Fellow 
Shareholders,

For Textron, 2013 was a pivotal year. We realized $12.1 billion in total revenues and 

saw an operating profi t of $963 million. In our Industrial segment, acquisition and 

product innovation led to a four percent increase in revenues compared to 2012. 

At Bell Helicopter, the delivery of 41 V-22s and a double-digit rise in commercial 

deliveries contributed to a six percent increase in revenues over last year. The 

certifi cation of three new Cessna models in 2013 positioned us for future growth 

as global markets gain momentum. At Textron Systems, we steadily grew our 

international customer base, capturing signifi cant contracts from new customers in 

the Middle East and Asia Pacifi c regions.

Innovation to Drive Growth

Across all of our businesses, innovation matters—

and this was the year we set out to prove it. 
Anticipating the military’s next generation 
rotorcraft needs, Bell Helicopter presented 

the V-280 Valor as the ready contender for the U.S. 
Department of Defense’s future vertical lift program 
and a viable option for foreign military applications. 
Upgrades to our unmanned aircraft systems 
allowed for broader, more strategic missions while 
enhancements to our intelligence-gathering software 
improved analysts’ ability to view and customize 
critical data. We introduced our expanded family of 
COMMANDO™ armored vehicles to equip soldiers 
with a greater range of fi repower, as well as a vehicle 
for safe to-and-from-base transport. Additionally, for 
global military customers, Textron AirLand launched 
the successful fi rst fl ight of our Scorpion intelligence, 
surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft, making it 
one of the fastest-developed, American-made, tactical 
jets—progressing from initial design to fi rst fl ight in 
less than 24 months.

For commercial customers, Bell Helicopter announced 
plans to return to the short-light single-engine 
helicopter market with a modern version of its popular 
JetRanger™. Also in 2013, Bell Helicopter made 
enhancements to several products in its lineup, offering 
customers improved situational awareness and safety; 
greater landing and taxiing maneuverability; and 
increased speed, range and load capacities. In addition 
to certifying new models for delivery in 2013, Cessna 
introduced advanced diagnostic service technology in 
new Citations and continued to hit major production 
milestones for the Citation X+ and Latitude. Across 
our Industrial segment, we introduced more than 30 
new products for our warehousing, industrial transport, 
turf care, utility and electrician customers; upgraded 
several of our most popular golf cars and rugged 
outdoor sporting vehicles for a more comfortable and 
quieter ride; and saw innovation deliver value in the 
form of major contracts for Kautex carbon canisters 
and catalytic reduction systems for some of the world’s 
largest automakers.

Extended Reach to Capture More Business

Our focus on strengthening customer relationships 
led to several important expansions in 2013. In our 
Industrial segment, we increased our international 
sales capacity at Jacobsen and Greenlee; added 
more than 130 new E-Z-GO dealers to our domestic 
distribution network; and opened new Klauke 
manufacturing facilities in China and Mexico, and sales 
and distribution locations in Poland and Spain. In our 
aerospace businesses, Cessna continued to establish 
its manufacturing presence in China; Bell Helicopter 
expanded its service offerings in England, Russia and 
Singapore and made a number of “fi rst” deliveries to 
customers in Europe, Latin America and Asia.   

In our military businesses our focus on critical 
customer requirements delivered big program wins for 
us globally. In the U.S., we signed a second, multi-year 
V-22 contract valued at $6.5 billion. Overseas, we won 
major new government contracts in 2013 worth more 
than $700 million to build precision weapons for the 
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, additional armored vehicles 
and training services for the Afghan National Army, 
and armored personnel carriers and technical support 
services for the Colombian Army.   

Portfolio Expansion to Support Growth

Over the course of the year, we completed six 
strategic acquisitions—two that expand our offerings 
to the power utility market, two that expand our 
fl ight simulation and training services for military and 
commercial aviation markets and two that expand 

our global service center network. In a move that 
complements our aerospace business, we signed 
an agreement to acquire Beech Holdings, the parent 
company of Beechcraft—a name well known for its 
business, special mission, light attack, and trainer 
aircraft.  

Confi dence in Our Future

Our teams made great progress in 2013 as we brought 
important new products to the market, continued to 
increase our sales and service resources around the 
world and made acquisitions that expand our product 
and service offerings to customers.

Entering 2014, I am confi dent that we have the right 
people in the right places and that our teams are 
taking the right actions. By continuing to grow our 
capabilities—both in terms of our talent and our 
operations—we will see even greater gains for our 
shareholders, our customers and our employees alike 
in the coming year. I look forward to being a part of it.

On both the commercial and military sides, innovation was also 
a driving force in 2013. At the Paris Air Show, we announced to 
commercial customers our plans to manufacture the Bell 505 Jet 
Ranger XTM, a new, short-light single-engine helicopter. We also 
introduced customer-driven upgrades to our fl eet with the Bell 
412EPITM, the 407GTTM and the 429WLGTM. For our military customers, 
we leveraged our tiltrotor technology and introduced the Bell V-280 
Valor to compete for the Department of Defense’s Future Vertical Lift 
long-term program. This program is expected to eventually replace 
2,000 to 4,000 medium-class utility and attack helicopters and be 
worth an estimated $100 billion—with additional potential for foreign 
military sales.  

At Bell Helicopter, customer relationships extend beyond the sale of 
the aircraft. This is evidenced by the fact that our customer service 
and support remained a hallmark in 2013. For the 20th consecutive 
year, we ranked fi rst for customer service and support among 
readers of Professional Pilot and placed fi rst in product support and 
service by readers of Aviation International News. These accolades 
are especially gratifying because they come from our customers—
owners and operators with very high expectations for the operability 
and safety of their rotorcraft. Emphasizing our commitment to safety, 
we also hosted three international safety symposia to educate pilots 
and technicians on common safety practices and applications.  

Moving into 2014, we plan to build on our 2013 successes. We will 
grow our presence around the world by demonstrating a steadfast 
commitment to product innovation and sales and service networks 
that meet the exacting requirements of our customers—so they 
complete every mission safe and sound. 

   Bell Helicopter   |   4

In 2013, Bell Helicopter performed well for customers, 
making a record number of military and commercial 
rotorcraft deliveries. This helped our full-year revenues 
increase from $4.3 billion in 2012 to $4.5 billion in 2013. 
We also saw a steady stream of new orders throughout 2013 
and introduced new products and product upgrades that will 
serve the mission needs of our customers for years to come.  

Executing on existing orders, we delivered 213 commercial 

aircraft, a 13 percent increase over the 188 aircraft delivered 
in 2012. Many of those were “fi rsts” delivered to international 
customers—helping to further strengthen our global presence. 

Poland, Russia and Switzerland took delivery of their fi rst 407GXTM, 
the U.K. and Nigeria took delivery of their fi rst 429TM, and United Arab 
Emirates was the fi rst country to take delivery of the new 412EPITM. 
This strong slate of deliveries also extended to the military, with the 
delivery of 41 V-22s and 25 H-1s to customers. Among these was the 
fi rst HMX-V22 that serves presidential and other special missions.  

To help us seize new global opportunities and support continued 
strong international deliveries, in 2013, we expanded our sales 
teams around the world. On the commercial side, this led to a year-
over-year increase in orders for new rotorcraft in both our U.S. and 
international markets—including a 50 percent rise in orders from 
China. In our military business, we entered into an agreement with 
the U.S. government to deliver 99 V-22s as part of a fi ve-year, $6.5 
billion contract. Refl ecting the growing interest abroad in the tiltrotor 
program, the Department of Defense informed Congress of its intent 
to sell six V-22s to Israel.

Against a backdrop of U.S. defense budget uncertainty, 
Textron Systems maintained a steady focus on building 
customer relationships around the world and enhancing 
its ability to serve customers’ end-to-end mission needs. 
Efforts to grow international business led to an 11 percent 
increase in non-U.S. revenues in 2013 compared to 2012. 
To strengthen our ability to serve military and non-military 
customers beyond “point of sale,” we acquired two fl ight 
simulation and training companies—Mechtronix, based in 
Canada, and OPINICUS in the U.S.—and combined them with 
our existing training and simulation business to form Textron 
Simulation & Training Systems. 

Across our defense businesses, quickly identifying customer 

requirements and proposing solutions that demonstrate an in-
depth understanding of conditions in the fi eld produced
 major new international contract wins in 2013. Textron Defense 

Systems won a $641 million foreign military sales contract to build 
precision weapon systems for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and 
signed a Foreign Military Sale agreement for additional precision 
weapons for the Republic of Korea. Textron Marine & Land Systems 
won more than $150 million in multinational contracts to build 
additional armored vehicles and provide training services for the 
Afghan National Army, and additional armored personnel carriers, 
armored turrets, and technical support services for the Colombian 
Army. These wins were in addition to a contract to improve the 
survivability of the U.S. Army’s HMMWV light tactical vehicles. In 
2013, AAI won a mix of foreign and domestic contracts to install 

advanced systems that ensure the aligned operation of aircraft 
weapons, navigation and sensor sub-systems; provide logistics 
to support the smooth operation of hydraulic components used in 
today’s tactical aircraft; lessen the load of lightweight arms carried 
by U.S. soldiers; and deliver additional aircraft simulation and training 
systems for the U.S. Army.  

