RTX Reports 2024 Results and Announces 2025 Outlook

Rhea-AI Summary

RTX reported strong Q4 2024 results with sales of $21.6 billion, up 9% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $1.54, up 19%. Full-year 2024 saw adjusted sales reach $80.8 billion, a 9% increase, with adjusted EPS of $5.73, up 13%.

The company's backlog stands at $218 billion, split between $125 billion commercial and $93 billion defense. RTX returned $3.7 billion to shareholders in 2024, bringing total returns since merger to over $33 billion.

For 2025, RTX projects adjusted sales of $83.0-84.0 billion with 4-6% organic growth, adjusted EPS of $6.00-6.15, and free cash flow of $7.0-7.5 billion. All three business segments - Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon - showed growth in Q4, with notable increases in defense and commercial aftermarket sales.

• Collins Aerospace commercial OE sales decreased 6%
• Pratt & Whitney reported $157 million charge related to customer bankruptcy

Insights

Financial Analyst

RTX's Q4 2024 performance reveals several compelling narratives that warrant investor attention. The standout metric is the operational execution across all three segments, with each achieving margin expansion - a rare feat in the aerospace and defense sector.

Key performance indicators signal robust health:

• The organic growth of 11% excluding divestitures demonstrates strong core business momentum
• Pratt & Whitney's remarkable 77% adjusted operating profit growth signals successful recovery from previous challenges
• Collins Aerospace's 17% increase in adjusted operating profit, despite OE headwinds, showcases effective cost management
• Raytheon's 10% organic growth (excluding divestitures) reflects strong defense demand

However, investors should note the cash flow dynamics. The 87% year-over-year decline in Q4 free cash flow to $492 million requires monitoring, though management's confident 2025 free cash flow guidance of $7.0-7.5 billion suggests this is temporary. The $3.7 billion capital return to shareholders in 2024 demonstrates commitment to shareholder returns while maintaining investment in growth.

Aerospace Industry Analyst

The segment performance reveals important industry dynamics that position RTX favorably for 2025. Three key trends emerge:

• The commercial aerospace recovery remains robust, with Collins reporting 12% aftermarket growth, indicating sustained air traffic recovery
• Defense segment momentum is accelerating, exemplified by Raytheon's growth in land and air defense systems, particularly in Global Patriot and NASAMS programs
• Production rate stability is improving, though Collins' 6% decrease in commercial OE signals ongoing supply chain optimization

The backlog composition is particularly telling - the $125 billion commercial backlog suggests multiple years of visibility, while the $93 billion defense backlog reflects strong international demand for air defense systems. The F135 Engine Core Upgrade program progress and increased F135 production volumes indicate strengthening positions in key military programs.

Collins Aerospace had fourth quarter 2024 reported sales of $7,537 million, up 6 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by a 13 percent increase in defense and a 12 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, partially offset by a 6 percent decrease in commercial OE. The increase in defense sales was driven by higher volume across multiple programs and platforms, including new programs awarded in 2024. The increase in commercial aftermarket sales was driven by continued growth in commercial air traffic, and the decrease in commercial OE sales was driven by lower narrow-body volume. Adjusted sales* of $7,537 million, were up 8 percent versus the prior year.

Collins Aerospace reported operating profit of $1,106 million, down 2 percent versus the prior year. This included a $155 million charge related to the impairment of contract fulfillment costs which was partially offset by a $99 million gain on the sale of the Hoist & Winch business. Q4 2023 included a benefit of $112 million from a customer settlement. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $1,207 million was up 17 percent versus the prior year. Operationally, the increase was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and defense volume, which was partially offset by lower commercial OE volume and unfavorable commercial OE mix.

Pratt & Whitney had fourth quarter 2024 reported and adjusted sales of $7,569 million, up 18 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by a 31 percent increase in commercial OE, a 17 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, and an 8 percent increase in military. The increase in commercial sales was driven by increased deliveries and favorable OE mix in Large Commercial Engines, and higher commercial aftermarket volume. The increase in military sales was driven by higher volume on F135 production, the F135 Engine Core Upgrade program, and F135 sustainment, which was partially offset by lower sustainment volume across legacy platforms, including the F100 and F117.  

Pratt & Whitney reported operating profit of $504 million, up 32 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by favorable volume and mix in Large Commercial Engines OE, favorable mix in Pratt Canada aftermarket, and drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and military volume. Pratt & Whitney also benefited from an approximately $70 million insurance recovery. Reported operating profit included a $157 million charge related to a customer bankruptcy. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $717 million, was up 77 percent versus the prior year.

Raytheon had fourth quarter 2024 reported and adjusted sales of $7,157 million, up 4 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by higher volume on land and air defense systems, including Global Patriot, NASAMS and counter-UAS programs, as well as higher volume from the restart of contracts with a Middle East customer. This was partially 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 10 percent versus the prior year*.

Raytheon reported operating profit of $824 million, up 36 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by drop through on higher volume, improved net productivity, and favorable mix which was partially offset by the impact from the divestiture of the Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business. Reported operating profit included a $102 million benefit related to reserve adjustments associated with the restart of contracts with a Middle East customer. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $728 million was up 18 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
Benefits related to litigation matters	The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net sales benefit of $112 million and $55 million, respectively and a corresponding net operating profit benefit of $119 million and $62 million, respectively related to the settlement of two customer litigation matters at Collins. Management has determined that the nature and significance of these settlements are considered unusual and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Segment and portfolio transformation and divestiture costs	The quarters and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 include certain segment and portfolio transformation costs incurred in connection with the 2023 completed segment realignment as well as separation costs incurred in advance of the completion of certain divestitures.
Charge associated with initiating alternative titanium sources	The twelve months ended December 31, 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.
Impairment of contract fulfillment costs	The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 include a net pre-tax charge of $0.2 billion related to an impairment of contract fulfillment costs as a result of a contract cancellation during the fourth quarter of 2024 at Collins. 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.
Powder Metal charge	The twelve months ended December 31, 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 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.
Charge related to a customer insolvency	The twelve months ended December 31, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $34 million reflecting the expected settlement value relating to a litigation matter at Pratt & 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.
Customer bankruptcy	The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 include a net pre-tax charge of approximately $0.2 billion related to a customer bankruptcy during the fourth quarter of 2024 at Pratt & Whitney. The charge primarily relates to contract asset 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.
Contract termination	The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax charge of $0.6 billion related to the termination of a fixed price development contract with a foreign customer at Raytheon. The charge includes the write-off of remaining contract assets and settlement with the customer. Management has determined that these impacts are directly attributable to the 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 quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a pre-tax gain, net of transaction and other related costs, of $0.1 billion associated with the completed sale of the Hoist & Winch business at Collins. The twelve months ended December 31, 2024 also 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 these net gains on the divestitures is considered significant and non-operational and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Middle East contracts restart adjustments	The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2024 includes a net operating profit benefit of $0.1 billion primarily related to reserve and contract loss provision adjustments as a result of restarting work under certain contracts with a Middle East customer. Management has determined that the nature and significance of the benefit is considered unusual, therefore not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
Prior year impact from R&D capitalization IRS notice	The quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2023 includes a net pre-tax charge of $9 million and $39 million, respectively and a tax expense increase of $5 million and $13 million, respectively 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 twelve months ended December 31, 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 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.
