Textron reported a solid second quarter in 2022, achieving earnings of $1.00 per share, up from $0.81 in Q2 2021. The company's aviation segment saw revenue growth to $1.3 billion, driven by higher aircraft sales and aftermarket services.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of the manufacturing group for the second quarter was $364 million, compared to $572 million last year. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, totaled $309 million for the second quarter, compared to $509 million last year.

In the quarter, Textron returned $282 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

Outlook

Textron reiterated its full year earnings per share expectation of $3.80 to $4.00. Textron now expects 2022 cash flow from continuing operations of the manufacturing group before pension contributions to be in a range of $800 to $900 million, up $100 million from the previous outlook.

Second Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.3 billion were up $123 million from the second quarter of 2021, largely due to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 48 jets in the quarter, up from 44 last year, and 35 commercial turboprops, up from 33 in last year's second quarter.

Segment profit was $155 million in the second quarter, up $59 million from a year ago, due to the impact from higher volume and mix of $25 million, a favorable impact from performance of $19 million and favorable pricing, net of inflation of $15 million.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the second quarter was $5.8 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $687 million, down $204 million from last year, due to lower military revenues of $170 million, primarily related to the H-1 program, and lower commercial revenues of $34 million.

Bell delivered 34 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 47 last year.

Segment profit of $63 million was down $47 million from last year's second quarter, primarily reflecting the lower volume and mix, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance of $16 million, which included lower operating expenses, partially offset by an unfavorable change in net program adjustments.

Bell backlog at the end of the second quarter was $5.3 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $293 million, down $40 million from last year's second quarter due to lower volume of $44 million, primarily reflecting the impact of the U.S. Army’s withdrawal from Afghanistan on our fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.

Segment profit of $42 million was down $6 million, compared with the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the lower volume and mix.

Textron Systems’ backlog at the end of the second quarter was $2.1 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $871 million, up $77 million from last year's second quarter, primarily due to a favorable impact from pricing and higher volume and mix, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line.

Segment profit of $41 million was up $9 million from the second quarter of 2021, primarily due to the higher volume and mix.

Textron eAviation

Textron eAviation segment revenues were $5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and segment loss was $8 million in the quarter.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were $14 million, and profit was $10 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
(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:

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share
Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share exclude special charges, net of tax. 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. The gain on disposition, net of tax is also excluded as it relates to a disposition in connection with our enterprise-wide restructuring plan, which resulted in the sale of the TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc. business.

Adjusted income from continuing operations - Non-GAAP	$	185		$	0.81		$	345		$	1.51

Manufacturing Cash Flow Before Pension Contributions
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.
