Business Environment Since early 2025, the United States has made various changes to its trade policy resulting in new or higher tariffs on goods imported from numerous countries. We are principally a North American manufacturer and 69% of our 2025 revenues were generated in the U.S. Many of our aircraft materials and components qualify under the rules of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement for preferential treatment on tariffs imposed by the U.S. on imports from Canada and Mexico. In addition, our operations outside of North America primarily source materials and components from outside of North America and manufacture products for non-U.S. customers. Many of our businesses with operations in North America also source materials and components from outside of North America. These businesses have been and will continue to be impacted by these imposed U.S. tariffs. In order to mitigate these impacts our businesses have been managing, and will continue to manage, pricing and supply chain optimization strategies. To date, we have not experienced a material adverse impact from these tariffs. The U.S. tariffs were imposed under various legal authorities, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the IEEPA were not authorized by the statute. During the second quarter of 2026, we submitted refund requests for the IEEPA tariffs and have begun to receive refunds for previously paid tariffs. We will continue to evaluate the ongoing impact of tariffs and any further developments or changes in global tariff policies on our business and financial position.

A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 23 to 26. Revenues Revenues increased $111 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors: •Higher Bell revenues of $58 million due to higher military aircraft and support programs revenues of $47 million and higher commercial revenues of $11 million. •Higher Textron Systems revenues of $23 million, largely due to higher volume. •Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $22 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $17 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $5 million. •Higher Industrial revenues of $9 million, reflecting higher revenues of $17 million at Kautex, partially offset by lower revenues of $8 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles. Revenues increased $500 million, 7%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025. The revenue increase primarily included the following factors: •Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $291 million, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $238 million, largely due to higher volume and mix, and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $53 million. •Higher Bell revenues of $145 million, due to higher military aircraft and support programs revenues of $208 million, largely from the MV-75 program, partially offset by lower commercial revenues of $63 million. •Higher Textron Systems revenues of $62 million, largely due to higher volume. •Higher Industrial revenues of $3 million, reflecting higher revenues of $53 million at Kautex, primarily due to a favorable impact from foreign exchange rate fluctuations, higher pricing and higher volume and mix, largely offset by lower 21 Table of Contents revenues of $50 million at Textron Specialized Vehicles, mostly due to the impact from the disposition of the Powersports business in April 2025, partially offset by higher pricing. Cost of Sales Cost of sales includes cost of products and services sold for the Manufacturing group. Cost of sales increased $126 million, 4%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $67 million impact from inflation and higher net volume and mix of $44 million. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 100 basis points in the second quarter of 2026, primarily due to lower margin at the Bell segment. Cost of sales increased $477 million, 8%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, largely due to higher net volume and mix of $332 million and a $148 million impact from inflation and higher LIFO inventory provision, partially offset by the impact from the Powersports disposition. Gross margin as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues decreased 100 basis points in the first half of 2026, primarily due to lower margin at the Bell segment. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs decreased $21 million, 15%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, largely due to a decrease of $11 million at the Bell segment, reflecting a reduction in costs on several programs, and a decrease of $6 million at the Textron Systems segment, due to a reduction in costs on certain U.S. Government development programs. Research and development costs decreased $33 million, 12%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, largely reflecting lower costs of $13 million and $7 million at the Bell and Textron Systems segments, respectively, as described above, along with $9 million in lower costs related to certain development projects reported within corporate expenses as discussed in the Segment Analysis section below. Selling and Administrative Expense Selling and administrative expense increased $8 million, 3%, and $31 million, 5%, in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025. The increase in selling and administrative expense in the first half of 2026 was primarily due to higher share-based and other compensation expense. 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 second quarter and first half of 2026, interest expense, net increased $2 million, 6%, and $7 million, 12%, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, primarily due to higher average debt outstanding. Gross interest expense totaled $40 million and $39 million in the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $83 million and $77 million in the first half of 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income Taxes Our effective tax rate was 18.4% and 18.0% for the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived deduction eligible income, which replaced foreign-derived intangible income beginning in 2026. Our effective tax rate for the second quarter and first half of 2025 was 18.6% and 16.6%, respectively. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to the favorable impact of research and development credits and tax deductions for foreign-derived intangible income. Backlog Our backlog is summarized below: (In millions) July 4, 2026 January 3, 2026 Textron Aviation $ 8,028 $ 7,724 Bell 7,538 7,795 Textron Systems 3,348 3,304 Total backlog $ 18,914 $ 18,823 22 Table of Contents Segment Analysis We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five operating segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance. Effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of our 2026 fiscal year, the business activities of the Textron eAviation segment were realigned within Textron's other operating segments resulting in the elimination of the Textron eAviation segment as a separate reporting segment. Under the segment realignment, a significant part of Textron eAviation, including Pipistrel, became part of the Textron Aviation segment to enable the business to more effectively leverage the development, manufacturing and sales expertise at Textron Aviation. In addition, Textron eAviation’s manned and unmanned products for military applications and related research and development activities are included in the results of the Textron Systems segment, which is best suited to provide more direct access to the targeted customer base for these products. Lastly, certain Textron eAviation research and development activities encompassing digital flight control and air vehicle management systems, which we expect will benefit several of our segments, are reported within corporate expenses. The prior period has been recast to reflect the segment realignment. Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes. Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes the non-service components of pension and postretirement income, net; LIFO inventory provision; intangible asset amortization; interest expense, net for Manufacturing group; certain corporate expenses; gains/losses on major business dispositions; and special charges. The operating costs used to derive segment profit for our manufacturing segments includes cost of sales, research and development costs and selling and administrative expense. The cost of sales discussed in this Segment Analysis section excludes the LIFO inventory provision and intangible asset amortization discussed above that are reported within Cost of products sold or Cost of services sold on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense. In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, material changes in revenues and segment profit for our commercial businesses typically are expressed in terms of product line revenues, including volume and mix and pricing; foreign exchange; acquisitions and dispositions; inflation; manufacturing efficiency; and changes in research and development costs and selling and administrative expense. 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. Manufacturing efficiency includes changes in material, labor and overhead variances to standards, typically due to scrap rates, labor efficiency or inefficiencies, facility usage and other manufacturing productivity inputs. Approximately 27% of our 2025 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, material 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 contract performance, which includes 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 among other factors. See the Critical Accounting Estimates - Revenue Recognition section in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of the factors that impact our estimated costs.

The increase in aircraft revenues was due to higher pricing, partially offset by lower volume and mix. The decrease in volume and mix largely reflected lower Citation jet and defense volume, partially offset by higher commercial turboprop volume. We delivered 40 Citation jets and 44 commercial turboprops in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 49 Citation jets and 34 commercial turboprops in the second quarter of 2025. Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $291 million, 11%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, reflecting higher aircraft revenues of $238 million and higher aftermarket parts and services revenues of $53 million. The increase in aircraft revenues was primarily due to higher volume and mix, largely reflecting higher commercial turboprop volume and the mix of Citation jets sold in the period, partially offset by lower defense volume. We delivered 77 Citation jets and 79 commercial turboprops in the first half of 2026, compared with 80 Citation jets and 64 commercial turboprops in the first half of 2025. The increase in aftermarket parts and services revenues was primarily due to higher pricing. Textron Aviation’s cost of sales increased $26 million, 2%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily reflecting inflation of $47 million, partially offset by lower aircraft volume. Cost of sales increased $246 million, 12%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, primarily reflecting higher aircraft volume and inflation of $92 million. Textron Aviation's selling and administrative expense increased $2 million, 2%, in the second quarter of 2026, and increased $23 million, 11%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025. The increase in the first half of 2026 was primarily due to higher compensation expense. Textron Aviation's segment profit decreased $5 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an unfavorable impact from manufacturing inefficiencies and lower aircraft volume and mix, partially offset by lower warranty costs. Textron Aviation's segment profit increased $27 million, 9%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, primarily due to higher aircraft volume and mix, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from manufacturing inefficiencies and higher selling and administrative expense described above.

