Textron Inc. Research Report
On July 17, 2013, Textron Inc. (Textron) reported its Q2 2013 financial results posting income from continuing operations of $0.40 per share, compared to income of $0.58 per share in the Q2 2012. The Company's total revenues were $2.8 billion, a decrease of 6% YoY primarily reflecting lower business jet deliveries. The Company's segment profit was $213 million compared to $310 million in Q2 2012, impacted by lower business jet deliveries coupled with $28 million in pre-tax severance costs at Cessna. "Despite weakness in European markets, we saw solid growth at Textron Systems and our Industrial businesses, as well as continued strong commercial orders at Bell," said Scott C. Donnelly, Textron Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "On the other hand, business jet demand continued to be soft, but we believe the cost, production and pricing actions we took are the right actions to support future growth at Cessna." The Company also confirmed its full-year 2013 EPS from continuing operations guidance of $1.90 to $2.10.
