TEXTRON INC.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

 

Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Textron Inc. (Textron) and its majority-owned subsidiaries.  We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information.  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  The consolidated interim financial statements included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2015.  In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are necessary for the fair presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments. The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group. Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services. Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.  All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated from the Consolidated Financial Statements, including retail and wholesale financing activities for inventory sold by our Manufacturing group and financed by our Finance group.

 

Use of Estimates

We prepare our financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  Our estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of changes, if any, are reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in the period that they are determined.

 

During 2015 and 2014, 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.  These changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the second quarter of 2015 and 2014 by $36 million and $38 million, respectively, ($23 million and $24 million after tax, or $0.08 and $0.09 per diluted share, respectively). For the second quarter of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $40 million and $41 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $4 million and $3 million, respectively.  Gross favorable program profit adjustments for the second quarter of 2014 included $16 million related to the settlement of the System Development and Demonstration phase of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program, which was terminated in October 2008.

 

The changes in estimates increased income from continuing operations before income taxes in the first half of 2015 and 2014 by $54 million and $59 million, ($34 million and $37 million after tax, or $0.12 and $0.13 per diluted share, respectively).  For the first half of 2015 and 2014, the gross favorable program profit adjustments totaled $73 million and $65 million, respectively, and the gross unfavorable program profit adjustments totaled $19 million and $6 million, respectively.  Gross favorable program profit adjustments for the first half of 2014 included $16 million related to the ARH program as described above.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, that outlines a comprehensive five-step revenue recognition model based on the principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date of the standard to the beginning of 2018 for public companies, with an option that would permit companies to adopt the standard as early as the original effective date of 2017.  The new standard may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis whereby it would be applied to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date, with a cumulative catch-up adjustment recorded to beginning retained earnings at the effective date for those contracts.  We are currently evaluating the impacts of adoption on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures, along with the implementation approach to be used.

In April 2015, our Bell segment announced cost reduction actions that resulted in a headcount reduction of approximately 12% of the Bell workforce.  We determined that a curtailment had occurred in Bell’s pension plan as a result of this reduction, which triggered a remeasurement of the projected benefit obligation. We remeasured Bell’s pension plan incorporating a 50 basis-point increase in the discount rate to 4.75%, while other assumptions remained consistent with year-end.  The remeasurement reduced our unrealized losses by approximately $98 million which was recorded in other comprehensive income in the second quarter.

 

Note 3.  Earnings Per Share

 

We calculate basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) based on net income, which approximates income available to common shareholders for each period. Basic EPS is calculated using the two-class method, which includes the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period and restricted stock units to be paid in stock that are deemed participating securities as they provide nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Diluted EPS considers the dilutive effect of all potential future common stock, including stock options. In addition, diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 includes the impact of the initial delivery of shares under an Accelerated Share Repurchase agreement (ASR), which was settled in December 2014 as disclosed in Note 9 of our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Credit Quality Indicators and Nonaccrual Finance Receivables

We internally assess the quality of our finance receivables based on a number of key credit quality indicators and statistics such as delinquency, loan balance to estimated collateral value and the financial strength of individual borrowers and guarantors. Because many of these indicators are difficult to apply across an entire class of receivables, we evaluate individual loans on a quarterly basis and classify these loans into three categories based on the key credit quality indicators for the individual loan. These three categories are performing, watchlist and nonaccrual.

 

We classify finance receivables as nonaccrual if credit quality indicators suggest full collection of principal and interest is doubtful. In addition, we automatically classify accounts as nonaccrual once they are contractually delinquent by more than three months unless collection of principal and interest is not doubtful.  Recognition of interest income is suspended for these accounts and all cash collections are used to reduce the net investment balance.  We resume the accrual of interest when the loan becomes contractually current through payment according to the original terms of the loan or, if a loan has been modified, following a period of performance under the terms of the modification, provided we conclude that collection of all principal and interest is no longer doubtful.  Previously suspended interest income is recognized at that time.  Accounts are classified as watchlist when credit quality indicators have deteriorated as compared with typical underwriting criteria, and we believe collection of full principal and interest is probable but not certain.  All other finance receivables that do not meet the watchlist or nonaccrual categories are classified as performing.

 

Finance receivables categorized based on the credit quality indicators discussed above are summarized as follows:

We measure delinquency based on the contractual payment terms of our finance receivables.  In determining the delinquency aging category of an account, any/all principal and interest received is applied to the most past-due principal and/or interest amounts due. If a significant portion of the contractually due payment is delinquent, the entire finance receivable balance is reported in accordance with the most past-due delinquency aging category.

Impaired Loans

On a quarterly basis, we evaluate individual finance receivables for impairment in non-homogeneous portfolios and larger balance accounts in homogeneous loan portfolios.  A finance receivable is considered impaired when it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan agreement based on our review of the credit quality indicators discussed above.  Impaired finance receivables include both nonaccrual accounts and accounts for which full collection of principal and interest remains probable, but the account’s original terms have been, or are expected to be, significantly modified.  If the modification specifies an interest rate equal to or greater than a market rate for a finance receivable with comparable risk, the account is not considered impaired in years subsequent to the modification.  Interest income recognized on impaired loans was not significant in the first half of 2015 or 2014.

Allowance for Losses

We maintain an allowance for losses on finance receivables at a level considered adequate to cover inherent losses in the portfolio based on management’s evaluation.  For larger balance accounts specifically identified as impaired, a reserve is established based on comparing the expected future cash flows, discounted at the finance receivable’s effective interest rate, or the fair value of the underlying collateral if the finance receivable is collateral dependent, to its carrying amount.  The expected future cash flows consider collateral value; financial performance and liquidity of our borrower; existence and financial strength of guarantors; estimated recovery costs, including legal expenses; and costs associated with the repossession and eventual disposal of collateral.  When there is a range of potential outcomes, we perform multiple discounted cash flow analyses and weight the potential outcomes based on their relative likelihood of occurrence.  The evaluation of our portfolio is inherently subjective, as it requires estimates, including the amount and timing of future cash flows expected to be received on impaired finance receivables and the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, which may differ from actual results.  While our analysis is specific to each individual account, critical factors included in this analysis include industry valuation guides, age and physical condition of the collateral, payment history and existence and financial strength of guarantors.

 

We also establish an allowance for losses to cover probable but specifically unknown losses existing in the portfolio.  This allowance is established as a percentage of non-recourse finance receivables, which have not been identified as requiring specific

reserves.  The percentage is based on a combination of factors, including historical loss experience, current delinquency and default trends, collateral values and both general economic and specific industry trends.  Finance receivables are charged off at the earlier of the date the collateral is repossessed or when no payment has been received for six months, unless management deems the receivable collectible.

Note 7.  Derivative Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

We measure fair value at the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  We prioritize the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability into a three-tier fair value hierarchy.  This fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority (Level 1) to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority (Level 3) to unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exist, requiring companies to develop their own assumptions.  Observable inputs that do not meet the criteria of Level 1, which include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, are categorized as Level 2. Level 3 inputs are those that reflect our estimates about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances.  Valuation techniques for assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs may include methodologies such as the market approach, the income approach or the cost approach and may use unobservable inputs such as projections, estimates and management’s interpretation of current market data.  These unobservable inputs are utilized only to the extent that observable inputs are not available or cost effective to obtain.

