EPS from continuing operations of $1.07, up $0.14 from the fourth quarter of 2021
Full-year manufacturing net cash from continuing operating activities of $1.5 billion
Aviation backlog of $6.4 billion at year-end 2022, up $2.3 billion from year-end 2021
2023 full-year EPS outlook of $4.40 to $4.60, full year adjusted EPS non-GAAP outlook of $5.00 to $5.20

Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) today reported fourth quarter 2022 income from continuing operations of $1.07 per share, compared with $0.93, or $0.94 per share of adjusted income from continuing operations, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Full year 2022 income from continuing operations was $4.01 per share up from $3.30 in 2021.

"2022 was a strong year at Textron with solid revenue growth, order flow and execution at Aviation, new program awards at Systems, higher revenues and operating profit at Industrial and the contract award for the U.S. Army's Future Long Range Assault Aircraft program at Bell," 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 $1.2 billion for the full year, up $29 million from 2021.

In the quarter, Textron returned $228 million to shareholders through share repurchases. Full year 2022 share repurchases totaled $867 million.

Outlook

For 2023, Textron will begin reporting earnings per share on an adjusted basis to exclude LIFO inventory provision and intangible amortization expense, both non-cash items, effective with the first quarter 2023 financial results.

Textron is forecasting 2023 revenues of approximately $14.0 billion, up from $12.9 billion. Textron expects full-year 2023 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations will be in the range of $4.40 to $4.60, or $5.00 to $5.20 on an adjusted basis as described above, which is reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release.

The company is estimating net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group will be between $1.3 billion and $1.4 billion and manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure, will be between $0.9 billion and $1.0 billion, with planned pension contributions of about $50 million.

"The 2023 outlook reflects higher revenues, increased profit and operating margin expansion with a continuation of our growth strategy of ongoing investments in new products and programs to drive increases in long-term shareholder value," Donnelly concluded.

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.6 billion were up $223 million from the fourth quarter of 2021, reflecting higher volume and mix of $154 million and higher pricing of $69 million. The increase in volume and mix was largely due to higher Citation jet and defense volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 52 jets in the quarter, up from 46 last year, and 47 commercial turboprops, up from 43 last year.

Segment profit was $169 million in the fourth quarter, up $32 million from a year ago, reflecting a favorable impact from pricing, net of inflation of $29 million and higher volume and mix as described above, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $16 million from performance. Performance includes unfavorable manufacturing performance, largely related to inefficiencies from supply chain disruptions and increased staffing associated with higher production, partially offset by lower selling and administrative costs.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $6.4 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $816 million, down $42 million from last year's fourth quarter, reflecting lower military revenues primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares volume, partially offset by higher commercial revenues.

Bell delivered 71 commercial helicopters in the quarter, up from 59 last year.

Segment profit of $71 million was down $17 million from a year ago, primarily reflecting lower volume and mix, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance.

Bell backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $4.8 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $314 million, compared to $313 million in last year's fourth quarter.

Segment profit of $40 million was down $5 million from a year ago.

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

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $907 million, up $126 million from last year's fourth quarter, reflecting higher volume and mix of $95 million, and a $59 million favorable impact from pricing, largely in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of $28 million from foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Segment profit of $42 million was up $4 million from the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to higher volume and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from performance.

Textron eAviation

Textron eAviation segment revenues were $6 million and segment loss was $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, which reflected the operating results of Pipistrel along with research and development costs for initiatives related to the development of sustainable aviation solutions.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were $11 million, and profit was $5 million in the fourth quarter of 2022.

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 includes non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) and excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, special charges and gains/losses on major business dispositions. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

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		$	210	$	0.94		$	748		$	3.30

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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Outlook

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

2023 Outlook

Adjusted Income from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

In 2023, Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted diluted earnings per share will be modified to exclude the impact of LIFO inventory provision, net of tax and intangible asset amortization, net of tax because we do not consider these items to be directly related to the operating performance of our segments. LIFO inventory provision, net of tax 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, net of tax 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. The 2023 outlook below reflects these modifications to our presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures.
