Highlight of Business Operations:

During 2012 and 2011, we changed our estimates of revenues and costs on certain long-term contracts that are accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011 by $12 million and $10 million, respectively, ($8 million and $7 million after tax, or $0.03 and $0.02 per diluted share, respectively). For the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $23 million and $21 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $11 million for each quarter.

The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first half of 2012 and 2011 by $16 million and $24 million, ($10 million and $15 million after tax, or $0.04 and $0.05 per diluted share, respectively). For the first half of 2012 and 2011, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $40 million and $42 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $24 million and $18 million, respectively.

Consolidated manufacturing cost of sales as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues was 82.2% and 82.6% in the second quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. On a dollar basis, consolidated manufacturing cost of sales increased $210 million, 9%, in the second quarter of 2012, compared with the corresponding period of 2011, principally due to higher net sales volume in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments, partially offset by lower net sales volume at Textron Systems. Cost of sales was favorably impacted at the Industrial segment due to the impact of foreign exchange on direct materials and labor of $27 million, largely due to fluctuations with the euro. In the second quarter of 2012, gross margin increased as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues primarily due to favorable product mix at Bell and improved leverage on higher volume at the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments.

Consolidated manufacturing cost of sales as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues was 82.4% and 83.1% in the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. On a dollar basis, consolidated cost of sales increased $467 million, 11%, in the first half of 2012, principally due to higher net sales volume in the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments, partially offset by lower net sales volume at Textron Systems. Cost of sales was favorably impacted at the Industrial segment due to the impact of foreign exchange on direct materials and labor of $33 million, largely due to fluctuations with the euro. In the first half of 2012, gross margin increased as a percentage of Manufacturing revenues primarily due to favorable product mix at Bell and improved leverage on higher volume at the Bell, Cessna and Industrial segments.

In the first half of 2012, Cessnas revenues increased $224 million, 19%, compared with the corresponding period of 2011, primarily due to a $176 million impact from higher Citation business jet volume reflecting a modest recovery in the jet market and an increase of $24 million resulting from higher aftermarket volume, primarily due to part sales. We delivered 87 and 69 Citation business jets in the first half of 2012 and 2011, respectively. During the first half of 2012, the portion of Cessnas revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 28% of Cessnas revenues, compared with 31% in the first half of 2011.
