Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. iBasis
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 1, 2022. 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 itwo 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, and our new reporting segment, Textron eAviation, formed in the second quarter of 2022. Textron eAviation includes the operating results of Pipistrel, a manufacturer of electrically powered aircraft acquired on April 15, 2022, as discussed in Note 2, along with other research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions. 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.
i
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.
For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, we recognize changes in estimated contract
revenues, costs and profits using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes the cumulative effect of changes on current and prior periods with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which the losses become probable and estimable.
In the third quarter of 2022, our cumulative catch-up adjustments decreased segment profit by $i3
million and net income by $i2 million, $i0.01
per diluted share. In the third quarter of 2021, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $i25 million and net income by $i19
million, $i0.08 per diluted share. Gross favorable profit adjustments totaled $i25 million and $i43
million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and gross unfavorable profit adjustments totaled $i28 million and $i18 million, respectively. We reduced revenues by $i2
million and recognized revenues of $i27 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods that related to changes in profit booking rates.
In the first nine months of 2022, our cumulative catch-up adjustments decreased segment profit by $i24
million and net income by $i18 million, $i0.08
per diluted share. In the first nine months of 2021, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $i54 million and net income by $i41
million, $i0.18 per diluted share. Gross favorable profit adjustments totaled $i66 million and $i119
million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and gross unfavorable profit adjustments totaled $i90 million and $i65 million, respectively. We reduced revenues
by $i35 million and recognized revenues of $i65
million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, from performance obligations satisfied in prior periods that related to changes in profit booking rates.
On April 15, 2022, we acquired Pipistrel, a manufacturer of electrically powered aircraft, for a cash purchase price of $i239 million, which included the assumption of $i35
million of debt and other contractual obligations under the agreement and a final fixed payment of $i21 million due in 2024. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, this business is included in a new reporting segment, Textron eAviation, which combines the operating results of Pipistrel along with other research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions.
We allocated the purchase
price for this business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date and recorded $i141 million in goodwill, related to expected synergies and the value of the assembled workforce, and $i76
million in intangible assets, primarily developed technologies. The intangible assets were primarily valued using the relief-from-royalty method. This method utilizes significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy and requires us to make estimates and assumptions about sales, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on marketplace data.
Note 3. iAccounts
Receivable and 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 ithree
months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. 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.
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.
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables
i0.85%
i0.16%
//
At
October 1, 2022, i43% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2020 and i25%
were originated from 2017 to 2019. For finance receivables categorized as nonaccrual, i80% were originated from 2017 to 2019.
On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual larger balance accounts for impairment. 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.
i
A
summary of finance receivables and the allowance for credit losses, based on the results of our impairment evaluation, is provided below. The finance receivables included in this table specifically exclude leveraged leases in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
*
Adjustments include changes to prior year estimates, new issues on prior year sales, acquisitions and currency translation adjustments.
/
Note 6. iLeases
We primarily lease certain manufacturing
plants, offices, warehouses, training and service centers at various locations worldwide through operating leases. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms up to i26 years, which include options to iextend the lease term for periods up to
i25 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Operating lease cost totaled $i17 million and $i17
million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $i51 million and $i49 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Variable and short-term lease costs were not significant.
Cash paid for operating leases totaled $i51 million and $i49 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is classified in cash flows from operating activities.
Noncash transactions totaled $i34 million and $i81
million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, reflecting the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for new or extended leases.
i
Balance sheet and other information related to our operating leases is as follows:
At
October 1, 2022, maturities of our operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis totaled $i18 million for the remainder of 2022, $i67
million for 2023, $i57 million for 2024, $i49 million for 2025, $i37
million for 2026 and $i228 million thereafter.
Note 7. iDerivative
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 ithree 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, 2022 and January 1, 2022, we had foreign currency exchange contracts
with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $i327 million and $i272 million, respectively.
At October 1, 2022, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $i2 million asset and a $i15
million liability. At January 1, 2022, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $i4 million asset and a $i3
million liability.
