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 28, 2024. 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.

Note 2. Accounts Receivable and Finance Receivables

| 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) | September 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | ||||||
| Performing | $ | $ | ||||||
| Watchlist | ||||||||
| Nonaccrual | ||||||||
| Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables | ||||||||
| Current and less than 31 days past due | $ | $ | ||||||
| 31-60 days past due | ||||||||
| 60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables | ||||||||
At September 27, 2025, 54 % of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2023 and 24 % were originated from 2020 to 2022 with the remainder prior to 2020. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 100 % were originated from 2023 to 2024, and for nonaccrual, 100 % were originated prior to 2020.
9
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. Our impaired finance receivables were insignificant at September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024.
Note 3. Inventories
Inventories are composed of the following:
| (In millions) | September 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | ||||||

Note 4. Accounts Payable and Warranty Liability
Accounts Payable
Supplier Financing Arrangement
We have a financing arrangement with one of our suppliers for a maximum amount of $200 million 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. This financing arrangement expires in April 2027. At September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, the amount due under the supplier financing arrangement was $111 million and $50 million, respectively.
Warranty Liability

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 26 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 $19 million in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $54 million and $55 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively. Cash paid for operating leases approximated the lease cost and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transactions related to operating leases totaled $77 million and $36 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, reflecting new or modified leases and changes from the reassessment of lease options. In the first nine months of 2024, non-cash transactions also included the recognition of a $72 million asset and liability related to a new finance lease. Finance lease, variable and short-term lease costs were not significant.

Note 7. 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 September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $542 million and $464 million, respectively. At September 27, 2025, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $8 million asset and a $15 million liability. At December 28, 2024, the fair value amount of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $5 million asset and a $19 million liability.
11
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 $2 million and an $8 million asset at September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, respectively.
At September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, our Finance group had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $264 5.16 % and 5.20 %, respectively. At September 27, 2025, these agreements have maturities ranging from August 2026 to August 2030. At December 28, 2024, we also had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million that effectively converted variable-rate interest on a term loan to a fixed rate of 4.13 % that matured in June 2025.
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 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | |||||||||||||

| Finance group | ||||||||||||||
| Finance receivables, excluding leases | ||||||||||||||
| Debt | ( | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||||
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.

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:

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, stock options to purchase 2.0 million and 2.3 million shares of common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Stock options to purchase 1.0

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 27, 2025, we had $19.1 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 61 % through 2026, an additional 34 % through 2028, and the balance thereafter.

Note 12. Special Charges
In connection with the termination of certain U.S. Government development programs, we initiated restructuring actions in the second quarter of 2025 to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions and other actions at the Textron Systems segment. As a result, we recorded special charges of $8 million in the second quarter of 2025, which included severance costs of $5 million and contract termination costs of $3 million. Headcount reductions totaled approximately 85 positions, representing less than 1 % of our global workforce. The restructuring actions were substantially completed in the third quarter of 2025.
In the second quarter of 2025, we completed the previously announced strategic review of the Powersports product line and on April 23, 2025, we closed on the sale of the Powersports business, including the Arctic Cat brand and its operations. Net cash proceeds from the sale were $16 million and we recorded a pre-tax gain of $4 million, which is included in special charges.
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2024, special charges included a reversal of $2 million and charges of $25 million, respectively, related to a 2023 restructuring plan.
Our restructuring reserve activity, which includes the restructuring actions discussed above and the 2023 plan, is summarized below:

Note 13. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 25.6 % and 11.5 % for the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 19.9 % and 15.8 % for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act) was enacted and changed certain sections of U.S. income tax law. Among other things, the Act makes permanent: 1) the option to deduct domestic research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred, 2) the deduction of the full cost of eligible assets in the year placed in service, and 3) the EBITDA-based business interest expense limitation as well as modifications to the international tax framework.
In the third quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 %, largely reflecting the impact of certain provisions of the Act, primarily those that affected tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income and research and development credits. In the first nine months of 2025, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits.
In the third quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and foreign tax credits. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 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 14. 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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Business Environment
Changes to the United States trade policy have resulted in new or higher tariffs on goods imported from numerous countries, and some countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States. We are principally a North American manufacturer and 71% of our 2024 revenues were generated in the U.S. Our aircraft products, subassemblies, parts and components manufactured in Canada and Mexico are largely qualified under the rules of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) for preferential treatment on tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canada and Mexico imports. In addition, our operations outside of North America primarily source materials and components from outside of North America and manufacture products for non-U.S. customers. Many of our businesses also source materials and components from outside of North America. These businesses have been and will continue to be impacted by these imposed U.S. tariffs. In order to mitigate these impacts our businesses have been managing, and will continue to manage, pricing and supply chain optimization strategies. In addition, our aircraft businesses have begun the tariff reconciliation and refund process with the U.S. Government to recover tariff costs that were previously paid related to materials and components that were subsequently determined to be USMCA compliant. To date, we have not experienced a material adverse impact from these tariffs. We will continue to evaluate the ongoing impact of these tariffs and any further developments or changes in global tariff policies on our business and financial position.
Appropriations for FY 2026 were not enacted by September 30, 2025, and on October 1, 2025, the U.S. Government entered a shutdown, which is ongoing. Consistent with federal guidelines, we are continuing to perform work on existing contracts funded with appropriations from prior fiscal years. If a prolonged government shutdown occurs, it could result in program disruptions, limit the U.S. Government’s ability to progress programs and make timely payments, and impact new program starts. A prolonged shutdown could have significant consequences for our company, our employees, our suppliers and our industry and could result in delayed cash collections and/or have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and/or cash flows.

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 24 to 28.
Revenues
Revenues increased $175 million, 5%, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $138 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $116 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $22 million.
•Higher Bell revenues of $97 million due to higher military aircraft and support programs revenues of $128 million, primarily for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) program, now designated as MV-75 by the U.S. Army, partially offset by lower commercial revenues of $31 million.
•Lower Industrial revenues of $79 million, due to lower revenues of $97 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles, largely reflecting the impact from the disposition of the Powersports business in April 2025 as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, partially offset by higher revenues of $18 million at Kautex.
•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $6 million, largely due to higher volume.
22
Revenues increased $535 million, 5%, in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Bell revenues of $575 million, due to higher military aircraft and support programs revenues of $431 million, primarily for the MV-75 program and for military sustainment programs, as well as higher commercial revenues of $144 million.
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $204 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $148 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $56 million.
•Lower Industrial revenues of $254 million, with $225 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles, largely reflecting the impact from the disposition and lower volume and mix, primarily in golf products. Kautex revenues decreased $29 million, largely due to lower volume.
•Lower Textron Systems revenues of $6 million, largely due to lower volume.
Manufacturing group revenues increased $161 million and $517 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2024, largely reflecting an increase of $159 million and $853 million, respectively, in product revenues. The increase in product revenues in the first nine months of 2025 was partially offset by a decrease of $336 million in service revenues, largely related to the classification of revenues for the MV-75 program, which was service-related prior to the transition of the program to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase in the third quarter of 2024 when it became product-related.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes cost of products and services sold for the Manufacturing group. Cost of sales increased $139 million, 5%, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, largely due to higher net volume and mix of $143 million and a $61 million impact from inflation, partially offset by the impact from the disposition of the Powersports business.
Cost of sales increased $514 million, 6%, in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, largely due to higher net volume and mix of $401 million and a $193 million impact from inflation and higher LIFO inventory provision, partially offset by the impact from the disposition. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 90 basis points in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to lower margin at the Bell segment.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs decreased $8 million, 6%, in the third quarter of 2025, and increased $12 million, 3%, in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the corresponding periods of 2024. The higher research and development costs in the first nine months of 2025 included an increase of $32 million at Bell, reflecting lower costs in 2024 due to the wind down of the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft program, partially offset by a decrease of $10 million at each of the Textron Systems and Textron eAviation segments.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense decreased $25 million, 9%, and $33 million, 4%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, compared with the corresponding periods of 2024, primarily due to a $16 million gain resulting from the early termination of a vendor contract in the third quarter of 2025 at the Textron Systems segment. The decrease in expense in the first nine months of 2025 also included lower share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a 2024 recovery of amounts that were previously written off related to one customer relationship in the Finance segment.
Interest Expense, Net
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 2025, interest expense, net increased $4 million, 15%, and $19 million, 27%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2024. The increase in expense in the first nine months of 2025 primarily reflected lower interest income. Gross interest expense totaled $39 million and $36 million in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $116 million and $110 million in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Special Charges
Special charges largely include restructuring activities as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 20.

Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 25.6% and 11.5% in the third quarter of 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 19.9% and 15.8% for the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively.
On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (the Act) was enacted and changed certain sections of U.S. income tax law. Among other things, the Act makes permanent: 1) the option to deduct domestic research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred, 2) the deduction of the full cost of eligible assets in the year placed in service, and 3) the EBITDA-based business interest expense limitation as well as modifications to the international tax framework.
In the third quarter of 2025, our effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely reflecting the impact of certain provisions of the Act, primarily those that affected tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income and research and development credits. In the first nine months of 2025, our effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits.
In the third quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and foreign tax credits. Our effective tax rate for the first nine months of 2024 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.
Backlog
Our backlog is summarized below:
| (In millions) | September 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | ||||||
| Textron Aviation | $ | 7,739 | $ | 7,845 | ||||
| Bell | 8,231 | 7,469 | ||||||
| Textron Systems | 3,172 | 2,594 | ||||||
| Total backlog | $ | 19,142 | $ | 17,908 | ||||
Bell's backlog increased $762 million, 10%, due to orders in excess of revenues recognized and deliveries. New orders included a $1.3 billion award for the prototype testing and evaluation phase of the MV-75 program.
Backlog at Textron Systems' increased $578 million, 22%, reflecting orders in excess of revenues recognized and deliveries, which included new contract awards for several programs.
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 operating costs used to derive segment profit for our manufacturing segments includes cost of sales, research and development costs and selling and administrative expense. The cost of sales discussed in this Segment Analysis section excludes the LIFO inventory provision and intangible asset amortization discussed above that are reported within Cost of products sold or Cost of services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.
In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, material changes in revenues and segment profit for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of product line revenues, including volume and mix and pricing; foreign exchange; acquisitions and dispositions; inflation; manufacturing efficiency; and changes in research and development costs and selling and administrative expense. 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. Manufacturing efficiency includes changes in material, labor and overhead variances to standards, typically due to scrap rates, labor efficiency or inefficiencies, facility usage and other manufacturing productivity inputs.
24
Approximately 25% of our 2024 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, material 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 contract performance, which includes 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’s revenues increased $138 million, 10%, in the third quarter of 2025, compared with the third quarter of 2024, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $116 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $22 million. The increase in aircraft revenues was largely due to higher volume and mix, which included higher commercial turboprop and Citation jet volume, partially offset by lower defense volume. The higher volume and mix also reflects the impact of the strike in the third quarter of 2024. We delivered 42 Citation jets and 39 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2025, compared with 41 Citation jets and 25 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2024.

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) | September 27, 2025 | December 28, 2024 | ||||||
| Manufacturing group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 1,446 | $ | 1,386 | ||||
| Debt | 3,394 | 3,247 | ||||||
| Shareholders’ equity | 7,493 | 7,204 | ||||||

| Finance group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 76 | $ | 55 | ||||
| Debt | 340 | 341 | ||||||
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
28
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
On October 16, 2025, Textron entered into 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 2030 and provides for two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. The new facility replaces the existing 5-year facility which was scheduled to expire in October 2027. There were no amounts borrowed against either facility and at September 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, there was a $9 million letter of credit issued and outstanding under the prior facility that remains outstanding under the new 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 February 13, 2025, we issued $500 million of SEC-registered fixed-rate notes due in May 2035 with an annual interest rate of 5.50%. On March 3, 2025, we repaid our $350 million 3.875% Notes due in 2025.
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 nine months of 2025, cash flows from operating activities increased $68 million to $629 million, compared with $561 million in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to $60 million in lower net tax payments.
Cash flows used in investing activities included $210 million and $211 million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, partially offset by $77 million and $27 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, respectively. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in investing activities also included $16 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Powersports business as discussed in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 included $635 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 8.4 million shares of our common stock and $355 million of payments on long-term debt, partially offset by $495 million of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. In the first nine months of 2024, cash flows used in financing activities 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.

Consolidated Cash Flows
The consolidated cash flows after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:
| Nine Months Ended | ||||||||

| Operating activities | $ | 613 | $ | 569 | ||||
| Investing activities | (45) | (189) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (507) | (1,214) | ||||||
In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows from operating activities increased $44 million to $613 million, compared with $569 million in the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to $55 million in lower net tax payments, partially offset by a net cash outflow of $34 million from captive financing activities.
Cash flows used in investing activities included $210 million and $211 million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, respectively, partially offset by $77 million and $27 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies, respectively. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in investing activities also included $66 million of proceeds from the disposition of non-captive assets and $16 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Powersports business.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2025 included $635 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $367 million of payments on long-term and non-recourse debt, partially offset by $495 million of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt. In the first nine months of 2024, cash flows used in financing activities included $890 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $375 million of payments on long-term and non-recourse debt.
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 on page 6 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 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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:
