TEXTRON INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

 

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 2, 2016.  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 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 2016 and 2015, 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 2016 and 2015 by $18 million and $14 million, respectively, ($11 million and $9 million after tax, or $0.04 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively).  For the third quarter of 2016 and 2015, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $21 million and $20 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $3 million and $6 million, respectively.

 

The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 by $57 million and $68 million, respectively, ($36 million and $43 million after tax, or $0.13 and $0.15 per diluted share, respectively).  For the first nine months of 2016 and 2015, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $74 million and $93 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $17 million and $25 million, respectively.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 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.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires all leases with a term greater than 12 months be recognized on the balance sheet, while lease expenses would continue to be recognized in the statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting guidance.  The new standard is effective for our company at the beginning of fiscal 2019 and early

adoption is permitted.  Entities must adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied at the beginning of the earliest comparative year.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses.  The new standard is effective for our company at the beginning of fiscal 2020 with early adoption permitted beginning in fiscal 2019.  Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.  We are currently evaluating the impact of adoption on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2.  Business Acquisitions

 

In the first nine months of 2016, we paid $179 million in cash and assumed debt of $19 million to acquire five businesses, net of cash acquired and holdbacks.  Our acquisition of Able Engineering and Component Services, Inc. and Able Aerospace, Inc. (Able) in the first quarter represented the largest of these businesses and is included in the Textron Aviation segment.  Able is an industry-leading repair and overhaul business that provides component repairs, component exchanges and replacement parts, among other support and service offerings for commercial rotorcraft and fixed-wing aircraft customers around the world.  We are in the process of allocating the purchase price and valuing the acquired assets and liabilities for these acquisitions.  Based on the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price for these acquisitions, $97 million has been allocated to goodwill, related to expected synergies and the value of the existing workforce, and $62 million to intangible assets.  Of the recorded goodwill, approximately $43 million is deductible for tax purposes.  The intangible assets are primarily related to customer relationships and technologies, which will be amortized over 10 to 18 years.  The operating results of these acquisitions have been included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since their respective closing dates.

Our Board of Directors approved a plan in the third quarter of 2016 to restructure and realign our businesses by implementing headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in order to improve overall operating efficiency across Textron.  The plan provides for Textron Systems to discontinue production of its sensor-fuzed weapon product, which will generate headcount reductions, facility consolidations and asset impairments within its Weapons and Sensors operating unit. Historically, sensor-fuzed weapon sales have relied on foreign military and direct commercial international customers for which both executive branch and congressional approval is required. The current political environment has made it difficult to obtain these approvals. Within our Industrial segment, the plan provides for the combination of our Jacobsen business with the Textron Specialized Vehicles businesses, resulting in the consolidation of certain facilities and general and administrative functions and related headcount reductions.  As a result of ongoing evaluations, we subsequently decided to take additional restructuring actions, principally headcount reductions, in our Textron Aviation segment, as well as other businesses.  The total headcount reduction related to restructuring activities is expected to be approximately 1,700 positions, representing approximately 5% of our workforce.

 

We expect to incur additional pre-tax charges under this plan of approximately $25 million to $55 million, primarily related to contract termination, severance, facility consolidation and relocation costs. The remaining charges are expected to primarily be in the Industrial and Textron Systems segments.  We anticipate the plan to be substantially completed by March 2017.

Note 5.  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.

 

The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

Stock options to purchase 4 million and 2 million shares of common stock 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.

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, 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.  Accrual of interest income is suspended for these accounts and all cash collections are generally applied to reduce the net investment balance.  Once we conclude that the collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful, we resume the accrual of interest and recognize previously suspended interest income at the time either a) the loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan, or b) if the loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the terms of the modification.  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.

 

Delinquency

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.

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 described 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 2016 or 2015.

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

 

12



Table of Contents

 

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.

Note 9.  Debt

 

On September 30, 2016, Textron entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility expires in September 2021 and replaced the existing 5-year facility, which had no outstanding borrowings, and was scheduled to expire in October 2018.  At October 1, 2016, there were no amounts borrowed against the new facility.

 

Under our shelf registration statement, on March 11, 2016, we issued $350 million of fixed-rate notes due March 15, 2026 that bear an annual interest rate of 4.0%.  The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $345 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

Note 10.  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 primarily utilize foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of no more than three years to manage this volatility.  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. 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.

