Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Textron eAviation segments. The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance. To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined.

Contract Estimates

For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, we recognize changes in estimated contract revenues, costs and profits using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes the cumulative effect of changes on current and prior periods with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which the losses become probable and estimable.

In the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $10 million and $18 million, respectively, and net income by $7 million and $14 million, respectively ($0.04 and $0.07 per diluted share, respectively). In the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $41 million and $36 million, respectively, and net income by $31 million and $28 million, respectively ($0.16 and $0.14 per diluted share, respectively).

Finance receivables	$	614	$	609
Allowance for credit losses	(19)		(24)
Total finance receivables, net	$	595	$	585

Finance Receivable Portfolio Quality

We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to estimated collateral value and the financial strength of individual borrowers and guarantors. Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual.

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. Accounts are classified as watchlist when credit quality indicators have deteriorated as compared with typical underwriting criteria, and we believe collection of full principal and interest is probable but not certain. All other finance receivables that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing.

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our finance receivables. In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due. If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category.

Finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators and by the delinquency aging category are summarized as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	September 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
Performing	$	603	$	571
Watchlist	—		23
Nonaccrual	11		15
Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables	1.79%		2.46%
Current and less than 31 days past due	$	606	$	589
31-60 days past due	8		16
61-90 days past due	—		—
Over 90 days past due	—		4
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables	—%		0.66%

At September 28, 2024, 40% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2022 and 29% were originated from 2019 to 2021 with the remainder prior to 2019. For finance receivables categorized as nonaccrual, 100% were originated prior to 2021.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual larger balance accounts for impairment. A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement based on our review of the credit quality indicators described above. Impaired finance receivables include both nonaccrual accounts and accounts for which full collection of principal and interest remains probable, but the account’s original terms have been, or are expected to be, significantly modified. If the modification specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than a market rate for a finance receivable with comparable risk, the account is not considered impaired in years subsequent to the modification.

Note 4. Accounts Payable and Warranty Liability

Accounts Payable

Supplier Financing Arrangement

We have a financing arrangement with one of our suppliers that extends payment terms for up to 190 days from the receipt of goods and provides for the supplier to be paid by a financial institution earlier than maturity. In June 2024, the maximum amount available under the financing arrangement was increased by $25 million to $200 million. This financing arrangement expires in April 2027. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the amount due under the supplier financing arrangement was $104 million and $125 million, respectively.

Note 5. Leases

We primarily lease certain manufacturing plants, offices, warehouses, training and service centers at various locations worldwide that are classified as either operating or finance leases. Our leases have remaining lease terms up to 24 years, which include options to extend the lease term for periods up to 20 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised.

Operating lease expense totaled $19 million and $18 million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $55 million and $52 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Cash paid for operating leases approximated the lease expense and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transactions related to operating leases totaled $36 million and $32 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting new or extended leases. In the first nine months of 2024, non-cash transactions included the recognition of a $72 million asset and liability related to a new finance lease that matures in 2028. Finance lease, variable and short-term lease costs were not significant.

Balance sheet and other information related to our leases is as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	September 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
Operating leases:
Other assets	$	365	$	371
Other current liabilities	58		55
Other liabilities	318		326
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)	9.8		10.3
Weighted-average discount rate	4.78%		4.70%
Finance leases:
Property, plant and equipment, less accumulated amortization of $8 million and $8 million, respectively	$	89	$	20

Long-term debt, including current portion	90		23
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)	5.1		14.9
Weighted-average discount rate	6.45%		4.55%

At September 28, 2024, maturities of our operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis totaled $20 million for the remainder of 2024, $69 million for 2025, $55 million for 2026, $46 million for 2027, $44 million for 2028 and $246 million thereafter.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability into a three-tier fair value hierarchy. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions. Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2. Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost effective to obtain.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily utilize foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of no more than three years to manage this volatility. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses. Net gains and losses recognized in earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on cash flow hedges, including gains and losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not significant in the periods presented.

Table of Contents

Our foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $604 million and $478 million, respectively. At September 28, 2024, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $6 million asset and a $4 million liability. At December 30, 2023, the fair value amount of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $4 million asset and a $3 million liability.

