Textron Reports Increase in Fourth Quarter Earnings and Strong Cash Flow
Initiates 2013 EPS Outlook at $2.10 - $2.30
Business Wire
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- January 23, 2013
Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported fourth quarter 2012 income from
continuing operations of $0.50 per share, compared to a loss of $0.06 per
share in the fourth quarter of 2011.
This year’s fourth quarter results include a previously disclosed after-tax
charge of $0.06 per share at Cessna related to an unfavorable business
arbitration award. Last year’s fourth quarter included net charges of $0.55
per share.
Total revenues in the quarter were $3.4 billion, up 3.3% from the fourth
quarter of 2011.
Full-year manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions was $793
million. The company contributed $224 million to its pension plans during the
fourth quarter, bringing full-year contributions to $405 million. Textron’s
consolidated net debt ended the year at $2.6 billion, down $974 million from
the end of last year.
“Growth in the fourth quarter was the result of strong military and commercial
demand at Bell and increased deliveries at Textron Systems, E-Z-GO and
Jacobsen, partially offset by weakness in our automotive and business jet
markets,” said Textron Chairman and CEO, Scott C. Donnelly.
Share Repurchases
During the fourth quarter, the company repurchased 11.1 million of its common
shares under its previous share repurchase authorization. On January 22, 2013
Textron’s Board of Directors approved a new authorization for 25 million
shares, under which the company intends to purchase shares to offset the
impact of dilution from stock-based compensation and benefit plans and for
opportunistic capital management purposes.
Outlook
Textron is forecasting 2013 revenues of approximately $12.9 billion, up about
6% from 2012. Earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be
in the range of $2.10 to $2.30. Cash flow from continuing operations of the
manufacturing group before pension contributions is estimated to be between
$500 and $550 million with planned pension contributions of about $200
million.
Donnelly continued, “In 2013, we anticipate growth in revenue at Cessna on a
modest increase in jet deliveries, a higher revenue mix of business jets and
growth in aftermarket, modest growth at Bell, led by an increase in commercial
helicopter sales, growth at Systems and revenue up slightly at Industrial.”
Fourth Quarter Segment Results and Actions
Cessna
Revenues decreased $110 million, reflecting the delivery of 53 new Citation
jets in the quarter, compared with 67 in last year’s fourth quarter.
Segment profit decreased $37 million, primarily due to a $27.4 million
arbitration settlement charge and lower jet volumes.
Cessna backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $1.1 billion, down $267
million from the end of the third quarter 2012.
Bell
Revenues increased $139 million in the fourth quarter from the same period in
the prior year. Bell delivered 9 V-22’s, 6 H-1’s and 65 commercial aircraft in
the quarter compared to 7 V-22’s, 6 H-1’s and 62 commercial units in last
year’s fourth quarter.
Segment profit increased $10 million, reflecting higher volume and mix.
Bell backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $7.5 billion, up $1.2
billion from the end of the third quarter 2012.
Textron Systems
Revenues at Textron Systems increased $58 million, reflecting higher
deliveries in Unmanned Aerial Systems and Weapons and Sensors, partially
offset by lower vehicle deliveries at Land and Marine.
Segment profit in the quarter was $36 million, up $44 million when compared to
last year’s fourth quarter, which included $60 million in charges. Segment
profit in this year’s fourth quarter reflected higher volumes, partially
offset by a $19 million charge associated with the company’s fee-for-service
unmanned aerial systems contracts.
Textron Systems backlog at the end of the fourth quarter was $2.9 billion,
relatively flat with the end of third quarter 2012.
Industrial
Industrial revenues decreased $2 million from the fourth quarter of 2011.
Segment profit decreased $6 million reflecting cost inflation in excess of
related price increases.
Finance
Finance segment revenues increased $23 million compared to the fourth quarter
of 2011. The segment reported a profit of $2 million compared to last year’s
$232 million fourth quarter loss, which reflected a mark-to-market charge.
Since the end of the third quarter 2012, nonaccrual finance receivables
decreased from $145 million to $143 million and sixty-day plus delinquencies
decreased from $114 million to $90 million.
Finance receivables ended the quarter at $2.1 billion, reflecting liquidations
of $65 million during the quarter.

For the fourth quarter of 2011, the potential dilutive effect of stock
options, restricted stock units and the shares that could be issued upon
the conversion of our 4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and upon the
(d) exercise of the related warrants was excluded from the computation of
diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the shares would have an
anti-dilutive effect on the loss from continuing operations. Fully
diluted shares were used to calculate earnings per share for the other
reported periods.

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