TEXTRON INC.

TEXTRON INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.January 4, 2020.  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 two2 separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments. The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.  All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group.

Use of Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined.

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 20192020 and 2018,2019, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased revenuerevenues and segment profit by $31$2 million and $40$31 million, respectively, and net income by $23$1 million and $30$23 million, respectively ($0.100.01 and $0.12$0.10 per diluted share, respectively). In the first quarter of 20192020 and 2018,2019, gross favorable adjustments totaled $53$27 million and $56$53 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable adjustments totaled $25 million and $22 million, and $16 million, respectively.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Update

At the beginning of 2019, 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02,2016-13, Leases Financial Instruments - Credit Losses(ASC 842), which requires lessees (ASC 326). This standard changed the prior incurred loss model to recognize all leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheetforward-looking current expected credit loss model for most financial assets, such as right-of-usetrade and finance receivables, contract assets and lease liabilities. Upon adoption, the most significant impact was the recognition of $307 million in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained unchanged.  We applied the provisions of thisother instruments. This standard to our existing leases at the adoption date usingrequired a retrospective transition method and have not adjusted comparative periods. The cumulative transitioncumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption with no restatement of prior periods. There was notno significant and the adoption had no impact on our earnings or cash flows.  We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward the historical lease classification and to apply hindsight when evaluating options within a contract, resulting in the extensionconsolidated financial statements upon adoption of the lease term for certain of our existing leases.standard.

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018.January 4, 2020.  Significant changes to our policies resulting from the adoption of ASC 842326 are provided below.

LeasesAccounts Receivable, Net

We identify leases by evaluating our contractsAccounts receivable, net includes amounts billed to determine if the contract conveyscustomers where the right to usepayment is unconditional. We maintain an allowance for credit losses for our commercial accounts receivable to provide for the estimated amount that will not be collected, even when the risk of loss is remote. The allowance is measured on a collective pool basis when similar risk characteristics exists and is established as a percentage of accounts receivable.  We have identified asset for a stated periodpools with similar risk characteristics, based on

customer and have the right to obtain substantiallyindustry type and geographic location. The percentage is based on all available and relevant information including age of theoutstanding receivables and collateral value, if any, historical payment experience and loss history, current economic benefits or outputsconditions, and, when reasonable and supportable factors exist, management’s expectation of future economic conditions. For amounts due from the asset.  For our contracts that contain both lease components  (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxesU.S. Government, we have not established an allowance for credit losses as we have zero loss expectation based on a long history of no credit losses and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs, other goods/services), we allocate the considerationexplicit guarantee of a sovereign entity.

Finance Receivables, Net

We establish an allowance for credit losses to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the contract to each componentportfolio. This allowance is established as a percentage of finance receivables categorized by pools with similar risk characteristics, such as collateral or customer type and geographic location. The percentage is based on its standalone price.  Leases with terms greater than 12 months are classifieda combination of factors, including historical loss experience, current delinquency and default trends, collateral values, current economic conditions, and, when reasonable and supportable factors exist, management’s expectation of future economic conditions.

For those finance receivables that do not have similar risk characteristics, including larger balance accounts specifically identified as either operating or finance leasesimpaired, a reserve is established based on comparing the expected future cash flows, discounted at the commencement date.  For these leases, we capitalize the lesser of a) the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term,finance receivable's effective interest rate, or b) the fair value of the asset,underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to its carrying amount. The expected future cash flows consider collateral value; financial performance and liquidity of our borrower; existence and financial strength of guarantors; estimated recovery costs, including legal expenses; and costs associated with the repossession and eventual disposal of collateral. When there is a range of potential outcomes, we perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the potential outcomes based on their relative likelihood of occurrence. The evaluation of our portfolio is inherently subjective, as a right-of-use asset with an offsetting lease liability. The discount rate usedit requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to calculatebe received on impaired finance receivables and the presentestimated fair value of the minimum lease paymentsunderlying collateral, which may differ from actual results. While our analysis is typically our incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicitspecific to each individual account, critical factors included in the lease is generally not known or determinable. The lease term includes any noncancelable period for which we have the right to use the assetthis analysis include industry valuation guides, age and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option.  Operating leases are recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while finance lease cost is recognized separately as amortization and interest expense.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

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

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 three3 categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three3 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.

9

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.