Our Finance group enters into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. By using these contracts, we are able to convert floating-rate cash flows to fixed-rate cash flows. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. At October 1, 2022, we had a swap agreement for a notional amount of $i272 million with a maturity of
August 2023, and a swap agreement for a notional amount of $i25 million, maturing in June 2025, with a combined fair value of a $i9
million asset. At January 1, 2022, we had a swap agreement for a notional amount of $i289 million with a maturity of August 2023 and an insignificant fair value. The fair value of these swap agreements is determined using values published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These values are observable data that represent the value that financial institutions use for contracts entered into at that date, but are not based
on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2.
Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value
i
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:
Fair
value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2). The fair value for the Finance group debt was determined primarily 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.
Dividends
per share of common stock were $ii0.02/
for both the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 and $ii0.06/
for both the first nine months of 2022 and 2021.
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.
i
The
weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows:
For both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, stock options to purchase ii1.0/
million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For the first nine months of 2021, stock options to purchase i1.4 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
i
The components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss are presented below:
*These
components of other comprehensive income (loss) are included in the computation of net periodic pension cost (income). See Note 15 of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information.
Note 9. iSegment Information
Through the first quarter of 2022, we operated in, and reported financial information for, the following iifive/
business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we formed a new reporting segment within the Manufacturing group, Textron eAviation, which includes the operating results of Pipistrel, a
manufacturer of electrically powered aircraft that we acquired on April 15, 2022, as discussed in Note 2, along with other research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit
for the manufacturing segments includes non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(income) and excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, gains/losses on major business dispositions and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.
i
Our revenues by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, are included in the table below:
Our remaining performance obligations, which is the equivalent of our backlog, represent the expected transaction price allocated to our contracts that we expect to recognize as revenues in future periods when we perform under the contracts. These remaining obligations exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts such as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts. At October 1,
2022, we had $i13.2 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately i70% through 2023, an additional
i26% through 2025, and the balance thereafter.
Assets
and liabilities related to our contracts with customers are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022, contract assets totaled $i636
million and $i717 million, respectively, and contract liabilities totaled $i1.7
billion and $i1.2 billion, respectively, reflecting timing differences between revenues recognized, billings and payments from customers. We recognized revenues of $i130
million and $i51 million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $i629
million and $i499 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year.
Note 11. iRetirement
Plans
We provide defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits to eligible employees. iThe components of net periodic benefit income for these plans are as follows:
*
Excludes the cost associated with the defined contribution component, included in certain of our U.S.-based defined benefit pension plans, that totaled $i2 million and $i2
million in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $i9 million and $i8 million for the first nine months
of 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Note 12. iSpecial Charges
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, we recognized special charges of $i10
million and $i20 million, respectively, related to a restructuring plan initiated in 2020 in response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. There were iino/
special charges recorded in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022.
i
Our restructuring reserve activity is summarized below:
The
majority of the remaining cash outlays of $i13 million is expected to be paid in the next six months.
Note 13. iIncome
Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was i14.8% and i16.2%, respectively.
In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of ii21/%,
largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income. In the third quarter of 2022, these benefits were partially offset by a $i13 million provision for withholding taxes due to the planned repatriation of cash related to a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 was i15.1%
and i13.7%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of ii21/%,
largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits. In the first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate also included a $i12 million benefit recognized for additional research and development credits related to prior years.
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.
During
the first nine months of 2022, all of our manufacturing segments were impacted by labor shortages and ongoing global supply chain shortages and delays resulting from the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. While our businesses are managing through these challenges, in some cases they have caused, and we expect will continue to cause, some manufacturing inefficiencies and delays in delivery of certain of our products to customers.
An analysis of our consolidated operating results is set forth below. A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 20 to 25.
Revenues
Revenues increased $88 million, 3%, in the third quarter of 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher
Industrial revenues of $119 million due to higher volume and mix of $95 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, and a favorable impact from pricing of $58 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $34 million.
•Lower Bell revenues of $15 million due to lower military revenues of $112 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand, partially offset by higher commercial revenues of $97 million, primarily due to higher volume and mix.
•Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $14 million, reflecting lower volume and mix of $73 million, partially offset by higher pricing of $59 million.
•Lower
Textron Systems revenues of $7 million, largely due to lower volume of $13 million, which included a $15 million decrease from our Afghanistan fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.
Revenues increased $173 million, 2%, in the first nine months of 2022, compared with the first nine months of 2021. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:
•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $284 million, reflecting higher volume and mix of $148 million and higher pricing of $136 million.