In terms of innovation aligned with customer needs, in 2013, Textron 
Marine & Land Systems introduced three new COMMANDO™ vehicles; 
two that deliver more fi repower in a highly protected armored 
vehicle and one offering ease of ground transport; AAI extended the 
range of its latest unmanned aircraft to support broader and more 
strategic war zone missions; and Overwatch enhanced its intelligence 
gathering software for a better user interface and improved analyst 
productivity. At Lycoming, 2013 brought several developments 
aimed at improved performance—chief among them, installation 
of Lycoming-manufactured engines in our fee-for-service unmanned 
aircraft systems.     

We also achieved signifi cant milestones throughout the year. We 
reached more than 900,000 Shadow® and Aersonde® unmanned 
aircraft fl ight hours; delivered the 500th fl ight line electronic 
warfare test system; and consistently hit key program dates for 
next-generation U.S. Navy landing craft and Canadian Armed Forces 
armored vehicles. Looking back at these milestones and our wins 
in 2013, we enter 2014 confi dent in our ability to meet critical 
customer needs around the world. The relationships we’ve built with 
our domestic and international customers, our extended capability 
to provide full life-cycle solutions and the people we’ve placed around 
the world position us for ongoing success.

Working with these export credit agencies has been a critical part 
of attracting international customers.

Having a strong fi nancial service business to facilitate the loans 
and leases of our aircraft and rotorcraft is a winning proposition 
for us and our customers. As an example of this, funding through 
Textron Financial in 2013 supported the sale of 66 new aircraft 
for Cessna and Bell Helicopter in 2013, including a number of 
important rotocraft deliveries for the oil and gas industry. 

Moving into 2014, our fi nancing business intends to remain 
focused on providing a seamless process for customers 
to purchase and fi nance our products. Doing this helps us 
strengthen our relationship with the customer and sets a path for 
future sales opportunities around the world.  

At Textron Financial, in 2013, we largely completed the 
execution of our non-captive portfolio liquidation plan 
that began in 2008 to exit the fi nancing of non-Textron 
brands. Of fi nance receivables totaling $1.5 billion in 
2013, only $185 million represent our remaining non-
captive receivables. Concentrating on fi nancing the 
purchase of our own manufactured brands helped us post 
$132 million in revenues for the segment and a segment 
profi t of $49 million in 2013.  

Refl ecting efforts across the company to grow international 

business, 60 percent of the loans we originated in 2013 
were for non-U.S. customers. A large portion—90 
percent—of that non-U.S. fi nancing was offered through 

our key strategic relationship with the Export-Import Bank of the 
United States and Export Development Canada.

Footnote to Selected Year-Over-Year Financial Data  

1 We use Manufacturing cash fl ow before pension contributions as our measure of free cash fl ow. This measure is not a fi nancial measure under 
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and should be used in conjunction with GAAP cash measures provided in our Consolidated 
Statements of Cash Flows. Free cash fl ow 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 defi nition of Manufacturing cash fl ow before pension contributions adjusts net cash from operating activities of continuing operations for the 
Manufacturing group for dividends received from TFC, capital contributions provided under the Support Agreement and debt agreements, 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 defi nitive accounting standard on how the measure 
should be calculated. A reconciliation of net cash from operating activities of continuing operations for the Manufacturing group as presented in 
our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to Manufacturing cash fl ow 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 32,000 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 15 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements on pages 75 through 76 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 18 through 37 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  and  single-engine  utility  and 
high-performance piston aircraft.  Aftermarket services include parts, maintenance, inspection and repair services.  Revenues in the 
Cessna  segment  accounted  for  approximately  23%,  25%  and  26%  of  our  total  revenues  in  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively.  
Revenues for Cessna’s principal lines of business were as follows:

The family of jets currently produced by Cessna includes the Mustang, Citation M2, Citation CJ2+, Citation CJ3, Citation CJ4, 
Citation XLS+ and the new Citation Sovereign+.  The new Citation X+, recently verified by the FAA as the fastest civilian jet in 
the world, is expected to be certified in early 2014.  In addition, Cessna is developing the Citation Latitude, a midsize business jet 
scheduled  for first  flight  in 2014  and  expected  to enter  into  service  in 2015,  as well  as  the  Citation Longitude,  a  super  midsize 
business jet expected to enter into service in 2017. 

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 air taxi service, humanitarian 
flights,  tourism  and  freight  transport.    Cessna  also  offers  a  single-engine  piston  product  line  that  includes  the  Skyhawk  SP,  
Stationair and the new high performance TTx which we began delivering during 2013.  The Turbo Skylane JT-A, Cessna’s first 
Jet-A fueled piston aircraft, is expected to be certified and to begin delivering in 2014.  

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, direct operating costs, product support and reputation.

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 37%, 35% and 31% of our total revenues in 2013, 2012 and 
2011, 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).  During 2013, the Bell Boeing V-22 program was awarded a five-year contract for the production and delivery of 
an additional 99 V-22 tiltrotor aircraft from 2014 through 2019. 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 armed scout helicopter for the U.S. Army.  

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,  412EP/EPI,  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.  In addition, during 2013 Bell announced 
the  development  of  the  Bell  SLS,  a  high  performance,  short-light  single  helicopter,  which  will  reenter  Bell  into  the  market  it 
created with the introduction of the original JetRanger. 

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 8 Bell-operated service centers, two of which are co-located with Cessna, 
106 independent service centers located in 34 countries and four 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, marine and land 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%, 14% and 17% of Textron’s revenues in 2013, 2012 and 
2011,  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:

Unmanned Aircraft Systems 
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) consists of the AAI UAS and AAI Logistics & Technical Services businesses.  AAI UAS has 
designed, manufactured and fielded combat-proven unmanned aircraft systems for more than 25 years, including the U.S. Army’s 
premier tactical UAS, the Shadow.  AAI UAS’s unmanned aircraft and interoperable command and control technologies provide 
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. 

Marine and Land Systems 
The Marine and Land 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, and is developing the 
U.S. Navy’s next generation air cushion vehicle.   

Weapons and Sensors 
The  Weapons  and  Sensors  business  is  operated  as  Textron  Defense  Systems  (TDS).    This  business  consists  of  state-of-the-art 
smart  weapons;  airborne  and ground-based sensors  and  surveillance  systems;  and  protection  systems  for  the  defense,  aerospace 
and homeland security industries.  TDS primarily sells its products to international allies through foreign military sales.   

Mission Support and Other 
Mission  Support  and  Other  includes  three  businesses:  AAI  Test  &  Training,  Lycoming  and  Overwatch.    AAI  Test  &  Training 
provides  high  technology  test  equipment  and  electronic  warfare  test  and  training  solutions.    Lycoming  specializes  in  the 
engineering,  manufacture,  service  and  support  of  piston  aircraft  engines  for  the  general  aviation  and  remotely  piloted  aircraft 
markets.    Overwatch,  operated  as  Overwatch  Geospatial  Solutions  and  Overwatch  Intelligence  Solutions,  provides  intelligence 
software solutions for U.S. and international defense, intelligence and law enforcement communities. 

In December 2013, we acquired two flight simulation and aircraft training product companies, Mechtronix, Inc. and OPINICUS 
Corporation. We intend to combine these businesses with our existing training and simulation business, currently included in the 
UAS  product  line,  which  serves  the  military  aircraft  market,  to  form  Textron  Simulation  &  Training  Systems.    This  business 
designs, develops, installs and provides maintenance of advanced full flight simulators for both rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft and 
designs, markets and supports aviation training products and related services for airlines, aircraft OEMs, flight training centers and 
training organizations worldwide.   

Industrial Segment 
Our  Industrial  segment  designs  and  manufactures  a  variety  of  products  under  three  principal  product  lines.    Industrial  segment 
revenues were as follows:

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%, 15% and 16% of our total revenues in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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.

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.  During  2013,  our  Greenlee  business  acquired  Sherman  &  Reilly,  Inc.,  a 
manufacturer  of  underground  and  aerial  transmission  and  distribution  products,  and  HD  Electric  Company,  a  designer  and 
manufacturer  of  power  utility  products.  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. The Finance segment provides financing primarily to purchasers of new Cessna aircraft and Bell 
helicopters as well as 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 U.S.  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 2013, 2012 and 2011, 
our Finance group paid our Manufacturing group $248 million, $309 million and $284 million, respectively, related to the sale of 
Textron-manufactured products to third parties that were financed by the Finance group.   

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  28  for 
information about the Finance segment’s credit performance.

Approximately 43% of our total backlog at December 28, 2013 represents orders that are not expected to be filled in 2014.  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  $2.7  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 2013, approximately 30% 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 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements 
on page 74 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 28, 2013, we had approximately 32,000 employees.

acquisitions do not perform as planned, including, for example, the risk that acquired businesses will not achieve revenue 
projections.  

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 2013, we derived approximately 30% 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 at 
risk  for  non-reimbursement  of  those  costs  until  additional  funds  are  appropriated.    The  reduction,  termination  or  delay  in  the 
timing of funding for U.S. Government programs for which we currently provide or propose to provide products or services may 
result  in  a  loss  of  anticipated  future  revenues  that  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.  

