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 31, 2016.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems 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.

 

We periodically change our estimates of revenues and costs on certain long-term contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  These changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2017 and 2016 by $9 million and $10 million, respectively, ($6 million after tax, or $0.02 per diluted share for both periods).  For the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $23 million and $19 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $14 million and $9 million, respectively.

 

The changes in estimates decreased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first half of 2017 by $3 million ($2 million after tax, or $0.01 per diluted share) and increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first half of 2016 by $39 million ($25 million after tax, or $0.09 per diluted share).  For the first half of 2017 and 2016, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $43 million and $53 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $46 million and $14 million, respectively.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, that outlines a five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The standard is effective as of the beginning of 2018 for public companies and may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. We expect to apply the standard on a modified retrospective basis, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recognized at the beginning of 2018.

 

Based on our review and analysis of our contracts through the end of the second quarter of 2017, we believe that the standard will primarily impact our Bell and Textron Systems segments, which have long-term production contracts with the U.S. Government as these contracts currently use the units-of-delivery accounting method; under the new standard, these contracts will transition to a model that recognizes revenue over time, principally as costs are incurred, resulting in earlier revenue recognition.  In 2016, approximately 25% of our revenues were from contracts with the U.S. Government.

We do not expect that the new standard will have a significant impact on revenue recognition for our Textron Aviation and Industrial segments.  For these segments, we expect to continue to primarily recognize revenue for contracts at the point in time when the customer accepts delivery of the goods provided.

 

We are currently evaluating the new disclosure requirements of the standard and expect to complete our assessment of the cumulative effect of adopting the standard in the fourth quarter of 2017.  Our evaluation of the standard will continue through the adoption date, including any impacts related to new contracts awarded and any new or emerging interpretations of the standard.  We are in the process of implementing changes to business processes, systems and internal controls required to implement and account for the new standard.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires lessees to recognize all leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet as right-to-use assets and lease liabilities, while lease expenses would continue to be recognized in the statement of operations in a manner similar to current accounting guidance.  Under the current accounting guidance, we are not required to recognize assets and liabilities arising from operating leases on the balance sheet.  The new standard is effective for our company at the beginning of 2019 and early adoption is permitted.  Entities must adopt the standard on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied at the beginning of the earliest comparative year.  While we continue to evaluate the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements, we expect that it will materially increase our assets and liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet as we recognize the rights and corresponding obligations related to our operating leases.

 

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 with early adoption permitted beginning in 2019.  Entities are required to apply the provisions of the standard through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the standard on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.  This standard requires companies to present only the service cost component of net periodic benefit costs in operating income in the same line as other employee compensation costs, while the other components of net periodic benefit costs must be excluded from operating income. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization into inventory.  This standard is effective for our company at the beginning of 2018.  The reclassification of the other components of net periodic benefit cost out of operating income must be applied retrospectively, while the change in the amount companies may capitalize into inventory can be applied prospectively. We are evaluating the impact of this standard and do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 2.  Business Acquisitions

 

On March 6, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Arctic Cat Inc. (Arctic Cat), a publicly-held company (NASDAQ: ACAT), pursuant to a cash tender offer for $18.50 per share, followed by a short-form merger.  Arctic Cat manufactures and markets all-terrain vehicles, side-by-sides and snowmobiles, in addition to related parts, garments and accessories.  The cash paid for this business, including repayment of debt and net of cash acquired, totaled $316 million.  Arctic Cat provides a platform to expand our product portfolio and increase our distribution channel to support growth within our Textron Specialized Vehicles business in the Industrial segment.  The operating results of Arctic Cat are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations since the closing date.

 

We allocated the consideration paid for this business on a preliminary basis to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date.  We expect to finalize the purchase accounting as soon as reasonably possible during the one-year measurement period.  Based on the preliminary allocation, $213 million has been allocated to goodwill, related to expected synergies and the value of the assembled workforce, and $75 million to intangible assets, which includes $18 million of indefinite-lived assets related to tradenames. The definite-lived intangible assets are primarily related to customer/dealer relationships and technology, which will be amortized over 8 to 20 years. We determined the value of the intangible assets using the relief-from-royalty and multi-period excess earnings methods, which utilize significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs, as defined by the fair value hierarchy.  Under these valuation methods, we are required to make estimates and assumptions about sales, operating margins, growth rates, royalty rates and discount rates based on anticipated cash flows and marketplace data.  Approximately $5 million of the goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Note 4.  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:

Stock options to purchase 5 million shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for both the second quarter and first half of 2016, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Credit Quality Indicators and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables

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

 

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful.  In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful.  Accrual of interest income is suspended for these accounts and all cash collections are generally applied to reduce the net investment balance.  Once we conclude that the collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful, we resume the accrual of interest and recognize previously suspended interest income at the time either a) the loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan, or b) if the loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the terms of the modification.  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.

 

Delinquency

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our finance receivables.  In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due.  If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category.

 

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

Impaired Loans

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual finance receivables for impairment in non-homogeneous portfolios and larger balance accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios.  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.  Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not significant in the first half of 2017 or 2016.

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.

 

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 July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $610 million and $665 million, respectively.  At July 1, 2017, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $10 million asset and a $10 million liability.  At December 31, 2016, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $7 million asset and a $17 million liability.

 

We hedge our net investment position in major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies.  To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of a 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.

 

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the periods ended July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Finance group’s impaired nonaccrual finance receivables of $22 million and $44 million, respectively, were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables represent assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  For impaired nonaccrual finance receivables secured by aviation assets, the fair values of collateral are determined primarily based on the use of industry pricing guides.  Fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables were not significant for both the second quarter and first half of 2017 and 2016.

 

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

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.

Note 11.  Special Charges

 

In the third quarter of 2016, we initiated a plan to restructure and realign our businesses by implementing headcount reductions, facility consolidations and other actions in order to improve overall operating efficiency across Textron.  In connection with this plan, we recorded special charges of $12 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $27 million in the first half of 2017.  Since the inception of the 2016 plan, we have incurred a total of $76 million of severance costs, $59 million of asset impairments and $15 million in contract terminations and other costs.  Of these amounts, $61 million was incurred at Textron Systems, $57 million at Textron Aviation, $26 million at Industrial and $6 million at Bell and Corporate. This plan is largely complete with additional pre-tax charges in the range of $5 million to $20 million expected in the second half of 2017, primarily related to contract terminations, facility consolidation and relocation costs.  The total headcount reduction under this plan is expected to be approximately 2,000 positions, representing approximately 5% of our workforce.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Arctic Cat, as discussed in Note 2, we initiated a restructuring plan in the first quarter of 2017 to integrate this business into our Textron Specialized Vehicles business within the Industrial segment to reduce operating redundancies and maximize efficiencies.  As a result of this plan, we recorded $19 million of restructuring charges in the first quarter of 2017, largely related to change-of-control provisions.  In addition, we recorded $4 million of acquisition-related transaction and integration costs in the first half of 2017.  We expect to complete this plan in the second half of 2017 and estimate that we will incur total special charges of approximately $30 million related to Arctic Cat.

 

Special charges recorded in the second quarter and first half of 2017 for both of these plans are as follows:

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 18 to 23.

 

Revenues

Revenues increased $93 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared with the second quarter of 2016, largely driven by increases in the Industrial and Bell segments, partially offset by lower revenues at the Textron Aviation and Textron Systems segments.  The net revenue increase included the following factors:

 

·                  Higher Industrial revenues of $109 million, primarily due to the impact from the acquisition of Arctic Cat described in the Segment Analysis section below.

·                  Higher Bell revenues of $21 million, primarily due to an increase in other military revenues of $118 million, largely related to higher H-1 deliveries, partially offset by a decrease in V-22 program revenues of $86 million, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries.

·                  Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $25 million, primarily reflecting lower military and commercial turboprop volume.

·                  Lower Textron Systems revenues of $10 million, primarily due to lower volume of $92 million in the Weapons and Sensors and the Unmanned Systems product lines, partially offset by higher volume of $88 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line.

 

Revenues decreased $15 million in the first half of 2017, compared with the first half of 2016, largely driven by decreases in the Textron Aviation and Bell segments, partially offset by higher revenues at the Industrial and Textron Systems segments.  The net revenue decrease included the following factors:

 

·                  Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $146 million, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $165 million, largely the result of lower military and commercial turboprop volume.

·                  Lower Bell revenues of $96 million, primarily due to a decrease in V-22 program revenues of $69 million, largely reflecting lower aircraft deliveries.

·                  Higher Industrial revenues of $149 million, primarily due to the impact from the acquisition of Arctic Cat.

·                  Higher Textron Systems revenues of $82 million, primarily due to higher volume of $120 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line, partially offset by lower volume of $56 million in the Weapons and Sensors and the Unmanned Systems product lines.

 

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Manufacturing cost of sales and selling and administrative expense together comprise our operating expenses. Cost of sales increased $101 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily related to the acquisition of Arctic Cat.  In the first half of 2017, cost of sales increased $50 million, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to an increase from acquired businesses, largely the acquisition of Arctic Cat, partially offset by favorable performance, primarily at Bell, and lower net volume as described above.  Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 90 basis points in the first half of 2017, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to lower margin at Textron Systems, which included the impact of an unfavorable program adjustment of $24 million recorded in the first quarter of 2017.

 

Selling and administrative expense increased $25 million, 8%, in the second quarter of 2017, and $26 million, 4%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016, primarily due to an increase from acquired businesses, largely related to the acquisition of Arctic Cat.

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 and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

 

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit typically are expressed for our commercial business in terms of volume, pricing, foreign exchange and acquisitions.  Additionally, changes in segment profit may be expressed in terms of mix, inflation and cost performance. Volume changes in revenues represent increases/decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided.  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.  For segment profit, mix represents a change due to the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins.  Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension or other costs.  Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation,

selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

 

Approximately 25% of our 2016 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government.  For our segments that have significant contracts with the U.S. Government, we typically express changes in segment profit related to the government business in terms of volume, changes in program performance or changes in contract mix. Changes in volume that are described in net sales typically drive corresponding changes in our segment profit based on the profit rate for a particular contract. Changes in program performance typically relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to total estimated costs at completion that reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. Changes in contract mix refers to changes in operating margin due to a change in the relative volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes.

Textron Aviation’s revenues decreased $25 million, 2%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $29 million, reflecting lower military and commercial turboprop volume.  This decrease was partially offset by higher Citation jet volume and mix of $47 million, largely due to a change in the mix of aircraft sold during the period.  We delivered 46 Citation jets, 19 King Air turboprops and 4 Beechcraft T-6 trainers in the second quarter of 2017, compared with 45 Citation jets, 23 King Air turboprops and 11 Beechcraft T-6 trainers in the second quarter of 2016.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 34% of its total revenues in both the second quarter of 2017 and 2016.

 

In the first half of 2017, Textron Aviation’s revenues decreased $146 million, 6%, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $165 million, largely the result of lower military and commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 81 Citation jets, 31 King Air turboprops and 6 Beechcraft T-6 trainers in the first half of 2017, compared with 79 Citation jets, 49 King Air turboprops and 22 Beechcraft T-6 trainers in the first half of 2016.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 36% of its total revenues in the first half of 2017, compared with 34% in the first half of 2016.

 

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses increased $2 million in the second quarter of 2017 and decreased $82 million, 4%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016.  The decrease in the first half of 2017 was largely due to lower net volume as described above.

Bell’s revenues increased $21 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to the following factors:

 

·                  $118 million increase in other military revenues, primarily reflecting higher H-1 program revenues, as we delivered 14 H-1 aircraft in the second quarter of 2017, compared with 9 H-1 aircraft in the second quarter of 2016.

·                  $86 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries. We delivered 4 V-22 aircraft in the second quarter of 2017, compared with 6 V-22 aircraft in the second quarter of 2016.

·                  $11 million decrease in commercial revenues, primarily due to lower volume.  We delivered 21 commercial aircraft in the second quarter of 2017, compared with 24 aircraft in the second quarter of 2016.

 

Bell’s revenues decreased $96 million, 6%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to the following factors:

 

·                  $69 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries. We delivered 10 V-22 aircraft in the first half of 2017, compared with 12 V-22 aircraft in the first half of 2016.

·                  $27 million decrease in other military revenues, primarily reflecting lower H-1 program revenues, as we delivered 17 H-1 aircraft in the first half of 2017, compared with 19 H-1 aircraft in the first half of 2016.

·                  Commercial revenues were flat due to the change in mix of aircraft sold during the period. Bell delivered 48 commercial aircraft in the first half of 2017, compared with 54 aircraft in the corresponding period of 2016.