Assets and Liabilities Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We manufacture and sell our products in a number of countries throughout the world, and, therefore, we are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  We utilize foreign currency exchange contracts to manage this volatility. Our foreign currency exchange contracts are measured at fair value using the market method valuation technique.  The inputs to this technique utilize current foreign currency exchange forward market rates published by third-party leading financial news and data providers.  These are observable data that represent the rates that the financial institution uses for contracts entered into at that date; however, they are not based on actual transactions so they are classified as Level 2. At July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, we had foreign currency exchange contracts with notional amounts upon which the contracts were based of $468 million and $696 million, respectively.  At July 4, 2015, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $15 million asset and a $35 million liability. At January 3, 2015, the fair value amounts of our foreign currency exchange contracts were a $16 million asset and a $26 million liability.

 

We primarily utilize forward exchange contracts which have maturities of no more than three years.  These contracts qualify as cash flow hedges and are intended to offset the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on forecasted sales, inventory purchases and overhead expenses.  At July 4, 2015, we had a net deferred loss of $21 million in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges.  Net gains and losses recognized in earnings and Accumulated other comprehensive loss on cash flow hedges, including gains and losses related to hedge ineffectiveness, were not significant in the periods presented.

 

We hedge our net investment position in major currencies and generate foreign currency interest payments that offset other transactional exposures in these currencies.  To accomplish this, we borrow directly in foreign currency and designate a portion of foreign currency debt as a hedge of a net investment.  We record changes in the fair value of these contracts in other comprehensive income to the extent they are effective as cash flow hedges.  Currency effects on the effective portion of these hedges, which are reflected in the foreign currency translation adjustments within Accumulated other comprehensive loss, were not significant in the periods presented.

 

Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

During the periods ended July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, the Finance group’s impaired nonaccrual finance receivables of $39 million and $49 million, respectively, were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).  Impaired nonaccrual finance receivables represent assets recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis since the measurement of required reserves on our impaired finance receivables is significantly dependent on the fair value of the underlying collateral.  For impaired nonaccrual finance receivables secured by aviation assets, the fair values of collateral are determined primarily based on the use of industry pricing guides.  Fair value measurements recorded on impaired finance receivables resulted in charges to provision for loan losses totaling $3 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended July 4, 2015 and $6 million and $11 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively.

Fair value for the Manufacturing group debt is determined using market observable data for similar transactions (Level 2).  At July 4, 2015 and January 3, 2015, approximately 73% and 75%, respectively, of the fair value of term debt for the Finance group was determined based on discounted cash flow analyses using observable market inputs from debt with similar duration, subordination and credit default expectations (Level 2).  The remaining Finance group debt was determined based on observable market transactions (Level 1). Fair value estimates for finance receivables were determined based on internally developed discounted cash flow models primarily utilizing significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which include estimates of the rate of return, financing cost, capital structure and/or discount rate expectations of current market participants combined with estimated loan cash flows based on credit losses, payment rates and expectations of borrowers’ ability to make payments on a timely basis.

* On March 14, 2014, we completed the acquisition of Beechcraft and as a result, the six-month period ended June 28, 2014 does not reflect a full six months of Beechcraft operating results.

 

An analysis of our consolidated operating results is set forth below. A more detailed analysis of our segments’ operating results is provided in the Segment Analysis section on pages 18 to 23.

 

Revenues

Revenues decreased $258 million, 7%, in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, as decreases at the Bell and Textron Aviation segments were partially offset by higher revenues in the Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The net revenue decrease included the following factors:

 

·                  Lower Bell revenues of $269 million, largely due to a $148 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries, a decrease of $61 million in other military revenues primarily due to $41 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014 related to the settlement of the System Development and Demonstration (SDD) phase of the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter (ARH) program, and a decrease of $60 million in commercial revenues, largely related to lower commercial aircraft deliveries.

·                  Lower Textron Aviation revenues of $59 million, primarily due to lower Citation jet revenues of $45 million on the same number of units sold reflecting a change in the mix of jets sold during the period.

·                  Higher Textron Systems revenues of $40 million, primarily due to higher volume of $51 million in the Unmanned Systems product line and higher volume of $26 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line, partially offset by lower volume of $28 million in the Weapons and Sensors product line.

·      Higher Industrial segment revenues of $33 million, primarily due to higher volume of $92 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $69 million.

 

Revenues decreased $32 million, 1%, in the first half of 2015, compared with the first half of 2014, as decreases in the Bell, Finance and Textron Systems segments were partially offset by higher revenues in the Textron Aviation and Industrial segments.  The net revenue decrease included the following factors:

 

·                  Lower Bell revenues of $329 million, largely due to a $232 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries, a decrease of $58 million in other military revenues primarily due to $41 million related to the ARH program as described above, and a decrease of $39 million in commercial revenues, largely related to lower commercial aircraft deliveries.

·                  Lower Finance revenues of $10 million, primarily attributable to lower average finance receivables.

·                  Lower Textron Systems revenues of $8 million, primarily due to lower volume of $46 million in the Weapons and Sensors product line, lower volume of $29 million in the Marine and Land Systems product line, mostly offset by higher volume of $62 million in the Unmanned Systems product line.

·                  Higher Textron Aviation revenues of $207 million, primarily due to the impact of the Beechcraft acquisition.

·                  Higher Industrial segment revenues of $108 million, primarily due to higher volume of $191 million, largely in the Fuel Systems and Functional Components product line, and an impact of $55 million from acquisitions, partially offset by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $131 million.

Cost of Sales and Selling and Administrative Expense

Manufacturing cost of sales and selling and administrative expense together comprise our operating expenses. Cost of sales decreased $240 million, 8%, in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, largely due to lower volume at the Bell and Textron Aviation segments, partially offset by higher volume in the Industrial segment, and a favorable foreign exchange impact of $61 million mostly related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. The 90 basis point improvement in gross margin was largely driven by Textron Aviation, primarily reflecting lower amortization of fair value step-up adjustments related to acquired Beechcraft inventories.

 

Cost of sales decreased $88 million in the first half of 2015, compared with the first half of 2014, largely due to lower volume at the Bell segment, partially offset by an increase from acquired businesses, primarily Beechcraft, higher volume in the Industrial segment and a favorable foreign exchange impact of $114 million mostly related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro. The 100 basis point improvement in gross margin was largely driven by Textron Aviation, primarily reflecting lower amortization of fair value step-up adjustments related to acquired Beechcraft inventories and the benefit of the integrated cost structure of Beechcraft and Cessna.

 

Selling and administrative expense decreased $24 million, 7%, in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to cost reduction initiatives in the Textron Aviation and Bell segments.  In the first half of 2015, selling and administrative expense increased $11 million, compared with the first half of 2014, largely reflecting higher operating expenses related to acquired businesses, primarily Beechcraft, partially offset by improvements related to the cost reduction initiatives and an $11 million favorable foreign exchange impact mostly from the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Euro.

