Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

CAP versus TSR

As shown in the chart below, the calculated CAP for both the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs is correlated with the Company’s TSR for each of the years set forth in the table above. This is due primarily to the Company’s use of equity incentive awards in the long-term incentive compensation plan, which results in the alignment of the value of our executives’ outstanding and unvested awards with shareholders’ interests. As described in detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 25, awards issued under our long-term incentive compensation program are directly linked to stock price and represent a substantial portion of our NEOs’ compensation which serves to align our executives’ interests with our shareholders’ interests.

From the end of the 2021 fiscal year to the end of the 2022 fiscal year, Textron’s common stock price decreased 8.3% from $77.20 to $70.80, resulting in a decreased fair value of outstanding and unvested equity awards and a decrease in year-over-year CAP for 2022.Textron’s common stock price then increased 13.6%, from $70.80 at the end of 2022 to $80.42 at the end of fiscal year 2023, resulting in an increase in year-over-year CAP for 2023. Textron’s common stock price decreased 4.0% from $80.42 to $77.21 from the end of fiscal year 2023 to the end of fiscal year 2024, which is reflected in the lower CAP for 2024. From the end of fiscal year 2024 to the end of fiscal year 2025, Textron’s common stock price increased 12.7%, from $77.21 to $87.05, driving an increased CAP for 2025. The impact of equity incentive compensation is greater for the PEO’s CAP calculation because the portion of his compensation that is delivered in the form of equity incentives is greater than that portion for the Non-PEO NEOs.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income

CAP versus Net income

As shown in the chart below, the Company’s net income increased in both periods from 2021 to 2022 and 2022 to 2023. The company’s net income decreased in the period from 2023 to 2024. From 2024 to 2025 the Company’s net income increased again. This measure is somewhat aligned with the calculated CAP for both the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs, although, the correlation related to Net Income impact is overshadowed by the impact of changes in the Company’s stock price on CAP primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives that are tied directly to stock price, as described above. Notably, the Company does not use Net Income to determine compensation levels or long-term incentive plan payouts.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Company Selected Measure

CAP versus Manufacturing Cash Flow before Pension Contributions

As shown in the chart below, the Company’s Manufacturing Cash Flow before Pension Contributions increased modestly from 2021 to 2022 decreased in the periods from 2022 to 2023 and 2023 to 2024, and again increased from 2024 to 2025. This measure affects CAP for both the PEO and the Non-PEO NEOs by impacting the extent to which performance share units are earned over the performance periods, however this impact is overshadowed by the impact that changes in the Company’s stock price have on CAP, primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives that are tied directly to stock price, as described above.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group

Company’s TSR versus Peer Groups’ TSR

As shown in the chart below, the Company’s cumulative TSR is correlated with the S&P 500 Industrials index cumulative TSR. It is not as closely aligned with the S&P 500 A&D index cumulative TSR. Because Textron is a multi-industry company with businesses in the aerospace and defense industry as well as other industrial manufacturing businesses, both indices are relevant for comparison, although neither is an ideal peer group. Due to consolidation in the A&D industry, that index reflects the results of only twelve companies, including Textron, making each company’s impact arguably outsized, especially the impact of large companies, given that the returns shown are weighted based on market capitalization. Since the S&P 500 Industrials index includes a greater number of companies than the S&P 500 A&D index, using this index for comparison mitigates the effect of companies with outlying performance.

Financial Performance Measures

The following list of financial performance measures represents, in the Company’s assessment, the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid (“CAP”) to the NEOs to company performance for the 2025 fiscal year. Please see the Compensation Discussion and Analysis beginning on page 25 for additional discussion of how these factors affected our NEOs’ compensation.

Award Timing MNPI Disclosure	TiMiNG OF OPTiON AWARDS It is Textron’s practice to grant most equity awards on a pre-determined schedule. The grant date for annual stock options, as well as other awards, has been established as March 1 of each year for all employees. In January of each fiscal year, the Organization and Compensation Committee approves the value of stock options and other equity incentive awards to be granted to our NEOs on the March 1 grant date. The Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer the authority to make awards to employees who are not NEOs. In addition to the annual grants, stock options may be granted at other times during the year to new hires, employees receiving promotions, and in other special circumstances. No off-cycle stock options have been granted to NEOs in fiscal year 2025, and it is Textron’s practice not to make any off-cycle equity grants to current NEOs. The Chief Executive Officer has delegated to our Chief Human Resources Officer the authority to make off-cycle grants to other employees within certain guidelines. We do not grant stock options in anticipation of the release of material, nonpublic information or time the release of material, nonpublic information based on stock option grant dates, vesting events, or sale events. The exercise price of a newly granted option is the closing price of Textron’s common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. If the grant date falls on a non-trading day, the exercise price is the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE on the last trading day preceding the date of grant.
