"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 EPS* of $1.89 was up 21 percent versus the prior year.

The company reported net income attributable to common shareowners in the second quarter of $2.1 billion which included $0.4 billion of acquisition accounting adjustments and $0.1 billion of restructuring and other net significant and/or non-recurring items. Adjusted net income* of $2.6 billion was up 22 percent versus the prior year driven by adjusted segment operating profit growth* across all three segments.

Segment Results

Collins Aerospace

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.

Raytheon second quarter reported and adjusted sales* of $8,269 million were up 18 percent versus the prior year. This increase was driven by higher volume on land and air defense systems, naval programs, and air and space defense systems, including Patriot, Standard Missile, and AMRAAM. 

Raytheon reported operating profit of $1,042 million was up 29 percent versus the prior year. Adjusted operating profit* of $1,043 million was up 29 percent versus the prior year. The increase was driven by higher volume, favorable mix, including Patriot programs, and improved net productivity.

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:

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.
