Providence, RI - January 23, 2003 - Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) today reported fourth quarter and full-year results in line with its targets.
Fourth quarter 2002 diluted earnings per share were $0.95 and net income was $131 million, compared to fourth quarter 2001 diluted earnings per share of $1.81 and net income of $257 million. Full-year 2002 diluted earnings per share before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle were $2.60 and income before the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was $364 million, compared to $1.16 and $166 million for the full-year 2001.
Full-year 2002 revenues were $10.7 billion, down from $12.3 billion in 2001, reflecting higher revenues in the Aircraft segment, offset by the loss of revenue due to the divestiture of Automotive Trim and other businesses and lower revenue in the non-aircraft segments.
Textron presents certain other financial measures to assist in understanding the ongoing operational results of the business. Such measures are presented in a manner consistent with how operating performance is measured for management compensation purposes. While these additional financial measures can be useful in analyzing operating performance, they should be used only in conjunction with results presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Fourth quarter 2002 diluted earnings per share included $0.17 per share in after-tax charges and costs related to restructuring, a $0.17 per share after-tax, non-cash charge related to Textron's common stock holdings in Collins & Aikman Corp. and a $0.25 per share after-tax gain from the sale of the Snorkel business, including a tax benefit associated with the transaction. Fourth quarter 2001 diluted earnings per share included $0.13 per share in after-tax charges and costs related to restructuring, and a $1.47 per share after-tax gain related to Automotive Trim, which was sold at the end of 2001.
Excluding these items, fourth quarter 2002 adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.04, compared to $0.47 per share in the fourth quarter of 2001. Fourth quarter 2001 adjusted diluted earnings per share included $0.14 per share in goodwill amortization expense.
Full-year 2002 diluted earnings per share included $0.55 per share in after-tax charges and costs related to restructuring, an $0.11 per share after-tax loss related to various transactions associated with Automotive Trim and a $0.25 per share after-tax gain from the sale of the Snorkel business, including a tax benefit associated with the transaction. Full-year 2001 diluted earnings per share included $0.64 per share in after-tax charges and costs related to restructuring, $1.98 per share in after-tax asset impairment charges and a $1.46 per share, after-tax gain related to the sale of Automotive Trim.
Excluding these items, full-year 2002 adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.01, compared to $2.32 per share in 2001. Full-year 2001 adjusted diluted earnings per share included $0.62 per share in goodwill amortization expense.
Textron recorded full-year free cash flow before restructuring of $336 million. The company also continued to make progress on its restructuring program, with $129 million in incremental savings over the prior year.
In the fourth quarter, the company recorded a $91 million after-tax, non-cash reduction directly to equity to reflect additional minimum liability under several of its pension plans.
At Textron, 2002 was a year of action and results, said Lewis B. Campbell, Textron chairman, president and CEO. Despite the challenges of the economic environment, we met our earnings per share and free cash flow targets. And, although we expect 2003 to be another difficult year in our end markets, we will continue to strengthen our businesses competitive positions and build a foundation for strong future growth opportunities.
Collins & Aikman
As previously announced, on January 17, 2003 Textron sold its 50% interest in an Italian automotive joint venture to Collins & Aikman. This transaction will result in a $12 million after-tax gain in the first quarter of 2003.
Outlook
Textron expects full-year 2003 diluted earnings per share will be approximately $3.05. This estimate excludes restructuring costs and other special items that may occur, such as the gain associated with the sale of its Italian automotive joint venture interest. First quarter 2003 diluted earnings per share are expected to be approximately $0.50, excluding restructuring costs and the gain on the sale of the Italian automotive joint venture interest.
The company expects free cash flow before restructuring will be approximately $400 million. In addition, the company expects to receive a cash tax benefit of approximately $100 million related to the 2002 Snorkel transaction that will be recorded under cash flows from investing activities.
Fourth Quarter Segment Analysis
Due to the company's adoption of SFAS No. 142, 2002 net income excludes goodwill amortization. The company no longer includes amortization of goodwill in its internal evaluation of segment performance. Therefore, the company has recast its prior year segment results for comparability by reclassifying goodwill amortization and treating this expense as a below-segment profit item. Segment profits and margins discussed below for both periods have been adjusted to exclude restructuring charges and related costs.
These adjusted segment results can be useful in analyzing operating performance, but should be used only in conjunction with results reported in accordance with GAAP.
Aircraft
Aircraft segment revenues decreased $25 million, while profit remained stable at $137 million.
Cessna's revenues decreased $40 million, primarily due to lower sales of Citation business jets, single engine piston aircraft and aircraft engines. These decreases were partially offset by favorable pricing and higher used aircraft sales. Profit decreased $40 million, primarily due to the lower sales volume, the timing and level of supplier rebates, inflation and a higher net write-down for used aircraft valuations, partially offset by favorable pricing. Backlog at Cessna was $4.9 billion at the end of the quarter, excluding orders for the Citation Mustang.
Bell Helicopter's revenues increased $15 million, primarily due to higher revenue from the U.S. Government, partially offset by lower commercial sales. U.S. Government revenue increased due to higher revenue on the V-22 program, partially offset by lower revenue from the Huey and Cobra upgrade contracts and other U.S. Government sales. Commercial sales decreased primarily due to lower commercial aircraft sales, partially offset by higher foreign military sales and higher commercial spares and service sales. Bell's profit increased $40 million, primarily due to improved profitability in the V-22 and H-1 development programs and improved commercial profitability from higher spare parts volume and lower overhead costs. Backlog at Bell was $1.2 billion at the end of the quarter.
Fastening Systems
Fastening Systems revenues increased $39 million and profit increased $36 million.
Revenues increased primarily due to higher sales volume and the favorable impact from foreign exchange, partially offset by price reductions and the divestiture of non-core product lines in 2001. Profit increased primarily due to improved cost performance, including the benefit from restructuring activities, and the higher sales volume, partially offset by price reductions.
Industrial Products
Industrial Products revenues decreased $14 million, while profit increased $28 million.
Revenues decreased in most of the segment's businesses primarily due to lower sales volume from depressed markets and the divestiture of non-core product lines in 2001, partially offset by higher revenue in the golf car and turf care businesses. Profit increased primarily due to stronger cost performance, which included restructuring savings, partially offset by unfavorable sales volume.
Industrial Components
Industrial Components revenues decreased $306 million, while profit increased $12 million.
Revenues and profit declined $379 million and $8 million, respectively, due to the divestiture of Trim in 2001. Excluding Trim, revenues increased $73 million and profit increased $20 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to higher sales volume at Kautex as a result of new product launches, continued strength in the automotive market and the favorable impact of foreign exchange, partially offset by price reductions. Excluding Trim, the profit increase was primarily due to the higher sales volume and improved cost performance, which included restructuring savings. The increase in profit was partially offset by price reductions.
Finance
Finance segment revenues and profit both decreased by $15 million.
Revenues decreased primarily due to a gain from a leveraged lease prepayment in 2001 and a lower average yield, reflecting the current interest rate environment, partially offset by securitization gains and interest income related to higher average receivables. Profit decreased primarily due to lower interest margin, primarily due to the impact of the lease prepayment gain, and higher legal and collection expenses.

(b) In January 2002, Textron reorganized to reflect the sale of the
Automotive Trim business and now reports under the following
segments: Aircraft, Fastening Systems, Industrial Products,
Industrial Components and Finance. Prior periods have been recast
to reflect this change.
(c) Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, beginning on December 30, 2001, goodwill
is no longer amortized. To reflect the adoption of this Statement
and the fact that the Company does not include amortization of
goodwill in its internal evaluation of segment performance, the
Company has recast its segment data for comparability by
reclassifying goodwill amortization from segment profit in prior
periods.
(d) In the second quarter 2002, Textron recorded an adjustment to the
gain on the divestiture of the Automotive Trim business as a
result of transactions associated with the divestiture. The
Automotive Trim business was sold to Collins & Aikman Products Co.
in the fourth quarter 2001. In December 2002, Textron sold the
Snorkel product line of its OmniQuip business unit as well as the
OmniQuip Textron Inc. holding company to Elwood Holdings, LLC.
(e) Special charges include restructuring expenses and fixed asset
impairment write-downs associated with reducing overhead and
closing, consolidating and downsizing manufacturing facilities,
reducing corporate and segment personnel, consolidating operations
and exiting non-core product lines.
(f) With the implementation of SFAS No. 142, Textron recorded a $488
million after-tax transitional goodwill impairment charge
comprised of $274 million in the Industrial Products segment, $111
million in the Industrial Components segment, $88 million in the
Fastening Systems segment and $15 million in the Finance segment.
As required by the Statement, these charges were recorded
retroactively to the beginning of fiscal year 2002 as a cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle.