In March 2020, due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and at the request of certain of our customers, we began working with them to provide temporary payment relief through loan modifications. For loan modifications that cover payment-relief periods in excess of six months, even if the loan was previously current, the loan is deemed a troubled debt restructuring and considered impaired. These impaired loans are classified as either nonaccrual or watchlist based on a review of the credit quality indicators as discussed above. Loan modifications in the first quarter of 2020 were not significant, however, we are working on modifications for approximately 30% of our total finance receivables. 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.

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

At April 4, 2020, 31% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2019 and 35% were originated from 2016 to 2018. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 36% were originated since the beginning of 2019 and 23% from 2016 to 2018.

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.

During the first quarter of 2020, we borrowed $377 million against these policies as we strengthened our cash position in light of disruptions in the capital markets caused by FlightSafety International Inc. and TRU to provide training solutions for Textron Aviation’s business and general aviation aircraft. Our 30% investment in this newly formed company will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting.  The assets of the training business met the criteria to beCOVID-19 pandemic.

Note 7. Leases

We primarily lease certain manufacturing plants, offices, warehouses, training and service centers at various locations worldwide that are classified as either operating or finance leases. Our finance leases at April 4, 2020 were not significant. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms up to 3029 years, which include options to extend the lease term for periods up to 25 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. In the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, both our operating lease cost and cash paid for these leases totaled $15 million and $16 million. Our finance lease cost and our variablemillion, respectively. Variable and short-term lease costs were not significant. In the first quarter of 2019, cash paid for operating lease liabilities totaled $16 million, which is classified in cash flows from operating activities.

Note 8.  Debt

On April 1, 2020, we entered into a 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million and borrowed the full principal amount available under the agreement. At our current credit ratings, the borrowings accrue interest at a rate equal to the London interbank offered rate plus 2.00%, which is an annual interest rate of 3.00% at April 4, 2020. We can pre-pay any amount of the principal balance during the term of the loan; however, we cannot borrow additional principal amounts. The Term Loan Credit Agreement restricts us from incurring additional indebtedness, subject to various exceptions, one of which allows us to borrow under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. While this loan is outstanding, we have agreed not to repurchase any of our common stock. The principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees, will be due on March 30, 2019 are as follows:31, 2021.

Under our shelf registration statement, on March 17, 2020, we issued $650 million of fixed-rate notes due June 1, 2030 with an annual interest rate of 3.00%. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $643 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.

Note 8.9.  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, 2019April 4, 2020 and December 29, 2018,January 4, 2020, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $489$410 million and $379$342 million, respectively.  At March 30, 2019,April 4, 2020, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $4$14 million asset and a $7$18 million liability.  At December 29, 2018,January 4, 2020, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $2 million asset and a $10$2 million liability.

We hedge our net investment position in certain major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, we borrow directly in the foreign currency and designate a portion of the debt as a hedge of the net investment. We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges.  Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, were not significant in the periods presented.

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:

At March 30, 2019,April 4, 2020, we had $9.7$9.2 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 70%72% through 2020,2021, an additional 23%21% through 2022,2023, 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.

During the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, we recognized revenues of $231 million and $311 million, in revenues that were included in the contract liability balance at December 29, 2018. We recognized $322 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2018respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the adoption date.beginning of each year.

Note 12.13.  Share-Based Compensation

Under our share-based compensation plans, 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. Share-based compensationCompensation expense, or income in periods of share price depreciation, for awards subject only to service conditions vest ratably andthese plans is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For employees eligible for early retirement under the plans, the service requirement of the award is satisfied at the date of grant and the expense is recognized in the period the award is granted.  Compensation expense  included in net income for these plans is as follows:

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   ��

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 implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock, historical volatilities and other factors. The expected term is based on historical option exercise data, which is adjusted to reflect any anticipated changes in expected behavior.

The weighted-average fair valueWe grant options annually on the first day of options grantedMarch and the assumptions used in our option-pricing model and the weighted-average fair value  for such grantsthese options are as follows:

Note 14.15. Special Charges

In the first quarter of 2020, we recorded $39 million in asset impairment charges in the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments. The aviation industry in which Textron Aviation operates has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have experienced decreased demand for our products and services as our customers have delayed or ceased orders due to the current environment of economic uncertainty. In light of these conditions, Textron Aviation has temporarily shut down most aircraft production, including the King Air turboprop and Beechcraft piston product lines, and has instituted employee furloughs. Based on these events, we performed an interim impairment test of the indefinite-lived Beechcraft and King Air trade name intangible assets at April 4, 2020. Fair value of these assets was determined utilizing the relief of royalty method assuming an increase in the discount rate based on current market data to 9.7% and revised expectations of future revenues for the products and services associated with the tradenames. This analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $32 million. At April 4, 2020, these intangible assets totaled $169 million.

