ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RTX (NYSE: RTX) reported third quarter 2023 results.

Third quarter 2023

• Reported sales of $13.5 billion, down 21 percent versus prior year, reflecting the impact of the previously disclosed Pratt powder metal matter
• Adjusted sales* of $19.0 billion, up 12 percent versus prior year
• GAAP EPS from continuing operations was a loss of $0.68, which reflects $1.53 charge from the Pratt powder metal matter and $0.40 of acquisition accounting adjustments and other net significant and/or non-recurring charges
• Adjusted EPS* of $1.25, up 3 percent versus prior year
• Operating cash flow from continuing operations of $3.3 billion; Free cash flow* of $2.8 billion
• Company backlog of $190 billion; including $115 billion of commercial and $75 billion of defense
• Repurchased $1.4 billion of RTX shares

Updates outlook for full year 2023

• Reported sales of approximately $68.5 billion, up from $67.5 - $68.5 billion
• Adjusted sales* of approximately $74.0 billion, up from $73.0 - $74.0 billion
• Adjusted EPS* of $4.98 - $5.02 from $4.95 - $5.05
• Free cash flow* of approximately $4.8 billion, up from approximately $4.3 billion
• Share repurchase spending of approximately $12.8 billion of RTX shares, up from $3.0 billion

"We have made significant progress on our assessment of the Pratt & Whitney powder metal manufacturing matter and expect the financial impact to be in line with the previously disclosed charge," said RTX Chairman and CEO Greg Hayes. "We are now focused on executing on our fleet management plans and are working relentlessly to mitigate further disruption to our customers. We do not expect any significant future incremental impact as a result of these fleet management plans."

"The historic demand across our commercial aerospace and defense businesses drove 12 percent organic sales* growth during the third quarter and led to another record backlog of $190 billion. We are on track to deliver on our updated financial commitments for 2023 including our increased sales and free cash flow* outlook, as well as the tightened range for adjusted EPS* of $4.98 to $5.02 per share."

"Our industry leading franchises in Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon, position RTX to deliver significant long-term value for our shareowners. Today, RTX shares are an attractive investment opportunity and we are immediately proceeding with a $10 billion accelerated share repurchase program and increasing our capital return commitment through 2025 to $36 - $37 billion."

The company also announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business within its Raytheon segment. The sale price is approximately $1.3 billion and is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. 

Accelerated Share Repurchase Program

• The RTX board of directors has approved a $10 billion accelerated share repurchase program commencing almost immediately
• This will result in an increase to RTX's post-merger shareowner capital return commitment to $36 - $37 billion through 2025, up from the prior range of $33 - $35 billion
• The program will be funded through a combination of short and long-term debt, with deleveraging to begin in 2024 in part supported by proceeds from the previously announced dispositions including Collins' actuation and flight control business in July, as well as Raytheon's Cybersecurity, Intelligence and Services business

Segment Results
Beginning in Q3 2023, we are operating in three business segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. Segment information included below is reflective of the new structure and prior period information has been recast to conform to our current period presentation.

Collins Aerospace

	3rd Quarter
($ in millions)	2023		2022	% Change
Reported
Sales	$   6,629		$   5,718	16 %
Operating Profit	$      903		$      742	22 %
ROS	13.6 %		13.0 %	60	bps
Adjusted*
Sales	$   6,686		$   5,718	17 %
Operating Profit	$   1,043		$      756	38 %
ROS	15.6 %		13.2 %	240	bps

Collins Aerospace had third quarter 2023 reported sales of $6,629 million, up 16 percent versus the prior year. The increase in sales was driven by a 30 percent increase in commercial aftermarket and a 27 percent increase in commercial OE, which was partially offset by a 1 percent decrease in military. The increase in commercial sales was driven primarily by strong demand across commercial aerospace end markets, which resulted in higher flight hours and higher OE production rates. The decrease in military sales was driven primarily due to the timing of deliveries.

Collins Aerospace recorded operating profit of $903 million, up 22 percent versus the prior year. The increase in operating profit was primarily driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and OE volume, partially offset by higher production costs, unfavorable military mix, and higher SG&A. Q3 2023 operating profit included a $57 million charge related to a litigation matter and $83 million related to restructuring and other significant and/or non-recurring items. On an adjusted basis, operating profit* of $1,043 million was up 38 percent versus the prior year.

Pratt & Whitney

	3rd Quarter
($ in millions)	2023		2022	% Change
Reported
Sales	$      926		$   5,380	(83) %
Operating Profit (Loss)	$ (2,482)		$      316	NM

Sales	$   6,327		$   5,380	18 %
Operating Profit	$      413		$      318	30 %
ROS	6.5 %		5.9 %	60	bps

NM = Not Meaningful

Pratt & Whitney had third quarter 2023 reported sales of $926 million, down 83 percent versus the prior year. Q3 2023 sales included the impact of a charge related to the powder metal matter of $5,401 million. The remaining change was driven by a 25 percent increase in commercial OE, a 21 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, and a 7 percent increase in military sales. The increase in commercial sales was primarily due to higher volume and content, and favorable mix across commercial aftermarket, as well as favorable OE volume and mix in Large Commercial Engines. The increase in military sales was driven by higher F135 development and sustainment volume. Adjusted sales* of $6,327 million, were up 18 percent versus the prior year.

Pratt & Whitney recorded an operating loss of $2,482 million, down $2,798 million versus the prior year. Q3 2023 operating loss included the impact of a charge related to the powder metal matter of $2,888 million. Excluding the impact of the powder metal matter and other significant and/or non-recurring items, Pratt & Whitney recorded adjusted operating profit* of $413 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 30 percent versus the prior year. The increase in adjusted operating profit* was primarily driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket sales which was partially offset by higher commercial OE volume, higher production costs, unfavorable military mix, and higher R&D expenses.

Raytheon

	3rd Quarter
($ in millions)	2023		2022	% Change
Reported
Sales	$   6,472		$   6,308	3 %
Operating Profit	$      560		$      686	(18) %

Sales	$   6,472		$   6,308	3 %
Operating Profit	$      570		$      694	(18) %
ROS	8.8 %		11.0 %	(220)	bps

Raytheon had third quarter 2023 reported sales of $6,472 million, up 3 percent versus prior year. The increase in sales was primarily driven by higher volume in Naval Power, including AIM-9X, and Advanced Technology classified programs.

Raytheon recorded operating profit of $560 million, down 18 percent versus the prior year. The decrease in operating profit was driven by higher volume on lower margin programs and lower net program efficiencies, including additional headwind on certain fixed price development programs. Raytheon recorded adjusted operating profit* of $570 million, down 18 percent versus the prior year.

Use and Definitions of 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. Moreover, 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.

Adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted net sales represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals (hereinafter referred to as "net significant and/or non-recurring items"). 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) 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) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure) excluding Acquisition Accounting Adjustments, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment, 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 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). 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.

Adjusted net income represents net income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items. For the business segments, when applicable, adjustments of net sales similarly reflect continuing operations (a GAAP measure) excluding net significant and/or non-recurring items. Organic sales for the business segments similarly excludes the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, and net significant and/or non-recurring items, and adjustments of operating profit (loss) and operating profit margins (also referred to as return on sales ("ROS")) similarly reflect continuing operations, excluding restructuring, acquisition accounting adjustments and net significant and/or non-recurring items.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that 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.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit margin, adjusted EPS 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 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.

(1)	Total net significant and/or non-recurring items in the table above for 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.
(2)	Total net significant and/or non-recurring items in the table above for 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.
(3)	Total net significant and/or non-recurring items in the table above for 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 resulting from the September 8, 2023 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Treasury issued Notice 2023-63 ("IRS notice") 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 the prior year, 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.
(4)	Total net significant and/or non-recurring items in the table above for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.3 billion related to the impact of the sanctions imposed upon Russia in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, primarily consisting of charges related to increased estimates for credit losses on both our accounts receivables and contract assets, inventory reserves, impairment of customer financing assets for products under lease and contract fulfillment costs, and recognition of supplier obligations. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the sanctions, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than the sanctions and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

(5)	The computation of reported diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, because their effect was antidilutive in the quarter ended September 30, 2023 due to the reported loss from operations. On an adjusted basis, the Company reported income from continuing operations and the dilutive effect of such awards is included in the calculation of Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share.

Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the IRS notice and represents the impact to the prior year, 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.
(4)	Net significant and/or non-recurring items in the table above for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes a net pre-tax charge of $0.3 billion related to the impact of the sanctions imposed upon Russia in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict, primarily consisting of charges related to increased estimates for credit losses on both our accounts receivables and contract assets, inventory reserves, impairment of customer financing assets for products under lease and contract fulfillment costs, and recognition of supplier obligations. Management has determined that these items are directly attributable to the sanctions, incremental to similar costs (or income) incurred for reasons other than the sanctions and not expected to recur, and therefore, not indicative of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

*Adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for 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 from continuing operations and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to the unavailability of items for exclusion from the GAAP measure (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). We are unable to address the probable significance of this information, the variability of which may have a significant impact on future GAAP results. See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
