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 December 30, 2023.  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, Industrial and Textron eAviation 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.

Contract Estimates

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 first quarter of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $13 million and $8 million, respectively, and net income by $10 million and $6 million, respectively ($0.05 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively).

Note 2. Accounts Receivable and Finance Receivables

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable is composed of the following:

(In millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Commercial	$	816	$	831
U.S. Government contracts	102		63
	918		894
Allowance for credit losses	(24)		(26)
Total accounts receivable, net	$	894	$	868

8

Finance Receivables

Finance receivables are presented in the following table:

(In millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Finance receivables	$	603	$	609
Allowance for credit losses	(21)		(24)
Total finance receivables, net	$	582	$	585

Finance Receivable Portfolio Quality

We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to estimated collateral value and the financial strength of individual borrowers and guarantors. Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual.

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. 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.

Finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators and by the delinquency aging category are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Performing	$	568	$	571
Watchlist	22		23
Nonaccrual	13		15
Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables	2.16%		2.46%
Current and less than 31 days past due	$	582	$	589
31-60 days past due	18		16
61-90 days past due	—		—
Over 90 days past due	3		4
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables	0.50%		0.66%

At March 30, 2024, 35% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2022 and 30% were originated from 2019 to 2021 with the remainder prior to 2019. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 100% were originated from 2020 to 2021, and for nonaccrual, 100% were originated prior to 2020.

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.

Note 4. Accounts Payable and Warranty Liability

Accounts Payable

Supplier Financing Arrangement

We have a financing arrangement with one of our suppliers for a maximum amount of $175 million that extends payment terms for up to 190 days from the receipt of goods and provides for the supplier to be paid by a financial institution earlier than maturity. This financing arrangement expires in June 2024. As of March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the amount due under this supplier financing arrangement was $135 million and $125 million, respectively.

Warranty Liability

Changes in our warranty liability are as follows:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Beginning of period	$	172	$	149
Provision	17		15
Settlements	(18)		(18)
Adjustments*	(1)		3
End of period	$	170	$	149

* Adjustments include changes to prior year estimates, new issues on prior year sales and currency translation adjustments.

Note 5. Leases

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 25 years, which include options to extend the lease term for periods up to 20 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Operating lease cost totaled $18 million and $17 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Variable and short-term lease costs were not significant. Cash paid for operating leases totaled $18 million and $17 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transactions totaled $25 million and $15 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for new or extended leases.

10

Balance sheet and other information related to our operating leases is as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Other assets	$	382	$	371
Other current liabilities	57		55
Other liabilities	334		326
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)	10.1		10.3
Weighted-average discount rate	4.69%		4.70%

At March 30, 2024, maturities of our operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis totaled $55 million for the remainder of 2024, $66 million for 2025, $52 million for 2026, $44 million for 2027, $42 million for 2028 and $242 million thereafter.

Note 6. 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 March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $681 million and $478 million, respectively. At March 30, 2024, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $2 million asset and a $10 million liability. At December 30, 2023, the fair value amount of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $4 million asset and a $3 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. The fair value of our interest rate 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.

At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $185 million that effectively converts the variable-rate interest for these Notes to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.17%; these agreements have maturities ranging from August 2025 to August 2028. At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million that matures in June 2025 and effectively converts variable-rate interest on a term loan to a fixed rate of 4.13%. The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap agreements was a $6 million asset at March 30, 2024 and a $4 million asset at December 30, 2023.

11

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not reflected in the financial statements at fair value are as follows:

	March 30, 2024				December 30, 2023
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
(In millions)	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Manufacturing group
Debt, excluding leases	$	(3,168)	$	(2,965)	$	(3,520)	$	(3,342)
Finance group
Finance receivables, excluding leases	416		422		417		423
Debt	(342)		(305)		(348)		(293)

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.

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:

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	March 30, 2024	April 1, 2023
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	192,800	204,835
Dilutive effect of stock options	2,060	2,176
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	194,860	207,011

Stock options to purchase 1.0 million and 2.0 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Segment Information

We operate in, and reported financial information for, the following six operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; 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.

Our revenues by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income before income taxes, are included in the table below:

Remaining Performance Obligations

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 March 30, 2024, we had $13.7 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 85% through 2025, an additional 14% through 2027, and the balance thereafter.  

