FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS,
I n 2012, we saw exciting growth in many of our businesses. At Bell Helicopter, a 50
percent increase in commercial deliveries, continued military program success, and
ongoing expansion of service support contributed to record revenues and earnings
for the year. At Cessna, we broadened our global sales and service footprint,
increased revenues and improved margins. In our Industrial businesses, multiple
product introductions and significant sales increases led to a solid year with improved
revenues and profitability. In our Finance segment, our Captive Finance business returned
to profitability during 2012 and supported financing of over $300 million in Textron
product sales to customers in 21 countries. Our Textron Systems businesses—despite
ongoing budgetary uncertainties in Washington—captured key contracts for products like
our armored security vehicles and unmanned aircraft systems, positioning the company
well for years to come.
across the globe to stimulate higher sales. For Greenlee, this led
to substantial increases in sales in Asia, the Middle East, South
America, and Latin America; and for Jacobsen, to several multi-
course contract wins in Europe. At Bell Helicopter and Cessna,
we improved our proximity to international customers—opening
a combination of sales, maintenance, pilot training, and state-
of-the-art service centers in key markets like China, Singapore,
India, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. Partnering with defense
customers to understand their needs, Textron Systems won a
number of important, multi-year programs with the U.S. armed
services, as well as the Canadian Army and Afghan National Army.
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PEOPLE
In each of our businesses our people sought and found creative
ways to build on our powerful brands with a significant increase
in new product development programs, important wins in our
defense businesses and expansion of our global footprint—
our company provides numerous opportunities for our people
to grow their technical and leadership skills which in turn drives
our future success.
In 2013, I look to our people to continue their great work in
delivering unique solutions to our customers, profitable growth for
our shareholders, and greater opportunities for all in our businesses.
SCOTT C. DONNELLY
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
For the year, total revenues reached $12.2 billion and operating
profit grew to $1.1 billion, nearly doubling compared to 2011.
In concert with the strong performance of our businesses,
Textron’s share price increased—rising 30 percent during 2012—
far outpacing the S&P 500 Index and most of our peer companies.
Much of this progress stemmed from investments we made to
bring numerous new products to market and build new sales and
service capabilities in important growth regions of the world.
DRIVING GROWTH THROUGH NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Throughout 2012, we announced new products that will
drive our future growth. At Bell Helicopter, we introduced the
525 Relentless™, a new class of rotorcraft reflecting a close
collaboration with our customers. Offering unprecedented
capabilities, this new helicopter fills a void in the marketplace and
demonstrates our continued commitment to advancing flight for
the commercial helicopter customer. At Cessna, we unveiled four
new products spanning both our jet and piston aircraft business
and offering impressive advances in speed, range, fuel efficiency,
comfort, and the latest in aviation technology.
In our industrial and defense businesses, we saw an equally
accelerated pace of product innovation. E-Z-GO launched five new
products for its golf and hunting customers; Jacobsen introduced
three enhancements to its turf care product line; Kautex continued
to further its next-generation fuel systems; and Greenlee again raised
the standard for the trade industry, with product innovations that
make work faster, easier, and safer for electrician and plumbing
customers. At Textron Systems, we advanced the performance
of several of our defense products, such as armored vehicles,
intelligence analysis software, and the ability of our unmanned
systems to serve our country’s and our allies’ security needs.
DRIVING SALES BY GETTING CLOSER TO
THE CUSTOMER, AROUND THE WORLD
Across Textron in 2012, there was an intensive push to bolster our
presence worldwide. In our Industrial businesses, we increased
our sales coverage and strengthened our distribution channels

B ell Helicopter went from an outstanding 2011 to an
even more impressive 2012. We continued to meet
the delivery expectations of our military customers—
while growing our commercial business and our global
service footprint. Compared to last year, revenues
jumped 21 percent to nearly $4.3 billion and profit increased
23 percent to $639 million.
Building upon last year’s strong bookings, Bell’s commercial
business was up sharply in 2012; we delivered 188 aircraft
this year compared to 125 for 2011. Across the entire commercial
line, innovation was a driving force. At the 2012 Helicopter
Association International trade show, we introduced the Bell
525 Relentless™—our largest-ever commercial helicopter with
a spacious cabin, more cargo capacity, and sophisticated avionics.
In a class by itself, the 525 is designed to provide our customers
with large helicopter performance at medium helicopter economics.
Expanding our global sales and service has also been a keen focus
for the year. In 2012, we performed numerous demonstration tours
for the Bell 429 and 407GX in Latin America, Europe, Russia,
and the Middle East, attracting new customers along the way. We
also accelerated efforts in important markets like India where we
established a new operations center—and in China where we formed
strategic sales, maintenance, and pilot training relationships.
Additionally, in partnership with Cessna, we opened a state-of-the-
art service center in Singapore. This adds to the company’s already
extensive network of customer service facilities in 35 countries.
4
For its military customers, Bell Helicopter’s performance in
supplying battle-tested rotorcraft for our armed forces led to
significant deliveries in 2012. As the world’s only provider of
actively-deployed tiltrotor technology, the Bell-Boeing partnership
delivered 39 V-22’s to branches of the U.S. armed forces this
year, an increase from the 34 delivered in 2011.
Serving our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army’s
Kiowa Warrior fleet accumulated two million flight hours—with
nearly 40 percent of those hours flown in combat. To address the
attrition rates of this heavily utilized aircraft, Bell was awarded a
new contract to replace and refurbish Kiowa Warriors that fly in
the world’s harshest battle conditions.
In the area of customer support, Bell continues to outshine the
competition, earning several noteworthy accolades in 2012.
For the 7th consecutive year, Aviation International News readers
rated Bell Helicopter #1 for rotorcraft product support—this
year, topping the scores in nine of the 10 categories. In addition,
Professional Pilot readers ranked Bell Helicopter #1 for customer
support—for the 19th consecutive year.
Bell Helicopter is committed to investing in the future of
rotorcraft for our commercial and military customers around
the world through new product development and expansion
of our global training and service centers.

selected to build an additional 200 Mobile Strike Force Vehicles for
the Afghan National Army—bringing orders in 2012 to a total of
499—with deliveries scheduled into 2013.
Along with multiple contract wins, we also continued to expand
our product lines through new product investments. Across
Textron Systems’ diverse operating units, we introduced the
COMMANDO™ family of armored vehicles; BattleHawk™ advanced
precision munition; and enhanced IMPACT™ intelligence analysis
software. We further developed our unmanned surface vessel
and achieved the successful first flights of the Shadow®M2,
a significantly larger, higher-payload version of the RQ-7B
Shadow—plus delivered numerous classified military solutions.
Overall, key wins and innovations demonstrated throughout 2012
have secured important relationships for Textron Systems. As we
look into 2013, Textron Systems will remain focused on executing
well on recently won programs and continuing to win new
opportunities in the U.S. and beyond.
T hroughout 2012, Textron Systems pursued and
won some of the year’s most sought-after defense
contracts—with the U.S. and its allies awarding the
company several multi-year contracts for new vehicles,
ships, unmanned aircraft, technologies and services.
On the U.S. front, Textron Marine & Land Systems won a contract
to develop the Navy’s Ship-to-Shore Connector program. This
development program will lead to the replacement of current
landing craft and will provide a modernized means for the U.S.
Navy and Marine Corps to land at more than 80 percent of the
world’s shorelines in future years. In addition, our AAI Unmanned
Aircraft Systems business won fee-for-service contracts to provide
aerial intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capability for
the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Special Operations Command.
The U.S. Army awarded Unmanned Aircraft Systems a $358
million contract for engineering support and upgrades for an
additional 45 new generation Shadow unmanned aircraft systems.
This enhancement will increase the capability of the current
Shadow aircraft which has proven highly effective in tactical
reconnaissance missions with over 800,000 flight hours.
Textron Marine & Land Systems continued to expand its
international customer base as a result of new contract awards,
including the Canadian Forces Tactical Armored Patrol Vehicles
program with the delivery of 500 vehicles spanning two years and
an option for 100 more. Textron Marine & Land Systems was also

D uring 2012, Cessna brought innovative new products
to the general aviation market and sales and service
capabilities closer to our customers around the world.
Even with continued economic challenges in the industry,
Cessna remains on an upward trajectory—with revenues
increasing by $121 million in 2012 compared to last year and
segment profit increasing by $22 million.
Throughout the year, the pace of product introductions reached a
new high for Cessna. In all, we announced four new aircraft—further
upgrading and expanding our product portfolio. Expected to enter
service in 2017, the Citation Longitude is a new super-midsize jet that
appeals to customers needing a spacious, well-appointed interior
for up to 12 passengers with an interior baggage compartment. Its
innovative engine will deliver better fuel efficiency than any other jet in
its class, leading to a 4,000 nautical mile range. Additionally, our new
Citation Sovereign will enter service in 2013. It is designed to provide
increased range of 3,000 nautical miles, high speed cruise of 458
knots, fully-integrated automatic throttles and lowered operating costs.
In addition to these new jets, we announced new turbo prop and
single-engine piston aircraft in 2012. The Grand Caravan EX
builds on the legacy of the Grand Caravan by adding executive
amenities; superior climb performance and speed with a new 867
horsepower engine. We also announced the Turbo Skylane JT-A;
a four-passenger piston plane with a game-changing Jet A fueled
engine. The Turbo Skylane JT-A is designed to deliver up to 40
percent greater fuel efficiency than conventionally-powered
aircraft and over 1,000 nautical miles of range.
6
With Citation now representing approximately 41 percent of
the light and mid-size business jet fleet worldwide, this year
we accelerated our global expansion efforts to provide even
greater access to Cessna’s award-winning service team. In
2012, Cessna built comprehensive customer service centers in
Singapore and Spain and acquired service centers in Doncaster,
U.K., Dusseldorf, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland.
Looking to the East, Cessna entered a strategic agreement in
2012 with Aviation Industry Corporation of China to develop
general and business aviation in China. To date, this relationship
has produced two joint ventures involving the final assembly
and sale of Cessna products for the China market. As part of
this expansion, we also extended our sales reach by adding sales
representatives with accountability for the Asia Pacific market.
Continuing our 85-year legacy as leader of the world’s general
aviation industry, Cessna also celebrated several significant
product milestones in 2012, including our 10,000th delivery
out of the Independence, Kansas facility, the production of
our 400th Citation Mustang and our 100th Citation CJ4.
Additionally, the Citation M2 made its first flight in March
and the Citation X reclaimed the title of world’s fastest civilian
aircraft, with a maximum operating speed of Mach 0.935.
Going forward, this combination of proven performance, innovation,
and expansion into new markets will position Cessna to strengthen
our legacy into 2013 and beyond.

C hosen by many of the world’s top automakers,
golf course owners, outdoorsmen, construction
and electrical contractors, our Industrial businesses
focused on bringing new products to market in 2012—
fueling our growth around the world. Collectively,
these businesses delivered revenues of $2.9 billion for 2012
with segment profit rising by 6 percent to reach $215 million.
In the light transportation vehicle market, E-Z-GO continued to
broaden its reach by finding new opportunities across a wide range
of applications. For its golf customers, E-Z-GO rolled out the new
PowerFilm Solar Panel that attaches to the golf car canopy and
lowers energy costs by up to 20 percent. For hunting enthusiasts,
the company’s Bad Boy Buggies brand launched four new products
in 2012. The new Bad Boy Buggies Ambush® model lets the driver
switch between silent electric power or the additional range offered
by a gas engine. Also, Bad Boy Buggies introduced three new all-
electric models: the Recoil™, Recoil iS, and Instinct®.
On the turf care side of our business, Jacobsen’s global
equipment sales were up nearly 13 percent in 2012. In the
U.K. and China, Jacobsen posted record growth, with gains
of 25 and 90 percent, respectively. New products for 2012
included the ECLIPSE® 322 three-wheel-drive riding greens
mower, enhanced for climbing steep terrain; the Fairway range
products, with improved cooling technology for use in hot
climates; and the TrueSet™ cutting unit that saves valuable
time for turf technicians.
7
Our Greenlee professional tools business realized double-digit
sales gains in markets like Brazil, Mexico, Russia, and the Middle
East—with much of 2012’s growth driven by product innovation.
We launched several products for the electrical, utility, and
data communication trades where workforce efficiency is a
priority. For example, our new SPEED PUNCH™ system punches
holes in metal three times faster than the traditional method.
Additionally, we enhanced our battery-powered IntelliCRIMP™
system to enable greater crimping capacity and to make crimping
connections faster and easier.
In the automotive market, Kautex was awarded several contracts
in 2012 to produce fuel systems for well-respected brands, such
as Audi, BMW and Jaguar—evidence that our next-generation
fuel system as well as our selective catalytic reduction systems
are helping us to win in the marketplace. Also, to better meet
the global demand, Kautex added production, development and
validation centers in China, Europe and North America to its
network of plants, close to automakers in Asia, Europe and
North America.
As world economies continue to recover, Textron’s Industrial
businesses are well positioned to meet customer needs with
powerful brands and differentiated products. For 2013, we plan
to add production, sales and distribution power to our Industrial
businesses—addressing our customers’ needs around the world.

Non-Captive receivables over the next two years.
As Textron continues to lead the way with new aircraft,
golf cars and turf care equipment, the Finance segment has
a natural opportunity to facilitate loans and leases for many
of those customers. These services strengthen our customer
relationships, and open new avenues for profitable growth.
O ur Captive Finance business performed well in 2012,
enabling many of our customers to purchase and
lease Textron-manufactured products—primarily new
Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters. With more than a
half-century of aviation finance experience, our experts
have guided over 182,000 customers through their aircraft loan
or lease origination—in more than 68 countries.
For aircraft transactions outside the U.S., our Captive Finance
solutions are often superior to what customers can obtain
through their in-country banks. In fact, most of our Captive
Finance loans are related to cross-border aircraft sales. In
2012, Captive Finance supported sales of 93 new aircraft for
Cessna and Bell Helicopter. Of these loans, 87 percent were for
customers outside the United States and coordinated through
our key strategic relationships with the Export-Import Bank of
the United States and Export Development Canada. Our ability to
offer this financing provides added value for our customers, and
is increasingly important for our businesses’ international growth.
In addition to our focus on the financing of Textron product
purchases around the world, we also continued to exit other
types of financial services. As a result, the health of the Finance
segment has strengthened considerably in recent years. Textron’s
Finance segment was profitable in 2012 for the first time since
2007. Revenues totaled $215 million, with segment profit of
$64 million for the year. During 2012, total Non-Captive finance

Footnote to Selected Year-Over-Year Financial Data
1 We use Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions as our measure of free cash flow. This measure is not a financial measure under
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be used in conjunction with GAAP cash measures provided in our Consolidated
Statement of Cash Flows. Free cash flow is a measure generally used by investors, analysts and management to gauge a company’s ability
to generate cash from operations in excess of that necessary to be reinvested to sustain and grow the business and fund its obligations.
Our definition of Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions adjusts net cash from operating activities of continuing operations for
dividends received from TFC, capital contributions provided under the Support Agreement, capital expenditures, proceeds from the sale of
property, plant and equipment and contributions to our pension plans. We believe that our calculation provides a relevant measure of liquidity
and is a useful basis for assessing our ability to fund operations and obligations. This measure may not be comparable with similarly titled
measures reported by other companies, as there is no definitive accounting standard on how the measure should be calculated. A reconciliation
of net cash from operating activities of continuing operations as presented in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to Manufacturing cash
flow before pension contributions is provided below:

Textron Inc. is a multi-industry company that leverages its global network of aircraft, defense, industrial and finance businesses to
provide customers with innovative products and services around the world. We have approximately 33,000 employees worldwide.
Textron Inc. was founded in 1923 and reincorporated in Delaware on July 31, 1967. Unless otherwise indicated, references to
“Textron Inc.,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to Textron Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries.
We conduct our business through five operating segments: Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial, which represent our
manufacturing businesses, and Finance, which represents our finance business. A description of the business of each of our
segments is set forth below. Our business segments include operations that are unincorporated divisions of Textron Inc. and others
that are separately incorporated subsidiaries. Financial information by business segment and geographic area appears in Note 17
to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 80 through 81 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following description
of our business should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” on pages 19 through 38 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Information included in this Annual Report on Form

Cessna Segment
Cessna is the world’s leading general aviation company based on unit sales with two principal lines of business: Aircraft sales and
aftermarket services. Aircraft sales include Citation jets, Caravan single-engine utility turboprops, single-engine piston aircraft
and lift solutions by CitationAir. Aftermarket services include parts, maintenance, inspection and repair services. Revenues in the
Cessna segment accounted for approximately 25%, 26% and 24% of our total revenues in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Revenues for Cessna’s principal lines of business were as follows:

The family of jets currently produced by Cessna includes the Mustang, Citation CJ2+, Citation CJ3, Citation CJ4, Citation XLS+,
Citation Sovereign and Citation X. Deliveries of the Citation M2 are expected to begin in the second half of 2013, and Cessna
anticipates receiving certification and beginning delivery of the new Citation X model, with updated design and performance from
the original Citation X, in late 2013. During 2012, Cessna announced the development of the Citation Longitude, a super midsize
business jet expected to enter into service in 2017, as well as the new Citation Sovereign, an upgraded midsize business jet planned
for a late 2013 entry into service. In addition, Cessna increased the range for the previously announced Citation Latitude to 2,500
nautical miles; this aircraft is expected to enter into service in 2015.
The Cessna Caravan is the world’s best-selling utility turboprop. Caravans are used in the United States primarily for overnight
express package shipments and for personal transportation. International uses of Caravans include humanitarian flights, tourism
and freight transport. Cessna also offers a single-engine piston product line, which includes the Skycatcher, Skyhawk SP, Skylane,
Stationair and the Corvalis TTX. The Turbo Skylane JT-A was announced in 2012 with deliveries expected to begin in 2013.
The Citation family of aircraft currently is supported by 15 Citation Service Centers owned or operated by Cessna, two of which
are co-located with Bell Helicopter, along with authorized independent service stations and centers located in more than 25
countries throughout the world. Cessna-owned Service Centers provide customers with 24-hour service and maintenance. Cessna
also provides around-the-clock parts support for Citation aircraft. Cessna offers an array of service options for Citation aircraft,
known as SERVICEDIRECT®, which delivers service capabilities directly to customer locations with a Mobile Service Unit fleet
of 22 vehicles in the United States, Canada and Europe. Cessna Caravan and single-engine piston customers receive product
support through independently owned service stations and around-the-clock parts support through Cessna.
Cessna markets its products worldwide through its own sales force, as well as through a network of authorized independent sales
representatives. Cessna has several competitors domestically and internationally in various market segments. Cessna’s aircraft
compete with other aircraft that vary in size, speed, range, capacity and handling characteristics on the basis of price, product
quality and reliability, product support and reputation.
CitationAir provides a spectrum of private aviation lift solutions, including Jet Charter, Jet Management and Corporate Solutions
throughout the contiguous U.S. and in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Bermuda.

