PROVIDENCE, R.I.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported third quarter 2026 income from continuing operations of $1.56 per share, compared to $1.31 in the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, was $1.76 per share for the third quarter of 2026, compared to $1.55 per share in the third quarter of 2025.

"Textron delivered a strong quarter with $3.8 billion of revenue and $1.76 of adjusted EPS, as well as $418 million of manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions,” said Textron CEO Lisa M. Atherton. "Higher jet deliveries at Textron Aviation and program execution at Textron Systems drove double-digit revenue growth at each of these segments. Bell continued to make significant operational progress on the MV-75 Cheyenne program."

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of the manufacturing group for the third quarter was $512 million, compared to $348 million in last year's third quarter. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, totaled $418 million for the third quarter, compared to $281 million in last year's third quarter.

In the quarter, Textron returned $239 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

Outlook

Textron raised its expectation for full-year 2026 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations to be in the range of $5.64 to $5.74, up from our previous outlook of $5.39 to $5.59. Textron also raised its expectation for full-year 2026 adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations, which is reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, to be in the range of $6.55 to $6.65, up from our previous range of $6.40 to $6.60. Textron also raised its expectation for manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure, to be in the range of $800 million to $900 million, up from $700 million to $800 million.

Our updated outlook reflects the U.S. Army's receipt of Congressional approval for the ATR request related to the MV-75 Cheyenne program and the associated contract modifications obligating such funding.

Third Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Textron Aviation’s revenues were $1.7 billion, up 14%, or $201 million from last year's third quarter, 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. The increase in aftermarket parts and services revenues was due to higher volume and pricing.

Textron Aviation delivered 51 jets in the quarter, compared with 42 in the third quarter of 2025, and 32 commercial turboprops, down from 39 in last year's third quarter.

Segment profit was $179 million in the third quarter, up $7 million, or 4% from a year ago, primarily due to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from manufacturing inefficiencies.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the third quarter was $8.0 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $933 million, down 9%, or $93 million from the third quarter of 2025. The revenue decrease in the quarter was primarily driven by lower military revenues of $59 million, largely due to lower volume on the MV-75 program. Commercial helicopters, parts and services revenues decreased $34 million compared to the third quarter of 2025, largely due to lower volume and mix.

Bell delivered 29 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 30 in last year's third quarter.

Segment profit of $76 million was down $16 million, or 17%, from last year's third quarter, primarily due to lower volume and mix.

Bell backlog at the end of the third quarter was $7.6 billion.

Textron Systems

Textron Systems revenues were $360 million, up 16%, or $50 million from the third quarter of 2025, largely due to higher volume on armored land vehicles and military training and support services provided by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC).

Segment profit of $57 million was up $10 million, or 21%, compared with the third quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher volume, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expense, reflecting a net $10 million decrease in a gain associated with the early termination of a vendor contract in the third quarter of 2025.

Textron Systems backlog at the end of the third quarter was $3.5 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $765 million, up 1%, or $4 million from the third quarter of 2025.

Textron Specialized Vehicles' revenues increased $26 million, or 9%, reflecting higher volume and mix and a favorable impact from pricing. Kautex revenues decreased $22 million, or 5%, largely reflecting lower volume and mix, partially offset by higher pricing.

Segment profit of $38 million was up $7 million, or 23%, from the third quarter of 2025.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were $13 million, and segment profit was $5 million in the third quarter of 2026, as compared to revenues of $26 million and segment profit of $18 million in the third quarter of 2025. The decrease in revenues and segment profit primarily reflects $11 million of gains recognized in the third quarter of 2025 from the disposition of non-captive assets.

(a)		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, is reported within corporate expenses. The prior period has been recast to reflect the segment realignment.
(b)		Segment profit, adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Outlook" attached to this release.
(c)		In the second quarter of 2025, we initiated restructuring actions to reduce operating expenses in the Textron Systems segment in connection with the termination of certain U.S government development programs. We incurred $8 million in special charges, which included $5 million of severance costs and $3 million of contract termination costs. These charges were partially offset by a pre-tax gain of $4 million recognized in the second quarter of 2025 related to the sale of the Powersports business.
(d)		Income tax on adjustments is calculated using the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% plus a blended state tax rate.

TEXTRON INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Outlook
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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

Segment Profit

Segment profit is an important measure used by our chief operating decision maker for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; certain corporate expenses; gains/losses on major business dispositions; and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Outlook

Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude LIFO inventory provision, net of tax; intangible asset amortization, net of tax; special charges, net of tax; and gains/losses on major business dispositions, net of tax. LIFO inventory provision is excluded to reflect the impact on net income as if our inventories were accounted for using a FIFO basis instead of a LIFO basis in order to improve comparability with other companies in our industry who have not elected to use the LIFO inventory costing method. Intangible asset amortization is excluded to improve comparability as the impact of such amortization can vary substantially from company to company depending upon the nature and extent of acquisitions and exclusion of this expense is consistent with the presentation of non-GAAP measures provided by other companies within our industry. Management believes that it is important for investors to understand that these intangible assets were recorded as part of purchase accounting and contribute to revenue generation. We consider items recorded in special charges, such as enterprise-wide restructuring, certain asset impairment charges, and acquisition-related restructuring, integration and transaction costs, to be of a non-recurring nature that is not indicative of ongoing operations.

Manufacturing Cash Flow Before Pension Contributions and Outlook

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

• Deducts capital expenditures and includes proceeds from insurance recoveries and the sale of property, plant and equipment to arrive at the net capital investment required to support ongoing manufacturing operations;
• Excludes dividends received from Textron Financial Corporation (TFC) and capital contributions to TFC provided under the Support Agreement and debt agreements as these cash flows are not representative of manufacturing operations;
• Adds back pension contributions as we consider our pension obligations to be debt-like liabilities. Additionally, these contributions can fluctuate significantly from period to period and we believe that they are not representative of cash used by our manufacturing operations during the period.

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

Key Terms

non-gaap financial

Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

gaap financial

GAAP, or Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, are a set of standardized rules and guidelines that companies follow when preparing their financial statements. They ensure consistency, transparency, and comparability across different companies, making it easier for investors to understand and compare financial information accurately. This helps investors make informed decisions based on trustworthy and uniform financial reports.