 

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 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $687 million and $706 million, respectively.  At October 1, 2016, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $5 million asset and an $11 million liability. At January 2, 2016, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $7 million asset and a $28 million liability.

 

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 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016, the Finance group’s impaired nonaccrual finance receivables of $41 million and $45 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 were not significant for both the three and nine months ended October 1, 2016 and October 3, 2015.

 

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2).  At both October 1, 2016 and January 2, 2016, approximately 75% 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).  Fair 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.

Note 12.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims relating to commercial and financial transactions; government contracts; alleged lack of compliance with applicable laws and regulations; production partners; product liability; patent and trademark infringement; employment disputes; and environmental, safety and health matters.  Some of these legal proceedings and claims seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination.  As a government contractor, we are subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether our operations are being conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time.  On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 13.  Income Taxes

 

We recognized an income tax benefit of $192 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $46 million in the first nine months of 2016, largely related to a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Office of Appeals for our 1998 to 2008 tax years, which resulted in a $206 million benefit recognized in continuing operations.  We also recognized a $113 million benefit in discontinued operations related to the settlement.  U.S. federal income tax audits have now been settled for all years prior to 2009. Our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest decreased to $183 million and $6 million, respectively, at October 1, 2016, primarily due to the settlement.

 

In addition to the benefit of $206 million noted above, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by $9 million in higher qualified research and development expenses and $7 million from a change in the mix of our earnings from U.S. to non-U.S., which includes jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Our U.S. earnings declined primarily due to the impact of restructuring activities as discussed in Note 3.

 

Note 14.  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 special charges.  The measurement for the Finance segment includes 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:

Revenues

 

Revenues increased $71 million, 2%, in the third quarter of 2016, compared with the third quarter of 2015, largely driven by increases in the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments, partially offset by lower revenues at the Bell and Textron Systems segments.  The net revenue increase included the following factors:

 

·                 Higher Industrial revenues of $58 million, primarily due to the impact from acquired businesses of $42 million and higher volume of $21 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line.

·                 Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $39 million, primarily due to the impact from an acquired business of $18 million and higher volume and mix of $17 million, largely due to higher pre-owned aircraft volume.

·                 Lower Bell revenues of $22 million, primarily due to a decrease in commercial revenues of $108 million, largely reflecting lower aircraft deliveries. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in V-22 program revenues of $45 million, primarily reflecting higher aircraft deliveries, and an increase in other military revenues of $41 million, primarily reflecting higher H-1 program revenues.

·                 Lower Textron Systems revenues of $7 million, as higher volume of $25 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line and $19 million in the Simulation, Training and Other product line was more than offset by lower volume of $60 million in the Weapons and Sensors product line.

 

Revenues increased $463 million, 5%, in the first nine months of 2016, compared with the first nine months of 2015, largely driven by increases in the Industrial, Textron Systems and Textron Aviation segments, partially offset by lower revenues at the Bell segment.  The net revenue increase included the following factors:

 

·                 Higher Industrial revenues of $215 million, primarily due to higher volume of $132 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, and the impact from acquired businesses of $114 million.

·                 Higher Textron Systems revenues of $167 million, primarily due to higher volume of $81 million in the Unmanned Systems product line, $34 million in the Simulation, Training and Other product line and $27 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line.

·                 Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $151 million, primarily due to higher volume and mix of $101 million, largely the result of higher Citation jet volume of $153 million, partially offset by lower turboprop volume.

·                 Lower Bell revenues of $67 million, primarily due to a decrease in commercial revenues of $196 million, largely reflecting lower aircraft deliveries.  This decrease was partially offset by an increase in other military revenues of $86 million, primarily due to higher H-1 program revenues, and an increase in V-22 program revenues of $43 million, primarily reflecting higher aircraft deliveries.

 

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Manufacturing cost of sales and selling and administrative expense together comprise our operating expenses. Cost of sales increased $77 million, 3%, in the third quarter of 2016, compared with the third quarter of 2015, largely due to an increase from acquired businesses and higher volume at the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments.  In the third quarter of 2016, the decrease in gross margin percentage was largely driven by an unfavorable impact from the mix of products sold at Textron Aviation.

 

Cost of sales increased $457 million, 6%, in the first nine months of 2016, compared with the first nine months of 2015, largely due to higher volume at the Textron Systems, Industrial and Textron Aviation segments, and an increase from acquired businesses.  In the first nine months of 2016, the decrease in gross margin percentage was largely driven by an unfavorable impact from the mix of products sold at Textron Aviation.