Bell supplies advanced military helicopters and support to the U.S. Government and to military customers outside the United
States. Bell’s primary U.S. Government programs are the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and the H-1 helicopters. Bell is one of the leading
suppliers of helicopters to the U.S. Government and, in association with The Boeing Company (Boeing), the only supplier of
military tiltrotor aircraft. Tiltrotor aircraft are designed to provide the benefits of both helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft.
Through its strategic alliance with Boeing, Bell produces and supports the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft for the U.S. Department of
Defense (DoD). The U.S. Marine Corps H-1 helicopter program includes a utility model and an advanced attack model, the UH-
1Y and the AH-1Z, respectively, which have 84% parts commonality between them. Bell also continues to support the OH-58D
Kiowa Warrior helicopter.
Through its commercial business, Bell is a leading supplier of commercially certified helicopters and support to corporate,
offshore petroleum exploration and development, utility, charter, police, fire, rescue, emergency medical helicopter operators and
foreign governments. Bell produces a variety of commercial aircraft types, including light single- and twin-engine helicopters and
medium twin-engine helicopters, along with other related products. The helicopters currently offered by Bell for commercial
applications include the 206L-4, 407, 407GX, 412, 429 and Huey II. Bell’s 525 Relentless, its first super medium commercial
helicopter, is currently in development with a projected first flight in 2014.
For both its military programs and its commercial products, Bell provides post-sale support and service for its installed base of
approximately 13,000 helicopters through a network of Bell-operated service sites, service facilities co-located with Cessna, 108
independent service centers and six supply centers that are located worldwide. Collectively, these service sites offer a complete
range of logistics support, including parts, support equipment, technical data, training devices, pilot and maintenance training,
component repair and overhaul, engine repair and overhaul, aircraft modifications, aircraft customizing, accessory manufacturing,
contractor maintenance, field service and product support engineering.
Bell competes against a number of competitors throughout the world for its helicopter business and its parts and support business.
Competition is based primarily on price, product quality and reliability, product support, performance and reputation.
Textron Systems Segment
Textron Systems’ product lines consist of unmanned aircraft systems, land and marine systems, weapons and sensors and a variety
of defense and aviation mission support products and services. Textron Systems is a supplier to the defense, aerospace, homeland
security and general aviation markets, and represents approximately 14%, 17% and 19% of Textron’s revenues in 2012, 2011 and
2010, respectively. While this segment sells most of its products to U.S. Government customers, it also sells products to
customers outside the U.S. through foreign military sales sponsored by the U.S. Government and directly through commercial
sales channels. Textron Systems competes on the basis of technology, contract performance, price, product quality and reliability,

Fuel Systems and Functional Components
Our Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line is operated by our Kautex business unit, which is headquartered in
Bonn, Germany. Kautex is a leading developer and manufacturer of blow-molded plastic fuel systems for cars, light trucks, all-
terrain vehicles, windshield and headlamp washer systems for automobiles and selective catalytic reduction systems used to reduce
emissions from diesel engines. Kautex serves the global automobile market, with operating facilities near its major customers
around the world. In addition, Kautex produces cast iron engine camshafts in North America. From facilities in Germany and
Poland, Kautex develops and produces plastic bottles and containers for food, household, laboratory and industrial uses. Revenues
of Kautex accounted for approximately 15%, 16% and 16% of our total revenues in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Our automotive products have several major competitors worldwide, some of which are affiliated with the original equipment
manufacturers that comprise our targeted customer base. Competition typically is based on a number of factors including price,
technology, environmental performance, product quality and reliability, prior experience and available manufacturing capacity.
Golf, Turf Care and Light Transportation Vehicles
Our Golf, Turf Care and Light Transportation Vehicles product line includes the products designed, manufactured and sold by our
E-Z-GO and Jacobsen business units. E-Z-GO designs, manufactures and sells golf cars, off-road utility vehicles and light
transportation vehicles under the E-Z-GO, Cushman and Bad Boy Buggies brand names. Although E-Z-GO is best known for its
electric-vehicle technology, it also manufactures and sells models powered by internal combustion engines. E-Z-GO’s diversified
customer base includes golf courses and resorts, government agencies and municipalities, consumers, and commercial and
industrial users such as factories, warehouses, airports and educational and corporate campuses. Sales are made through a
combination of factory direct resources and a network of independent distributors and dealers worldwide. E-Z-GO has two major
competitors for golf cars and several other competitors for off-road and light transportation vehicles. Competition is based
4 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
primarily on price, product quality and reliability, product support and reputation.
Jacobsen designs, manufactures and sells professional turf-maintenance equipment, as well as specialized turf-care vehicles.
Brand names include Ransomes, Jacobsen and Cushman. Jacobsen’s customers include golf courses, resort communities, sporting
venues and municipalities. Products are sold primarily through a worldwide network of distributors and dealers, as well as factory
direct. Jacobsen has two major competitors for professional turf-maintenance equipment and several other major competitors for
specialized turf-care products. Competition is based primarily on price, product features, product quality and reliability and
product support.
Powered Tools, Testing and Measurement Equipment
Our Greenlee business unit designs and manufactures powered equipment, electrical test and measurement instruments,
mechanical and hydraulic tools, cable connectors, and fiber optic assemblies under the Greenlee, Klauke, Paladin Tools and
Tempo brand names. These products are used principally in the construction, maintenance, telecommunications, data
communications, utility and plumbing industries. Greenlee distributes its products through a global network of sales
representatives and distributors and also sells its products directly to home improvement retailers and original equipment
manufacturers. Through joint ventures in North America and China, Greenlee also sells its products to the plumbing, industrial
manufacturing and related industries. Greenlee faces competition from numerous manufacturers based primarily on price, delivery
lead time, product quality and reliability.
Finance Segment
Our Finance segment, or the Finance group, is a commercial finance business that consists of Textron Financial Corporation (TFC)
and its consolidated subsidiaries, along with three other finance subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. In the fourth quarter of 2008,
we announced a plan to exit the non-captive portion of the commercial finance business of our Finance segment while retaining the
captive portion of the business that supports customer purchases of products that we manufacture. The non-captive portion of this
business is based primarily in North America and includes the following product lines: Golf Mortgage, Timeshare and Structured
Capital. The exit plan is being effected through a combination of orderly liquidation and selected sales. During 2012, we reduced
our total finance receivable portfolio by $821 million primarily through liquidations. We expect to liquidate the majority of the
remaining $370 million in the non-captive portfolio over the next two years.
Our Finance segment continues to originate new customer relationships and finance receivables in the captive finance business,
which provides financing primarily for new Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters and, to a limited extent, for new E-Z-GO and
Jacobsen equipment. We also provide financing to purchasers of pre-owned Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters on a limited basis.
The majority of new finance receivables are cross-border transactions for aircraft sold outside of the United States. New
originations in the U.S. are primarily for purchasers who had difficulty in accessing other sources of financing for the purchase of
Textron-manufactured products.
In 2012, 2011 and 2010, our Finance group paid our Manufacturing group $309 million, $284 million and $416 million,
respectively, related to the sale of Textron-manufactured products to third parties that were financed by the Finance group. Our
Cessna and Industrial segments also received proceeds in those years of $19 million, $2 million and $10 million, respectively,
from the sale of equipment from their manufacturing operations to our Finance group for use under operating lease agreements.
The commercial finance business traditionally is extremely competitive. Our Finance segment is subject to competition from
various types of financing institutions, including banks, leasing companies, commercial finance companies and finance operations
of equipment vendors. Competition within the commercial finance industry primarily is focused on price, term, structure and
service.
Our Finance segment’s largest business risk is the collectability of its finance receivable portfolio. See “Finance Portfolio
Quality” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” on page 30 for a
discussion of the credit quality of this portfolio.

Approximately 56% of our total backlog at December 29, 2012 represents orders that are not expected to be filled in 2013. Orders
from Cessna customers, which cover a wide spectrum of industries and individuals worldwide, are included in backlog when the
customer enters into a definitive purchase agreement and the initial customer deposit is received. We work with our customers to
provide estimated delivery dates, which may be adjusted based on customer needs or our production schedule, but do not establish
definitive delivery dates until approximately six months before expected delivery. There is considerable uncertainty as to when or
whether backlog will convert to revenues as the conversion depends on production capacity, customer needs and credit
availability; these factors also may be impacted by the economy and public perceptions of private corporate jet usage. While
backlog is an indicator of future revenues, we cannot reasonably estimate the year each order in backlog ultimately will result in
revenues and cash flows. Orders remain in backlog until the aircraft is delivered or upon cancellation by the customer. Upon
cancellation, deposits are used to defray costs, including remarketing fees, cost to reconfigure the aircraft and other costs incurred
as a result of the cancellation. Remaining deposits, if any, may be retained or refunded at our discretion.
Backlog with the U.S. Government in the above table includes only funded amounts as the U.S. Government is obligated only up
to the amount of funding formally appropriated for a contract. Bell’s backlog includes $3.1 billion related to a multi-year
procurement contract with the U.S. Government for the purchase of V-22 tiltrotor aircraft.
U.S. Government Contracts
In 2012, approximately 29% of our consolidated revenues were generated by or resulted from contracts with the U.S. Government.
This business is subject to competition, changes in procurement policies and regulations, the continuing availability of funding,
which is dependent upon congressional appropriations, national and international priorities for defense spending, world events, and
the size and timing of programs in which we may participate.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government generally may be terminated by the U.S. Government for convenience or if we default in
whole or in part by failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract. If the U.S. Government terminates a contract for
convenience, we normally will be entitled to payment for the cost of contract work performed before the effective date of
termination, including, if applicable, reasonable profit on such work, as well as reasonable termination costs. If, however, the U.S.
Government terminates a contract for default, generally: (a) we will be paid the contract price for completed supplies delivered and
accepted and services rendered, an agreed-upon amount for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection
and preservation of property, and an amount for partially completed products accepted by the U.S. Government; (b) the U.S.
Government may not be liable for our costs with respect to unaccepted items and may be entitled to repayment of advance
payments and progress payments related to the terminated portions of the contract; (c) the U.S. Government may not be liable for
assets we own and utilize to provide services under the “fee-for-service” contracts; and (d) we may be liable for excess costs
incurred by the U.S. Government in procuring undelivered items from another source.
Research and Development
Information regarding our research and development expenditures is contained in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements
on page 54 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Patents and Trademarks
We own, or are licensed under, numerous patents throughout the world relating to products, services and methods of
manufacturing. Patents developed while under contract with the U.S. Government may be subject to use by the U.S. Government.
We also own or license active trademark registrations and pending trademark applications in the U.S. and in various foreign
countries or regions, as well as trade names and service marks. While our intellectual property rights in the aggregate are important
to the operation of our business, we do not believe that any existing patent, license, trademark or other intellectual property right is
of such importance that its loss or termination would have a material adverse effect on our business taken as a whole. Some of
these trademarks, trade names and service marks are used in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and other reports, including:

trademark designs and logotypes (and variations of the foregoing) are trademarks, trade names or service marks of Textron Inc., its
subsidiaries, affiliates or joint ventures.
Environmental Considerations
Our operations are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect the environment. Compliance with these laws and
expenditures for environmental control facilities has not had a material effect on our capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position. Additional information regarding environmental matters is contained in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements on page 79 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We do not believe that existing or pending climate change legislation, regulation, or international treaties or accords are reasonably
likely to have a material effect in the foreseeable future on our business or markets nor on our results of operations, capital
expenditures or financial position. We will continue to monitor emerging developments in this area.
Employees
At December 29, 2012, we had approximately 33,000 employees.

