Textron Reports First Quarter 2020 Results

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 30, 2020 — Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported first quarter 2020 net income of $0.22 per share, compared to $0.76 per share in the first quarter of 2019. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $0.35 per share for the first quarter of 2020, which excludes $39 million of pre-tax special charges ($0.13 per share, after-tax) recorded in the first quarter, related to the impairment of intangible assets at Textron Aviation and Industrial due to economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Our team is meeting the unprecedented challenges presented by this pandemic with a commitment to the health and safety of our employees and communities while meeting customer commitments,” said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly. “We have taken measures to reduce cost and conserve cash, including temporary plant shutdowns and employee furloughs at many of our commercial businesses. While the effects of COVID-19 on many of our end markets has been unfavorable, Bell and Textron Systems delivered higher revenue and strong margin performance for the quarter in their military businesses.”

Cash Flow

Net cash used by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group for the first quarter was $393 million, compared to $196 million of net cash used 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, reflected a use of cash of $430 million compared to a use of cash of $291 million last year.

First Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $872 million were down $262 million in the first quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $260 million, largely the result of lower Citation jet volume of $154 million and lower commercial turboprop volume of $99 million. The decrease in Citation jet and turboprop volume reflected a decline in demand related to the pandemic, disruption in our composite manufacturing production due to a plant accident that occurred in December 2019, and delays in the acceptance of aircraft related to COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Textron Aviation delivered 23 jets, down from 44 last year, and 16 commercial turboprops, down from 44 last year.

Segment profit was $3 million in the first quarter, down $103 million from a year ago, primarily due to the lower volume and the unfavorable impact of $23 million from performance, which includes $12 million of idle facility costs recognized in the first quarter of 2020 due to temporary manufacturing facility closures and employee furloughs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the first quarter was $1.4 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $823 million, up $84 million or 11% from last year, primarily on higher military volume, partially offset by lower commercial volume.

Bell delivered 15 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 30 last year.

Segment profit of $115 million was up $11 million, largely on higher military volume partially offset by the unfavorable impact of $8 million from performance and other. Performance and other included $25 million in lower net favorable program adjustments, partially offset by lower research and development costs.

Bell backlog at the end of the first quarter was $6.4 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $328 million, up $21 million or 7% from last year, primarily due to higher volume in most product lines.

Segment profit of $26 million was down $2 million from last year, as unfavorable performance was largely offset by the impact of higher volume.

Textron Systems’ backlog at the end of the first quarter was $1.4 billion.

Industrial

Industrial revenues were $740 million, a decrease of $172 million from last year, primarily related to lower volume and mix in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line from manufacturing facility closures related to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in China in January and expanded to European and North American locations by the end of the quarter.

Segment profit of $9 million was down $41 million from the first quarter of 2019, primarily related to the lower volume and mix. Industrial also realized approximately $13 million of unfavorable performance in the first quarter due to manufacturing facility closures and employee furloughs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, that was mostly offset by other favorable performance.

Finance

Finance segment revenues were down $3 million, and profit was down $3 million from last year’s first quarter.

Outlook

“Textron is well-prepared to handle this period of uncertainty. Our financial profile consists of ample liquidity and diversified revenue streams. We are confident in the actions we are taking during this downturn and we expect them to position us for success as we begin to exit this global shutdown,” said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly.

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 the entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. We utilize the following definition for the non-GAAP financial measure included in this release:

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share both exclude Special charges, net of taxes. 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.

Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions

Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions adjusts net cash from operating activities (GAAP) for the following:

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.