Selling and administrative expense increased $20 million, 7%, in the third quarter of 2016 and decreased $20 million, 2%, in the first nine months of 2016, compared with the corresponding periods of 2015.   The 7% increase in the third quarter of 2016 was largely due to higher share-based compensation expense.

Our Board of Directors approved a plan in the third quarter of 2016 to restructure and realign our businesses by implementing headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in order to improve overall operating efficiency across Textron.  The plan provides for Textron Systems to discontinue production of its sensor-fuzed weapon product, which will generate headcount reductions, facility consolidations and asset impairments within its Weapons and Sensors operating unit. Historically, sensor-fuzed weapon sales have relied on foreign military and direct commercial international customers for which both executive branch and congressional approval is required. The current political environment has made it difficult to obtain these approvals. Within our Industrial segment, the plan provides for the combination of our Jacobsen business with the Textron Specialized Vehicles businesses, resulting in the consolidation of certain facilities and general and administrative functions and related headcount reductions.  As a result of ongoing evaluations, we subsequently decided to take additional restructuring actions, principally headcount reductions, in our Textron Aviation segment, as well as other businesses.  The total headcount reduction related to restructuring activities is expected to be approximately 1,700 positions, representing approximately 5% of our workforce.

 

We expect to incur additional pre-tax charges under this plan of approximately $25 million to $55 million, primarily related to contract termination, severance, facility consolidation and relocation costs. The remaining charges are expected to primarily be in the Industrial and Textron Systems segments.  We anticipate the plan to be substantially completed by March 2017.  Expected cash outlays for these activities are estimated to be in the range of $100 million to $120 million, approximately half of which is expected to be expended in 2016 and the remainder in 2017.

 

Income Taxes

We recognized an income tax benefit of $192 million in the third quarter of 2016 and $46 million in the first nine months of 2016, largely related to a settlement with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Office of Appeals for our 1998 to 2008 tax years, which resulted in a $206 million benefit recognized in continuing operations.  We also recognized a $113 million benefit in discontinued operations related to the settlement.  In addition to the benefit of $206 million, the effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was favorably impacted by $9 million in higher qualified research and development expenses and $7 million from a change in the mix of our earnings from U.S. to non-U.S., which includes jurisdictions with lower tax rates than the U.S. federal statutory rate. Our U.S. earnings declined primarily due to the impact of restructuring activities as discussed above.

Segment Analysis

 

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 special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense.

 

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenue and segment profit typically are expressed for our commercial business in terms of volume, pricing, foreign exchange and acquisitions.  Additionally, changes in segment profit may be expressed in terms of mix, inflation and cost performance. Volume changes in revenue represent increases/decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided.  Pricing represents changes in unit pricing.  Foreign exchange is the change resulting from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are different from the prior period.  Revenues generated by acquired businesses are reflected in Acquisitions for a twelve-month period.  For segment profit, mix represents a change due to the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins.  Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension or other costs.  Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

 

Approximately 24% of our 2015 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government.  For our segments that have significant contracts with the U.S. Government, we typically express changes in segment profit related to the government business in terms of volume, changes in program performance or changes in contract mix. Changes in volume that are described in net sales typically drive corresponding changes in our segment profit based on the profit rate for a particular contract. Changes in program performance typically relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to total estimated costs at completion that reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. Changes in contract mix refers to changes in operating margin due to a change in the relative volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes.

In the third quarter of 2016, Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $39 million, 3%, compared with the third quarter of 2015, primarily due to the impact from an acquisition of a repair and overhaul business in the first quarter of 2016 and higher volume and mix of $17 million, largely due to higher pre-owned aircraft volume. We delivered 41 Citation jets and 29 King Air turboprops in the third quarter of 2016, compared with 37 Citation jets and 29 King Air turboprops in the third quarter of 2015.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 30% of its total revenues in both the third quarter of 2016 and 2015.

 

In the first nine months of 2016, Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $151 million, 5%, compared with the first nine months of 2015, primarily due to higher volume and mix of $101 million and the impact from the acquisition.  The increase in volume and mix is primarily due to higher Citation jet volume of $153 million, partially offset by lower turboprop volume.  We delivered 120 Citation jets and 78 King Air turboprops in the first nine months of 2016, compared with 106 Citation jets and 84 King Air turboprops in the first nine months of 2015.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 33% of its total revenues in the first nine months of 2016, compared with 32% in the first nine months of 2015.