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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 March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, contract assets totaled $426 million and $513 million, respectively, and contract liabilities totaled $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, reflecting timing differences between revenues recognized, billings and payments from customers. We recognized revenues of $327 million and $316 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year.

Note 10. Share-Based Compensation

Under our share-based compensation plan, we have authorization to provide awards to selected employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, performance share units and other awards.  Compensation expense included in net income for our share-based compensation plan is as follows:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Compensation expense	$	77	$	45
Income tax benefit	(19)		(11)
Total compensation expense included in net income	$	58	$	34

Compensation expense included stock option expense of $15 million and $14 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. We typically grant stock appreciation rights to selected non-U.S. employees. At March 30, 2024, outstanding stock appreciation rights totaled 409,232 with a weighted-average exercise price of $62.60 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.6 years; these units had an intrinsic value of $14 million, compared to $10 million at April 1, 2023.

15

Stock Options

Options to purchase our shares have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest ratably over a three-year period. Stock option compensation cost is calculated under the fair value approach using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted on the date of grant. The expected volatility used in this model is based on historical volatilities and implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock.  The expected term is based on historical option exercise data, which is adjusted to reflect any anticipated changes in expected behavior.

We grant options annually on the first day of March. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model for these grants and the weighted-average fair value for these options are as follows:

	March 1, 2024		March 1, 2023
Fair value of options at grant date	$	27.69	$	23.83
Dividend yield	0.1%		0.1%
Expected volatility	27.2%		29.4%
Risk-free interest rate	4.3%		4.2%
Expected term (in years)	4.8		4.8

The stock option activity during the first quarter of 2024 is provided below:

(Options in thousands)	Number of Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price
Outstanding at December 30, 2023	7,515	$	54.25

Forfeited or expired	(8)	(71.23)
Outstanding at March 30, 2024	7,038	$	60.78
Exercisable at March 30, 2024	5,001	$	53.19

At March 30, 2024, our outstanding options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $247 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.4 years. Our exercisable options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $214 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.3 years at March 30, 2024.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $60 million and $19 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

We issue restricted stock units that include the right to receive dividend equivalents and are settled in both cash and stock. Beginning in 2020, new grants of restricted stock units will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock units granted prior to 2020 vest one-third each in the third, fourth and fifth year following the year of the grant. Compensation cost is determined using the fair value of these units based on the trading price of our common stock. For units payable in stock, we use the trading price on the grant date, while units payable in cash are remeasured using the price at each reporting period date.

The activity for restricted stock units payable in both stock and cash during the first quarter of 2024 is provided below:

	Units Payable in Stock			Units Payable in Cash
(Shares/Units in thousands)	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

Cash paid under these awards totaled $35 million and $27 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Note 11. Retirement Plans

We provide defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits to eligible employees.  The 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 $4 million for both the first quarter of 2024 and 2023.

Note 12. Special Charges

On April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of Textron’s 2023 restructuring plan to further reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions. In the first quarter of 2024, both the Shadow and Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft programs were cancelled at the Textron Systems and Bell segments, resulting in additional severance costs under the restructuring plan. Additionally, we increased our planned headcount reduction within the Industrial segment due to lower anticipated consumer demand for certain products at the Specialized Vehicles product line and reduced demand for fuel systems from European automotive manufacturers at Kautex. We now expect to incur additional severance costs in the second quarter of 2024 in the range of $25 million to $30 million, largely related to headcount reductions within the Industrial segment.

Since inception of the 2023 restructuring plan, we have incurred $140 million in special charges, including severance costs of $52 million, which included $22 million at the Industrial segment, $18 million at the Bell segment and $12 million at the Textron Systems segment; and asset impairment charges of $88 million at the Industrial segment. Special charges in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $14 million, which included $13 million in severance costs and $1 million in asset impairment charges in connection with this plan; we recorded $7 million of these charges at the Textron Systems segment, $5 million at the Bell segment and $2 million at the Industrial segment.

17

Headcount reductions since inception of the plan are expected to total approximately 1,500 positions, representing 4% of our global workforce. We estimate that remaining future cash outlays under this plan will be in the range of $60 million to $65 million, most of which we expect to pay in 2024. We expect charges under this plan to be substantially completed by the end of the first half of 2024.

