• Adjusted EPS* of $5.50 - $5.58, up from $5.35 - $5.45
• Confirms free cash flow* of approximately $4.7 billion

"RTX delivered another strong quarter of organic sales* growth, adjusted segment margin* expansion, and free cash flow*," said RTX President and CEO Chris Calio. "Demand across our portfolio, particularly within commercial aftermarket and defense, remains robust and gives us the confidence to again raise our full year outlook for adjusted sales* and adjusted EPS*."

"With a record $221 billion backlog, we are focused on executing our strategic priorities to drive best-in-class performance, deliver for our customers and create long-term shareowner value."

Third quarter 2024
RTX reported third quarter sales of $20.1 billion. Adjusted sales* were $20.1 billion, up 6 percent over the prior year. GAAP EPS of $1.09 included $0.31 of acquisition accounting adjustments, and $0.05 of restructuring and other net significant and/or non-recurring charges. Adjusted EPS* of $1.45 was up 16 percent versus the prior year.

The company reported net income attributable to common shareowners in the third quarter of $1.5 billion which included $418 million of acquisition accounting adjustments, and $58 million of restructuring and other net significant and/or non-recurring charges. Adjusted net income* of $1.9 billion was up 7 percent versus the prior year driven by growth in adjusted segment operating profit* and a lower effective tax rate. This increase was partially offset by higher interest expense and lower pension income. Operating cash flow in the third quarter was $2.5 billion. Capital expenditures were $552 million, resulting in free cash flow* of $2.0 billion.

The prior year reported results included a charge related to the previously disclosed Pratt powder metal matter which reduced sales by $5.4 billion, net income by $2.2 billion, and GAAP EPS by $1.53.

Collins Aerospace had third quarter 2024 reported sales of $7,075 million, up 7 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by a 14 percent increase in defense and a 9 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, partially offset by an 8 percent decrease in commercial OE. The increase in defense sales was driven by higher volume across multiple programs, and the increase in commercial aftermarket sales was driven by continued growth in commercial air traffic, including higher flight hours. The decrease in commercial OE sales was driven by lower narrowbody volume. Adjusted sales* of $7,075 million, were up 6 percent versus the prior year.

Collins Aerospace reported operating profit of $1,062 million, up 18 percent versus the prior year. The increase in operating profit was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and defense volume. This increase was partially offset by lower commercial OE volume, unfavorable commercial OE mix, and higher R&D expense. Q3 2024 benefited from the absence of a $57 million charge related to a litigation matter in the prior year, as well as lower restructuring costs. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $1,096 million was up 5 percent versus the prior year.

Pratt & Whitney had third quarter 2024 reported sales of $7,239 million. Adjusted sales* of $7,239 million, were up 14 percent versus the prior year driven by a 13 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, a 20 percent increase in military, and a 9 percent increase in commercial OE. The increase in commercial sales was driven by higher aftermarket volume, as well as favorable OE mix in Large Commercial Engines. The increase in military sales was driven by higher sustainment volume across the F135 and F117 platforms, as well as higher development volume driven by the F135 Engine Core Upgrade program.  

Pratt & Whitney reported operating profit of $557 million, up versus the prior year. Operationally, the increase was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and military volume. Favorable mix and lower OE delivery volume in Large Commercial Engines were offset by higher production costs. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $597 million, was up 45 percent versus the prior year.

The prior year reported results included a charge related to the previously disclosed powder metal matter which reduced sales by $5,401 million and operating profit by $2,888 million.

Raytheon had third quarter 2024 reported sales of $6,386 million, down 1 percent versus prior year. Higher volume on land and air defense systems, including Global Patriot, NASAMS and counter-UAS programs, as well as higher volume on advanced technology programs was more than offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business completed in the first quarter of 2024 and lower volume on air and space defense systems. Excluding the impact of the divestiture, sales were up 5 percent versus prior year*.

Raytheon reported operating profit of $647 million, up 16 percent versus the prior year. Favorable mix, improved net productivity, and drop through on higher volume was partially offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $661 million was up 16 percent versus the prior year.

*Adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted effective tax rate and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
RTX Corporation ("RTX" or "the Company") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the Company's ongoing business performance. Other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. Certain non-GAAP financial adjustments are also described in this Appendix. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:

Non-GAAP measure	Definition
Adjusted net sales / Adjusted sales	Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding net significant and/or non-recurring items1 (hereinafter referred to as "net significant and/or non-recurring items").
Organic sales	Organic sales represents the change in consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin	Adjusted operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted operating profit margin represents adjusted operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted net sales.
Segment operating profit (loss) and margin	Segment operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure) excluding Acquisition Accounting Adjustments2, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment3, Corporate expenses and other unallocated items, and Eliminations and other. Segment operating profit margin represents segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of segment sales (net sales, excluding Eliminations and other).
Adjusted segment sales	Represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure) excluding eliminations and other and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin	Adjusted segment operating profit (loss) represents segment operating profit (loss) excluding restructuring costs, and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted segment operating profit margin represents adjusted segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted segment sales (adjusted net sales excluding Eliminations and other).
Adjusted net income	Adjusted net income represents net income (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted earnings per share (EPS)	Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Adjusted effective tax rate	Adjusted effective tax rate represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure), excluding the tax impact of restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.
Free cash flow	Free cash flow represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing RTX's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of RTX's common stock and distribution of earnings to shareowners.