purchases of our products; and
• Continued demand softness or volatility in the markets in which we do business.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks, including those discussed below, which may
affect the value of our securities. The risks discussed below are those that we believe currently are the most significant to our
business.
We have customer concentration with the U.S. Government; reduction in U.S. Government defense spending may adversely
affect our results of operations and financial condition.
During 2012, we derived approximately 29% of our revenues from sales to a variety of U.S. Government entities. Our revenues
from the U.S. Government largely result from contracts awarded to us under various U.S. Government defense-related programs.
The funding of these programs is subject to congressional appropriation decisions. Although multiple-year contracts may be
planned in connection with major procurements, Congress generally appropriates funds on a fiscal year basis even though a
program may continue for several years. Consequently, programs often are only partially funded initially, and additional funds are
committed only as Congress makes further appropriations. If we incur costs in excess of funds committed on a contract, we are
more at risk for non-reimbursement of those costs until additional funds are appropriated. The reduction or termination of funding,
or changes in the timing of funding, for U.S. Government programs in which we currently provide, or propose to provide, products
or services would result in a reduction or loss of anticipated future revenues and could materially and adversely impact our results
of operations and financial condition. Significant changes in national and international priorities for defense spending could impact
the funding, or the timing of funding, of our programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial
condition.
Mounting pressure for U.S. Government deficit reduction and reduced national spending have created an environment where
national security spending is being closely examined. In August 2011, Congress passed the Budget Control Act of 2011 which
committed the U.S. Government to significantly reduce the federal deficit over ten years. Under this Act, very substantial
automatic spending cuts, known as “sequestration,” including approximately $600 billion in cuts to the U.S. defense budget over a
nine year period, are scheduled to be triggered beginning in 2013. In addition, the nation's debt ceiling is currently expected to be
reached during the first half of 2013. Congress and the Administration continue to debate how the nation should proceed on these
issues. The outcome of that debate could have a significant impact on future defense spending plans. As a result, long-term
funding for various programs in which we participate, as well as future purchasing decisions by our U.S. Government customers,
could be reduced, delayed or cancelled. In addition, these cuts could adversely affect the viability of the suppliers and
subcontractors under our programs.
There are many variables in how the sequester could be implemented that make it difficult to determine specific impacts; however,
we expect that sequestration, as currently provided for under the Budget Control Act, would result in lower revenues, profits and
cash flows for our company. Such circumstances may also result in an impairment of our goodwill and intangible assets. Because
our Government contracts generally require us to continue to perform even if the U.S. Government is unable to make timely
payments; if the debt ceiling is not raised, and, as a result, the U.S. Government does not pay us on a timely basis, we would need
to finance our continued performance of the impacted contracts from our available cash resources, credit facilities and/or access to
the capital markets, if available. An extended delay in the timely payment by the U.S. Government could result in a material
adverse effect on our cash flows, earnings and financial condition.
U.S. Government contracts may be terminated at any time and may contain other unfavorable provisions.
The U.S. Government typically can terminate or modify any of its contracts with us either for its convenience or if we default by
failing to perform under the terms of the applicable contract. In the event of termination for the U.S. Government’s convenience,
contractors are generally protected by provisions covering reimbursement for costs incurred on the contracts and profit on those
costs but not the anticipated profit that would have been earned had the contract been completed. A termination arising out of our
default for failure to perform could expose us to liability, including but not limited to, liability for re-procurement costs in excess
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 9
of the total original contract amount, net of the value of work performed and accepted by the customer under the contract. Such
an event could also have an adverse effect on our ability to compete for future contracts and orders. If any of our contracts are
terminated by the U.S. Government whether for convenience or default, our backlog and anticipated revenues would be reduced by
the expected value of the remaining work under such contracts. We also enter into “fee for service” contracts with the U.S.
Government where we retain ownership of, and consequently the risk of loss on, aircraft and equipment supplied to perform under
these contracts. Termination of these contracts for convenience or default could materially and adversely impact our results of
operations. On contracts for which we are teamed with others and are not the prime contractor, the U.S. Government could
terminate a prime contract under which we are a subcontractor, irrespective of the quality of our products and services as a
subcontractor. In addition, U.S. Government contracts generally require the contractor to continue to perform on a contract even if
the U.S. Government is unable to make timely payments; failure to continue contract performance places the contractor at risk of
termination for default. Any such event could result in a material adverse effect on our cash flows, results of operations and
financial condition.
As a U.S. Government contractor, we are subject to procurement rules and regulations as well as changes in the Department of
Defense (DoD) acquisition practices.
We must comply with and are affected by laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of U.S.
Government contracts. These laws and regulations, among other things, require certification and disclosure of all cost and pricing
data in connection with contract negotiation, define allowable and unallowable costs and otherwise govern our right to
reimbursement under certain cost-based U.S. Government contracts, and restrict the use and dissemination of classified
information and the exportation of certain products and technical data. Our U.S. Government contracts contain provisions that
allow the U.S. Government to unilaterally suspend or debar us from receiving new contracts for a period of time, reduce the value
of existing contracts, issue modifications to a contract, and control and potentially prohibit the export of our products, services and
associated materials. A number of our U.S. Government contracts contain provisions that require us to make disclosure to the
Inspector General of the agency that is our customer if we have credible evidence that we have violated U.S. criminal laws
involving fraud, conflict of interest, or bribery; the U.S. civil False Claims Act; or received a significant overpayment under a U.S.
Government contract. Failure to properly and timely disclose may result in a termination for default or cause, suspension and/or
debarment, and potential fines.
In 2010, the DoD issued guidance to its acquisition workforce to obtain greater efficiency and productivity in defense spending
through an initiative known as the “Better Buying Power Initiative.” The DoD has announced that an updated initiative, to be
known as “Better Buying Power 2.0” will be launched in early 2013. These efforts may significantly affect the contracting
environment in which we do business with our DoD customers and could have a significant impact on current programs, as well as
new business opportunities. Changes to the DoD acquisition system and contracting models could affect whether and, if so, how
we pursue certain opportunities and the terms under which we are able to do so.
As a U.S. Government contractor, our businesses and systems are subject to audit and review by the Defense Contract Audit
Agency (DCAA) and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA).
We operate in a highly regulated environment and are routinely audited and reviewed by the U.S. Government and its agencies
such as DCAA and DCMA. These agencies review our performance under our contracts, our cost structure and our compliance
with laws and regulations applicable to U.S. Government contractors. The systems that are subject to review include, but are not
limited to, our accounting, estimating, material management and accounting, earned value management, purchasing and
government property systems. If an audit uncovers improper or illegal activities we may be subject to civil and criminal penalties
and administrative sanctions that may include the termination of our contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments, fines,
and, under certain circumstances, suspension or debarment from future contracts for a period of time. Whether or not illegal
activities are alleged, the U.S. Government also has the ability to decrease or withhold certain payments when it deems systems
subject to its review to be inadequate. These laws and regulations affect how we conduct business with our customers and, in
some instances, impose added costs on our business.
Cost overruns on U.S. Government contracts could subject us to losses or adversely affect our future business.
Under fixed-price contracts, as a general rule, we receive a fixed price irrespective of the actual costs we incur, and, consequently,
any costs in excess of the fixed price are absorbed by us. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates used in
developing the pricing for such contracts may adversely affect our results of operations. Under time and materials contracts, we are
paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for certain expenses. Under cost-reimbursement contracts, which are subject to
a contract-ceiling amount, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and paid a fee, which may be fixed or performance based.
However, if our costs exceed the contract ceiling or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or applicable
regulations, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for all such costs. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control
costs we incur in performing under the contract, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Cost
overruns also may adversely affect our ability to sustain existing programs and obtain future contract awards.
10 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Weak demand for our aircraft products may continue to adversely affect our financial results.
As a result of the continued worldwide economic softness, we have experienced continued weak demand for our fixed-wing
aircraft, particularly our business jets. Soft demand for new and pre-owned jets could persist and could continue to adversely
impact the pricing of new jets and the valuation of pre-owned jets. We have accepted a higher proportion of trade-ins of pre-owned
jets in order to sell new jets, and we are winding down our fractional business jet ownership business. These two factors have
increased our inventory of pre-owned jets.
Concerns regarding the financial stability of certain Eurozone countries, the overall stability of the euro and the suitability of the
euro as a single currency may have an adverse impact on financial institutions and capital markets in Europe and globally which
could impede the ability of our customers to obtain financing to purchase our jets and helicopters and further reduce demand for
our products. In addition, both U.S. and foreign governments and government agencies regulate the aviation industry; they may
impose new regulations with additional aircraft security or other requirements or restrictions, including, for example, restrictions
and/or fees related to carbon emissions levels that may adversely impact demand for jets and/or helicopters. A prolonged weakness
in the markets for our commercial aircraft products could adversely impact our results of operations and our future prospects.
Difficult economic conditions could continue to affect the performance of our Finance segment and our losses may increase if
we are unable to successfully collect our finance receivables or realize sufficient value from collateral.
The financial performance of our Finance segment depends on the quality of loans, leases and other assets in its finance asset
portfolios. Portfolio quality may be adversely affected by several factors, including finance receivable underwriting procedures,
collateral value, geographic or industry concentrations, and the effect of general economic conditions on our customers’
businesses. The performance of our liquidating non-captive finance receivable portfolios may be adversely affected by other
variables, including changes in our liquidation strategy and changes in external factors affecting the value and/or marketability of
our assets. Valuations of the types of collateral securing our captive finance portfolio, particularly valuations of pre-owned aircraft,
have decreased over the past several years and may continue to decrease if weak economic conditions continue. Declining
collateral values could result in greater delinquencies, credit losses and foreclosures if customers elect to discontinue payments on
loan balances that exceed asset values or, in the case of assets in our liquidating portfolios, if they are unable to obtain alternative
sources of financing at loan maturity. Bankruptcy proceedings involving our borrowers may prevent or delay our ability to
exercise our rights and remedies and realize the full value of our collateral. Significant delay or difficulty in executing the
continued liquidation of our liquidating portfolios and/or substantial losses in any of our finance asset portfolios could negatively
impact the ability of our Finance segment to generate the cash necessary to service its debt, resulting in adverse effects on our cash
flow, profitability and financial condition.
We may need to obtain financing in the future; such financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms, if at all.
We may periodically need to obtain financing in order to meet our debt obligations as they come due and/or to support our
operations. Although we currently have access to the capital markets, our access and the cost of borrowings, is affected by a
number of factors including market conditions and the strength of our credit ratings. If we cannot obtain adequate sources of credit
on favorable terms, or at all, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Our ability to fund our captive financing activities at economically competitive levels depends on our ability to borrow and the
cost of borrowing in the credit markets.
Our Finance segment’s ability to continue to offer customer financing for the products that we manufacture, and the long-term
viability and profitability of the captive finance business, is largely dependent on our ability to obtain funding and at a reasonable
cost both of which are dependent on a number of factors including market conditions and our credit ratings. If we are unable to
continue to offer customer financing or if we are unable to offer competitive customer financing, it could negatively impact our
Manufacturing group’s ability to generate sales, which could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Failure to perform by our subcontractors or suppliers could adversely affect our performance.
We rely on other companies to provide raw materials, major components and subsystems for our products. Subcontractors also
perform services that we provide to our customers in certain circumstances. We depend on these suppliers and subcontractors to
meet our contractual obligations to our customers and conduct our operations.
Our ability to meet our obligations to our customers may be adversely affected if suppliers or subcontractors do not provide the
agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services in compliance with customer requirements and in a timely and cost-
effective manner. Likewise, the quality of our products may be adversely impacted if companies to whom we delegate
manufacture of major components or subsystems for our products, or from whom we acquire such items, do not provide
components or subsystems which meet required specifications and perform to our and our customers’ expectations. Our suppliers
may be less likely than us to be able to quickly recover from natural disasters and other events beyond their control and may be
subject to additional risks such as financial problems that limit their ability to conduct their operations. The risk of these adverse
effects may be greater in circumstances where we rely on only one or two subcontractors or suppliers for a particular raw material,
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 11
product or service. In particular, in the aircraft industry, most vendor parts are certified by the regulatory agencies as part of the
overall Type Certificate for the aircraft being produced by the manufacturer. If a vendor does not or cannot supply its parts, then
the manufacturer’s production line may be stopped until the manufacturer can design, manufacture and certify a similar part itself
or identify and certify another similar vendor’s part, resulting in significant delays in the completion of aircraft. Such events may
adversely affect our financial results, damage our reputation and relationships with our customers, and result in regulatory actions
and/or litigation.
Our business could be negatively impacted by information technology security threats and other disruptions.
As a U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our information technology infrastructure,
unlawful attempts to gain access to our proprietary or classified information and threats to the physical security of our facilities and
employees, as do our customers, suppliers, subcontractors and joint venture partners. Our information technology networks and
related systems are critical to the smooth operation of our business and essential to our ability to perform day to day operations.
Cybersecurity threats, such as malicious software, attempts to gain unauthorized access to information, and other security
breaches, are persistent, continue to evolve and require highly skilled IT resources. An information technology system failure or
breach of data security could disrupt our operations, cause the loss of business information or the compromise of confidential
information and require significant management attention and resources. The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity
incident include reputational damage, litigation with third parties, diminution in the value of our investment in research,
development and engineering and increased cybersecurity protection and remediation costs, which in turn could adversely affect
our competitiveness and our results of operations. In addition, we outsource certain support functions, including certain global
information technology infrastructure services, to third-party service providers. Any disruption of such outsourced processes or
functions also could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.
Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties.
To continue to grow our revenues and segment profit, we must successfully develop new products and technologies or modify our
existing products and technologies for our current and future markets. Our future performance depends, in part, on our ability to
identify emerging technological trends and customer requirements in our current and future markets and to develop and maintain
competitive products and services. Delays or cost overruns in the development and acceptance of new products, or certification of
new aircraft and other products, could affect our results of operations. These delays could be caused by unanticipated technological
hurdles, production changes to meet customer demands, unanticipated difficulties in obtaining required regulatory certifications of
new aircraft or other products, coordination with joint venture partners or failure on the part of our suppliers to deliver components
as agreed. Changes in environmental laws and regulations, for example, those enacted in response to climate change concerns and
other actions known as “green initiatives,” could lead to the necessity for new or additional investment in product designs or
manufacturing processes and could increase environmental compliance expenditures, including costs to defend regulatory reviews.
We also could be adversely affected if the general efficacy of our research and development investments to develop products is
less than expected or if we do not adequately protect the intellectual property developed through our research and development
efforts. Likewise, new products and technologies could generate unanticipated safety or other concerns resulting in expanded
product liability risks, potential product recalls and other regulatory issues that could have an adverse impact on us. Furthermore,
because of the lengthy research and development cycle involved in bringing certain of our products to market, we cannot predict
the economic conditions that will exist when any new product is complete. A reduction in capital spending in the aerospace or
defense industries could have a significant effect on the demand for new products and technologies under development, which
could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the market for our product offerings
may not develop or continue to expand as we currently anticipate. Furthermore, we cannot be sure that our competitors will not
develop competing technologies which gain market acceptance in advance of our products. A significant failure in our new
product development efforts or the failure of our products or services to achieve market acceptance more rapidly than our
competitors could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to the risks of doing business in foreign countries.
Our international business, including U.S. exports, exposes us to potentially greater risks than our domestic business. Our exposure
to such risks increases as our international business continues to grow. Our international business is subject to U.S. and local
government regulations and procurement policies and practices, which may change from time to time, including regulations
relating to import-export control; environmental, health and safety; investments; exchange controls; and repatriation of earnings or
cash settlement challenges, as well as to varying currency, geopolitical and economic risks. These international risks may be
especially significant with respect to aerospace and defense products for which we sometimes first must obtain licenses and
authorizations from various U.S. Government agencies before we are permitted to sell our products outside the U.S. Any
significant impairment of our ability to sell products outside the U.S. could negatively impact our results of operations.
Additionally, some international government customers require contractors to agree to specific in-country purchases,
manufacturing agreements or financial support arrangements, known as offsets, as a condition for a contract award. The contracts
12 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
generally extend over several years and may include penalties if we fail to meet the offset requirements, which could adversely
impact our results of operations. Additionally, we are facing increasing competition in our international markets from foreign and
multinational firms that may have certain home country advantages over us; as a result, our ability to compete successfully in those
markets may be adversely affected, which could negatively impact our revenues and profitability.
We maintain manufacturing facilities, service centers, supply centers and other facilities worldwide, including in various emerging
market countries. We also have entered into, and expect to continue to enter into, joint venture arrangements in emerging market
countries, some of which may require capital investment, guaranties or other commitments. We expect that our investment in
emerging market countries will continue to increase. Emerging market operations can present many risks in addition to those
discussed above, including civil disturbances, economic and government instability, terrorism and related safety concerns, cultural
differences in employment and business practices, difficulties in protecting intellectual property, and the imposition of exchange
controls. The impact of any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition or
operating results.
We also are exposed to risks associated with using foreign representatives and consultants for international sales and operations
and teaming with international subcontractors and suppliers in connection with international programs. In many foreign countries,
particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and
regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we implement policies and procedures designed
to facilitate compliance with these laws, a violation of such laws by any of our international representatives, consultants, joint
ventures, business partners, subcontractors or suppliers, even if prohibited by our policies, could have an adverse effect on our
business and reputation.
We are subject to increasing compliance risks that could adversely affect our operating results.
As a global business, we are subject to laws and regulations in the U.S. and other countries in which we operate. Our increased
focus on international sales and global operations requires importing and exporting goods and technology, some of which have
military applications subjecting them to more stringent import-export controls across international borders on a regular basis. Both
U.S. and foreign laws and regulations applicable to us have been increasing in scope and complexity. For example, we could be
affected by U.S. or foreign laws or regulations imposed in response to climate change concerns. Likewise, pursuant to the
requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act and recently enacted Securities and Exchange Commission rules, we will be required to
report on our use of “conflict minerals” originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo and surrounding countries.
Compliance with these rules is expected to be time-consuming and costly and also could affect the cost and availability of minerals
used to manufacture certain of our products. Compliance with new or changing laws and regulations or related interpretation and
policies could increase our costs of doing business, affect how we conduct our operations and limit our ability to sell our products
and services. Compliance with laws and regulations of increasing scope and complexity is even more challenging in our current
business environment in which reducing our operating costs is often necessary to remain competitive. In addition, a violation of
U.S. and/or foreign laws by one of our employees or business partners could subject us or our employees to civil or criminal
penalties, including material monetary fines, or other adverse actions, including denial of import or export privileges and
debarment as a government contractor. These improper actions could damage our reputation and have an adverse effect on our
business.
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims.
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims
relating to commercial and financial transactions; government contracts; alleged lack of compliance with applicable laws and
regulations; production partners; product liability; patent and trademark infringement; employment disputes; and environmental,
safety and health matters. Due to the nature of our manufacturing business, we may be subject to liability claims arising from
accidents involving our products, including claims for serious personal injuries or death caused by weather or by pilot, driver or
user error. In the case of litigation matters for which reserves have not been established because the loss is not deemed probable, it
is reasonably possible that such claims could be decided against us and could require us to pay damages or make other
expenditures in amounts that are not presently estimable. In addition, we cannot be certain that our reserves are adequate and that
our insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover one or more substantial claims. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain
insurance coverage at acceptable levels and costs in the future. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and we could incur
judgments, receive adverse arbitration awards or enter into settlements for current or future claims that could adversely affect our
financial position or our results of operations in any particular period.
Intellectual property infringement claims of others and the inability to protect our intellectual property rights could harm our
business and our customers.
Intellectual property infringement claims may be asserted by third parties against us or our customers. Any related indemnification
payments or legal costs we may be obliged to pay on behalf of our businesses, our customers or other third parties could be costly.
In addition, we own the rights to many patents, trademarks, brand names, trade names and trade secrets that are important to our
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 13
business. The inability to enforce these intellectual property rights may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Additionally, our intellectual property could be at risk due to various cyber threats.
Certain of our products are subject to laws regulating consumer products and could be subject to repurchase or recall as a
result of safety issues.
As a distributor of consumer products in the U.S., certain of our products also are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act,
which empowers the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to exclude from the market products that are found to be
unsafe or hazardous. Under certain circumstances, the CPSC could require us to repair, replace or refund the purchase price of one
or more of our products, or potentially even discontinue entire product lines, or we may voluntarily do so, but within strictures
recommended by the CPSC. The CPSC also can impose fines or penalties on a manufacturer for non-compliance with its
requirements. Furthermore, failure to timely notify the CPSC of a potential safety hazard can result in significant fines being
assessed against us. Any repurchases or recalls of our products or an imposition of fines or penalties could be costly to us and
could damage the reputation or the value of our brands. Additionally, laws regulating certain consumer products exist in some
states, as well as in other countries in which we sell our products, and more restrictive laws and regulations may be adopted in the
future.
The increasing costs of certain employee and retiree benefits could adversely affect our results.
Our earnings and cash flow may be adversely impacted by the amount of income or expense we expend or record for employee
benefit plans. This is particularly true for our defined benefit pension plans, where required contributions to those plans and related
expenses are driven by, among other things, our assumptions of the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, the discount
rate used for future payment obligations and the rates of future cost growth. Additionally, as part of our annual evaluation of these
plans, significant changes in our assumptions, due to changes in economic, legislative and/or demographic experience or
circumstances, or changes in our actual investment returns could negatively impact the funded status of our plans requiring us to
substantially increase our pension liability with a resulting decrease in shareholders’ equity. Changes in the funded status of
defined benefit pension plans are recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the year in which they occur. Also, changes
in pension legislation and regulations could increase the cost associated with our defined benefit pension plans.
In addition, medical costs are rising at a rate faster than the general inflation rate. Continued medical cost inflation in excess of the
general inflation rate would increase the risk that we will not be able to mitigate the rising costs of medical benefits. Moreover, we
expect that some of the requirements of the new comprehensive healthcare law will increase our future costs. Increases to the costs
of pension and medical benefits could have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our business could be adversely affected by strikes or work stoppages and other labor issues.
Approximately 6,400 of our U.S. employees, or 26% of our total U.S. employees, are unionized, and approximately 2,800 of our
non-U.S. employees, or 33% of our total non-U.S. employees, are represented by organized councils. As a result, we may
experience work stoppages, which could negatively impact our ability to manufacture our products on a timely basis, resulting in
strain on our relationships with our customers and a loss of revenues. The presence of unions also may limit our flexibility in
responding to competitive pressures in the marketplace. In addition, the workforces of many of our suppliers and customers are
represented by labor unions. Work stoppages or strikes at the plants of our key suppliers could disrupt our manufacturing
processes; similar actions at the plants of our customers could result in delayed or canceled orders for our products. Any of these
events could adversely affect our results of operations.
Currency, raw material price and interest rate fluctuations may adversely affect our results.
We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, raw material
prices and interest rates. In particular, the uncertainty with respect to the ability of certain European countries to continue to
service their sovereign debt obligations and the related European financial restructuring efforts may cause the value of the euro to
fluctuate. Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. For example,
in the event that one or more European countries were to replace the euro with another currency, our sales into such countries, or
into Europe generally, would likely be adversely affected until stable exchange rates are established. Accordingly, fluctuations in
foreign currency rates could adversely affect our profitability in future periods. We monitor and manage these exposures as an
integral part of our overall risk management program. In some cases, we purchase derivatives or enter into contracts to insulate our
results of operations from these fluctuations. Nevertheless, changes in currency exchange rates, raw material prices and interest
rates can have substantial adverse effects on our results of operations.
We may be unable to effectively mitigate pricing pressures.
In some markets, particularly where we deliver component products and services to original equipment manufacturers, we face
ongoing customer demands for price reductions, which sometimes are contractually obligated. However, if we are unable to
effectively mitigate future pricing pressures through technological advances or by lowering our cost base through improved
operating and supply chain efficiencies, our results of operations could be adversely affected.
14 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Unanticipated changes in our tax rates or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.
We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and various non-U.S. jurisdictions, and our domestic and international tax
liabilities are subject to the allocation of income among these different jurisdictions. Our effective tax rate could be adversely
affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax
assets and liabilities, changes to unrecognized tax benefits or changes in tax laws, which could affect our profitability. In
particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income, as well as
changes to applicable statutory tax rates. In addition, the amount of income taxes we pay is subject to audits in various
jurisdictions, and a material assessment by a tax authority could affect our profitability.