 

Acquisition and Restructuring Costs

In connection with the integration of Beechcraft, we initiated a restructuring program in our Textron Aviation segment in the first quarter of 2014 to align the Cessna and Beechcraft businesses, reduce operating redundancies and maximize efficiencies.  During the second quarter and first half of 2014, we recorded charges of $20 million and $25 million, respectively, related to these restructuring activities that were included in the Acquisition and restructuring costs line on the Consolidated Statements of Operations, along with $11 million of transaction costs incurred during the first quarter of 2014.

Segment Analysis

 

We operate in, and report financial information for, the following five business segments: Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems, Industrial and Finance.  Segment profit is an important measure used for evaluating performance and for decision-making purposes.  Segment profit for the manufacturing segments excludes interest expense, certain corporate expenses and acquisition and restructuring costs related to the Beechcraft acquisition. The measurement for the Finance segment includes interest income and expense along with intercompany interest income and expense.

 

In our discussion of comparative results for the Manufacturing group, changes in revenue and segment profit typically are expressed for our commercial business in terms of volume, pricing, foreign exchange and acquisitions.  Additionally, changes in segment profit may be expressed in terms of mix, inflation and cost performance. Volume changes in revenue represent increases/decreases in the number of units delivered or services provided.  Pricing represents changes in unit pricing.  Foreign exchange is the change resulting from translating foreign-denominated amounts into U.S. dollars at exchange rates that are different from the prior period.  Revenues generated by acquired businesses are reflected in Acquisitions for a twelve-month period. For segment profit, mix represents a change due to the composition of products and/or services sold at different profit margins.  Inflation represents higher material, wages, benefits, pension or other costs.  Performance reflects an increase or decrease in research and development, depreciation, selling and administrative costs, warranty, product liability, quality/scrap, labor efficiency, overhead, product line profitability, start-up, ramp up and cost-reduction initiatives or other manufacturing inputs.

Table of Contents

 

Approximately 28% of our 2014 revenues were derived from contracts with the U.S. Government.  For our segments that have significant contracts with the U.S. Government, we typically express changes in segment profit related to the government business in terms of volume, changes in program performance or changes in contract mix. Changes in volume that are described in net sales typically drive corresponding changes in our segment profit based on the profit rate for a particular contract. Changes in program performance typically relate to profit recognition associated with revisions to total estimated costs at completion that reflect improved or deteriorated operating performance or award fee rates. Changes in contract mix refers to changes in operating margin due to a change in the relative volume of contracts with higher or lower fee rates such that the overall average margin rate for the segment changes.

In the second quarter of 2015, Textron Aviation’s revenues decreased $59 million, 5%, compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower volume and mix of $64 million. This decrease was primarily due to lower Citation jet revenues of $45 million on the same number of units sold, reflecting a change in the mix of jets sold during the period. We delivered 36 Citation jets and 30 King Air turboprops in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 36 Citation jets and 34 King Air turboprops in the second quarter of 2014.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 31% of its total revenues in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 32% in the second quarter of 2014.

 

In the first half of 2015, Textron Aviation’s revenues increased $207 million, 11%, compared with the first half of 2014, primarily due to the impact of the Beechcraft acquisition. Lower volume and mix of $23 million was primarily the result of lower Citation jet revenues of $67 million, reflecting a change in the mix of jets sold during the period, partially offset by higher military volume of $56 million.  We delivered 69 Citation jets and 55 King Air turboprops in the first half of 2015, compared with 71 Citation jets and 42 King Air turboprops in the first half of 2014.  The portion of the segment’s revenues derived from aftermarket sales and services represented 33% of its total revenues in both the first half of 2015 and 2014.

 

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses decreased by $119 million in the second quarter of 2015 compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to lower net sales volume as described above and lower amortization of $27 million related to fair value step-up adjustments of acquired Beechcraft inventories sold during the period.

 

Textron Aviation’s operating expenses increased $94 million in the first half of 2015 compared with the first half of 2014, primarily due to the incremental operating costs related to the Beechcraft acquisition in the first quarter, partially offset by lower amortization of $34 million related to fair value step-up adjustments of acquired Beechcraft inventories sold during the period.

Bell’s revenues decreased $269 million, 24%, in the second quarter of 2015, compared with the second quarter of 2014, primarily due to the following factors:

 

·

$148 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries, as we delivered 6 V-22 aircraft in the second quarter of 2015 compared with 10 V-22 aircraft in the second quarter of 2014.

·

$61 million decrease in other military revenues primarily due to $41 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014 related to the settlement of the SDD phase of the ARH program. Bell delivered 6 H-1 aircraft in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 8 H-1 aircraft in the second quarter of 2014.

·

$60 million decrease in commercial revenues, largely related to lower commercial aircraft deliveries. Bell delivered 39 commercial aircraft in the second quarter of 2015, compared with 46 commercial aircraft in the second quarter of 2014.

Bell’s revenues decreased $329 million, 17%, in the first half of 2015, compared with the first half of 2014, primarily due to the following factors:

 

·

$232 million decrease in V-22 program revenues, primarily reflecting lower aircraft deliveries, as we delivered 12 V-22 aircraft in the first half of 2015, compared with 18 V-22 aircraft in the first half of 2014.

·

$58 million decrease in other military revenues primarily due to $41 million related to the ARH program as described above. Bell delivered 10 H-1 aircraft in the first half of 2015, compared with 13 H-1 aircraft in the first half of 2014.

·

$39 million decrease in commercial revenues, largely related to lower commercial aircraft deliveries. Bell delivered 74 commercial aircraft in the first half of 2015, compared with 80 commercial aircraft in the first half of 2014.

 

Bell’s operating expenses decreased $229 million and $269 million in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2014, primarily due to lower net sales volume as described above.

 

As a result of cost reduction actions announced in April 2015, Bell incurred approximately $40 million in severance and benefit costs during the quarter.  The impact of the restructuring on Bell’s segment profit was not significant due to cost savings from headcount reductions and the impact of including a portion of these costs in our indirect cost rates. These actions reduced Bell’s headcount by approximately 1,100 employees representing approximately 12% of the Bell workforce.

Bell’s segment profit decreased $40 million and $60 million in the second quarter and first half of 2015, respectively, compared with the corresponding periods of 2014. The impact of volume and mix was largely the result of lower V-22 aircraft deliveries, lower commercial aircraft deliveries and a $16 million favorable program profit adjustment in the second quarter of 2014 related to the ARH program as described above. The unfavorable impact of volume and mix was partially offset by $29 million of favorable performance, largely related to ongoing cost reduction activities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our financings are conducted through two separate borrowing groups.  The Manufacturing group consists of Textron consolidated with its majority-owned subsidiaries that operate in the Textron Aviation, Bell, Textron Systems and Industrial segments.  The Finance group, which also is the Finance segment, consists of Textron Financial Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries.  We designed this framework to enhance our borrowing power by separating the Finance group.  Our Manufacturing group operations include the development, production and delivery of tangible goods and services, while our Finance group provides financial services.  Due to the fundamental differences between each borrowing group’s activities, investors, rating agencies and analysts use different measures to evaluate each group’s performance.  To support those evaluations, we present balance sheet and cash flow information for each borrowing group within the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Key information that is utilized in assessing our liquidity is summarized below:

We believe that our calculations of debt to capital and net debt to capital are useful measures as they provide a summary indication of the level of debt financing (i.e., leverage) that is in place to support our capital structure, as well as to provide an indication of the capacity to add further leverage.  We believe that we will have sufficient cash to meet our future needs, based on our existing cash balances, the cash we expect to generate from our manufacturing operations and other available funding alternatives, as appropriate.

