*TEXTRON INC.*

*Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)*

*Note 1. Basis of Presentation*

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. 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.

Contract Estimates

For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, we recognize changes in estimated contract revenues, costs and profits using the cumulative catch-up method of accounting. This method recognizes the cumulative effect of changes on current and prior periods with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the period in which the losses become probable and estimable.

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

*Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Update*

At the beginning of 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (ASC 842), which requires lessees to recognize all leases with a term greater than 12 months on the balance sheet as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities . Upon adoption, the most significant impact was the recognition of $307 million in right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases, while our accounting for finance leases remained unchanged. We applied the provisions of this standard to our existing leases at the adoption date using a retrospective transition method and have not adjusted comparative periods. The cumulative transition adjustment to retained earnings was not significant and the adoption had no impact on our earnings or cash flows . We elected the practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allowed us to carryforward the historical lease classification and to apply hindsight when evaluating options within a contract, resulting in the extension of the lease term for certain of our existing leases.

Table of Contents

Our significant accounting policies are included in Note 1 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. Significant changes to our policies resulting from the adoption of ASC 842 are provided below.

Leases

We identify leases by evaluating our contracts to determine if the contract conveys the right to use an identified asset for a stated period of time in exchange for consideration. Specifically, we consider whether we can control the underlying asset and have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits or outputs from the asset. For our contracts that contain both lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) and non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs, other goods/services), we allocate the consideration in the contract to each component based on its standalone price. Leases with terms greater than 12 months are classified as either operating or finance leases at the commencement date. For these leases, we capitalize the lesser of a) the present value of the minimum lease payments over the lease term, or b) the fair value of the asset, as a right-of-use asset with an offsetting lease liability. The discount rate used to calculate the present value of the minimum lease payments is typically our incremental borrowing rate, as the rate implicit in the lease is generally not known or determinable. The lease term includes any noncancelable period for which we have the right to use the asset and may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Operating leases are recognized as a single lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term, while finance lease cost is recognized separately as amortization and interest expense.

*Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted*

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. For most financial assets, such as trade and other receivables, loans and other instruments, this standard changes the current incurred loss model to a forward-looking expected credit loss model, which generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. The new standard is effective for our company at the beginning of 2020. Entities are required to apply the 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.

*Note 3. Accounts Receivable and Finance Receivables*

*Accounts Receivable*

Accounts receivable is composed of the following:

(In millions) — Commercial $ 946 $ 885
U.S. Government contracts 142 166
1,088 1,051
Allowance for doubtful accounts (29) (27)
Total $ 1,059 $ 1,024

*Finance Receivables*

Finance receivables are presented in the following table:

(In millions) — Finance receivables $ 782 $ 789
Allowance for losses (26) (29)
Total finance receivables, net $ 756 $ 760

*Finance Receivable Portfolio Quality*

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

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful. Accounts are classified as watchlist when credit quality indicators have deteriorated as compared with typical underwriting criteria, and we believe collection of full principal and interest is probable but not certain. All other finance receivables that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing.

SEQ.=1,FOLIO='9',FILE='C:\JMS\105330\19-6598-1\task9319616\6598-1-fn.htm',USER='105330',CD='Apr 22 21:49 2019'

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.

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

(Dollars in millions) — Performing $ 708 $ 704
Watchlist 43 45
Nonaccrual 31 40
Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables 3.96% 5.07%
Less than 31 days past due $ 691 $ 719
31-60 days past due 70 56
61-90 days past due 17 5
Over 90 days past due 4 9
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables 2.69% 1.77%

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 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.

(In millions) — Finance receivables evaluated collectively $ 650 $ 630
Finance receivables evaluated individually 31 58
Allowance for losses based on collective evaluation 24 24
Allowance for losses based on individual evaluation 2 5
Impaired finance receivables with no related allowance for losses $ 21 $ 43
Impaired finance receivables with related allowance for losses 10 15
Unpaid principal balance on impaired finance receivables 40 67

*Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements*

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability into a three-tier fair value hierarchy. This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions. Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2. Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data. These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost effective to obtain.

*Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis*

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily utilize foreign currency exchange contracts with maturities of no more than three years to manage this volatility. These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses. Net gains and losses recognized in earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on cash flow hedges, including gains and losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not significant in the periods presented.

Our foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2. At March 30, 2019 and December 29, 2018, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $489 million and $379 million, respectively. At March 30, 2019, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $4 million asset and a $7 million liability. At December 29, 2018, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $2 million asset and a $10 million liability.

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

*Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value*

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

(In millions) Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value Carrying Value Estimated Fair Value
Manufacturing group
Debt, excluding leases $ (3,105) $ (3,135) $ (2,996) $ (2,971)
Finance group
Finance receivables, excluding leases 579 610 582 584
Debt (711) (645) (718) (640)

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2). The fair value for the Finance group debt was determined primarily based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations (Level 2). Fair value estimates for finance receivables were determined based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which include estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and expectations of borrowers’ ability to make payments on a timely basis.

Dividends per share of common stock were $0.02 for both the three months ended March 30, 2019 and March 31, 2018.

*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 thousands) Three Months Ended — March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding 234,839 260,497
Dilutive effect of stock options 1,598 3,175
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding 236,437 263,672

Stock options to purchase 3.1 million and 1.3 million shares of common stock are excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

*Note 10. Segment Information*

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. On July 2, 2018, we sold our Tools and Test Equipment businesses that were previously included in the Industrial segment as discussed in Note 2 of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, gains/losses on major business dispositions and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

*Contract Assets and Liabilities*

Assets and liabilities related to our contracts with customers are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At March 30, 2019, contract assets and contract liabilities totaled $477 million and $927 million, respectively. At December 29, 2018, contract assets and contract liabilities totaled $461 million and $974 million, respectively. During the first quarter of 2019, we recognized $311 million in revenues that were included in the contract liability balance at December 29, 2018. We recognized $322 million in revenues in the first quarter of 2018 that were included in the contract liability balance at the adoption date.

*Note 12. Share-Based Compensation*

Under our share-based compensation plans, we have authorization to provide awards to selected employees in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, performance stock, performance share units and other awards. Share-based compensation expense for awards subject only to service conditions vest ratably and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. For e mployees eligible for early retirement under the plans, the service requirement of the award is satisfied at the date of grant and the expense is recognized in the period the award is granted. Compensation expense included in net income for these plans is as follows:

(In millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Compensation expense $ 44 $ 33
Income tax benefit (11) (7)
Total net compensation expense included in net income $ 33 $ 26

*Stock Options*

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

The weighted-average fair value of options granted and the assumptions used in our option-pricing model for such grants are as follows:

March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Fair value of options at grant date $ 14.62 $ 15.83
Dividend yield 0.2% 0.1%
Expected volatility 26.6% 26.6%
Risk-free interest rate 2.5% 2.6%
Expected term (in years) 4.7 4.7

The stock option activity during the first quarter of 2019 is provided below:

(Options in thousands) Number of Options
Outstanding at beginning of period 8,284 $ 40.58

Forfeited or expired (75) (47.43)
Outstanding at end of period 9,234 $ 43.84
Exercisable at end of period 6,182 $ 38.45

At March 30, 2019 , our outstanding options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $80 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of six years. Our exercisable options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $79 million and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of five years at March 30, 2019 . The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $16 million and $8 million during the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

*Note 14. Income Taxes*

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research credits related to prior years. In the first quarter of 2018, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to benefits recognized from audit settlements.

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

An analysis of our consolidated operating results is set forth below. A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 20 to 23.

*Revenues*

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

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

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

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

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

*Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense*

Cost of sales decreased $152 million, 6%, in the first quarter of 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2018, largely resulting from the disposition of the Tools and Test Equipment product line and lower net volume as described above . Selling and administrative expense decreased $20 million, 6%, in the first quarter of 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting the impact from the disposition of the Tools and Test Equipment product line .

*Income Taxes*

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 was 15.6% and 13.3%, respectively. In the first quarter of 2019, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to a $12 million benefit recognized for additional research credits related to prior years . In the first quarter of 2018, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21%, primarily due to benefits recognized from audit settlements.

*Backlog*

Our backlog is summarized below:

Textron Aviation 1,995 1,791
Textron Systems 1,407 1,469
Total backlog $ 9,698 $ 9,097

Bell’s backlog increased $459 million, 8%, in the first quarter of 2019, primarily as a result of new military contracts received, largely related to the H-1 helicopter program. Backlog at Textron Aviation increased $204 million, 11%, in the first quarter of 2019, as a result of orders in excess of deliveries.

*Segment Analysis*

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses, gains/losses on major business dispositions and special charges. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. Operating expenses for the Manufacturing segments include cost of sales, selling and administrative expense and other non-service components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit), and exclude certain corporate expenses and special charges.

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit typically are expressed for our commercial business in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, while changes in segment profit may be expressed in terms of volume and mix, inflation and cost performance. For revenues, volume and mix represents changes in revenues from increases or decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold. 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 from the sale of businesses are reflected as Dispositions. For segment profit, volume and mix represents a change due to the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins. Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension service cost or other costs. Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, non-service pension cost/(credit), product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 24% of our 2018 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 revenue related to these contracts are expressed in terms of volume. Revenues for our U.S. Government contracts are primarily recognized as costs are incurred. Changes in segment profit 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*

(Dollars in millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Revenues:
Aircraft $ 766 $ 634

*Textron Aviation Revenues and Operating Expenses*

The following factors contributed to the change in Textron Aviation’s revenues from the prior year quarter:

(In millions)
Volume and mix $ 118
Pricing 6
Total change $ 124

Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $124 million, 12%, in the first quarter of 2019, compared with the first quarter of 2018, primarily due to higher volume and mix of $118 million, largely the result of higher Citation jet volume and commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 44 Citation jets and 44 commercial turboprops in the first quarter of 2019, compared with 36 Citation jets and 29 commercial turboprops in the first quarter of 2018.

*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:

(Dollars in millions)
Manufacturing group
Cash and equivalents $ 646 $ 987
Debt 3,175 3,066
Shareholders’ equity 5,233 5,192
Capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) 8,408 8,258
Net debt (net of cash and equivalents) to capital 33% 29%
Debt to capital 38% 37%
Finance group
Cash and equivalents $ 96 $ 120
Debt 711 718

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 March 30, 2019, 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.

*Manufacturing Group Cash Flows*

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

(In millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Operating activities $ (196) $ (53)
Investing activities (56) (10)
Financing activities (98) (339)

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

Cash flows used in investing activities included capital expenditures of $59 million and $77 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investing cash flows also included net proceeds received from corporate-owned life insurance policies of $2 million and $58 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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

*Finance Group Cash Flows*

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

(In millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Operating activities $ 5 $ 3
Investing activities 39 31
Financing activities (68) (69)

The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities primarily included collections on finance receivables totaling $40 million and $65 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively, partially offset by finance receivable originations of $29 million and $34 million, respectively. Financing activities in both the first quarter of 2019 and 2018 primarily reflected a dividend payment of $50 million to the Manufacturing group.

*Consolidated Cash Flows*

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

(In millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Operating activities $ (216) $ (85)
Investing activities (42) 6
Financing activities (116) (358)

In the first quarter of 2019, the net cash outflow from Consolidated operating activities was $216 million, compared with $85 million in the first quarter of 2018, primarily reflecting changes in working capital, which included an increase in cash outflows of $87 million related to changes in inventories between the periods.

Investing cash flows included capital expenditures of $59 million and $77 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively. Investing cash flows also included net proceeds received from corporate-owned life insurance policies of $2 million and $58 million in the first quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

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

*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*

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The accounting estimates that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are reported in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2018. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.

*Revenue Recognition*

A substantial portion of our revenues is related to long-term contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program, for t he design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products as well as related services. D ue 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:

(In millions) March 30, 2019 March 31, 2018
Gross favorable $ 53 $ 56
Gross unfavorable (22) (16)
Net adjustments $ 31 $ 40