Under the Budget Control Act of 2011, the U.S. Government committed to significantly reduce the federal deficit over ten years. 
Notwithstanding the Bipartisan Budget Control Act of 2013, substantial spending cuts to the U.S. defense budget are likely in the 
future.    In  addition,  Congress  and  the  Administration  continue  to  debate  the  nation’s  debt  ceiling  and  other  fiscal  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  these  budget  cuts    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, results of operations 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, in the event that 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  make  disclosures  under  these  provisions  may  result  in  a  termination  for 
default or cause, suspension and/or debarment, and potential fines.   

In addition, the DoD’s “Better Buying Power Initiative,” which provides guidance for its acquisition workforce to obtain greater 
efficiency and productivity in defense spending, significantly affects 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 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 that 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 
incurred in performing under the contract, our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition 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.  
Continued  worldwide  economic  softness  has  adversely  impacted  the  business  jet  market  in  recent  years.  As  a  result,  we  have 
experienced  continued  weak  demand  for  our  fixed-wing  aircraft,  particularly  our  business  jets.  Soft  demand  for  our  jets  could 
persist  and  could  continue  to  adversely  impact  the  pricing  of  new  jets  and  the  valuation  of  pre-owned  jets,  which  comprise  a 
significant  portion  of  our  inventory.  A  prolonged  weakness  in the  markets  for  our  aircraft  products  could  adversely  impact  our 
results of operations and our future prospects.

 We may make acquisitions that increase the risks of our business. 
We may enter into acquisitions in an effort to expand our business and enhance shareholder value. Acquisitions involve risks and 
uncertainties that could result in our not achieving expected benefits.  Such risks include difficulties in integrating newly acquired 
businesses  and  operations  in  an  efficient  and  cost-effective  manner;  challenges  in  achieving  expected  strategic  objectives,  cost 
savings  and  other  benefits;  the  risk  that  the  acquired  businesses’  markets  do  not  evolve  as  anticipated  and  that  the  acquired 
businesses’  products  and  technologies  do  not  prove  to  be  those  needed  to  be  successful  in  those  markets;  the  risk  that  our  due 
diligence reviews of the acquired business do not identify or adequately assess all of the material issues which impact valuation of 
the business or that may result in costs or liabilities in excess of what we anticipated; the risk that we pay a purchase price that 
exceeds what the future results of operations would have merited; the risk that the acquired business may have significant internal 
control deficiencies or exposure to regulatory sanctions; and the potential loss of key customers, suppliers and employees of the 
acquired businesses.  In addition, unanticipated delays or difficulties in effecting acquisitions may prevent the consummation of 
the acquisition or divert the attention of our management and resources from our existing operations.  

On December 26, 2013 we entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which we will acquire all outstanding equity 
interests in Beech Holdings, LLC (“Beech”), the parent of Beechcraft Corporation, for approximately $1.4 billion in cash.  Each of 
the foregoing risks may impact the success of the Beech acquisition. We plan to finance the purchase of the equity in Beech and 
the  repayment  of  Beech’s outstanding debt,  which  is  required  at  closing,  through  a combination  of  available  cash  at  Beech  and 
Textron  and  up  to  $1.1  billion  in  new  debt.    While  we  believe  that  these  sources  of  funds  will  be  sufficient  to  complete  the 
transaction, it is possible that unanticipated cash requirements, for working capital or other business needs, either at Beech or at 
Textron, could cause us to incur borrowings in excess of what we currently anticipate.   

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.  Valuations of the types of collateral securing our finance asset portfolio, particularly valuations of pre-owned aircraft, 
have decreased over recent 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. 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.    

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, to support our operations 
and/or to make acquisitions. Although we currently have access to the capital markets, our access and the cost of borrowings are 
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.  

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 disruptions and security threats. 
Our information technology (IT) and related systems are critical to the smooth operation of our business and essential to our ability 
to  perform  day  to  day  operations.    From  time  to  time  we  update  and/or  replace  IT  systems  used  by  our  businesses.    The 
implementation of new systems can present temporary disruptions of business activities as existing processes are transitioned to 
the new systems, resulting in productivity issues, delays in production, shipments or other business operations.  In addition, we 
outsource  certain  support  functions,  including  certain  global  IT  infrastructure  services,  to  third-party  service  providers.  Any 
disruption of such outsourced processes or functions also could have a material adverse impact on our operations.  In addition, as a 
U.S. defense contractor, we face certain security threats, including threats to our IT 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.   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.  While we have experienced cyber attacks, we have not suffered any material losses relating to such attacks, and we 
believe  our  threat  detection  and  mitigation  processes  and  procedures  are  robust.   Due  to  the  evolving  nature  of  these  security 
threats,  the  possibility  of  any  future  material  incidents  cannot  be  completely  mitigated.  An  IT  system  failure,  issues  related  to 
implementation of new IT systems or breach of data security could disrupt our operations, cause the loss of business information 
or compromise confidential information. Such an incident also could require significant management attention and resources and 
increased costs, and could adversely affect our competitiveness and 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 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    our  research  and  development  investments  are  less  successful  than  expected  or  if  we  do  not  adequately  protect  the 
intellectual property developed through these 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.  
Conducting business internationally, including U.S. exports, exposes us to different and additional risks than if we conducted our 
business  solely  within  the  U.S.  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; technology transfer; 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 initially 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 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 maintain 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, both U.S. and 
foreign  governments  and  government  agencies  regulate  the  aviation  industry,  and  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.  New  or  changing  laws  and  regulations  or  related  interpretation  and  policies  could  increase  our  costs  of  doing 
business,  affect  how  we  conduct  our  operations,  adversely  impact  demand  for  our  products,  and/or  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 
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 

13    Textron Inc. Annual Report • 2013

 
 
 
 
  
 
 
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. 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 6,000 of our U.S. employees, or 26% of our total U.S. employees, are unionized, and approximately 2,900 of our 
non-U.S.  employees,  or  32%  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.  Currency  variations  also  contribute  to  variations  in  sales  of  products  and  services  in  impacted 
jurisdictions.  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.

None. 

Item 2. Properties 

On December 28, 2013, we operated a total of 52 plants located throughout the U.S. and 52 plants outside the U.S. We own 53 
plants  and  lease  the  remainder  for  a  total  manufacturing  space  of  approximately  21.1  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.  Plaintiffs  alleged  that  the  company  and  certain  of  its  present  and  former  employees,  officers  and 
directors  had  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. As reported in Textron’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 
2012,  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. On August 21, 2013, the Court entered an order preliminarily approving the settlement, certifying a settlement class, and 
approving  the  form  and  manner  of  class  notice.  On  February  10,  2014,  the  Court  entered  an  order  giving  final  approval  of  the 
settlement  and  final  judgment  in  the  case.    Neither  Textron  nor  any  of  the  other  defendants  in  the  settlement  admitted  any 
wrongdoing with respect to the allegations in the case.  

We also are subject to other actual and threatened 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, health and safety  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 suspension or debarment from U.S. Government contracting for a period of time. On the basis of

position or results of operations.

Issuer Repurchases of Equity Securities  
On January 23, 2013, the company announced the adoption of a new plan authorizing the repurchase of up to 25 million shares of 
Textron common stock.  This plan has no expiration date. There were no shares purchased under the plan during 2013. 

On  February  5,  2014,  we  entered  into  an  accelerated  share  repurchase  agreement  (ASR)  with  a  counterparty  to  repurchase  an 
aggregate of 4.3 million shares of our outstanding common stock from the counterparty for $150 million.  The ASR is scheduled to 
expire in December 2014. Upon final settlement of the ASR, we may receive additional shares or pay additional cash or shares, at 
our option, based on the daily volume weighted average market price of our common stock over the course of a calculation period, 
less a discount.

(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  and  $237  million  in  2010  and  2009,  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.   

(c)  For 2009, the potential dilutive effect of stock options, restricted stock units and the shares that could have been issued upon the conversion 
of  our  convertible  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.

 Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 

Overview and Consolidated Results of Operations 

For Textron, 2013 was an important year with significant new product introductions, strategic acquisitions and investments in the 
future of our businesses. During 2013, we accomplished the following:    

• 

Invested  $651  million  in  research  and  development  costs,  a  12%  increase  over  the  prior  year,  demonstrating  our 
commitment to expanding our current product lines across all of our businesses. As a result, we brought new products to 
market in many of our businesses, including the certification of two new models of Cessna aircraft, the Citation M2 and 
the Sovereign+ jet. 

•  Acquired six companies, including two flight simulation and aircraft training product companies for the Textron Systems 
segment, two companies to augment our Greenlee business in the Industrial segment and two service centers at Cessna for 
an aggregate cash payment of $196 million. 

•  Made $204 million in contributions to our pension plans and ended the year with an unfunded pension plan liability of 

$199 million, compared to $1.3 billion at the end of 2012.  

•  Reduced  our  debt-to-capital,  net  of  cash  ratio  to  15%  from  24%  in  the  prior  year,  in  part  due  to  the  maturity  of  our 

convertible senior notes and the settlement of the related call option and warrants. 

An analysis of our consolidated operating results is set forth below.  A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is 
provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 20 to 28.

