Speaker #2: And we're going to obviously keep a very close eye on a number of the things that we talk about on a consistent basis. Rocket motors given the concentrated supply base.

Speaker #2: Microelectronics given the non-A&D demand that's out there. But if you just think longer-term and the potential impact of the framework agreements, it's going to require a step change to your point in the supply chain.

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thanks for the question, Rob. I'll start by just saying we're really pleased with how we started the year in terms of production. As we said upfront, munitions output was up over 40% year over year.

Christopher Calio: Thanks for the question, Rob. I'll start by just saying we're really pleased with how we started the year in terms of production. As we said up front, munitions output was up over 40% year-over-year, so very good start to the year. Now, the continued ramp in production is going to require growth in supply chain output and performance, as you've noted here. Now Raytheon has had 12 consecutive quarters of material growth, which is great. Material receipts were up 13% year-over-year here in Q1. We're going to obviously keep a very close eye on a number of the things that we talk about on a consistent basis. Rocket motors, given the concentrated supply base, microelectronics, given the non-A&D demand that's out there.

Chris Calio: Thanks for the question, Rob. I'll start by just saying we're really pleased with how we started the year in terms of production.

We're going to obviously keep a very close eye on a number of the things that we talk about on a consistent basis. Rocket motors, given the concentrated supply base, microelectronics, given the non-A&D demand that's out there.

Speaker #2: Now, the framework agreements do provide some potential long-term firm demand. And that's going to provide the visibility to supply chain needs to invest in people, tooling, test equipment, and capacity, which is great.

Speaker #2: So, very good start to the year. Now, the continued ramp of production is going to require growth in the supply chain output and performance.

Speaker #2: As you've noted here, Raytheon has had 12 consecutive quarters of material growth, which is great. And material receipts were up 13% year over year here in Q1.

Speaker #2: But I think longer-term, the defense industrial base is going to need additional suppliers to improve the overall resiliency and the firm demand is likely going to incentivize quality suppliers from other industries to enter the supply base, which is great.

Speaker #2: And we're obviously going to keep a very close eye on a number of the things that we talk about on a consistent basis.

Speaker #2: Rocket motors, given the concentrated supply base. Microelectronics, given the non-A&D demand that's out there. But if you just think longer term, and the potential impact of the framework agreements, it's going to require a step change, to your point, in the supply chain.

Speaker #2: And I think we need it. And the Department of War has been partnering with a lot of those folks to provide strategic capital to give them the balance sheet strength they need to make these investments.

Christopher Calio: If you just think longer term in the potential impact of the framework agreements, it's going to require a step change, to your point, in the supply chain. Now, the framework agreements do provide some potential long-term firm demand, and that's going to provide the visibility the supply chain needs to invest in people, tooling, test equipment, and capacity, which is great. I think longer term, the defense industrial base is going to need additional suppliers to improve the overall resiliency.

The Department of Defense has been partnering with a lot of those folks to provide strategic capital to give them the balance sheet strength they need to make these investments.

Speaker #2: But we're going to need all of that in order to not only meet the production ramp-up that we have in front of us now, but also the potential ramp-up that comes with the framework agreements.

Speaker #2: Now, the framework agreements do provide some potential long-term firm demand. And that's going to provide the visibility, the supply chain needs to invest in people, tooling, test equipment, and capacity, which is great.

Speaker #2: On critical minerals, I would just say that we've been working on this for a while, having seen this coming. And so we're covered in what I would call the near and medium term.

Speaker #2: But I think, longer term, the defense industrial base is going to need additional suppliers to improve overall resiliency, and the firm demand is likely going to incentivize quality suppliers from other industries to enter the supply base, which is great.

Speaker #2: And we're still seeking to lock up longer-term partnerships and contracts on a handful of those. And the department has actually been a really strong partner in that effort as well.

Speaker #2: And I think we need it. In the Department of War, it has been partnering with a lot of those folks to provide strategic capital to give them the balance sheet strength they need to make these investments.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Peter Armand. Of Baird. Please go ahead, Peter.

Christopher Calio: We're going to need all of that in order to not only meet the production ramp-up that we have in front of us now, but also the potential ramp-up that comes with the framework agreements. On critical minerals, I would just say that we've been working on this for a while, having seen this coming.

Speaker #6: Yeah. Thanks. Good morning, Chris, Neil, and Nathan.

Speaker #2: Good morning.

Speaker #6: Hey, Chris. Hey, Chris, if we could just stick on your framework comments, just wanted to kind of double-click on sort of how you're thinking about I know pricing is always sensitive, but how we're thinking about the impact when you're thinking about CapEx that you've had to put in place and then how should we think about potentially margins long-term?

Speaker #2: On critical minerals, I would just say that we've been working on this for a while, having seen this coming. And so we're covered in what I would call the near and medium term.

Speaker #2: And we're still seeking to lock up longer-term partnerships and contracts on a handful of those. And the department has actually been a really strong partner in that effort as well.

Speaker #6: Is there an opportunity here where the mix changes dramatically where you have more in production versus development mix? Just how you're thinking about Raytheon, just given investments that you need to do shortening up supply chain, etc., and then any pricing around some of these agreements.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Peter Amant. Of Baird. Please go ahead, Peter.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Peter Arment of Baird. Please go ahead, Peter.

Speaker #6: Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #2: Yeah. Thanks, Peter. Look, given the demand coming out of the Ukraine conflict, we've been investing for a while in increasing capacity. We mentioned a number of those in our upfront comments.

Speaker #5: Yeah. Thanks. Good morning, Chris, Neil, and Nathan.

Peter Arment: Yeah, thanks. Good morning, Chris, Neil, and Nathan. Good morning.

Speaker #2: Good morning.

Operator: Good morning.

Chris Calio: Good morning.

Speaker #5: Hey, Chris. Hey, Chris, if we could just stick on your framework comments, just wanted to kind of double-click on sort of how you're thinking about I know pricing is always sensitive, but how we're thinking about the impact when you're thinking about CapEx that you've had to put in place and then how should we think about potentially margins long-term?

I know pricing's always sensitive, but how we're thinking about the impact when you're thinking about CapEx that you've had to put in place and then, how should we think about potentially margins long term? Is there an opportunity here where the mix changes dramatically, where you have more in production versus development mix? Just how you're thinking about Raytheon, just given investments that you need to do, shoring up supply chain, et cetera, and then any pricing around some of these agreements. Thanks, Chris. Yeah. Thanks, Peter. Look, given the demand coming out of the Ukraine conflict, we've been investing for a while in increasing capacity. We mentioned a number of those in our upfront comments. Think Huntsville, think Andover, think McKinney, Texas.

Peter Arment: Hey, Chris, if we could just stick on your framework comments, just wanted to kind of double-click on sort of how you're thinking about. I know pricing's always sensitive, but how we're thinking about the impact when you're thinking about CapEx that you've had to put in place and then, how should we think about potentially margins long term?

Just how you're thinking about Raytheon, just given investments that you need to do, shoring up supply chain, et cetera, and then any pricing around some of these agreements. Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #2: Think Huntsville. Think Andover. Think McKinney, Texas. All those investments that you need to not only expand your footprint, but tooling, test equipment, and labor.

Speaker #2: So we've been on that path to meet the demand. On the framework agreements, again, I don't want to get too, too far into the details on this, Peter, only because we're still in the process of negotiations and discussions with the department on that.

Speaker #5: Is there an opportunity here where the mix changes dramatically—where you have more in production versus development mix? Just how you're thinking about Raytheon, just given investments that you need to do, shortening up supply chain, etc., and then any pricing around some of these agreements.

Speaker #2: But again, as I said before, when they are ultimately finalized, it will give the kind of long-term visibility that the supply chain will need to invest, which is critically important.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks, Peter. Look, given the demand coming out of the Ukraine conflict, we've been investing for a while in increasing capacity. We mentioned a number of those in our upfront comments.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Thanks, Peter. Look, given the demand coming out of the Ukraine conflict, we've been investing for a while in increasing capacity. We mentioned a number of those in our upfront comments. Think Huntsville, think Andover, think McKinney, Texas.

Speaker #2: I think the episodic nature previously of the ordering patterns made it very difficult for the supply chain to make those kinds of long-term investments.

Speaker #2: Think Huntsville. Think Andover. Think McKinney, Texas. All those investments that you need to not only expand your footprint, but tooling, test equipment, and labor.

Christopher Calio: All those investments that you need to not only expand your footprint, but tooling, test equipment, and labor. We've been on that path to meet the demand.

I think the episodic nature previously of the ordering patterns made it very difficult for the supply chain to make those kinds of long-term investments. Things like the framework agreements are here to sort of address that. Here's what I will say, if you just think about the overall economics of the framework agreements.

Things like the framework agreements are here to sort of address that. Here's what I will say, if you just think about the overall economics of the framework agreements.

Speaker #2: And things like the framework agreements are here to sort of address that. But here's what I will say if you just think about the overall economics of the framework agreements.

Speaker #2: They give us an opportunity to bundle materials. They give us an opportunity to leverage economy at scale. And they give us an opportunity to really drive production efficiencies.

Speaker #2: Especially given some of these are mature programs, things that are right in our wheelhouse. So we ultimately think that these are going to be very good business for us, but we're still going through the process to convert those into final agreements.

Speaker #2: I think the episodic nature, previously, of the ordering patterns made it very difficult for the supply chain to make those kinds of long-term investments.

Speaker #6: Appreciate the call. Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Miles Walton. Of Wolf Research. Please go ahead, Miles.

Speaker #2: And things like the framework agreements are here to sort of address that. But here's what I will say: if you just think about the overall economics of the framework agreements, they give us an opportunity to bundle materials.

Speaker #7: Thanks. Maybe a question again on Raytheon. Maybe a little bit bigger into the deep digging into the details on the sensors and effectors. So on the effectors side, as a surrogate, LHX laid out this almost 20% CAGR through 2030 for their missiles business.

Christopher Calio: They give us an opportunity to bundle materials. They give us an opportunity to leverage economy of scale. They give us an opportunity to really drive production efficiencies, especially given some of these are mature programs, things that are right in our wheelhouse. We ultimately think that these are going to be very good business for us. We're still going through the process to convert those into final agreements. Appreciate the color. Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #2: They give us an opportunity to leverage economy at scale. And they give us an efficiencies, especially given some of these are mature programs, things that are right in our wheelhouse.

Speaker #2: So, we ultimately think that these are going to be very good business for us, but we're still going through the process to convert those into final agreements.

Speaker #7: Would that be reflective of the kind of growth that you're expecting within that portfolio? And then we don't hear as much on the sensor side, but you mentioned the Andover expansion.

Speaker #5: Appreciate the call. Thanks, Chris.

Peter Arment: Appreciate the color. Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #7: So I'm curious on the sensor side, what kind of growth you're looking for as it relates to your business in Raytheon. Thanks.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Miles Walton of Wolfe Research. Please go ahead, Miles.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Myles Walton of Wolfe Research. Please go ahead, Miles.

Speaker #2: Hey, Miles. Good morning. I'll start on that one for you. Let me start by giving you a little bit of perspective on the Raytheon portfolio.

Speaker #4: Thanks. Maybe a question again on Raytheon. Maybe a little bit deeper, digging into the details on the sensors and effectors. So, on the effectors side, as a surrogate, LHX laid out this almost 20% CAGR through 2030 for their missiles business.

Myles Walton: Thanks. Maybe a question again on Raytheon, maybe a little bit digging into the details on the sensors and effectors.

Would that be reflective of the kind of growth that you're expecting within that portfolio? Then we don't hear as much on the sensor side, but you mentioned the Andover expansion. I'm curious on the sensor side, what kind of growth you're looking for as it relates to your business in Raytheon. Thanks.

Speaker #2: If we were to look at 25, 26, if you will, on a as a proxy for how large is the effector business within Raytheon, think about that as accounting for a little bit over 40% of the sales of Raytheon.

Speaker #2: So to just give you some context. And sensors, obviously, makes up a little less than that, but a large portion of the Raytheon business as well.

Speaker #4: Would that be reflective of the kind of growth that you're expecting within that portfolio? And then, we don't hear as much on the sensor side, but you mentioned the Andover expansion.

Speaker #2: And I would tell you that the growth we saw in the first quarter was significantly driven by the munitions and effectors. Also, the sensors in particular.

Speaker #4: So I'm curious on the sensor side, what kind of growth you're looking for as it relates to your business in Raytheon. Thanks.

Speaker #2: Hey, Miles. Good morning. I'll start on that one for you. Let me start by giving you a little bit of perspective on the Raytheon portfolio.

Christopher Calio: Hey, Miles. Good morning. I'll start on that one for you. Let me start by giving you a little bit of perspective on the Raytheon portfolio. If we were to look at 2025, 2026, if you will, as a proxy for how large is the effector business within Raytheon, think about that as accounting for a little bit over 40% of the sales of Raytheon. To just give you some context. Sensors obviously makes up a little less than that, but a large portion of the Raytheon business as well. I would tell you that the growth we saw in Q1 was significantly driven by the munitions and effectors, also the sensors, Patriot in particular. We're seeing double-digit growth rates on those businesses, in the quarter. I expect that to continue as we go forward.

Neil Mitchill: Hey, Myles. Good morning. I'll start on that one for you. Let me start by giving you a little bit of perspective on the Raytheon portfolio. If we were to look at 2025, 2026, if you will, as a proxy for how large is the effector business within Raytheon, think about that as accounting for a little bit over 40% of the sales of Raytheon.

We're seeing double-digit growth rates on those businesses, in the quarter. I expect that to continue as we go forward.

Speaker #2: And we're seeing double-digit growth rates on those businesses in the quarter. And I expect that to continue as we go forward. Keep in mind everything that Chris just spent a couple of questions talking about is not even in our backlog yet.

Speaker #2: If we were to look at '25, '26, if you will, as a proxy for how large the effector business is within Raytheon, think about that as accounting for a little bit over 40% of the sales of Raytheon.

Speaker #2: So we're just talking about delivering today's backlog to both our US and our international customers. On the sensor side, we see a lot of runway ahead of us there as well.

Speaker #2: So, to just give you some context—and sensors obviously make up a little less than that, but a large portion of the Raytheon business as well.

Speaker #2: We're continuing to build and deliver Patriot systems, NASAMS systems, the Coyote system, and obviously, we're ramping up our production on LTAMs as we look forward.

Speaker #2: And I would tell you that the growth we saw in the first quarter was significantly driven by the munitions and effectors. Also, the sensors in particular.

Speaker #2: So hopefully, that helps give a little bit of context on the size of the business and where we see it going. Again, as we finalize those agreements, we'll be sharing more details on the specifics as they come to finality.

Speaker #2: And we're seeing double-digit growth rates on those businesses in the quarter, and I expect that to continue as we go forward. Keep in mind, everything that Chris just spent a couple of questions talking about is not even in our backlog yet.

Again, as we finalize those agreements, we'll be sharing more details on the specifics as they come to finality. Chris?

Speaker #2: Chris?

Speaker #7: No, the only thing I was going to add there, Miles, is I think the underlying premise of your question is a good one, which is I think the sensors potential has been something that has perhaps been under-discussed given obviously the framework agreements and all the replenishment that you're going to need on the effector side.

Speaker #2: So we're just talking about delivering today's backlog to both our US and our international customers. On the sensor side, we see a lot of runway ahead of us there as well.

Speaker #2: We're continuing to build and deliver Patriot systems, NASAMS systems, the Coyote system, and obviously, we're ramping up our production on LTAMs as we look forward.

Speaker #7: And Neil rattled off a whole bunch of pieces of that portfolio. Which I think are going to be really critical priorities. But again, just think Golden Dome.

Speaker #2: So, hopefully that helps give a little bit of context on the size of the business and where we see it going. Again, as we finalize those agreements, we'll be sharing more details on the specifics as they come to finality.

Speaker #7: Think integrated air and missile defense. The sensor portfolio is going to continue to grow in importance. And I think we're going to see the output there have to grow over the long term as well.

Speaker #2: Chris?

Speaker #4: No, the only thing I was going to add there, Miles, is I think the underlying premise of your question is a good one, which is, I think the sensors' potential has been something that has perhaps been under-discussed, given obviously the framework agreements and all the replenishment that you're going to need on the effector side.

Christopher Calio: No, the only thing I was going to add there, Myles, is I think the underlying premise of your question is a good one, which is I think the sensors' potential has been something that has perhaps been under-discussed given obviously the framework agreements and all the replenishment that you're going to need on the effector side.

Speaker #6: Thanks.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Kristine Liwag. Of Morgan Stanley, please go ahead, Kristine.

Speaker #8: Hey, good morning, everyone. When we look at what's happening in Iran, there's a clear increasing need to solve for some of the cost mismatch issues for the lower-cost drones.

Speaker #4: And Neil rattled off a whole bunch of pieces of that portfolio, which I think are going to be really critical priorities. But again, just think 'golden dome.'

Speaker #8: I guess the demand signal for your existing products is very clear. And the replenish of the arsenal makes sense. But can you talk about how you're thinking about the solutions you could provide in these higher volume but cheap drones, especially when we think about the future of warfare?

Speaker #4: Think integrated air and missile defense. The sensor portfolio is going to continue to grow in importance. And I think we're going to see the output there have to grow over the long term as well.

Speaker #5: Thanks.

Myles Walton: Thanks.

Speaker #8: And how that could be integrated into the Golden Dome?

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Christine Luarque of Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead, Christine.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Kristine Liwag of Morgan Stanley. Please go ahead, Christine.

Speaker #7: Yep. Thanks, Christine. Appreciate the question. I think just to provide some high-level context here, I think we're going to continue to need the right mix of capabilities.

Kristine Liwag: Hey. Good morning, everyone.

Speaker #6: Hey, good morning, everyone. When we look at what's happening in Iran, there's a clear increasing need to solve for some of the cost mismatch issues for the lower-cost drones.

Christopher Calio: Good morning.

Chris Calio: Good morning.

Kristine Liwag: When we look at what's happening in Iran, so there's a clear increasing need to solve for some of the cost mismatch issues with the lower cost drones. I guess, the demand signal for your existing product is very clear, and the replenish of the arsenal makes sense.

Speaker #7: And you're absolutely right. The Department of War has put priorities around munitions depth and replenishment, integrated air missile defense, Golden Dome. All the things that are in the Raytheon wheelhouse and very mature products and products that are in production today.

Speaker #6: I guess the demand signal for your existing products is very clear, and the replenishment of the arsenal makes sense. But can you talk about how you're thinking about the solutions you could provide in these higher-volume but inexpensive drones, especially when we think about the future of warfare and how that could be integrated into the Golden Dome?

Kristine Liwag: Can you talk about how you're thinking about the solutions you could provide and these higher volume but cheap drones, especially when we think about the future of warfare, and how that could be integrated into the Golden Dome?

Speaker #7: But your point about counter-UAS is a good one. We talked up front about our Coyote system. And the Coyote system has been in great demand.

Speaker #7: It's performed exceptionally well in the field. And we've just actually started to introduce a non-kinetic version of the Coyote. So it can go up.

Speaker #4: Yep. Thanks, Christine. Appreciate the question. I think just to provide some high-level context here, I think we're going to continue to need the right mix of capabilities.

Christopher Calio: Yep. Thanks, Kristine. Appreciate the question. I think just to provide some high-level context here, I think we're going to continue to need the right mix of capabilities. You're absolutely right, the Department of Defense has put priorities around munitions depth and replenishment, integrated air missile defense, Golden Dome, all the things that are in the Raytheon wheelhouse, and very mature products and products that are in production today.

It's performed exceptionally well in the field, and we've just actually started to introduce a non-kinetic version of the Coyote. It can go up, it can perform its mission, it can address drone swarms, it can then come back and be redeployed, recharged, and again, go out and prosecute another mission.

Chris Calio: Yep. Thanks, Kristine. Appreciate the question. I think just to provide some high-level context here, I think we're going to continue to need the right mix of capabilities.

Speaker #4: And you're absolutely right. The Department of War has put priorities around munitions depth and replenishment, integrated air missile defense, Golden Dome—all the things that are in the Raytheon wheelhouse, and very mature products, and products that are in production today.

Speaker #7: So that goes to the low-cost, reusable nature of that particular platform. And we're seeing really, really strong demand both domestically and internationally. In fact, we just had an FMS case approved for Coyote for the UAE.

Speaker #4: But your point about counter-UAS is a good one. We talked up front about our Coyote system. And the Coyote system has been in great demand.

Speaker #4: It's performed exceptionally well in the field. And we've just actually started to introduce a non-kinetic version of the Coyote, so it can go up.

Speaker #7: Just to show the level of international demand there. I think more broadly, you're right. There are a number of lower-cost sort of platforms that are out there.

Speaker #7: I'm not sure that's where we're going to compete on a platform level. But I do think there are going to be opportunities for us to be a platform-agnostic supplier of systems on some of these solutions.

Speaker #4: It can perform its mission. It can address drone swarms. It can then come back and be redeployed, recharged, and again, go out and prosecute another mission.

Speaker #4: So that goes to the low-cost, reusable nature of that particular platform. And we're seeing really, really strong demand both domestically and internationally. In fact, we just had an FMS case approved for Coyote for the UAE.

Speaker #7: Whether that be mission systems, whether that be autonomy, whether that be propulsion. So that's kind of how we see this landscape playing out. Clear demand for the high-end capabilities that are in our backlog today and that are part of the framework agreement.

Christopher Calio: That goes to the low cost, reusable nature of that particular platform. We're seeing really, really strong demand both domestically and internationally. In fact, we just had an FMS case approved for Coyote for the UAE, just to show the level of international demand there. I think more broadly, you're right, there are a number of lower cost sort of platforms that are out there. I'm not sure that's where we're going to compete on a platform level, but I do think there are going to be opportunities for us to be a platform-agnostic supplier of systems on some of these solutions, whether that be mission systems, whether that be autonomy, whether that be propulsion. That's kind of how we see this landscape playing out. Clear demand for the high-end capabilities that are in our backlog today and that are part of the framework agreement.

Chris Calio: That goes to the low cost, reusable nature of that particular platform. We're seeing really, really strong demand both domestically and internationally. In fact, we just had an FMS case approved for Coyote for the UAE, just to show the level of international demand there.

