Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) today reported first quarter 2026 net income of $1.25 per share, compared to $1.13 in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, was $1.45 per share for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $1.28 per share in the first quarter of 2025.

"Textron delivered double-digit revenue and EPS growth in the quarter," said Textron CEO Lisa M. Atherton. "Strong growth in Aviation deliveries, continued scaling of the MV-75 Cheyenne at Bell, excellent execution at Systems, and good performance at Industrial all contributed to a successful quarter."

Cash Flow

Net cash used by operating activities of the manufacturing group for the first quarter was $107 million, compared to a cash use of $114 million in last year's first quarter. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, reflected a use of cash of $228 million for the first quarter, compared to a cash use of $158 million in last year's first quarter.

In the quarter, Textron returned $168 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

Intent to Separate its Industrial Segment

In a separate press release issued today, Textron announced its intent to separate its Industrial segment from the Company's core aerospace and defense businesses to enhance the strategic and operational focus of each platform and drive long-term value for stakeholders. Textron intends to explore multiple paths to effect the planned separation of its Industrial segment, including but not limited to a sale of the Industrial businesses or a tax-free separation into a standalone, publicly traded company.

First Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Textron Aviation's revenues were $1.5 billion, up 22%, or $269 million from last year's first quarter, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $221 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $48 million. The increase in aircraft revenues was primarily due to higher volume and mix, largely reflecting higher Citation jet and commercial turboprop volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 37 jets in the quarter, up from 31 in the first quarter of 2025, and 35 commercial turboprops, up from 30 in last year's first quarter.

Segment profit was $154 million in the first quarter, up $32 million, or 26% from a year ago, primarily due to higher aircraft volume and mix, partially offset by higher selling and administrative expense and warranty costs.

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

Bell

Bell revenues were $1.1 billion, up 9%, or $87 million from the first quarter of 2025. The revenue increase in the quarter was driven by higher military revenues of $161 million, largely due to higher volume on the MV-75 Cheyenne program, partially offset by lower volume on V-22 production and on military sustainment programs. Commercial helicopters, parts and services revenues decreased $74 million compared to the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower volume and mix.

Bell delivered 20 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 29 in last year's first quarter.

Segment profit of $72 million was down $18 million from last year's first quarter, largely reflecting an unfavorable impact from the mix of military programs and lower commercial volume and mix.

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

Textron Systems

Textron Systems revenues were $338 million, up 13%, or $39 million from the first quarter of 2025, largely due to higher volume on the Ship-to-Shore Connector program and military training and support services provided by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (ATAC), partially offset by lower net volume on other programs.

Segment profit of $42 million was up $4 million, compared with the first quarter of 2025, largely due to higher net volume.

Textron Systems backlog at the end of the first quarter was $3.6 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $786 million, down 1%, or $6 million from the first quarter of 2025.

Textron Specialized Vehicles' revenues decreased $42 million, largely reflecting an impact of $55 million from the disposition of the Powersports business in April 2025. Kautex revenues increased $36 million, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations and higher volume and mix.

Segment profit of $40 million was up $10 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to manufacturing efficiencies, which included the benefit of cost reductions resulting from prior year restructuring activities.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were $16 million, and profit was $12 million in the first quarter of 2026, as compared to segment revenues of $16 million and profit of $10 million in the first quarter of 2025.

(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 is 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 net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures as defined in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Outlook" attached to this release.

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 Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share and Outlook

Adjusted net income 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 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Outlook (Continued)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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.
