For the fourth quarter ended Dec. 30, the company reported net income of $198 million, or $1.01 per share in earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations. This is slightly lower than the previous year’s figure of $226 million, or $1.07 per share in EPS from continuing operations.

In terms of revenue, Textron saw an increase to $3.89 billion from $3.64 billion. Although analysts polled by FactSet expected revenue of $3.97 billion, the company’s growth is undeniable.

Driving the revenue growth was Textron’s Bell segment, which experienced a $255 million increase to reach $1.1 billion. Textron attributed this growth to higher commercial revenues resulting from increased deliveries, as well as higher military revenues related to the FLRAA program.

Looking ahead to 2024, Textron provided a revenue forecast of approximately $14.6 billion and adjusted earnings ranging from $6.20 to $6.40 per share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had anticipated revenue of $14.69 billion and adjusted earnings of $5.97 per share.
