Consolidated Results of Operations

During the first half of 2022, all of our manufacturing segments were impacted by labor shortages and ongoing global supply chain shortages and delays resulting from the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. While our businesses are managing through these challenges, in some cases they have caused, and we expect will continue to cause, some manufacturing inefficiencies and delays in delivery of certain of our products to customers.

An analysis of our consolidated operating results is set forth below. A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 20 to 25.

Revenues

Revenues decreased $37 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021. The revenue decrease primarily included the following factors:

• Lower Bell revenues of $204 million, largely due to lower military revenues of $170 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand, and lower commercial revenues of $34 million.

• Lower Textron Systems revenues of $40 million, largely due to lower volume of $44 million, which included a $39 million decrease from our Afghanistan fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.

• Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $123 million, reflecting higher volume and mix of $79 million and higher pricing of $44 million.

• Higher Industrial revenues of $77 million, due to favorable impact from pricing of $64 million and higher volume and mix of $37 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by $24 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Revenues increased $85 million in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:

• Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $298 million, reflecting higher volume and mix of $221 million and higher pricing of $77 million.

• Higher Industrial revenues of $90 million, largely due to favorable impact from pricing of $110 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by $33 million from exchange rate fluctuations.

• Lower Bell revenues of $216 million, largely due to lower military revenues of $150 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand, and lower commercial revenues of $66 million.

• Lower Textron Systems revenues of $95 million, largely due to lower volume of $103 million, which included a $78 million decrease from our Afghanistan fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales decreased $19 million in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, largely due to lower net volume and mix described above, partially offset by inflation of $108 million, principally reflecting higher material cost in the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 40 basis points in the second quarter of 2022 as higher margin at the Textron Aviation segment, reflecting higher volume and mix, was more than offset by lower margin at the other Manufacturing segments, primarily at the Bell Segment, reflecting lower volume and mix.

Cost of sales increased $73 million in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, largely due to inflation of $181 million, principally reflecting higher material cost in the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments, partially offset by lower net volume and mix. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 10 basis points in the first half of 2022 as higher margin at the Textron Aviation segment, reflecting higher volume and mix, was offset by lower margin at the other Manufacturing segments.

Selling and administrative expense decreased $36 million, 11%, and $29 million, 5%, in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2021, primarily reflecting lower share-based compensation expense.

Non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net

In the second quarter of 2022, non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net increased by $21 million, 54%, to $60 million. In the first half of 2022, non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net increased by $42 million, 53%, to $121 million. The increase in both periods was primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate utilized for our domestic qualified pension plans and actual pension asset returns that exceeded our expected return on plan assets assumption.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2022 was 17.1% and 17.0%, respectively. In the second quarter and first half of 2022, 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.

Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2021 was 15.6% and 13.0%, respectively. In the second quarter and first half of 2021, 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. In the first half of 2021, the effective tax rate also included a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research and development credits related to prior years.

Backlog

Our backlog is summarized below:

Textron Aviation's backlog increased $1.7 billion, 42%, in the first half of 2022, reflecting orders in excess of deliveries. Backlog at Bell increased $1.4 billion, 36%, largely due to new orders in excess of deliveries and revenues recognized. Bell was awarded a $1.4 billion 5-year contract with the U.S. Government for spares and logistic support for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft in the first quarter of 2022.

Segment Analysis

Through the first quarter of 2022, we operated in, and reported financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we formed a new reporting segment within the Manufacturing group, Textron eAviation. This new segment includes the operating results of Pipistrel, a manufacturer of electrically powered aircraft that we acquired on April 15, 2022, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, along with other research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions.

Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, gains/losses on major business dispositions and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. Operating expenses for the Manufacturing segments include cost of sales, selling and administrative expense and other non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(income), and exclude certain corporate expenses and special charges.

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, non-service pension cost/(income), product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 26% of our 2021 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.

Textron Aviation

The higher aftermarket volume reflected increased aircraft utilization. We delivered 87 Citation jets and 66 commercial turboprops in the first half of 2022, compared with 72 Citation jets and 47 commercial turboprops in the first half of 2021.

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses increased $64 million, 6%, and $165 million, 9%, in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2021, largely due to higher volume and mix described above and inflation of $29 million and $46 million, respectively.