 

Textron has a senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires in October 2018 for an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion, of which up to $100 million is available for the issuance of letters of credit.  At July 4, 2015, there were no amounts borrowed against the facility. We also maintain an effective shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that allows us to issue an unlimited amount of public debt and other securities.

Total cash used in financing activities in the first half of 2015 consisted of payments on long-term and nonrecourse debt of $130 million, partially offset by an increase in short-term debt of $105 million, primarily from the issuance of commercial paper.  Cash flows from financing activities in the first half of 2014 included proceeds of $1.2 billion from long-term debt, which was used primarily to finance a portion of the Beechcraft acquisition.  Cash flows used in financing activities also included $87 million and $150 million of share repurchases in the first half of 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Captive Financing and Other Intercompany Transactions

The Finance group finances retail purchases and leases for new and pre-owned aircraft and helicopters manufactured by our Manufacturing group, otherwise known as captive financing.  In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash received from customers is reflected as operating activities when received from third parties.  However, in the cash flow information provided for the separate borrowing groups, cash flows related to captive financing activities are reflected based on the operations of each group.  For example, when product is sold by our Manufacturing group to a customer and is financed by the Finance group, the origination of the finance receivable is recorded within investing activities as a cash outflow in the Finance group’s statement of cash flows.  Meanwhile, in the Manufacturing group’s statement of cash flows, the cash received from the Finance group on the customer’s behalf is recorded within operating cash flows as a cash inflow.  Although cash is transferred between the two borrowing groups, there is no cash transaction reported in the consolidated cash flows at the time of the original financing.  These

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations are disclosed on pages 33 through 36 in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides an update of the year-end disclosure for long-term contracts to include program profit adjustments made during the quarter.

 

Long-Term Contracts

We make a substantial portion of our sales to government customers pursuant to long-term contracts. These contracts require development and delivery of products over multiple years and may contain fixed-price purchase options for additional products. We account for these long-term contracts under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under this method, we estimate profit as the difference between total estimated revenues and cost of a contract. The percentage-of-completion method of accounting involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion and, in some cases, includes estimates of recoveries asserted against the customer for changes in specifications. Due to the size, length of time and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of total contract costs and revenues through completion is complicated and subject to many variables relative to the outcome of future events over a period of several years. We are required to make numerous assumptions and estimates relating to items such as expected engineering requirements, complexity of design and related development costs, product performance, performance of subcontractors, availability and cost of materials, labor productivity and cost, overhead and capital costs, manufacturing efficiencies and the achievement of contract milestones, including product deliveries, technical requirements, or schedule.

 

At the outset of each contract, we estimate the initial profit booking rate. The initial profit booking rate of each contract considers risks surrounding the ability to achieve the technical requirements (for example, a newly-developed product versus a mature product), schedule (for example, the number and type of milestone events), and costs by contract requirements in the initial estimated costs at completion. Profit booking rates may increase during the performance of the contract if we successfully retire risks surrounding the technical, schedule, and costs aspects of the contract. Likewise, the profit booking rate may decrease if we are not successful in retiring the risks; and, as a result, our estimated costs at completion increase. All of the estimates are subject to change during the performance of the contract and, therefore, may affect the profit booking rate. When adjustments are required, any changes from prior estimates are recognized using the cumulative catch-up method with the impact of the change from inception-to-date recorded in the current period. The aggregate gross amount of all program profit adjustments that are included within segment profit are presented below.

The Committee may grant more than one Award to a Participant and may designate an Eligible Individual as a Participant for overlapping periods of time.

 

5. Shares Subject to the Plan

 

(a)    Plan Limit. Subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 13 of the Plan, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued for all purposes under the Plan shall be 17,000,000, plus any Shares that become available for issuance upon cancellation, forfeiture, or expiration of awards granted under the Prior Plan without having been exercised or settled.  Shares to be issued under the Plan may be authorized and unissued shares, issued shares that have been reacquired by the Company (in the open-market or in private transactions) and that are being held in treasury, or a combination thereof.  No more than 17,000,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options.

 

(b)    Rules Applicable to Determining Shares Available for Issuance. The number of Shares remaining available for issuance will be reduced by the number of Shares subject to outstanding Awards that are both denominated and intended to be settled in Shares and, for all other awards, by the number of Shares actually delivered upon settlement or payment of the Award. For purposes of determining the number of Shares that remain available for issuance under the Plan, (i) the number of Shares that are tendered by a Participant or withheld by the Company to pay the exercise price of an Award or to satisfy the Participant’s tax withholding obligations in connection with the exercise or settlement of an Award and (ii) all of the Shares covered by a stock-settled Stock Appreciation Right to the extent exercised, will not be added back to the Plan Limit. In addition, for purposes of determining the number of Shares that remain available for issuance under the Plan, the number of Shares corresponding to Awards that are both denominated and intended to be settled in Shares under the Plan that are forfeited or canceled or otherwise expire for any reason without having been exercised or settled or that is settled through issuance of consideration other than Shares (including cash) shall be added back to the Plan Limit and again be available for the grant of Awards; provided, however, that this provision shall not be applicable with respect to (i) the cancellation of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option upon the

 

5



 

exercise of the Option or (ii) the cancellation of an Option granted in tandem with a Stock Appreciation Right upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right.

 

(c)    Special Limits. Anything to the contrary in Section 5(a) above notwithstanding, but subject to adjustment under Sections 5(b) and 13 of the Plan, the following special limits shall apply to Shares available for Awards under the Plan:

 

(i)     the maximum number of Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards of Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Stock, Performance Share Units and Other Awards that are payable in Shares granted under the Plan shall equal 4,250,000 Shares in the aggregate.

 

(ii)    the maximum number of Shares that may be made subject to Options and Stock Appreciation Rights granted to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year shall equal 700,000 Shares, and if any Option or Stock Appreciation Right is forfeited, canceled or otherwise expires for any reason without having been exercised, the Shares subject to such Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be included in the determination of the aggregate number of Shares issued to such employee under the Plan.

 

(iii)   the maximum amount of Awards (other than those Awards set forth in Section 5(c)(ii)) that may be (1) awarded to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year (with respect to Awards settled in Shares) is 700,000 Shares measured as of the date of grant, or (2) paid to any Eligible Individual in any calendar year (with respect to Awards settled in cash) is $15 million; and

 

(iv)   A maximum of five percent (5%) of the aggregate number of Shares available for issuance under the Plan may be covered by Awards without the minimum vesting period otherwise required by Sections 7(f) (minimum vesting for Options), 8(a) (minimum vesting for Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units), 9(c) (minimum vesting for Stock Appreciation Rights), 10(a) (minimum vesting for Performance Stock and Performance Share Units) and 11 (minimum vesting for other Awards).