•Higher Industrial revenues of $209 million due to a favorable impact from pricing of $168 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, and higher volume and mix of $108 million in both
product lines, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from exchange rate fluctuations of $67 million.
•Lower Bell revenues of $231 million due to lower military revenues of $262 million, primarily in the H-1 program due to lower aircraft and spares production volume, reflecting lower demand, partially offset by higher commercial revenues of $31 million, primarily due to higher pricing.
•Lower Textron Systems revenues of $102 million, largely due to lower volume of $116 million, which included a $83 million decrease from our Afghanistan fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.
Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense
Cost of sales increased
$98 million, 4%, in the third quarter of 2022, compared with the third quarter of 2021, largely due to inflation of $93 million, principally reflecting higher material cost in the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 80 basis points in the third quarter of 2022 as higher margin at the Textron Aviation segment, largely reflecting favorable pricing, was more than offset by lower margin at the other Manufacturing segments, primarily at the Bell and Textron Systems segments, reflecting lower volume and mix.
Cost of sales increased $171 million, 2%, in the first nine months of 2022, compared with the first nine months of 2021, largely due to inflation of $274 million, principally reflecting higher material cost in the Industrial and Textron Aviation segments, partially offset by lower net volume and mix. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues
decreased 40 basis points in the first nine months of 2022 as higher margin at the Textron Aviation segment, reflecting higher volume and mix and pricing, was more than offset by lower margin at the other Manufacturing segments.
Selling and administrative expense decreased $25 million, 9%, and $54 million, 6%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2021, primarily reflecting lower share-based compensation expense.
Non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net
In
the third quarter of 2022, non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net increased by $19 million, 48%, to $59 million. In the first nine months of 2022, non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net increased by $61 million, 51%, to $180 million. The increase in both periods is based on our annual valuation at the end of 2021 and is primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate utilized for our domestic qualified pension plans and the impact of actual pension asset returns that exceeded our expected return on plan assets.
Income Taxes
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was 14.8% and 16.2%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development
credits and tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income. In the third quarter of 2022, these benefits were partially offset by a $13 million provision for withholding taxes due to the planned repatriation of cash related to a non-U.S. jurisdiction.
Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2021 was 15.1% and 13.7%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits. In the first nine months of 2021, the effective tax rate also included a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research and development credits related to prior years.
Textron Aviation's backlog increased $2.2 billion, 54%, in the first nine months of 2022, reflecting orders in excess of deliveries. Backlog at Bell increased $1.0 billion, 26%, largely due to new orders in excess of deliveries and revenues recognized. Bell was awarded a $1.4 billion 5-year contract with the U.S. Government for spares and logistic support for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft in the first quarter of 2022.
Segment
Analysis
Through the first quarter of 2022, we operated in, and reported financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Beginning in the second quarter of 2022, we formed a new reporting segment within the Manufacturing group, Textron eAviation. This new segment includes the operating results of Pipistrel, a manufacturer of electrically powered aircraft that we acquired on April 15, 2022, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, along with other research and development initiatives related to sustainable aviation solutions.
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,
gains/losses on major business dispositions and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. Operating expenses for the Manufacturing segments include cost of sales, selling and administrative expense and non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(income), and exclude certain corporate expenses and special charges.
In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, inflation and performance. For revenues, volume and mix represents changes in revenues from increases or decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold. For segment profit, volume and mix represents
a change due to the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins. 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, while reductions in revenues and segment profit from the sale of businesses are reflected as Dispositions. Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension service cost 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, non-service pension cost/(income), product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.
Approximately 26% of our 2021 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program. For our segments that contract with the U.S. Government, changes in revenues related to these contracts are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in segment profit for these
contracts are typically expressed in terms of volume and mix and performance; these include cumulative catch-up adjustments associated with a) revisions to the transaction price that may reflect contract modifications or changes in assumptions related to award fees and other variable consideration or b) changes in the total estimated costs at completion due to improved or deteriorated operating performance.

We believe our allowance for credit losses adequately covers our exposure on these loans as our estimated collateral values largely exceed the outstanding loan amounts. Key portfolio quality indicators are discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
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 along with Textron eAviation, a new segment formed at the beginning of the second quarter
of 2022. 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.
Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:
We
believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage. We expect to have sufficient cash to meet our needs based on our existing cash balances, the cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations and the availability of our existing credit facility.
Credit Facilities and Other Sources of Capital
On October 21, 2022, 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. We may elect to increase the aggregate amount of commitments under
the facility to up to $1.3 billion by designating an additional lender or by an existing lender agreeing to increase its commitment. The facility expires in October 2027, subject to up to two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. This new facility replaces the existing 5-year facility, which was scheduled to expire in October 2024. There were no amounts borrowed against either facility and there were $9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the prior facility at both October 1, 2022 and January 1, 2022.
We also maintain an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public debt and other securities.
Manufacturing
Group Cash Flows
Cash flows for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:
In the first nine months of 2022, cash flows from operating activities decreased $67 million to $945 million, compared with $1,012 million in the first nine months of 2021, primarily due to an increase in income tax payments of $197 million, largely resulting from a change in tax legislation, partially offset by higher earnings. Effective at the beginning of 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures immediately in the year incurred and requires
taxpayers to amortize such expenditures over five years. Without the option to deduct these expenses in the year incurred, our tax payments are expected to increase by approximately $300 million for the full year of 2022, depending on the final amount of research and development expenses incurred during the year.
Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 included $201 million of net cash paid for business acquisitions, largely related to the Pipistrel acquisition discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, and $192 million of capital expenditures. Investing activities in the first
nine months of 2021 included $204 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $38 million of net proceeds from the disposition of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 included $639 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 9.8 million shares of our common stock. In the first nine months of 2021, cash flows used in financing activities included $586 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 9.0 million shares of our common stock and $522 million of payments on long-term debt.
On January 25, 2022, we announced the authorization of the repurchase of up to 25 million shares of our common stock. This plan allows us to continue our practice of repurchasing shares to offset the impact of dilution from stock-based compensation and benefit
plans and for opportunistic capital management purposes. The 2022 plan has no expiration date and replaced the prior 2020 share repurchase authorization.
Finance Group Cash Flows
Cash flows for the Finance group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:
In the first nine months of 2022, the net cash outflow from operating activities was $11 million, compared with a net cash inflow
of $10 million in the first nine months of 2021. The year-over-year decrease in cash flows was primarily due to an increase in income tax payments of $12 million.
The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included collections on finance receivables totaling $108 million and $205 million in the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, respectively, and finance receivable originations of $58 million and $34 million, respectively. Cash flows provided by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 also included $44 million of other investing activities, largely related to proceeds from the sale of operating lease assets. In the first nine months of 2022 and 2021, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $211 million and $93 million, respectively.
Consolidated Cash Flows
The consolidated
cash flows after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:
In the first nine months of 2022, cash flows from operating activities decreased $211 million to $963 million, compared with $1,174 million in the first nine months of 2021. The decrease in cash flows was primarily due to an increase in income tax payments of $209 million, largely resulting from a change in tax legislation discussed above, and a decrease in cash inflows from captive finance receivables of $123 million, partially offset by higher earnings.
Cash flows
used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 included $201 million of net cash paid for business acquisitions, largely related to the Pipistrel acquisition, and $192 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $44 million of other investing activities, which included proceeds from the sale of operating lease assets. Investing activities in the first nine months of 2021 included $204 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $38 million of net proceeds from the disposition of TRU Simulation + Training Canada Inc.
Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2022 included $639 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $227 million of payments on long-term debt. In the first nine months of 2021, cash flows used in financing activities included $615 million of payments on long-term debt and $586 million of cash paid to repurchase shares
of our outstanding common stock.
Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions
The Finance group provides financing primarily to purchasers of new and pre-owned Textron Aviation aircraft and Bell helicopters manufactured by our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers is reflected as operating activities when received from third parties. However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based
on the operations of each group. For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows. Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow. Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing. These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are reclassified or eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Reclassification adjustments included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

Critical Accounting Estimates Update
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The accounting estimates that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are reported in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended January 1, 2022. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.
Revenue Recognition
A substantial portion of our revenues is related to long-term contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program, for the design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products as well as related services. We generally use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs on our contracts.