Textron Aviation Segment Profit

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

Segment profit at Textron Aviation increased $59 million, 61%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, largely due to the impact from higher volume and mix of $25 million described above, a favorable impact from performance of $19 million and favorable pricing, net of inflation of $15 million.

Segment profit at Textron Aviation increased $133 million, 93%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, largely due to the impact from higher volume and mix described above, favorable pricing, net of inflation of $31 million and a favorable impact from performance of $22 million.

Bell

Bell’s major U.S. Government programs at this time are the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and the H-1 helicopter platforms, which are both in the production and support stage and represent a significant portion of Bell’s revenues from the U.S. Government. Over the next several years, the H-1 helicopter program with the U.S. Government will be transitioning from the production stage to the support stage.

Bell Revenues and Operating Expenses

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

Bell’s revenues decreased $204 million, 23%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, largely due to lower military revenues of $170 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand. Commercial revenues decreased $34 million, primarily due to lower volume and mix. We delivered 34 commercial helicopters in the second quarter of 2022, compared with 47 commercial helicopters in the second quarter of 2021.

Bell’s revenues decreased $216 million, 12%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, largely due to lower military revenues of $150 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand. Commercial revenues decreased $66 million, primarily due to lower volume and mix. We delivered 59 commercial helicopters in the first half of 2022, compared with 64 commercial helicopters in the first half of 2021.

Bell’s operating expenses decreased $157 million, 20%, and $162 million, 11% in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2021, primarily due to lower volume and mix described above.

Bell Segment Profit

The following factors contributed to the change in Bell’s segment profit for the periods:

Bell’s segment profit decreased $47 million, 43%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting lower volume and mix as described above, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance of $16 million. Performance included lower research and development costs, pension costs and selling and administrative expense of $26 million, partially offset by an unfavorable change in net program adjustments.

Bell’s segment profit decreased $54 million, 25%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, primarily reflecting lower volume and mix described above, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance of $22 million.

Textron Systems

Textron Systems Revenues and Operating Expenses

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

Textron Systems' revenues decreased $40 million, 12%, and $95 million, 14%, in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2021. Lower volume of $44 million and $103 million, respectively, included a decrease of $39 million and $78 million, respectively, from our Afghanistan fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts, primarily reflecting the impact from the U.S. Army’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Textron Systems’ operating expenses decreased $34 million, 12%, and $71 million, 13% in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2021, primarily related to lower net volume described above.

Textron Systems Segment Profit

The following factors contributed to the change in Textron Systems’ segment profit for the periods:

Textron Systems’ segment profit decreased $6 million, 13%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $4 million described above.

Textron Systems’ segment profit decreased $24 million, 24%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, due to lower volume and mix of $15 million described above and an unfavorable impact from performance and other of $9 million.

Industrial

Industrial Revenues and Operating Expenses

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

Industrial segment revenues increased $77 million, 10%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to a $64 million favorable impact from pricing and $37 million from higher volume and mix, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by $24 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro.

Industrial segment revenues increased $90 million, 6%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, primarily due to a $110 million favorable impact from pricing, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by $33 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, primarily related to the Euro. Higher volume and mix in the Specialized Vehicles product line was partially offset by lower volume and mix in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, primarily due to the impact of global supply chain shortages on our original equipment manufacturer customers.

Industrial's operating expenses increased $68 million, 9%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily reflecting inflation of $70 million, largely in material costs, and the impact of higher volume and mix described above, partially offset by a favorable impact of $22 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Industrial's operating expenses increased $85 million, 6%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, primarily reflecting inflation of $115 million, largely in material costs, partially offset by a favorable impact of $30 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Industrial Segment Profit

The following factors contributed to the change in Industrial’s segment profit for the periods:

Segment profit for the Industrial segment increased $9 million, 28%, in the second quarter of 2022, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher volume and mix of $11 million described above and favorable performance of $6 million, partially offset by inflation, net of pricing of $6 million.

Segment profit for the Industrial segment increased $5 million, 6%, in the first half of 2022, compared with the first half of 2021, primarily due to favorable performance of $8 million and higher volume and mix of $5 million described above, partially offset by inflation, net of pricing of $5 million.