In the Industrial segment, the Specialized Vehicles product line has experienced reduced demand for its products as the consumer and commercial markets in which it operates have been significantly impacted by the pandemic. Many of the dealers and retail stores that sell its products are currently closed throughout the U.S. and globally, and there is uncertainty as to when they will reopen. Based on these events, we performed an interim intangible impairment test of the indefinite-lived Arctic Cat trade name intangible asset using the relief of royalty method and recorded an impairment charge of $7 million to fully impair this asset.

Note 16. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 was 27.5% and 2018 was 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2020, the effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $10 million tax provision established related to a decision to dividend cash back from select non-U.S. jurisdictions to the U.S. in 2020. In the first quarter of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, of 21%, primarily due to a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research credits related to prior years.   In the first quarter of 2018, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to benefits recognized from audit settlements.

Our reserve for unrecognized tax benefits totaled $175 million and $141 million at March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The increase in this reserve largely reflects a claim filed in the first quarter of 2019 for tax credits related to prior years.

Note 15.17. Commitments and Contingencies

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

Item 2.Management’s  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Recent Developments

The global pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, known as “COVID-19”, has led to worldwide facility closures, workforce disruptions, supply chain destabilizations, reduced demand for many products and services, volatility in the capital markets and uncertainty in the economic outlook. Our operations have experienced and continue to experience various degrees of disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the pandemic. While our U.S. business operations are largely excluded from various state and local government shut-down orders implemented as a result of COVID-19, certain of our commercial manufacturing facilities have temporarily closed and/or  furloughed employees due to reduced demand for our products. In addition, certain of our non-U.S. facilities have been, and a few currently are, subject to government issued shut-down orders and operating restrictions.  Our businesses are and may continue to be affected by various other COVID-19 related challenges, including remote working arrangements, adherence to social distancing guidelines, travel restrictions, quarantines and other workforce and supply chain disruptions. Additionally, government shut-down orders and operating restrictions are subject to change at any time and our business could be further impacted by these actions in the future.

Our top priority has been the safety of our employees, and we have taken steps to implement safe work practices to protect the health of our employees, including reconfiguring workspaces to enable adherence to social distancing guidelines and increasing cleaning and disinfecting of our facilities. We have formed enterprise-wide response teams to implement actions and provide guidance for our businesses on reducing the spread of COVID-19 in the workplace. We have also enhanced our IT infrastructure to support employees who are working remotely.

At Bell and Textron Systems, as U.S. defense contractors, a significant portion of their operations remain open and these businesses continue to fulfill their contracts with the U.S. Government.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted revenues and segment profit during the quarter for our commercial businesses, which have experienced decreased demand most notably for general aviation products and services, recreational and other specialized vehicles and our automotive products. In particular, as a result of the outbreak of COVID-19, Textron Aviation has experienced decreased demand for its products and services and has temporarily shut down most aircraft production and instituted employee furloughs. The Industrial segment has also been significantly impacted due to reduced demand, temporary manufacturing facility closures throughout the world and employee furloughs.  At our Finance segment, we are working with customers impacted by the pandemic to provide temporary payment relief, primarily in the form of interest-free periods, as discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

We ended the quarter with $2.4 billion in cash and cash equivalents and we have a $1.0 billion credit facility which remains undrawn.  We strengthened our cash position during the quarter by issuing $650 million in senior debt and by borrowing $500 million under a new 364-day term loan credit agreement. In addition, we have taken measures to reduce costs and conserve cash, including closing manufacturing facilities and implementing employee furloughs at many of our commercial businesses, reducing capital expenditures, delaying certain research and development projects, and other cost reduction and cash preservation actions.  We have also taken other measures to ensure adequate liquidity such as suspending share repurchases and deferring U.S. payroll tax payments as permitted under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (Cares Act).  While we expect the impacts of COVID-19 to continue to have an adverse effect on our business, we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the extent to which the disruption may impact our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in 2020 and beyond.  