That's kind of how we see this landscape playing out. Clear demand for the high-end capabilities that are in our backlog today and that are part of the framework agreement.

Speaker #7: Clear strength in our counter-UAS capabilities. Again, Coyote and then opportunities for us to play on some of those other platforms as a supplier.

Speaker #4: Just to show the level of international demand there. I think more broadly, you're right. There are a number of lower-cost, sort of, platforms that are out there. I'm not sure that's where we're going to compete on a platform level.

Speaker #4: But I do think there are going to be opportunities for us to be a platform-agnostic supplier of systems on some of these solutions, whether that be mission systems, whether that be autonomy, whether that be propulsion.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line. Of Mariana Perez Mara. Of B of A. Please go ahead, Mariana.

Speaker #4: So that's kind of how we see this landscape playing out. There's clear demand for the high-end capabilities that are in our backlog today and that are part of the framework agreement.

Speaker #9: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking my question. I wanted to follow up about the tariff impact. How is the impact so far after this new metal tariffs that were recently announced?

Speaker #4: Clear strength in our counter-UAS capabilities. Again, Coyote and then opportunities for us to play on some of those other platforms as a supplier.

Christopher Calio: Clear strength in our Counter-UAS capabilities, again, Coyote. Opportunities for us to play on some of those other platforms as a supplier.

Chris Calio: Clear strength in our Counter-UAS capabilities, again, Coyote. Opportunities for us to play on some of those other platforms as a supplier.

Speaker #9: And also, the Supreme Court ruling on IEPA.

Speaker #2: Sure. I'll start with that one. Thanks for the question. On the tariffs, really no change today to our outlook for tariffs for the P&L for the full year.

Kristine Liwag: Thank you.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mariana Perez Mora of BofA. Please go ahead, Mariana.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Mariana Perez Mora of BofA. Please go ahead, Mariana.

Speaker #2: We talked about back in January, seeing about a 75 million dollar year-over-year tailwind as we continue to implement mitigations there. Obviously, the IEPA tariffs court ruling have been overturned.

Speaker #7: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking my question. I wanted to follow up about the tariff impact. How is the impact so far after this new metal tariffs that were recently announced and also the Supreme Court ruling on IEPA?

Mariana Perez Mora: Good morning, everyone. Thank you for taking my question. I wanted to follow up about the tariff impact. How do we see the impact so far after these new metal tariffs that were recently announced, and also the Supreme Court ruling on IEPA.

Speaker #2: They've been replaced with Section 122 and some other tariffs called Section 232. And so right now, we're sort of saying on balance, the tariff impact is about the same.

Speaker #2: That said, since the tariffs for IEPA were put in place, we paid about 500 million dollars associated with that kind of tariff. Obviously, the government is in the process of starting the refund process.

Speaker #2: Sure, I'll start with that one. Thanks for the question. On the tariffs, really no change today to our outlook for tariffs for the P&L for the full year.

Christopher Calio: Sure. I'll start with that one. Thanks for the question on the tariffs. Really no change today to our outlook for tariffs for the P&L for the full year. We talked about, back in January, seeing about a $75 million year-over-year tailwind as we continue to implement mitigations there. Obviously, the IEEPA tariffs court ruling have been overturned. They've been replaced with Section 122 and some other tariffs called Section 232. Right now we're sort of saying, on balance, the tariff impact is about the same. That said, since the tariffs for IEEPA were put in place, we paid about $500 million associated with that kind of tariff. Obviously, the government is in the process of starting the refund process, and as we gain more clarity into that, we too will submit requests for our refunds there.

Chris Calio: Sure. I'll start with that one. Thanks for the question on the tariffs. Really no change today to our outlook for tariffs for the P&L for the full year. We talked about, back in January, seeing about a $75 million year-over-year tailwind as we continue to implement mitigations there. Obviously, the IEEPA tariffs court ruling have been overturned. They've been replaced with Section 122 and some other tariffs called Section 232. Right now we're sort of saying, on balance, the tariff impact is about the same. That said, since the tariffs for IEEPA were put in place, we paid about $500 million associated with that kind of tariff. Obviously, the government is in the process of starting the refund process, and as we gain more clarity into that, we too will submit requests for our refunds there.

Speaker #2: We talked about back in January, seeing about a 75-million-dollar year-over-year tailwind as we continue to implement mitigations there. Obviously, the IEPA tariffs court ruling have been overturned.

Speaker #2: And as we gain more clarity into that, we too will submit requests for our refunds there. We have not recorded income associated with reversing any of the expenses that we took and we have not included that in our guidance for this year either.

Speaker #2: They've been replaced with Section 122 and some other tariffs called Section 232. And so, right now, we're sort of saying, on balance, the tariff impact is about the same.

Speaker #2: So more to come there. But no change to our outlook today based on any of those changes. And if it improves, you'll see it in the bottom line.

Speaker #2: But right now, we're continuing to monitor it like everyone. Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Scott Deuschle. Of Deutsche Bank, your line is open, Scott.

Speaker #2: And as we gain more clarity into that, we too will submit requests for our refunds there. We have not recorded income associated with reversing any of the expenses that we took, and we have not included that in our guidance for this year either.

Speaker #10: Hey, good morning. Chris, can you walk us through how you're thinking about the pricing strategy for hot section plus, which I believe is off warranty?

Christopher Calio: We have not recorded income associated with reversing any of the expenses that we took. We have not included that in our guidance for this year either. More to come there, but no change to our outlook today based on any of those changes. If it improves, you'll see it in the bottom line. Right now, we're continuing to monitor it like everyone.

Chris Calio: We have not recorded income associated with reversing any of the expenses that we took. We have not included that in our guidance for this year either. More to come there, but no change to our outlook today based on any of those changes. If it improves, you'll see it in the bottom line. Right now, we're continuing to monitor it like everyone.

Speaker #10: And then do you require any additional regulatory approvals to begin providing hot section plus on upcoming shop visits?

Speaker #7: Yep. Hey, Scott. Thanks for the question. Well, first and foremost, we're really pleased here to have the aircraft certification on the GTF Advantage, which, as you know, is where the hot section plus comes from.

Speaker #2: So more to come there. But no change to our outlook today based on any of those changes. And if it improves, you'll see it in the bottom line.

Speaker #2: But right now, we're continuing to monitor it like everyone.

Speaker #7: So that paves the way for Advantage to enter into service later this year. And those GTF Advantage engines are already moving through our production lines.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Scott Deuschle of Deutsche Bank. Your line is open, Scott.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Scott Deutschla of Deutsche Bank. Your line is open, Scott.

Speaker #7: And so I know our customers are looking forward to the increased time on wing and the fuel efficiency. And to your point, the hot section plus is the effectively the Advantage retrofit package.

Speaker #5: Hey, good morning. Chris, can you walk us through how you're thinking about the pricing strategy for Hot Section Plus, which I believe is off warranty?

Scott Deuschle: Hey, good morning. Chris, can you walk us through how you're thinking about the pricing strategy for Hot Section Plus, which I believe is off warranty? Do you require any additional regulatory approvals to begin providing Hot Section Plus on upcoming shop visits?

Speaker #7: Those 30 to 35 parts are going to provide almost 95% of the durability benefits of the Advantage. And they're going to get introduced into MRO a little bit later this year.

Speaker #5: And then, do you require any additional regulatory approvals to begin providing Hot Section Plus on upcoming shop visits?

Speaker #4: Yep. Hey, Scott. Thanks for the question. Well, first and foremost, we're really pleased here to have the aircraft certification on the GTF Advantage, which, as you know, is where the hot section plus comes from.

Christopher Calio: Yep. Hey, Scott. Thanks for the question. Well, first and foremost, we're really pleased here to have the aircraft certification on the GTF Advantage, which as you know, is where the Hot Section Plus comes from.

Those 30 to 35 parts are going to provide almost 95% of the durability benefits of the Advantage, and they're going to get introduced into MRO a little bit later this year. They'll be introduced in MRO before likely the actual engine goes into service later this year.

Chris Calio: Yep. Hey, Scott. Thanks for the question. Well, first and foremost, we're really pleased here to have the aircraft certification on the GTF Advantage, which as you know, is where the Hot Section Plus comes from.

They'll be introduced in MRO before likely the actual engine goes into service later this year.

Speaker #7: So they'll be introduced in MRO before likely the actual engine goes into service later this year. In terms of the pricing strategy, I mean, look, we've invested significantly in the Advantage in all of the design and the testing and the like.

Speaker #4: So that paves the way for Advantage to enter into service later this year. And those GTF Advantage engines are already moving through our production lines.

Speaker #4: And so I know our customers are looking forward to the increased time on wing and the fuel efficiency. And to your point, the hot section plus is effectively the Advantage retrofit package.

Speaker #7: And we plan to get value for that investment. Are there certain contracts that we have where it might make sense to incorporate versus others depending on where they're operating and what the environment looks like?

Speaker #4: Those 30 to 35 parts are going to provide almost 95% of the durability benefits of the Advantage. And they're going to get introduced into MRO a little bit later this year.

Speaker #7: Yes. And we're continuing to look at where it might be the most beneficial but our intent is to get value for the investment that we've made and the value that it's going to continue to bring customers in terms of the time on wing and the fuel efficiency, which is again becoming a more important part of the overall equation.

Speaker #4: So they'll be introduced in MRO before, likely, the actual engine goes into service later this year. In terms of the pricing strategy, I mean, look, we've invested significantly in the Advantage and all of the design, and the testing, and the like.

Christopher Calio: In terms of the pricing strategy, I mean, look, we've invested significantly in the Advantage in all of the design and the testing and the like, and we plan to get value for that investment.

Chris Calio: In terms of the pricing strategy, I mean, look, we've invested significantly in the Advantage in all of the design and the testing and the like, and we plan to get value for that investment. Are there certain contracts that we have where it might make sense to incorporate versus others, depending on where they're operating and what the environment looks like?

Speaker #10: Really helpful. And then Neil, can you explain how the transition to GTF Advantage will influence negative engine margin on the program? I assume there's some better pricing there.

Speaker #4: And we plan to get value for that investment. Are there certain contracts that we have where it might make sense to incorporate, versus others, depending on where they're operating and what the environment looks like?

Speaker #10: But it's not clear how that net's against presumably higher costs. If you could clarify that balance, that'd be really helpful.

Speaker #7: Sure. I think, thanks, Scott. I appreciate the question here. As we look forward, I think the GTF Advantage will have a little bit more cost associated with the engine as it brings greater capability and durability.

Speaker #4: Yes, and we're continuing to look at where it might be the most beneficial, but our intent is to get value for the investment that we've made.

Christopher Calio: Yes, we're continuing to look at where it might be the most beneficial. Our intent is to get value for the investment that we've made and the value that it's going to continue to bring customers in terms of the time on wing and the fuel efficiency, which is again becoming a more important part of the overall equation.

Our intent is to get value for the investment that we've made and the value that it's going to continue to bring customers in terms of the time on wing and the fuel efficiency, which is again becoming a more important part of the overall equation.

Speaker #7: But that said, you named it. There'll be some more pricing there as well. So on balance, I don't see a lot of headwind on a per-engine basis as we begin to ramp up on the GTF Advantage engine over the next several years.

