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 January 3, 2026. 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 and Industrial 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
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable is composed of the following:
| (In millions) | October 3, 2026 | January 3, 2026 | ||||||

| 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) | October 3, 2026 | January 3, 2026 | ||||||
| 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 October 3, 2026, 67 % of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2024 and 17 % were originated from 2021 to 2023 with the remainder prior to 2021. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 45 % were originated since the beginning of 2024 and 35 % from 2021 to 2023 with the remainder prior to 2021. For finance receivables categorized as nonaccrual, 100 % were originated since the beginning of 2022.
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 not significant at October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026.

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 October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026, the amount due under the supplier financing arrangement was $136 million and $108 million, respectively.

* Other includes business dispositions and currency translation adjustments.
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 $19 million and $18 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $58 million and $54 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, 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 $52 million and $77 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively, reflecting new or modified leases and changes from the reassessment of lease options. Finance lease, variable and short-term lease costs were not significant.

At October 3, 2026, maturities of our operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis totaled $19 million for the remainder of 2026, $70 million for 2027, $64 million for 2028, $58 million for 2029, $49 million for 2030 and $270 million thereafter. In the first quarter of 2026, we paid $72 million in connection with the termination of a finance lease resulting from our election to exercise an option to purchase the related manufacturing facility for the MV-75 program.
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 October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $559 million and $477 million, respectively. At October 3, 2026, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $1 million asset and a $14 million liability. At January 3, 2026, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $6 million asset and a $10 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 $7 million and a $1 million asset at October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026, respectively.
At October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026, our Finance group had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $209 million and $264 million, respectively, that effectively converts the variable-rate interest for these Notes to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.15 % and 5.16 %, respectively. At October 3, 2026, these agreements have maturities ranging from August 2027 to August 2030.
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 | ( | ( | ( | ( | ||||||||||
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:

In the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, stock options to purchase 1.7 million and 1.1 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 2.0 million and 2.3 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Segment Financial Information
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five
On April 30, 2026, Textron announced its intent to separate its Industrial segment from the Company. The Company intends to explore multiple paths to effect the planned separation of its Industrial segment, including but not limited to a sale of the Industrial businesses or a tax-free separation into a standalone, publicly traded company. The Company is targeting completion of the separation within 12 to 18 months from the original announcement, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions customary for such a proposed separation, including receipt of any required regulatory approvals and final approval of the Company’s Board of Directors. There can be no assurance regarding the ultimate timing or structure of the proposed separation or that a transaction will be completed.
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.

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 October 3, 2026, we had $19.0 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 62 % through 2027, an additional 31 % through 2029, and the balance thereafter.

Note 11. Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 16.1 % and 17.4 % for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21 %, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived deduction eligible income, which replaced foreign-derived intangible income beginning in 2026. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in tax provision due to the repatriation of cash related to non-U.S. jurisdictions in the third quarter of 2026.
Note 12. 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.

MV-75 Program
Funding
As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 4, 2026, on April 28, 2026, Bell received a letter from the U.S. Army Contracting Command stating that the U.S. Government was pursuing an Above Threshold Reprogramming (ATR) request for $350 million in additional funds for the MV-75 program for the U.S. Government’s fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. In mid-July 2026, Bell exhausted substantially all available fiscal 2026 MV-75 program funds and continued working on the program at its own risk during the third quarter, while maintaining reduced spending levels on the program. Prior to the end of the Company's third quarter, the ATR request was approved and obligated pursuant to contract modifications for approximately $300 million in additional funds. As a result of the ATR approval, modifications and contract changes received, and reduced program spending levels, there was no related cumulative catch-up adjustment required during the third quarter.
Low-Rate Initial Production Option
As the MV-75 program progresses, we expect to be awarded the long-lead Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the contract. The award is dependent on the approval of the U.S. Government’s 2027 fiscal year budget, the timing and availability of funding for the MV-75 program in the approved budget, and resulting mutually agreed-upon program schedule. Upon award of the LRIP option, which is largely fixed price, we expect to record an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment, reflecting higher costs than originally anticipated from when the program was bid. If the LRIP option is awarded during 2027, we now expect to record an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment in the range of $110 million to $150 million, depending upon the timing of the award during the year, as well as the program schedule and the funding available on the program. Our previously disclosed range of $60 million to $110 million reflected an award in late 2026 or early 2027. We expect the overall MV-75 program to continue to generate a positive profit margin after the adjustment.