Revenues decreased $133 million, 1%, in 2013, compared with 2012, as revenue decreases in the Cessna, Finance, and Textron 
Systems segments were partially offset by higher revenues in the Bell and Industrial segments.  The net revenue decrease included 
the following factors: 

•  Lower  Cessna  revenues  of  $327  million,  primarily  due  to  lower  Citation  jet  volume  of  $384  million  and  CitationAir 
volume  of  $114  million,  partially  offset  by  higher  aftermarket  volume  of  $65  million  and  higher  pre-owned  aircraft 
volume of $53 million. 

•  Lower  Finance  revenues  of  $83  million,  primarily  attributable  to  an  unfavorable  impact  of  $46  million  from  lower 
average finance receivables and a decrease of $25 million in revenues related to the resolution of a Timeshare account in 
2012. 

•  Lower  Textron  Systems  revenues  of  $72  million,  largely  due  to  lower  volume  of  $51  million  in  the  Marine  &  Land 

product line and lower volume of $28 million in the UAS product line.  

•  Higher Bell revenues of $237 million, largely due to higher volume of $163 million in our military programs, primarily 
reflecting higher V-22 deliveries and aftermarket volume, and $74 million of higher commercial revenues, largely due to 
higher aircraft volume. 

•  Higher  Industrial  segment  revenues  of  $112  million,  primarily  due  to  higher  volume  of  $58  million  and  the  impact  of 

acquisitions of $46 million.      

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

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.

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 84.6% in 2013, and 83.3% in both 2012 and 2011.   

Consolidated manufacturing cost of sales increased $112 million, 1%, in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily due to higher sales 
volume at Bell and the impact from businesses acquired in 2013, partially offset by lower sales at Cessna and Textron Systems.  In 
2013,  gross  margin  as  a  percentage  of  manufacturing  revenues  decreased  130  basis  points  primarily  due  to  unfavorable 
performance at Bell, largely due to manufacturing inefficiencies associated with labor disruptions resulting from negotiations with 
bargained  employees  and  with  the  implementation of  a  new  enterprise  resource planning system  in  the  first  quarter  of 2013,  as 
well as lower Citation jet and CitiationAir volume at Cessna.     

Selling  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  $39  million,  3%,  in  2013  compared  with  2012,  largely  due  to  a  reduction  in 
administrative expenses of $26 million and lower provision for loan losses of $20 million at the Finance segment, both primarily 
associated with the non-captive business. Selling and administrative expense was also impacted by $28 million in severance costs 
incurred in 2013 at Cessna, which were largely offset by a $27 million charge from an unfavorable arbitration award incurred in 
2012 at Cessna. 

In 2012, consolidated manufacturing cost of sales increased $711 million, 8%, 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 $30 million, 3%, 
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.

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 $39 million, 18%, in 2013, compared with 2012, and $34 million, 14%, in 2012 compared 
with 2011, primarily due to lower average debt outstanding.   

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.   

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.   

Income Tax Expense  
Our effective tax rate was 26.1% in 2013, 30.9% in 2012 and 28.1% in 2011, and generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory 
tax rate of 35% due to certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world, as well as research 
credits.  The jurisdictions with favorable tax rates that have the most significant effective tax rate impact in the periods presented 
include primarily Canada, Germany, 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 U.S.  Our effective tax rate will fluctuate based on the mix of earnings 
from our U.S. and non-U.S. operations.  In addition, 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 for 2013 includes a tax benefit that reduced the annual effective tax rate by approximately 
four percent.  We estimate our full year annual effective tax rate in 2014 to be approximately 31.5%.  For a full reconciliation of 
our effective tax rate to the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 35% see Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

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  and  certain  corporate  expenses.  The 
measurement for the Finance segment 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 30% of our 2013 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government.  For our segments that have 
significant contracts with the U.S. Government, we typically express changes in segment profit related to the government business 
in  terms  of volume,  changes  in  program  performance  or changes  in  contract  mix.    Changes  in volume  that  are  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.

In 2013, Cessna’s revenues decreased $327 million, 11%, compared with 2012, primarily due to lower Citation jet volume of $384 
million and lower CitationAir volume of $114 million, largely related to the wind-down of our fractional share business.  These 
decreases were partially offset by higher aftermarket volume of $65 million, largely due to increased service demand, and higher 
pre-owned aircraft volume of $53 million.  We delivered 139 Citation jets in 2013, compared with 181 jets in 2012.  During 2013, 
the portion of Cessna’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services increased to 33% of Cessna’s revenues, compared 
with 25% in the corresponding period of 2012, due to higher aftermarket volume and the impact of lower Citation jet revenues.   

Cessna’s operating expenses decreased $197 million, 7%, in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily due to lower sales volume as 
discussed  above.    The  volume-related  decrease  in  operating  expenses  was  partially  offset  by  $37  million  of  operating  costs 
incurred by service centers acquired at the beginning of 2013 and $33 million of inflation, largely due to higher pension expense of 
$17 million.   

Operating  expenses  in  2013  were  impacted  by  $28  million  in  severance  costs  incurred  during  the  first  half  of  the  year  in 
connection  with  a  voluntary  separation  program  offered  to  qualifying  salaried  employees  and  a  reduction  of  certain  direct 
production positions due to an adjustment of our production schedule.  Operating expenses in 2012 included a $27 million charge 
from an unfavorable arbitration award recorded in the fourth quarter.

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

Cessna’s operating expenses increased by $99 million, 3%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to the following: 

• 

• 

• 

$93 million in higher direct material costs, resulting from increased pre-owned aircraft sales volume and a change in the 
mix of jets sold during the period.  
$35 million in cost inflation, largely reflecting a $22 million favorable benefit recorded in 2011 related to the last-in, first-
out (LIFO) method of accounting for inventories. 
$27 million charge recorded in the fourth quarter of 2012 due to an unfavorable award an arbitration panel entered against 
Cessna as a result of an alleged breach of a supply agreement. 

These increases were partially offset by $33 million of cost reductions from improved factory efficiency and $24 million in lower 
engineering and development expenses.

Cessna Backlog 
Cessna’s  backlog  decreased  $44  million,  4%,  in  2013  and  $827  million,  44%,  in  2012.    The  decrease  in  backlog  in  2012  was 
mainly attributable to deliveries in excess of new orders and canceled Citation jet orders.

Bell’s major U.S. Government programs at this time are the V-22 tiltrotor aircraft and the H-1 helicopter platforms, which are both 
in  the  production  stage  and  represent  a  significant  portion  of  Bell’s  revenues  from  the  U.S.  Government.    During  the  second 
quarter of 2013, we signed the second multi-year V-22 contract for production and delivery of 99 units beginning in late 2014 with 
options for 23 additional aircraft.

Bell’s revenues increased $237 million, 6% in 2013, compared with 2012, due to the following factors: 

• 

• 

• 

$144 million increase in V-22 program volume largely due to higher aircraft deliveries, as we delivered 41 V-22 aircraft 
in 2013, compared with 39 aircraft in 2012. In addition, military aftermarket volume was higher by $35 million, reflecting 
increased support of fielded aircraft. 
$74 million increase in commercial revenues, largely due to higher aircraft volume, as we delivered 213 aircraft in 2013, 
compared  to  188  aircraft  in  2012.    This  increase  was  partially  offset  by  lower  commercial  aftermarket  revenue  of  $50 
million, largely due to lower volume, which in part, resulted from the conversion to a new enterprise resource planning 
system in the first quarter of 2013.  
$19  million  increase  in  other  military  volume,  reflecting higher H-1  deliveries.   We delivered 25 H-1  aircraft  in  2013, 
compared with 24 H-1 aircraft in 2012. 

Bell’s operating expenses increased $303 million, 8%, in 2013, respectively, compared with 2012, largely due to higher volume as 
described above and $68 million in unfavorable performance, which included $27 million in lower favorable profit adjustments on 
its  long-term  contracts.    The  unfavorable  performance  was  largely  due  to  manufacturing  inefficiencies  associated  with  labor 
disruptions  resulting  from  negotiations  with  bargained  employees  and  with  the  implementation  of  a  new  enterprise  resource 
planning system in the first quarter of 2013.  On October 13, 2013, Bell reached a new five-year collective bargaining agreement 
with  the  United  Automobile,  Aerospace  and  Agricultural  Implement  Workers  of  America  (UAW)  and  UAW  Local  218  which 
represents these employees.  The impact of these disruptions is expected to continue to depress Bell’s margins in 2014 as the costs 
for inventories manufactured in 2013 are realized as products are delivered.

Bell’s revenues increased $749 million, 21%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to higher volume, which included the 
following factors: 

• 

• 

• 

$476  million  increase  in  commercial  volume,  largely  related  to  higher  deliveries  reflecting  our  investment  in  new 
products and increased focus on commercial markets.  Bell delivered 188 commercial aircraft in 2012, compared with 125 
aircraft in 2011. 
$231  million  increase  in  volume  related  to  the  V-22  program,  primarily  reflecting  higher  deliveries  based  on  schedule 
requirements  and  higher  revenues  related  to  the  support  of  fielded  aircraft.    Bell  delivered  39  V-22  aircraft  in  2012, 
compared with 34 deliveries in 2011. 
$21  million  increase  in  other  military  volume  resulting  from  higher  deliveries  and  services  rendered  under  several 
programs, partially offset by lower spares and aftermarket volume.  Bell delivered 24 H-1 aircraft in 2012, compared with 
25 aircraft in 2011.  