1 Net significant and/or non-recurring items represent significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals.

2 Acquisition Accounting Adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.

3 The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment.

When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow, on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures, as described above, generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.

Non-GAAP Financial Adjustments

Non-GAAP Adjustments	Description
Charges related to a litigation matter	The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a net sales reduction of $57 million and a corresponding net operating profit reduction of $57 million related to the settlement of a customer litigation matter at Collins. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the settlement is considered unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Charge associated with initiating alternative titanium sources	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to the recognition of unfavorable purchase commitments and an impairment of contract fulfillment costs associated with initiating alternative titanium sources at Collins. These charges were recorded as a result of the Canadian government's imposition of new sanctions in February 2024, which included U.S.- and German-based Russian-owned entities from which we source titanium for use in our Canadian operations. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to the sanctions, incremental to similar costs incurred for reasons other than those related to the sanctions and has determined that the nature of the charge is considered significant and unusual, and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Powder Metal charge	The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $2.9 billion related to the Pratt powder metal matter during the third quarter of 2023. The charge is reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as a reduction of sales of $5.4 billion which was partially offset by a net reduction of cost of sales of $2.5 billion primarily representing our partners' 49% share of this charge. The charge includes the Company's current best estimate of expected customer compensation for the estimated duration of the disruption as well as the third quarter Estimate-at-Completion (EAC) adjustment impact of this matter to Pratt & Whitney's long-term maintenance contracts. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the powder metal matter, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than those related to the powder metal matter and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Charges related to a customer insolvency	The nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to a customer insolvency during the second quarter of 2023. The charge primarily relates to Contract assets and Customer financing assets exposures with the customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the charge is considered unusual and, therefore not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Expected settlement of a litigation matter	The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $34 million reflecting the expected settlement value relating to a litigation matter at Pratt and Whitney. Management has determined that the impact is directly attributable to the expected legal settlement and that the nature of the charge is considered non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Contract termination	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of 0.6 billion related to the anticipated termination of a fixed price development contract with a foreign customer at Raytheon. The charge includes the write-off of remaining contract assets and our best estimate of the expected settlement in conjunction with this termination. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to the expected termination, incremental to similar costs incurred for reasons other than those attributable to the termination and has determined that the nature of the pre-tax charge is considered significant and unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Gain on sale of business, net of transaction and other related costs	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a pre-tax gain, net of transaction and other related costs, of $0.4 billion associated with the completed sale of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services (CIS) business at Raytheon. Management has determined that the nature of the net gain on the divestiture is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Prior year impact from R&D capitalization IRS notice	The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $30 million and a tax expense increase of $8 million related to the 2022 impact of an IRS notice issued in September 2023 related to the capitalization of research and experimental expenditures for tax purposes. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the IRS notice and represents the impact to 2022, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than the tax law change and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Tax audit settlements	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes a tax benefit of $0.3 billion recognized as a result of the closure of the examination phase of multiple federal tax audits. In addition, there was a pre-tax charge of $68 million for the write-off of certain tax related indemnity receivables and a pre-tax gain on the reversal of $78 million of interest accruals, both directly associated with these tax audit settlements. Management has determined that the nature of these impacts related to the tax audit settlements is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Legal matters	The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes charges of $0.9 billion related to the expected resolution of several outstanding legal matters. The charge includes an additional accrual of $0.3 billion to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations of defective pricing claims for certain legacy Raytheon Company contracts entered into between 2011 and 2013 and in 2017; an additional accrual of $0.4 billion to resolve the previously disclosed criminal and civil government investigations of improper payments made by Raytheon Company and its joint venture, Thales-Raytheon Systems, in connection with certain Middle East contracts since 2012; and an accrual of $0.3 billion related to certain voluntarily disclosed export controls violations, primarily identified in connection with the integration of Rockwell Collins and, to a lesser extent, Raytheon Company, including certain violations expected to be resolved pursuant to a consent agreement with the Department of State. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to these legacy legal matters and that the nature of the charges are considered significant and unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Tax matters and related indemnification	The quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes the impact of a recent favorable international tax court ruling related to certain tax payments made by a previously separated entity. As a result of this ruling, and the expected reimbursement of international taxes to the previously separated entity, the Company will owe additional U.S. income tax of $0.2 billion and related interest. The Company recorded a pre-tax benefit of $0.2 billion to recognize recovery of the additional taxes and interest owed pursuant to a tax matters agreement entered into in connection with the separation. There was no net income impact in the third quarter of 2024 as a result of this adjustment. We also recognized an income tax benefit of $56 million in response to favorable U.S. Tax Court rulings issued to unrelated taxpayers, but with facts similar to ours. The nature of the tax item in the rulings is subject to the tax matters agreement with previously separated entities and therefore we recorded a pre-tax charge of $32 million for the indemnified amounts. Management has determined that the nature of these impacts to both pre-tax income and income tax expense is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
