Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 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 2 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 firstthird quarter of 2020 and 2019, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased revenues and segment profit by $2$22 million and $31$21 million, respectively, and increased net income by $1$17 million and $23$16 million, respectively ($0.01 and $0.100.07 per diluted share respectively)for both periods). In the firstthird quarter of 2020 and 2019, gross favorable adjustments totaled $27$31 million and $53$41 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable adjustments totaled $25$9 million and $22$20 million, respectively.

In the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased revenue and segment profit by $41 million and $79 million, respectively, and increased net income by $31 million and $60 million, respectively ($0.14 and $0.26 per diluted share, respectively). In the first nine months of 2020 and 2019, gross favorable adjustments totaled $104 million and $140 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable adjustments totaled $63 million and $61 million, respectively.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Update

At the beginning of 2020, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASC 326). This standard changed the prior incurred loss model to a forward-looking current expected credit loss model for most financial assets, such as trade and finance receivables, contract assets and other instruments. This standard required a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings upon adoption with no restatement of prior periods. There was no significant impact on our consolidated financial statements upon adoption of the standard.

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 4, 2020. Significant changes to our policies resulting from the adoption of ASC 326 are provided below.

Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net includes amounts billed to customers where the right to payment 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 pools with similar risk characteristics, based on

customer and industry type and geographic location. The percentage is based on all available and relevant information including age of outstanding receivables and collateral value, if any, historical payment experience and loss history, current economic conditions, and, when reasonable and supportable factors exist, management’s expectation of future economic conditions. For amounts due from the U.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 the explicit 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 portfolio. 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 a 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 impaired, a reserve is established based on comparing the expected future cash flows, discounted at the finance receivable's effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to its carrying amount. The expected future cash flows consider collateral value; financial performance and liquidity of our borrower; existence and financial strength of guarantors; estimated recovery costs, including legal expenses; and costs associated with the repossession and eventual disposal of collateral. When there is a range of potential outcomes, we perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the potential outcomes based on their relative likelihood of occurrence. The evaluation of our portfolio is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results. While our analysis is specific to each individual account, critical factors included in this analysis include industry valuation guides, age and physical condition of the collateral, payment history, and existence and financial strength of guarantors.

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 3three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan.  These 3three 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.

Table of Contents

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. The types of temporary payment relief we offered to these customers included delays in the timing of required principal payments, deferrals of interest payments and/or interest-only payments. 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
During the first quarternine months of 2020, we modified finance receivable contracts for 90 customers with an outstanding balance totaling $283 million at October 3, 2020. Of the modifications occurring during the first nine months of 2020, contracts for 25 customers, or $109 million of finance receivables, were categorized as troubled debt restructurings. Due to the nature of these restructurings, the financial effects were not significant, however, we are working on modifications for approximately 30% of our totalsignificant. We had 2 customer defaults related to finance receivables.receivables previously modified as a troubled debt restructuring that had an insignificant outstanding balance. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

Note 8. Debt

Under our shelf registration statement, on August 5, 2020, we issued $500 million of SEC-registered fixed-rate notes due March 2031 with an annual interest rate of 2.45%. The net proceeds of the issuance totaled $496 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. In addition, on March 17, 2020, we issued $650 million of SEC-registered fixed-rate notes due June 2030, with an annual interest rate of 3.00% and net proceeds totaling $642 million.
On September 18, 2020, the Finance Group’s $150 million variable-rate loan due December 13, 2020 was amended. The maturity date of this loan was extended to September 18, 2021, with an option to extend for an additional year. The annual interest rate was modified from the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.125% to LIBOR plus 1.55%, which is an annual interest rate of 1.70% at October 3, 2020.
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,On August 10, 2020, we repaid 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 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.

agreement was terminated.


Note 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.

12

Table of Contents

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 April 4,October 3, 2020 and January 4, 2020, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $410$301 million and $342 million, respectively. At April 4,October 3, 2020, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $14$3 million asset and a $18$4 million liability. At January 4, 2020, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $2 million asset and a $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 (loss) 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:

* In connection with the restructuring plan initiated in the second quarter of 2020, we ceased manufacturing at the Montreal facility of the TRU Simulation + Training business, resulting in the production suspension of our commercial air transport simulators. As a result of this action and current market conditions, we recorded a $55 million charge to write-down the related inventory to its net realizable value.

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.

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

2020 COVID-19 Restructuring Plan
In the second quarter of 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of ongoing evaluations, this plan has been expanded to include additional headcount reductions and facility consolidations in the Industrial segment beyond what was included in the plan as originally announced. We now expect to incur up to an additional $15 million in costs, and the total pre-tax cost of this plan is expected to be in the range of $125 million to $145 million, of which $85 million has been recorded since the inception of the plan. Under the restructuring plan, we expect to incur total severance costs in the range of $70 million to $80 million, contract termination and other costs in the range of $30 million to
18

$35 million, and asset impairment charges of $25 million to $30 million. Based on revisions to our original estimate, along with additional actions, we estimate a total reduction of 2,800 positions, representing 8% of our workforce. We expect the plan to be substantially completed in the first half of 2021.
The plan primarily impacts the TRU business within the Textron Systems segment, the Textron Aviation segment, and the Industrial segment. At TRU, there has been a substantial decline in demand and order cancellations for flight simulators in light of the expected long-term impact of the pandemic on the commercial air transportation business. Accordingly, we ceased manufacturing at TRU’s facility in Montreal, Canada, resulting in a production suspension of its commercial air transport simulators, along with workforce reductions, contract terminations, facility closures and asset impairments. As a result of current market conditions and the cessation of manufacturing at this facility, we incurred an inventory valuation charge of $55 million, which was recorded in Cost of Sales, to write-down TRU’s inventory to its net realizable value.
Other Asset Impairments
In the first quarter of 2020, we recordedrecognized special charges of $39 million inof intangible asset impairment charges inat the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments. The aviation industry in which Textron Aviation operates has been significantly impacted byDue to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. We havepandemic, we 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 hashad temporarily shut down most aircraft production, including the King Air turboprop and Beechcraft piston product lines, and hashad 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,October 3, 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 offully impaired the indefinite-lived Arctic Cat trade name intangible asset usingwithin the relief of royalty methodSpecialized Vehicles product line and recorded an impairment charge ofa $7 million impairment charge.

The majority of the remaining cash outlays of $63 million is expected to be paid in 2020. Severance costs generally are paid on a lump-sum basis and include outplacement costs, which are paid in accordance with normal payment terms.

Note 16.15. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2020 was 0.9% and (9.0)%, respectively, compared to the statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research credits. In the first nine months of 2020, we incurred special charges and an inventory charge in a non-U.S. jurisdiction where tax benefits cannot be realized, which were partially offset by a $14 million benefit recognized upon the release of a valuation allowance in a non-U.S. jurisdiction. These items had a more significant impact on the effective tax rate due to the lower income before income taxes for the period.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 our effective tax rate was 27.5%8.7% and 15.6%15.8%, respectively. In the third quarter and 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 quarternine months of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $12$41 million benefitand $53 million, respectively, in benefits recognized for additional research credits related to prior years.

On October 19, 2020, we entered into a closing agreement with a tax authority related to an audit settlement with respect to certain state income tax returns. As a result, we will recognize a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits that is expected to reduce our tax expense by approximately $40 million to $50 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

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


Recent Developments

The

Overview
Through the first nine months of 2020, 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 experiencedThe effects of the pandemic and continue to experience various degrees of disruption due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the pandemic. Whileresulting global disruptions on our U.S. business and operations are largely excluded from various statediscussed in Item 2 of Part I, “Management’s Discussion and local government shut-down orders implemented as a resultAnalysis of COVID-19,Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended July 4, 2020. While certain of our commercial manufacturing facilities havewere temporarily closed and/or  furloughed employeesduring the first quarter through the latter part of the second quarter 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 actionsproducts, substantially all manufacturing activities had resumed in the future.

Our top priority has beensecond quarter. In 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 thethird quarter, for our commercial businesses which have experienced decreasedgenerally seen an increase in customer demand most notably for general aviation products and services, recreational and other specialized vehicles and our automotive products. In particular, as a resultcompared with the first half 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.

2020.


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 the remainder of 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 arecontinue to closely monitoringmonitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it will impactis impacting our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors, business partners and distribution channels. See Item 1A. Risk Factors on page 34 for additional risks and uncertainties related to the pandemic’s impact on our business. 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.

Revenues

Revenues decreased $332$524 million, 11%16%, in the firstthird quarter of 2020, compared with the firstthird quarter of 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 Textron Aviation revenues of $406 million, largely due to lower Citation jet and commercial turboprop volume of $317 million, reflecting a decline in demand related to the pandemic, and lower aftermarket volume of $95 million, reflecting lower aircraft utilization resulting from the pandemic.

Higher Bell revenues of $10 million, reflecting higher military revenues of $42 million, partially offset by lower commercial revenues.
Lower Textron Systems revenues of $9 million, primarily due to lower volume of $20 million at the TRU Simulation + Training business.
Lower Industrial revenues of $118 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $126 million, primarily in the Specialized Vehicles product line, principally reflecting the timing of snowmobile deliveries, and reduced demand in the ground support equipment business, which has been impacted by the reduction in global air travel as a result of the pandemic.


21

Revenues decreased $1.6 billion, 17%, in the first nine months of 2020, compared with the first nine months of 2019.  The revenue decrease included the following factors:
Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $1.0 billion, largely due to lower Citation jet and commercial turboprop volume of $796 million, reflecting a decline in demand related to the pandemic, and lower aftermarket volume of $227 million, reflecting lower aircraft utilization resulting from the pandemic.
Higher Bell revenues of $145 million, reflecting higher military revenues of $274 million, partially offset by lower commercial revenues.
Higher Textron Systems revenues of $30 million, primarily due to higher volume of $57 million in the Unmanned Systems product line, partially offset by lower volume of $28 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line.
Lower Industrial revenues of $737 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $735 million, primarily in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line related to manufacturing facility closures as a result of the pandemic.
Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales decreased $190$415 million, 7%15%, and $995 million, 12%, in the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2020, respectively, compared with the first quartercorresponding periods of 2019, largely resulting fromdue to lower net volume and mix described above. For the first nine months of 2020, the decrease in cost of sales was partially offset by idle facility costs of $100 million, primarily at the Textron Aviation segment, reflecting unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs attributable to abnormally low production levels resulting from the pandemic and temporary manufacturing facility closures, and a $55 million inventory charge related to the TRU business discussed below in the Special Charges section. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 310430 basis points in the first nine months of 2020, primarily due to lower margin at both the Textron Aviation segment reflecting unfavorable impacts from the pandemic, including the idle facility costs and Industrial segments, largely reflectinginventory valuation charges, and 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.

TRU inventory charge.

Selling and administrative expense decreased $44$94 million, 14%11%, in the first quarternine months of 2020, compared with the first quarternine months of 2019, primarily reflecting lower share-based compensation expense.

due to cost reduction activities across our segments, principally at the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments.

2020 COVID-19 Restructuring Plan
In the second quarter of 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses through headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in response to the economic challenges and uncertainty resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of ongoing evaluations, this plan has been expanded to include additional headcount reductions and facility consolidations in the Industrial segment beyond what was included in the plan as originally announced. We now expect to incur up to an additional $15 million in costs, and the total pre-tax cost of this plan is expected to be in the range of $125 million to $145 million, of which $85 million has been recorded since the inception of the plan. Under the restructuring plan, we expect to incur total severance costs in the range of $70 million to $80 million, contract termination and other costs in the range of $30 million to $35 million, and asset impairment charges of $25 million to $30 million. Based on revisions to our original estimate, along with additional actions, we estimate a total reduction of 2,800 positions, representing 8% of our workforce. We expect the plan to be substantially completed in the first half of 2021.
22

The plan primarily impacts the TRU business within the Textron Systems segment, the Textron Aviation segment, and the Industrial segment. At TRU, there has been a substantial decline in demand and order cancellations for flight simulators in light of the expected long-term impact of the pandemic on the commercial air transportation business. Accordingly, we ceased manufacturing at TRU’s facility in Montreal, Canada, resulting in a production suspension of its commercial air transport simulators, along with workforce reductions, contract terminations, facility closures and asset impairments. As a result of current market conditions and the cessation of manufacturing at this facility, we incurred an inventory valuation charge of $55 million, which was recorded in Cost of Sales, to write-down TRU’s inventory to its net realizable value.
Other Asset Impairments
In the first quarter of 2020, we recordedrecognized special charges of $39 million inof intangible asset impairment charges inat the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments. In light ofDue to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, onwe experienced decreased demand for our products and services as our customers delayed or ceased orders due to the environment of economic uncertainty. In light of these conditions, Textron Aviation had temporarily shut down most aircraft production, including the King Air turboprop aircraft,and Beechcraft piston product lines, and had instituted employee furloughs. Based on these events, we performed an interim impairment test of Textron Aviation’sthe indefinite-lived Beechcraft and King Air trade name intangible assets at April 4, 2020. We utilized a higherFair 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 our expectationexpectations of future revenues for the Beechcraftproducts and King Air models, resultingservices associated with the tradenames. This analysis resulted in an impairment charge of $32 million. At April 4,October 3, 2020, these intangiblesintangible assets 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 offully impaired the indefinite-lived Arctic Cat trade name intangible asset within the Specialized Vehicles product line and recorded an impairment charge ofa $7 million to fully impair the asset.

impairment charge.

Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first quarternine months of 2020 was 0.9% and (9.0)%, respectively, compared to the statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research credits. In the first nine months of 2020, we incurred special charges and an inventory charge in a non-U.S. jurisdiction where tax benefits cannot be realized, which were partially offset by a $14 million benefit recognized upon the release of a valuation allowance in a non-U.S. jurisdiction. These items had a more significant impact on the effective tax rate due to the lower income before income taxes for the period.
For the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 our effective tax rate was 27.5%8.7% and 15.6%15.8%, respectively. In the third quarter and 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 quarternine months of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $12$41 million benefitand $53 million, respectively, in benefits recognized for additional research credits related to prior years.

21

On October 19, 2020, we entered into a closing agreement with a tax authority related to an audit settlement with respect to certain state income tax returns. As a result, we will recognize a reduction of unrecognized tax benefits that is expected to reduce our tax expense by approximately $40 million to $50 million in the fourth quarter of 2020.

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, special charges and special charges.an inventory charge related to the 2020 COVID-19 restructuring plan, as discussed in the Special Charges section on page 22. 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 for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, inflation and performance. For revenues, volume and mix represents changes in revenues from increases or decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold. For segment profit, volume and mix represents a change due to the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins. Pricing represents changes in unit pricing. Foreign exchange is the change resulting from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are different from the prior period. Revenues generated by acquired businesses are reflected in Acquisitions for a twelve-month period, while reductions in revenues and segment profit from the sale of businesses are reflected as Dispositions.  Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension service cost or other costs. Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, non-service pension cost/(credit), product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 24% of our 2019 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.

Textron Aviation’s revenues decreased $262$406 million, 23%34%, in the firstthird quarter of 2020, compared with the firstthird quarter of 2019, primarilylargely due to lower volume and mix of $260 million, largely the result of lower Citation jet volume of $154$234 million and lower commercial turboprop volume of $99 million. We delivered 23 Citation jets and 16 commercial turboprops in the first quarter of 2020, compared with 44 Citation jets and 44 commercial turboprops in the first quarter of 2019.  The decrease in Citation jet and turboprop volume reflected$83 million, 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 delayslower aftermarket volume of $95 million, reflecting lower aircraft utilization resulting from the pandemic.

Textron Aviation’s operating expensesrevenues decreased $159 million, 15%$1.0 billion, 30%, in the first quarternine months of 2020, compared with the first nine months of 2019, largely due to lower Citation jet volume of $566 million and lower commercial turboprop volume of $230 million, reflecting a decline in demand related to the pandemic, and lower aftermarket volume of $227 million, reflecting lower aircraft utilization resulting from the pandemic. We delivered 71 Citation jets and 52 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2020, compared with 135 Citation jets and 117 commercial turboprops in the first nine months of 2019.

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses decreased $273 million, 25%, in the third quarter 2020, compared with the third quarter of 2019, largely due to lower volume and mix as described above.

 The decrease in operating expenses for the third quarter of 2020 also included a favorable impact from cost reduction activities, which was offset by inventory valuation charges and idle facility costs of $11 million, largely resulting from the pandemic.

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses decreased $637 million, 20% in the first nine months of 2020, compared with the first nine months of 2019, largely due to lower volume and mix described above. The decrease in operating expenses for the first nine months of 2020 also included a favorable impact from cost reduction activities including employee furloughs and other actions, which was more than offset by $76 million of idle facility costs recognized in the period and inventory valuation charges, largely resulting from the pandemic. Idle facility costs reflect unfavorable absorption of manufacturing costs attributable to abnormally low production levels resulting from the pandemic and temporary manufacturing facility closures. We expect to continue to experience abnormally low production levels through the remainder of the year resulting in additional idle facility costs that will be expensed as incurred.

Industrial segment revenues decreased $172$118 million, 19%12%, in the firstthird quarter of 2020, compared with the third quarter of 2019, primarily due to lower volume and mix in the Specialized Vehicles product line, principally reflecting the timing of snowmobile deliveries, and reduced demand in the ground support equipment business, which has been impacted by the reduction in global air travel as a result of the pandemic.


In the first quarternine months of 2020, Industrial segment revenues decreased $737 million, 26%, compared with the first nine months of 2019, largely due to lower volume and mix, of $164 million, largelyprimarily in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line related to manufacturing facility closures that began in China in Januarythe first half of 2020 as a result of the pandemic. As our OEM customers reopened and expanded to European and North American locationsresumed production, all of our manufacturing facilities had reopened by the end of the quarter as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of our manufacturing facilities located in China reopened in March and the current expectation is that our other locations will begin opening once our OEM customers open and resume production. Lower volume and mix in the Specialized Vehicles product line was primarily related to reduced demand and temporary manufacturing facility closures as the consumer and commercial markets in which it operates have been impacted by the pandemic.

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.

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

As discussed in the Recent Developments section on page 20, the

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 operations due to the unprecedented conditions surrounding the pandemic. In light of these conditions, we have strengthened our cash position since the onset of the pandemic by improving our operational performance and 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 ofbelow. Given our commercial businesses, reducing capital expenditures, delaying certain research and development projects, and other cost reduction and cash preservation actions. Whilestrengthened liquidity position, we expect to reactivate our share repurchase plan on an opportunistic basis in 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.fourth quarter. We believe that we will 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 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 April 4,October 3, 2020 and January 4, 2020, there were no amounts borrowed against 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 August 5, 2020, we issued $500 million of SEC-registered fixed-rate notes due March 2031 with an annual interest rate of 2.45% and on March 17, 2020, we issued $650 million of SEC-registered fixed-rate notes due June 2030, with an annual interest rate of 3.00%.
On September 18, 2020, the Finance Group’s $150 million variable-rate loan due December 13, 2020 was amended. The maturity date of this loan was extended to September 18, 2021, with an option to extend for an additional year. The annual interest rate was modified from the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.125% to LIBOR plus 1.55%, which is an annual interest rate of 1.70% at October 3, 2020.
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,On August 10, 2020, we repaid 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, inagreement was terminated.

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.

At October 3, 2020, there was $362 million of outstanding borrowings against these insurance policies.

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 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, weand determined that the fair valuevalues of these reporting units continuescontinue to exceed the carrying amountamounts and no impairment iswas required.

For the Textron Specialized Vehicles reporting unit, the consumer and commercial markets in which it operates have been significantly impacted. ManyDuring the first quarter of 2020, many of the dealers and retail stores that sell its products are currentlywere closed throughout the U.S. and globally, and there iswas uncertainty as to when they will reopen. In addition, the severity of the economic
31

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 iswas 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 ofOctober 3, 2020, Textron Specialized Vehicles had $363 million in goodwill.

Based on the assumptions used in the first quarter test, there have been no indications of impairment through the end of the third quarter of 2020.

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.  Due 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. OnComplaint, and on March 6, 2020, Textron filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint. We intendOn July 20, 2020, the Court granted Textron’s motion to continue to vigorously defend this lawsuit.

dismiss and closed the case. On August 18, 2020, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal contesting the dismissal, which Textron has opposed. That appeal remains pending.

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 disruption  of the operation or temporary closure of certain of our facilities or the facilities of our customers, suppliers or business partners as well as other disruptions in our supply chain, disruptions or restrictions onchains. Challenges resulting from the pandemic have impacted, and may continue to impact, the ability of many of our employees to work effectively, including because of illness, quarantines, government actions, facility closures, changes in manufacturing processes to accommodate social distancing guidelines, remote working arrangements, or other government-imposed operating restrictions. We have experienced and may continue to experience increased costs as a result of these business and production disruptions. Likewise, we have incurred and may continue to incur additional expenses related to implementing processes and procedures to comply with required operating restrictions as well as temporary closures of certainand to enhance the safety of our facilities including manufacturing  and service facilities, orto protect the facilitieshealth of our customers, suppliers or business partners. employees.
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

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.

 As a result, our costs may increase as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. 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, which could impact our ability to perform our contractual obligations; cause delay by, 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. Limitations on government operations could impact regulatory approvals such as export licenses that are needed for international sales and deliveries. In addition, there may be changes in our U.S. and foreign government customers’ priorities as they confront competing budget priorities and more limited resources. These changes may impact current and future programs, government payments and other practices, procurements and funding decisions.
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, bankruptcybankruptcies of our 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-19the pandemic could impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity is highly uncertain and also will depend on future developments, manymost of which are outside our control. Such developments may include the geographic spread and duration of the virus, the severity of the disease, the development of treatments or vaccines, 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 modifyhas modified a significant number of the loans in its portfolio and is continuing to work with other customers on modifications 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.
