"RTX delivered very strong second quarter results with 16 percent organic sales growth,* including double-digit commercial aftermarket and defense growth, margin expansion across all three segments, and $2.9 billion of free cash flow.* Demand remains robust, and our backlog is up 22 percent year over year," said RTX Chairman and CEO Chris Calio.
"Given our first half performance and current backlog, we are raising our full year outlook for adjusted sales,* adjusted EPS,* and free cash flow.* RTX is exceptionally well positioned to drive continued growth as we execute on our backlog, increase productivity, expand capacity, and introduce new technologies to our customers."

*Adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment sales, adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS"), adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS and expected cash flow from operations) is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results. See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures.

Collins Aerospace second quarter 2026 reported and adjusted sales* of $8,210 million were up 8 percent versus the prior year. Excluding the impact of divestitures, sales increased 13 percent organically* driven by a 26 percent
increase in commercial OE, a 10 percent increase in commercial aftermarket, and a 7 percent increase in defense. The increase in commercial OE sales was driven by higher volume on narrowbody and widebody platforms, and the increase in commercial aftermarket sales was primarily driven by growth in parts and repair and modifications and upgrades. The increase in defense sales was driven by higher volume across multiple programs.
Collins Aerospace reported operating profit of $1,306 million was up 11 percent versus the prior year. Adjusted operating profit* of $1,370 million was up 10 percent versus the prior year. The growth was driven by drop through on higher commercial and defense volume, which was partially offset by defense mix, higher SG&A expense, and the impact of divestitures completed in 2025. Reported operating profit in Q2 2026 included higher restructuring charges associated with cost transformation initiatives.

Pratt & Whitney second quarter reported and adjusted sales* of $8,889 million were up 16 percent versus the prior year. The sales growth was driven by a 25 percent increase in commercial aftermarket and a 23 percent increase in military, partially offset by an 8 percent decrease in commercial OE. The increase in commercial aftermarket was driven by higher volume, while the increase in military sales was driven by higher F135 volume, including the benefit of prior year contract award timing. The decrease in commercial OE sales was driven by large commercial engine mix which more than offset increased large commercial engine deliveries.
Pratt & Whitney reported operating profit of $738 million was up 50 percent versus the prior year. Q2 2025 reported profit included an approximately $100 million charge related to a customer bankruptcy. Adjusted operating profit* of $740 million was up 22 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by drop through on higher commercial aftermarket and military volume, as well as military mix. This growth was partially offset by increased large commercial engine deliveries, large commercial engine mix, and higher SG&A expense.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
RTX Corporation ("RTX" or "the Company") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with additional insight into the Company's ongoing business performance. Other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. Certain non-GAAP financial adjustments are also described in this Appendix. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Non-GAAP measure

Adjusted operating profit margin percentage represents adjusted operating profit (loss) as a percentage of adjusted net sales.
|
|
Segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS)
|
Segment operating profit (loss) represents operating profit (loss) (a GAAP measure) excluding acquisition accounting adjustments2, the FAS/CAS operating adjustment3, Corporate expenses and other unallocated items, and Eliminations and other. Segment operating profit margin percentage represents segment operating profit (loss) as a percentage of segment sales (net sales, excluding Eliminations and other).
|
|
Adjusted segment sales

Free cash flow represents cash flow from operating activities (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing RTX's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of RTX's common stock, and distribution of earnings to shareowners.
|
1 Net significant and/or non-recurring items represent significant nonoperational items and/or significant operational items that may occur at irregular intervals.
2 Acquisition accounting adjustments include the amortization of acquired intangible assets related to acquisitions, the amortization of the property, plant and equipment fair value adjustment acquired through acquisitions, the amortization of customer contractual obligations related to loss making or below market contracts acquired, and goodwill impairment, if applicable.
3 The FAS/CAS operating adjustment represents the difference between the service cost component of our pension and postretirement benefit (PRB) expense under the Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) requirements of GAAP and our pension and PRB expense under U.S. government Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) primarily related to our Raytheon segment.
When we provide our expectation for adjusted net sales (also referred to as adjusted sales), organic sales, adjusted operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted segment operating profit (loss) and margin percentage (ROS), adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate, and free cash flow, on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures, as described above, generally are not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high
variability, complexity, and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
