Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries. We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

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

Use of Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined.

Contract Estimates

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

In the third quarter of 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $18 million and net income by $14 million, $0.07 per diluted share. In the third quarter of 2022, our cumulative catch-up adjustments decreased segment profit by $3 million and net income by $2 million, $0.01 per diluted share.

In the first nine months of 2023, our cumulative catch-up adjustments increased segment profit by $36 million and net income by $28 million, $0.14 per diluted share. In the first nine months of 2022, our cumulative catch-up adjustments decreased segment profit by $24 million and net income by $18 million, $0.08 per diluted share.

Total finance receivables, net	$	599	$	563

Finance Receivable Portfolio Quality

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

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

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our finance receivables. In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due. If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category.

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


(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Performing	$	585	$	515
Watchlist	23		26
Nonaccrual	16		46
Nonaccrual as a percentage of finance receivables	2.56%		7.84%
Current and less than 31 days past due	$	614	$	579
31-60 days past due	1		7
61-90 days past due	5		—
Over 90 days past due	4		1
60+ days contractual delinquency as a percentage of finance receivables	1.44%		0.17%

Table of Contents

At September 30, 2023, 43% of our performing finance receivables were originated since the beginning of 2021 and 27% were originated from 2018 to 2020. For finance receivables categorized as watchlist, 100% were originated since the beginning of 2020 and for nonaccrual, 41% were originated from 2018 to 2020 with the remainder prior to 2018.

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual larger balance accounts for impairment. A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement based on our review of the credit quality indicators described above. Impaired finance receivables include both nonaccrual accounts and accounts for which full collection of principal and interest remains probable, but the account’s original terms have been, or are expected to be, significantly modified. If the modification specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than a market rate for a finance receivable with comparable risk, the account is not considered impaired in years subsequent to the modification.

A summary of finance receivables and the allowance for credit losses, based on the results of our impairment evaluation, is provided below. The finance receivables included in this table specifically exclude leveraged leases in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 5. Leases

We primarily lease certain manufacturing plants, offices, warehouses, training and service centers at various locations worldwide through operating leases. Our operating leases have remaining lease terms up to 25 years, which include options to extend the lease term for periods up to 20 years when it is reasonably certain the option will be exercised. Operating lease cost totaled $18 million and $17 million in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $52 million and $51 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Variable and short-term lease costs were not significant. Cash paid for operating leases totaled $51 million for both the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, and is classified in cash flows from operating activities. Noncash transactions totaled $32 million and $34 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, reflecting the recognition of operating lease assets and liabilities for new or extended leases.

Balance sheet and other information related to our operating leases is as follows:


(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Other assets	$	362	$	372
Other current liabilities	53		54
Other liabilities	319		326
Weighted-average remaining lease term (in years)	10.2		10.4
Weighted-average discount rate	4.41%		4.14%

At September 30, 2023, maturities of our operating lease liabilities on an undiscounted basis totaled $19 million for the remainder of 2023, $65 million for 2024, $57 million for 2025, $44 million for 2026, $39 million for 2027 and $249 million thereafter.

Note 6. Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

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

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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

Our foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique. The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $487 million and $354 million, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $1 million asset and a $9 million liability. At December 31, 2022, the fair value amount of our foreign currency exchange contracts was an $11 million liability.

Table of Contents

Our Finance group enters into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate certain exposures to fluctuations in interest rates. By using these contracts, we are able to convert the floating-rate cash flows to fixed-rate cash flows on certain debt. These agreements are designated as cash flow hedges.

In 2023, we entered into swap agreements related to our Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Notes for an aggregate notional amount of $185 million and a weighted-average fixed rate of 5.17%, with maturities ranging from August 2025 to August 2028. In compliance with the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act of 2022, in the third quarter of 2023, the benchmark interest rate on these Notes changed to the three-month CME Term Secured Overnight Funding Rate + 1.99661%. At December 31, 2022, we had a swap agreement related to these Notes with a notional amount of $272 million that matured in August 2023. We also entered into an interest rate swap agreement in May 2022 with a notional amount of $25 million that matures in June 2025 and effectively converts variable-rate interest on a term loan to a fixed rate of 2.75%.

At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of our outstanding swap agreements was a $9 million asset and an $8 million asset, respectively. The fair value of these swap agreements is determined using values published by third-party leading financial news and data providers. These values are observable data that represent the value that financial institutions use for contracts entered into at that date, but are not based on actual transactions, so they are classified as Level 2.

Assets and Liabilities Not Recorded at Fair Value

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


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying		Estimated		Carrying		Estimated
(In millions)	Value		Fair Value		Value		Fair Value
Manufacturing group
Debt, excluding leases	$	(3,172)	$	(2,856)	$	(3,175)	$	(2,872)
Finance group
Finance receivables, excluding leases	430		418		390		369
Debt	(350)		(292)		(375)		(294)

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

*Includes amounts accrued for excise tax imposed on common share repurchases beginning on January 1, 2023 as part of the Inflation Reduction Act that totaled $1 million for the third quarter of 2023 and $7 million for first nine months of 2023.

