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.

to liquidate the majority of the remaining $370 million in  
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

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:

PART I 

Item 1. Business 

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 
10-K refers to our continuing businesses unless otherwise indicated. 

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 Segment 
Bell Helicopter is one of the leading suppliers of military and commercial helicopters, tiltrotor aircraft, and related spare parts and 
services in the world.  Revenues for Bell accounted for approximately 35%, 31% and 31% of our total revenues in 2012, 2011 and 
2010, respectively.  Revenues by Bell’s principal lines of business were as follows:

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, 
product support and reputation.  Revenues by Textron Systems’ product lines were as follows:

critical  situational  awareness  and  actionable  intelligence  for  users  worldwide.    AAI  Logistics  &  Technical  Services  provides 
logistical  support  for  various  unmanned  aircraft  systems  as  well  as  training  and  supply  chain  services  to  government  and 
commercial customers worldwide. 

Land and Marine Systems 
The Land and Marine Systems business is operated as Textron Marine & Land Systems (TMLS).  TMLS is a world leader in the 
design,  production  and  support  of  armored  vehicles,  turrets  and  related  subsystems  as  well  as  advanced  marine  craft.    TMLS 
produces a family of extremely mobile, highly protective vehicles for the U.S. Army and international allies.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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,

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.

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

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.

An analysis of our consolidated operating results is provided below and a more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results 
is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 21 to 30. 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Revenues  at  Textron  Systems  decreased  $107  million,  5%,  in  2011,  compared  with  2010,  primarily  due  to  lower  volume, 
reflecting the following changes: 

•  Lower UAS volume of $84 million, largely due to lower deliveries and to the timing of revenues from various programs. 
•  Lower Mission Support and Other product line volume of $56 million, largely due to the completion of several test and 

training programs and lower intelligence systems volume. 

•  Higher Land & Marine volume of $18 million, primarily related to Armored Security Vehicles. 
•  Higher Weapons and Sensors revenues of $10 million, largely due to higher Sensor Fuzed Weapon volume. 

Textron  Systems’  operating  expenses  decreased  $18  million,  1%,  in  2011,  compared  with  2010,  primarily  due  to  the  lower 
volume, which was partially offset by the $41 million intangible asset impairment charge and $19 million, primarily in severance 
costs related to the workforce reduction taken in 2011.

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.

Industrial segment revenues increased $261 million, 10%, in 2011 from 2010.  Volume increased and mix improved largely due to 
a  $117  million  increase  in  the  Fuel  Systems  and  Functional  Components  product  line,  reflecting  higher  automotive  industry 
demand,  and  $21  million  in  the  Other  Industrial  product  lines,  largely  related  to  the  Powered  Tools,  Testing  and  Measurement 
Equipment  product  line  reflecting  higher  sales  in  North  America  and  Europe.    The  favorable  foreign  exchange  impact  was 
primarily related to strengthening of the euro, which mostly impacted the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line.  
Higher  Other  Industrial  revenues  of  $78  million  included  a  $27  million  impact  from  acquisitions  and  improved  pricing  of  $20 
million, in addition to the higher volume. 

Operating expenses for the Industrial segment increased $221 million, 9%, in 2011, compared with 2010, primarily due to a $115 
million  increase  in  direct  material  costs  due  to  higher  sales  volume,  a  $68  million  impact  from  foreign  exchange  related  to 
strengthening of the euro, and $40 million in inflation for direct materials related to various commodity and material components 
throughout the segment.

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. 

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

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

Textron  has  a  senior  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  that  expires  in  March  2015  for  an  aggregate  principal  amount  of  $1.0 
billion, up to $200 million of which is available for the issuance of letters of credit.  At December 29, 2012, there were no amounts 
borrowed against the facility, and there were $37 million of letters of credits issued against it.  We also maintain an effective shelf 
registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public 
debt and other securities.   

At  December  29,  2012,  the  principal  amount  of  our  convertible  notes  outstanding  was  $215  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 
trading day preceding their May 1, 2013 maturity date.  We may deliver shares of common stock, cash or a combination of cash 
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.

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

(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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, we recorded a $41 million impairment charge to write down $37 million in customer agreements and 
contractual relationships and $4 million in patents and technology.  See Note 9 for more information on this charge.  

Amortization  expense  totaled  $40  million,  $51  million  and  $52  million  in  2012,  2011  and  2010,  respectively.    Amortization 
expense is estimated to be approximately $36 million, $35 million, $34 million, $28 million and $24 million in 2013, 2014, 2015, 
2016 and 2017, respectively.

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.

Captive and Other Intercompany Financing 
Our Finance group provides financing for retail purchases and leases for new and used aircraft and equipment manufactured by our 
Manufacturing group.  The captive finance receivables for these inventory sales that are included in the Finance group’s balance 
sheets are summarized below:

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.

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.

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 
instruments,  which  are  categorized  as  Level  2  in  the  fair value hierarchy.    The fair value  amounts of  these  instruments  that  are 
designated as hedging instruments are provided below:

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.

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

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.  

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

value are as follows:

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:

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

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:

Performance Share Units 
The fair value of share-based compensation awards accounted for as liabilities includes performance share units, which are paid in 
cash in the first quarter of the year following vesting.  Payouts under performance share units vary based on certain performance 
criteria generally set for each year of a three-year performance period.  The performance share units vest at the end of three years.  
The fair value of these awards is based on the trading price of our common stock and is remeasured at each reporting period date.

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.

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 current federal and state provisions for 2012 and 2011 included $25 million and $37 million, respectively, of tax related to the 
sale of certain leveraged leases in the Finance segment for which we had previously recorded significant deferred tax liabilities.

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: 

(In millions) 
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.

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:

Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”)) as of the end of the fiscal year 
covered by this report.  Based upon that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are 
effective  in providing  reasonable  assurance  that  (a)  the  information  required  to  be  disclosed by us  in  the  reports  that  we  file or 
submit  under  the  Act  is  recorded,  processed,  summarized  and  reported  within  the  time  periods  specified  in  the  Securities  and 
Exchange  Commission’s  rules  and  forms,  and  (b)  such  information  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to  our  management, 
including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