Our Finance group enters into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. By using these contracts, we are able to convert floating-rate cash flows to fixed-rate cash flows. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is determined using values published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These values are observable data that represent the value that financial institutions use for contracts entered into at that date, but are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2. The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap agreements was a $1 million asset at September 28, 2024 and a $4 million asset at December 30, 2023.

At September 28, 2024, we had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $264 million that effectively converts the variable-rate interest for these Notes to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.20%. These agreements have maturities ranging from August 2025 to August 2029. In the third quarter of 2024, we also entered into a new swap agreement related to these Notes with a notional amount of $30 million and a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.10%; this agreement has a forward start date of August 15, 2025 and matures on August 15, 2030. At December 30, 2023, interest rate swap agreements related to these Notes had an aggregate notional amount of $185 million with a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.17%. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million that matures in June 2025 and effectively converts variable-rate interest on a term loan to a fixed rate of 4.13%.

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not reflected in the financial statements at fair value are as follows:


	September 28, 2024				December 30, 2023
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
(In millions)	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Manufacturing group
Debt, excluding leases	$	(3,166)	$	(3,063)	$	(3,520)	$	(3,342)
Finance group
Finance receivables, excluding leases	433		453		417		423
Debt	(341)		(311)		(348)		(293)

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2). The fair value for the Finance group debt was determined primarily based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations (Level 2). Fair value estimates for finance receivables were determined based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which include estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and expectations of borrowers’ ability to make payments on a timely basis.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period. Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Diluted EPS considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, including stock options.

The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows:


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 28, 2024	September 30, 2023	September 28, 2024	September 30, 2023
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	186,958	197,947	189,834	201,161
Dilutive effect of stock options	1,986	2,045	2,052	2,009
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	188,944	199,992	191,886	203,170

Stock options to purchase shares of common stock that were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive totaled 1.0 million shares for both the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, and 1.0 million and 1.7 million shares for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our remaining performance obligations, which is the equivalent of our backlog, represent the expected transaction price allocated to our contracts that we expect to recognize as revenues in future periods when we perform under the contracts. These remaining obligations exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts such as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts. At September 28, 2024, we had $16.0 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 64% through 2025, an additional 34% through 2027, and the balance thereafter.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities related to our contracts with customers are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, contract assets totaled $376 million and $513 million, respectively, and contract liabilities totaled $1.8 billion for both dates, reflecting timing differences between revenues recognized, billings and payments from customers. We recognized revenues of $252 million and $70 million in the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $912 million and $766 million in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year.

Note 11. Special Charges

On April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of Textron’s 2023 restructuring plan to further reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions. In the first quarter of 2024, both the Shadow and Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft programs were cancelled at the Textron Systems and Bell segments, resulting in additional severance costs under the restructuring plan. Additionally, we increased our planned headcount reduction within the Industrial segment due to lower anticipated consumer demand for certain products at the Specialized Vehicles product line and reduced demand for fuel systems from European automotive manufacturers at Kautex.

In connection with this plan, special charges for the third quarter and first nine months of 2024 included a reversal of $2 million and charges of $25 million, respectively, primarily related to headcount reductions at the Industrial, Textron Systems and Bell segments. In the third quarter of 2024, we recorded a $6 million reversal of accrued severance and related benefit costs due to a change in estimate as a result of retaining and re-assigning certain employees at Bell and due to customer contract termination cost reimbursements at Textron Systems. In the first nine months of 2024, special charges included $23 million in severance costs and $2 million in asset impairment charges; we recorded $19 million of these charges at the Industrial segment, $5 million at the Textron Systems segment and $1 million at the Bell segment. We expect to incur additional special charges in the fourth quarter of 2024 in the range of approximately $15 million to $20 million, largely related to headcount reductions at the Industrial segment.

Since inception of the 2023 restructuring plan, we have incurred $151 million in special charges, including severance costs of $62 million, which included $38 million at the Industrial segment, $14 million at the Bell segment and $10 million at the Textron Systems segment; and asset impairment charges of $89 million at the Industrial segment.