As of April 4, 2020, we have reviewed our assets that are subject to impairment in light of the pandemic, resulting in charges that are included in the Special Charges section below. While we do not currently anticipate any material impairments on our other assets as a result of the pandemic, as discussed in the Critical Accounting Estimates – Goodwill section on pages 29 to 30, future changes in revenue expectations, earnings and cash flows related to intangible assets, goodwill and other long-lived assets below current projections could cause these assets to be impaired.  There are many uncertainties regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, and we are closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company is uncertain and will depend on future developments, and such effects could exist for an extended period of time, even after the pandemic ends.

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 2022 to 23.26.

Revenues

Revenues decreased $187$332 million, 6%11%, in the first quarter of 2019,2020, compared with the first quarter of 2018, largely driven by the disposition of the Tools and Test Equipment product line within the Industrial segment which occurred on July 2, 2018.2019. The net revenue decrease included the following factors:

Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $262 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $260 million, primarily from  lower Citation jet volume and commercial turboprop volume, reflecting a decline in demand related to the pandemic, disruption in our composite manufacturing production due to a plant accident that occurred in December 2019, and delays in the acceptance of aircraft related to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Lower Industrial revenues of $172 million, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $164 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line related to manufacturing facility closures that began in China in January and extended to almost all locations by the end of the quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Higher Bell revenues of $80 million, primarily due to higher military revenue of $112 million, partially offset by lower commercial revenues, principally due to delayed deliveries as a result of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
Higher Textron Systems revenues of $21 million, primarily reflecting higher volume.

·Lower Industrial revenues of $219 million, primarily due to $128 million in lower revenues due to the impact from the disposition of the Tools and Test Equipment product line and lower volume of $72 million.

·                  Lower Textron Systems revenues of $80 million, largely reflecting lower volume of $44 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line and $36 million in the Unmanned Systems product line.

·                  Lower Bell revenues of $13 million, as lower commercial revenues of $34 million, largely due to lower aircraft deliveries, were partially offset by higher military revenues of $21 million.

·Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $124 million, primarily due to higher volume and mix of $118 million.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales decreased $152$190 million, 6%7%, in the first quarter of 2019,2020, compared with the first quarter of 2018,2019, largely resulting from the disposition of the Tools and Test Equipment product line and lower net volume and mix described above. Gross margin as described above. a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 310 basis points, primarily due to lower margin at both the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments, largely reflecting the impact of lower volume and mix and unfavorable performance related to idle facility costs. We expensed approximately $25 million of idle facility costs in the first quarter of 2020 due to temporary manufacturing facility closures and employee furloughs resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Selling and administrative expense decreased $20$44 million, 6%14%, in the first quarter of 2019,2020, compared with the first quarter of 2018,2019, primarily reflecting the impact fromlower share-based compensation expense.

Special Charges

In the dispositionfirst quarter of 2020, we recorded $39 million in asset impairment charges in the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments. In light of the Toolsimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for turboprop aircraft, we performed an interim impairment test of Textron Aviation’s indefinite-lived intangible assets at April 4, 2020. We utilized a higher discount rate based on current market data and Test Equipmentrevised our expectation of future revenues for the Beechcraft and King Air models, resulting in an impairment charge of $32 million.  At April 4, 2020, these intangibles totaled $169 million.

In the Industrial segment, the Specialized Vehicles business product line. has experienced reduced demand in the consumer and commercial markets in which it operates, reflecting the impact of the pandemic. As a result, we performed an interim intangible impairment test of the indefinite-lived Arctic Cat trade name intangible asset and recorded an impairment charge of $7 million to fully impair the asset.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2020 and 2019 was 27.5% and 2018 was 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2020, the effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $10 million tax provision established related to a decision to dividend cash back from select non-U.S. jurisdictions to the U.S. in 2020. In the first quarter of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate, of 21%, primarily due to a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research credits related to prior years.   In the first quarteryears.

Segment Analysis

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, 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 other non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit), and exclude certain corporate expenses and special charges.

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit typically are expressed for our commercial businessbusinesses typically are expressed in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, while changes in segment profit may be expressed in terms of volume and mix, inflation and cost 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.  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.  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/(credit), product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 24% of our 20182019 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program.program. For our segments that contract with the U.S. Government, changes in revenuerevenues related to these contracts are expressed in terms of volume. Revenues for our U.S. Government contracts are primarily recognized as costs are incurred. 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.