Speaker #4: And the value that it's going to continue to bring customers in terms of the time on wing and the fuel efficiency, which is again becoming a more important part of the overall equation.

Speaker #5: Really helpful. And then, Neil, can you explain how the transition to GTF Advantage will influence negative engine margin on the program? I assume there's some better pricing there.

Scott Deuschle: Really helpful. Neil, can you explain how the transition to GTF Advantage will influence negative engine margin on the program? I assume there's some better pricing there. It's not clear how that nets against presumably higher costs. If you could clarify that balance, that'd be really helpful.

Speaker #7: So as we talked about for this year, we do think there's going to be a couple hundred million dollars of headwind on OE margins throughout the course of the year.

Speaker #5: But it's not clear how that nets against presumably higher costs. If you could clarify that balance, that'd be really helpful.

Speaker #7: I'll tell you for the first quarter, it was pretty much flat, not a major driver of the year-over-year performance at Pratt. They're doing a really nice job managing the cost of the engine.

Speaker #2: Sure. I think—thanks, Scott. I appreciate the question here. As we look forward, I think the GTF Advantage will have a little bit more cost associated with the engine as it brings greater capability and durability.

Neil Mitchill: Sure. Thanks, Scott. I appreciate the question here. As we look forward, I think the GTF Advantage will have a little bit more cost associated with the engine as it brings greater capability and durability. That said, you named it, there'll be some more pricing there as well. On balance, I don't see a lot of headwind on a per-engine basis as we begin to ramp up on the GTF Advantage engine over the next several years. As we talked about for this year, we do think there's going to be $200 million of headwind on OE margins throughout the course of the year. I'll tell you for Q1, it was pretty much flat, not a major driver of the year-over-year performance at Pratt. They're doing a really nice job managing the cost of the engine.

Speaker #7: We're going to continue to see negative margins on deliveries of new engines. But obviously, the aftermarket is continuing to ramp there considerably. You heard Chris talk about the 22% GTF MRO output increase in the first quarter.

Speaker #2: But that said, you named it. There'll be some more pricing there as well. So, on balance, I don't see a lot of headwind on a per-engine basis as we begin to ramp up on the GTF Advantage engine over the next several years.

Speaker #7: That's driving aftermarket. The mix of those shop visits is getting heavier as well. And the margins on the aftermarket are low double digits. So we're starting to see the sequential improvement in the profile of the aftermarket at Pratt as well.

Speaker #2: So as we talked about for this year, we do think there's going to be a couple hundred million dollars of headwind on OE margins throughout the course of the year.

Speaker #2: I'll tell you for the first quarter, it was pretty much flat, not a major driver of the year-over-year performance at Pratt. They're doing a really nice job managing the cost of the engine.

Speaker #7: So on balance, it's good business. It's great to see the certification occur here in the first quarter. And we're looking forward to making a very disciplined cutover over the next year and a half or so.

Speaker #2: We're going to continue to see negative margins on deliveries of new engines. But obviously, the aftermarket is continuing to ramp there considerably. You heard Chris talk about the 22% GTF MRO output increase in the first quarter.

Neil Mitchill: We're going to continue to see negative margins on deliveries of new engines, but obviously the aftermarket is continuing to ramp there considerably. You heard Chris talk about the 22% GTF MRO output increase in Q1. That's driving aftermarket. The mix of those shop visits is getting heavier as well. The margins on the aftermarket are low double digits. We're starting to see the sequential improvement in the profile of the aftermarket at Pratt as well. On balance, it's good business. It's great to see the certification occur here in Q1, and we're looking forward to making a very disciplined cut over the next year and a half or so.

Speaker #10: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line. Of John Gooden. Of Citi, please go ahead, John.

Speaker #2: That's driving aftermarket. The mix of those shop visits is getting heavier as well. And the margins on the aftermarket are low double digits. So we're starting to see the sequential improvement in the profile of the aftermarket at Pratt as well.

Speaker #11: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I was hoping to revisit Raytheon and the defense trends. Clearly, a lot of opportunities there and the guidance was raised.

Speaker #11: That said, it was a very strong start to the year. So it feels like perhaps guidance is even a bit conservative. Maybe you could just revisit the outlook a bit and the shape of the year and how you see it playing out.

Speaker #2: So on balance, it's good business. It's great to see the certification occur here in the first quarter. And we're looking forward to making a very disciplined cutover over the next year and a half or so.

Speaker #11: Thanks.

Speaker #5: Thank you.

Scott Deuschle: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thanks, John. I'll take that one. Yeah. Really pleased with the start of the year for Raytheon. Seeing 9% growth on the top line. Chris talked about the material receipts, 12 consecutive quarters, 13% growth there.

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line. Of John Godin. Of Citi, please go ahead, John.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jason Gursky of Citi. Please go ahead, John.

Speaker #7: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I was hoping to revisit Raytheon and the defense trends. Clearly, a lot of opportunities there, and the guidance was raised.

Jason Gursky: Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question. I was hoping to revisit Raytheon and the defense trends. Clearly a lot of opportunities there, and the guidance was raised. That said, it was a very strong start to the year, so it feels like perhaps guidance is even a bit conservative. Maybe you could just revisit the outlook a bit, and the shape of the year, and how you see it playing out. Thanks.

Speaker #2: So we've been working the team has been working very hard to make sure that we are prepared to deliver the backlog we have and then get ready for the future as well.

Speaker #2: With that strength, we dropped it through to our guide. We took up the top line at RTX by 500 million dollars on the low and the high end of the range.

Speaker #7: That said, it was a very strong start to the year. So it feels like perhaps guidance is even a bit conservative. Maybe you could just revisit the outlook a bit, and the shape of the year, and how you see it playing out.

Speaker #2: Say about 350 million of that is all attributable to the Raytheon performance largely in the first quarter and what we can see as we enter here into the second quarter.

Speaker #7: Thanks.

Speaker #2: Thanks, John. I'll take that one. Yeah, really pleased with the start of the year for Raytheon. Seeing 9% growth on the top line. Chris talked about the material receipts—12 consecutive quarters, 13% growth there.

Neil Mitchill: Thanks, Jason. I'll take that one. Yeah. Really pleased with the start of the year for Raytheon. Seeing 9% growth on the top line. Christopher talked about the material receipts, 12 consecutive quarters, 13% growth there. The team has been working very hard to make sure that we are prepared to deliver the backlog we have and then get ready for the future as well. With that strength, we dropped it through to our guide. We took up the top line at RTX by $500 million on the low and the high end of the range. I'd say about $350 million of that is all attributable to the Raytheon performance, largely in Q1 and what we can see as we enter here into Q2. The rest of the sales increase, we'll see some lower eliminations at the RTX level. Together, that's about $500 million.

Speaker #2: The rest of the sales increase will see some lower eliminations at the RTX level. So together, that's about 500 million. And we're seeing good drop-through as you can see.

Speaker #2: The margins for Raytheon were 12.2% in the first quarter. We had 32 million dollars of year-over-year productivity improvement at Raytheon. So really nice start to the year.

Speaker #2: So, we've been working— the team has been working very hard to make sure that we are prepared to deliver the backlog we have, and then get ready for the future as well.

Speaker #2: With that strength, we dropped it through to our guide. We took up the top line at RTX by $500 million on the low and the high end of the range.

Speaker #2: We're putting that into our guidance as well. And so that's a big driver of the 75 million dollar increase in the range on both ends of the high and low end of the range for Raytheon.

Speaker #2: Say about $350 million of that is all attributable to the Raytheon performance, largely in the first quarter, and what we can see as we enter here into the second quarter.

Speaker #2: So again, it's one quarter. We think that the business is performing quite well. We're seeing really good mix in the business. And as we continue to see that supply chain keep pace with our delivery plans, then we'll revisit that again here in July.

Speaker #2: The rest of the sales increase, we'll see some lower eliminations at the RTX level. So together, that's about $500 million. And we're seeing good drop-through, as you can see.

Neil Mitchill: We're seeing good drop-through. As you can see, the margins for Raytheon were 12.2% in Q1. We had $32 million of year-over-year productivity improvement at Raytheon. Really nice start to the year. We're putting that into our guidance as well, and so that's a big driver of the $75 million increase in the range on both end of the high and low end of the range for Raytheon. Again, it's one quarter. We think that the business is performing quite well. We're seeing really good mix in the business. As we continue to see that supply chain keep pace with our delivery plans, then we'll revisit that again here in July. Really pleased with the start and looking forward to continuing to see the ramp.

Speaker #2: The margins for Raytheon were 12.2% in the first quarter. We had $32 million of year-over-year productivity improvement at Raytheon, so really nice start to the year.

Speaker #2: But really pleased with the start. And looking forward to continuing to see the ramp. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman.

Speaker #2: We're putting that into our guidance as well. And so, that's a big driver of the $75 million increase in the range on both ends—the high and low end of the range—for Raytheon.

Speaker #2: Of JPMorgan, please go ahead, Seth.

Speaker #12: Hey, good morning, everyone. I wanted to ask wanted to ask about the impact of lower expected air travel growth on the aftermarket businesses. At both Collins and Pratt, particularly maybe the short cycle stuff at Collins.

Speaker #2: But really pleased with the start, and looking forward to continuing to see the ramp.

Speaker #12: But if you could address it overall, we heard elsewhere this morning about the potential for a lagged effect. And so thinking about is it some impact coming later this year and into '27?

Speaker #3: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Seth Safeman of JPMorgan. Please go ahead, Seth.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Seth Seifman of J.P. Morgan. Please go ahead, Seth.

Speaker #12: But it's a pretty significant hit to air travel growth this year. So maybe you could address that.

Seth Seifman: Hey, good morning, everyone.

Speaker #8: Hey. Good morning, everyone. I wanted to ask I wanted to ask about the impact of lower expected air travel growth on the aftermarket businesses.

Speaker #13: Yeah. Thanks, Seth. Well, the first thing I'll say is that we were really pleased with the way we started the year in our aftermarket business with 14% growth.

Operator: Sorry.

Seth Seifman: All right. Wanted to ask about the impact of lower expected air travel growth on the aftermarket businesses at both Collins and Pratt. Particularly maybe the shorter cycle stuff at Collins. If you could address it overall. We heard elsewhere this morning about the potential for a lagged effect, so thinking about, is it some impact coming later this year and into 2027? It's a pretty significant hit to air travel growth this year, so maybe you could address that.

Speaker #13: And the demand that we saw. And you're right. We're watching all the things that you're watching in the environment and the implications around higher fuel prices, jet fuel shortages.

Speaker #8: At both Collins and Pratt, particularly maybe the first cycle stuff at Collins. But if you could address it overall, we heard elsewhere this morning about the potential for a lagged effect.

Speaker #13: The moves that airlines are making on capacity adjustments. If you just think about our business, I think you've got to look at it by business unit and by channel to really understand sort of some of the implications.

Speaker #8: And so, thinking about it, is there some impact coming later this year and into '27? But it's a pretty significant hit to air travel growth this year.

Speaker #8: So, maybe you could address that.

Speaker #13: Now, some of the initial moves that the airlines are making where they're retiring much older sort of platforms again, a lot of our aftermarket isn't reliant on those.