 

(d)    Any Shares underlying Substitute Awards shall not be counted against the number of Shares remaining for issuance and shall not be subject to Section 5(c).

 

6. Awards in General

 

(a)    Types of Awards. Awards under the Plan may consist of Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, Stock Appreciation Rights, Performance Stock, Performance Share Units and Other Awards. Any Award described in Sections 7 through 11 of the Plan may be granted singly or in combination or tandem with any other Award, as the Committee may determine. Awards under the Plan may be made in combination with, in replacement of, or as alternatives to awards or rights under any other compensation or benefit plan of the Company, including the plan of any acquired entity.

 

(b)    Terms Set Forth in Award Document. The terms and conditions of each Award shall be set forth in an Award Document in a form approved by the Committee for such Award, which Award Document shall contain terms and conditions consistent with the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to applicable laws, the Committee may accelerate (i) the vesting or payment of any Award, (ii) the lapse of restrictions on any Award or (iii) the date on which any Award first becomes exercisable. The Committee shall exercise this discretion only in the event of death, disability, Change of Control, retirement, or involuntary termination without Cause. The terms of Awards may vary among Participants, and the Plan does not impose upon the Committee any requirement to make Awards subject to uniform terms. Accordingly, the terms of individual Award Documents may vary.

 

(c)    Termination of Employment. The Committee shall specify at or after the time of grant of an Award the provisions governing the disposition of an Award in the event of a Participant’s termination of employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, in connection with a Participant’s termination of employment, the Committee shall have the discretion to accelerate the vesting, exercisability or settlement of, eliminate the restrictions and conditions applicable to, alter the form of payment, or extend the post-termination exercise period of an outstanding Award. Such provisions may be specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a subsequent time.

(d)    Change of Control. (i) The Committee shall have full authority to determine the effect, if any, of a Change of Control of the Company or any Subsidiary on the vesting, exercisability, settlement, payment or lapse of restrictions applicable to an Award, which effect may be specified in the applicable Award Document or determined at a subsequent time. Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board or the Committee shall, at any time prior to, coincident with, or after the effective time of a Change of Control, take such actions as it may consider appropriate, including:  (A) providing for the acceleration of any vesting conditions relating to the exercise or settlement of an Award or that an Award shall terminate or expire unless exercised or settled in full on or before a date fixed by the Committee; (B) making such adjustments to the Awards then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change of Control; (C) causing the Awards then outstanding to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by the surviving corporation in such Change of Control; or (D) permitting or requiring Participants to surrender outstanding Options and Stock Appreciation Rights in exchange for a cash payment equal to the difference, if any, between the highest price paid for a Share in the Change of Control transaction and the exercise price of the Award.   If an Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, the Committee shall have discretion to alter the terms of the Award only to the extent that the alteration would not cause the Award to fail to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A.  In addition, except as otherwise specified in an Award Document (or a Participant’s written employment agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary) if a Participant’s employment with the Company and Subsidiaries is terminated involuntarily without Cause, within two years after a Change of Control:

 

(1)    any and all Options and Stock Appreciation Rights outstanding as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination shall become immediately exercisable;

 

(2)    any restrictions imposed on Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units outstanding as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination shall lapse;

 

(3)    the Performance Targets with respect to all Performance Share Units, Performance Stock and other performance-based Awards granted pursuant to Sections 6(g) or 10 outstanding as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination shall be deemed to have been attained at the specified target level of performance;

 

(4)    all Awards denominated in Shares outstanding as of the effective date of the Participant’s termination shall be immediately vested; and

 

(5)    any Award that became earned or vested as a result of the Participant’s termination or the Change of Control shall be paid in full within 30 days after the vesting date (unless the payment would constitute an impermissible acceleration under Section 409A of the Code, in which case the payment shall be made on the original distribution date).

 

To the extent provided under the applicable Award Document, resignation by a Participant for “good reason” (as defined in the Award Document) shall be treated as an involuntary termination of the Participant’s employment without Cause.

 

(ii)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan or any Award Document, the provisions of this Section 6(d) may not be terminated, amended, or modified upon or after a Change of Control in a manner that would adversely affect a Participant’s rights with respect to an outstanding Award without the prior written consent of the Participant. Subject to Section 16 and the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, the Board, upon recommendation of the Committee, may terminate, amend or modify this Section 6(d) at any time and from time to time prior to the approval by the shareholders of the Company of a transaction which would result in a Change of Control (or, if earlier, the occurrence of a Change of Control).

 

(e)    Dividends and Dividend Equivalents. The Committee may provide Participants with the right to receive dividends or payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to an outstanding Award, which payments can either be paid currently or deemed to have been reinvested in Shares, and can be made in Shares, cash or a combination thereof, as the Committee shall determine; provided, however, that the terms of any payment or reinvestment of dividends (including the time and form in which reinvested dividends will be paid to the Participant) must be specified in the Award Document when the Award is granted and must comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.   Dividends or dividend equivalents that are paid currently with respect to any Award generally shall be paid at the same time as

 

7



 

dividends are paid to the Company’s shareholders, and in no event later than 2½ months after the end of the year in which the dividend record date falls.  Dividends or dividend equivalents that are reinvested with respect to any Award shall vest and be paid out at the same time and under the same conditions as the underlying Award.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be paid with respect to (i) Options or Stock Appreciation Rights or (ii) Performance Stock or Performance Share Units prior to payment of the Award.

 

(f)    Rights of a Shareholder. A Participant shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to Shares covered by an Award (including voting rights) until the date the Participant or his or her nominee becomes the holder of record of such Shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such date, except as provided in Section 13.

 

(g)    Performance-Based Awards. (i) The Committee may determine whether any Award (or portion of an Award) under the Plan is intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code. Any such Awards (or portions of Awards) designated to be “performance-based compensation” shall be conditioned on the achievement of one or more Performance Targets to the extent required by Section 162(m) of the Code and will be subject to all other conditions and requirements of Section 162(m). The Performance Targets will consist of specified levels of one or more of the following performance criteria as the Committee deems appropriate: operating cash flows from continuing operations; operating working capital; free cash flow; cash efficiency; revenues; segment profit; corporate expenses; special charges; gain (loss) on sale of business; income from continuing operations; net income; EBITDA—earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; EBIT—earnings before interest and taxes; EPS—earnings per share, as adjusted EPS; ROA—return on assets; ROS—return on sales; ROE—return on equity; ROIC—return on invested capital; WACC—weighted average cost of capital; total shareholder return; stock price appreciation; growth in managed assets; organic growth; cost performance; net cost reductions; inventory turns; selling and administrative expense as a percentage of sales; days sales outstanding; ratio of income to fixed charges; segment profit margins; total profit margin; EVA—economic value added; intrinsic value and effective income tax rate.  The Performance Targets may be described in terms of objectives that are related to the individual Participant or objectives that are Company-wide or related to a Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit and may be measured on an absolute or cumulative basis or on the basis of percentage of improvement over time, and may be measured in terms of Company performance (or performance of the applicable Subsidiary, division, department, region, function or business unit) or measured relative to selected peer companies or a market index. In addition, for Awards or portions of Awards not intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee may establish Performance Targets based on other criteria as it deems appropriate.