Headcount reductions since inception of the plan are expected to total approximately 1,500 positions, representing 4% of our global workforce. We estimate that remaining future cash outlays under this plan will be in the range of $45 million to $50 million, most of which we expect to pay by the first quarter of 2025. We expect charges under this plan to be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

Our restructuring reserve activity is summarized below:

Note 12. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 11.5% and 10.6%, respectively. In the third quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and foreign tax credits. In the third quarter of 2023, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.

Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 was 15.8% and 15.6%, respectively, and was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to actual and threatened legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims relating to commercial and financial transactions; government contracts; alleged lack of compliance with applicable laws and regulations; disputes with suppliers, production partners or other third parties; product liability; patent and trademark infringement; employment disputes; and environmental, health and safety matters. Some of these legal proceedings and claims seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. As a government contractor, we are subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

•Higher Bell revenues of $175 million, largely due to higher military volume of $81 million, primarily related to the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program that was partially offset by lower volume on the V-22 program, and higher commercial volume and mix of $67 million.

•Textron Aviation revenues were essentially unchanged as higher pricing of $36 million was mostly offset by lower volume and mix of $35 million.

•Lower Industrial revenues of $82 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $86 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line.

•Lower Textron Systems revenues of $8 million, primarily due to lower volume.

Revenues increased $298 million, 3%, in the first nine months of 2024, compared with the first nine months of 2023. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:

•Higher Bell revenues of $374 million, largely due to higher military volume of $280 million, primarily related to the FLRAA program, partially offset by lower volume on the V-22 program.

•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $153 million, reflecting higher pricing of $141 million and higher volume and mix of $12 million.

•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $9 million, primarily due to pricing.

•Lower Industrial revenues of $234 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $256 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales includes cost of products and services sold for the Manufacturing group. Cost of sales increased $156 million, 6%, and $332 million, 4% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023. The increase in both periods included the impact from higher net volume and mix of $91 million and $195 million, respectively, and inflation of $57 million and $173 million, respectively. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 240 basis points in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to lower margins at the Textron Aviation segment, at the Industrial segment, largely in the Specialized Vehicles product line, and at the Bell segment. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 80 basis points in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to lower margins at the Industrial segment, largely in the Specialized Vehicles product line, and at the Bell segment.

Selling and administrative expense decreased $21 million, 7%, and $6 million, 1%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023, respectively. The decrease in the third quarter of 2024 includes lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $17 million recovery of credit losses in the third quarter of 2023 at the Finance segment.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, net includes interest expense for both the Finance and Manufacturing borrowing groups, with interest on intercompany borrowings eliminated, and interest income earned on cash and equivalents for the Manufacturing borrowing group.

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, interest expense, net increased $7 million, 37%, and $13 million, 22%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023, primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average interest rate of our debt. Gross interest expense totaled $36 million and $110 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, and $32 million and $95 million, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively.

Special Charges

Special charges include restructuring activities and asset impairment charges as described in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Backlog

Our backlog is summarized below:


(In millions)	September 28, 2024		December 30, 2023
Textron Aviation	$	7,626	$	7,169
Bell	6,500		4,780
Textron Systems	1,867		1,950
Total backlog	$	15,993	$	13,899

Bell's backlog increased $1.7 billion, 36%, due to orders in excess of revenues recognized and deliveries. In August 2024, the U.S. Army announced the approval of Milestone B for the FLRAA program, establishing it as a program of record and transitioning it to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase. As a result, in the third quarter, Bell was awarded a $2.5 billion contract for this phase of the program.

Segment Analysis

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, inflation and performance. For revenues, volume and mix represents changes in revenues from increases or decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold. For segment profit, volume and mix represents a change due to the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins. Pricing represents changes in unit pricing. Foreign exchange is the change resulting from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are different from the prior period. Revenues generated by acquired businesses are reflected in Acquisitions for a twelve-month period, while reductions in revenues and segment profit from the sale of businesses are reflected as Dispositions. Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension service cost or other costs. Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Table of Contents

Approximately 21% of our 2023 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program. For our segments that contract with the U.S. Government, changes in revenues related to these contracts are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in segment profit for these contracts are typically expressed in terms of volume and mix and performance; these include cumulative catch-up adjustments associated with a) revisions to the transaction price that may reflect contract modifications or changes in assumptions related to award fees and other variable consideration or b) changes in the total estimated costs at completion due to improved or deteriorated operating performance.

