Higher sales volumes on the MV-75 program and military sustainment programs, along with increased commercial helicopter parts and services revenues, are projected to have bolstered the Bell unit’s revenue performance.
Higher sales volumes from the Ship-to-Shore Connector program, as well as military training and support services provided by Airborne Tactical Advantage Company (“ATAC”), are likely to have bolstered Textron Systems unit’s performance.
Lower sales volumes from the specialized vehicles are likely to have impacted TXT’s Industrial segment’s performance.
Higher costs of products sold, as well as selling and administrative expenses, are likely to have hurt TXT’s overall bottom line.
