Providence, Rhode Island – October 17, 2019 – Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported third quarter 2019 net income of $0.95 per share, compared to $0.61 per share last year of adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, or net income of $2.26 per share in the third quarter of 2018, which included the gain on the sale of the Tools & Test product line of $1.65 per share.

“Revenues were higher in the quarter primarily driven by Textron Aviation and Industrial, and we continued to have good execution with solid margin performance across our businesses,” said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of the manufacturing group for the third quarter totaled $238 million, compared to $319 million in last year’s third quarter. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, totaled $181 million compared to $259 million last year.

In the quarter, Textron returned $109 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

Outlook

Textron now expects 2019 earnings per share to be in a range of $3.70 to $3.80.

The company revised its expectation for manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions to $600 to $700 million, from $700 to $800 million. Expected pension contributions remain at about $50 million.

Third Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.2 billion were up $68 million from last year’s third quarter, primarily due to higher jet and aftermarket volume, partially offset by lower defense volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 45 jets, up from 41 last year, and 39 commercial turboprops, down from 43 last year.

Segment profit was $104 million in the third quarter, up $5 million from a year ago due to the higher volume and mix and favorable performance, partially offset by higher net inflation.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the third quarter was $1.9 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $783 million, up $13 million from last year on higher commercial revenues, partially offset by lower military volume.

Bell delivered 42 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 43 last year.

Segment profit of $110 million was down $3 million from a year ago, primarily due to an unfavorable impact from performance which included lower net favorable program adjustments, partially offset by higher volume and mix.

Bell backlog at the end of the third quarter was $5.6 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $311 million, down $41 million from last year, primarily reflecting lower armored vehicle volume at Textron Marine & Land Systems.

Segment profit of $31 million was up $2 million from last year’s third quarter.

Textron Systems’ backlog at the end of the third quarter was $1.4 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues of $950 million increased $20 million from a year ago, primarily related to a favorable impact from pricing within the Textron Specialized Vehicles product line.

Segment profit was up $46 million from the third quarter of 2018, largely due to favorable performance and a favorable impact from net pricing, primarily related to the Specialized Vehicles product line.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were down $1 million, and profit was up $2 million from last year’s third quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) with certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude certain significant items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, results from our ongoing business operations. We believe that these non-GAAP measures may be useful for period-over-period comparisons of underlying business trends and our ongoing business performance, however, they should be used in conjunction with GAAP measures. Our non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures, and other companies may define similarly named measures differently. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in the entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. We utilize the following definition for the non-GAAP financial measure included in this release:

Net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share

Net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude Gain on business disposition, net of taxes. The Gain on business disposition is not considered indicative of ongoing operations as it is a significant one-time transaction related to the sale of our Tools and Test product line.

Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions

Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions adjusts net cash from operating activities (GAAP) for the following:

• Deducts capital expenditures and includes proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment to arrive at the net capital investment required to support ongoing manufacturing operations;

• Excludes dividends received from Textron Financial Corporation (TFC) and capital contributions to TFC provided under the Support Agreement and debt agreements as these cash flows are not representative of manufacturing operations;

• Adds back pension contributions as we consider our pension obligations to be debt-like liabilities. Additionally, these contributions can fluctuate significantly from period to period and we believe that they are not representative of cash used by our manufacturing operations during the period.

• Excludes taxes paid related to the gain realized in 2018 on the Tools and Test business disposition. We have made this adjustment to the non-GAAP measure because we believe this use of cash is not representative of cash used by our manufacturing operations.

While we believe this measure provides a focus on cash generated from manufacturing operations, before pension contributions, and may be used as an additional relevant measure of liquidity, it does not necessarily provide the amount available for discretionary expenditures since we have certain non-discretionary obligations that are not deducted from the measure.