On September 21, 2024, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 70, Local Lodge 774 called a strike against Textron Aviation and rejected a new proposed four-year contract. The strike impacted approximately 5,000 of Textron Aviation’s employees at the manufacturing, parts and distribution and service center facilities in Wichita. On October 20, 2024, Textron Aviation and the IAM reached an agreement and a new five-year labor contract was ratified.

While Textron Aviation had implemented its continuity of operations plans to help mitigate the impact of the labor disruption, the strike has had, and continues to have, an adverse impact on Textron Aviation’s ability to meet its production and delivery schedules. In the third quarter of 2024, delayed aircraft deliveries along with unfavorable performance from manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the labor disruption resulting from the strike lowered revenues by approximately $50 million and segment profit by approximately $30 million. We expect revenue and segment profit to be unfavorably impacted in the fourth quarter of 2024 related to the labor disruption and the recovery of production and delivery activities as our employees return to work.

Textron Aviation Revenues and Operating Expenses

The following factors contributed to the change in Textron Aviation’s revenues for the periods:


(In millions)	Q3 2024 versus Q3 2023		YTD 2024 versus YTD 2023
Pricing	$	36	$	141
Volume and mix	(35)		12
Total change	$	1	$	153

Textron Aviation’s revenues were essentially unchanged in the third quarter of 2024, compared with the third quarter of 2023, as higher pricing of $36 million was mostly offset by lower volume and mix of $35 million. The lower volume and mix was primarily due to lower commercial turboprop volume, partially offset by higher aftermarket, defense and Citation jet volume. We delivered 41 Citation jets and 25 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2024, compared with 39 Citation jets and 38 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2023.

Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $153 million, 4%, in the first nine months of 2024, compared with the first nine months of 2023, reflecting higher pricing of $141 million and higher volume and mix of $12 million. The increase in volume and mix includes higher aftermarket volume and a favorable mix of Citation jets, partially offset by lower defense and commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 119 Citation jets and 89 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2024, compared with 118 Citation jets and 109 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2023.

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses increased $33 million, 3%, and $143 million, 4% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023, largely due to inflation of $36 million and $105 million, respectively. The increase in the third quarter of 2024 was partially offset by the lower volume and mix described above.

Bell’s military aircraft and support programs include a development contract for the U.S. Army's FLRAA program, as well as production, upgrade, and support contracts for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and H-1 helicopters. The FLRAA program has begun to represent an increasing portion of Bell’s revenues as development activities have ramped. We continue to receive production, upgrade and support orders for the V-22 and H-1 programs, however, these programs are expected to represent a lower portion of Bell’s military revenue in the future.

Finance segment revenues decreased $1 million and $4 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023.

Segment profit decreased $17 million and $12 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023, primarily due to a $17 million recovery of credit losses in the third quarter of 2023. For the first nine months of 2024, this decrease was partially offset by an $8 million recovery of credit losses in the first quarter of 2024.

Table of Contents

The following table reflects information about the Finance segment’s credit performance related to finance receivables.


(Dollars in millions)	September 28, 2024		December 30, 2023

We believe our allowance for credit losses adequately covers our exposure on these loans as our estimated collateral values largely exceed the outstanding loan amounts. Key portfolio quality indicators are discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:


(Dollars in millions)	September 28, 2024		December 30, 2023

Debt to capital	32%		34%
Finance group
Cash and equivalents	$	58	$	60
Debt	341		348

We believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage. We expect to have sufficient cash to meet our needs based on our existing cash balances, the cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations and the availability of our existing credit facility.

Credit Facilities and Other Sources of Capital

Textron has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. We may elect to increase the aggregate amount of commitments under the facility to up to $1.3 billion by designating an additional lender or by an existing lender agreeing to increase its commitment. The facility expires in October 2027 and provides for two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. At September 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were $9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.