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 22 to 26.
Revenues
Revenues increased $149 million, 4%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the third quarter of 2025. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $201 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $152 million, primarily due to higher volume and mix, and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $49 million.
•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $50 million, largely due to higher volume.
•Higher Industrial revenues of $4 million, reflecting higher revenues of $26 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles, partially offset by lower revenues of $22 million at Kautex.
•Lower Bell revenues of $93 million due to lower military aircraft and support programs revenues of $59 million and lower commercial revenues of $34 million.
Revenues increased $649 million, 6%, in the first nine months of 2026, compared with the first nine months of 2025. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $492 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $390 million, primarily due to higher volume and mix, and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $102 million.
•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $112 million, largely due to higher volume.
•Higher Bell revenues of $52 million, due to higher military aircraft and support programs revenues of $149 million, partially offset by lower commercial revenues of $97 million.
•Higher Industrial revenues of $7 million, reflecting higher revenues of $31 million at Kautex, partially offset by lower revenues of $24 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales includes cost of products and services sold for the Manufacturing group. Cost of sales increased $138 million, 5%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $75 million impact from inflation and higher net volume and mix of $45 million. In the first nine months of 2026, cost of sales increased $615 million, 7%, compared with the first nine months of 2025, largely due to higher net volume and mix of $377 million and a $210 million impact from inflation. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 70 basis points in the first nine months of 2026, primarily due to lower margin at the Bell segment.
Research and Development Costs
Research and development costs decreased $8 million, 7%, and $41 million, 11%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025. The decrease in the first nine months of 2026 was primarily due to lower costs of $22 million at the Bell segment, reflecting a reduction in costs on several programs, and $10 million at the Textron Systems segment, due to a reduction in costs on certain U.S. Government development programs.
Selling and Administrative Expense
Selling and administrative expense increased $14 million, 5%, and $45 million, 5%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025. The increase in selling and administrative expense in both periods reflected a net $10 million decrease in a gain associated with the early termination of a vendor contract in the third quarter of 2025 at the Textron Systems segment. The increase in selling and administrative expense in the first nine months of 2026 also included higher compensation expense.
21
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 2026, interest expense, net increased $2 million, 7%, and $9 million, 10%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to higher average debt outstanding. Gross interest expense totaled $41 million and $39 million in the third quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $124 million and $116 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate was 16.1% and 17.4% for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived deduction eligible income, which replaced foreign-derived intangible income beginning in 2026. These benefits were partially offset by an increase in tax provision due to the repatriation of cash related to non-U.S. jurisdictions in the third quarter of 2026.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 was 25.6% and 19.9%, respectively. In the third quarter of 2025, the effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely reflecting the impact of certain provisions of the One Big Beautiful Bill 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.

Segment Analysis
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, the business activities of the Textron eAviation segment were realigned within Textron's other operating segments resulting in the elimination of the Textron eAviation segment as a separate reporting segment. Under the segment realignment, a significant part of Textron eAviation, including Pipistrel, became part of the Textron Aviation segment to enable the business to more effectively leverage the development, manufacturing and sales expertise at Textron Aviation. In addition, Textron eAviation’s manned and unmanned products for military applications and related research and development activities are included in the results of the Textron Systems segment, which is best suited to provide more direct access to the targeted customer base for these products. Lastly, certain Textron eAviation research and development activities encompassing digital flight control and air vehicle management systems, which we expect will benefit several of our segments, are reported within corporate expenses. The prior period has been recast to reflect the segment realignment.
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
22
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.
Approximately 27% of our 2025 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 among other factors. See the Critical Accounting Estimates - Revenue Recognition section in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the factors that impact our estimated costs.

Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $201 million, 14%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the third quarter of 2025, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $152 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $49 million. The increase in aircraft revenues was primarily due to higher volume and mix, largely reflecting higher Citation jet volume, partially offset by lower commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 51 Citation jets and 32 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2026, compared with 42 Citation jets and 39 commercial turboprops in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in aftermarket parts and services revenues was due to higher volume and pricing.
Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $492 million, 12%, in the first nine months of 2026, compared with the first nine months of 2025, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $390 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $102 million. The increase in aircraft revenues was primarily due to higher volume and mix, largely reflecting higher Citation jet and commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 128 Citation jets and 111 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2026, compared with 122 Citation jets and 103 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2025. The increase in aftermarket parts and services revenues was due to higher pricing and volume.
Textron Aviation’s cost of sales increased $181 million, 16%, and $427 million, 13%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily reflecting higher aircraft volume and inflation of $45 million and $137 million, respectively.
Textron Aviation's selling and administrative expense increased $12 million, 12%, and $35 million, 11% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to higher compensation expense.
Textron Aviation's segment profit increased $7 million, 4%, in the third quarter of 2026, compared with the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from manufacturing inefficiencies.
Textron Aviation's segment profit increased $34 million, 7%, in the first nine months of 2026, compared with the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from manufacturing inefficiencies and higher selling and administrative expense described above.