Item 2. Properties
On December 29, 2012, we operated a total of 61 plants located throughout the U.S. and 50 plants outside the U.S. We own 54
plants and lease the remainder for a total manufacturing space of approximately 20.9 million square feet. We consider the
productive capacity of the plants operated by each of our business segments to be adequate. We also own or lease offices,
warehouses, service centers and other space at various locations. In general, our facilities are in good condition, are considered to
be adequate for the uses to which they are being put and are substantially in regular use.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2010, on August 21, 2009, a
purported class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court in Rhode Island by Dianne Leach, an alleged participant
in the Textron Savings Plan. Six additional substantially similar class action lawsuits were subsequently filed by other individuals.
The complaints varyingly name Textron and certain present and former employees, officers and directors as defendants. These
lawsuits alleged that the defendants violated the United States Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by imprudently
permitting participants in the Textron Savings Plan to invest in Textron common stock. The complaints sought equitable relief and
unspecified compensatory damages. On February 2, 2010, an amended class action complaint was filed consolidating the seven
previous lawsuits into a single complaint. On March 19, 2010, all defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated amended
complaint, and on September 6, 2011, the Court granted the motion to dismiss in part and denied the motion in part. Specifically,
the Court ruled that plaintiffs failed to plead sufficient allegations to support any claim that defendants made material
misrepresentations that would be actionable under ERISA, but permitted the remainder of the Amended Complaint to survive the
pleadings stage. On September 20, 2011, all defendants moved for partial reconsideration of the Court’s decision not to dismiss the
Amended Complaint. On December 5, 2011, the Court denied the motion for partial reconsideration without rendering a decision
on the merits of the issues raised therein. On December 13, 2012, as a result of a mediation process overseen by an independent
mediator, the parties reached an agreement in principle, subject to settlement documentation and court approval, to settle the
plaintiffs’ claims for an immaterial amount. Because this is a class action, settlements of this type are subject to preliminary and
final review by the Court with an opportunity for class members to respond to the proposed settlement and object if they so desire.
Neither Textron nor any of the other defendants in the settlement admitted any wrongdoing with respect to the allegations in the
case.
As previously reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, 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 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 alleged 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 sought avoidance and recovery of alleged fraudulent transfers in the
amount of $316 million, as well as damages of $223 million on the other claims. The Trustee also sought trebled damages on all
claims under Ohio law. TFC moved to dismiss all claims in the complaint, and on November 9, 2012, the court granted TFC’s
motion to dismiss in its entirety and dismissed TFC from the lawsuit.
We also are subject to other actual and threatened legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business.
These proceedings include claims relating to commercial and financial transactions; government contracts; alleged lack of
compliance with applicable laws and regulations; production partners; product liability; patent and trademark infringement;
employment disputes; and environmental, health and safety matters. Some of these legal proceedings seek damages, fines or
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 15
penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. Under federal government procurement
regulations, certain claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our suspension or debarment from U.S. Government
contracting for a period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and
claims will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(a) For 2011, segment profit included a $186 million initial mark-to-market adjustment for finance receivables in the Golf Mortgage portfolio
that were transferred to the held for sale classification.
(b) Special charges include restructuring charges of $99 million, $237 million and $64 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively, primarily
related to severance and asset impairment charges. In 2010, special charges also include a $91 million non-cash pre-tax charge to
reclassify a foreign exchange loss from equity to the income statement as a result of substantially liquidating a Finance segment entity. In
2009, special charges include a goodwill impairment charge of $80 million in the Industrial segment. In 2008, special charges include
charges related to strategic actions taken in the Finance segment to exit portions of the commercial finance business, including an
impairment charge of $169 million for unrecoverable goodwill and the initial valuation allowance adjustment of $293 million related to the
designation of a portion of finance receivables as held for sale.
(c) For 2009, the potential dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units and the shares that could be issued upon the conversion of our
convertibles notes and upon the exercise of the related warrants was excluded from the computation of diluted weighted-average shares
outstanding as the shares would have an anti-dilutive effect on the loss from continuing operations.

Revenues
Revenues increased $962 million, 9%, in 2012, compared with 2011, as increases in the Bell, Cessna, Industrial and Finance
segments were partially offset by a reduction in the Textron Systems segment. The net revenue increase included the following
factors:
• Higher Bell revenues of $749 million, primarily due to higher commercial aircraft volume of $476 million and an increase
in V-22 program volume of $231 million, largely due to higher deliveries.
• Higher Cessna revenues of $121 million, primarily due to higher pre-owned aircraft volume of $68 million and Citation
•
jet revenues of $57 million, reflecting a change in mix of jets sold during the period.
Increased Industrial segment revenues of $115 million, primarily due to higher volume of $171 million, primarily
reflecting higher market demand in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components and Golf, Turf Care and Light
Transportation Vehicles product lines, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $80 million,
primarily related to the weakening of the euro.
• Higher Finance revenues of $112 million as described more fully in the Segment Analysis below.
• Lower Textron Systems revenues of $135 million, primarily due to lower volume across all product lines.
Revenues increased $750 million, 7%, in 2011, compared with 2010, primarily due to an 8% increase in Manufacturing revenues
with increases in the Cessna, Bell, and Industrial segments that were partially offset by lower revenues in the Textron Systems
segment. The net revenue increase included the following factors:
• Higher Cessna revenues of $427 million, primarily due to higher volume, largely due to the impact of higher Citation jet
volume and the mix of light- and mid-size jets sold during the period.
• Higher Bell revenues of $284 million, largely due to higher volume in our military programs, which included more
•
deliveries of V-22 and H-1 aircraft.
Increased Industrial segment revenues of $261 million, primarily due to higher volume of $138 million, mostly reflecting
higher automotive industry demand, and a favorable foreign exchange impact of $77 million, largely related to
strengthening of the euro.
• Lower revenues at the Finance segment of $115 million, primarily attributable to the lower average finance receivable
portfolio balance resulting from continued liquidation.
• Lower Textron Systems revenues of $107 million, primarily due to $140 million in lower volume in the UAS and Mission
Support and Other product lines, partially offset by higher volume in the Land & Marine and Weapons and Sensors
product lines of $28 million.

Manufacturing cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses together comprise our operating expenses. Changes in
operating expenses are more fully discussed in our Segment Analysis below.
Cost of sales as a percentage of manufacturing revenues was 83.3% in both 2012 and 2011, and 83.5% in 2010.
Consolidated manufacturing cost of sales increased $711 million, 8%, in 2012, compared with 2011, principally due to higher net
sales volume. Cost of sales was reduced by $65 million in 2012 from foreign exchange fluctuations, primarily in the Industrial
segment due to the weakening of the euro. In addition, cost of sales included $37 million in charges related to our new UAS fee-
for-service contracts at Textron Systems, which were offset by the impact of 2011 charges at Textron Systems of $60 million
related to the impairment of intangible assets and severance costs. Selling and administrative expense decreased $15 million, 1%,
to $1,168 million in 2012, compared with 2011. The decrease was largely driven by lower operating expenses of $56 million at
the Finance segment primarily associated with the exit of the non-captive business, partially offset by a $27 million charge at Cessna from
an unfavorable arbitration award described more fully in the Segment Analysis below.
Consolidated manufacturing cost of sales increased $703 million, 8%, in 2011, compared with 2010, principally due to higher sales
volume in the Cessna, Bell and Industrial segments. In 2011, gross margin increased as a percentage of revenues primarily due to
favorable product mix and improved leverage and manufacturing efficiencies on higher volume at Cessna and Bell. These
improvements were partially offset by a $64 million increase in engineering and development expenses throughout our
manufacturing businesses and $60 million in charges at Textron Systems related to the impairment of certain intangible assets and
severance costs. In 2011, selling and administrative expense decreased $48 million, 4%, to $1.2 billion, compared with 2010,
primarily due to $44 million in lower operating expense at the Finance segment, largely reflecting progress towards our exit from
the non-captive commercial finance business, and a $23 million decrease in corporate expense, primarily due to the impact of
changes in our stock price on compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset by higher bid and proposal costs at
Textron Systems in 2011.

Interest expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations includes interest for both the Finance and Manufacturing borrowing
groups with interest related to intercompany borrowings eliminated. Interest expense for the Finance segment is included within
segment profit and includes intercompany interest.
Consolidated interest expense decreased $34 million, 14%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to lower average debt
outstanding. In 2011, consolidated interest expense decreased $24 million, 9%, compared with 2010, primarily due to a decrease
in the Finance group, largely due to the reduction in its debt from liquidations in the non-captive portfolio.
Valuation Allowance on Transfer of Golf Mortgage Portfolio to Held for Sale
In the fourth quarter of 2011, we determined that we no longer had the intent to hold the remaining Golf Mortgage portfolio for
investment for the foreseeable future, and, accordingly, transferred $458 million of the remaining Golf Mortgage finance
receivables, net of an $80 million allowance for loan losses, from the held for investment classification to the held for sale
classification. These finance receivables were recorded at fair value at the time of the transfer, resulting in a $186 million charge
recorded to Valuation allowance on transfer of Golf Mortgage portfolio to held for sale.
20 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Special Charges
There were no amounts recorded within special charges in 2012 and 2011. In 2010, special charges included restructuring charges
totaling $99 million, including $76 million of severance costs. These charges were related to a global restructuring program
initiated in the fourth quarter of 2008 to reduce overhead costs and improve productivity across the company and included the
announcement of the exit of portions of our commercial finance business. This restructuring program was substantially completed
at the end of 2011. In 2010, special charges also included a $91 million non-cash pre-tax charge to reclassify a foreign exchange
loss from equity to the Statement of Operations as a result of substantially liquidating a Canadian Finance entity.
Other Losses, net
In 2011, other losses, net included $55 million in losses on the early extinguishment of a portion of our convertible notes which
was largely offset by a $52 million gain from the collection on notes receivable in connection with the disposition of the Fluid &
Power business in 2008 as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Our effective rate was 30.9% in 2012, 28.1% in 2011 and (6.4)% in 2010, and generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate
of 35% due to certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world. The jurisdictions with
favorable tax rates that have the most significant effective rate impact in the periods presented include primarily Canada, Belgium
and China. We have not provided for U.S. taxes for those earnings because we plan to reinvest all of those earnings indefinitely
outside of the United States. Our effective rate will fluctuate based on the mix of earnings from our U.S. and foreign operations.
For a full reconciliation of our effective rate to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% see Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
Subsequent to year end, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 was enacted on January 2, 2013 to retroactively reinstate and
extend the Federal Research and Development Tax Credit from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2013. As a result, our income
tax provision in the first quarter of 2013 will include a discrete tax benefit that will reduce the annual effective tax rate by
approximately one percent.
Segment Analysis
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Cessna, 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 excludes special charges and includes interest income and expense along with
intercompany interest expense.
In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenue 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 revenue 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. Acquisitions refer to the results generated from businesses that were acquired within the previous
12 months. 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. Cost 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 29% of our revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government in 2012. 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 discussed 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.

Cessna delivered 181 Citation jets in 2012, compared with 183 jets in 2011, however revenues increased $121 million, 4%, in
2012, compared with 2011. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $68 million impact from higher pre-owned aircraft
volume and $57 million of higher Citation jet revenues reflecting a change in mix of new jets sold during the period. During 2012,
the portion of Cessna’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 25% of Cessna’s revenues, compared
with 24% in the corresponding period of 2011.
Cessna’s operating expenses increased by $99 million, 3%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to the following:

•
•
$93 million in higher direct material costs, resulting from increased pre-owned aircraft sales volume and a change in the
mix of jets sold during the period.
$35 million in cost inflation, largely reflecting a $22 million favorable benefit recorded in 2011 related to the last-in, first-
out (LIFO) method of accounting for inventories.
$27 million charge from an unfavorable arbitration award described below.
These increases were partially offset by $33 million cost reductions from improved factory efficiency and $24 million in lower
engineering and development expenses.
On November 16, 2012, in an arbitration proceeding initiated by Avcorp Industries, Inc. against Cessna, an arbitral panel entered
an award against Cessna in the amount of $27 million. The dispute related to an alleged breach of a supply agreement under which
Avcorp made various components for Cessna aircraft. Although we are vigorously contesting this award, we recorded a charge of
$27 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

Cessna’s revenues increased $427 million, 17%, in 2011, compared with 2010, primarily due to higher Citation jet volume and the
mix of light- and mid-size jets sold during the period, which had a $262 million impact, higher pre-owned aircraft volume of $76
million reflecting improved market demand and higher aftermarket volume of $62 million, in part due to continued investment in
additional service offerings. We delivered 183 Citation jets in 2011, compared with 179 jets in 2010. During 2011, the portion of
Cessna’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 24% of Cessna’s revenues, compared with 26% in the
corresponding period of 2010.
22 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Cessna’s operating expenses increased by $338 million, 13%, in 2011, compared with 2010, principally due to higher sales
volume, which resulted in a $271 million increase in direct material costs and a $27 million increase in manufacturing overhead.
Operating expenses also increased due to higher engineering and development expenses of $28 million, primarily due to new
product development. Cost inflation was offset by a $45 million favorable benefit related to the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method
of accounting for inventories. In 2011, Cessna had a LIFO benefit of $22 million resulting from operational improvements that led
to a reduction in inventory levels, compared with expense of $23 million in 2010.

Revenues at Textron Systems decreased $135 million, 7%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to lower volume reflecting
the following changes:
• Lower Land & Marine volume of $76 million, primarily related to lower deliveries based on current contract
requirements.
• Lower Mission Support and Other product line volume of $45 million, primarily due to the completion of certain
contracts in 2011 and the timing of test and training revenues.
• Lower Weapons and Sensors volume of $13 million, primarily due to the completion of several contracts in 2011,
partially offset by higher international Sensor Fuzed Weapon volume of $67 million.
Textron Systems’ operating expenses decreased $126 million, 7%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to the lower
volume. Operating expenses for 2012 included $37 million in charges discussed below related to our new UAS fee-for-service
contracts, which were offset by the impact of charges at Textron Systems of $60 million during 2011, related to the impairment of
intangible assets and severance costs.
In 2012, we were awarded two indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contracts with separate U.S. Government customers
for UAS fee-for-service activities. In the third quarter of 2012, we experienced start-up issues as we began deployment for the
first of these contracts, the MEUAS II program, which required us to augment training procedures, add resources and adjust certain
estimated costs. At that time, we took an $18 million charge reflecting our estimated loss on the awarded task orders under both
contracts based on our deployment experience, which resulted in changes to certain assumptions, and also reflected higher
subcontractor, up-front training and program management costs to support the ramp-up. In the fourth quarter of 2012, we
experienced propulsion performance issues with our systems, and as a result, we were not able to perform within our previous cost
estimates. Based on the issues we have encountered, we increased our estimate of the costs to complete the awarded task orders
under both contracts through completion of those orders and recorded a $19 million unfavorable program profit adjustment in the
fourth quarter of 2012. Our current financial guidance and backlog do not reflect additional task orders under the MEUAS II IDIQ
contract after the current active orders conclude in April 2013.

Industrial segment revenues increased $115 million, 4%, in 2012, compared with 2011. Higher volume resulted from a $93
million increase in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, reflecting higher automotive industry demand in
North America, and a $78 million increase in the Other Industrial product lines, largely related to higher market demand in the
Golf, Turf Care and Light Transportation Vehicles product line. The unfavorable foreign exchange impact was mostly related to
the weakening of the euro, which primarily impacted the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line.
Operating expenses for the Industrial segment increased $102 million, 4%, in 2012, compared with 2011, largely due to $130
million in higher direct material costs in support of higher sales volume. In 2012, operating expenses were also impacted by cost
inflation of $44 million, primarily due to higher material and overhead costs, partially offset by lower costs due to a favorable
foreign exchange impact of $70 million resulting from the weakening of the euro.

Our plan to exit the non-captive commercial finance business of our Finance segment has been effected through a combination of
orderly liquidation and selected sales. We expect to liquidate the majority of the remaining $370 million of finance receivables in
the non-captive portfolio over the next two years.
Finance Revenues
Finance segment revenues increased $112 million in 2012 compared with 2011, primarily attributable to the following factors:
•
•
•
$90 million increase related to the valuation of Golf Mortgage finance receivables held for sale. In 2012, we had $76
million in favorable valuation adjustments compared with unfavorable valuation adjustments of $14 million in 2011.
$42 million of lower portfolio losses, net of gains, primarily associated with the Structured Capital and Timeshare
portfolios.
$25 million increase due to the resolution of one significant Timeshare account that returned to accrual status and was
subsequently paid off during the third quarter of 2012.
• These increases were partially offset by a $61 million decrease attributable to lower average finance receivables of $1.2
billion.
Finance segment revenues decreased $115 million in 2011 compared with 2010, primarily attributable to the impact of a $1.8
billion lower average finance receivable balance.
Finance Segment Profit (Loss)
Finance segment profit increased $397 million in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to changes in valuation adjustments,
lower portfolio losses, net of gains, and the resolution of one significant Timeshare account discussed above, as well as lower
administrative expense of $56 million, primarily associated with the exit of the non-captive business. In addition, we recorded a
$186 million valuation allowance on the transfer of the Golf Mortgage portfolio from held for investment to the held for sale
classification during the fourth quarter of 2011. These increases were partially offset by a $27 million decrease in net interest
margin attributable to lower average finance receivables.
Finance segment loss increased $96 million in 2011 compared with 2010, primarily due to the $186 million valuation allowance
recorded on the transfer of the remaining Golf Mortgage portfolio from held for investment to the held for sale classification
during the fourth quarter of 2011 and a $61 million reduction in interest margin resulting from the lower average finance
receivable balance. These increases were partially offset by $131 million in lower provision for loan losses, primarily the result of
a decline in new troubled accounts in the non-captive portfolio during 2011 and a $36 million reversal of the allowance for losses
related to one significant account. In addition, administrative expense declined by $44 million primarily due to lower
compensation expense associated with a workforce reduction and other cost reductions related to the exit of the non-captive
business.

Finance receivables held for sale are reflected at the lower of cost or fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are not
included in the credit performance statistics above. Finance receivables held for sale in the non-captive portfolio totaled $140
million at the end of 2012, compared with $418 million at the end of 2011.
Nonaccrual finance receivables decreased $178 million, 55%, from 2011, primarily due to reductions of $129 million in the
Timeshare portfolio and $38 million in the Captive portfolio. The decrease in the Timeshare portfolio was primarily due to the
liquidation of one significant account. The Captive portfolio decreased mostly due to repossession of collateral and cash
collections, partially offset by new accounts identified as nonaccrual in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc.
consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments. The
Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of TFC, its consolidated subsidiaries and three other finance
subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.
Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our
Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities,
investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance. To support those evaluations,
we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

We believe 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 with our existing cash and equivalents, along with the cash we expect to
generate from our manufacturing operations, we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs.

and shares of common stock in satisfaction of our obligations upon conversion of the convertible notes. We intend to settle the
face value of the convertible notes in cash.