Textron eAviation

In the second quarter of 2022, Textron eAviation segment revenues and segment loss totaled $5 million and $8 million, respectively, which reflected the operating results of Pipistrel since its acquisition along with research and development costs for initiatives related to the development of sustainable aviation solutions.

Finance

Finance segment revenues increased $2 million and $3 million in the second quarter and first half of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2021, and segment profit increased $7 million and $10 million, respectively. The following table reflects information about the Finance segment’s credit performance related to finance receivables.

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 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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 and Industrial segments along with Textron eAviation, a new segment formed at the beginning of the second quarter of 2022. 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.

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

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 up to $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 2024, subject to up to two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. There were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were $9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility at both July 2, 2022 and January 1, 2022.

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.

Manufacturing Group Cash Flows

Cash flows for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

In the first half of 2022, cash flows from operating activities decreased $90 million to $589 million, compared with $679 million in the first half of 2021, primarily due to an increase in income tax payments of $140 million, largely resulting from a change in tax legislation. Effective at the beginning of 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and requires taxpayers to amortize such expenditures over five years. Without the option to deduct these expenses in the year incurred, our tax payments are expected to increase by approximately $300 million for the full year of 2022, depending on the final amount of research and development expenses incurred during the year.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first half of 2022 included $198 million of net cash paid for business acquisitions, largely related to the Pipistrel acquisition discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and $114 million of capital expenditures. Investing activities in the first half of 2021 included $128 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $38 million of net proceeds from the disposition of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first half of 2022 included $439 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 6.6 million shares of our common stock. In the first half of 2021, cash flows used in financing activities included $519 million of payments on long-term debt and $287 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 4.8 million shares of our common stock.

On January 25, 2022, we announced the authorization of the repurchase of up to 25 million shares of our common stock. This new plan allows us to continue our practice of repurchasing shares to offset the impact of dilution from stock-based compensation and benefit plans and for opportunistic capital management purposes. The 2022 plan has no expiration date and replaced the prior 2020 share repurchase authorization.

Finance Group Cash Flows

Cash flows for the Finance group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included collections on finance receivables totaling $79 million and $137 million in the first half of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and finance receivable originations of $23 million and $29 million, respectively. Cash flows provided by investing activities in the first half of 2022 also included $44 million of other investing activities, largely related to proceeds from the sale of operating lease assets. In the first half of 2022 and 2021, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $209 million and $34 million, respectively.

Consolidated Cash Flows

The consolidated cash flows after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:

In the first half of 2022, cash flows from operating activities decreased $158 million to $615 million, compared with $773 million in the first half of 2021, primarily due to an increase in income tax payments of $151 million, largely resulting from a change in tax legislation discussed above.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first half of 2022 included $198 million of net cash paid for business acquisitions, largely related to the Pipistrel acquisition, and $114 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $44 million of other investing activities, which included proceeds from the sale of operating lease assets. Investing activities in the first half of 2021 included $128 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $38 million of net proceeds from the disposition of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first half of 2022 included $439 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $223 million of payments on long-term debt. In the first half of 2021, cash flows used in financing activities included $553 million of payments on long-term debt and $287 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding 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:

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 January 1, 2022. 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:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 4, 2020, on August 22, 2019, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York against Textron, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The suit, filed by Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania, alleges that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and concealing material adverse facts related to the Arctic Cat acquisition and integration. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages. On November 12, 2019, the Court appointed IWA Forest Industry Pension Fund (IWA) as the sole lead plaintiff in the case. On December 24, 2019, IWA filed an Amended Complaint in the now entitled In re Textron Inc. Securities Litigation. On February 14, 2020, IWA filed a Second Amended Complaint, and on March 6, 2020, Textron filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. On July 20, 2020, the Court granted Textron’s motion to dismiss and closed the case. On August 18, 2020, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal contesting the dismissal, which Textron opposed. On September 17, 2021, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals narrowed the case, unanimously upholding dismissal of most of the Second Amended Complaint, but reversing dismissal of one aspect of the Second Amended Complaint and remanding that remaining portion back to the District Court for further proceedings.

On June 23, 2022, as a result of a mediation process overseen by an independent mediator, the Parties entered into a settlement agreement, subject to court approval, to settle plaintiff’s claims for an amount not material to Textron. Neither Textron nor any of the other defendants admitted any wrongdoing with respect to the allegations in the case.
