Aviation backlog $4.1 billion at year-end, up $655 million in the quarter and $2.5 billion full year
Full Year net cash from operating activities of $1.5 billion
2022 full-year EPS outlook of $3.80 to $4.00

Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) today reported fourth quarter 2021 income from continuing operations of $0.93 per share. Adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, was $0.94 per share for the fourth quarter of 2021, compared to $1.06 per share in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Full year 2021 income from continuing operations was $3.30 per share. Full year 2021 adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure, was also $3.30 per share, up from $2.07 in 2020.

"2021 was a solid year for Textron with strong order flow and execution at Aviation, continued progress on Future Vertical Lift programs at Bell, strong execution and margin performance at Systems, and higher revenues and operating profit at Industrial," said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly.

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group for the full year was $1.5 billion. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, totaled $1.1 billion for the full year, up from $596 million in 2020.

In the quarter, Textron returned $335 million to shareholders through share repurchases. Full year 2021 share repurchases totaled $921 million.

Share Repurchase Plan

On January 25, 2022, Textron's Board of Directors approved a new authorization for the repurchase of up to 25 million shares, under which the company intends to purchase shares to offset the impact of dilution from stock-based compensation and benefit plans and for opportunistic capital management purposes.

Outlook

Textron is forecasting 2022 revenues of approximately $13.3 billion, up from $12.4 billion. Textron expects full-year 2022 earnings per share will be in the range of $3.80 to $4.00.

The company is estimating net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group will be between $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion and manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure, will be between $700 million and $800 million, with planned pension contributions of about $50 million.

"Our outlook reflects continued momentum in our commercial businesses and ongoing investment in new products to increase long-term shareholder value," Donnelly concludes.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.4 billion were down $201 million from the fourth quarter of 2020, largely due to lower aircraft volume, partially offset by higher aftermarket volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 46 jets in the quarter, down from 61 last year, and 43 commercial turboprops, down from 61 last year.

Segment profit was $137 million in the fourth quarter, up $29 million from a year ago, largely due to favorable pricing, net of inflation, of $21 million and improved manufacturing performance.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $4.1 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $858 million, down $13 million from last year, reflecting lower military revenues partially offset by higher commercial revenues.

Bell delivered 59 commercial helicopters in the quarter, up from 57 last year.

Segment profit of $88 million was down $22 million, primarily due to lower military volume and mix.

Bell backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $3.9 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $313 million, down $44 million from last year's fourth quarter due to lower volume, which included the impact from the U.S. Army's withdrawal from Afghanistan on the segment's fee-for-service contracts.

Segment profit of $45 million was down $4 million from a year ago, largely due to the lower volume.

Textron Systems' backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $2.1 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $781 million, down $85 million from last year, reflecting lower volume and mix of $133 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line reflecting order disruptions related to the global auto OEM supply chain shortages, partially offset by a favorable impact of $50 million from pricing, largely in the Specialized Vehicles product line.

Segment profit of $38 million was down $17 million from the fourth quarter of 2020, primarily due to the lower volume and mix, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance of $15 million.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were $11 million, and profit was $2 million.

(a)		In 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The restructuring plan primarily impacted the TRU Simulation + Training business within the Textron Systems segment and the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments. In connection with this plan, we incurred special charges of $5 million and $25 million for the three and twelve months ended January 1, 2022, and $23 million and $108 million for the three and twelve months ended January 2, 2021. Special charges for the twelve months ended January 2, 2021 also included the impairment of indefinite-lived trade name intangible assets totaling $39 million, primarily in the Textron Aviation segment.

(b)		On January 25, 2021, we completed the sale of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc. which resulted in an after-tax gain of $17 million.

(c)		In connection with the restructuring plan described above, we ceased manufacturing at TRU's facility in Montreal, Canada, resulting in the production suspension of our commercial air transport simulators. As a result of this action and market conditions, we recorded a $55 million charge in the second quarter of 2020 to write-down the related inventory to its net realizable value. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we reached a definitive agreement to sell TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc. which resulted in the recognition of an $8 million tax benefit.

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

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. In addition, we have excluded certain impacts of the enterprise-wide restructuring plan on TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc. (TRU Canada) that are not included within special charges, but are of a non-recurring nature and are not indicative of ongoing operations. At TRU Canada, an inventory charge is excluded as it relates to the write-down of inventory in connection with an action taken under the restructuring plan. Due to the substantial decline in demand and order cancellations for flight simulators resulting from the impact of the pandemic on the commercial air transportation business, we ceased manufacturing at TRU Canada's Montreal facility, resulting in the production suspension of its commercial air transport simulators. As a result of this action and market conditions, the related inventory was written down to its net realizable value in the second quarter of 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we reached a definitive agreement to sell TRU Canada, which resulted in the recognition of an $8 million tax benefit, and in the first quarter of 2021, TRU Canada was sold. The tax benefit and the after-tax gain are both excluded as they were incurred in connection with the enterprise-wide restructuring plan.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Continued)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

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.
