's content on Air Canada's 787 fleet, a multibillion-dollar award for the U.S. Air Force's next-generation Survivable Airborne Operations Center, and a \)639 million contract for SPY-6 radar production for the U.S. Navy.
RTX’s strategic initiatives remain on track, particularly the GTF (Geared Turbofan) fleet management plan, with over 6,000 powdered metal parts inspected and a fallout rate below 1%, consistent with management’s assumptions. The company also reported significant orders at the Farnborough Airshow, including over 700 GTF engines ordered, with Cebu Pacific and Avolon selecting the GTF engine for up to 312 aircraft combined.
The 8-K filing and recent earnings calls indicate no adverse impact on RTX’s balance sheet or cash flow statements beyond the normal course of business. Long-term debt remains stable, supporting the company’s investment-grade credit profile.
Looking ahead, RTX projects full-year 2025 sales between \(83 billion and \)84 billion, with organic growth of 4% to 6% after accounting for the divestiture of Collins Actuation business. Adjusted EPS guidance reflects continued margin expansion and operational efficiency.
As a leading aerospace and defense manufacturer, RTX faces ongoing challenges from global economic uncertainty, tariff impacts, and government efficiency initiatives. However, the company’s diversified portfolio and strong backlog position it well to navigate these headwinds.
RTX Corporation’s Q2 2025 results demonstrate strong financial health, strategic execution, and market leadership in aerospace and defense. With a robust backlog, significant contract wins, and disciplined operational management, RTX is well-positioned for sustained growth and value creation.
