Amentum (NYSE: AMTM) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its hardware and product business, Rapid Solutions, to Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) for $360 million in cash. The transaction, which is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions, will advance Amentum’s strategy as a pure-play provider of technology-enabled solutions and accelerates its debt reduction objectives.

“The divestiture of Rapid Solutions sharpens Amentum’s focus on mission critical services and reinforces our position as a global pure-play provider of advanced engineering and technology-enabled solutions.” said Adam Harrison, Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development.

Rapid Solutions is a manufacturer of products aligned to national security missions. The business, which accounts for approximately 1% of Amentum’s annual Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, manufactures ISR, advanced communications, and tactical systems to meet the nation’s most critical security challenges. Approximately 230 employees will transition to Lockheed Martin upon close of the sale.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025 and to generate approximately $325 million in after-tax proceeds. Further information will be provided during Amentum’s Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 earnings conference call on May 7, 2025.