Dividends per share of common stock were $0.02 for both the third quarter of 2023 and 2022 and $0.06 for both the first nine months of 2023 and 2022.

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.

Table of Contents

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


	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
(In thousands)	September 30, 2023	October 1, 2022	September 30, 2023	October 1, 2022
Basic weighted-average shares outstanding	197,947	211,307	201,161	214,301
Dilutive effect of stock options	2,045	1,833	2,009	2,167
Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding	199,992	213,140	203,170	216,468

Stock options to purchase 1.0 million and 1.7 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive. For both the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, stock options to purchase 1.0 million shares of common stock were excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 8. Segment Information

We operate in, and reported financial information for, the following six business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Beginning in 2023, we changed how we measure our manufacturing segment operating results to exclude the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; and intangible asset amortization. This measure also continues to exclude interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; certain corporate expenses; gains/losses on major business dispositions; and special charges. The prior period has been recast to conform to this presentation. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

Our revenues by segment, along with a reconciliation of segment profit to income from continuing operations before income taxes, are included in the table below:

Remaining Performance Obligations

Our remaining performance obligations, which is the equivalent of our backlog, represent the expected transaction price allocated to our contracts that we expect to recognize as revenues in future periods when we perform under the contracts. These remaining obligations exclude unexercised contract options and potential orders under ordering-type contracts such as Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contracts. At September 30, 2023, we had $14.5 billion in remaining performance obligations of which we expect to recognize revenues of approximately 70% through 2024, an additional 26% through 2026, and the balance thereafter.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

Assets and liabilities related to our contracts with customers are reported on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, contract assets totaled $513 million and $680 million, respectively, and contract liabilities totaled $1.7 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, reflecting timing differences between revenues recognized, billings and payments from customers. We recognized revenues of $70 million and $130 million in the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $766 million and $629 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each year.

Note 11. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2023 was 10.6% and 15.6%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income.

Our effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2022 was 14.8% and 16.2%, respectively. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2022, the effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, largely due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign derived intangible income. In the third quarter of 2022, these benefits were partially offset by a $13 million provision for withholding taxes due to the planned repatriation of cash related to a non-U.S. jurisdiction.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to 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; disputes with suppliers, production partners or other third parties; 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 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.

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 25.

Revenues

Revenues increased $265 million, 9%, in the third quarter of 2023, compared with the third quarter of 2022. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:

•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $171 million, reflecting higher volume and mix of $89 million and higher pricing of $82 million.

•Higher Industrial revenues of $73 million, largely due to higher volume and mix of $45 million at both product lines and an $18 million favorable impact from pricing.

•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $17 million, largely reflecting higher volume.

•Bell’s revenues were unchanged as lower commercial volume was largely offset by higher military volume.

Revenues increased $558 million, 6%, in the first nine months of 2023, compared with the first nine months of 2022. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors:

•Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $358 million, reflecting higher pricing of $235 million and higher volume and mix of $123 million.

•Higher Industrial revenues of $322 million, largely reflecting higher volume and mix of $254 million at both product lines and a $79 million favorable impact from pricing.

•Higher Textron Systems revenues of $63 million, largely reflecting higher volume.

•Lower Bell revenues of $199 million, largely due to lower volume and mix of $242 million, which included lower military volume of $123 million and commercial volume of $119 million.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Cost of sales increased $195 million, 8%, in the third quarter of 2023, compared with the third quarter of 2022, largely due to higher net volume and mix described above and $69 million of inflation and LIFO inventory provision. Cost of sales increased $439 million, 6%, in the first nine months of 2023, compared with the first nine months of 2022, largely due to $235 million of inflation and LIFO inventory provision and the impact of higher net volume and mix described above. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues increased 80 basis points in the third quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher margins at the Industrial segment, reflecting higher volume and pricing, and at the Bell segment.

Selling and administrative expense increased $37 million, 14%, and $47 million, 6%, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2022, primarily reflecting higher share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $17 million recovery of amounts that were previously written off related to one customer relationship at the Finance segment.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net includes interest expense for both the Finance and Manufacturing borrowing groups, with interest on intercompany borrowings eliminated, and interest income earned on cash and equivalents for the Manufacturing borrowing group. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2023, interest expense, net decreased $5 million, 21%, and $29 million, 33%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods in 2022, largely due to an increase in interest income of $6 million and $28 million, respectively.

Segment Analysis

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following six business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial, Textron eAviation and Finance. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Beginning in 2023, we changed how we measure our manufacturing segment operating results to exclude the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; and intangible asset amortization. This measure also continues to exclude interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; certain corporate expenses; gains/losses on major business dispositions; and special charges. The prior period has been recast to conform to this presentation. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. Operating expenses for the Manufacturing segments include cost of sales and selling and administrative expense, while excluding certain corporate expenses, LIFO inventory provision, intangible asset amortization and special charges.

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenues and segment profit for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of volume and mix, pricing, foreign exchange, acquisitions and dispositions, inflation and performance. For revenues, volume and mix represents changes in revenues from increases or decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold. For segment profit, volume and mix represents a change due to the number of units delivered or services provided and the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins. Pricing represents changes in unit pricing. Foreign exchange is the change resulting from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are different from the prior period. Revenues generated by acquired businesses are reflected in Acquisitions for a twelve-month period, while reductions in revenues and segment profit from the sale of businesses are reflected as Dispositions. Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension service cost or other costs. Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Approximately 22% of our 2022 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program. For our segments that contract with the U.S. Government, changes in revenues related to these contracts are expressed in terms of volume. Changes in segment profit for these contracts are typically expressed in terms of volume and mix and performance; these include cumulative catch-up adjustments associated with a) revisions to the transaction price that may reflect contract modifications or changes in assumptions related to award fees and other variable consideration or b) changes in the total estimated costs at completion due to improved or deteriorated operating performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

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

Cash and equivalents	$	45	$	72
Debt	350		375

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 expect to have sufficient cash to meet our needs based on our existing cash balances, the cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations and the availability of our existing credit facility.

Credit Facilities and Other Sources of Capital

Textron has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit. We may elect to increase the aggregate amount of commitments under the facility to up to $1.3 billion by designating an additional lender or by an existing lender agreeing to increase its commitment. The facility expires in October 2027 and provides for two one-year extensions at our option with the consent of lenders representing a majority of the commitments under the facility. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were $9 million of outstanding letters of credit issued under the facility.

We also maintain an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public debt and other securities.

Manufacturing Group Cash Flows

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

In the first nine months of 2023, cash flows from operating activities decreased $208 million to $737 million, compared with $945 million in the first nine months of 2022, largely due to changes in working capital, partially offset by higher earnings and $42 million in lower income tax payments.

Cash flows used in investing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included $224 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $39 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies. Investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 included $201 million of net cash paid for business acquisitions, largely related to the Pipistrel acquisition, and $192 million of capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included $885 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 12.5 million shares of our common stock. In the first nine months of 2022, cash flows used in financing activities included $639 million of cash paid to repurchase an aggregate of 9.8 million shares of our common stock.

On July 24, 2023, Textron's Board of Directors approved a new program for the repurchase of up to 35 million shares of our common stock. This share repurchase program allows us to continue our practice of repurchasing shares to offset the impact of dilution from stock-based compensation and benefit plans and for opportunistic capital management purposes. The new program has no expiration date and replaced the prior 2022 share repurchase program.

In the first nine months of 2023, cash flows from operating activities increased $24 million to $13 million, compared with $(11) million in the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to $10 million in lower income tax payments.

The Finance group’s cash flows from investing activities included collections on finance receivables totaling $116 million and $108 million in the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, respectively, and finance receivable originations of $122 million and $58 million, respectively. Cash flows provided by investing activities in the first nine months of 2022 also included $44 million of other investing activities, largely related to proceeds from the sale of operating lease assets. In the first nine months of 2023 and 2022, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $36 million and $211 million, respectively.

Consolidated Cash Flows

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

In the first nine months of 2023, cash flows from operating activities decreased $245 million to $718 million, compared with $963 million in the first nine months of 2022, largely due to changes in working capital and a net cash outflow from captive finance receivables of $61 million, partially offset by higher earnings and $52 million in lower income tax payments.

Cash flows used in financing activities in the first nine months of 2023 included $885 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock. In the first nine months of 2022, cash flows used in financing activities included $639 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $227 million of payments on long-term debt.

Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions

The Finance group provides financing primarily to purchasers of new and pre-owned Textron Aviation aircraft and Bell helicopters manufactured by our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers is reflected as operating activities when received from third parties. However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based on the operations of each group. For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows. Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow. Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing. These captive financing activities, along with all significant intercompany transactions, are reclassified or eliminated from the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Reclassification adjustments included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below:

Critical Accounting Estimates Update

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements. The accounting estimates that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are reported in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure.

Revenue Recognition

A substantial portion of our revenues is related to long-term contracts with the U.S. Government, including those under the U.S. Government-sponsored foreign military sales program, for the design, development, manufacture or modification of aerospace and defense products as well as related services. We generally use the cost-to-cost method to measure progress for these contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs on our contracts. Under this measure, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the ratio of costs incurred to date to the estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation, and revenue is recorded proportionally as costs are incurred.

Changes in our estimate of the total expected cost or in the transaction price for a contract typically impact our profit booking rate. We utilize the cumulative catch-up method of accounting to recognize the impact of these changes on our profit booking rate for a contract. Under this method, the inception-to-date impact of a profit adjustment on a contract is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified. The impact of our cumulative catch-up adjustments on segment profit recognized in prior periods is presented below:
