Textron reported third quarter 2025 income from continuing operations of US$1.31 per share, up from US$1.18 in the same quarter of 2024. Adjusted income from continuing operations reached US$1.55 per share, compared to US$1.40 a year earlier.

Total revenue increased by 5%, supported by gains at Aviation, Bell, and Textron Systems. Chairman and CEO Scott C. Donnelly said higher aircraft deliveries, faster MV-75 production at Bell, and steady results from Systems produced a strong performance.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the manufacturing group reached US$348 million, compared with US$208 million last year. Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions rose to US$281 million, up from US$147 million in 2024.

During the quarter, Textron returned US$206 million to shareholders through share repurchases. Year to date, buybacks totalled US$635 million. The company’s ongoing repurchase activity reflects confidence in its financial strength and growth strategy.

For the full year 2025, Textron reaffirmed its forecast for GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations in the range of US$5.19 to US$5.39. On an adjusted basis, earnings are expected between US$6.00 and US$6.20 per share.

Manufacturing cash flow before pension contributions remains projected between US$900 million and US$1.0 billion.

With continued demand across its core segments and strong cash generation, Textron appears well positioned to sustain growth through the remainder of 2025.