Our restructuring reserve activity is summarized below:

(In millions)	Severance Costs		Contract Terminations and Other		Total

Note 13. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 15.2% and 15.9%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, the favorable impact of research and development credits, and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income. In the first quarter of 2023, 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.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to actual and threatened 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; disputes with suppliers, production partners or other third parties; product liability; patent and trademark infringement; employment disputes; and environmental, health and safety 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.

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 24.

Revenues

Revenues increased $111 million, 4%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with the first quarter of 2023. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:

•Higher Bell revenues of $106 million, largely reflecting higher military volume of $95 million, primarily related to the FLRAA program, partially offset by lower volume on the V-22 and H-1 programs.

•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $39 million, reflecting higher pricing of $48 million, partially offset by lower volume and mix of $9 million.

•Lower Industrial revenues of $40 million, due to lower volume and mix of $51 million, principally in the Specialized Vehicles product line, partially offset by higher pricing of $16 million.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales includes cost of products and services sold for the Manufacturing group. In the first quarter of 2024, cost of sales increased $83 million, 3%, compared with the first quarter of 2023, largely due to the impact of higher net volume and mix described above and $52 million of inflation.

Selling and administrative expense increased $11 million, 4%, in the first quarter of 2024, compared with the first quarter of 2023, primarily reflecting higher share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a gain on a legal settlement and a recovery of amounts that were previously written off related to one customer relationship in the Finance segment.

Special Charges

Special charges include restructuring activities and asset impairment charges as described in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1. Financial Statements.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 15.2% and 15.9%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, the favorable impact of research and development credits, and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income. In the first quarter of 2023, 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.

Segment Analysis

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following six operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; 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 and selling and administrative expense, while excluding certain corporate expenses, LIFO inventory provision, intangible asset amortization 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, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 21% of our 2023 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.

Bell’s military aircraft and support programs include a development contract for the U.S. Army's FLRAA program, as well as production, upgrade, and support contracts for the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and H-1 helicopters. The FLRAA program has begun to represent an increasing portion of Bell’s revenues as development activities have ramped. We continue to receive production, upgrade and support orders for the V-22 and H-1 programs, however, these programs are expected to represent a lower portion of Bell’s military revenue in the future. In the first quarter of 2024, Bell received a foreign military sale award for the production and delivery of 12 AH-1Z helicopters.

Finance

Segment profit	18		8

Finance segment revenues increased $3 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared with the first quarter of 2023, and segment profit increased $10 million. The increase in segment profit was largely due to an $8 million recovery of amounts that were previously written off related to one customer relationship. The following table reflects information about the Finance segment’s credit performance related to finance receivables.

(Dollars in millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Finance receivables	$	603	$	609
Allowance for credit losses	21		24
Ratio of allowance for credit losses to finance receivables	3.48%		3.94%

60+ days contractual delinquency	3		4
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables	0.50%		0.66%

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 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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, Industrial and Textron eAviation 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.

Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:

(Dollars in millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Manufacturing group
Cash and equivalents	$	1,388	$	2,121
Debt	3,175		3,526
Shareholders’ equity	6,931		6,987
Capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity)	10,106		10,513
Net debt (net of cash and equivalents) to capital	20%		17%
Debt to capital	31%		34%
Finance group
Cash and equivalents	$	78	$	60
Debt	342		348

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

Textron has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which $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 and provides for two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were $9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.

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. On March 1, 2024, we repaid our $350 million 4.30% Notes due March 2024.

Manufacturing Group Cash Flows

Cash flows for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Operating activities	$	(30)	$	153
Investing activities	(60)		(42)
Financing activities	(635)		(361)

In the first quarter of 2024, the net cash outflow from operating activities was $30 million, compared with a net cash inflow of $153 million in the first quarter of 2023. The $183 million decrease in cash flows was largely due to changes in working capital, primarily due to the timing of payments on accounts payable. We expect positive cash flows from operating activities for the full year.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $66 million of capital expenditures. Investing activities in the first quarter of 2023 included $62 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $20 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies.

25

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $352 million of payments on long-term debt and $317 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 3.6 million shares of our common stock. In the first quarter of 2023, cash flows used in financing activities included $377 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 5.2 million shares of our common stock.