Bell's segment profit decreased $39 million, 15%, in the first nine months of 2026, compared with the first nine months of 2025, and its profit margin decreased 150 basis points, primarily reflecting an unfavorable impact from the mix of military programs described above, lower commercial volume and mix, contract performance and manufacturing inefficiencies, partially offset by lower research and development costs.
Low-Rate Initial Production Option
As the MV-75 program progresses, we expect to be awarded the long-lead Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the contract. The award is dependent on the approval of the U.S. Government’s 2027 fiscal year budget, the timing and availability of funding for the MV-75 program in the approved budget, and resulting mutually agreed-upon program schedule. Upon award of the LRIP option, which is largely fixed price, we expect to record an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment, reflecting higher costs than originally anticipated from when the program was bid. If the LRIP option is awarded during 2027, we now expect to record an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment in the range of $110 million to $150 million, depending upon the timing of the award during the year, as well as the program schedule and the funding available on the program. Our previously disclosed range of $60 million to $110 million reflected an award in late 2026 or early 2027. We expect the overall MV-75 program to continue to generate a positive profit margin after the adjustment.

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. 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) | October 3, 2026 | January 3, 2026 | ||||||
| Manufacturing group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 1,610 | $ | 1,940 | ||||
| Debt | 3,465 | 3,539 | ||||||
| Shareholders’ equity | 8,116 | 7,875 | ||||||
| Capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) | 11,581 | 11,414 | ||||||
| Net debt (net of cash and equivalents) to capital | 19% | 17% | ||||||
| Debt to capital | 30% | 31% | ||||||
| Finance group | ||||||||
| Cash and equivalents | $ | 86 | $ | 85 | ||||
| Debt | 339 | 339 | ||||||
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 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. At October 3, 2026 and January 3, 2026, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were no letters of credit issued and outstanding 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.
Manufacturing Group Cash Flows
Cash flows from continuing operations for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:
| Nine Months Ended | ||||||||
| (In millions) | October 3, 2026 | September 27, 2025 | ||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 640 | $ | 629 | ||||
| Investing activities | (317) | (94) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (648) | (495) | ||||||
In the first nine months of 2026, cash flows from operating activities increased $11 million to $640 million, compared with $629 million in the first nine months of 2025, largely due to lower net income tax payments of $76 million, largely offset by changes in working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities included $330 million and $210 million of capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in investing activities also included $77 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies and $16 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Powersports business.
27
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2026 included $616 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 7.0 million shares of our common stock. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in financing activities 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.
Finance Group Cash Flows
Cash flows for the Finance group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

| Financing activities | — | (12) | ||||||
The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included finance receivable originations of $183 million and $167 million in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and collections on finance receivables totaling $154 million and $119 million, respectively. In the first nine months of 2026 and 2025, investing cash flows also included $24 million and $66 million of proceeds from the disposition of non-captive assets, respectively. In the first nine months of 2025, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $12 million.
Consolidated Cash Flows
The consolidated cash flows from continuing operations after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:
| Nine Months Ended | ||||||||
| (In millions) | October 3, 2026 | September 27, 2025 | ||||||
| Operating activities | $ | 613 | $ | 613 | ||||
| Investing activities | (289) | (45) | ||||||
| Financing activities | (648) | (507) | ||||||
In the first nine months of 2026, cash flows from operating activities were unchanged compared with the first nine months of 2025, as $72 million in lower net income tax payments was largely offset by changes in working capital.
Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2026 and 2025 included $330 million and $210 million of capital expenditures, respectively, partially offset by $24 million and $66 million of proceeds from the disposition of non-captive assets, respectively. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in investing activities also included $77 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies 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 2026 included $616 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. In the first nine months of 2025, cash flows used in financing activities included $635 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $367 million of payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt, partially offset by $495 million of net proceeds from the issuance of long-term 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.

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 2025 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:

The evaluation was performed with the participation of senior management of each business segment and key Corporate functions, under the supervision of our President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were operating and effective as of October 3, 2026.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended October 3, 2026 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks. Investors should review and consider the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, and in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended April 4, 2026 and July 4, 2026, along with the additional risk factors included below. We may disclose changes to these risk factors or additional risk factors in our future filings with the SEC as the business environment and conditions change. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The global economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has resulted in significant volatility in the global energy and commodity markets, increased energy and shipping costs, disruptions to international shipping lanes (including the Strait of Hormuz) and heightened risks of supply-chain interruptions, cyber-attacks and terrorism. Certain of our direct or indirect suppliers also have been negatively impacted by these events, resulting in increased costs to us for certain materials and components. The continuation or escalation of hostilities in the Middle East region has adversely affected, and could continue to adversely affect, global economic conditions, and could lead to other delivery schedule, order activity and/or supply chain disruptions, result in continued elevated transportation and energy costs and other inflationary pressures or otherwise negatively impact our operations. Sustained elevated energy costs, including the cost of jet fuel, could adversely impact demand and/or utilization of our aircraft and rotorcraft products. Furthermore, the potential for retaliatory acts of cyberwarfare against U.S. defense companies in response to the hostilities could result in increased cyber-attacks against us. The impact of any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
Risks related to the intended separation of the Company's Industrial Segment
On April 30, 2026, we announced our intention to separate our Industrial segment from the Company and its core aerospace and defense businesses (the Separation) pursuant to a sale of the Industrial businesses, a tax-free separation of the Industrial businesses into a standalone, publicly traded company or another transaction. The Company continues to explore several paths to effect the Separation, but at this time there is uncertainty as to the terms, structure and timing of any transaction, whether the closing conditions for a transaction will be satisfied or waived, and whether the Separation will be completed on the Company’s targeted timeline or at all. Additional factors such as conditions in the equity and debt markets and other external conditions or developments, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could delay the completion of the Separation relative to its targeted timeline, prevent it from occurring at all or, if it does occur, adversely impact the future operating and financial performance, market position and business strategy for the Company and/or the Industrial segment following the Separation. These or other unanticipated developments could also cause the Separation to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the Separation, if completed, will be successful in meeting its objectives or achieving its intended benefits.

We have customer concentration with the U.S. Government; reduction in U.S. Government defense spending or a material reduction or delay in funding of the MV-75 program could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
During 2025, we derived approximately 27% of our revenues from sales to a variety of U.S. Government entities. Our revenues from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government defense-related programs. The MV-75 program at Bell represents a significant and growing portion of our U.S. Government revenues and backlog. Bell has significantly increased its investments in the resources, facilities and personnel applied to the MV-75 program.
On September 2, 2026, a continuing resolution (CR) was enacted to provide funding for the federal government, including the DoW, through December 11, 2026, generally at FY 2026 funding levels. Annual appropriations for FY 2027 have not yet been enacted, and it remains uncertain when the government will approve full-year FY 2027 appropriations and what levels of funding those appropriations will provide. Government operations under an extended CR could have adverse impacts on our programs, including the MV-75 program. If the CR is not extended or full-year appropriations legislation is not enacted before the current CR expires, a government shutdown could occur. A prolonged government shutdown could result in program disruptions and limit the U.S. Government’s ability to progress programs and make timely payments.
We cannot predict the impact on existing, follow-on or future programs from changes in the threat environment, defense spending levels, government priorities, political leadership, procurement practices, inflation and other macroeconomic trends, military strategy, or broader societal changes. Significant changes in national and international priorities for defense spending could affect the funding, or the timing of funding, of our programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. In particular, a material reduction or delay in funding of the MV-75 program could have a material adverse effect on Bell’s and our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition.
Global macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our business.
Global macroeconomic conditions have negatively impacted our business in the past and could in the future negatively impact our business. Negative macroeconomic factors may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as on our distributors, customers, subcontractors and suppliers, and on activity in many of the industries and markets we serve. We cannot predict changes in worldwide or regional economic or political conditions and government policies as such factors are highly volatile and beyond our control. If current macroeconomic pressures, including from inflation and labor and supply chain challenges, continue or if global macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and remain at depressed levels for extended periods, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, including increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where we manufacture or sell our products or from where we import products or raw materials (either directly or through our suppliers) could adversely impact our competitive position, business operations or financial results. In particular, recent changes to global tariff policies have created significant uncertainty with respect to trade policies, treaties and tariffs. 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 imports from Canada and Mexico into the United States. The USMCA’s mandatory six-year joint review was held on July 1, 2026, and the United States declined to renew the agreement for an additional 16-year term. Canada and Mexico each expressed support for a 16-year extension. As a result of the United States’ decision not to renew, the agreement now enters a period of annual joint reviews that will continue each year until the parties agree on an extension or the agreement expires on July 1, 2036. USMCA remains in force during this annual review period and our existing tariff preferences, rules of origin qualifications, and investment protections currently remain operative. However, the agreement is now subject to recurring renegotiation risk at each annual review, and any party may withdraw from the agreement upon six months’ written notice. The termination of the agreement, renegotiation of the agreement with terms less favorable to us or the imposition of other U.S. tariff measures imposed under separate legal authorities which override USMCA preferences for covered goods could result in the loss or reduction of preferential tariff treatment which could increase our costs and create compliance and supply-chain disruption risks. These developments could adversely impact us, our distributors, customers, subcontractors or suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion of the impact of these tariffs.