Bell’s  operating  expenses  increased  $631  million,  21%,  in  2012,  compared  with  2011,  primarily  due  to  higher  sales  volume 
discussed above.

Revenues at Textron Systems decreased $135 million, 7%, in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily due to lower volume in the 
Marine & Land product line of $76 million, lower volume in the Mission Support and Other product line of $45 million and lower 
volume in Weapons and Sensors of $13 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  the  UAS  fee-for-service 
program, 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. 

UAS Fee-For-Service Program 
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 cost 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.  

In 2013, we recorded $15 million of charges for the UAS fee-for service program related to our estimate of costs to fulfill options 
that were exercised by the customer during the third quarter; these options extended the period of performance on the initial task 
orders  under  the  contracts  for  one  year.    We  continued  to  experience  unacceptable  quality  from  our  engine  supplier  for  this 
program and decided in the third quarter to transition the manufacture of the engine to our Lycoming business.  We believe this 
change will allow us to improve performance.

in 2011 of $19 million primarily in severance costs related to workforce reductions, $9 million in lower amortization expense on 
intangible assets and $8 million in lower net research and development costs, partially offset by the $37 million in charges related 
to the UAS fee-for-service program described above. 

Textron Systems Backlog 
In 2013, Textron Systems backlog decreased $116 million, 4%, largely due to deliveries in excess of new orders.  In 2012, Textron 
Systems  backlog  increased  $1.6  billion,  118%,  largely  due  to  additional  orders  in  the  UAS  and  Marine  &  Land  product  lines,

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.

Segment profit for the Industrial segment increased $27 million, 13%, in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily due to improved 
performance  of  which  $27  million  was  associated  with  the  Fuel  Systems  and  Functional  Components  product  line.  The  $22 
million unfavorable impact from inflation, net of pricing, was primarily in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product 
line, reflecting higher compensation and material costs.

Finance Revenues 
Finance segment revenues decreased $83 million in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily attributable to an unfavorable impact of 
$46  million,  attributable  to  lower  average  finance  receivables  of  $834  million.   Revenues  during  2013  were  also  lower  by  $25 
million due to the resolution of a Timeshare account that returned to accrual status in 2012. 

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 Profit (Loss) 
Finance segment profit decreased $15 million in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily resulting from the resolution of a Timeshare 
account in 2012 as discussed above, as well as an unfavorable impact of $25 million in net interest margin from lower average 
finance receivables.  These decreases were partially offset by lower administrative expenses of $26 million and lower provision for 
loan losses of $20 million, largely related to the downsizing of the non-captive business.  

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated 
with  its  majority-owned  subsidiaries  that  operate  in  the  Cessna,  Bell,  Textron  Systems  and  Industrial  segments.    The  Finance 
group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation (TFC) and its consolidated subsidiaries.  We 
designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.  Our Manufacturing group operations 
include  the  development,  production  and  delivery  of  tangible  goods  and  services,  while  our  Finance  group  provides  financial 
services.  Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts 
use different  measures  to  evaluate  each group’s performance.    To  support  those  evaluations, we present  balance  sheet  and  cash 
flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

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

We believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication 
of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of 
the capacity to add further leverage.  We believe that we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs, based on our existing 
cash  balances,  the  cash  we  expect  to  generate  from  our  manufacturing  operations  and  other  available  funding  alternatives,  as 
appropriate. 

On October 4, 2013, Textron entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 
billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit.  This facility expires in October 2018.  At 
December 28, 2013, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility, and there were $35 million of letters of credits issued 
against it.   

We 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.  On January 30, 2014, we issued $250 million in 3.65% notes due 2021 and 
$350 million in 4.30% notes due 2024 under this registration statement.  We plan to use the net proceeds of the issuance of these 
notes to finance a portion of the acquisition of all outstanding equity interests in Beech Holdings, LLC, the parent of Beechcraft 
Corporation, which we have agreed to purchase for approximately $1.4 billion in cash.  The transaction is expected to close during 
the first half of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.  If the transaction is not completed, 
or  the  related  merger  agreement  is  terminated,  on  or  before  December  31,  2014,  we  will  be  required  to  redeem  all  outstanding 
2021 notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  

On January 24, 2014, in order to finance the Beechcraft acquisition, we also entered into a five-year term loan with a syndicate of 
banks in the principal amount of $500 million which we intend to draw down upon the closing of the transaction.

We generated $658 million in cash from operating activities in 2013 on $914 million in Manufacturing group segment profit and 
$470  million  of  net  income.  The  $300  million  decrease  in  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  from  2012  was  largely  due  to a 
$429 million impact related to working capital requirements and $64 million in lower income from continuing operations, which 
were  partially  offset  by  $211  million  in  lower  contributions  to  our  pension  plans  in  2013.    The  most  significant  change  within 
working capital was a $230 million unfavorable impact resulting from net tax payments of $223 million in 2013, compared to net 
tax refunds of $7 million in 2012.  In addition, we had $165 million in cash inflows related to changes in inventory levels, largely 
at  Cessna,  which  was  more  than  offset  by  $264  million  of  cash  outflows  from  changes  in  accounts  receivable  and  accounts 
payable.  The change in inventory levels at Cessna was primarily related to lower pre-owned inventory, partially offset by higher 
inventory in support of new sales. 

In 2012, we generated $958 million in cash from operating activities 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 of $237 million 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 at Cessna primarily due to higher trade-in activities, which 
was largely offset by a reduction in net taxes paid.  

Pension contributions were $194 million, $405 million and $642 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  

Investing  cash  flows  in  2013,  2012  and  2011  primarily  included  capital  expenditures  of  $444  million,  $480  million,  and  $423 
million, respectively.  Cash flows from investing activities also included $196 million of cash used in 2013 for acquisitions of four 
businesses within our Textron Systems and Industrial segments and two service centers in our Cessna segment.   

In 2013, financing activities primarily consisted of the repayment of $528 million of outstanding debt, including the settlement of 
our convertible notes, which was partially offset by proceeds from a $150 million variable-rate term loan agreement.  In 2012, we 
generated  cash  from  financing  activities,  largely  due  to  the  receipt  of  $490  million  from  the  Finance  group  in  payment  of  its 
intergroup borrowing, partially offset by $272 million in share repurchases 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.    

Dividends 
Dividend payments to shareholders totaled $22 million, $17 million and $22 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

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 23, 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  beginning  in  2014  and  for  opportunistic  capital 
management purposes.  

On  February  5,  2014,  we  entered  into  an  accelerated  share  repurchase  agreement  (ASR)  with  a  counterparty  to  repurchase  an 
aggregate of 4.3 million shares of our outstanding common stock from the counterparty for $150 million.  The ASR is scheduled to 
expire in December 2014. Upon final settlement of the ASR, we may receive additional shares or pay additional cash or shares, at 
our option, based on the daily volume weighted average market price of our common stock over the course of a calculation period, 
less a discount.  

Capital Contributions Paid To and Dividends Received From the Finance Group 
Under  a  Support  Agreement  between  Textron  and  TFC,  Textron  is  required  to  maintain  a  controlling  interest  in  TFC.    The 
agreement  also  requires  Textron  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:

During 2013, we also made a $1 million capital contribution to TFC to fund the repurchase of a portion of TFC’s 6% Fixed-to-
Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes. 

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 Statements 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.

In  2013  and  2012,  the  Finance  group’s  cash  flows  from  operating  activities  were  primarily  impacted  by  changes  in  net  taxes 
received/paid and the impact of earnings.  Net tax refunds/(payments) were $49 million, $(43) million and $65 million in 2013, 
2012 and 2011, respectively. Net tax payments in 2012 included a settlement related to the Internal Revenue Service’s challenge of 
tax deductions claimed in prior years for certain leveraged lease transactions. 

Cash  flows  from  investing  activities  primarily  included  collections  on  finance  receivables  and  proceeds  from  sales  of  finance 
receivables and other finance assets totaling $853 million in 2013, $1.3 billion in 2012 and $1.9 billion in 2011, partially offset by 
financial receivable originations of $271 million in 2013, $331 million in 2012 and $471 million in 2011.   

Cash used in financing activities included principal payments on long-term debt of $743 million, $426 million and $756 million in 
2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These cash outflows were partially offset by proceeds from long term debt of $298 million, 
$106 million and $430 million, respectively.  In 2012, the Finance group also made cash payments totaling $493 million to the 
Manufacturing  group  related  to  intergroup  borrowings.    In  2011,  the  Finance  group  paid  $1.4  billion  against  the  outstanding 
balance on its bank line of credit.

Cash flows from operating activities decreased $122 million during 2013 as compared with 2012, largely due to a $133 million 
impact related to working capital requirements and lower earnings, which were partially offset by a $206 million impact of lower 
contributions  to  our  pension  plans  in  2013.    Significant  changes  within  working  capital  included  a  $138  million  unfavorable 
impact resulting from net taxes paid between the periods as net tax payments were $174 million and $36 million in 2013 and 2012, 
respectively,  and  $264  million  of  cash  outflows  related  to  changes  in  accounts  receivable  and  accounts  payable.  These  cash 
outflows were partially offset by $198 million of cash inflows related to changes in inventory levels, largely at Cessna, and a $141 
million impact from lower captive finance receivables.  

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 flows from investing activities included capital expenditures of $444 million, $480 million, and $423 million in 2013, 2012 
and 2011, respectively.  Collections on finance receivables and proceeds from sales of finance receivables and other finance assets 
totaled $368 million in 2013, $848 million in 2012 and $1.4 billion in 2011.  Cash flows from investing activities also included 
$196 million of cash used in 2013 for acquisitions of four businesses within our Textron Systems and Industrial segments and two 
service centers in our Cessna segment.   

Financing  activities  primarily  consisted  of  the  repayment  of  outstanding  long-term  debt  of  $1.3  billion,  $0.6  billion  and  $1.4 
billion  in  2013,  2012  and  2011,  respectively,  partially  offset  by  proceeds  from  the  issuance  of  long-term  debt  of  $448  million, 
$106 million and $926 million, in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cash used in financing activities also included $272 million 
of share repurchases in 2012 and repayments of $1.4 billion against the outstanding balance on our bank credit lines in 2011.     

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 11 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  2014,  we  expect  to  make  contributions  to  our  funded  pension  plans  of  approximately  $33  million  and 
approximately  $19  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 2015 through 2018 are estimated 
to be in the range of approximately $75 million to $130 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 28, 2013, 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, warranty and litigation reserves, have been excluded 
from the table due to the uncertainty of the timing of payments combined with the absence of historical trends to be used as a 
predictor for such payments. 

(3) Operating leases represent undiscounted obligations under noncancelable leases.  

(4) Purchase  obligations  include  undiscounted  amounts  committed  under  legally  enforceable  contracts  or  purchase  orders  for 
goods  and  services  with  defined  terms  as  to  price,  quantity  and  delivery  dates.    Approximately  40%  of  the  purchase 
obligations we disclose represent purchase orders issued for goods and services to be delivered under firm contracts with the 
U.S. Government for which we have full recourse under customary contract termination clauses.

(1)  Securitized  debt  payments  do  not  represent  contractual  obligations  of  the  Finance  group,  and  we  do  not  provide  legal 
recourse  to  investors  who  purchase  interests  in  the  securitizations  beyond  the  credit  enhancement  inherent  in  the  retained 
subordinate interests. 

(2)  Interest payments reflect the current interest rate paid on the related debt.  They do not include anticipated changes in market 

interest rates, which could have an impact on the interest rate according to the terms of the related debt.  

At  December  28,  2013,  the  Finance  group  also  had  $93  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. 

The following table sets forth the aggregate gross amount of all program profit adjustments that are included within segment profit

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  calculate  the  fair  value  of  each  reporting  unit,  primarily  using  discounted  cash  flows.  These  cash  flows  incorporate 
assumptions for short- and long-term revenue growth rates, operating margins and discount rates that 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.    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.  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.  If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment 
loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. 

Based on our annual impairment review, 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. 

35    Textron Inc. Annual Report • 2013 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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  2013,  the  assumed  expected  long-term  rate  of  return  on  plan  assets  used  in  calculating  pension 
expense was 7.56%, compared with 7.58% in 2012.  In 2013 and 2012, the assumed rate of return for our domestic plans, which 
represent approximately 90% of our total pension assets, was 7.75%.  A 50-basis-point decrease in this long-term rate of return in 
2013 would have increased pension expense for our domestic plans by approximately $25 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 2013, the weighted-
average discount rate used in calculating pension expense was 4.23%, compared with 4.94% in 2012.  For our domestic plans, the 
assumed discount rate was 4.25% in 2013, compared with 5.00% for 2012.  A 50-basis-point decrease in this discount rate in 2013 
would have increased pension expense for our domestic plans by approximately $31 million. 

The trend in healthcare costs is difficult to estimate, and it has an important effect on postretirement liabilities.  The 2013 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 2013 medical rate of 7.20% is assumed to decrease to 5.00% by 2021 and then remain at that level.  
The 2013 prescription drug rate of 7.20% is assumed to decrease to 5.00% by 2021 and then remain at that level.  See Note 11 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. 

Finance Receivables  
Finance  receivables  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  expected  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  finance 
receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to 
its  carrying  amount.    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  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  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.  This 
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.   

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 

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 $636 million and $664 million at the end of 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

The impact of foreign exchange rate changes for 2013 and 2012 from the prior year for each period is provided below:

Interest Rate Risks 
Our financial results are affected by changes in 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 with a strategy of matching floating-rate assets with floating-
rate liabilities that includes the use of interest rate exchange agreements.

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 (1992 Framework). 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 28, 2013. 

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 28, 2013, 
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.

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 28, 2013, based on criteria established in 
Internal  Control  –  Integrated  Framework  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway  Commission 
(1992 Framework) (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 
28, 2013, 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  28,  2013  and  December  29,  2012,  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 28, 2013 of Textron Inc. and our report dated February 14, 2014 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  28,  2013  and  December  29, 
2012,  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  28,  2013.    Our  audits  also  included  the  financial  statement 
schedule  contained  on  page  78.    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 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for 
each of the three years in the period ended December 28, 2013, 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 28, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control – 
Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (1992 Framework) and 
our report dated February 14, 2014 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) and its consolidated subsidiaries.  We designed this 
framework  to  enhance  our  borrowing  power  by  separating  the  Finance  group.  Our  Manufacturing  group  operations  include  the 
development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services.  Due to 
the  fundamental  differences  between  each  borrowing  group’s  activities,  investors,  rating  agencies  and  analysts  use  different 
measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information 
for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements. 

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 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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 2013, 2012 and 2011 by $29 million, $15 million and $54 million, respectively, ($18 million, $9 
million and $34 million after tax, or $0.06, $0.03 and $0.11 per diluted share, respectively).  For 2013, 2012 and 2011, the gross 
favorable program profit adjustments totaled $51 million, $88 million and $83 million, respectively. For 2013, 2012 and 2011, the 
gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $22 million, $73 million and $29 million, respectively.

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.   

Cash and Equivalents 
Cash and equivalents consist of cash and short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

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. 

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 calculate the fair value of each reporting unit, primarily using discounted cash flows.  The discounted cash flows incorporate 
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 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.  If the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the 
implied fair value, an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. 

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 64% of our gross intangible assets are amortized based on the cash flow streams used to value 
the  assets,  with  the  remaining  assets  amortized  using  the  straight-line  method.    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. 

Finance Receivables  
Finance receivables primarily include finance receivables classified as held for investment, and also include finance receivables 
classified as held for sale.  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 an 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  expected  future  cash  flows,  discounted  at  the  finance 
receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to 
its  carrying  amount.    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  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  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.    This 
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 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 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. These receivables 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 and 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. 

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 income (loss) (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  currency  exchange  rates  and  interest  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.

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  costs  per  claim,  contractual  recoveries  from  vendors  and  historical  and  anticipated  rates  of  warranty  claims, 
including  production  and  warranty  patterns  for  new  models.    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 $651 million, $584 million, and $525 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, 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. Business Acquisitions, Goodwill and Intangible Assets 

Pending Business Acquisition  
On December 26, 2013, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which we will acquire all outstanding equity 
interests in Beech Holdings, LLC (“Beech”), the parent of Beechcraft Corporation, for approximately $1.4 billion in cash.  Beech 
designs, builds and supports aircraft, including the King Air turboprops, piston-engine Baron and Bonanza, and the T-6 trainer and 
AT-6 light attack military aircraft.  Beech also has a global network of both factory-owned and authorized service centers. We plan 
to  finance  the  purchase  of  the  equity  in  Beech  and  the  repayment  of  Beech’s  outstanding  debt,  which  is  required  at  closing, 
through a combination of available cash at Beech and Textron and up to $1.1 billion in new debt.  The transaction is expected to 
close during the first half of 2014, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.   

2013 Business Acquisitions  
In 2013, we acquired the following businesses for an aggregate cash payment of $196 million: 

Textron Systems 

•  Mechtronix, Inc. and OPINICUS Corporation, both acquired on December 6, 2013, design, develop, install and provide 

maintenance of advanced full flight simulators for both rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft.

Industrial 

•  Sherman & Reilly, Inc., a manufacturer of underground and aerial transmission and distribution products was acquired by 

our Greenlee business on May 1, 2013. 

•  HD Electric Company, a designer and manufacturer of power utility products that test, measure and control electric power 

was also acquired by our Greenlee business on December 18, 2013. 

Cessna 

•  Two service centers located in Zurich, Switzerland and Düsseldorf, Germany were acquired on December 31, 2012. 