 

(ii)    The Participants will be designated, and the applicable Performance Targets will be established, by the Committee within ninety (90) days following the commencement of the applicable Performance Period (or such earlier or later date permitted or required by Section 162(m) of the Code). Any payment of an Award that is designated to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code shall be conditioned on the written certification of the Committee in each case that the Performance Targets and any other material conditions were satisfied. The Committee may determine, at the time of Award grant and to the extent permitted by Code Section 162(m), that if performance exceeds the specified Performance Targets, the Award may be settled with payment greater than the Target Number, but in no event may such payment exceed the limits set forth in Section 5(c). Similarly, the Committee may establish a payment that is below the Target Number but above a threshold level of payment if performance is below established Performance Targets. The Committee retains the right to reduce any Award notwithstanding the attainment of the Performance Targets. The Committee does not, however, retain any right to increase the amount otherwise determined under the provisions of an Award or portion of an Award that is intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code.

 

(h)    Deferrals.  No Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall include a right to defer gain upon exercise or any other deferral feature. Deferrals of other Awards shall be subject to provisions of the Award Document or another plan document that satisfies the requirements of Section 409A of the Code.

 

8



 

(i)     Repricing of Options and Stock Appreciation Rights. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, except as may be specifically authorized by the Company’s shareholders, at any time when the exercise price of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right is above the Fair Market Value of a Share, the Company shall not reduce the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right and shall not exchange such Option or Stock Appreciation Right for a new Award with a lower (or no) exercise price or for cash.  The foregoing shall not (i) prevent adjustments pursuant to Section 13 or (ii) apply to grants of Substitute Awards.

 

(j)     Clawback Provision.  The Committee shall, in all appropriate circumstances, require reimbursement of any annual incentive payment or long-term incentive payment under any Award to an executive officer where: (1) the payment was predicated upon achieving certain financial results that were subsequently the subject of a substantial restatement of Company financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission; (2) the Committee determines the executive engaged in intentional misconduct that caused or substantially caused the need for the substantial restatement; and (3) a lower payment would have been made to the executive based upon the restated financial results. In each such instance, the Company will, to the extent practicable, seek to recover from the individual executive the amount by which the individual executive’s incentive payments for the relevant period exceeded the lower payment that would have been made based on the restated financial results. For purposes of this provision, the term “executive officer” means any officer who has been designated an executive officer by the Board.

 

7. Options

 

(a)    General. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Options to Eligible Individuals and shall determine whether such Options shall be Incentive Stock Options or Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Option shall be evidenced by an Award Document that shall expressly identify the Option as an Incentive Stock Option or Nonqualified Stock Option, and be in such form and contain such provisions as the Committee shall from time to time deem appropriate.

 

(b)    Exercise Price. The exercise price of an Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant. In no event shall the exercise price of an Option be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided, however that the exercise price of a Substitute Award granted as an Option shall be determined in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and, with respect to Incentive Stock Options, Section 424 of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value.

 

(c)    Term. An Option shall be effective for such term as shall be determined by the Committee and as set forth in the Award Document relating to such Option, and the Committee may extend the term of an Option after the time of grant; provided, however, that the term of an Option may in no event extend beyond the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date of grant of such Option.

 

(d)    Exercise; Payment of Exercise Price. Options shall be exercised by delivery of a notice of exercise in a form approved by the Company.  Subject to the provisions of the applicable Award Document, the exercise price of an Option may be paid (i) in cash or cash equivalents, (ii) by actual delivery or attestation to ownership of freely transferable Shares already owned by the person exercising the Option, (iii) by a combination of cash and Shares equal in value to the exercise price, (iv) through net share settlement or similar procedure involving the withholding of Shares subject to the Option with a value equal to the exercise price or (v) by such other means as the Committee may authorize. In accordance with the rules and procedures authorized by the Committee for this purpose, the Option may also be exercised through a “cashless exercise” procedure authorized by the Committee from time to time that permits Participants to exercise Options by delivering irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount necessary to pay the exercise price and the amount of any required tax or other withholding obligations or such other procedures determined by the Company from time to time.

 

(e)    Incentive Stock Options. The exercise price per Share of an Incentive Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option be less than one

 

9



 

hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant. No Incentive Stock Option may be issued pursuant to the Plan to any individual who, at the time the Incentive Stock Option is granted, owns stock possessing more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, unless (i) the exercise price determined as of the date of grant is at least one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant of the Shares subject to such Incentive Stock Option and (ii) the Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable more than five (5) years from the date of grant thereof. No Participant shall be granted any Incentive Stock Option which would result in such Participant receiving a grant of Incentive Stock Options that would have an aggregate Fair Market Value in excess of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), determined as of the time of grant, that would be exercisable for the first time by such Participant during any calendar year. The terms of any Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall comply in all respects with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code.

 

(f)    Minimum Vesting Provisions. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5(c)(iv) of the Plan, Options shall have a minimum vesting period of one (1) year from the date of grant. Options shall not be deemed to lack a minimum vesting period solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon or after a Change of Control.

 

8. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

 

(a)    Minimum Vesting Provisions. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5(c)(iv) of the Plan, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units settled in Shares that are granted without any other performance-based qualification criteria other than the Participant’s continued service shall have a minimum period of restriction of three (3) years. Performance-based grants shall feature a minimum period of restriction of one (1) year. Awards of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall not be deemed to lack a minimum period of restriction solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon or after a Change of Control.

 

(b)    Restricted Stock. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted Stock to Eligible Individuals. An Award of Restricted Stock shall consist of one or more Shares granted to an Eligible Individual, and shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document. Restricted Stock may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which it may be canceled.

 

(c)    Restricted Stock Units. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Restricted Stock Units to Eligible Individuals. A Restricted Stock Unit shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and the applicable Award Document, one or more Shares or cash in the amount of the Fair Market Value of the Shares. Restricted Stock Units may, among other things, be subject to restrictions on transferability, vesting requirements or other specified circumstances under which they may be canceled.  If and when the cancellation provisions lapse, the Restricted Stock Units shall become Shares owned by the applicable Participant or, if provided in the Award Document or at the sole discretion of the Committee, cash, or a combination of cash and Shares, with a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the vesting date.

 

9. Stock Appreciation Rights

 

(a)    General. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to Eligible Individuals. A Stock Appreciation Right shall entitle a Participant to receive, upon satisfaction of the conditions to payment specified in the applicable Award Document, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right specified in the applicable Award Document. The grant price per share of Shares covered by a Stock Appreciation Right shall be fixed by the Committee at the time of grant or, alternatively, shall be determined by a method specified by the Committee at the time of grant, but in no event shall the grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date of grant; provided, however, that the grant price of a Substitute Award granted as a Stock Appreciation Rights shall be in accordance with Section 409A of the Code and may be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value. Payments to a Participant upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right may be made in cash

 

10



 

or Shares, or a combination of cash and Shares having an aggregate Fair Market Value as of the date of exercise equal to the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the exercise date of the number of Shares for which the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised over the grant price for such Stock Appreciation Right. The term of a Stock Appreciation Right settled in Shares shall not exceed ten (10) years.