We generated $958 million in cash from operating activities in 2012 on $1.1 billion in Manufacturing group segment profit and
$534 million of Manufacturing group net income. The 26% increase in cash flows from operating activities from 2011 was largely
due to lower cash contributions made to our pension plans in 2012. Within working capital, we had a $117 million reduction in
cash resulting from an increase in pre-owned inventory in the Cessna segment primarily due to higher trade-in activities, which
was largely offset by a reduction in net taxes paid. We made pension contributions of $405 million, $642 million and $417 million
in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash flows from operating activities increased in 2011, compared with 2010, largely due to
higher earnings for the Manufacturing group, partially offset by higher cash pension contributions.
Investing cash flows in 2012, 2011 and 2010 primarily included capital expenditures of $480 million, $423 million, and $270
million, respectively, in support of our new product development and cost improvement strategies.
We generated cash from financing activities in 2012, largely due to the receipt of $490 million from the Finance group in payment
of its intergroup borrowing, partially offset by share repurchases in the fourth quarter of 2012 and $189 million in payments on our
outstanding debt. In 2011, financing activities primarily consisted of $580 million in payments related to the purchase and
cancellation of convertible notes and $175 million in intergroup financing for our Finance group, partially offset by $496 million
in proceeds from the issuance of notes. In 2010, we repaid $1.2 billion of our bank credit lines.
Share Repurchases
In the fourth quarter of 2012, under a 2007 share repurchase authorization, we repurchased 11.1 million shares of our common
stock for a total cost of $272 million which fully utilized our available repurchase authorization. On January 22, 2013, our Board
of Directors approved a new authorization program for 25 million shares under which we intend to purchase shares of common
stock to offset the impact of dilution from share-based compensation plans and for opportunistic capital management purposes.
Dividends
Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $17 million, $22 million and $22 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Capital Contributions Paid To and Dividends Received From the Finance Group
Under a Support Agreement between Textron Inc. and TFC, Textron Inc. is required to maintain a controlling interest in TFC. The
agreement also requires Textron Inc. to ensure that TFC maintains fixed charge coverage of no less than 125% and consolidated
shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million. Cash contributions paid to TFC to maintain compliance with the Support
Agreement and dividends paid by TFC to Textron Inc. are detailed below:

Due to the nature of these contributions, we classify these contributions within cash flows used by operating activities for the
Manufacturing group in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Capital contributions to support Finance group growth in the
ongoing captive finance business are classified as cash flows from financing activities. The Finance group’s net income (loss) is
excluded from the Manufacturing group’s cash flows, while dividends from the Finance group are included within cash flows from
operating activities for the Manufacturing group as they represent a return on investment.
Finance Group Cash Flows
During 2012, we liquidated $821 million of the Finance group’s finance receivables, net of originations. These finance receivable
reductions occurred in both the non-captive and captive finance portfolios, but were primarily driven by the non-captive portfolio
in connection with our exit plan, including $241 million and $218 million in the Golf Mortgage and Timeshare product lines,
respectively. Depending on market conditions, we expect to liquidate the majority of the remaining $370 million of finance
receivables in the non-captive portfolio over the next two years.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased in 2012, primarily due to changes in taxes paid/received, partially offset by higher
earnings. Net tax (payments)/refunds were $(43) million, $65 million and $(101) million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Net tax payments in 2012 and 2010 included settlements related to the IRS’s challenge of tax deductions claimed in prior years for
certain leveraged lease transactions.
Cash receipts from the collection of finance receivables continued to outpace finance receivable originations, which resulted in net
cash inflow from investing activities for the past three years. Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales totaled $1.1
billion in 2012, $1.8 billion in 2011 and $3.0 billion in 2010. Cash outflows for originations declined to $331 million in 2012
from $471 million in 2011 and $866 million in 2010. These decreases were largely driven by the wind down of the non-captive
business.
Cash used in financing activities included principal payments on long-term debt of $0.4 billion, $0.8 billion and $2.1 billion in
2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of long term debt of
$106 million, $430 million and $231 million, respectively. In 2012, the Finance group also made cash payments totaling $493
million to the Manufacturing group related to intergroup borrowings. In 2011 and 2010, the Finance group paid $1.4 billion and
$0.3 billion, respectively, against the outstanding balance on its bank line of credit.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased during 2012 as compared with 2011, as higher earnings were offset by changes in
working capital, which included lower net cash receipts from our captive financing activities of $140 million and an increase in
pre-owned inventory in the Cessna segment largely due to higher trade-in activities, resulting in a cash reduction of $117 million.
Our use of cash for working capital requirements was partially offset by $237 million in lower cash pension contributions made in
2012.
Cash flow from operating activities increased in 2011, compared with 2010, primarily due to higher earnings for the
Manufacturing group, partially offset by higher cash pension contributions made in 2011. In addition, cash payments related to the
restructuring program that we substantially completed at the end of 2010 decreased to $44 million in 2011, from $72 million in
2010.
32 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Cash receipts from the collection of finance receivables continued to outpace finance receivable originations, which resulted in net
cash inflow from investing activities for the past three years. Finance receivables repaid and proceeds from sales totaled $0.7
billion in 2012, $1.2 billion in 2011 and $2.2 billion in 2010. Cash outflows for originations declined to $22 million in 2012 from
$187 million in 2011 and $450 million in 2010. These decreases are largely due to our ongoing exit from the non-captive
business. Investing activities also included capital expenditures of $480 million, $423 million, and $270 million in 2012, 2011 and
2010, respectively, in support of our new product development and cost improvement strategies.
Cash used in financing activities included principal payments on long-term debt of $0.6 billion, $0.8 billion and $2.2 billion in
2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011 and 2010, financing activities also included repayments of $1.4 billion and $1.5
billion, respectively, against the outstanding balance on our bank credit lines. Cash used in financing activities also included $272
million of share repurchases in 2012 and $580 million in payments related to the purchase of convertible notes in 2011. These
cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of long term debt of $106 million, $926 million and $231
million, respectively.
Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions
The Finance group finances retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by our
Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from
customers or from the sale of receivables 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.
Reclassification and elimination adjustments included in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows are summarized below:

(1) We maintain defined benefit pension plans and postretirement benefit plans other than pensions as discussed in Note 13 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements. Included in the above table are discounted estimated benefit payments we expect to make
related to unfunded pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Actual benefit payments are dependent on a number of
factors, including mortality assumptions, expected retirement age, rate of compensation increases and medical trend rates,
which are subject to change in future years. Our policy for funding pension plans is to make contributions annually,
consistent with applicable laws and regulations; however, future contributions to our pension plans are not included in the
above table. In 2013, we expect to make contributions to our funded pension plans of approximately $160 million and
approximately $22 million in the Retirement Account Plan. Based on our current assumptions, which may change with
changes in market conditions, our current contribution estimates for each of the years from 2014 through 2017 are estimated
to be in the range of approximately $100 million to $200 million under the plan provisions in place at this time.
(2) Other long-term liabilities included in the table consist primarily of undiscounted amounts in the Consolidated Balance Sheet
as of December 29, 2012, representing obligations under deferred compensation arrangements and estimated environmental
remediation costs. Payments under deferred compensation arrangements have been estimated based on management’s
assumptions of expected retirement age, mortality, stock price and rates of return on participant deferrals. The timing of cash
flows associated with environmental remediation costs is largely based on historical experience. Other long-term liabilities,
such as deferred taxes, unrecognized tax benefits and product liability and litigation reserves, have been excluded from the
table due to the uncertainty of the timing of payments combined with the absence of historical trends to be used as a predictor
for such payments.
(3) Operating leases represent undiscounted obligations under noncancelable leases.
(4) Purchase obligations include undiscounted amounts committed under legally enforceable contracts or purchase orders for
goods and services with defined terms as to price, quantity and delivery dates. Approximately 40% of the purchase
obligations we disclose represent purchase orders issued for goods and services to be delivered under firm contracts with the
U.S. Government for which we have full recourse under customary contract termination clauses.

(1) Securitized debt payments do not represent contractual obligations of the Finance group, and we do not provide legal
recourse to investors who purchase interests in the securitizations beyond the credit enhancement inherent in the retained
subordinate interests.
(2) Interest payments reflect the current interest rate paid on the related debt. They do not include anticipated changes in market
interest rates, which could have an impact on the interest rate according to the terms of the related debt.
At December 29, 2012, the Finance group also had $75 million in other liabilities, primarily accounts payable and accrued
expenses, that are payable within the next 12 months.
Critical Accounting Estimates
To prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, we must
make complex and subjective judgments in the selection and application of accounting policies. The accounting policies that we
believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are listed below. We believe these
policies require our most difficult, subjective and complex judgments in estimating the effect of inherent uncertainties. This
section should be read in conjunction with Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which includes other significant
accounting policies.
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.
Our cost estimation process is based on the professional knowledge and experience of engineers and program managers along with
finance professionals. We update our projections of costs at least semiannually or when circumstances significantly change.
Adjustments to projected costs are recognized in earnings when determinable. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in
full in the period in which the losses become probable and estimable. Due to the significance of judgment in the estimation
process described above, it is likely that materially different revenues and/or cost of sales amounts could be recorded if we used
different assumptions or if the underlying circumstances were to change. Our earnings could be reduced by a material amount
resulting in a charge to earnings if (a) total estimated contract costs are significantly higher than expected due to changes in
customer specifications prior to contract amendment, (b) total estimated contract costs are significantly higher than previously
estimated due to cost overruns or inflation, (c) there is a change in engineering efforts required during the development stage of the
contract or (d) we are unable to meet contract milestones.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 35
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 following table sets forth the aggregate gross amount of all program profit adjustments that are included within segment profit
for the three years ended December 29, 2012:

Goodwill
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances,
such as declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or material adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that the carrying
value of a reporting unit might be impaired. The reporting unit represents the operating segment unless discrete financial
information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment, in which
case such component is the reporting unit. In certain instances, we have aggregated components of an operating segment into a
single reporting unit based on similar economic characteristics.
For the Bell reporting unit, we performed a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as
the initial step in the annual goodwill impairment test. Based on the results of the qualitative assessment, we concluded that it is
more likely than not that the unit’s fair value is greater than its carrying amount and the next step of the impairment analysis was
not required. For our other reporting units, we performed the next step of the impairment analysis, which required us to calculate
fair value of each reporting unit.
Fair values were established primarily using discounted cash flows that incorporated assumptions for short- and long-term revenue
growth rates, operating margins and discount rates, which represent our best estimates of current and forecasted market conditions,
cost structure, anticipated net cost reductions, and the implied rate of return that we believe a market participant would require for
an investment in a business having similar risks and characteristics to the reporting unit being assessed. The revenue growth rates
and operating margins used in our discounted cash flow analysis are based on our strategic plans and long-range planning
forecasts. These plans do not include any potential impact that sequestration budget cuts may have on our businesses that serve the
U.S. Government. The long-term growth rate we use to determine the terminal value of the business is based on our assessment of
its minimum expected terminal growth rate, as well as its past historical growth and broader economic considerations such as gross
domestic product, inflation and the maturity of the markets we serve. We utilize a weighted-average cost of capital in our
impairment analysis that makes assumptions about the capital structure that we believe a market participant would make and
include a risk premium based on an assessment of risks related to the projected cash flows of each reporting unit. We believe this
approach yields a discount rate that is consistent with an implied rate of return that an independent investor or market participant
would require for an investment in a company having similar risks and business characteristics to the reporting unit being assessed.
If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds its carrying value, the reporting unit is not impaired, and no further analysis is
performed. Otherwise, the amount of the impairment must be determined by comparing the carrying amount of the reporting
unit’s goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is determined by assigning a fair
value to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, as if the reporting unit had
been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied
fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Based on our annual impairment reviews, the fair value of all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and we do not
believe that there is a reasonable possibility that any units might fail the initial step of the impairment test in the foreseeable future.
36 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Retirement Benefits
We maintain various pension and postretirement plans for our employees globally. These plans include significant pension and
postretirement benefit obligations, which are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Key assumptions used in determining these
obligations and related expenses include expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates and healthcare cost
projections. We also make assumptions regarding employee demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover
and rate of compensation increases. We evaluate and update these assumptions annually.
To determine the weighted-average expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, we consider the current and expected asset
allocation, as well as historical and expected returns on each plan asset class. A lower expected rate of return on plan assets will
increase pension expense. For 2012, the assumed expected long-term rate of return on plan assets used in calculating pension
expense was 7.58%, compared with 7.84% in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, the assumed rate of return for our domestic plans, which
represent approximately 90% of our total pension assets, was 7.75% and 8.00%, respectively. A 50-basis-point decrease in this
long-term rate of return in 2012 would have increased pension expense for our domestic plans by approximately $24 million.
The discount rate enables us to state expected future benefit payments as a present value on the measurement date, reflecting the
current rate at which the pension liabilities could be effectively settled. This rate should be in line with rates for high-quality fixed
income investments available for the period to maturity of the pension benefits, which fluctuate as long-term interest rates change.
A lower discount rate increases the present value of the benefit obligations and increases pension expense. In 2012, the weighted-
average discount rate used in calculating pension expense was 4.94%, compared with 5.71% in 2011. For our domestic plans, the
assumed discount rate was 5.00% in 2012, compared with 5.75% for 2011. A 50-basis-point decrease in this discount rate in 2012
would have increased pension expense for our domestic plans by approximately $27 million.
The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it has an important effect on postretirement liabilities. The 2012 medical
and prescription drug healthcare cost trend rates represent the weighted-average annual projected rate of increase in the per capita
cost of covered benefits. The 2012 medical rate of 8.40% is assumed to decrease to 5.00% by 2021 and then remain at that level.
The 2012 prescription drug rate of 8.40% is assumed to decrease to 5.00% by 2021 and then remain at that level. See Note 13 to
the Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of a one-percentage-point change in the cost trend rate.
Warranty Liabilities
We provide limited warranty and product maintenance programs, including parts and labor, for certain products for periods
ranging from one to five years. A significant portion of these liabilities arises from our commercial aircraft businesses. We also
may incur costs related to product recalls. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under warranty programs and record a
liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect this liability include the number
of products sold, historical costs per claim, contractual recoveries from vendors, and historical and anticipated rates of warranty
claims, including production and warranty patterns for new models. During our initial aircraft model launches, we typically incur
higher warranty-related costs until the production process matures, at which point warranty costs moderate. We assess the
adequacy of our recorded warranty and product maintenance liabilities periodically and adjust the amounts as necessary.
Adjustments are made to accruals as claim data and actual experience warrant. Should future warranty experience differ materially
from our historical experience, we may be required to record additional warranty liabilities, which could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations and cash flows in the period in which these additional liabilities are required.
Allowance for Losses on Finance Receivables Held for Investment
Finance receivables held for investment are generally recorded at the amount of outstanding principal less allowance for losses.
We maintain the allowance for losses on finance receivables at a level considered adequate to cover inherent losses in the portfolio
based on management’s evaluation. For larger balance accounts specifically identified as impaired, including large accounts in
homogeneous portfolios, a reserve is established based on comparing the carrying value with either a) the expected future cash
flows, discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate; or b) the fair value of the underlying collateral, if the finance
receivable is collateral dependent. 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/foreclosure and eventual disposal of collateral. When there is a range of potential outcomes, we
perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the 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 underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results. While
our analysis is specific to each individual account, critical factors included in this analysis for the Captive product line include
industry valuation guides, age and physical condition of collateral, payment history and existence and financial strength of
guarantors.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 37
We also establish an allowance for losses to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the portfolio. For the
Captive product line, the allowance is established as a percentage of non-recourse finance receivables, which have not been
identified as requiring specific reserves. The percentage is based on a combination of factors, including historical loss experience,
current delinquency and default trends, collateral values and both general economic and specific industry trends.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as from net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, and are stated at enacted
tax rates in effect for the year taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available
to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions
and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including the future reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, available tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable
income. We recognize net tax-related interest and penalties for continuing operations in income tax expense.
The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by federal, state and foreign tax authorities, which may result in
proposed assessments. Our estimate of the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We assess our
income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts,
circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than not that a tax
benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon
settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are accrued, where
applicable. We recognize net tax-related interest and penalties for continuing operations in income tax expense. If we do not
believe that it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. However, our future results
may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to settlement of income tax examinations,
new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, or other relevant events. As a result, our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly
on a quarterly and annual basis.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risks
Our financial results are affected by changes in the U.S. and foreign interest rates. As part of managing this risk, we seek to
achieve a prudent balance between floating- and fixed-rate exposures. We continually monitor our mix of these exposures and
adjust the mix, as necessary. For our Finance group, we limit our risk to changes in interest rates for the captive business with a
strategy of matching floating-rate assets with floating-rate liabilities, which includes the use of interest rate exchange agreements.
Foreign Exchange Risks
Our financial results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates in the various countries in which our products are
manufactured and/or sold. For our manufacturing operations, we manage exposures to foreign currency assets and earnings
primarily by funding certain foreign currency-denominated assets with liabilities in the same currency so that certain exposures are
naturally offset. We primarily use borrowings denominated in euro and British pound sterling for these purposes. In managing
our foreign currency transaction exposures, we also enter into foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts. These
contracts generally are used to fix the local currency cost of purchased goods or services or selling prices denominated in
currencies other than the functional currency. The notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts and foreign
currency options was approximately $0.7 billion and $0.6 billion at the end of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
The impact of foreign exchange rate changes for 2012 and 2011 from the prior year for each period is provided below:

Quantitative Risk Measures
In the normal course of business, we enter into financial instruments for purposes other than trading. To quantify the market risk
inherent in our financial instruments, we utilize a sensitivity analysis. The financial instruments that are subject to market risk
(interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk) include finance receivables (excluding lease receivables), debt (excluding lease
obligations), interest rate exchange agreements and foreign currency exchange contracts.
38 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Presented below is a sensitivity analysis of the fair value of financial instruments outstanding at year-end. We estimate the fair
value of the financial instruments using discounted cash flow analysis and indicative market pricing as reported by leading
financial news and data providers. This sensitivity analysis is most likely not indicative of actual results in the future. The
following table illustrates the sensitivity to a hypothetical change in the fair value of the financial instruments assuming a 10%
decrease in interest rates and a 10% strengthening in exchange rates against the U.S. dollar:

40 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Report of Management
Management is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial data presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and
include amounts based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management also is responsible for establishing and
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for Textron Inc. as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-
15(f). With the participation of our management, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework, we have concluded that Textron Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of December 29, 2012.
The independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, has audited the Consolidated Financial Statements of
Textron Inc. and has issued an attestation report on Textron’s internal controls over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012,
as stated in its reports, which are included herein.
We conduct our business in accordance with the standards outlined in the Textron Business Conduct Guidelines, which are
communicated to all employees. Honesty, integrity and high ethical standards are the core values of how we conduct business.
Every Textron business prepares and carries out an annual Compliance Plan to ensure these values and standards are maintained.
Our internal control structure is designed to provide reasonable assurance, at appropriate cost, that assets are safeguarded and that
transactions are properly executed and recorded. The internal control structure includes, among other things, established policies
and procedures, an internal audit function, and the selection and training of qualified personnel. Textron’s management is
responsible for implementing effective internal control systems and monitoring their effectiveness, as well as developing and
executing an annual internal control plan.
The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, on behalf of the shareholders, oversees management’s financial reporting
responsibilities. The Audit Committee consists of six directors who are not officers or employees of Textron and meets regularly
with the independent auditors, management and our internal auditors to review matters relating to financial reporting, internal
accounting controls and auditing. Both the independent auditors and the internal auditors have free and full access to senior
management and the Audit Committee.

Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 41
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Textron Inc.
We have audited Textron Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the
COSO criteria). Textron Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and
for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of
Management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our
audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control
over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control
over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in
the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that
(1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of
the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the
company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide
reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s
assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Textron Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December
29, 2012, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the
Consolidated Balance Sheets of Textron Inc. as of December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and the related Consolidated
Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Shareholders’ Equity and Cash Flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 29, 2012 of Textron Inc. and our report dated February 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Textron Inc.
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of Textron Inc. as of December 29, 2012 and December 31,
2011, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Comprehensive Income (Loss), Shareholders’ Equity and Cash
Flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule contained on page 83. These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position
of Textron Inc. at December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 29, 2012, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States),
Textron Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated
February 15, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 49
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Financial Statement Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. and its majority-owned subsidiaries. Our financings
are conducted through two separate borrowing groups. The Manufacturing group consists of Textron Inc. consolidated with its
majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments. The Finance group, which
also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation (TFC), its consolidated subsidiaries and three other finance
subsidiaries owned by Textron Inc. 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.
Our Finance group provides captive financing for retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment
manufactured by our Manufacturing group. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers or from
the sale of receivables 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 in
consolidation.
Collaborative Arrangements
Our Bell segment has a strategic alliance agreement with The Boeing Company (Boeing) to provide engineering, development and
test services related to the V-22 aircraft, as well as to produce the V-22 aircraft, under a number of separate contracts with the U.S.
Government (V-22 Contracts). The alliance created by this agreement is not a legal entity and has no employees, no assets and no
true operations. This agreement creates contractual rights and does not represent an entity in which we have an equity interest.
We account for this alliance as a collaborative arrangement with Bell and Boeing reporting costs incurred and revenues generated
from transactions with the U.S. Government in each company’s respective income statement. Neither Bell nor Boeing is
considered to be the principal participant for the transactions recorded under this agreement. Profits on cost-plus contracts are
allocated between Bell and Boeing on a 50%-50% basis. Negotiated profits on fixed-price contracts are also allocated 50%-50%;
however, Bell and Boeing are each responsible for their own cost overruns and are entitled to retain any cost underruns. Based on
the contractual arrangement established under the alliance, Bell accounts for its rights and obligations under the specific
requirements of the V-22 Contracts allocated to Bell under the work breakdown structure. We account for all of our rights and
obligations, including warranty, product and any contingent liabilities, under the specific requirements of the V-22 Contracts
allocated to us under the agreement. Revenues and cost of sales reflect our performance under the V-22 Contracts with revenues
recognized using the units-of-delivery method. We include all assets used in performance of the V-22 Contracts that we own,
including inventory and unpaid receivables and all liabilities arising from our obligations under the V-22 Contracts in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets.
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.
During 2012, 2011 and 2010, we changed 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 2012, 2011 and 2010 by $15 million, $54 million and $78 million, respectively, ($9 million, $34
million and $49 million after tax, or $0.03, $0.11 and $0.16 per diluted share, respectively). For 2012, 2011 and 2010, the gross
favorable program profit adjustments totaled $88 million, $83 million and $98 million, respectively. For 2012, 2011 and 2010, the
gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $73 million, $29 million and $20 million, respectively.
50 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Revenue Recognition
We generally recognize revenue for the sale of products, which are not under long-term contracts, upon delivery. For commercial
aircraft, delivery is upon completion of manufacturing, customer acceptance, and the transfer of the risk and rewards of ownership.
Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities are recorded on a net basis.
When a sale arrangement involves multiple deliverables, such as sales of products that include customization and other services,
we evaluate the arrangement to determine whether there are separate items that are required to be delivered under the arrangement
that qualify as separate units of accounting. These arrangements typically involve the customization services we offer to
customers who purchase Bell helicopters, and the services generally are provided within the first six months after the customer
accepts the aircraft and assumes risk of loss. We consider the aircraft and the customization services to be separate units of
accounting and allocate contract price between the two on a relative selling price basis using the best evidence of selling price for
each of the arrangement deliverables, typically by reference to the price charged when the same or similar items are sold separately
by us, taking into consideration any performance, cancellation, termination or refund-type provisions. We recognize revenue when
the recognition criteria for each unit of accounting are met.
Long-Term Contracts — Revenues under long-term contracts are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of
accounting. Under this method, we estimate profit as the difference between the total estimated revenues and cost of a contract.
We then recognize that estimated profit over the contract term based on either the units-of-delivery method or the cost-to-cost
method (which typically is used for development effort as costs are incurred), as appropriate under the circumstances. Revenues
under fixed-price contracts generally are recorded using the units-of-delivery method. Revenues under cost-reimbursement
contracts are recorded using the cost-to-cost method.
Long-term contract profits are based on estimates of total contract cost and revenues utilizing current contract specifications,
expected engineering requirements, the achievement of contract milestones and product deliveries. Certain contracts are awarded
with fixed-price incentive fees that also are considered when estimating revenues and profit rates. Contract costs typically are
incurred over a period of several years, and the estimation of these costs requires substantial judgment. Our cost estimation
process is based on the professional knowledge and experience of engineers and program managers along with finance
professionals. We update our projections of costs at least semiannually or when circumstances significantly change. 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. Anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in full in the
period in which the losses become probable and estimable.
Finance Revenues — Finance revenues include interest on finance receivables, direct loan origination costs and fees received, and
capital and leveraged lease earnings, as well as portfolio gains/losses. Portfolio gains/losses include impairment charges related to
repossessed assets and properties and gains/losses on the sale or early termination of finance assets. Revenues on direct loan
origination costs and fees received are deferred and amortized to finance revenues over the contractual lives of the respective
receivables and credit lines using the interest method. When receivables are sold or prepaid, unamortized amounts are recognized
in finance revenues.
We recognize interest using the interest method, which provides a constant rate of return over the terms of the receivables.
Accrual of interest income is suspended if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In
addition, we automatically suspend the accrual of interest income for accounts that are contractually delinquent by more than three
months unless collection is not doubtful. Cash payments on nonaccrual accounts, including finance charges, generally are applied
to reduce the net investment balance. We resume the accrual of interest when the loan becomes contractually current through
payment according to the original terms of the loan or, if a loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the
terms of the modification, provided we conclude that collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful. Previously
suspended interest income is recognized at that time.
Finance Receivables Held for Investment and Allowance for Losses
Finance receivables are classified as held for investment when we have the intent and the ability to hold the receivable for the
foreseeable future or until maturity or payoff. Finance receivables held for investment are generally recorded at the amount of
outstanding principal less allowance for losses.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 51
We maintain the allowance for losses on finance receivables held for investment at a level considered adequate to cover inherent
losses in the portfolio based on management’s evaluation. For larger balance accounts specifically identified as impaired,
including large accounts in homogeneous portfolios, a reserve is established based on comparing the carrying value with either a)
the expected future cash flows, discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate; or b) the fair value of the underlying
collateral, if the finance receivable is collateral dependent. 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/foreclosure 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 for the Captive product line include industry valuation guides, age and physical condition of the
collateral, payment history and existence and financial strength of guarantors.
We also establish an allowance for losses to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the portfolio. For the
Captive product line, the allowance is established as a percentage of non-recourse finance receivables, which have not been
identified as requiring specific reserves. The percentage is based on a combination of factors, including historical loss experience,
current delinquency and default trends, collateral values and both general economic and specific industry trends.
Finance receivables held for investment are charged off at the earlier of the date the collateral is repossessed or when no payment
has been received for six months, unless management deems the receivable collectible. Repossessed assets are recorded at their
fair value, less estimated cost to sell.
Finance Receivables Held for Sale
Finance receivables are classified as held for sale based on the determination that we no longer intend to hold the receivables for
the foreseeable future, until maturity or payoff, or we no longer have the ability to hold to maturity. Our decision to classify
certain finance receivables as held for sale is based on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, contractual duration, type
of collateral, credit strength of the borrowers, interest rates and perceived marketability of the receivables.
Finance receivables held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or fair value. At the time of transfer to the held for sale
classification, we establish a valuation allowance for any shortfall between the carrying value and fair value. In addition, any
allowance for loan losses previously allocated to these finance receivables is transferred to the valuation allowance account, which
is netted with finance receivables held for sale on the balance sheet. This valuation allowance is adjusted quarterly. Fair value
changes can occur based on market interest rates, market liquidity, and changes in the credit quality of the borrower and value of
underlying loan collateral.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. We value our inventories generally using the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method or the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for certain qualifying inventories where LIFO provides a better
matching of costs and revenues. We determine costs for our commercial helicopters on an average cost basis by model considering
the expended and estimated costs for the current production release. Inventoried costs related to long-term contracts are stated at
actual production costs, including allocable operating overhead, advances to suppliers, and, in the case of contracts with the U.S.
Government, allocable research and development and general and administrative expenses. Since our inventoried costs include
amounts related to contracts with long production cycles, a portion of these costs is not expected to be realized within one year.
Pursuant to contract provisions, agencies of the U.S. Government have title to, or security interest in, inventories related to such
contracts as a result of advances, performance-based payments and progress payments. Such advances and payments are reflected
as an offset against the related inventory balances. Customer deposits are recorded against inventory when the right of offset
exists. All other customer deposits are recorded in accrued liabilities.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated primarily using the straight-line method. We capitalize
expenditures for improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives.
52 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Intangible and Other Long-Lived Assets
At acquisition, we estimate and record the fair value of purchased intangible assets primarily using a discounted cash flow analysis
of anticipated cash flows reflecting incremental revenues and/or cost savings resulting from the acquired intangible asset using
market participant assumptions. Amortization of intangible assets with finite lives is recognized over their estimated useful lives
using a method of amortization that reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits of the intangible assets are consumed or
otherwise realized. Approximately 37% of our gross intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method, with the
remaining assets, primarily customer agreements, amortized based on the cash flow streams used to value the asset. Long-lived
assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If the carrying value of the asset held for use
exceeds the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows, the carrying value of the asset generally is written down to fair
value. Long-lived assets held for sale are stated at the lower of cost or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value is determined using
pertinent market information, including estimated future discounted cash flows.
Goodwill
We evaluate the recoverability of goodwill annually in the fourth quarter or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances,
such as declines in sales, earnings or cash flows, or material adverse changes in the business climate, indicate that the carrying
value of a reporting unit might be impaired. The reporting unit represents the operating segment unless discrete financial
information is prepared and reviewed by segment management for businesses one level below that operating segment, in which
case such component is the reporting unit. In certain instances, we have aggregated components of an operating segment into a
single reporting unit based on similar economic characteristics.
We may perform a qualitative assessment based on economic, industry and company-specific factors as the initial step in our
annual goodwill impairment test for selected reporting units. If we determine that it is more likely than not that a reporting unit’s
fair value exceeds its carrying value, we do not perform a quantitative assessment. For all other reporting units, we calculate the
fair value of each reporting unit, primarily using discounted cash flows. The discounted cash flows incorporate assumptions for
the unit’s short- and long-term revenue growth rates, operating margins and discount rates, which represent our best estimates of
current and forecasted market conditions, cost structure, anticipated net cost reductions, and the implied rate of return that we
believe a market participant would require for an investment in a business having similar risks and business characteristics to the
reporting unit being assessed. If the reporting unit’s estimated fair value exceeds its carrying value, the reporting unit is not
impaired, and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, the amount of the impairment must be determined by comparing the
carrying amount of the reporting unit goodwill to the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is
determined by assigning a fair value to all of the reporting unit’s assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible
assets, as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination at fair value. If the carrying amount of the reporting
unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Obligations
We maintain various pension and postretirement plans for our employees globally. These plans include significant pension and
postretirement benefit obligations, which are calculated based on actuarial valuations. Key assumptions used in determining these
obligations and related expenses include expected long-term rates of return on plan assets, discount rates and healthcare cost
projections. We evaluate and update these assumptions annually in consultation with third-party actuaries and investment
advisors. We also make assumptions regarding employee demographic factors such as retirement patterns, mortality, turnover and
rate of compensation increases. We recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of our pension and postretirement plans in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and recognize changes in the funded status of our defined benefit plans in comprehensive income in
the year in which they occur. Actuarial gains and losses that are not immediately recognized as net periodic pension cost are
recognized as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income (OCI) and are amortized into net periodic pension cost in future
periods.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We are exposed to market risk primarily from changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. To manage the volatility relating to our exposures, we net
these exposures on a consolidated basis to take advantage of natural offsets. For the residual portion, we enter into various
derivative transactions pursuant to our policies in areas such as counterparty exposure and hedging practices. All derivative
instruments are reported at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Designation to support hedge accounting is performed
on a specific exposure basis. For financial instruments qualifying as fair value hedges, we record changes in fair value in earnings,
offset, in part or in whole, by corresponding changes in the fair value of the underlying exposures being hedged. For cash flow
hedges, we record changes in the fair value of derivatives (to the extent they are effective as hedges) in OCI, net of deferred taxes.
Changes in fair value of derivatives not qualifying as hedges are recorded in earnings.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 53
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars. Adjustments from currency rate changes are
recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account in shareholders’ equity until the related foreign entity is sold or
substantially liquidated. We use foreign currency financing transactions to effectively hedge long-term investments in foreign
operations with the same corresponding currency. Foreign currency gains and losses on the hedge of the long-term investments
are recorded in the cumulative translation adjustment account with the offset recorded as an adjustment to debt.
Product Liabilities
We accrue for product liability claims and related defense costs when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. Our estimates
are generally based on the specifics of each claim or incident and our best estimate of the probable loss using historical experience.
Environmental Liabilities and Asset Retirement Obligations
Liabilities for environmental matters are recorded on a site-by-site basis when it is probable that an obligation has been incurred
and the cost can be reasonably estimated. We estimate our accrued environmental liabilities using currently available facts,
existing technology, and presently enacted laws and regulations, all of which are subject to a number of factors and uncertainties.
Our environmental liabilities are not discounted and do not take into consideration possible future insurance proceeds or
significant amounts from claims against other third parties.
We have incurred asset retirement obligations primarily related to costs to remove and dispose of underground storage tanks and
asbestos materials used in insulation, adhesive fillers and floor tiles. There is no legal requirement to remove these items, and
there currently is no plan to remodel the related facilities or otherwise cause the impacted items to require disposal. Since these
asset retirement obligations are not estimable, there is no related liability recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Warranty and Product Maintenance Contracts
We provide limited warranty and product maintenance programs, including parts and labor, for certain products for periods
ranging from one to five years. We estimate the costs that may be incurred under warranty programs and record a liability in the
amount of such costs at the time product revenues are recognized. Factors that affect this liability include the number of products
sold, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. We assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty and
product maintenance liabilities periodically and adjust the amounts as necessary. Additionally, we may establish warranty
liabilities related to the issuance of aircraft service bulletins for aircraft no longer covered under the limited warranty programs.
Research and Development Costs
Our customer-funded research and development costs are charged directly to the related contracts, which primarily consist of U.S.
Government contracts. In accordance with government regulations, we recover a portion of company-funded research and
development costs through overhead rate charges on our U.S. Government contracts. Research and development costs that are not
reimbursable under a contract with the U.S. Government or another customer are charged to expense as incurred. Company-
funded research and development costs were $584 million, $525 million, and $403 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively,
and are included in cost of sales.
Income Taxes
Deferred income tax balances reflect the effects of temporary differences between the financial reporting carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities and their tax bases, as well as from net operating losses and tax credit carryforwards, and are stated at enacted
tax rates in effect for the year taxes are expected to be paid or recovered. Deferred income tax assets represent amounts available
to reduce income taxes payable on taxable income in future years. We evaluate the recoverability of these future tax deductions
and credits by assessing the adequacy of future expected taxable income from all sources, including the future reversal of existing
taxable temporary differences, taxable income in carryback years, available tax planning strategies and estimated future taxable
income. We recognize net tax-related interest and penalties for continuing operations in income tax expense.
Note 2. Discontinued Operations
In pursuing our business strategies, we have periodically divested certain non-core businesses. For several previously-disposed
businesses, we have retained certain assets and liabilities. All residual activity relating to our previously-disposed businesses that
meet the appropriate criteria is included in discontinued operations.
In connection with the 2008 sale of the Fluid & Power business unit, we received a six-year note with a face value of $28 million
and a five-year note with a face value of $30 million, which were both recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet net of a
valuation allowance. In the fourth quarter of 2011, we received full payment of both of these notes plus interest, resulting in a gain
of $52 million that was recorded in Other losses, net.

