To continue to grow our revenues and segment profit, we must successfully develop new products and technologies or modify our existing products and technologies for our current and future markets. Our future performance depends, in part, on our ability to identify emerging technological trends and customer requirements and to develop and maintain competitive products and services. Delays or cost overruns in the development Artificial intelligence technologies have developed rapidly and acceptance of new products or certification of new aircraft and other products occur from time to time and could adversely affect our results of operations. These delays or cost overruns could be caused by unanticipated technological hurdles, production changes to meet customer demands, unanticipated difficulties in obtaining required regulatory certifications of new aircraft or other products, or failure on the part of our suppliers to deliver components as agreed. We also could business may be adversely affected if our research and development efforts are less successful than expected or if these efforts require significantly more funding to achieve our goals than anticipated. In particular, the success of Textron eAviation depends in large part, on our ability to develop and certify new electric and hybrid electric aircraft products in order to achieve our long-term strategy of offering a family of sustainable aircraft for urban air mobility, general aviation, cargo and special mission roles. In addition, new products and technologies could generate unanticipated safety or other concerns resulting in expanded product liability risks, potential product recalls and other regulatory issues that could have an adverse impact on us. Furthermore, because of the lengthy research and development cycle involved in bringing certain of our products to market, we cannot predict the economic conditions that will exist when any new product is complete, and the market for our product offerings does not always develop or continue to expand as we anticipate. successfully

Changes to the United States trade policy have resulted in new or higher tariffs on goods imported from numerous countries, and some countries have imposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States. We are principally a North American manufacturer and 69% of our 2025 revenues were generated in the U.S. 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. 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 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. In addition, our aircraft businesses are working through the tariff reconciliation and refund process with the U.S. Government to recover tariff costs that were previously paid related to materials and components that were subsequently determined to be USMCA compliant. To date, we have not experienced a material adverse impact from these tariffs. We will continue to evaluate the ongoing impact of these tariffs and any further developments or changes in global tariff policies on our business and financial position.

Manufacturing group revenues increased $1.1 billion in 2025, compared with 2024, largely reflecting an increase of $1.4 billion in product revenues. The increase in product revenues in 2025 was partially offset by a decrease of $285 million in service revenues, largely related to the classification of revenues for the MV-75 program, which was service-related prior to the transition of the program to the Engineering and Manufacturing Development phase in the third quarter of 2024 when it became product-related.

As the MV-75 program continues to accelerate, 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. The overall MV-75 program will continue to generate a positive profit margin after the adjustment.

In 2024, our operating results were adversely impacted by a strike at the Textron Aviation segment. On September 21, 2024, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 70, Local Lodge 774 called a strike against Textron Aviation. On October 20, 2024, an agreement was reached on a new five-year labor contract. As a result, our revenues and profit were unfavorably impacted in the second half of 2024 due to delayed aircraft deliveries and manufacturing inefficiencies associated with the labor disruption and the recovery of operating activities. At the Industrial segment, we experienced lower revenues and profit in 2024, largely resulting from a decline in demand in our end markets for Textron Specialized Vehicles products. We are in the process of conducting a strategic review of our powersports product line, as discussed in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements on page 62.
