Q3'26PendingPratt commercial OE sales to be down in the low single-digit range for the full year

Q3'26PendingFY2026 adjusted sales $95-96B, EPS $7.10-7.25, FCF $8.5-8.75B
Fiscal year not yet complete; all three ranges were raised this quarter (sales to $97-97.5B, EPS to $7.65-7.75, FCF to $9-9.2B), which is a revision, not a resolution.
Q3'26Mixedwe continue to engage with the department on turning our framework agreements into definitive agreements
Undefinitized contracts represent progress, but do not equal final negotiated definitive terms. Track definitization and production execution.
Q3'26DeliveredWe expect entry into service later this year [for GTF Advantage]
First GTF Advantage-powered aircraft was delivered to United Airlines and entered service in October 2026.
Q3'26Mixedwe expect AOGs to keep trending lower throughout the second half of the year
Q3 AOGs were stable sequentially rather than lower; the full second-half period remains open.
Q2'26MissedCollins to drive margin expansion through cost reduction

Q2 deliveries up 15% but sales down 8% due to mix; on track but concerning
Q1'26DeliveredContinued productivity improvements across all segments
All three segments showed margin expansion despite headwinds
Q1'26Pending$8.25-8.75B free cash flow for 2026
Strong Q1 start at $1.3B supports full year guidance
Q1'26ExceededRaytheon margin expansion continuation
Hit 12.2% margins with 150 bps expansion, ahead of expectations
Q1'26DeliveredGTF Advantage aircraft certification soon
Received aircraft certification in Q1, ahead of timeline

Q1'26DeliveredContinued AOG reduction throughout 2026

EU cert received in Q4, but aircraft certification still pending with no updated timeline given.
Q4'25MissedMRO output up about 30% for full year 2025

AOGs down 20% from 2025 highs, with continued decline expected through 2026.