Captive primarily includes loans and finance leases provided to purchasers of new and used Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters
and also includes loans and finance leases secured by used aircraft produced by other manufacturers. These agreements typically
have initial terms ranging from five to ten years and amortization terms ranging from eight to fifteen years. The average balance
of loans and finance leases in Captive was $1 million at December 29, 2012. Loans generally require the customer to pay a
significant down payment, along with periodic scheduled principal payments that reduce the outstanding balance through the term
of the loan. Finance leases with no significant residual value at the end of the contractual term are classified as loans, as their legal
and economic substance is more equivalent to a secured borrowing than a finance lease with a significant residual value. Captive
also includes, to a limited extent, finance leases provided to purchasers of new E-Z-GO and Jacobsen golf and turf-care equipment.
Golf Mortgage primarily includes golf course mortgages and also includes mortgages secured by hotels and marinas, which are
secured by real property and are generally limited to 75% or less of the property's appraised market value at loan origination.
These mortgages typically have initial terms ranging from five to ten years with amortization periods from twenty to thirty years.
As of December 29, 2012, loans in Golf Mortgage had an average balance of $7 million and a weighted-average contractual
maturity of two years. All loans in this portfolio are classified as held for sale. Structured Capital primarily includes leveraged
leases secured by the ownership of the leased equipment and real property. Timeshare includes pools of timeshare interval resort
notes that typically have terms of ten to twenty years, as well as term loans secured by timeshare interval inventory.
Our finance receivables are diversified across geographic region and borrower industry. At December 29, 2012, 45% of our
finance receivables were distributed throughout the U.S. compared with 54% at the end of 2011. Finance receivables held for
investment are composed primarily of loans. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, these finance receivables included
$341 million and $559 million, respectively, of receivables, primarily in the Captive product line, that have been legally sold to
special purpose entities (SPEs), which are consolidated subsidiaries of TFC. The assets of the SPEs are pledged as collateral for
their debt, which is reflected as securitized on-balance sheet debt in Note 8. Third-party investors have no legal recourse to TFC
beyond the credit enhancement provided by the assets of the SPEs.
We received total proceeds of $116 million and $476 million from the sale of finance receivables in 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Total gains resulting from these sales were not material for 2012 and 2011.
Credit Quality Indicators and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables
We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables held for investment portfolio 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 held for investment 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. Cash payments on nonaccrual accounts,
including finance charges, generally are applied to reduce the net investment balance. We resume the accrual of interest when the
56 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan or, if a loan has been modified,
following a period of performance under the terms of the modification, provided we conclude that collection of all principal and
interest is no longer doubtful. Previously suspended interest income is recognized at that time.
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 held for
investment that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing.
A summary of finance receivables held for investment categorized based on the credit quality indicators discussed above is as

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our loans and leases. 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.

We had no accrual status loans that were greater than 90 days past due at December 29, 2012 or December 31, 2011. At
December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, 60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables held for
investment was 4.65% and 6.70%, respectively.
Loan Modifications
Troubled debt restructurings occur when we have either modified the contract terms of finance receivables held for investment for
borrowers experiencing financial difficulties or accepted a transfer of assets in full or partial satisfaction of the loan balance. The
types of modifications we typically make include extensions of the original maturity date of the contract, extensions of revolving
borrowing periods, delays in the timing of required principal payments, deferrals of interest payments, advances to protect the
value of our collateral and principal reductions contingent on full repayment prior to the maturity date. The changes effected by
modifications made during 2012 and 2011 to finance receivables held for investment were not material.
Impaired Loans
We evaluate individual finance receivables held for investment in non-homogeneous portfolios and larger accounts in
homogeneous loan portfolios for impairment on a quarterly basis. Finance receivables classified as held for sale are reflected at
the lower of cost or fair value and are excluded from these evaluations. 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 discussed 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. There
was no significant interest income recognized on impaired loans in 2012 or 2011.

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, our Finance group paid our Manufacturing group $309 million, $284 million and $416 million,
respectively, related to the sale of Textron-manufactured products to third parties that were financed by the Finance group. Our
Cessna and Industrial segments also received proceeds in those years of $19 million, $2 million and $10 million, respectively,
from the sale of equipment from their manufacturing operations to our Finance group for use under operating lease agreements.
Operating agreements specify that our Finance group has recourse to our Manufacturing group for certain uncollected amounts
related to these transactions. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, finance receivables and operating leases subject to
recourse to the Manufacturing group totaled $83 million and $88 million, respectively. Our Manufacturing group has established
reserves for losses on its balance sheet within accrued and other liabilities for the amounts it guarantees.
Textron lends TFC funds to pay down maturing debt. The average interest rate on these borrowings was 4.3% and 5.0% during
2012 and 2011, respectively. At December 29, 2012, there was no outstanding balance due to Textron under this arrangement, and
at December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance due to Textron was $490 million. These amounts are included in other current
assets for the Manufacturing group and Due to Manufacturing group for the Finance group in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Finance Receivables Held for Sale
At the end of 2012 and 2011, $140 million and $418 million of finance receivables were classified as held for sale. At December
29, 2012, finance receivables held for sale included the entire Golf Mortgage portfolio. In 2011, we transferred $458 million of
the remaining Golf Mortgage portfolio, net of an $80 million allowance for loan losses, from the held for investment classification
to the held for sale classification. These finance receivables were recorded at fair value at the time of the transfer, resulting in a
$186 million charge recorded to Valuation allowance on transfer of Golf Mortgage portfolio to held for sale. Also, in 2011, we
transferred a total of $125 million of Timeshare finance receivables to the held for sale classification, based on an agreement to sell
a portion of the portfolio that was sold in the fourth quarter of 2011 and interest in other portions of the portfolio. We received
proceeds of $109 million and $383 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, from the sale of finance receivables held for sale and
$207 million and $10 million, respectively, from payoffs and collections.

4.50% Convertible Senior Notes and Related Transactions
On May 5, 2009, we issued $600 million of convertible senior notes with a maturity date of May 1, 2013 and interest payable
semiannually. The convertible notes are accounted for in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require
us to separately account for the liability (debt) and the equity (conversion option) components of the convertible notes in a manner
that reflected our non-convertible debt borrowing rate at time of issuance. Accordingly, we recorded a debt discount and
corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital of $134 million at the issuance date. We are amortizing the debt discount
utilizing the effective interest method over the life of the notes, which increases the effective interest rate of the convertible notes
from its coupon rate of 4.50% to 11.72%. We incurred cash and non-cash interest expense of $25 million in 2012, $58 million in
2011 and $60 million in 2010 for these notes.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 61
At December 29, 2012, the face value of our convertible notes outstanding was $215 million and the unamortized discount totaled
$5 million. Under the terms of the Indenture that governs the notes, the notes are currently convertible at the holder’s option
through April 29, 2013, the second day preceding their May 1, 2013 maturity. The notes are convertible into shares of our
common stock at an initial conversion rate of 76.1905 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes,
which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $13.125 per share. Upon conversion, we have the right to settle
the conversion of each $1,000 principal amount of convertible notes with any of the three following alternatives: (1) cash, (2)
shares of our common stock or (3) a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. We intend to settle the face value of
the convertible notes in cash. Based on a December 29, 2012 stock price of $24.12, the “if converted value” exceeded the face
amount of the notes by $180 million; however, after giving effect to the exercise of the call options and warrants described below,
the incremental cash or share settlement in excess of the face amount would result in either a cash payment of $137 million, a 5.7
million net share issuance, or a combination of cash and stock, at our option.
At December 31, 2011, the face value of the notes totaled $216 million, and the unamortized discount totaled $21 million. In
September 2011, we announced a cash tender offer for any and all of the outstanding convertible notes. In the aggregate, the
holders validly tendered $225 million principal amount of the convertible notes. Subsequent to the tender offer, we also purchased
$151 million principal amount of the convertible notes in a small number of privately negotiated transactions and retired another
$8 million related to a holder-initiated conversion in 2011. We paid approximately $580 million in cash related to these
transactions. In accordance with the applicable authoritative accounting guidance, we determined the fair value of the liability
component of the convertible notes purchased in the tender offer and subsequent transactions to be $398 million, with the balance
of $182 million representing the equity component. The carrying value of these convertible notes, including unamortized issuance
costs, was $343 million, which resulted in a pretax loss of $55 million that was recorded in Other losses, net in 2011, along with a
$182 million reduction to shareholders’ equity.
Call Option and Warrant Transactions
Concurrently with the pricing of the convertible notes in May 2009, we entered into transactions with two counterparties, including
an underwriter and an affiliate of an underwriter of the convertible notes, pursuant to which we purchased from the counterparties
call options to acquire our common stock and sold to the counterparties warrants to purchase our common stock. We entered into
these transactions for the purposes of reducing the cash outflow and/or the potential dilutive effect to our shareholders upon the
conversion of the convertible notes.
On October 25, 2011, we entered into separate agreements with each of the counterparties to the call option and warrant
transactions to adjust the number of shares of common stock covered by these instruments to reflect the results of the tender offer.
Accordingly, we reduced the number of common shares covered under the call options from 45.7 million shares to 28.6 million
shares. In addition, the warrants were amended to reduce the number of shares covered by the warrants to 28.0 million and to
change the expiration dates specified in the original agreement to correspond with the final settlement period for the call options.
Pursuant to these amendments, we received $135 million for the call option transaction and paid $133 million for the warrant
transaction, and the net amount was recorded within shareholders’ equity. Subsequently, due to the additional repurchases of
convertible notes, we entered into amendments with each of the counterparties to further reduce the number of shares of common
stock covered by these instruments. Accordingly, we reduced the number of common shares covered under the call options from
28.6 million shares to 16.5 million shares and reduced the number of shares covered by the warrants from 28.0 million shares to
16.5 million shares. The net value of $20 million related to these amendments was used to increase our capped call position as
discussed further below. In the aggregate, the reductions in the number of shares subject to the call options and warrants equated
to the number of shares of common stock into which the principal amount of all the notes repurchased in the fourth quarter of 2011
would have been convertible.
At the end of 2012, the outstanding purchased call options gave us the right to acquire from the counterparties 16.4 million shares
of our common stock (the number of shares into which all of the remaining notes are convertible) at an exercise price of $13.125
per share (the same as the initial conversion price of the notes), subject to adjustments that mirror the terms of the convertible
notes. The call options will terminate at the earlier of the maturity date of the related convertible notes or the last day on which
any of the related notes remain outstanding. The warrants give the counterparties the right to acquire, subject to anti-dilution
adjustments, an aggregate of 16.4 million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $15.75 per share. We may settle these
transactions in cash, shares or a combination of cash and shares, at our option. When evaluated in aggregate, the call options and
warrants have the effect of increasing the effective conversion price of the convertible notes from $13.125 to $15.75. Accordingly,
we will not incur the cash outflow or the dilution that would be experienced due to the increase of the share price from $13.125 per
share to $15.75 per share because we are entitled to receive from the counterparties the difference between our sale to the
counterparties of 16.4 million shares at $15.75 per share and our purchase of shares from the counterparties at $13.125 per share.
62 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
Based on the structure of the call options and warrants, these contracts meet all of the applicable accounting criteria for equity
classification under the applicable accounting standards and, as such, are classified in shareholders’ equity in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. In addition, since these contracts are classified in shareholders’ equity and indexed to our common stock, they are
not accounted for as derivatives, and, accordingly, we do not recognize changes in their fair value.
Capped Call Transactions
On October 25, 2011, we entered into capped call transactions with the counterparties for a cost of $32 million, which covered
17.1 million shares of our common stock. We subsequently amended the capped call transactions to cover an additional 11.5
million shares of our common stock in lieu of $20 million we would have received from the counterparties related to the
amendment of the option and warrant transactions discussed above. At December 29, 2012, the capped calls covered an aggregate
of 28.7 million shares of our common stock (the number of shares into which all of the repurchased notes would have been
convertible). We purchased the capped calls in order to retain the potential value of the original call option and warrant
transactions which we would otherwise have given up upon the downsizing of those instruments. The capped calls have a strike
price of $13.125 per share and a cap price of $15.75 per share, which entitles us to receive at the May 2013 expiration date the per
share value of our stock price in excess of $13.125 up to a maximum stock price of $15.75. If the market price of our common
stock at the expiration date is less than $13.125, the capped call will expire with no value. The maximum value of the capped
calls, in the event that our stock price is at least $15.75 at the expiration date, is approximately $75 million. We may elect for the
settlement of the capped call transactions, if any, to be paid to us in shares of our common stock or cash or in a combination of
cash and shares of common stock. Based on the structure of the capped call, the transactions meet all of the applicable accounting
criteria for equity classification and will be classified within shareholders’ equity.
6% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes
The Finance group’s $300 million of 6% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes are unsecured and rank junior to all of
its existing and future senior debt. The notes mature on February 15, 2067; however, we have the right to redeem the notes at par
on or after February 15, 2017 and are obligated to redeem the notes beginning on February 15, 2042. The Finance group has
agreed in a replacement capital covenant that it will not redeem the notes on or before February 15, 2047 unless it receives a
capital contribution from the Manufacturing group and/or net proceeds from the sale of certain replacement capital securities at
specified amounts. Interest on the notes is fixed at 6% until February 15, 2017 and floats at the three-month London Interbank
Offered Rate + 1.735% thereafter.
Support Agreement
Under a Support Agreement, Textron Inc. is required to ensure that TFC maintains fixed charge coverage of no less than 125% and
consolidated shareholder’s equity of no less than $200 million. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, cash payments of $240 million, $182
million and $383 million, respectively, were paid to TFC to maintain compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.
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
The assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of our derivative financial

The Finance group’s interest rate exchange contracts are not exchange traded and are measured at fair value utilizing widely
accepted, third-party developed valuation models. The actual terms of each individual contract are entered into a valuation model,
along with interest rate and foreign exchange rate data, which is based on readily observable market data published by third-party
leading financial news and data providers. Credit risk is factored into the fair value of these assets and liabilities based on the
differential between both our credit default swap spread for liabilities and the counterparty’s credit default swap spread for assets
as compared with a standard AA-rated counterparty; however, this had no significant impact on the valuation at December 29,
2012. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had interest rate exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which
the contracts were based of $671 million and $848 million, respectively.
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 December 29, 2012 and December
31, 2011, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $664 million
and $645 million, respectively.
Fair Value Hedges
Our Finance group enters into interest rate exchange contracts to mitigate exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed-rate
receivables and debt due to fluctuations in interest rates. By using these contracts, we are able to convert our fixed-rate cash flows
to floating-rate cash flows. The amount of ineffectiveness on our fair value hedges and the gain (loss) recorded in the
Consolidated Statements of Operations were both insignificant in 2012 and 2011.
Cash Flow Hedges
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. The primary purpose of our foreign currency hedging activities is to manage the
volatility associated with foreign currency purchases of materials, foreign currency sales of products, and other assets and
liabilities in the normal course of business. We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts and purchased options with maturities
of no more than three years that qualify as cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on
forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses. At December 29, 2012, we had a net deferred gain of $5 million in
Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges. Net gains and losses recognized in earnings and
Accumulated other comprehensive loss on these cash flow hedges, including gains and losses related to hedge ineffectiveness,
were not material in 2012 and 2011. We do not expect the amount of gains and losses in Accumulated other comprehensive loss
that will be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months to be material.
64 Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012
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 net investments. We also may utilize currency forwards as hedges of our related foreign net
investments. We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective
as cash flow hedges. If a contract does not qualify for hedge accounting or is designated as a fair value hedge, changes in the fair
value of the contract are recorded in earnings. Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the
foreign currency translation adjustment account within other comprehensive income, produced a $14 million after-tax loss in 2012,
resulting in an accumulated net gain balance of $4 million at December 29, 2012. The ineffective portion of these hedges was
insignificant.
Counterparty Credit Risk
Our exposure to loss from nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative agreements at the end of 2012 was minimal. We
do not anticipate nonperformance by counterparties in the periodic settlements of amounts due. We historically have minimized
this potential for risk by entering into contracts exclusively with major, financially sound counterparties having no less than a long-
term bond rating of A. The credit risk generally is limited to the amount by which the counterparties’ contractual obligations
exceed our obligations to the counterparty. We continuously monitor our exposures to ensure that we limit our risks.
Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
During 2012 and 2011, certain assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs
(Level 3). The table below sets forth the balance of those assets at the end of the year in which a fair value adjustment was taken.

Finance receivables held for sale — Finance receivables held for sale are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during
periods in which the fair value is lower than the cost value. There are no active, quoted market prices for these finance
receivables. At December 29, 2012, our finance receivables held for sale included the entire Golf Mortgage portfolio. Fair value
of this portfolio was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models to estimate the price we expect to receive in the
principal market for each pool of similar loans, in an orderly transaction. The discount rates utilized in these models are derived
from prevailing interest rate indices and are based on the nature of the assets, discussions with market participants and our
experience in the actual disposition of similar assets. The cash flow models also include the use of qualitative assumptions
regarding the borrower’s ability to pay and the period of time that will likely be required to restructure and/or exit the account
through acquisition of the underlying collateral. We utilize revenue and earnings multiples to determine the expected value of the
loan collateral. The range of multiples used is based on bids from prospective buyers, inputs from market participants and prices at
which sales have been transacted for similar properties. The gains on finance receivables held for sale during 2012 were primarily
the result of the payoff of loans in amounts, and sale of loans at prices, in excess of the values established in previous periods.
Based on our qualitative assumptions, we separate the loans into three categories for the cash flow models. In the first category,
we include loans that we assume will be paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan. In the second category, we
include loans where we perceive that the borrower has less of an ability to pay, and we assume that the loan will be restructured
and resolved typically over a period of one to four years. For the third category, we assume that the borrower will default on the
loan and that it will be resolved within an average of 24 months. The fair values of these finance receivables are sensitive to
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 65
variability in both the quantitative and qualitative assumptions. Changes in the borrower’s ability to pay or the period of time
required to restructure and/or exit accounts may significantly increase or decrease the fair value of these finance receivables, and,
to a lesser extent, fluctuations in discount rates and/or revenue and earnings multiples could also change the fair value of these
finance receivables.
Impaired finance receivables — 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 Captive impaired nonaccrual finance receivables, the fair values of collateral are determined
primarily based on the use of industry pricing guides. Timeshare impaired nonaccrual finance receivables largely consist of pools
of timeshare interval resort notes receivable. Fair values of collateral are estimated using cash flow models incorporating
estimates of credit losses in the consumer notes pools. Fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables resulted
in charges to provision for loan losses and primarily related to initial fair value adjustments.
Other assets — Other assets in the table above primarily include repossessed golf and hotel properties and aviation assets. The fair
value of our golf and hotel properties is determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models, bids from prospective buyers
or inputs from market participants. The fair value of our aviation assets is largely determined based on the use of industry pricing
guides. If the carrying amount of these assets is higher than their estimated fair value, we record a corresponding charge to income
for the difference.
Intangible assets — In 2011, we recorded a $41 million pre-tax impairment charge to write down intangible assets in our Systems
segment primarily related to customer agreements and contractual relationships associated with AAI-Logistics & Technical Services and
AAI-Test & Training businesses. We determined the fair value of these assets using discounted cash flows related to each asset group and
a weighted-average cost of capital of approximately 10%. The impairment charge was recorded in cost of sales within segment profit.

