Current report
Operating margin increased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024, driven by strong sales growth and a favorable sales mix. This was partially offset by investments we made for product development and business capture, as we continue to see large opportunities across both land and space applications.
Current report
Operating margin decreased in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter of 2024. In the third quarter of 2025, we incurred an $8 million charge associated with the termination of a product development effort. Excluding this charge, operating margin was 11.6%. The resulting decrease in operating margin was due to investing more in research and development, as well as an unfavorable sales mix.
Current report
In the third quarter of 2025, commercial aftermarket sales increased $29 million, driven largely by strong fleet utilization on the 787 and A350 programs. Commercial OEM sales increased $1 million, as the sale of intellectual property and inventory associated with a non-core product line was partially offset by decreased sales related to production delays certain customers are experiencing.
Current report
In the first three quarters of 2025 compared to the first three quarters of 2024, divestitures as well as purposeful product and customer exits reduced sales, primarily within industrial automation, which decreased $44 million. In addition, lower sales for simulation and test products, following a prior year record, was mostly offset by market share gains for medical devices.

Previous report
Within our industrial markets, which represented 27% of our 2024 sales, our programs benefited from increased order demand within industrial automation, simulation and test and energy markets.
Previous report
As disclosed in Part I, Item 1A: Risk Factors, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 28, 2024, our business is subject to risks related to, among other factors, tariffs, trade and monetary policies and economic conditions and events. Between January and April of 2025, the United States government announced additional tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. from numerous countries, and multiple nations countered with reciprocal tariffs and other actions in response. The effects of these new tariffs did not have a material impact on our second quarter of 2025 results. While we generally manufacture products in the markets where they are sold, the tariffs may negatively impact demand and result in an increase in some product costs. We are taking appropriate steps to significantly mitigate the impact on our business.

Under ASC 606, 65% of revenue was recognized over time for the three months ended March 29, 2025, using the cost-to-cost method of accounting. The over-time method of revenue recognition is predominantly used in Space and Defense, Military Aircraft and Commercial Aircraft. We use this method for U.S. Government contracts and repair and overhaul arrangements as we are creating or enhancing assets that the customer controls. In addition, many of our large commercial contracts qualify for over-time accounting as our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and turret programs, and we strive to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future, including the Textron Bell FLRAA. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. and European defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending have increased in the near-term given the current global tensions, and are subject to governmental approvals.
Current wording
The defense market is dependent on military spending for development and production programs. We have a growing development program order book for future generation aircraft and turret programs, and we strive to embed our technologies within these high-performance military programs of the future, including the Textron Bell MV-75 FLRAA. Aircraft production programs are typically long-term in nature, offering predictable capacity needs and future revenues. We maintain positions on numerous high priority programs, including the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II. The large installed base of our products leads to attractive aftermarket sales and service opportunities. The tactical and strategic missile, missile defense and defense controls markets are dependent on many of the same market conditions as military aircraft, including overall military spending and program funding levels. At times when there are perceived threats to national security, U.S. and European defense spending can increase; at other times, defense spending can decrease. Future levels of defense spending have increased in the near-term given the current global tensions, and are subject to governmental approvals.
Previous wording
The commercial OEM aircraft market depends on a number of factors, including both the increasing global demand for air travel and increasing fuel prices. Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that led to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. Boeing and Airbus are producing widebody aircraft at rates to support the current air traffic volumes, as well as working through their current supply-chain challenges. Any adjustments to their production rates affects the timing of the demand for our flight control systems.

Both factors contributed to the demand for new, more fuel-efficient aircraft with lower operating costs that led to large production backlogs for Boeing and Airbus. Boeing and Airbus are producing widebody aircraft at rates to support their projected demand while working through their current supply-chain constraints. Any adjustments to their production rates affect the timing of the demand for our flight control systems.
Previous wording
The space market is comprised of three customer markets: civil, U.S. Department of Defense and commercial space. The civil market, namely NASA, is driven by investment for commercial and exploration activities. The U.S. Department of Defense market is driven by government-authorized levels of defense spending, including funding for defense-related satellite and space vehicle technologies. Levels of U.S. defense spending could increase as there is growing emphasis on space as the next frontier of potential future conflicts. The commercial space market is driven by demand for small satellites, which increases the demand for increased launch vehicle capacity. Our launch vehicle and satellite components and systems will continue to benefit from increased investments in each of these markets.

Previous wording
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. About one-sixth of our 2024 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first six months of 2025, average foreign currency rates generally weakened against the U.S. dollar compared to 2024. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars decreased sales by $5 million compared to the same period one year ago.
Current wording
We are affected by the movement of foreign currencies compared to the U.S. dollar. About one-sixth of our 2024 sales were denominated in foreign currencies. During the first nine months of 2025, average foreign currency rates generally were the same against the U.S. dollar compared to 2024. The translation of the results of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars had no material impact on sales compared to the same period one year ago.

Operating margin increased in the first half of 2025 compared to the first half of 2024. In the first half of 2025, we incurred $3 million of other charges. In the first half of 2024, we incurred $6 million of impairment charges and $4 million of restructuring and other charges. Excluding these charges, in the first half of 2025 and first half of 2024, operating margins were 11.5% and 12.0%, respectively. The resulting decrease in operating margin was due largely to the same factors as the second quarter.