Finance Group Cash Flows

Cash flows for the Finance group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Operating activities	$	1	$	4
Investing activities	19		19
Financing activities	(2)		(15)

The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included collections on finance receivables totaling $47 million and $35 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, partially offset by finance receivable originations of $28 million and $17 million, respectively. In the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $13 million and $15 million, respectively.  

Consolidated Cash Flows

The consolidated cash flows after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Operating activities	$	(7)	$	163
Investing activities	(63)		(29)
Financing activities	(637)		(376)

In the first quarter of 2024, the net cash outflow from operating activities was $7 million, compared with a net cash inflow of $163 million in the first quarter of 2023. The $170 million decrease in cash flows was largely due to changes in working capital, primarily due to the timing of payments on accounts payable.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $66 million of capital expenditures. Investing activities in the first quarter of 2023 included $62 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $20 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first quarter of 2024 included $365 million of payments on long-term debt and $317 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. In the first quarter of 2023, cash flows used in financing activities included $377 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.

26

Reclassification adjustments included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023

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 December 30, 2023. 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:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

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 December 30, 2023.  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, Industrial and Textron eAviation 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.

Contract Estimates

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 first quarter of 2024 and 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $13 million and $8 million, respectively, and net income by $10 million and $6 million, respectively ($0.05 and $0.03 per diluted share, respectively).

Total finance receivables, net	$	582	$	585

Finance Receivable Portfolio Quality

We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to estimated collateral value and the financial strength of individual borrowers and guarantors. Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual.

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. 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.

Finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators and by the delinquency aging category are summarized as follows:

(Dollars in millions)	March 30, 2024		December 30, 2023
Performing	$	568	$	571
Watchlist	22		23
Nonaccrual	13		15
Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables	2.16%		2.46%
Current and less than 31 days past due	$	582	$	589
31-60 days past due	18		16
61-90 days past due	—		—
Over 90 days past due	3		4
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables	0.50%		0.66%

At March 30, 2024, 35% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2022 and 30% were originated from 2019 to 2021 with the remainder prior to 2019. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 100% were originated from 2020 to 2021, and for nonaccrual, 100% were originated prior to 2020.

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.

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.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

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 25 years, which include options to extend the lease term for periods up to 20 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Operating lease cost totaled $18 million and $17 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. Variable and short-term lease costs were not significant. Cash paid for operating leases totaled $18 million and $17 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transactions totaled $25 million and $15 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, reflecting the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for new or extended leases.

Balance sheet and other information related to our operating leases is as follows:

Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

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 March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $681 million and $478 million, respectively. At March 30, 2024, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $2 million asset and a $10 million liability. At December 30, 2023, the fair value amount of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $4 million asset and a $3 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. The fair value of our interest rate 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.

At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had interest rate swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $185 million that effectively converts the variable-rate interest for these Notes to a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.17%; these agreements have maturities ranging from August 2025 to August 2028. At March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, we had an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $25 million that matures in June 2025 and effectively converts variable-rate interest on a term loan to a fixed rate of 4.13%. The fair value of our outstanding interest rate swap agreements was a $6 million asset at March 30, 2024 and a $4 million asset at December 30, 2023.

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying value and estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not reflected in the financial statements at fair value are as follows:

	March 30, 2024				December 30, 2023
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
(In millions)	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Manufacturing group
Debt, excluding leases	$	(3,168)	$	(2,965)	$	(3,520)	$	(3,342)
Finance group
Finance receivables, excluding leases	416		422		417		423
Debt	(342)		(305)		(348)		(293)

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 $0.02 for both the first quarter of 2024 and 2023.

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:

	Three Months Ended
(In thousands)	March 30, 2024	April 1, 2023
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	192,800	204,835
Dilutive effect of stock options	2,060	2,176
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	194,860	207,011

Stock options to purchase 1.0 million and 2.0 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Remaining Performance Obligations

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 March 30, 2024, we had $13.7 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 85% through 2025, an additional 14% through 2027, and the balance thereafter.  

Contract Assets and Liabilities

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 March 30, 2024 and December 30, 2023, contract assets totaled $426 million and $513 million, respectively, and contract liabilities totaled $1.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, reflecting timing differences between revenues recognized, billings and payments from customers. We recognized revenues of $327 million and $316 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]

Share-Based Compensation

Share-Based Compensation

Under our share-based compensation plan, we have authorization to provide awards to selected employees and non-employee directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, performance share units and other awards.  Compensation expense included in net income for our share-based compensation plan is as follows:

	Three Months Ended
(In millions)	March 30, 2024		April 1, 2023
Compensation expense	$	77	$	45
Income tax benefit	(19)		(11)
Total compensation expense included in net income	$	58	$	34

Compensation expense included stock option expense of $15 million and $14 million in the first quarter of 2024 and 2023, respectively. We typically grant stock appreciation rights to selected non-U.S. employees. At March 30, 2024, outstanding stock appreciation rights totaled 409,232 with a weighted-average exercise price of $62.60 and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.6 years; these units had an intrinsic value of $14 million, compared to $10 million at April 1, 2023.

Stock Options

Options to purchase our shares have a maximum term of ten years and generally vest ratably over a three-year period. Stock option compensation cost is calculated under the fair value approach using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to determine the fair value of options granted on the date of grant. The expected volatility used in this model is based on historical volatilities and implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock.  The expected term is based on historical option exercise data, which is adjusted to reflect any anticipated changes in expected behavior.

We grant options annually on the first day of March. The assumptions used in our option-pricing model for these grants and the weighted-average fair value for these options are as follows:

	March 1, 2024		March 1, 2023
Fair value of options at grant date	$	27.69	$	23.83
Dividend yield	0.1%		0.1%
Expected volatility	27.2%		29.4%
Risk-free interest rate	4.3%		4.2%
Expected term (in years)	4.8		4.8

The stock option activity during the first quarter of 2024 is provided below:

(Options in thousands)	Number of Options	Weighted- Average Exercise Price

Outstanding at March 30, 2024	7,038	$	60.78
Exercisable at March 30, 2024	5,001	$	53.19

At March 30, 2024, our outstanding options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $247 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 6.4 years. Our exercisable options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $214 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 5.3 years at March 30, 2024.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was $60 million and $19 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

We issue restricted stock units that include the right to receive dividend equivalents and are settled in both cash and stock. Beginning in 2020, new grants of restricted stock units will vest in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock units granted prior to 2020 vest one-third each in the third, fourth and fifth year following the year of the grant. Compensation cost is determined using the fair value of these units based on the trading price of our common stock. For units payable in stock, we use the trading price on the grant date, while units payable in cash are remeasured using the price at each reporting period date.

The activity for restricted stock units payable in both stock and cash during the first quarter of 2024 is provided below:

	Units Payable in Stock			Units Payable in Cash
(Shares/Units in thousands)	Number of Shares	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value		Number of Units	Weighted- Average Grant Date Fair Value

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Special Charges

Special Charges

On April 24, 2024, the Board of Directors approved the expansion of Textron’s 2023 restructuring plan to further reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions. In the first quarter of 2024, both the Shadow and Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft programs were cancelled at the Textron Systems and Bell segments, resulting in additional severance costs under the restructuring plan. Additionally, we increased our planned headcount reduction within the Industrial segment due to lower anticipated consumer demand for certain products at the Specialized Vehicles product line and reduced demand for fuel systems from European automotive manufacturers at Kautex. We now expect to incur additional severance costs in the second quarter of 2024 in the range of $25 million to $30 million, largely related to headcount reductions within the Industrial segment.

Since inception of the 2023 restructuring plan, we have incurred $140 million in special charges, including severance costs of $52 million, which included $22 million at the Industrial segment, $18 million at the Bell segment and $12 million at the Textron Systems segment; and asset impairment charges of $88 million at the Industrial segment. Special charges in the first quarter of 2024 totaled $14 million, which included $13 million in severance costs and $1 million in asset impairment charges in connection with this plan; we recorded $7 million of these charges at the Textron Systems segment, $5 million at the Bell segment and $2 million at the Industrial segment.

Headcount reductions since inception of the plan are expected to total approximately 1,500 positions, representing 4% of our global workforce. We estimate that remaining future cash outlays under this plan will be in the range of $60 million to $65 million, most of which we expect to pay in 2024. We expect charges under this plan to be substantially completed by the end of the first half of 2024.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2024 and 2023 was 15.2% and 15.9%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2024, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the recognition of excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, the favorable impact of research and development credits, and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income. In the first quarter of 2023, 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.