The  consideration  paid  for  each  of  these  businesses  was  allocated  to  the  tangible  and  intangible  assets  acquired  and  liabilities 
assumed  based  on  their  estimated  fair  values  at  the  acquisition date.    We  assigned  $75  million  to  identifiable  intangible  assets, 
which primarily include platform technology and trade names.  For the three acquisitions that were closed in December 2013, we 
made  preliminary  estimates  of  the  fair  value  of  certain  assets  and  we  expect  to  complete  the  valuation  of  the  assets  in  the  first 
quarter  of  2014.    The  acquired  intangible  assets  will  be  amortized  over  their  estimate  lives,  which  range  from  7  to  11  years, 
primarily  using  accelerated  amortization  methods  based  on  the  cash  flow  streams  used  to  value  those  assets.  The  excess  of  the 
purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired totaled $82 million, which was recorded as goodwill, and 
reflects the expected revenue, assembled workforce and going concern nature of the businesses.  Approximately $52 million of the 
goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.  

The operating results for these acquisitions have been included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations since their respective 
closing dates.  Pro forma information has not been included for these business acquisitions as the results would not be materially 
different from our consolidated results.   

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment are as follows:

We  have  unbillable  receivables  primarily  on  U.S.  Government  contracts  that  arise  when  the  revenues  we  have  appropriately 
recognized  based  on  performance  cannot  be  billed  yet  under  terms  of  the  contract.  Unbillable  receivables  within  accounts

Finance  receivables  held  for  investment  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 was $1 million at December 28, 2013.  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.  Finance receivables held for investment also includes leveraged leases secured by the ownership 
of the leased equipment and real property. 

Finance  receivables  held  for  sale  includes  the  non-captive  loan  portfolio  at  December  28,  2013.    These  finance  receivables  are 
carried at the lower of cost or fair value and are not included in the credit performance tables below.  During 2013, we determined 
that  we  no  longer  had  the  intent  to  hold  the  remaining  non-captive  loan  portfolio  for  the  foreseeable  future  and,  accordingly, 
transferred $34 million of the remaining non-captive loans, net of a $1 million allowance for losses, from the held for investment 
classification to the held for sale classification.  We received total proceeds of $64 million and $109 million in 2013 and 2012, 
respectively, from the sale of finance receivables held for sale and $76 million and $207 million, respectively, from payoffs and 
collections.  

Our  finance  receivables  are  diversified  across  geographic  region  and  borrower  industry.    At  December  28,  2013,  41%  of  our 
finance  receivables  were  distributed  throughout  the  U.S.  compared  with  45%  at  the  end  of  2012.    At  December  28,  2013  and 
December  29,  2012,  finance  receivables  included  $200  million  and  $341  million,  respectively,  of  receivables  that  have  been 
legally sold to a special purpose entity (SPE), which is a consolidated subsidiary of TFC. The assets of the SPE are pledged as 
collateral  for  its  debt,  which  is  reflected  as  securitized  on-balance  sheet  debt  in  Note  7.  Third-party  investors  have  no  legal 
recourse to TFC beyond the credit enhancement provided by the assets of the SPE.  

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

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

A summary of finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators discussed above is as follows:

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. 

Finance receivables by delinquency aging category are summarized in the table below:

Accrual status loans that were greater than 90 days past due totaled $5 million at December 28, 2013.  There were no accrual status 
loans that were greater than 90 days past due at December 29, 2012.  At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, 60+ days 
contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables was 5.39% and 4.65%, respectively. 

Loan Modifications  
Troubled  debt  restructurings  occur  when  we  have  either  modified  the  contract  terms  of  finance  receivables  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 2013 and 2012 to finance receivables held for investment were not material. 

Impaired Loans  
On  a  quarterly  basis,  we  evaluate  individual  finance  receivables  for  impairment  in  non-homogeneous  portfolios  and  larger 
accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios.  A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable 
to  collect  all  amounts  due  according  to  the  contractual  terms  of  the  loan  agreement  based  on  our  review  of  the  credit  quality 
indicators 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 2013 or 2012.

In  2013,  2012  and  2011,  our  Finance  group  paid  our  Manufacturing  group  $248  million,  $309  million  and  $284  million, 
respectively,  related  to  the  sale  of  Textron-manufactured  products  to  third  parties  that  were  financed  by  the  Finance  group.  
Operating  agreements  specify  that  our  Finance  group  has  recourse  to  our  Manufacturing  group  for  certain  uncollected  amounts 
related to these transactions. At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, finance receivables and operating leases subject to 
recourse to the Manufacturing group totaled $75 million and $83 million, respectively.  Our Manufacturing group has established 
reserves for losses on its balance sheet within accrued and other liabilities for the amounts it guarantees.

During  the  fourth  quarter  of    2013,  Textron  entered  into  a  senior  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  for  an  aggregate  principal 
amount of $1.0 billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. This facility expires in October 
2018.  At December 28, 2013, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility, and there were $35 million of letters of credit 
issued against it. 

On January 30, 2014, we issued $250 million in 3.65% notes due 2021 and $350 million in 4.30% notes due 2024 under our shelf 
registration statement.  We plan to use the net proceeds of the issuance of these notes to finance a portion of the acquisition of all 
outstanding equity interests in Beech Holdings, LLC, the parent of Beechcraft Corporation, which we have agreed to purchase for 
approximately $1.4 billion in cash.  The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2014, subject to customary closing 
conditions, including regulatory approvals.  If the transaction is not completed, or the related merger agreement is terminated, on 
or before December 31, 2014, we will be required to redeem all outstanding 2021 notes at a redemption price equal to 101% of the 
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.  

On January 24, 2014, in order to finance the Beechcraft acquisition, we also entered into a five-year term loan with a syndicate of 
banks in the principal amount of $500 million which we intend to draw down upon the closing of the transaction.

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  were  accounted  for  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  which 
required 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 amortized the debt discount utilizing 
the effective interest method over the life of the notes, which increased 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 expenses of $9 million in 2013,  $25 million in 2012 and 
$58 million in 2011 for these notes.  

On May 1, 2013, our remaining convertible senior notes matured, and we paid the holders of the notes $215 million in settlement 
of the face value of the notes.  In addition, we issued 8.9 million shares of our common stock to converting holders in settlement of 
the excess of the conversion value over the face value of the notes; however, after giving effect to the exercise of the related call 
options and warrants discussed below, the incremental share settlement in excess of the face value of the notes resulted in a 7.4 
million net share issuance.   

Concurrently with the pricing of the convertible notes in May 2009, we entered into transactions with two counterparties, 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.    The  call  options  settled  on  May  1,  2013,  while  the  warrants  settled  daily  over  a  45-day  period 
beginning on February 27, 2013.  We acquired 8.9 million shares of our common stock upon the settlement of the call options and 
issued an aggregate of 7.4 million shares of our common stock in connection with the settlement of the warrants during the first 
half of 2013.  The settlement of the call options and warrants resulted in a $41 million net increase in treasury stock during 2013.     

On October 25, 2011, we entered into capped call transactions with the counterparties that covered an aggregate of 28.7 million 
shares of our common stock as of the end of 2012.  The capped calls had a strike price of $13.125 per share and a cap price of 
$15.75 per share, which entitled us to receive the per share value of our stock price in excess of $13.125 up to a maximum stock 
price of $15.75 at the expiration date.  Upon expiration of the capped calls, the market price of our common stock exceeded the 
maximum stock price, and we received $75 million in cash from the counterparties in the second quarter of 2013.   

6% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes 
The Finance group’s $299 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. During 2013, the Manufacturing group made a capital contribution to TFC for the repurchase of $1 million of 
these notes.  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.  Cash payments of $240 million and $182 million were made to 
TFC in 2012 and 2011, respectively, to maintain compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio.    

Note 8. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements 

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

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis  
We  manufacture  and  sell  our  products  in  a  number  of  countries  throughout  the  world,  and,  therefore,  we  are  exposed  to 
movements  in  foreign  currency  exchange  rates.    We  utilize  foreign  currency  exchange  contracts  to  manage  this  volatility.    Our 
foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique.  The inputs to this 
technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data 
providers.    These  are  observable  data  that  represent  the  rates  that  the  financial  institution  uses  for  contracts  entered  into  at  that 
date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2.  At December 28, 2013 and December 
29, 2012, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $636 million 
and $664 million, respectively.  At December 28, 2013, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a 
$2  million  asset  and  a  $15  million  liability.    At  December  29,  2012,  the  fair  value  amounts  of  our  foreign  currency  exchange 
contracts were a $9 million asset and a $5 million liability.    

We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts which have maturities of no more than three years.  These contracts qualify as 
cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and 
overhead expenses.  At December 28, 2013, we had a net deferred loss of $10 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, amounted to a $16 million net loss in 2013 and 
were  not  significant  in  2012.    We  expect  to  reclassify  a  $10  million  net  loss  from  Accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss  to 
earnings in the next twelve months. 

We  hedge  our  net  investment  position  in  major  currencies  and  generate  foreign  currency  interest  payments  that  offset  other 
transactional exposures in these currencies. To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of 
foreign currency debt as a hedge of a net investment. We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive 
income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges.  Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are 
reflected  in  the  foreign  currency  translation  adjustments  within  Accumulated  other  comprehensive  loss,  produced  a  $2  million 
after-tax  gain  in  2013,  resulting  in  an  accumulated  net  gain  balance  of  $6  million  at  December  28,  2013.    There  was  no 
ineffectiveness recorded related to these hedges during 2013. 

Our Finance group has entered 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.  These 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  data,  which  is  based  on  readily  observable  market  data 
published  by  third-party  leading  financial  news  and  data  providers.    At  December  28,  2013  and  December  29,  2012,  we  had 
interest  rate  exchange  contracts  with  notional  amounts  upon  which  the  contracts  were  based  of  $229  million  and  $671  million, 
respectively.  The fair value amounts of our interest rate exchange contracts recorded at December 28, 2013, were a $2 million 
asset and a $5 million liability.  At December 29, 2012, the fair value amounts of our interest rate exchange contracts were an $8 
million asset and an $8 million liability.    

Our exposure to loss from nonperformance by the counterparties to our derivative agreements at the end of 2013 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 2013 and 2012, certain assets in the Finance Group 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 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 28, 2013, our finance 
receivables held for sale included the non-captive loan portfolio.  Fair values of each loan in this portfolio were determined based 
on a combination of discounted cash flow models and recent third-party offers to estimate the price we expect to receive in the 
principal market for each loan, in an orderly transaction. The gains on finance receivables held for sale during 2013 and 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. 

Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables represent assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since the measurement of 
required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  For 
impaired nonaccrual finance receivables secured by aviation assets, the fair values of collateral are determined primarily based on 
the  use  of  industry  pricing  guides.  Fair  value  measurements  recorded  on  impaired  finance  receivables  resulted  in  charges  to 
provision for loan losses and primarily related to initial fair value adjustments.  

Other assets in the table above primarily include aviation assets and repossessed golf and hotel properties. The fair value of our 
aviation assets was largely determined based on the use of industry pricing guides.  The fair value of our golf and hotel properties 
was determined based on the use of discounted cash flow models, bids from prospective buyers or inputs from market participants.  
If the carrying amount of these assets is higher than their estimated fair value, we record a corresponding charge to income for the 
difference.

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions or Level 2 inputs.  
At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, approximately 30% and 46%, 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.

Earnings per Share 
We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) based on net income, which approximates income available to common 
shareholders for each period.  Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities 
as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends.  Diluted EPS considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, 
including stock options, restricted stock units and, prior to the maturity of our convertible notes on May 1, 2013, the shares that 
could have been issued upon the conversion of the notes and upon the exercise of the related warrants.  

The weighted-average shares outstanding for basic and diluted EPS are as follows:

The dilutive effect of the convertible notes and warrants decreased significantly in 2013 from prior years due to the maturity of our 
convertible notes as described in Note 7.  We intended to settle the face value of the notes in cash and the excess of the conversion 
value over the face value in cash and/or shares of our common stock; accordingly, only the shares of our common stock potentially 
issuable with respect to the excess of the notes’ conversion value over the face amount were considered in calculating diluted EPS. 
The call options purchased in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes and the capped call transaction were excluded 
from the calculation of diluted EPS as their impact was always anti-dilutive.   

In  2013,  2012  and  2011,  stock  options  to  purchase  5  million,  7  million  and  5  million  shares,  respectively,  of  common  stock 
outstanding are excluded from our calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-
dilutive.

Note 10. Share-Based Compensation 

Our 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (Plan) 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.  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.  
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 totaled $1 million in each of the three years ended 
December 28, 2013. 

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 $26 million, $23 million and $17 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for 
a portion 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 28, 2013, we had not recognized $61 
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 two years. 

Stock Options 
Options to purchase our shares have a maximum term of ten 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:

At December 28, 2013, our outstanding options had an aggregate intrinsic value of $88 million and a weighted-average remaining 
contractual  life  of  six  years.    Our  exercisable  options  had  an  aggregate  intrinsic  value  of  $47  million  and  a  weighted-average 
remaining contractual life of five years at December 28, 2013.  The total intrinsic value of options exercised during 2013, 2012 and 
2011 amounted to $10 million, $11 million and $2 million, respectively. 

Restricted Stock Units 
In 2013 and 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 2013 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, of which the largest plan is the 
Textron Savings Plan, which is a qualified 401(k) plan subject to ERISA.  Our defined contribution plans cost approximately $93 
million, $88 million and $85 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively; these amounts include $19 million, $21 million and $23 
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.

The accumulated benefit obligation for all defined benefit pension plans was $6.1 billion and $6.6 billion at December 28, 2013 
and  December  29,  2012,  respectively,  which  included  $359  million  and  $388  million,  respectively,  in  accumulated  benefit 
obligations for unfunded plans where funding is not permitted or in foreign environments where funding is not feasible.

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:

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 based on 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 2014, we expect 
to contribute approximately $58 million to fund non-qualified plans and foreign plans, and $19 million to the RAP.  We do not 
expect  to  contribute  to  our  qualified pension plans  or our  other postretirement  benefit plans.    Benefit  payments  provided below 
reflect expected future employee service, as appropriate,  and are expected to be paid, net of estimated participant contributions.  
These  payments  are  based  on  the  same  assumptions  used  to  measure  our  benefit  obligation  at  the  end  of  fiscal  2013.    While 
pension  benefit  payments  primarily  will  be  paid  out  of  qualified  pension  trusts,  we  will  pay  postretirement  benefits  other  than 
pensions out of our general corporate assets.  Benefit payments that we expect to pay are as follows:

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 both December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, approximately $204 million of these unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, 
would  favorably  affect  our  effective  tax  rate  in  a  future  period.    The  remaining  $80  million  in  unrecognized  tax  benefits  were 
related to discontinued operations.   

It is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months our unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest, may decrease in the 
range of $0 to $213 million, as a result of the conclusion of audits and any related appeals or review processes,  the expiration of 
statutes of limitations and additional worldwide uncertain tax positions.  This potential decrease primarily relates to uncertainties 
with respect to prior dispositions and research tax credits.  However, based on the process of finalizing audits and any required 
review process by relevant authorities, it is difficult to estimate the timing and amount of  potential changes to our unrecognized 
tax benefits.  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, Mexico 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 2013, 2012 and 2011, we recognized net tax-related interest expense totaling approximately $6 million, $9 million and $10 
million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.  At December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, we had a total 
of $126 million and $134 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.

Our net operating loss and credit carryforwards at December 28, 2013 are as follows:

The  undistributed  earnings  of  our  non-U.S.  subsidiaries  approximated  $778  million  at  December  28,  2013.    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.

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.  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 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. 

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 $298 million and $323 million at December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, 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 $40 
million  to  $170  million.  At  December  28, 2013,  environmental  reserves  of  approximately  $74  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  ten  years  and  have  classified  $21  million  as  current  liabilities.  Expenditures  to  evaluate  and  remediate 
contaminated sites approximated $12 million, $15 million and $9 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. 

Leases 
Rental expense approximated $95 million, $97 million and $93 million in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Future minimum 
rental commitments for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 28, 2013 approximated $64 million for 2014, $46 
million for 2015, $36 million for 2016, $28 million for 2017, $21 million for 2018 and a total of $148 million thereafter.

Cash paid for interest by the Finance group included amounts paid to the Manufacturing group of $11 million and $26 million in 
2012 and 2011, respectively.  Cash paid for interest by the Finance group to the Manufacturing group was not significant in 2013. 

In 2012, net taxes paid by the Finance group included a payment of $111 million primarily from a settlement related to the IRS’s 
challenge of tax deductions claimed in prior years for certain leveraged lease transactions.

Note 15. 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 jets, Caravan single-engine utility turboprops, single-engine utility and high-performance 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.    Bell  supplies 
military helicopters and, in association with The Boeing Company, military tiltrotor aircraft, and aftermarket services to the U.S. 
and non-U.S. governments.  Bell also supplies commercial helicopters and aftermarket services to corporate, offshore petroleum 
exploration  and  development,  utility,  charter,  police,  fire,  rescue,  emergency  medical  helicopter  operators  and  foreign 
governments.  

Textron  Systems  products  include  unmanned  aircraft  systems,  marine  and  land  systems,  weapons  and  sensors  and  a  variety  of 
defense and aviation mission support products and services primarily for U.S. and non-U.S. governments.  In December 2013, we 
acquired two flight simulation and aircraft training product businesses.  

Industrial products and markets include the following: 

•  Kautex products include blow-molded plastic fuel systems, windshield and headlamp washer systems, selective catalytic 
reduction systems and engine camshafts 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,  mechanical  and  hydraulic 
tools,  cable  connectors,  and 
the  construction,  maintenance, 
fiber  optic  assemblies,  principally  used 
telecommunications, data communications, utility and plumbing industries. During 2013, we acquired two businesses, a 
manufacturer of underground and aerial transmission and distribution products, and a designer and manufacturer of power 
utility products; and 

in 

•  E-Z-GO  and  Jacobsen  products  include  golf  cars;  off-road,  utility  and  light  transportation  vehicles;  professional  turf-
maintenance equipment and specialized turf-care vehicles that are marketed primarily to golf courses, resort communities, 
municipalities, sporting venues, consumers, and commercial and industrial users. 

The Finance segment provides commercial loans and leases primarily for new Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters as well as pre-
owned Cessna aircraft and Bell helicopters on a limited basis. 

Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the 
manufacturing  segments  excludes  interest  expense  and  certain  corporate  expenses.    The  measurement  for  the  Finance  segment 
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 segment 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:

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures 

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

imagine. Here are some of the

announced in 2013:
