Textron reports Q2 results

Textron Inc. reported its second quarter 2017 results, including an increased revenue of $3.6 billion, up 2.6 percent from the second quarter of 2016. Textron segment profit in the quarter was $295 million, down $33 million from the second quarter of 2016.

“Revenues were up in the quarter primarily driven by the Arctic Cat acquisition,” said Textron chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly. “We saw strong performance at Bell and were encouraged by the continued strengthening in commercial helicopter demand.”

Textron also reported income from continuing operations of $0.57 per share or $0.60 per share of adjusted income from continuing operations compared to $0.66 per share in the second quarter of 2016.

During this year’s second quarter, the company recorded $13 million of pre-tax special charges ($0.03 per share, after-tax).

Cash Flow

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group for the second quarter totaled $413 million, compared to $107 million in last year’s second quarter. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions, a non-GAAP measure that is defined and reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release, totaled $341 million compared to a use of cash of $26 million during last year’s second quarter.

Donnelly continued, “we saw strong year over year cash performance principally driven by improvements in working capital. We are continuing to invest in our businesses, while taking the opportunity to buy back shares.”

Outlook

Textron reiterated its full-year 2017 GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations guidance of $2.22 to $2.45, or $2.40 to $2.60 on an adjusted basis (non-GAAP), which is reconciled to GAAP in an attachment to this release. The company also confirmed its net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations of the manufacturing group guidance of $1,045 million to $1,145 million and manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions (the non-GAAP measure) of $650 to $750 million.

  1. I WORK FOR A DEALER THAT SALES ARCTIC CAT. THE BIGGEST DOWNFALL THAT ARCTIC CAT (TEXTRON) HAS RIGHT NOW IS THEIR ONLY PRIME LENDER THEY HAVE IS SHEFFIELD. DON’T MISS UNDERSTAND WHAT I’M SAYING SHEFFIELD IS AWESOME BUT TYPICALLY ONLY BUY CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE A EXTREMELY EXCELLENT CREDIT HISTORY AND/OR AT LEAST A 690 OR HIGHER. ARCTIC CAT aka TEXTRON NEEDS ANOTHER PRIME LENDER LIKE SYNCHRONY OR CAPITAL ONE AND THEIR SALES WOULD INCREASE. I’VE BEEN WITH MY CURRENT DEALERSHIP FOR 6 MONS AND THE CUSTOMERS ARE THEIR, BUT LENDING IS VERY LIMITED AND 8 OUT OF 10 CUSTOMER’S THAT WANT A TEXTRON PRODUCT DON’T/CAN’T PUT MONEY DOWN OR THEY DON’T WANT TO GO SUB-PRIME.