During the first quarter of 2020, 60+ days delinquency increased by $38 million, largely due to one customer. The Finance segment is working to provide relief to customers through loan modifications as discussed above, however, if the current economic conditions continue to persist or worsen, we may experience increased customer delinquencies. 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 for the portfolio are discussed in Note 3 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 and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.  We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.  Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services.  Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe thatAs discussed in the Recent Developments section on page 20, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to volatility in the capital markets and uncertainty in the economic outlook, in addition to various degrees of disruption in our calculationsoperations due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the pandemic. In light of debtthese conditions, we have strengthened our cash position by increasing our borrowings as discussed below and have suspended share repurchases. In addition, we have taken other measures to reduce costs and conserve cash, including closing manufacturing facilities and implementing employee furloughs at many of our commercial businesses, reducing capital expenditures, delaying certain research and net debtdevelopment projects, and other cost reduction and cash preservation actions. While we expect the impacts of COVID-19 to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indicationcontinue to have an adverse effect on our business, we cannot reasonably estimate the length or severity of this pandemic, or the levelextent to which the disruption may impact our consolidated financial position, results of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that isoperations and cash flows in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage.  2020 and beyond. We believe that we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs based on our existing cash balances, the cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations and other available funding alternatives, as appropriate.the availability of our existing credit facility.

Credit Facilities and Other Sources of Capital

Textron has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in September 2021 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 2024, 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. At March 30, 2019,April 4, 2020 and January 4, 2020, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility.

On April 1, 2020, we entered into a 364-Day Term Loan Credit Agreement in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million and borrowed the full principal amount available under the agreement. At our current credit ratings, the borrowings accrue interest at a rate equal to the London interbank offered rate plus 2.0%, which is an annual interest rate of 3.00% at April 4, 2020. We can pre-pay any amount of the principal balance during the term of the loan; however, we cannot borrow additional principal amounts. The Term Loan Credit Agreement restricts us from incurring additional indebtedness, subject to various exceptions, one of which allows us to borrow under our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. While this loan is outstanding, we have agreed not to repurchase any of our common stock. The principal amount outstanding, plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees, is due on March 31, 2021.

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.  Under this registration statement, on March 17, 2020, we issued $650 million of fixed-rate notes due June 2030 with an annual interest rate of 3.00%.

To further enhance our liquidity, in the first quarter of 2020, we borrowed $377 million against the cash surrender value of our corporate-owned life insurance policies, representing the maximum amount available to be borrowed against these policies.

The first quarter of our fiscal year typically results in net cash outflow from operating activities. Consistent with prior years, we expect positive cash flows from operating activities for the full year.  In the first quarter of 2019,2020, the net cash outflow from operating activities was $196$393 million, compared with $53$196 million in the first quarter of 2018,2019, primarily reflecting changes in working capital, which includedlower earnings and an increase in cash outflows of $113$127 million related to changes in inventories between the periods.periods, principally at the Textron Aviation segment.

Cash flows used in investing activities primarily included capital expenditures of $59$50 million and $77$59 million in the first quarter of 2020 and 2019, and 2018, respectively.  Investing

In the first quarter of 2020, cash flows alsoprovided by financing activities primarily included net proceeds of $643 million from the issuance of long-term debt and $498 million from borrowings under the 364-Day Term Loan facility discussed above. In addition, we received $377 million in proceeds from borrowings against corporate-owned life insurance policies and $105 million of $2proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper. These cash inflows were partially offset by $54 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 1.3 million shares of our common stock under both a prior 2018 share repurchase plan and $58 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

In the first quarter of 2019, and 2018, cash flows used in financing activities primarily included $202 million and $344 million, respectively, of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 3.9 million and 5.9 million shares respectively, of our outstanding common stock.  Financing cash flows in the first quarter of 2019 also includedstock, partially offset by $100 million of cash proceeds from the issuance of short-term debt.commercial paper.

On February 25, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 25 million shares of our common stock. This new plan allows us to opportunistically repurchase shares and to continue our practice of repurchasing shares to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under compensation and benefit plans. The 2020 plan replaces the prior 2018 share repurchase authorization. We have suspended share repurchases while our 364-Day Term Loan remains outstanding.

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.

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 29, 2018.  January 4, 2020. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.

