Textron Reports First Quarter Financial Results
Updates 2014 Guidance to Include Acquisition of Beechcraft
Providence, Rhode Island — May 1, 2014 — Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported first quarter 2014 income from continuing operations of $0.31 per share, compared to $0.40 per share in the first quarter of 2013. On March 14, 2014, Textron completed its acquisition of Beechcraft and recorded acquisition and restructuring costs of $16 million. The acquisition reduced first quarter income from continuing operations by $0.05 per share as a result of acquisition, restructuring and applicable interest costs.
Total revenues in the quarter were $2.8 billion, approximately flat with the first quarter of 2013. Beechcraft was combined with Cessna to form a new reporting segment called Textron Aviation and contributed $101 million to revenues in the first quarter of 2014.
Segment profit in the quarter was $219 million, down $16 million from the first quarter of 2013.
First quarter 2014 manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions reflected a use of cash of $111 million compared to a use of cash of $425 million during the first quarter of 2013. The company contributed $17 million to its pension plans during the first quarter.
“Revenues at Textron Aviation and Industrial were up during the quarter, while revenues at Bell and Textron Systems were down, as we expected,” said Textron Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly. Donnelly continued, “Operationally, we achieved significant margin improvements at Textron Aviation, Textron Systems and Industrial, reflecting strong performance across these segments.”
Donnelly continued, “We were pleased that we were able to close our Beechcraft acquisition during the first quarter, as it gave us an early start on combining our capabilities and bringing the large installed base of Hawker and Beechcraft customers into the Textron family. Coupled with our margin improvements, we believe we have a good start to 2014.”
Share Repurchases
On February 5, 2014, the company repurchased 4.3 million shares of its outstanding common stock through an accelerated share repurchase agreement.
Outlook
The company estimates that it will record 2014 full-year Beechcraft restructuring costs of approximately $35 million and acquisition costs of $11 million. Including the impact of these costs and applicable interest costs, the estimated impact of the Beechcraft acquisition is to reduce 2014 results by $0.08 per share. On this basis, Textron now expects earnings per share from continuing operations will be in a range of $1.92 — $2.12.
Cash flow from continuing operations of the manufacturing group before pension contributions is still expected to be in a range of $600 - $700 million, as the Beechcraft acquisition is anticipated to be approximately cash neutral for the year.
First Quarter Segment Results
Textron Aviation
Revenues at Textron Aviation were up $77 million, reflecting the impact of the Beechcraft acquisition, higher jet deliveries and higher aftermarket sales, partially offset by a reduction in pre-owned sales and CitationAir revenues. Textron Aviation delivered eight King Air turboprops and 35 new jets in the quarter, up from 32 jets in last year’s first quarter.
Textron Aviation recorded a segment profit of $14 million in the first quarter compared to a segment loss of $8 million a year-ago, largely due to higher pricing and higher jet volumes.
Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the first quarter, which included $534 million of Beechcraft backlog, was $1.5 billion, compared to $1.0 billion at the end of 2013.
Bell
Bell revenues decreased $76 million, primarily the result of lower commercial and military aircraft deliveries partially offset by higher military product support volume. Bell delivered 8 V-22’s and 5 H-1’s in the quarter, compared to 9 V-22’s and 6 H-1’s in last year’s first quarter and delivered 34 commercial helicopters, down from 40 units last year.
Segment profit decreased $33 million, primarily reflecting an unfavorable mix of commercial aircraft deliveries and the lower volumes.
Bell backlog at the end of the first quarter was $6.3 billion, down $197 million from the end of 2013.
Textron Systems
Revenues at Textron Systems decreased $66 million, reflecting lower Unmanned Aircraft Systems and Marine and Land Systems volumes, partially offset by higher volume within Weapons and Sensors.
Segment profit increased $1 million reflecting favorable performance across most product lines, partially offset by lower volume.
Textron Systems’ backlog at the end of the first quarter was $2.8 billion, relatively flat with the end of 2013.
Industrial
Industrial revenues increased $70 million, primarily due to higher Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line volume, reflecting automotive industry demand in Europe and Asia, and the impact of acquisitions. Segment profit increased $9 million reflecting the higher volume.
Finance
Finance segment revenues and segment profit decreased $13 million and $15 million, respectively, primarily due to an impact from gains on the disposition of finance receivables held for sale during the first quarter of 2013.

Free cash flow is a measure generally used by investors, analysts and management to gauge a company’s ability to generate cash from operations in excess of that necessary to be reinvested to sustain and grow the business and fund its obligations. Our definition of Manufacturing free cash flow adjusts net cash from operating activities of continuing operations for dividends received from TFC, capital contributions provided under the Support Agreement and debt agreements, capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment and contributions to our pension plans. We believe that our calculation provides a relevant measure of liquidity and is a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund operations and obligations. This measure is not a financial measure under GAAP and should be used in conjunction with GAAP cash measures provided in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
