During the quarter, the company repurchased $596 million of RTX shares.
"Based on the strong performance year-to-date and strong end-markets, we are raising our full year sales outlook and tightening our adjusted EPS outlook. However, we are lowering our free cash flow outlook to reflect the impact of an issue that has recently come to light, which will require Pratt & Whitney to remove certain engines from service for inspection earlier than expected," commented RTX Chairman and CEO Greg Hayes.
The company stated that Pratt & Whitney has determined that a rare condition in powder metal used to manufacture certain engine parts will require accelerated fleet inspection. The business anticipates that a significant portion of the PW1100G-JM engine fleet, which powers the A320neo, will require accelerated removals and inspections within the next nine to twelve months.
RTX's operating cash flow from continuing operations for the quarter totaled $719 million, compared to $1.29 billion in 2Q22. Free cash flow stood at $193 million.
FY23 Outlook, Raised: RTX expects sales of $73 billion-$74 billion, up from $72 billion - $73 billion versus the consensus of $72.75 billion; sees to adjusted EPS of $4.95-$5.05, up from $4.90-$5.05, versus the consensus of $5.02.
The company expects a free cash flow of ~$ 4.3 billion, down from ~$4.8 billion, and confirms a share repurchase of at least $3 billion of RTX shares.
