RTX Corporation reported significant financial performance for the third quarter of 2025, with total net sales reaching $22.5 billion, a 11.9% increase from $20.1 billion in the same quarter of 2024. The company's net income attributable to common shareholders was $1.9 billion, or $1.41 per diluted share, compared to $1.5 billion, or $1.09 per diluted share, in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, total net sales were $64.4 billion, up from $59.1 billion, while net income increased to $5.1 billion from $3.3 billion in the same period last year.
The company experienced organic growth in net sales of $2.6 billion for the quarter and $5.9 billion for the nine months, primarily driven by higher sales in the Pratt & Whitney, Collins, and Raytheon segments. Notably, Pratt & Whitney's sales increased by $1.2 billion in the quarter, attributed to higher commercial aftermarket and military sales. The increase in net sales was partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 billion due to divestitures, including the sale of the actuation and flight control business within the Collins segment.
Operationally, RTX's total backlog rose to $251 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $218 billion at the end of 2024, reflecting strong demand across its defense and commercial aerospace sectors. The company reported a total of $23 billion in defense bookings for the quarter, slightly down from $25 billion in the same quarter of the previous year. The increase in backlog was driven by significant contracts in various defense programs, including missile systems and naval power programs.
In terms of strategic developments, RTX completed the sale of its actuation and flight control business for $1.8 billion in July 2025, which contributed to a pre-tax gain of $0.1 billion. The company also reported a decrease in research and development expenses, totaling $684 million for the quarter, down from $751 million in the prior year, primarily due to lower spending on commercial programs at Collins. The company continues to focus on operational efficiency and cost reduction initiatives, which have contributed to improved profitability margins across its segments.
Looking ahead, RTX anticipates continued growth driven by strong demand in both defense and commercial aerospace markets. The company remains focused on managing its supply chain challenges and navigating the impacts of inflation and geopolitical factors. RTX's leadership expressed confidence in the company's ability to leverage its diverse portfolio and strategic initiatives to sustain growth and enhance shareholder value in the coming quarters.