Goodwill

In March of 2020, we observed a significant decline in the market valuation of our common shares as the overall stock market declined related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The global pandemic has led to worldwide facility closures, workforce disruptions, supply chain destabilizations, reduced demand for many products and services, volatility in the capital markets and uncertainty in the economic outlook. Despite the significant excess fair value identified in our 2019 impairment assessment, we determined that these factors could indicate that an impairment loss may have occurred. While short-term disruptions may not indicate an impairment, the effects of a prolonged suspension of activities may cause goodwill, intangible and other asset impairments. Accordingly, in the first quarter of 2020, we reviewed our reporting units to determine whether the impacts caused by the pandemic triggered an interim impairment test and identified indicators at three of our reporting units, Textron Aviation, Kautex and Textron Specialized Vehicles.  See Note 15 to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our review of indefinite-lived intangible assets, which resulted in the impairment of trade names related to discrete product lines due to the impact of the pandemic.

29

For the Textron Aviation and Kautex reporting units, considering the impact of the pandemic on the industries in which they operate and our expectation that it will likely take the economy a period of time to recover, we performed an interim impairment test in the first quarter of 2020. Based on this test, we determined that the fair value of these reporting units continues to exceed the carrying amount and no impairment is required.

For the Textron Specialized Vehicles reporting unit, the consumer and commercial markets in which it operates have been significantly impacted. Many of the dealers and retail stores that sell its products are currently closed throughout the U.S. and globally, and there is uncertainty as to when they will reopen.  In addition, the severity of the economic impact caused by the pandemic has resulted in a substantial increase in unemployment levels with projections of a severe global recession impacting demand for products produced by this reporting unit.  Textron Specialized Vehicles also serves the airline industry, which has been significantly impacted by the travel restrictions caused by the pandemic.  We calculated the fair value of Textron Specialized Vehicles using discounted cash flows, assuming a reduction in revenues and profit for the remainder of 2020 and into the next few years and calculated the discount rate based on current market data which resulted in an increase of 60 basis points as compared to the prior year analysis. Based on this analysis, we determined that the fair value of Textron Specialized Vehicles exceeded its carrying amount by 15% and no impairment is required.  To assess the sensitivity of this estimate to a change in the discount rate, we increased the rate by an additional 50 basis points and the fair value estimate exceeded the carrying amount by 8%.  Depending on the timing and continued impact of the pandemic on this unit, it is reasonably possible that it may require another interim impairment test during 2020 that may result in an impairment charge. At the end of the first quarter of 2020, Textron Specialized Vehicles had $363 million in goodwill.

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 thethe design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products as well as related services.  DueDue to the continuous transfer of control to the U.S. Government, we recognize revenue over the time that we perform under the contract.  We generally use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for our 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:

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

On February 7, 2012, a lawsuit was filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division (Akron) by Brian A. Bash, Chapter 7 Trustee for Fair Finance Company against Textron Financial Corporation (TFC), Fortress Credit Corp. and Fair Facility I, LLC. TFC provided a revolving line of credit of up to $17.5 million to Fair Finance Company from 2002 through 2007. The complaint alleges numerous counts against TFC, as Fair Finance Company's working capital lender, including receipt of fraudulent transfers and assisting in fraud perpetrated on Fair Finance investors. The Trustee seeks avoidance and recovery of alleged fraudulent transfers in the amount of $316 million as well as damages of $223 million on the other claims. On November 9, 2012, the Court dismissed all claims against TFC. The trustee appealed, and on August 23, 2016, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal in part and remanded certain claims back to the trial court. On September 27, 2018, after reconsidering the remanded claims which were based upon civil conspiracy and intentional fraudulent transfer, the trial court granted partial summary judgment in favor of TFC, dismissing the Trustee's civil conspiracy claim, as well as a portion of the Trustee's claim for intentional fraudulent transfer, leaving only a portion of the intentional fraudulent transfer claim to be adjudicated. Trial in this matter commenced on February 24, 2020. On March 10, 2020, the jury returned a verdict in favor of TFC and against the Trustee. On the same day, the Court entered judgment in TFC's favor. On March 23, 2020, the Trustee filed a notice of appeal. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

On August 22, 2019, a purported shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York against Textron, its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer. The suit, filed by Building Trades Pension Fund of Western Pennsylvania, alleges that the defendants violated the federal securities laws by making materially false and misleading statements and concealing material adverse facts related to the Arctic Cat acquisition and integration. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory damages. On November 12, 2019, the Court appointed IWA Forest Industry Pension Fund ("IWA") as the sole lead plaintiff in the case. On December 24, 2019, IWA filed an Amended Complaint in the now entitled In re Textron Inc. Securities Litigation. On February 14, 2020, IWA filed a Second Amended Complaint. On March 6, 2020, Textron filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. We intend to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting global disruptions on our business and operations discussed in Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and in the risk factors below in this Form 10-Q, additional or unforeseen effects from the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic disruptions may give rise to or amplify many of the risks discussed in “Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These risk factors do not identify all risks that we face; our operations could also be affected by factors, events, or uncertainties that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not consider to present significant risks to our operations.

Our business is being adversely impacted, and is expected to continue to be adversely impacted, by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

As described under Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” herein, our businesses have experienced and continue to experience various degrees of disruption and reduced demand for our products due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The effects of COVID-19 have included and could continue to include disruptions in our supply chain, disruptions or restrictions on the ability of many of our employees to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures or other restrictions, as well as temporary closures of certain of our facilities, including manufacturing  and service facilities, or the facilities of our customers, suppliers or business partners. Our commercial businesses have been and may continue to be adversely impacted due to a general slowdown in demand for our general aviation products and services, our recreational and other specialized vehicles and our automotive products.  We have experienced a decline in orders for our aviation products and services and the delay and cancellation of existing orders by

32

a fractional jet customer because of economic weakness resulting from the pandemic, and we have also experienced lower deliveries of commercial helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft because of travel restrictions imposed in response to the pandemic.  Economic and other impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic may also result in future weak demand for our aviation and commercial helicopter products and services, the delay or cancellation of existing orders by our fixed wing and commercial helicopter customers and lower flight hours, and consequently, lower demand for parts and maintenance. In recent weeks the continued spread of COVID-19 has resulted in disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, adversely impacting access to capital. Any of these events are likely to negatively impact our operations. As a result, we may be unable to perform fully on our contracts and our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. We also expect to experience increased costs as a result of the business and production disruptions described above.  These cost increases may not be fully recoverable, negatively impacting our profitability, and may continue even after the business environment has improved. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 and actions taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the outbreak could also further cause disruption in our supply chain or in the operations of our business partners, impacting their ability to perform their obligations; cause delay, or limit the ability of, the U.S. Government and other customers to perform, including in making timely payments to us; and cause other unpredictable events. In addition, new regulations by U.S. or foreign governments and government agencies addressed to the aviation or travel industry could impose additional regulatory, aircraft security, travel restrictions or other requirements or restrictions related to the pandemic that could adversely impact demand for aircraft and rotorcraft or significantly reduce hours flown.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that is adversely affecting the economies and financial markets of many countries. The resulting economic downturn, the severity and length of which cannot be predicted, may cause continued reduced demand for our products, delays or cancellations of customer orders, the inability of customers to obtain financing to purchase our products, bankruptcy of suppliers, customers or other business partners, adverse impact to investment performance of our pension plans and continued volatility in the global capital markets adversely impacting our access to capital. The extent to which COVID-19 could impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity is highly uncertain and will depend on future developments, many of which are outside our control. Such developments may include the geographic spread and duration of the virus, the severity of the disease and the effects of actions that have been or may be taken by various governmental authorities and other third parties in response to the outbreak.

If our Finance segment has difficulty collecting on its finance receivables, our financial performance could be adversely affected.

The financial performance of our Finance segment depends on the quality of loans, leases and other assets in its portfolio. Portfolio quality can be adversely affected by several factors, including finance receivable underwriting procedures, collateral value, geographic or industry concentrations, and the effect of general economic conditions such as the recent deterioration of the economy due to the impact from the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in disruptions in the ability of many of our customers to conduct business effectively because of illness, quarantines, government shut-down orders, facility closures, reduced customer demand or other restrictions. As a result, our Finance segment is working with certain of its customers to modify a significant number of the loans in its portfolio in order to provide temporary payment relief which will delay our ultimate recovery on these assets. In addition, a substantial number of the new originations in our finance receivable portfolio are cross-border transactions for aircraft sold outside of the U.S. Cross-border transactions present additional challenges and risks in realizing upon collateral in the event of borrower default, which can result in difficulty or delay in collecting on the related finance receivables.  Should current economic conditions persist or worsen, our Finance segment may have difficulty successfully collecting on its finance receivable portfolio, and as a result our cash flow, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
