Revenue growth of $285 million, up 7.6% from prior year

•

The new Citation Longitude enters service with 13 aircraft deliveries in the quarter

•

EPS of $0.87; adjusted EPS of $1.11, excluding fourth quarter special charges

Providence, Rhode Island – January 29, 2020 – Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported fourth quarter 2019 net income of $0.87 per share. Adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, was $1.11 per share for the fourth quarter of 2019, compared to $1.15 per share in the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted net income for 2019 excludes $72 million of pre-tax special charges ($0.24 per share, after-tax) recorded in the fourth quarter, primarily related to restructuring activities announced in December 2019.

 

Full-year 2019 net income was $3.50 per share. Full-year 2019 adjusted net income, a non-GAAP measure, was $3.74 per share, up from $3.34 in 2018.

 

“Textron Aviation saw double digit revenue growth in the quarter driven largely by initial deliveries of our new Citation Longitude, reflecting our continued investment in new products,” said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly. “We also saw growth from strong commercial volume at Bell.”

 

Cash Flow

 

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group for the full year was $960 million, compared to $1,127 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, was $642 million compared to $784 million last year.

 

For the full year, Textron returned $503 million to shareholders through share repurchases.

 

Outlook

 

Textron is forecasting 2020 revenues of approximately $14 billion, up from $13.6 billion. Textron expects full-year 2020 earnings per share will be in the range of $3.50 to $3.70.

 

The company is estimating net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group will be between $1,010 million and $1,110 million 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.

 

 

Fourth Quarter Segment Results

 

Textron Aviation

 

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.7 billion were up 11%, primarily due to higher volume and mix, largely reflecting the Longitude’s entry into service.

 

Textron Aviation delivered 71 jets, up from 63 last year, and 59 commercial turboprops, down from 67 last year.

 

Segment profit was $134 million in the fourth quarter, down from $170 million a year ago, primarily due to the mix of products sold and an unfavorable impact from inflation, net of pricing.

 

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $1.7 billion.

 

Bell

 

Bell revenues were $961 million, up 16% from $827 million last year, primarily on higher commercial volume.

 

Bell delivered 76 commercial helicopters in the quarter, up from 46 last year.

 

Segment profit of $118 million was up $10 million, largely on the higher commercial volume.

 

Bell backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $6.9 billion.

 

Textron Systems

 

Revenues at Textron Systems were $399 million, up 16% from $345 million last year, primarily due to higher volume.

 

Segment profit of $33 million was down from $37 million last year, due to unfavorable performance, partially offset by higher volume and mix.

 

Textron Systems’ backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $1.2 billion.

 

Industrial

 

Industrial revenues were $927 million, a decrease of $81 million from last year, largely related to lower volume and mix primarily at Textron Specialized Vehicles, principally reflecting a shift in the timing of snow sales to the third quarter of 2019.

 

Segment profit was down $29 million from the fourth quarter of 2018, largely due to volume and mix at Kautex and the lower volume at Textron Specialized Vehicles, partially offset by favorable performance.

 

Finance

 

Finance segment revenues were up $1 million, and profit was up $2 million from last year’s fourth quarter.

  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, Gain on business disposition, net of taxes, and the income tax benefit resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act"). We consider items recorded in Special charges such as enterprise-wide restructuring 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 business disposition is not considered indicative of ongoing operations as it is a significant one-time transaction related to the sale of our Tools and Test product line. In addition, the impact from the Tax Act is not considered to be indicative of ongoing operations since it represents a one-time adjustment related to a significant tax reform of a non-recurring nature.

                               

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 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.

•  Excludes taxes paid related to the gain realized in 2018 on the Tools and Test business disposition. We have made this adjustment to the non-GAAP measure because we believe this use of cash is not representative of cash used by our manufacturing operations.

 

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.