We also maintain an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public debt and other securities. On March 1, 2024, we repaid our $350 million 4.30% Notes due March 2024.

Operating activities	$	561	$	737
Investing activities	(194)		(182)
Financing activities	(1,199)		(841)

In the first nine months of 2024, cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations decreased by $176 million to $561 million, compared with $737 million in the first nine months of 2023, largely due to changes in working capital, partially offset by $69 million in lower net tax payments.

Due to the employee strike at the Textron Aviation segment, as discussed on page 22 in the Segment Analysis section, our cash flows from operating activities were adversely impacted by lower deliveries in the third quarter. We expect that operating cash flow will continue to be unfavorably impacted related to the labor disruption and the recovery of production and delivery activities as our employees return to work.

Cash flows used in investing activities included $211 million and $224 million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, respectively, partially offset by $27 million and $39 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, respectively.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2024 included $890 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 10.1 million shares of our common stock and $360 million of payments on long-term debt. In the first nine months of 2023, cash flows used in financing activities included $885 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of our common stock.

Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions

The Finance group provides financing primarily to purchasers of new and pre-owned Textron Aviation aircraft and Bell helicopters manufactured by our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers is reflected as operating activities when received from third parties. However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based on the operations of each group. For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows. Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow. Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing. These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are reclassified or eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Reclassification adjustments included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:


	Nine Months Ended

Critical Accounting Estimates Update

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The accounting estimates that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are reported in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.

Revenue Recognition

A substantial portion of our revenues is related to long-term contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program, for the design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products as well as related services. We generally use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under this measure, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, and revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

Changes in our estimate of the total expected cost or in the transaction price for a contract typically impact our profit booking rate. We utilize the cumulative catch-up method of accounting to recognize the impact of these changes on our profit booking rate for a contract. Under this method, the inception-to-date impact of a profit adjustment on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. The impact of our cumulative catch-up adjustments on segment profit recognized in prior periods is presented below:


	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
(In millions)	September 28, 2024		September 30, 2023		September 28, 2024		September 30, 2023

These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

•Our Finance segment’s ability to maintain portfolio credit quality or to realize full value of receivables;

•Performance issues with key suppliers or subcontractors;

•Legislative or regulatory actions, both domestic and foreign, impacting our operations or demand for our products;

•Our ability to control costs and successfully implement various cost-reduction activities;

•The efficacy of research and development investments to develop new products or unanticipated expenses in connection with the launching of significant new products or programs;

•The timing of our new product launches or certifications of our new aircraft products;

•Our ability to keep pace with our competitors in the introduction of new products and upgrades with features and technologies desired by our customers;

•Pension plan assumptions and future contributions;

•Cybersecurity threats, including the potential misappropriation of assets or sensitive information, corruption of data or operational disruption;

•Difficulty or unanticipated expenses in connection with integrating acquired businesses;

•The risk that acquisitions do not perform as planned, including, for example, the risk that acquired businesses will not achieve revenue and profit projections;

•The impact of changes in tax legislation;

•The risk of disruptions to our business and the business of our suppliers, customers and other business partners due to unexpected events, such as pandemics, natural disasters, acts of war, strikes, terrorism, social unrest or other societal or political conditions; and

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Textron eAviation segments. The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance. To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group. Use of Estimates We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined. Contract Estimates For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, we recognize changes in estimated contract revenues, costs and profits using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes the cumulative effect of changes on current and prior periods with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which the losses become probable and estimable. In the third quarter of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $10 million and $18 million, respectively, and net income by $7 million and $14 million, respectively ($0.04 and $0.07 per diluted share, respectively). In the first nine months of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $41 million and $36 million, respectively, and net income by $31 million and $28 million, respectively ($0.16 and $0.14 per diluted share, respectively).

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Our effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 11.5% and 10.6%, respectively. In the third quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and foreign tax credits. In the third quarter of 2023, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 and 2023 was 15.8% and 15.6%, respectively, and was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.
