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 second quarter of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $18 million and $10 million, respectively, and net income by $14 million and $8 million, respectively ($0.07 and $0.04 per diluted share, respectively).

| Total finance receivables, net | $ | $ | ||||||
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) | June 29, 2024 | December 30, 2023 | ||||||
| Performing | $ | $ | ||||||
| Watchlist | ||||||||
| Nonaccrual | ||||||||
| Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables | ||||||||
| Current and less than 31 days past due | $ | $ | ||||||
| 31-60 days past due | ||||||||
| 61-90 days past due | ||||||||
| Over 90 days past due | ||||||||
| 60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables | ||||||||
At June 29, 2024, 38 % of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2022 and 28 % were originated from 2019 to 2021 with the remainder prior to 2019. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 100 % were originated from 2020 to 2021, and for 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 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 25 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 cost totaled $18 million and $17 million in the second quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $36 million and $34 million in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Finance lease, variable and short-term lease costs were not significant.
Cash paid for operating leases totaled $36 million and $34 million in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transaction related to operating leases totaled $28 million and $24 million in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting new or extended leases. In the second quarter of 2024, non-cash transactions also reflected the recognition of a $72 million asset and liability related to a new finance lease. Cash paid for finance leases was not significant.

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.
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 June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $631 million and $478 million, respectively. At June 29, 2024, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $5 million asset and a $10 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.
At June 29, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $185 5.17 25 4.13 6 million asset at June 29, 2024 and a $4 million asset at December 30, 2023.
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:

| Finance receivables, excluding leases | ||||||||||||||
| Debt | ( | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||||
12
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:

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 June 29, 2024, we had $13.4 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 82 % through 2025, an additional 16 % through 2027, and the balance thereafter.

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 totaled $13 million in the second quarter of 2024, related to headcount reductions at the Industrial segment. In the first half of 2024, special charges totaled $27 million, which included $26 million in severance costs and $1 million in asset impairment charges; we recorded $15 million of these charges at the Industrial segment, $7 million at the Textron Systems segment and $5 million at the Bell segment. We expect to incur additional special charges in the second half of 2024 in the range of $12 million to $17 million, largely related to headcount reductions at the Industrial segment.
Since inception of the 2023 restructuring plan, we have incurred $153 million in special charges, including severance costs of $65 million, which included $35 million at the Industrial segment, $18 million at the Bell segment and $12 million at the Textron Systems segment; and asset impairment charges of $88 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 $50 million to $55 million, most of which we expect to pay in 2024. We expect charges under this plan to be substantially completed by the end of 2024.

Note 12. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2024 was 19.5 % and 17.7 %, respectively. In the second quarter and first half of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21
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.

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 21 to 26.
Revenues
Revenues increased $103 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2024, compared with the second quarter of 2023. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $113 million, reflecting higher pricing of $57 million and higher volume and mix of $56 million.
•Higher Bell revenues of $93 million, largely due to higher military volume of $104 million, primarily related to the FLRAA program, partially offset by lower volume on the V-22 program.
•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $17 million, largely due to higher volume.
•Lower Industrial revenues of $112 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $119 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line.
Revenues increased $214 million, 3%, in the first half of 2024, compared with the first half of 2023. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Bell revenues of $199 million, reflecting higher military volume of $199 million, primarily related to the FLRAA program, partially offset by lower volume on the V-22 program.
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $152 million, reflecting higher pricing of $105 million and higher volume and mix of $47 million.
•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $17 million, largely due to higher volume.
•Lower Industrial revenues of $152 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $170 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by higher pricing of $29 million.
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 $93 million, 3%, and $176 million, 3% in the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023. The increase in both periods included the impact from inflation of $62 million and $116 million, respectively, and higher net volume and mix of $43 million and $105 million, respectively.
Selling and administrative expense increased $4 million, 1%, and $15 million, 3%, in the second quarter and first half of 2024, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2023. The increase in the first half of 2024, was primarily due to higher share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a gain on a legal settlement.
20
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 second quarter of 2024, interest expense, net increased $6 million, 32%, compared with the second quarter of 2023, primarily due to an increase in the weighted-average interest rate. In the first half of 2024, interest expense, net increased $6 million, 15%, compared with the first half of 2023, due to an increase in the weighted-average interest rate and higher average debt outstanding, partially offset by higher interest income of $5 million. For the second quarter and first half of 2024, gross interest expense totaled $36 million and $74 million, respectively. Gross interest expense for the second quarter and first half of 2023 totaled $31 million and $63 million, 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.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2024 was 19.5% and 17.7%, respectively. In the second quarter and first half 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 tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.
Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2023 was 20.1% and 18.3%, respectively. In the first half 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, partially offset by a $7 million provision for withholding taxes due to the planned repatriation of cash related to a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Segment Analysis
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following six operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; 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 and selling and administrative expense, while excluding certain corporate expenses, LIFO inventory provision, intangible asset amortization 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, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.
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
21
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.

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. In the first quarter of 2024, Bell received a foreign military sale award for the production and delivery of 12 AH-1Z helicopters.

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, 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.
Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:
| (Dollars in millions) | June 29, 2024 | December 30, 2023 | ||||||
| Manufacturing group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 1,345 | $ | 2,121 | ||||
| Debt | 3,241 | 3,526 | ||||||
| Shareholders’ equity | 6,852 | 6,987 | ||||||
| Capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) | 10,093 | 10,513 | ||||||
| Net debt (net of cash and equivalents) to capital | 22% | 17% | ||||||
| Debt to capital | 32% | 34% | ||||||
| Finance group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 66 | $ | 60 | ||||
| Debt | 342 | 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 June 29, 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.
Manufacturing Group Cash Flows
Cash flows for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:
| Six Months Ended | ||||||||

| Operating activities | $ | 353 | $ | 467 | ||||
| Investing activities | (124) | (107) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (994) | (635) | ||||||
In the first half of 2024, cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations decreased $114 million to $353 million, compared with $467 million in the first half of 2023, largely due to changes in working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities included $140 million and $145 million of capital expenditures in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, partially offset by $26 million and $38 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, respectively.
27
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first half of 2024 included $675 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 7.7 million shares of our common stock and $359 million of payments on long-term debt. In the first half of 2023, cash flows used in financing activities included $650 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 9.4 million shares of our common stock.
Finance Group Cash Flows
Cash flows for the Finance group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

| Financing activities | (15) | (31) | ||||||
The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included collections on finance receivables totaling $78 million and $67 million in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, partially offset by finance receivable originations of $58 million and $63 million, respectively. In the first half of 2024 and 2023, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $15 million and $31 million, respectively.
Consolidated Cash Flows
The consolidated cash flows after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:
| Six Months Ended | ||||||||
| (In millions) | June 29, 2024 | July 1, 2023 | ||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 361 | $ | 460 | ||||
| Investing activities | (111) | (86) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (1,009) | (666) | ||||||
In the first half of 2024, cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations decreased $99 million to $361 million, compared with $460 million in the first half of 2023, largely due to changes in working capital, partially offset by a net cash inflow from captive financing activities of $22 million.
Cash flows used in investing activities included $140 million and $145 million of capital expenditures in the first half of 2024 and 2023, respectively, partially offset by $26 million and $38 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, respectively.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first half of 2024 included $675 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $374 million of payments on long-term debt. In the first half of 2023, cash flows used in financing activities included $650 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
28
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 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:
