Second Quarter Segment Results

Textron Aviation

Revenues at Textron Aviation of $1.3 billion were up $123 million from the second quarter of 2021, largely due to higher aircraft and aftermarket volume.

Textron Aviation delivered 48 jets in the quarter, up from 44 last year, and 35 commercial turboprops, up from 33 in last year's second quarter.

Segment profit was $155 million in the second quarter, up $59 million from a year ago, due to the impact from higher volume and mix of $25 million, a favorable impact from performance of $19 million and favorable pricing, net of inflation of $15 million.

Textron Aviation backlog at the end of the second quarter was $5.8 billion.

Bell

Bell revenues were $687 million, down $204 million from last year, due to lower military revenues of $170 million, primarily related to the H-1 program, and lower commercial revenues of $34 million.

Bell delivered 34 commercial helicopters in the quarter, down from 47 last year.

Segment profit of $63 million was down $47 million from last year's second quarter, primarily reflecting the lower volume and mix, partially offset by a favorable impact from performance of $16 million, which included lower operating expenses, partially offset by an unfavorable change in net program adjustments.

Bell backlog at the end of the second quarter was $5.3 billion.

Textron Systems

Revenues at Textron Systems were $293 million, down $40 million from last year's second quarter due to lower volume of $44 million, primarily reflecting the impact of the U.S. Army’s withdrawal from Afghanistan on our fee-for-service and aircraft support contracts.