Speaker #2: Yeah, thanks, Seth. Well, the first thing I'll say is that we were really pleased with the way we started the year in our aftermarket business, with 14% growth.

Neil Mitchill: Yeah. Thanks, Seth. Well, the first thing I'll say is that we were really pleased with the way we started the year in our aftermarket business with 14% growth and the demand that we saw. You're right, we're watching all the things that you're watching in the environment and the implications around higher fuel prices, jet fuel shortages, the moves that airlines are making on capacity adjustments. If you just think about our business, I think you've got to look at it by business unit and by channel to really understand sort of some of the implications.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Thanks, Seth. Well, the first thing I'll say is that we were really pleased with the way we started the year in our aftermarket business with 14% growth and the demand that we saw. You're right, we're watching all the things that you're watching in the environment and the implications around higher fuel prices, jet fuel shortages, the moves that airlines are making on capacity adjustments. If you just think about our business, I think you've got to look at it by business unit and by channel to really understand sort of some of the implications.

Speaker #13: We don't see a lot of maintenance opportunities on some of those platforms. So those near-term moves don't see a lot of impact. If you look at Pratt, the two largest portions of our aftermarket are the V2500 and the GTF.

Speaker #2: And the demand that we saw—and you're right—we're watching all the things that you're watching in the environment and the implications around higher fuel prices and jet fuel shortages.

Speaker #2: The moves that airlines are making on capacity adjustments—if you just think about our business, I think you've got to look at it by business unit and by channel to really understand some of the implications.

Speaker #13: As we've said before, the V2500 is still a very, very young fleet, 50% of it hasn't had a first or second shop visit. Shop visits were very strong here in the first quarter.

Speaker #2: Now, some of the initial moves that the airlines are making where they're retiring much older sort of platforms again, a lot of our aftermarket isn't reliant on those.

Christopher Calio: Now, some of the initial moves that the airlines are making, where they're retiring much older platforms. Again, a lot of our aftermarket isn't reliant on those. We don't see a lot of maintenance opportunities on some of those platforms. Those near-term moves don't see a lot of impact. If you look at Pratt, the two largest portions of our aftermarket are the V2500 and the GTF. As we've said before, the V2500 is still a very young fleet, 50% of it hasn't had a first or second shop visit. Shop visits were very strong here in Q1, and again, look to continue to be strong throughout the year. On the GTF, well, number one, it's the most fuel efficient, which right now, of course, is, I think, what people are focused on.

Chris Calio: Now, some of the initial moves that the airlines are making, where they're retiring much older platforms. Again, a lot of our aftermarket isn't reliant on those. We don't see a lot of maintenance opportunities on some of those platforms. Those near-term moves don't see a lot of impact.

As we've said before, the V2500 is still a very young fleet, 50% of it hasn't had a first or second shop visit. Shop visits were very strong here in Q1, and again, look to continue to be strong throughout the year. On the GTF, well, number one, it's the most fuel efficient, which right now, of course, is, I think, what people are focused on.

Speaker #13: And again, look to continue to be strong throughout the year. And on the GTF, well, number one, it's the most fuel-efficient, which right now, of course, is, I think, what people are focused on.

Speaker #2: We don't see a lot of maintenance opportunities on some of those platforms. So those near-term moves don't see a lot of impact. If you look at Pratt, the two largest portions of our aftermarket are the V2500 and the GTF.

Speaker #13: But beyond that, you obviously know that we've got the fleet health issues that we're contending with. We've got to continue to move engines out of the parking lot into our MRO shops.

Speaker #13: And we've seen good output there as Neil talked about. So the demand for GTF MRO is going to continue to be a pretty robust.

Speaker #2: As we've said before, the V2500 is still a very, very young fleet. Fifty percent of it hasn't had a first or second shop visit. Shop visits were very strong here in the first quarter.

Speaker #13: At Collins, again, you've got sort of the three channels, the parts and repair, the provisioning, and the mods and upgrades. And I think where you'll start to see any potential issue would perhaps be in provisioning and mods and upgrades, provisioning if airlines decide that they want to sort of live with lower stocking levels and mods and upgrades if the airlines decide they want to maybe defer some of those things.

Speaker #2: And again, look to continue to be strong throughout the year. And on the GTF, well, number one, it's the most fuel-efficient, which right now, of course, is, I think, what people are focused on.

Speaker #2: But beyond that, you obviously know that we've got the fleet health issues that we're contending with. We've got to continue to move engines out of the parking lot into our MRO shops.

Christopher Calio: Beyond that, you obviously know that we've got the fleet health issues that we're contending with. We've got to continue to move engines out of the parking lot into our MRO shops, and we've seen good output there, as Neil talked about. The demand for GTF MRO is going to continue to be pretty robust. At Collins, again, you've got the three channels, the parts and repair, the provisioning, and the mods and upgrades. I think, where you'll start to see any potential issue would perhaps be in provisioning, in mods and upgrades provisioning, if airlines decide that they want to live with lower stocking levels, and mods and upgrades, if the airlines decide they want to maybe defer some of those things.

Chris Calio: Beyond that, you obviously know that we've got the fleet health issues that we're contending with. We've got to continue to move engines out of the parking lot into our MRO shops, and we've seen good output there, as Neil talked about. The demand for GTF MRO is going to continue to be pretty robust. At Collins, again, you've got the three channels, the parts and repair, the provisioning, and the mods and upgrades. I think, where you'll start to see any potential issue would perhaps be in provisioning, in mods and upgrades provisioning, if airlines decide that they want to live with lower stocking levels, and mods and upgrades, if the airlines decide they want to maybe defer some of those things.

Speaker #13: Now, we just haven't seen any of the impact on the demand yet. But that's kind of how we're thinking about it. And that's kind of how we're tracking it.

Speaker #2: And we've seen good output there, as Neil talked about. So the demand for GTF MRO is going to continue to be pretty robust.

Speaker #2: Great. Thanks, Chris.

Speaker #13: I don't have much to add there. But I'll add a couple of data points, maybe just to help people do some sensitivities as we think longer term about this.

Speaker #2: At Collins, again, you’ve got sort of the three channels: the parts and repair, the provisioning, and the mods and upgrades. And I think where you’ll start to see any potential issue would perhaps be in provisioning and mods and upgrades—provisioning if airlines decide that they want to sort of live with lower stocking levels, and mods and upgrades if the airlines decide they want to maybe defer some of those things.

Speaker #13: On the Pratt business, about half of their segment is aftermarket. And as Chris said, the predominance of that is coming from the GTF, the V2500.

Speaker #13: And I would throw in there Pratt Canada. So if you put those three together, you're over 85% of the aftermarket sales. And Pratt Canada is a very diverse business, lots of customers, 70,000 units in service.

Speaker #2: Now, we just haven't seen any of the impact on the demand yet. But that's kind of how we're thinking about it, and that's kind of how we're tracking it.

Christopher Calio: Now, we just haven't seen any of the impact on the demand yet, but that's kind of how we're thinking about it, and that's kind of how we're tracking it.

Chris Calio: Now, we just haven't seen any of the impact on the demand yet, but that's kind of how we're thinking about it, and that's kind of how we're tracking it.

Speaker #13: So and great strength, really, across a number of their different business channels. So just to provide a little context there. On Collins, aftermarket there is about 40% of the total segment.

Operator: That's great. Thanks very much.

Seth Seifman: That's great. Thanks very much.

Neil Mitchill: Thanks, Chris. I don't have much to add there, but I'll add a couple of data points maybe just to help people do some sensitivities as we think longer term about this. On the Pratt business, about half of their segment is aftermarket. As Chris said, the predominance of that is coming from the GTF, the V2500, and I would throw in there Pratt Canada. If you put those three together, you're over 85% of the aftermarket sales. Pratt Canada is a very diverse business, lots of customers, 70,000 units in service. Great strength, really, across a number of their different business channels. Just to provide a little context there. On Collins, aftermarket there is about 40% of the total segment. The parts and repair makes up about two-thirds of the aftermarket.

Speaker #13: And provisioning makes up I'm sorry, the parts and repair makes up about two-thirds of the aftermarket. So just a little bit of context to help people think about it.

Speaker #13: Again, very diverse business, operating on a lot of what we would call the right platforms, a lot of newer platforms. And keep in mind, out of warranty flight hours, continue to grow.

Speaker #13: When you think about all of the deliveries over the last five years, with the growth that we've seen year over year, we have more and more hours coming out of warranty every single year.

Speaker #13: And so those are the aircraft that we'll continue to fly even in a slightly depressed environment. So as we sit here and look at '26, there's no changes to our by-channel outlooks at this point for commercial.

Speaker #13: Our aftermarket, we're watching it. But I think we're feeling like as we look at our portfolio, pretty good line of sight to the demand.

Neil Mitchill: Just a little bit of context to help people think about it. Again, very diverse business operating on a lot of what we would call the right platforms, a lot of newer platforms. Keep in mind, out-of-warranty flight hours continue to grow. When you think about all of the deliveries over the last five years, with the growth that we've seen year over year, we have more and more hours coming out of warranty every single year. Those are the aircraft that will continue to fly, even in a slightly depressed environment. As we sit here and look at 2026, there's no changes to our by-channel outlooks at this point for commercial OE or aftermarket. We're watching it, but I think we're feeling like, as we look at our portfolio, pretty good line of sight to the demand.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Sheila Kahyaoglu of Jefferies. Please go ahead, Sheila.

Speaker #14: Good morning, everyone. Thank you. I wanted to ask about aerospace profitability, both Collins and Pratt. So first, on Collins, margins were quite healthy despite the tariff impact and OV growth mix.

Speaker #14: How would we think about 2026 guidance, which suggests the rest of the year margins are flat to down slightly versus Q1? Which would sort of bump the seasonal trend.

Speaker #14: But so I guess how do we think about Collins puts and takes on margins? And then on Pratt, Neil, you provided a sensitivity layup for us right here.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Sheila Kahyaoglu of Jefferies. Please go ahead, Sheila.

Speaker #14: So when we think about the V2500, the PW2000, and the 4000, any chance you could give us a breakout of what percentage that consists of and the retirement rates?

Sheila Kahyaoglu: Good morning, guys, and thank you. I wanted to ask about aerospace profitability, both Collins and Pratt. First on Collins, margins were quite healthy despite the tariff impact and OE growth mix. How would we think about 2026 guidance, which suggests the rest of the year margins are flat to down slightly versus Q1, which would sort of buck the seasonal trend. I guess how do we think about Collins' puts and takes on margins? And then on Pratt, Neil, you provided a sensitivity layup for us right here. When we think about the V2500, the PW2000, and the PW4000, any chance you could give us a breakout of what percentage that consists of and the retirement rates that you're assuming?

Speaker #14: That you're assuming?

Speaker #13: Great. Thanks. Let me start with the Collins margins. I think you said it, Sheila. It was a really strong start to the year. Despite our last quarter of having to deal with the year-over-year headwind from tariffs, Collins has done a nice job.

Um, good morning, thank you. I wanted to ask about, um, uh, are profitability both columns and perhaps. So first on Collins margins were quite healthy despite the Tariff impact and a lead growth mix. You know, how would we think about

Speaker #13: They're focused on cost. We're taking on more and more OE. And some of that mix is a headwind, frankly. So with all of that, we continue to see margin expansion.

2026 guidance would suggest, the rest of the year, margins are flat to down slightly versus Q1, which would sort of bump the seasonal trend, but—

Speaker #13: You're right. As you look at the rest of the year, the margins remain relatively steady. I think as we continue to see OE mix trend towards more wide bodies, on the growth side, we'll have a little bit of a headwind there.

So I guess how do we think about colins puts and takes on margins and then on Pratt Neil you provided a sensitivity layup for us right here. So when we think about the B2500, the pw2000 and the 4000

any chance you could give us a breakout of what percentage that compromise uh uh consists of and the retirement rates that you're assuming

Neil Mitchill: Great. Thanks. Let me start with the Collins margins. I think you said it, Sheila, it was a really strong start to the year. Despite our last quarter of having to deal with the year-over-year headwind from tariffs, Collins has done a nice job. They're focused on cost. We're taking on more and more OE, and some of that mix is a headwind, frankly. With all of that, we continue to see margin expansion. You're right, as you look at the rest of the year, the margins remain relatively steady. I think, as we continue to see OE mix trend towards more wide bodies on the growth side, we'll have a little bit of a headwind there. It's a little bit early, as you know, to be adjusting the full year. We just talked about some of the uncertainty in the market.

Speaker #13: It's a little bit early, as you know, to be adjusting the full year. We just talked about some of the uncertainty in the market.

Great, thanks. Let me start with the Collins margins, I think.

Speaker #13: I think we're going to hold off for another quarter to see what second quarter looks like. But we're feeling like the Collins business is certainly on the right trajectory.

Speaker #13: If you get into the Pratt business, what I would say is the PW2000 is really not a major driver of the aftermarket. Obviously, we have a bit of a bigger portfolio on the 4000s.

You said it, Sheila, it was a really strong start to the year. Um, despite, um, you know, our last quarter of having to deal with the year-over-year headwind from tariffs, Collins has done a nice job. They're focused on cost.

Speaker #13: But we've been planning for that. I'll call it structured decline for a number of years. And so that's not changing in our outlook here.

Speaker #13: On the V2500, specifically, we also are well connected with our customers. It's a young fleet, as Chris said. 50% of the fleet hasn't seen its second shop visit.

Neil Mitchill: I think we're going to hold off for another quarter to see what Q2 looks like. We're feeling like the Collins business is certainly on the right trajectory. If you get into the Pratt business, what I would say is, the PW2000s is really not a major driver of the aftermarket. Obviously, we have a bit of a bigger portfolio on the 4000s, but we've been planning for that, I'll call it structured decline, for a number of years. That's not changing in our outlook here. On the V2500s specifically, we also are well connected with our customers. It's a young fleet, as Chris said. 50% of the fleet hasn't seen its second shop visit.

Speaker #13: 15% hasn't even seen its first shop visit. So we expect those airplanes to fly. They're also very durable and perform well. So despite the higher fuel prices, I think that they're great aircraft, powered by the V2500.

Um, we're taking on more and more OE, and some of that mix is a headwind, frankly. Um, so, you know, with all of that, we continue to see margin expansion. You're right, as you look at the rest of the year, um, the margins remain relatively steady, I think. Um, as we continue to see OE mix trend towards more wide bodies, um, on the growth side, you know, we'll have a little bit of a headwind there. Um, it's a little bit early, as you know, to be adjusting the full year. We just talked about some of the uncertainty in the market. I think we're going to hold off for another quarter to see what second quarter looks like. But, you know, we're feeling like the Collins business is certainly on the right trajectory. If you get into the Pratt business, um,

Speaker #13: So as we look out, we're planning call it 1 to 2 percent kind of retirements for the V. The shop visits for the first quarter were on the run rate.

Speaker #13: We expect for the full year, which is about 800. So continuing to see the strength there. Have a lot of visibility into the shop visit pipeline.

You know what I would say is um, the pw2 20000s is really not a major driver of the aftermarket. Obviously we have a, a bit of a bigger portfolio on the 4000, but we've been planning for that. I'll call it structured decline for a number of years. Um, and so that's not, um, changing in our, in our outlook here, on the v2500 specifically, um,

Speaker #13: Keep in mind we're operating in a material-constrained environment. And so there's significant demand for spare parts and overhauls there. So that's what I would say as it relates to Pratt.

Christopher Calio: 15% hasn't even seen its first shop visit. We expect those airplanes to fly. They're also very durable and perform well. Despite the higher fuel prices, I think that they're great aircraft powered by the V2500. As we look out, we're planning, call it 1% to 2% kind of retirements for the V. The shop visits for Q1 were on the run rate we expect for the full year, which is about 800. Continuing to see the strength there. Have a lot of visibility into the shop visit pipeline. Keep in mind we're operating in a material-constrained environment, and so there's significant demand for spare parts and overhauls there. That's what I would say as it relates to Pratt.

Neil Mitchill: 15% hasn't even seen its first shop visit. We expect those airplanes to fly. They're also very durable and perform well. Despite the higher fuel prices, I think that they're great aircraft powered by the V2500. As we look out, we're planning, call it 1% to 2% kind of retirements for the V. The shop visits for Q1 were on the run rate we expect for the full year, which is about 800. Continuing to see the strength there. Have a lot of visibility into the shop visit pipeline. Keep in mind we're operating in a material-constrained environment, and so there's significant demand for spare parts and overhauls there. That's what I would say as it relates to Pratt.

Speaker #14: Great. Thank ank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line. Of Gautam Khanna. Of TD Cohen. Please go ahead, Gautam.

We also are, you know, you know well connected with our customers. It's a young Fleet. As Chris said, 50% of the fleet hasn't seen its second shot. Visit 15% hasn't even seen its first shot. Visit. Um, so we expect those um, airplanes to fly, they're also very durable and perform well, so despite the higher fuel prices, I think that they're, you know, great aircraft powered by the v2500. So

Speaker #15: Yeah. Thanks. Good morning, guys. I was wondering if you could give us some help on how to think about AOGs on the GTF because it's very hard from the outside to track those which were powdered metal impacted and not.

You know, as we look out, um, we're planning, you know, call it 1 to 2% kind of retirements for the V, the shop visits. Um, for the first quarter, we're, you know, on the run rate we expect for the full year, which is about 800. Um, so continuing to see the strength there.

Speaker #15: So just kind of thinking about at year-end, is there some natural number we should be expecting of AOGs that you can point to that would be consistent with your assumptions on MRO output and the charge provision you took a couple of years back?

Visit pipeline, you know, keep in mind we're operating in a material constrained environment, and so, uh, there's significant demand for spare parts and and uh, overhauls there. So that's what I would say uh, as it relates to Pratt.

Sheila Kahyaoglu: Great. Thank you.

Great. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Gautam Khanna of TD Cowen. Please go ahead, Gautam.

Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line.

Speaker #15: Just so we know that we're tracking to the what you've already guided to. Yeah. Thanks. I'll start. And maybe just to address kind of your final point there, the financial and technical outlook for the powder metal situation remains on track.

Of goats on Mana of TD Cohen, please go ahead and go to them.

Gautam Khanna: Yeah, thanks. Good morning, guys. I was wondering if you could give us some help on how to think about AOGs on the GTF, because it's very hard from the outside to track those which were powder metal impacted and not. Just kind of thinking about at year-end, is there some natural number we should be expecting of AOGs that you can point to that would be consistent with your assumptions on MRO output and the charge provision you took a couple years back? Just so we know that we're tracking to what you've already guided to.

Yeah, thanks. Good morning, guys.

I was wondering if you could give us some help on how to think about aogs on the GTS.

Because it's very hard from the outside to track those, which were powdered metal impacted and not.

Speaker #15: And as I said up front, Gautam, we were really pleased that AOGs came down 15% in Q1 from the end of last year. That was on the back of some very solid MRO performance in Q1, the 1100 output was up 23% year over year, as I said.

So just kind of thinking about at year end is there some natural number? We should be expecting of aogs that you can point to that would be consistent with your um

Speaker #15: And that was with heavier shop visits up 9 points year over year. And so that was enabled by heavy shop visit turnaround time improving by about 20%.

Assumptions on, you know, MRO output and, uh, the charge provision you took a couple years back, just so we know that we're tracking to the—

Christopher Calio: Yeah. Thanks. I'll start. Maybe just to address kind of your final point there, like the financial and technical outlook for the powder metal situation remains on track. As I said up front, Gautam, we were really pleased that AOGs came down 15% in Q1 from the end of last year. That was on the back of some very solid MRO performance in Q1. 1100 output was up 23% year over year, as I said, and that was with heavier shop visits up 9 points year over year. That was enabled by heavy shop visit turnaround time improving by about 20%. Very good performance in the shop helping enable the reduction in those AOGs. A couple of other good indicators as well as we think forward.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Thanks. I'll start. Maybe just to address kind of your final point there, like the financial and technical outlook for the powder metal situation remains on track. As I said up front, Gautam, we were really pleased that AOGs came down 15% in Q1 from the end of last year. That was on the back of some very solid MRO performance in Q1. 1100 output was up 23% year over year, as I said, and that was with heavier shop visits up 9 points year over year. That was enabled by heavy shop visit turnaround time improving by about 20%. Very good performance in the shop helping enable the reduction in those AOGs. A couple of other good indicators as well as we think forward.

to what you've already guided to.

Yeah, thanks. I I'll start

Speaker #15: So very, very good performance in the shop helping enable the reduction in those AOGs. A couple of other good indicators. As well as we think forward, 1100 inductions were up 7% sequentially from Q4 to Q1.

Um, it, it, it, maybe, you know, just to address kind of your final point there, like the financial and technical outlook.

Speaker #15: And so we're improving that whip in our shops to support the future growth in MRO output. And we also saw continued progress in material growth across some of the key value streams that are going to be important to MRO output: structural castings were up 10% year over year.

Speaker #15: Isothermal forgings were up 18% year over year. So again, those are all the elements that go into continuing to drive MRO output for the year, which in turn is going to continue to drive that downward trend that we talked about here that we saw in the first quarter.

For the, um, part of the metal situation remains on track. And as I said up front, Adam, we were really pleased that AOGs came down 15% in Q1 from the end of last year. Um, that was on the back of some very solid MRO performance in Q1. The 1,100 output was up 23% year-over-year, as I said, and that was with heavier shop visits up 9 points year-over-year.

And so, that was enabled by heavy shop visit turnaround time, you know, improving by about 20%.

Christopher Calio: 1,100 inductions were up 7% sequentially from Q4 to Q1, and so we're improving that WIP in our shops to support the future growth in MRO output. We also saw continued progress in material growth across some of the key value streams that are going to be important to MRO output. Structural castings were up 10% year-over-year. Isothermal forgings were up 18% year-over-year. Again, those are all the elements that go into continuing to drive MRO output for the year, which in turn is going to continue to drive that downward trend that we talked about here that we saw in Q1.

Chris Calio: 1,100 inductions were up 7% sequentially from Q4 to Q1, and so we're improving that WIP in our shops to support the future growth in MRO output. We also saw continued progress in material growth across some of the key value streams that are going to be important to MRO output. Structural castings were up 10% year-over-year. Isothermal forgings were up 18% year-over-year. Again, those are all the elements that go into continuing to drive MRO output for the year, which in turn is going to continue to drive that downward trend that we talked about here that we saw in Q1.

Speaker #15: I won't give up sort of a point estimate as to where we're supposed to be, but I will just say, as you just look at sort of the public data around AOGs, there are some in there that have absolutely nothing to do with engines.

Speaker #15: There are a number of other factors. Maybe they're going through a mod and upgrade. Maybe they're being returned from east and they need some modifications.

Speaker #15: And so not all of those are engine-related. I'll also tell you that we continue to have removals for other reasons, other than powdered metal.

So very, very good performance in the shop helping enable the reduction in those aogs a couple other of good indicators, you know, as well as we think forward, you know, 1100 inductions, we're up 7% sequentially from Q4 to q1 and so we're improving that whip in our shops to support the future growth and mro output. And we also saw continued progress in material growth across some of the key value streams that are going to be important. Some are output structural castings were up. 10% year-over-year. Isothermal forging were up 18% year-over-year.

Speaker #15: But those are the things that were in existence previously. And we've continued to provide upgrades to improve the durability and reliability. And so we also believe those will continue to have a positive effect as we look forward.

Christopher Calio: I won't give a sort of a point estimate as to where we're supposed to be, but I will just say, as you just look at sort of the public data around AOGs, there are some in there that have absolutely nothing to do with engines. There are a number of other factors. Maybe they're going through a mod, an upgrade, maybe they're being returned from lease and they need some modifications. Not all of those are engine related. I'll also tell you that we continue to have removals for other reasons other than powder metal, but those are the things that were in existence previously, and we've continued to provide upgrades to improve the durability and reliability. We also believe those will continue to have a positive effect as we look forward. Again, pleased with the Q1 performance.

Chris Calio: I won't give a sort of a point estimate as to where we're supposed to be, but I will just say, as you just look at sort of the public data around AOGs, there are some in there that have absolutely nothing to do with engines. There are a number of other factors. Maybe they're going through a mod, an upgrade, maybe they're being returned from lease and they need some modifications. Not all of those are engine related. I'll also tell you that we continue to have removals for other reasons other than powder metal, but those are the things that were in existence previously, and we've continued to provide upgrades to improve the durability and reliability. We also believe those will continue to have a positive effect as we look forward. Again, pleased with the Q1 performance.

Speaker #15: So again, pleased with the Q1 performance. Our customers obviously want their assets back. It was a real positive shift this quarter in terms of the reduction.

Speaker #15: And given all the elements that I just talked about within MRO and those indicators, we continue to believe that that downward trajectory is going to continue.

Speaker #15: Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Scott Mikus of Myles Research. Please go ahead, Scott.

So again, those are all the elements that go into continuing to drive mro output for the year which in turn is going to continue to drive that downward Trend that we talked about here that we saw in the first quarter, I Won't Give Up sort of a point estimate as to where we're supposed to be, but I will just say as you just look at sort of the public data around. Aogs, there are some in there that have absolutely nothing to do with engines. There are a number of other factors, maybe they're going through a mod and upgrade maybe they're, um, being returned, uh, from East and they need some modifications. And so not all of those are are engine related. I'll tell you that, um, you know, we continue to have, um, removals for other reasons other than powdered metal. But those are the things that were, you know, in existence, you know, previously and we've continued to provide upgrades, uh, to improve the durability and reliability.

Speaker #16: Good morning, Chris and Neil. Very good results. SpaceX is going public at a very lofty valuation. And its IPO will probably create generational wealth for a lot of its employees.

Christopher Calio: Our customers obviously want their assets back. It was a real positive shift this quarter in terms of the reduction. Given all the elements that I just talked about within MRO and those indicators, we continue to believe that downward trajectory is going to continue.

Chris Calio: Our customers obviously want their assets back. It was a real positive shift this quarter in terms of the reduction. Given all the elements that I just talked about within MRO and those indicators, we continue to believe that downward trajectory is going to continue.

Speaker #16: We've also seen Shield AI raise capital to $12 billion valuation. Anduril is looking to raise capital at a $60 billion valuation. So just how are you thinking about that in the context of retaining your best employees and engineers?

So we also believe those will continue to have a positive effect as we look forward. So again, please with the the q1 performance, our customers obviously want their assets back. It was it was a real um, you know, positive uh shift, you know, this quarter in terms of the reduction and given all the elements that I just talked about within mro and those indicators. Um, we continue to believe that that downward trajectory is going to continue.

Gautam Khanna: Thank you.

Speaker #16: So they don't join a defense tech company where they get a significant upside from the equity valuation.

Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Scott Mikus of Melius Research. Please go ahead, Scott.

Thank you.

Our next question.

Speaker #15: Yeah. Thanks, Scott. I thought where you were going with there is that we were undervalued. That's what I was hoping the point you were making there.

Scott Mikus: Morning, Chris and Neil. Very good results. Space is just going public at a very lofty valuation, and its IPO will probably create generational wealth for a lot of its employees. We've also seen Shield AI raise capital to a $12 billion valuation. Anduril is looking to raise capital at a $60 billion valuation. Just how are you thinking about that in the context of retaining your best employees and engineers so they don't join a defense tech company where they could have significant upside from the equity valuation?

Comes from the line of Scott. Micas of Milius Research, please go ahead, Scott.

Speaker #15: But I'll kick it aside that one. I got to buy right now.

Speaker #16: Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good. I'll kick it aside. Again, this is something we think about a lot in terms of the defense ramp-up. With unemployment at 4.3%, how do we make sure that we can attract and retain the labor that we need?

Speaker #16: In some cases, it's classified labor, which can be even more difficult because you got to get people cleared. And the like. Many of our facilities.

Morning, Chris and Neil. Very good results. Um, SpaceX is going public at a very lofty valuation, and its IPO will probably create generational wealth for a lot of its employees. We've also seen Shield AI raise capital at a $12 billion valuation and Anduril's looking to raise capital at a $60 billion valuation. So just how are you thinking about that in the context of retaining your best employees and engineers, so they don't join a defense tech company where they get a significant upside from the equity valuation?

Speaker #16: So our labor strategy is something that we are laser-focused on. Now, you mentioned our engineering population. If you look at RTX-wide, we've got roughly 180,000 people.

Christopher Calio: Yeah. Thanks, Scott. I thought where you were going with there is that we were undervalued. That's what I was hoping the point you were making there. All kidding aside.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Thanks, Scott. I thought where you were going with there is that we were undervalued. That's what I was hoping the point you were making there. All kidding aside.

Scott Mikus: I am into that one. I got a buy rating.

Speaker #16: About a third of those are engineers. And they are clearly the lifeblood of the company when you think about innovation being the bedrock of everything that we do.

Christopher Calio: Yeah. Good. All kidding aside, again, this is something we think about a lot in terms of the defense ramp up. With unemployment at 4.3%, how do we make sure that we can attract and retain the labor that we need? In some cases, it's classified labor, which can be even more difficult because you got to get people cleared, and the like, at many of our facilities. Our labor strategy is something that we are laser-focused on. Now, you mentioned our engineering population. If you look at RTX-wide, we've got roughly 180,000 people, about a third of those are engineers, and they are clearly the lifeblood of the company when you think about innovation being the bedrock of everything that we do. I think there's a couple things that come into play there.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Good. All kidding aside, again, this is something we think about a lot in terms of the defense ramp up. With unemployment at 4.3%, how do we make sure that we can attract and retain the labor that we need? In some cases, it's classified labor, which can be even more difficult because you got to get people cleared, and the like, at many of our facilities. Our labor strategy is something that we are laser-focused on. Now, you mentioned our engineering population. If you look at RTX-wide, we've got roughly 180,000 people, about a third of those are engineers, and they are clearly the lifeblood of the company when you think about innovation being the bedrock of everything that we do. I think there's a couple things that come into play there.

Speaker #16: And so I think there's a couple of things that come into play there. Number one, we've got to continue to be competitive just from a compensation perspective.

Um, but I got a buy, right? Yeah, yeah, good, good. Uh, all kidding aside, again, this is something we think about a lot in terms of the defense ramp-up.

Speaker #16: And that's something we're always looking at. And then number two, I will tell you that you walk the floors within RTX. You will see an uncommon dedication to the mission.

Speaker #16: And I think people get really excited about the work that we do and the mission that we play to connect and protect the world.

Speaker #16: In particular, on the national security side, given how critical our products are to national security and to our allies. So it's not easy to your point, Scott.

Speaker #16: There are people that will go take the leap to go somewhere where they see that there might be some runway with an early-stage company.

Christopher Calio: Number one, we've got to continue to be competitive just from a compensation perspective, and that's something we're always looking at. Number two, I will tell you that when you walk the floors within RTX, you will see an uncommon dedication to the mission. I think people get really excited about the work that we do and the mission that we play to connect and protect the world, in particular on the national security side, given how critical our products are to national security and to our allies. It's not easy. To your point, Scott, there are people that will go take a leap to go somewhere where they see that there might be some runway with an early-stage company. By and large, we've been pretty successful at retaining our top folks.

Chris Calio: Number one, we've got to continue to be competitive just from a compensation perspective, and that's something we're always looking at. Number two, I will tell you that when you walk the floors within RTX, you will see an uncommon dedication to the mission. I think people get really excited about the work that we do and the mission that we play to connect and protect the world, in particular on the national security side, given how critical our products are to national security and to our allies.

By and large, we've been pretty successful at retaining our top folks.

Speaker #16: But by and large, we've been pretty successful at retaining our top folks. And again, I think that comes down to the core mission that we serve.

Speaker #16: All right. Thank you.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our next question. Comes from the line of Ken Herbert. Of RBC CM, please go ahead, Ken.

With, you know, unemployment at 4.3%, how do we make sure that we can attract and retain the labor that we need in some cases, it's classified, you know, uh labor, which can be even, you know, more difficult because you got to get people queered, you know, and the like at many of our facilities, so our labor strategy is something that we are a laser focused on. Now, you mentioned our engineering population, if you look at RTX wide, um, we've got a roughly 180,000 people, but a third of those are engineers and they are clearly the lifeblood of the company when you think about Innovation being the Bedrock of everything that we do. And so I think there's a couple things that come into play. Are there number 1, we got to continue to be competitive just from a from a, a compensation perspective and that's something we're always looking at. And then number 2 I will tell you that you you know walk the floors within RTX um you will see an uncommon dedication to the mission.

Speaker #17: Yeah. Hey, good morning. Chris and Neil. I just wanted to follow up on the large commercial engine deliveries. With the first quarter in line with plan and obviously still the mid to high single for the full-year growth, how do we think about the cadence into the second quarter and second half of the year?

Speaker #17: And I guess within that, as a result of just supply chain incremental risk from higher input costs and everything else, are you seeing any incremental risk on your, I guess, Pratt supply chain from suppliers around the world just as a result of the war in Iran?

Christopher Calio: Again, I think that comes down to the core mission that we serve.

Chris Calio: Again, I think that comes down to the core mission that we serve.

Mariana Perez Mora: All right. Thank you.