Commercial helicopters, parts and services revenues increased $11 million, 3%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher pricing. We delivered 36 commercial helicopters in the second quarter of 2026, compared with 32 commercial helicopters in the second quarter of 2025. Bell’s military aircraft and support programs revenues increased $208 million, 16%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, reflecting higher volume on the MV-75 program and H-1 production, partially offset by lower volume on V-22 production and on military sustainment programs. Commercial helicopters, parts and services revenues decreased $63 million, 9%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, primarily due to lower volume and mix. We delivered 56 commercial helicopters in the first half of 2026, compared with 61 commercial helicopters in the first half of 2025. Bell’s cost of sales increased $76 million, 9%, and $177 million, 11%, in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, largely due to higher net volume and mix described above. 24 Table of Contents Bell's research and development costs decreased $11 million, 29%, and $13 million, 17%, in the second quarter and first half of 2026, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2025, reflecting a reduction in costs on several programs. Bell’s segment profit decreased $5 million, 6%, in the second quarter of 2026, compared with the second quarter of 2025, and its profit margin decreased 90 basis points, primarily due to an unfavorable impact from contract performance and from the mix of military programs described above, partially offset by lower research and development costs. Bell's segment profit decreased $23 million, 14%, in the first half of 2026, compared with the first half of 2025, and its profit margin decreased 160 basis points, largely reflecting an unfavorable impact from the mix of military programs described above, lower commercial volume and mix and contract performance, partially offset by lower research and development costs. The U.S. Government is pursuing an ATR request for $350 million in additional fiscal 2026 funding for the MV-75 program. The U.S. Government has advised that it is not obligated to reimburse Bell for costs incurred beyond currently obligated funding and performance beyond the allotted funds is at Bell’s own risk. If the additional funding is received, it will be used to offset the costs incurred on the program in the third quarter of 2026. Subsequent to the end of our second quarter, in mid-July 2026, Bell substantially exhausted all available fiscal 2026 program funding and has continued performing work at its own risk. If additional funding is not approved and obligated, we could incur unreimbursed costs and recognize an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment of up to approximately $120 million, assuming $350 million in costs incurred in excess of available funding which would also negatively impact our cash flows by approximately $350 million. For additional information, see the MV-75 Program - Funding section in Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies. As the MV-75 program continues to progress, we expect that we will be awarded the long-lead Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) phase of the contract in late 2026 or early 2027. Upon award of the LRIP option, which is largely fixed price, we expect to record an unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment, reflecting higher costs than originally anticipated from when the program was bid, in the range of $60 million to $110 million. We expect the overall MV-75 program to continue to generate a positive profit margin after the adjustment.

The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial 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. Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below: (Dollars in millions) July 4, 2026 January 3, 2026 Manufacturing group Cash and equivalents $ 1,436 $ 1,940 Debt 3,466 3,539 Shareholders’ equity 8,054 7,875 Capital (debt plus shareholders’ equity) 11,520 11,414 Net debt (net of cash and equivalents) to capital 20% 17% Debt to capital 30% 31% Finance group Cash and equivalents $ 170 $ 85 Debt 339 339 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 2030 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 July 4, 2026 and January 3, 2026, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility and there were no letters of credit issued and outstanding 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 from continuing operations for the Manufacturing group as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are summarized below: Six Months Ended (In millions) July 4, 2026 June 28, 2025 Operating activities $ 128 $ 281 Investing activities (219) (38) Financing activities (409) (299) In the first half of 2026, cash flows from operating activities decreased $153 million to $128 million, compared with $281 million in the first half of 2025, largely due to changes in working capital, partially offset by $62 million in lower net income tax payments.

In the first half of 2025, financing activities included payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $11 million. Consolidated Cash Flows The consolidated cash flows from continuing operations after elimination of activity between the borrowing groups, are summarized below: Six Months Ended (In millions) July 4, 2026 June 28, 2025 Operating activities $ 187 $ 264 Investing activities (193) 17 Financing activities (409) (310) In the first half of 2026, cash flows from operating activities decreased $77 million to $187 million, compared with $264 million in the first half of 2025, largely due to changes in working capital, partially offset by a net cash inflow of $72 million from captive financing activities and $64 million in lower net income tax payments. Cash flows used in investing activities in the first half of 2026 included $228 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by $24 million of proceeds from the disposition of non-captive assets. In the first half of 2025, cash flows from investing activities included $59 million of proceeds from the disposition of non-captive assets, $57 million of net proceeds from corporate-owned life insurance policies and $16 million of net proceeds from the disposition of the Powersports business, offset by $134 million of capital expenditures. Cash flows used in financing activities in the first half of 2026 included $377 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $75 million of payments on long-term debt and nonrecourse debt, partially offset by $61 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options granted to employees. In the first half of 2025, cash flows used in financing activities included $429 million of cash paid to repurchase shares of our outstanding common stock and $364 million of payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt, partially offset by $495 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 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. 28 Table of Contents Reclassification adjustments included in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows on page 6 are summarized below: Six Months Ended (In millions) July 4, 2026 June 28, 2025 Reclassification adjustments from investing activities to operating activities: Finance receivable originations for Manufacturing group inventory sales $ (56) $ (90) Cash received from customers 102 64 Total reclassification adjustments from investing activities to operating activities $ 46 $ (26) 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (In millions) July 4, 2026 June 28, 2025 July 4, 2026 June 28, 2025 Gross favorable $ 36 $ 34 $ 61 $ 61 Gross unfavorable (36) (26) (51) (36) Net adjustments $ — $ 8 $ 10 $ 25 29 Table of Contents Forward-Looking Information Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and other oral and written statements made by us from time to time are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

Our business, financial condition and results of operations are subject to various risks. Investors should review and consider the risk factors previously disclosed in the 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2026, and in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 4, 2026, along with the additional risk factors included below. We may disclose changes to these risk factors or additional risk factors in our future filings with the SEC as the business environment and conditions change. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are not material also may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. The global economic impacts of the conflict in the Middle East could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has resulted in significant volatility in the global energy and commodity markets, increased energy and shipping costs, disruptions to international shipping lanes (including the Strait of Hormuz) and heightened risks of supply-chain interruptions, cyber-attacks and terrorism. Certain of our direct or indirect suppliers also have been negatively impacted by these events, resulting in increased costs to us for certain materials and components. The continuation or escalation of hostilities in the Middle East region could adversely affect global economic conditions, lead to other delivery schedule, order activity and/or supply chain disruptions, result in continued elevated transportation and energy costs and other inflationary pressures or otherwise negatively impact our operations. Sustained elevated energy costs, including the cost of jet fuel, could adversely impact demand and/or utilization of our aircraft and rotorcraft products. Furthermore, the potential for retaliatory acts of cyberwarfare against U.S. defense companies in response to the hostilities could result in increased cyber-attacks against us. The impact of any one or more of these or other factors could adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results. Risks related to the intended separation of the Company's Industrial Segment We have recently announced our intention to separate our Industrial segment from the Company and its core aerospace and defense businesses (the Separation) pursuant to a sale of the Industrial businesses, a tax-free separation of the Industrial businesses into a standalone, publicly traded company or another transaction. The Company has begun to explore several paths to effect the Separation, but at this time there is uncertainty as to the terms, structure and timing of any transaction, whether the closing conditions for a transaction will be satisfied or waived, and whether the Separation will be completed on the Company’s targeted timeline or at all. Additional factors such as conditions in the equity and debt markets and other external conditions or developments, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could delay the completion of the Separation relative to its targeted timeline, prevent it from occurring at all or, if it does occur, adversely impact the future operating and financial performance, market position and business strategy for the Company and/or the Industrial segment following the Separation. These or other unanticipated developments could also cause the Separation to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the Separation, if completed, will be successful in meeting its objectives or achieving its intended benefits. We have customer concentration with the U.S. Government; reduction in U.S. Government defense spending or a material reduction or delay in funding of the MV-75 program could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. During 2025, we derived approximately 27% 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 MV-75 program at Bell represents a significant and growing portion of our U.S. Government revenues and backlog. Bell has significantly increased and expects to continue to increase its investments in the resources, facilities and personnel applied to the 31 Table of Contents MV-75 program. However, as described in Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies - MV-75 Program - Funding, subsequent to the end of our second quarter, in mid-July 2026, Bell exhausted substantially all currently available fiscal 2026 MV-75 program funds. While the U.S. Government is pursuing an ATR request for $350 million in additional fiscal 2026 funding for the MV-75 program, approval of the request is not guaranteed. The U.S. Government has advised that is not obligated to reimburse Bell for any costs incurred beyond the current obligated funding allotted for the contract and that any performance beyond the allotted funds is at Bell’s own risk. If additional funding is not approved and obligated, we could incur significant unreimbursed costs and recognize a significant unfavorable cumulative catch-up program adjustment as well as experience an adverse cash flow impact. In addition, while the current Future Years Defense Program indicates a funding level for the MV-75 program of $2.3 billion for the Government’s fiscal 2027 year which begins October 1, 2026, considerable uncertainty exists regarding how future budget and program decisions will develop. We cannot predict the impact on existing, follow-on or future programs from changes in the threat environment, defense spending levels, government priorities, political leadership, procurement practices, inflation and other macroeconomic trends, military strategy, or broader societal changes. Significant changes in national and international priorities for defense spending could affect the funding, or the timing of funding, of our programs, which could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. In particular, a material reduction or delay in funding of the MV-75 program could have a material adverse effect on Bell’s and our cash flows, results of operations and financial condition. Global macroeconomic conditions could negatively impact our business. Global macroeconomic conditions have negatively impacted our business in the past and could in the future negatively impact our business. Negative macroeconomic factors may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as on our distributors, customers, subcontractors and suppliers, and on activity in many of the industries and markets we serve. We cannot predict changes in worldwide or regional economic or political conditions and government policies as such factors are highly volatile and beyond our control. If current macroeconomic pressures, including from inflation and labor and supply chain challenges, continue or if global macroeconomic conditions deteriorate and remain at depressed levels for extended periods, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected. In addition, changes in laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, including increased trade restrictions, tariffs or taxes on imports from countries where we manufacture or sell our products or from where we import products or raw materials (either directly or through our suppliers) could adversely impact our competitive position, business operations or financial results. In particular, recent changes to global tariff policies have created significant uncertainty with respect to trade policies, treaties and tariffs. Our aircraft products, subassemblies, parts and components manufactured in Canada and Mexico are largely qualified under the rules of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) for preferential treatment on tariffs imposed by the U.S. on imports from Canada and Mexico into the United States. The USMCA’s mandatory six-year joint review was held on July 1, 2026, and the United States declined to renew the agreement for an additional 16-year term. Canada and Mexico each expressed support for a 16-year extension. As a result of the United States’ decision not to renew, the agreement now enters a period of annual joint reviews that will continue each year until the parties agree on an extension or the agreement expires on July 1, 2036. USMCA remains in force during this annual review period and our existing tariff preferences, rules of origin qualifications, and investment protections currently remain operative. However, the agreement is now subject to recurring renegotiation risk at each annual review, and any party may withdraw from the agreement upon six months’ written notice. The termination of the agreement, renegotiation of the agreement with terms less favorable to us or the imposition of other U.S. tariff measures imposed under separate legal authorities which override USMCA preferences for covered goods could result in the loss or reduction of preferential tariff treatment which could increase our costs and create compliance and supply-chain disruption risks. These developments could adversely impact us, our distributors, customers, subcontractors or suppliers, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for further discussion of the impact of these tariffs.