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions or Level 2 inputs.
At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately 46% and 53%, respectively, of the fair value of term debt for the
Finance group was determined based on observable market transactions (Level 1). The remaining Finance group debt was
determined 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 held for investment 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.

Reserved Shares of Common Stock
At the end of 2012, common stock reserved for the conversion of convertible notes, the exercise of outstanding stock options and
warrants, and the issuance of shares upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units totaled 63 million shares. See the
“Convertible Senior Notes and Related Transactions” section in Note 8 for information on our convertible debt.
Income per Common 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, restricted stock units and the shares that could be issued upon the conversion of our convertible notes, as
discussed below, and upon the exercise of the related warrants. The convertible note call options purchased in connection with the
issuance of the convertible notes and the capped call transaction entered into in 2011 are excluded from the calculation of diluted
EPS as their impact is always anti-dilutive. Upon conversion of our convertible notes, as described in Note 8, the principal amount
would be settled in cash, and the excess of the conversion value, as defined, over the principal amount may be settled in cash
and/or shares of our common stock. Therefore, only the shares of our common stock potentially issuable with respect to the excess
of the notes’ conversion value over the principal amount, if any, are considered as dilutive potential common shares for purposes
of calculating diluted EPS.
The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

In 2012, 2011 and 2010, stock options to purchase 7 million, 5 million and 7 million shares, respectively, of common stock
outstanding are excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as the exercise prices were greater
than the average market price of our common stock for those periods. These securities could potentially dilute EPS in the future.

Note 11. Special Charges
There were no amounts recorded within special charges in 2012 and 2011. In 2010, special charges included restructuring charges
related to a global restructuring program that totaled $99 million, including $76 million of severance costs. In 2008, we initiated a
global restructuring program to reduce overhead costs and improve productivity across the company and announced the exit of
portions of our commercial finance business. We record restructuring costs in special charges as these costs are generally of a
nonrecurring nature and are not included in segment profit, which is our measure used for evaluating performance and for
decision-making purposes.
In 2010, we substantially liquidated the assets held by a Canadian entity within the Finance segment. Accordingly, we recorded a
non-cash charge of $91 million ($74 million after-tax) within special charges to reclassify the entity’s cumulative currency
translation adjustment amount within other comprehensive income to the Statement of Operations. The reclassification of this
amount had no impact on shareholders’ equity.

Our 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Plan) supersedes the 1999 Long-Term Incentive Plan and authorizes awards to our key
employees in the form of options to purchase our shares, restricted stock, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights,
performance stock awards and other awards. A maximum of 12 million shares is authorized for issuance for all purposes under the
Plan plus any shares that become available upon cancellation, forfeiture or expiration of awards granted under the 1999 Long-
Term Incentive Plan. No more than 12 million shares may be awarded pursuant to incentive stock options, and no more than 3
million shares may be awarded pursuant to restricted stock units or other awards intended to be paid in shares. The Plan also
authorizes performance share units to be paid in cash based upon the value of our common stock.
Through our Deferred Income Plan for Textron Executives (DIP), we provide certain executives the opportunity to voluntarily
defer up to 25% of their base salary and up to 80% of annual, long-term incentive and other compensation. Elective deferrals may
be put into either a stock unit account or an interest-bearing account. We generally contribute a 10% premium on amounts
deferred into the stock unit account. Executives who are eligible to participate in the DIP and have not achieved and/or maintained
the required minimum stock ownership level are required to defer part of each subsequent long-term incentive compensation cash
payout into the DIP stock unit account until the ownership requirements are satisfied; these deferrals are not entitled to the 10%
premium contribution on the amount deferred. Participants cannot move amounts between the two accounts while actively
employed by us and cannot receive distributions until termination of employment. The intrinsic value of amounts paid under the
DIP in 2012, 2011 and 2010 totaled to $1 million, $1 million and $9 million, respectively.
Share-based compensation costs are reflected primarily in selling and administrative expenses. The compensation expense that has
been recorded in net income for our share-based compensation plans is as follows:

Compensation expense included approximately $23 million, $17 million and $7 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively,
representing the attribution of the fair value of options issued and the portion of previously granted options for which the requisite
service has been rendered.
Compensation cost for awards subject only to service conditions that vest ratably are recognized on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award. As of December 29, 2012, we had not recognized $62
million of total compensation costs associated with unvested awards subject only to service conditions. We expect to recognize
compensation expense for these awards over a weighted-average period of approximately 3 years.
Stock Options
Options to purchase our shares have a maximum term of 10 years and generally vest ratably over a three-year period. The stock
option compensation cost calculated under the fair value approach is recognized over the vesting period of the stock options. We
estimate the fair value of options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatilities
are 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 during the past three years and the assumptions used in our option-pricing
model for such grants are as follows:
Fair value of options at grant date
Dividend yield
Expected volatility
Risk-free interest rate
Expected term (in years)

At December 29, 2012, our outstanding options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $12 million and a weighted-average remaining
contractual life of 7 years. Our exercisable options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $10 million and a weighted-average
remaining contractual life of 5 years at December 29, 2012. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2012, 2011 and
2010 amounted to $11 million, $2 million and $1 million, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
In 2012, we issued restricted stock units settled in both cash and stock (vesting one-third each in the third, fourth and fifth year
following the year of the grant), which included the right to receive dividend equivalents. The fair value of these units is based
solely on the trading price of our common stock on the grant date and is recognized ratably over the vesting period. During 2009
through 2011, we issued restricted stock units settled in cash that vested in equal installments over five years. In 2008, restricted
stock unit awards generally were payable in shares of common stock (vesting one-third each in the third, fourth and fifth year
following the year of the grant). The 2012 activity for restricted stock units is provided below:

Our defined benefit and defined contribution plans cover substantially all of our employees. A significant number of our U.S.-
based employees participate in the Textron Retirement Plan, which is designed to be a “floor-offset” arrangement with both a
defined benefit component and a defined contribution component. The defined benefit component of the arrangement includes the
Textron Master Retirement Plan (TMRP) and the Bell Helicopter Textron Master Retirement Plan (BHTMRP), and the defined
contribution component is the Retirement Account Plan (RAP). The defined benefit component provides a minimum guaranteed
benefit (or “floor” benefit). Under the RAP, participants are eligible to receive contributions from Textron of 2% of their eligible
compensation but may not make contributions to the plan. Upon retirement, participants receive the greater of the floor benefit or
the value of the RAP. Both the TMRP and the BHTMRP are subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). Effective on January 1, 2010, the Textron Retirement Plan was closed to new participants, and
employees hired after that date receive an additional 4% annual cash contribution to their Textron Savings Plan account based on
their eligible compensation.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 71
We also have domestic and foreign funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans that cover certain of our U.S. and foreign
employees. In addition, several defined contribution plans are sponsored by our various businesses. The largest such plan is the
Textron Savings Plan, which is a qualified 401(k) plan subject to ERISA in which a significant number of our U.S.-based
employees participate. Our defined contribution plans cost approximately $88 million, $85 million and $88 million in 2012, 2011
and 2010, respectively; these amounts include $21 million, $23 million and $25 million, respectively, in contributions to the RAP.
We also provide postretirement benefits other than pensions for certain retired employees in the U.S., which include healthcare,
dental care, Medicare Part B reimbursement and life insurance benefits.

Pension Assets
The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined based on a variety of considerations, including the established
asset allocation targets and expectations for those asset classes, historical returns of the plans’ assets and other market
considerations. We invest our pension assets with the objective of achieving a total rate of return, over the long term, sufficient to
fund future pension obligations and to minimize future pension contributions. We are willing to tolerate a commensurate level of
risk to achieve this objective based on the funded status of the plans and the long-term nature of our pension liability. Risk is
controlled by maintaining a portfolio of assets that is diversified across a variety of asset classes, investment styles and investment
managers. All of the assets are managed by external investment managers, and the majority of the assets are actively managed.
Where possible, investment managers are prohibited from owning our stock in the portfolios that they manage on our behalf.
For U.S. plan assets, which represent the majority of our plan assets, asset allocation target ranges are established consistent with
our investment objectives, and the assets are rebalanced periodically. For foreign plan assets, allocations are based on expected
cash flow needs and assessments of the local practices and markets. Our target allocation ranges are as follows:
U.S. Plan Assets
Domestic equity securities
International equity securities
Debt securities
Private equity partnerships
Real estate
Hedge funds
Foreign Plan Assets

Cash equivalents and equity and debt securities include comingled funds, which represent investments in funds offered to
institutional investors that are similar to mutual funds in that they provide diversification by holding various equity and debt
securities. Since these comingled funds are not quoted on any active market, they are priced based on the relative value of the
underlying equity and debt investments and their individual prices at any given time; accordingly, they are classified as Level 2.
Debt securities are valued based on same day actual trading prices, if available. If such prices are not available, we use a matrix
pricing model with historical prices, trends and other factors.
Private equity partnerships represent investments in funds, which, in turn, invest in stocks and debt securities of companies that, in
most cases, are not publicly traded. These partnerships are valued using income and market methods that include cash flow
projections and market multiples for various comparable companies. Real estate includes owned properties and investments in
partnerships. Owned properties are valued using certified appraisals at least every three years, which then are updated at least
annually by the real estate investment manager, who considers current market trends and other available information. These
appraisals generally use the standard methods for valuing real estate, including forecasting income and identifying current
transactions for comparable real estate to arrive at a fair value. Real estate partnerships are valued similar to private equity
partnerships, with the general partner using standard real estate valuation methods to value the real estate properties and securities
held within their fund portfolios. We believe these assumptions are consistent with assumptions that market participants would use
in valuing these investments.
Hedge funds represent an investment in a diversified fund of hedge funds of which we are the sole investor. The fund invests in
portfolio funds that are not publicly traded and are managed by various portfolio managers. Investments in portfolio funds are
typically valued on the basis of the most recent price or valuation provided by the relevant fund’s administrator. The administrator
for the fund aggregates these valuations with the other assets and liabilities to calculate the net asset value of the fund.

Estimated Future Cash Flow Impact
Defined benefits under salaried plans are based on salary and years of service. Hourly plans generally provide benefits based on
stated amounts for each year of service. Our funding policy is consistent with applicable laws and regulations. In 2013, we expect
to contribute approximately $180 million to fund our qualified pension plans, non-qualified plans and foreign plans. Additionally,
we expect to contribute $22 million to the RAP. We do not expect to contribute to our other postretirement benefit plans. Benefit

The amount of income taxes we pay is subject to ongoing audits by U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. tax authorities, which may
result in proposed assessments. Our estimate for the potential outcome for any uncertain tax issue is highly judgmental. We
assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation
of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions for which it is more likely than
not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we record the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being
realized upon settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Interest and penalties are
accrued, where applicable. If we do not believe that it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit
is recognized.
Our future results may include favorable or unfavorable adjustments to our estimated tax liabilities due to settlement of income tax
examinations, new regulatory or judicial pronouncements, expiration of statutes of limitations or other relevant events. As a result,
our effective tax rate may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly and annual basis.
Our unrecognized tax benefits represent tax positions for which reserves have been established. Unrecognized state tax benefits
and interest related to unrecognized tax benefits are reflected net of applicable tax benefits. A reconciliation of our unrecognized
tax benefits, excluding accrued interest, is as follows:

Balance at beginning of year
Additions for tax positions related to current year
Additions for tax positions of prior years
Reductions for tax positions of prior years
Reductions for expiration of statute of limitations and settlements

At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, approximately $204 million and $206 million, respectively, of these unrecognized
tax benefits, if recognized, would favorably affect our effective tax rate in a future period. The remaining $86 million in
unrecognized tax benefits were related to discontinued operations. Based on the outcome of appeals proceedings and the
expiration of statutes of limitations, it is possible that certain audit cycles for U.S. and foreign jurisdictions could be completed
during the next 12 months, which could result in a change in our balance of unrecognized tax benefits with the aggregate tax effect
of the differences between tax return positions and the benefits being recognized in our financial statements. Although the
outcome of these matters cannot be determined, we believe adequate provision has been made for any potential unfavorable
financial statement impact.
In the normal course of business, we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including major
jurisdictions such as Canada, China, Germany, Japan and the U.S. With few exceptions, we no longer are subject to U.S. federal,
state and local income tax examinations for years before 1997. We are no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations in
our major jurisdictions for years before 2005.
During 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized net tax-related interest expense totaling approximately $9 million, $10 million and
$19 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. At December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had a
total of $134 million and $132 million, respectively, of net accrued interest expense included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

We believe that our earnings during the periods when the temporary differences become deductible will be sufficient to realize the
related future income tax benefits. For those jurisdictions where the expiration date of tax carryforwards or the projected operating
results indicate that realization is not more than likely, a valuation allowance is provided.

The undistributed earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries approximated $604 million at December 29, 2012. We consider the
undistributed earnings to be indefinitely reinvested; therefore, we have not provided a deferred tax liability for any residual U.S.
tax that may be due upon repatriation of these earnings. Because of the effect of U.S. foreign tax credits, it is not practicable to
estimate the amount of tax that might be payable on these earnings in the event they no longer are indefinitely reinvested.

Note 15. Contingencies and Commitments
We are subject to legal proceedings and other claims arising out of the conduct of our business, including proceedings and claims
relating to commercial and financial transactions; government contracts; compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
production partners; product liability; employment; and environmental, safety and health matters. Some of these legal proceedings
and claims seek damages, fines or penalties in substantial amounts or remediation of environmental contamination. As a
government contractor, we are subject to audits, reviews and investigations to determine whether our operations are being
conducted in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. Under federal government procurement regulations, certain
claims brought by the U.S. Government could result in our being suspended or debarred from U.S. Government contracting for a
period of time. On the basis of information presently available, we do not believe that existing proceedings and claims will have a
material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into standby letter of credit agreements and surety bonds with financial institutions to
meet various performance and other obligations. These outstanding letter of credit arrangements and surety bonds aggregated to
approximately $323 million and $260 million at the end of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Environmental Remediation
As with other industrial enterprises engaged in similar businesses, we are involved in a number of remedial actions under various
federal and state laws and regulations relating to the environment that impose liability on companies to clean up, or contribute to
the cost of cleaning up, sites on which hazardous wastes or materials were disposed or released. Our accrued environmental
liabilities relate to installation of remediation systems, disposal costs, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency oversight costs, legal
fees, and operating and maintenance costs for both currently and formerly owned or operated facilities. Circumstances that can
affect the reliability and precision of the accruals include the identification of additional sites, environmental regulations, level of
cleanup required, technologies available, number and financial condition of other contributors to remediation and the time period
over which remediation may occur. We believe that any changes to the accruals that may result from these factors and
uncertainties will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Based upon information currently available, we estimate that our potential environmental liabilities are within the range of $44
million to $188 million. At December 29, 2012, environmental reserves of approximately $73 million have been established to
address these specific estimated liabilities. We estimate that we will likely pay our accrued environmental remediation liabilities
over the next five to 10 years and have classified $20 million as current liabilities. Expenditures to evaluate and remediate
contaminated sites approximated $15 million, $9 million and $10 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
Leases
Rental expense approximated $97 million in 2012, $93 million in 2011 and $92 million in 2010. Future minimum rental
commitments for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 29, 2012 approximated $58 million for 2013, $46 million
for 2014, $37 million for 2015, $31 million for 2016, $22 million for 2017 and a total of $150 million thereafter.

settlements related to the IRS’s challenge of tax deductions claimed in prior years for certain leveraged lease transactions.
Textron Inc. Annual Report ● 2012 79
Note 17. Segment and Geographic Data
We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Cessna, Bell, Textron Systems,
Industrial and Finance. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1.
Cessna products include Citation business jets, Caravan turboprops, single-engine piston aircraft, and aftermarket services sold to a
diverse base of corporate and individual buyers.
Bell products include military and commercial helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft and related spare parts and services for U.S. and non-
U.S. governments in the defense and aerospace industries and general aviation markets.
Textron Systems products include armored security vehicles, advanced marine craft, precision weapons, airborne and ground-
based surveillance systems and services, Unmanned Aircraft Systems, training and simulation systems and countersniper devices,
and intelligence and situational awareness software for U.S. and non-U.S. governments in the defense and aerospace industries and
general aviation markets.
Industrial products and markets include the following:
• Kautex products include blow-molded plastic fuel systems, windshield and headlamp washer systems, selective catalytic
reduction systems, engine camshafts and other parts that are marketed primarily to automobile original equipment
manufacturers, as well as plastic bottles and containers for various uses;
• Greenlee products include powered equipment, electrical test and measurement instruments, hand and hydraulic powered
tools, and electrical and fiber optic assemblies, principally used in the electrical construction and maintenance, plumbing,
wiring, telecommunications and data communications industries; and
• E-Z-GO and Jacobsen products include golf cars; professional turf-maintenance equipment; and off-road, utility, light
transportation and specialized turf-care vehicles that are marketed primarily to golf courses, resort communities,
municipalities, sporting venues, and commercial and industrial users.
The Finance segment provides commercial loans and leases for new Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters and, to a limited extent,
for new E-Z-GO and Jacobsen equipment through our captive finance business.
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 excludes special charges and includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest expense.
Provisions for losses on finance receivables involving the sale or lease of our products are recorded by the selling manufacturing
division when our Finance group has recourse to the Manufacturing group.
Our revenues by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit (loss) to income from continuing operations before income
taxes, are as follows:

Disclosure Controls and Procedures — We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and our Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