 

Bell’s operating expenses decreased $10 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $128 million, 9%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016.  The decrease in the first half of 2017 was primarily due to lower net volume as described above and improved performance described below.

Revenues at Textron Systems decreased $10 million, 2%, in the second quarter of 2017, compared with the second quarter of 2016, primarily due to lower volume of $92 million in the Weapons and Sensors and the Unmanned Systems product lines, partially offset by higher volume of $88 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line.  We completed the final delivery of our discontinued sensor-fuzed weapon product in the second quarter of 2017.

 

Revenues at Textron Systems increased $82 million, 10%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to higher volume of $120 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line, partially offset by lower volume of $56 million in the Weapons and Sensors and the Unmanned Systems product lines.

 

Textron Systems’ operating expenses increased $8 million in the second quarter of 2017 and $109 million, 15%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016.  The increase in the first half of 2017 was primarily due to higher volume as described above and an unfavorable program adjustment described below.

Industrial segment revenues increased $109 million, 11%, in the second quarter of 2017 and $149 million, 8%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016, primarily due to the impact from acquired businesses of $103 million and $132 million, respectively, largely related to the acquisition of Arctic Cat described below.  In the first half of 2017, revenues were also impacted by higher volume of $48 million, primarily related to the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $27 million.

 

On March 6, 2017, we acquired Arctic Cat, a manufacturer of all-terrain vehicles, side-by-sides and snowmobiles, in addition to related parts, garments and accessories.  Arctic Cat provides a platform to expand our product portfolio and increase our distribution channel to support growth within our Textron Specialized Vehicles business.  The operating results of Arctic Cat have been included in our financial results only for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition.  See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding this acquisition.

 

Operating expenses for the Industrial segment increased $126 million, 14%, in the second quarter of 2017 and $181 million,10%, in the first half of 2017, compared with the corresponding periods of 2016, primarily due to additional operating expenses from acquired businesses and higher volume.

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:

We believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage.  We 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.

 

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.  At July 1, 2017, 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.  In March 2017, we issued $350 million in 3.65% Notes due March 2027 under this registration statement, and in March 2016, we issued $350 million in 4.0% Notes due March 2026.

Cash flows from operating activities increased $311 million during the first half of 2017, compared with the first half of 2016, primarily due to improvements in working capital.  Significant factors contributing to the favorable change in working capital included an increase in cash flows of $381 million related to changes in inventory between the periods, principally in the Textron Aviation and Textron Systems segments, and $343 million related to changes in customer deposits, partially offset by a decrease in cash flows of $287 million from a change in accounts payable.  The increase in cash flows from customer deposits between the periods is primarily related to a decrease in performance-based payments received on certain military contracts in the first half of 2016.  In the first half of 2017 and 2016, cash flows from operating activities included $24 million and $60 million, respectively, of cash proceeds from the settlements of corporate-owned life insurance policies.

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

 

The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are disclosed on pages 33 through 35 in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.

 

Long-Term Contracts

We make a substantial portion of our sales to government customers pursuant to long-term contracts.  These contracts require development and delivery of products over multiple years and may contain fixed-price purchase options for additional products.  We account for these long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting.  Under this method, we estimate profit as the difference between total estimated revenues and cost of a contract.  The percentage-of-completion method of accounting involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion and, in some cases, includes estimates of recoveries asserted against the customer for changes in specifications.  Due to the size, length of time and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total contract costs and revenues through completion is complicated and subject to many variables relative to the outcome of future events over a period of several years.  We are required to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as expected engineering requirements, complexity of design and related development costs, product performance, performance of subcontractors, availability and cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, overhead and capital costs, manufacturing efficiencies and the achievement of contract milestones, including product deliveries, technical requirements, or schedule.

 

At the outset of each contract, we estimate the initial profit booking rate. The initial profit booking rate of each contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical requirements (for example, a newly-developed product versus a mature product), schedule (for example, the number and type of milestone events), and costs by contract requirements in the initial estimated costs at completion. Profit booking rates may increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and costs aspects of the contract. Likewise, the profit booking rate may decrease if we are not successful in retiring the risks; and, as a result, our estimated costs at completion increase. All of the estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and, therefore, may affect the profit booking rate. When adjustments are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. The aggregate gross amount of all program profit adjustments that are included within segment profit are presented below:
