Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On October 16, 2025, Textron Inc.’s management approved a plan to eliminate Textron eAviation as a separate reporting segment by realigning Textron eAviation’s business activities within other Textron reporting segments, effective January 4, 2026, the beginning of Textron’s 2026 fiscal year.
Under this realignment, a significant part of Textron eAviation, including Pipistrel, will become part of the Textron Aviation reporting segment to enable the business to more effectively leverage the development, manufacturing and sales expertise at Textron Aviation. Further, Textron eAviation’s manned and unmanned products for military applications and related research and development activities will be included in the results of the Textron Systems reporting segment, which is best suited to provide more direct access to the targeted customer base for these products. Finally, certain Textron eAviation research and development activities encompassing digital flight control and air vehicle management systems, which we expect will benefit several of our segments, will be reported within Corporate expenses.
Textron Inc.’s ongoing reporting segments will be Textron Aviation, Bell, Industrial, Textron Systems and Finance. Textron Inc. will begin to report under the new segment reporting structure with the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 2026. Prior year segment data will be recast to reflect the new presentation after the first quarter Form 10-Q is filed. As part of our Q4 2025 Earnings Call Presentation we will provide certain 2025 recast information.