 

(b)    Stock Appreciation Rights in Tandem with Options. A Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option may be granted either at the same time as such Option or subsequent thereto. If granted in tandem with an Option, a Stock Appreciation Right shall cover the same number of Shares as covered by the Option (or such lesser number of Shares as the Committee may determine) and shall be exercisable only at such time or times and to the extent the related Option shall be exercisable, and shall have the same term as the related Option. The grant price of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option shall equal the per-share exercise price of the Option to which it relates. Upon exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right granted in tandem with an Option, the related Option shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by such exercise; conversely, if the related Option is exercised as to some or all of the Shares covered by the tandem grant, the tandem Stock Appreciation Right shall be canceled automatically to the extent of the number of Shares covered by the Option exercise.

 

(c)    Minimum Vesting Provisions. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5(c)(iv) of the Plan, Stock Appreciation Rights shall have a minimum vesting period of one (1) year from the date of grant. Stock Appreciation Rights shall not be deemed to lack a minimum vesting period solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon or after a Change of Control.

 

10. Performance Stock and Performance Share Units

 

(a)    Minimum Vesting Provisions. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5(c)(iv) of the Plan, Performance Stock or Performance Share Units shall feature a minimum period of restriction of one (1) year.  Awards of Performance Stock or Performance Share Units shall not be deemed to lack a minimum period of restriction solely because they vest before the end of the period in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon or after a Change of Control.

 

(b)    Performance Stock. The Committee may grant Performance Stock to Eligible Individuals. An Award of Performance Stock shall consist of a Target Number of Shares granted to an Eligible Individual based on the achievement of Performance Targets over the applicable Performance Period, and shall be subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document.

 

(c)    Performance Share Units. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant Performance Share Units to Eligible Individuals. A Performance Share Unit shall entitle a Participant to receive, subject to the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in the Plan and established by the Committee in connection with the Award and specified in the applicable Award Document, a Target Number of Shares or cash based upon the achievement of Performance Targets over the applicable Performance Period. At the sole discretion of the Committee, Performance Share Units shall be settled through the delivery of Shares or cash, or a combination of Shares and cash.

 

11. Other Awards

 

The Committee shall have the authority to specify the terms and provisions of other forms of equity- or cash-based Awards not described above that the Committee determines to be consistent with the purpose of the Plan and the interests of the Company, which Awards may provide for cash payments or settlement in Shares. Except as otherwise permitted by Section 5(c)(iv) of the Plan, (a) to the extent that any such other Awards are to be settled in Shares and are performance-based, the minimum period of restriction shall be one (1) year, and (b) to the extent that such other Awards are to be settled in Shares that have no performance-based criteria other than the Participant’s continued service, the minimum period of restriction shall be three (3) years; provided that, in each case, Awards shall not be deemed to lack a minimum period of restriction solely because they vest before the end of the period  in the event of the Participant’s death, disability or retirement, or upon or after a Change of Control.

 

11



 

12. Certain Restrictions

 

(a)    Transfers. No Award shall be transferable other than pursuant to a beneficiary designation under Section 12(c), by last will and testament or by the laws of descent and distribution or, except in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, pursuant to a domestic relations order; provided, however, that the Committee may, subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations and such terms and conditions as it shall specify, permit the transfer of an Award, other than an Incentive Stock Option, for no consideration, to a member of the Participant’s family or household or to a trust, partnership, corporation, or similar vehicle the parties in interest in which are limited to the Participant and members of the Participant’s family or household, in each case, with respect to whom such Award or the exercise thereof (as applicable) is covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (collectively, the “Permitted Transferees”). Any Award transferred to a Permitted Transferee shall be further transferable only by last will and testament or the laws of descent and distribution or, for no consideration, to another Permitted Transferee of the Participant.

 

(b)    Award Exercisable Only by Participant. During the lifetime of a Participant, an Award shall be exercisable only by the Participant or by a Permitted Transferee to whom such Award has been transferred in accordance with Section 12(a) above. The grant of an Award shall impose no obligation on a Participant to exercise or settle the Award.

 

(c)    Beneficiary Designation.  Subject to restrictions and procedures established by the Company, a Participant may, from time to time, name a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any benefit under the Plan in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all of such benefit. Each such designation shall revoke all prior designations by the same Participant, including any default designation, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant (in such form or manner as may be prescribed by the Company) and received by the Company.  No beneficiary designation shall be effective if received by the Company after the Participant’s death. In the absence of a valid designation by the Participant under the Plan, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be his beneficiary under the Company’s group life insurance plan or, if none, the Participant’s estate.  If a beneficiary determined under this paragraph does not survive the Participant, or such designated beneficiary is legally impaired or prohibited from receiving the benefits under an Award, the Participant’s beneficiary shall be determined as if such deceased or disqualified beneficiary were never designated.

 

13. Recapitalization or Reorganization

 

(a)    Authority of the Company and Shareholders. The existence of the Plan, the Award Documents and the Awards granted hereunder shall not affect or restrict in any way the right or power of the Company or the shareholders of the Company to make or authorize any adjustment, recapitalization, reorganization or other change in the Company’s capital structure or business, any merger or consolidation of the Company, any issue of stock or of options, warrants or rights to purchase stock or of bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stocks whose rights are superior to or affect the Shares or the rights thereof or which are convertible into or exchangeable for Shares, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

 

(b)    Change in Capitalization. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or any Award Document, the number and kind of Shares authorized for issuance under Section 5 of the Plan, including the maximum number of Shares available under the special limits provided for in Section 5(c), shall be equitably adjusted in the sole discretion of the Committee in the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation, reclassification, merger, consolidation, separation, extraordinary cash dividend, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of Shares, warrants or rights offering to purchase Shares at a price substantially below Fair Market Value, or any other corporate event or distribution of stock or property of the Company affecting the Shares in order to preserve, but not increase, the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available under the Plan. In addition, upon the occurrence of any of the foregoing events, the number and kind of Shares subject to any outstanding Award and the exercise price per Share (or the grant price per Share, as the case may be), if any, under any outstanding Award shall be equitably adjusted (including by payment of cash to a Participant) in the sole discretion of the Committee in order to preserve the benefits or potential benefits intended to be made available to Participants. Such adjustments shall be made by the Committee. Unless otherwise determined

 

12



 

by the Committee, such adjusted Awards shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting or settlement schedule to which the underlying Award is subject.

 

14. Term of the Plan

 

Unless earlier terminated pursuant to Section 16, the Plan shall terminate on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, except with respect to Awards then outstanding. No Awards may be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and no Incentive Stock Option may be granted under the Plan after the tenth (10th) anniversary of the date on which the Plan was adopted by the Board.  To the extent (but only to the extent) required by Section 162(m) of the Code, no Award that is intended to be “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) shall be granted after the first shareholder meeting in 2020 unless the material terms of the performance goal for the Award have been disclosed to and reapproved by shareholders before that date.

 

15. Effective Date

 

The Plan shall become effective on the Effective Date.

 

16. Amendment and Termination

 

Subject to applicable laws, rules and regulations, the Board may at any time terminate or, from time to time, amend, modify or suspend the Plan; provided, however, that no termination, amendment, modification or suspension shall (a) be effective without the approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is required under applicable laws, rules and regulations, including the rules of NYSE, or (b)  materially and adversely alter or impair the rights of a Participant in any Award previously made under the Plan without the consent of the holder thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board shall have broad authority to amend the Plan or any Award under the Plan without the consent of a Participant to the extent it deems necessary or desirable (i) to comply with, take into account changes in, or interpretations of, applicable tax laws, securities laws, employment laws, accounting rules and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, (ii) to take into account unusual or nonrecurring events or market conditions (including the events described in Section 13(b)), or (iii) to take into account significant acquisitions or dispositions of assets or other property by the Company.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Board may (I) make a non-exclusive written delegation of its authority to amend the Plan to the Committee or to one or more officers of the Company and (II)  authorize the Committee or delegated officers to make a further delegation of their authority to amend the Plan.

 

17. Miscellaneous

 

(a)    Tax Withholding. The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, may require any individual entitled to receive a payment of an Award to remit to the Company, prior to payment, an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable tax withholding requirements. In the case of an Award payable in Shares, the Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, may permit or require a Participant to satisfy, in whole or in part, such obligation to remit taxes by the Company withholding Shares that would otherwise be received by such individual or repurchasing Shares that were issued to the Participant to satisfy the (i) minimum statutory withholding rates within the United States, or (ii) in accordance with local tax jurisdictions outside the United States, as applicable, for any applicable tax withholding purposes, in accordance with all applicable laws and pursuant to such rules as the Committee may establish from time to time. The Company or a Subsidiary, as appropriate, shall also have the right to deduct from all cash payments made to a Participant (whether or not such payment is made in connection with an Award) any applicable taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments.

 

(b)    No Right to Awards or Employment. No person shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan, the grant of Awards under the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be taken under the Plan shall be deemed to create or confer on any Eligible Individual any right to be retained in the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the right of the Company or any Subsidiary or other affiliate thereof to terminate the employment of such Eligible Individual at any time. No Award shall constitute salary or contractual compensation for the year of grant, any later year or any other period of time. Payments received by a Participant under any Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of employment-related rights or benefits under any other employee benefit plan or similar arrangement

 

13



 

provided by the Company and the Subsidiaries, unless otherwise specifically provided for under the terms of such plan or arrangement or by the Committee.

 

(c)    Securities Law Restrictions. An Award may not be exercised or settled, and no Shares may be issued in connection with an Award, unless the issuance of such Shares (i) has been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, (ii) has qualified under applicable state “blue sky” laws (or the Company has determined that an exemption from registration and from qualification under such state “blue sky” laws is available) and (iii) complies with all applicable foreign securities laws. All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any exchange upon which the Shares are then listed, and any applicable securities law, and the Committee may cause a legend or legends to be put on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such restrictions.

 

(d)    Section 162(m) of the Code. The Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Section 162(m) of the Code; provided, however, that in the event the Committee determines that compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code is not desired with respect to a particular Award (or portion of an Award), compliance with Section 162(m) of the Code will not be required. In addition, if any provision of this Plan would cause Awards or portions of Awards that are intended to constitute “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, to fail to so qualify, that provision shall be severed from, and shall be deemed not to be a part of, the Plan, but the other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

 

(e)    Section 409A of the Code.  The Plan is intended, and shall be interpreted, to provide compensation that is exempt from Section 409A, or that complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A.  If any provision of the Plan or an Award Document contravenes any regulations or guidance promulgated under Section 409A of the Code or would cause an Award to be subject to additional taxes, accelerated taxation, interest and/or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, such provision of the Plan or Award Document may be modified by the Committee without the consent of the Participant in any manner the Committee deems reasonable or necessary. In making such modifications the Committee shall attempt, but shall not be obligated, to maintain, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without contravening the provisions of Section 409A of the Code. Moreover, any discretionary authority that the Committee may have pursuant to the Plan shall not be applicable to an Award that is subject to Section 409A of the Code to the extent such discretionary authority would contravene Section 409A of the Code or the guidance promulgated thereunder.

 

(f)     Awards to Individuals Subject to Laws of a Jurisdiction Outside of the United States. To the extent that Awards under the Plan are awarded to Eligible Individuals who are domiciled or reside outside of the United States or to persons who are domiciled or reside in the United States but who are subject to the tax laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States, the Committee may adjust the terms of the Awards granted hereunder to such person (i) to comply with the laws, rules and regulations of such jurisdiction and (ii) to permit the grant of the Award not to be a taxable event to the Participant. The authority granted under the previous sentence shall include the discretion for the Committee to adopt, on behalf of the Company, one or more sub-plans applicable to separate classes of Eligible Individuals who are subject to the laws of jurisdictions outside of the United States.

 

(g)    Satisfaction of Obligations. Subject to applicable law, the Company may apply any cash, Shares, securities or other consideration received upon exercise or settlement of an Award to any obligations a Participant owes to the Company and the Subsidiaries in connection with the Plan or otherwise, including any tax obligations or obligations under a currency facility established in connection with the Plan.

 

(h)    No Limitation on Corporate Actions. Nothing contained in the Plan shall be construed to prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from taking any corporate action, whether or not such action would have an adverse effect on any Awards made under the Plan. No Participant, beneficiary or other person shall have any claim against the Company or any Subsidiary as a result of any such action.

 

(i)     Unfunded Plan. The Plan is intended to constitute an unfunded plan for incentive compensation. Prior to the issuance of Shares, cash or other form of payment in connection with an Award, nothing

 

14



 

contained herein shall give any Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general unsecured creditor of the Company. The Committee may, but is not obligated to, authorize the creation of trusts or other arrangements to meet the obligations created under the Plan to deliver Shares with respect to awards hereunder.

 

(j)     Successors. All obligations of the Company under the Plan with respect to Awards granted hereunder shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company.

 

(k)    Application of Funds. The proceeds received by the Company from the sale of Shares pursuant to Awards will be used for general corporate purposes.

 

(l)     Award Document. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan and any Award Document, the Plan shall govern and the Award Document shall be interpreted to minimize or eliminate any such conflict or inconsistency.

 

(m)   Headings. The headings of Sections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.

 

(n)    Severability. If any provision of this Plan is held unenforceable, the remainder of the Plan shall continue in full force and effect without regard to such unenforceable provision and shall be applied as though the unenforceable provision were not contained in the Plan.

 

(o)    Expenses. The costs and expenses of administering the Plan shall be borne by the Company.

 

(p)    Governing Law. Except as to matters of federal law, the Plan and all actions taken thereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflict of law provisions that might otherwise point to a different jurisdiction.

 

(q)    Compliance with Individual Tax Requirements.  The Company does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A or any other provision of the Code with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment.  In no event shall the Company; any Subsidiary; any director, officer, or employee of the Company or a Subsidiary; or any member of the Committee be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code or any other requirements of applicable tax laws.