Under this measure, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, and revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.
Changes in our estimate of the total expected cost or in the transaction price for a contract typically impact our profit booking rate. We utilize the cumulative catch-up method of accounting to recognize the impact of these changes on our profit booking rate for a contract. Under this method, the inception-to-date impact of a profit adjustment on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified.
The impact of our cumulative catch-up adjustments on segment profit recognized in prior periods is presented below:

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 21, 2022, Textron Inc. ("Textron") entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility Agreement")
with the Lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, in an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion. Textron may elect to increase the aggregate amount of commitments under the Facility Agreement to up to $1.3 billion by designating an additional lender or by agreeing with an existing lender that such lender’s commitment shall be increased. The Facility Agreement expires in October 2027, subject to up to two one-year extensions at Textron’s option with the consent of lenders having more than 50% of the aggregate amount of commitments under the Facility Agreement. The Facility Agreement replaces the $1.0 billion 5-year facility that was scheduled to expire in October 2024. The terms and conditions of the Facility Agreement are substantially the same as those in the facility being replaced.
Textron will have two options with respect to interest on syndicated borrowings under the Facility Agreement.
The first option is for interest to be payable at a rate per annum equal to the sum of a margin (“Base Rate Margin”), which can range from 0 basis points to 40 basis points depending on Textron’s senior unsecured long-term debt ratings as determined by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), plus the highest of (a) the Prime Rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% per annum or (c) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined below) for a one-month interest period plus 1.00% per annum (the “Base Rate”), provided that the Base Rate shall not be less than 1.0%. Based on Textron's current S&P and Moody's ratings (BBB and Baa2, respectively) the Base Rate Margin would be 12.5 basis points.
Alternatively, Textron may opt to pay interest for the applicable Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the sum of a margin (“Term Benchmark Margin”), which can range from 91 basis points to 140 basis points depending upon Textron’s ratings, plus the applicable Term SOFR Rate, plus 0.10% (“Adjusted Term SOFR Rate”); provided that the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate shall not be less than 0.0%. The Term SOFR Rate means the Term SOFR Reference Rate published as specified by the Credit Agreement. Based on Textron's current S&P and Moody's ratings (BBB and Baa2, respectively) the Term Benchmark Margin would be 1.25 basis points.
Textron also will pay a quarterly facility fee under the Facility Agreement, regardless of borrowing activity. This fee will range from 9 basis points to 22.5 basis points, depending on Textron's
ratings by S&P and Moody's. At Textron's current rating, the fee is 12.5 basis points.
The Facility Agreement provides that up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit in lieu of borrowings. Letters of credit are subject to fronting fees and accrue charges at the Letter of Credit Fee Rate which is equivalent to the Term Benchmark Margin.
The Facility Agreement contains covenants that, among other things:
•provide that Textron may not consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity unless such entity expressly assumes all of Textron’s obligations under the Facility Agreement;
•restrict the ability of Textron and its manufacturing subsidiaries
to incur liens, other than certain permitted liens, including liens securing indebtedness not in excess of the Pooled Basket Amount (equal to 3% of the consolidated total assets of Textron and its manufacturing subsidiaries);
•restrict the ability of Textron’s manufacturing subsidiaries to incur certain indebtedness in excess of the Pooled Basket Amount;
•require Textron to maintain the Finance Company Leverage Ratio (as such term is defined in the Facility Agreement) at no more than 9 to 1;
•require the Consolidated Indebtedness (as such term is defined in the Facility Agreement) of Textron
and its manufacturing subsidiaries not to exceed 65% of Consolidated Capitalization (also as defined in the Facility Agreement).
The Facility Agreement contains customary Events of Default (as defined in the Facility Agreement); in addition, a Change of Control (also as defined in the Facility Agreement) triggers an Event of Default under the Facility Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all loans outstanding under the Facility Agreement (including accrued interest and fees payable with respect thereto) may be declared immediately due and payable and all commitments under the Facility Agreement may be terminated.
The foregoing description of the Facility Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Facility Agreement,
which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 21, 2022, coincident with the entry into the Facility Agreement reported above, the existing 5-Year Credit Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2019, among Textron, the Banks listed therein and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, was terminated prior to its stated October 2024 expiration date.
