Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Basis of Presentation Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments. The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance. To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group. Use of Estimates We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined. During 2015 and 2014, we changed our estimates of revenues and costs on certain long-term contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. These changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 by $14 million and $10 million, respectively, ($9 million and $6 million after tax, or $0.03 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively). For the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $20 million and $25 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $6 million and $15 million, respectively. The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 by $68 million and $69 million, respectively, ($43 million after tax, or $0.15 per diluted share for both periods). For the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $93 million and $90 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $25 million and $21 million, respectively. Gross favorable program profit adjustments for the first nine months of 2014 included $16 million related to the settlement of the System Development and Demonstration phase of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program, which was terminated in October 2008. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, that outlines a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard to the beginning of 2018 for public companies, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017. The new standard may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings at the effective date for those contracts. We are currently evaluating the impacts of adoption on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures, along with the implementation approach to be used.

We determined that a curtailment had occurred in Bell’s pension plan as a result of this reduction, which triggered a remeasurement of the projected benefit obligation. We remeasured Bell’s pension plan incorporating a 50 basis-point increase in the discount rate to 4.75%, while other assumptions remained consistent with year-end. The remeasurement reduced our unrealized losses by approximately $98 million which was recorded in other comprehensive income in the second quarter of 2015.

Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share	Note 3. Earnings Per Share We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period. Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Diluted EPS considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, including stock options. In addition, diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014 includes the impact of the initial delivery of shares under an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement (ASR), which was settled in December 2014 as disclosed in Note 9 of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In thousands) October 3 , 2015 September 27, 2014 October 3, 2015 September 27, 2014 Basic weighted-average shares outstanding Dilutive effect of: Stock options ASR — — Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding Stock options to purchase 4 million and 2 million of common shares outstanding are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For both the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, stock options to purchase 2 million of common shares outstanding are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted average shares, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Finance Receivables Finance receivables are presented in the following table: (In millions) October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 Finance receivables * $ $ Allowance for losses ) ) Total finance receivables, net $ $ * Includes finance receivables held for sale of $32 million and $35 million at October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, respectively. Credit Quality Indicators and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to estimated collateral value and the financial strength of individual borrowers and guarantors. Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual. We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. Recognition of interest income is suspended for these accounts and all cash collections are used to reduce the net investment balance. We resume the accrual of interest when the loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan or, if a loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the terms of the modification, provided we conclude that collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful. Previously suspended interest income is recognized at that time. Accounts are classified as watchlist when credit quality indicators have deteriorated as compared with typical underwriting criteria, and we believe collection of full principal and interest is probable but not certain. All other finance receivables that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing. Finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators discussed above are summarized as follows: (In millions) October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 Performing $ $ Watchlist Nonaccrual Total $ $ Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables % % We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our finance receivables. In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due. If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category. Finance receivables by delinquency aging category are summarized in the table below: (In millions) October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 Less than 31 days past due $ $ 31-60 days past due 61-90 days past due Over 90 days past due Total $ $ 60 + days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables % % Impaired Loans On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual finance receivables for impairment in non-homogeneous portfolios and larger balance accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios. A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement based on our review of the credit quality indicators discussed above. Impaired finance receivables include both nonaccrual accounts and accounts for which full collection of principal and interest remains probable, but the account’s original terms have been, or are expected to be, significantly modified. If the modification specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than a market rate for a finance receivable with comparable risk, the account is not considered impaired in years subsequent to the modification. Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not significant in the first nine months of 2015 or 2014. A summary of impaired finance receivables, excluding leveraged leases, and the average recorded investment is provided below: (In millions) October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 Recorded investment: Impaired loans with related allowance for losses $ $ Impaired loans with no related allowance for losses Total $ $ Unpaid principal balance $ $ Allowance for losses on impaired loans Average recorded investment A summary of the allowance for losses on finance receivables that are evaluated on an individual basis and on a collective basis is provided below. The finance receivables included in the table below specifically exclude leveraged leases in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (In millions) October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 Allowance based on collective evaluation $ $ Allowance based on individual evaluation Finance receivables evaluated collectively $ $ Finance receivables evaluated individually Allowance for Losses We maintain an allowance for losses on finance receivables at a level considered adequate to cover inherent losses in the portfolio based on management’s evaluation. For larger balance accounts specifically identified as impaired, a reserve is established based on comparing the expected future cash flows, discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to its carrying amount. The expected future cash flows consider collateral value; financial performance and liquidity of our borrower; existence and financial strength of guarantors; estimated recovery costs, including legal expenses; and costs associated with the repossession and eventual disposal of collateral. When there is a range of potential outcomes, we perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the potential outcomes based on their relative likelihood of occurrence. The evaluation of our portfolio is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results. While our analysis is specific to each individual account, critical factors included in this analysis include industry valuation guides, age and physical condition of the collateral, payment history and existence and financial strength of guarantors. We also establish an allowance for losses to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the portfolio. This allowance is established as a percentage of non-recourse finance receivables, which have not been identified as requiring specific reserves. The percentage is based on a combination of factors, including historical loss experience, current delinquency and default trends, collateral values and both general economic and specific industry trends. Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the date the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received for six months, unless management deems the receivable collectible.

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements	Note 7. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability into a three-tier fair value hierarchy. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions. Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2. Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost effective to obtain. Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign currency exchange contracts to manage this volatility. Our foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2. At October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $394 million and $696 million, respectively. At October 3, 2015, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $12 million asset and a $31 million liability. At January 3, 2015, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $16 million asset and a $26 million liability. We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts which have maturities of no more than three years. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses. At October 3, 2015, we had a net deferred loss of $22 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges. Net gains and losses recognized in earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on cash flow hedges, including gains and losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not significant in the periods presented. We hedge our net investment position in major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of a net investment. We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges. Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, were not significant in the periods presented. Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis During the periods ended October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, the Finance group’s impaired nonaccrual finance receivables of $44 million and $49 million, respectively, were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables represent assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral. For impaired nonaccrual finance receivables secured by aviation assets, the fair values of collateral are determined primarily based on the use of industry pricing guides. Fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables resulted in charges to provision for loan losses totaling $2 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended October 3, 2015 and $5 million and $16 million for the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively. Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not reflected in the financial statements at fair value are as follows: October 3, 2015 January 3, 2015 (In millions) Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Manufacturing group Long-term debt, excluding leases $ ) $ ) $ ) $ ) Finance group Finance receivables, excluding leases Debt ) ) ) ) Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2). At October 3, 2015 and January 3, 2015, approximately 74% and 75%, respectively, of the fair value of term debt for the Finance group was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations (Level 2). The remaining Finance group debt was determined based on observable market transactions (Level 1). F air value estimates for finance receivables were determined based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which include estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and expectations of borrowers’ ability to make payments on a timely basis.

Segment Information	Note 10. Segment Information We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses and acquisition and restructuring costs related to the Beechcraft acquisition. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. Our revenues by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, are as follows: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended (In millions) October 3, 2015 September 27, 2014 October 3, 2015 September 27, 2014 Revenues Textron Aviation $ $ $ $ Bell Textron Systems Industrial Finance Total revenues $ $ $ $ Segment Profit Textron Aviation $ $ $ $ Bell Textron Systems Industrial Finance Segment profit Corporate expenses and other, net ) ) ) ) Interest expense, net for Manufacturing group ) ) ) ) Acquisition and restructuring costs — ) — ) Income from continuing operations before income taxes $ $ $ $

Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined. During 2015 and 2014, we changed our estimates of revenues and costs on certain long-term contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. These changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the third quarter of 2015 and 2014 by $14 million and $10 million, respectively, ($9 million and $6 million after tax, or $0.03 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively). For the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $20 million and $25 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $6 million and $15 million, respectively. The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014 by $68 million and $69 million, respectively, ($43 million after tax, or $0.15 per diluted share for both periods). For the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $93 million and $90 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $25 million and $21 million, respectively. Gross favorable program profit adjustments for the first nine months of 2014 included $16 million related to the settlement of the System Development and Demonstration phase of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program, which was terminated in October 2008.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, that outlines a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard to the beginning of 2018 for public companies, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017. The new standard may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings at the effective date for those contracts. We are currently evaluating the impacts of adoption on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures, along with the implementation approach to be used.