And I think people get really excited about, you know, the work that we do and the mission that we play to connect and protect you know the world in particular on the National Security side given how critical our products are the National Security and to our allies. So it's not easy to your point Scott. There are people that will go, you know, take the the a leap to go somewhere where they see that there might be some you know Runway with an early stage company. But by and large we've been pretty successful at retaining our top folks. And again I think that comes down to the core mission that we serve

All right. Thank you.

Operator: Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Ken Herbert of RBC CM. Please go ahead, Ken.

Thank you.

Our next question.

Comes from the line of Ken Herbert of RBC Capital Markets. Please go ahead, Ken.

Speaker #17: Thank you.

Kenneth Herbert: Yeah. Hey, good morning, Chris and Neil. Just wanted to follow up on the large commercial engine deliveries. With Q1 in line with plan, and obviously still the mid- to high-single for the full year growth, how do we think about the cadence into Q2 and H2 of the year? I guess within that, as a result of just supply chain incremental risk from higher input costs and everything else, are you seeing any incremental risk on your, I guess, Pratt & Whitney supply chain from suppliers around the world, just as a result of the war in Iran? Thank you.

Ken Herbert: Yeah. Hey, good morning, Chris and Neil. Just wanted to follow up on the large commercial engine deliveries. With Q1 in line with plan, and obviously still the mid- to high-single for the full year growth, how do we think about the cadence into Q2 and H2 of the year? I guess within that, as a result of just supply chain incremental risk from higher input costs and everything else, are you seeing any incremental risk on your, I guess, Pratt & Whitney supply chain from suppliers around the world, just as a result of the war in Iran? Thank you.

Speaker #18: Well, thanks, Ken. Good morning. Let me start with the supply chain piece. Right now, as you know, we've been talking about this for a long time.

Speaker #18: Pratt has been laser-focused on ramping up critical supply chain elements, structural castings, turbine airfoils, and many other parts that go into the engine. And I think we've done a nice job there.

Speaker #18: So continue to see growth in those key elements, materials that go into the engine. And so we're not seeing anything new crop up. Obviously, with the kind of growth rates we're talking about, because you got to keep in mind we're not only feeding the OEM growth rates, we're feeding the aftermarket as well.

Christopher Calio: Well, thanks, Ken. Good morning. Let me start with the supply chain piece. Right now, as you know, we've been talking about this for a long time. Pratt & Whitney has been laser-focused on ramping up critical supply chain elements, structural castings, turbine airfoils, and many other parts that go into the engine. I think we've done a nice job there. Continue to see growth in those key elements, materials that go into the engine. We're not seeing anything new crop up, obviously, with the kind of growth rates we're talking about, because you got to keep in mind, we're not only feeding the OEM growth rates, we're feeding the aftermarket as well. It's pretty substantial, but nothing new to report there. As it relates to the delivery profile, as planned, we were allocating materials between MRO and original equipment in Q1.

Chris Calio: Well, thanks, Ken. Good morning. Let me start with the supply chain piece. Right now, as you know, we've been talking about this for a long time. Pratt & Whitney has been laser-focused on ramping up critical supply chain elements, structural castings, turbine airfoils, and many other parts that go into the engine. I think we've done a nice job there. Continue to see growth in those key elements, materials that go into the engine. We're not seeing anything new crop up, obviously, with the kind of growth rates we're talking about, because you got to keep in mind, we're not only feeding the OEM growth rates, we're feeding the aftermarket as well. It's pretty substantial, but nothing new to report there. As it relates to the delivery profile, as planned, we were allocating materials between MRO and original equipment in Q1.

Yeah, good morning. Uh Chris and Neil. Um just wanted to follow up on the large commercial engine deliveries um with the first quarter, you know in line with plan and obviously still the mid to high single for the full year growth, how do we think about the Cadence into the second quarter and second half of the year? And I guess within that as a result of just supply chain incremental risk from higher input costs and and everything else. Are you seeing any incremental risk on your I guess Pratt supply chain from suppliers around the world. Um just as a result of of the war in Iran. Thank you.

Speaker #18: It's pretty substantial. But nothing new to report there. As it relates to the delivery profile, as planned, we were allocating materials between MRO and original equipment in the first quarter.

Well, thanks, Ken. Good morning. Um, you know, let me start with the supply chain piece right now.

Speaker #18: You saw that in the sales number and in the delivery numbers for the quarter. And as you look at the implied performance for Pratt through the rest of the year, we still expect OE to be low single-digit sales.

Speaker #18: And as you said, up mid to high single-digit unit delivery. So we'll continue to grow the number of new engines we deliver this year.

Speaker #18: And that'll kind of happen pretty radically as we think about the rest of the year. Now, keep in mind we have the strike last year in the second quarter.

Speaker #18: And so this year, second quarter, we'll have an easier compare but as we think about it, the negative engine margin will ramp up over the next several quarters as we kind of balance the mix of material between MRO and OE and drive the OE, the AOGs down, and then continue to deliver to our end customer Airbus.

Christopher Calio: You saw that in the sales number and in the delivery numbers for the quarter. As you look at the implied performance for Pratt through the rest of the year, we still expect OE to be low single-digit sales. As you said, up mid to high single digit unit delivery. We'll continue to grow the number of new engines we deliver this year, and that'll kind of happen pretty ratably as we think about the rest of the year. Now, keep in mind, we had the strike last year in Q2, and so this year's Q2 will have an easier compare.

Chris Calio: You saw that in the sales number and in the delivery numbers for the quarter. As you look at the implied performance for Pratt through the rest of the year, we still expect OE to be low single-digit sales. As you said, up mid to high single digit unit delivery. We'll continue to grow the number of new engines we deliver this year, and that'll kind of happen pretty ratably as we think about the rest of the year. Now, keep in mind, we had the strike last year in Q2, and so this year's Q2 will have an easier compare.

You know, as you, you know, we've been talking about this for a long time. Pratt has been laser focused on ramping up critical supply chain elements. Structural castings turbine air foils and many other parts that go into the engine and I think we've done a nice job there, so continue to see growth in those uh key. Um, elements materials that go into the engine and so we're not seeing anything new crop up obviously, um, you know, with the kind of growth rates we're talking about because you got to keep in mind, we're, we're not only feeding, the OEM growth rates, we're feeding the aftermarket as well. It's pretty substantial, but nothing new to to report there as it relates to the delivery profile, you know, a as planned. You know we were allocating materials between mro and original equipment in the first quarter. You saw that um in the sales number and in the delivery number for uh for the quarter. And and as you look at the implied performance for Pratt, through the rest of the year, we still expect Oe.

Speaker #2: Thank you. Our last question. Comes from the line of David Strauss. Of Wells Fargo. Please go ahead, David.

To be low single-digit sales and, as you said, up mid to high single-digit unit delivery. So we'll continue to grow the number of new engines we deliver this year, and that'll kind of happen pretty radically as we think about the rest of the year. Now, keep in mind, we have the strike.

Speaker #19: Following up there on Ken's question, maybe could you specifically address the state of negotiations with Airbus and what they're desiring to get in terms of engines from you?

Christopher Calio: As we think about it, the negative engine margin will ramp up over the next several quarters as we kind of balance the mix of material between MRO and OE and drive the OE, the AOGs down, and then continue to deliver to our end customer, Airbus.

Chris Calio: As we think about it, the negative engine margin will ramp up over the next several quarters as we kind of balance the mix of material between MRO and OE and drive the OE, the AOGs down, and then continue to deliver to our end customer, Airbus.

Speaker #19: And then secondly, if you could maybe just talk about the interior side of the business with Collins, where that is now in terms of being able to handle the what looks like a coming wide-body ramp.

Last year in the second quarter. And so this year second quarter will have an easier compared. Um, but you know, as we think about it, the the negative engine margin will ramp up over the next several quarters as we kind of balance the mix of of material between mro and OE and drive the OE uh the aogs down and then continue to, you know, deliver to our end. Customer Airbus

Operator: Thank you. Our last question comes from the line of David Strauss of Wells Fargo. Please go ahead, David.

Thank you.

Our last question.

Speaker #19: Thanks.

Speaker #20: Yeah. Thanks, David. On your first question, as Neil said, we're going to continue to see OE deliveries step up throughout the year. And when we get to the end and execute on that plan, it's going to be a record number of GTF engines that we've delivered.

Comes from the line of David stros. Well, as far as go,

please go ahead. David.

David Strauss: Following up there on Ken's question, maybe could you specifically address the state of negotiations with Airbus and what they're desiring to get in terms of engines from you? Secondly, if you could maybe just talk about the interior side of the business with Collins, where that is now in terms of being able to handle what looks like a coming widebody ramp? Thanks.

Speaker #20: And that delivery share is going to remain above the program share. So continue to be pleased about that. In terms of the discussions, with Airbus, those are always ongoing.

Speaker #20: And we're always talking with them about what's going on industrially, what's going on from a supply chain perspective, and balancing, of course, the needs of the GTF fleet health and our mutual customers.

The state of negotiations with with Airbus and you know, what they're Desiring to get in terms of engines from from you and then, uh, uh, secondly, if you could maybe just talk about the interior side of the business and Collins where that is now in terms of being able to handle the, uh, you know, what looks like a coming widebody ramp thanks.

Christopher Calio: Yeah. Thanks, David. On your first question, as Neil said, we're going to continue to see OE deliveries step up throughout the year. When we get to the end and execute on that plan, it's going to be a record number of GTF engines that we've delivered, and that delivery share is going to remain above the program share. Continue to be pleased about that. In terms of the discussions with Airbus, those are always ongoing, and we're always talking with them about what's going on industrially, what's going on from a supply chain perspective, and balancing, of course, the needs of the GTF fleet health and our mutual customers. Those conversations will continue to go on. I will tell you that our focus is on making sure that we are investing for the growth we see both on the OE and the MRO side.

Chris Calio: Yeah. Thanks, David. On your first question, as Neil said, we're going to continue to see OE deliveries step up throughout the year. When we get to the end and execute on that plan, it's going to be a record number of GTF engines that we've delivered, and that delivery share is going to remain above the program share.

Those conversations will continue to go on. I will tell you that our focus is on making sure that we are investing for the growth we see both on the OE and the MRO side.

Yeah, thanks. David.

um,

Speaker #20: And so those conversations will continue to go on. I will tell you that our focus is on making sure that we are investing for the growth we see both on the OE and the MRO side.

Speaker #20: On the MRO side, you heard us talk about some of those investments that we've made in Singapore that we're going to then translate into other parts of our network.

Speaker #20: We're going to be adding a forging press in our Columbus, Georgia facility. We're going to be adding a new tower for powder production at our HMI facility in New York.

Speaker #20: You heard Neil talk about the turbine airfoil ramp up at Asheville. These are all investments that we're making because we continue to see the demand both on the OE and MRO side.

Speaker #20: And again, the relationship with Airbus is an important one for us. It's one that we, of course, greatly value. And it's one that has spanned decades.

Speaker #20: And it will continue to span decades. And we will continue to work through our issues as we always do in a constructive and transparent manner.

Christopher Calio: On the MRO side, you heard us talk about some of those investments that we've made in Singapore that we're going to then translate into other parts of our network. We're going to be adding a forging press in our Columbus, Georgia facility. We're going to be adding a new tower for powder production at our HMI facility in Clayville, New York. You heard Neil talk about the turbine airfoil ramp up at Asheville. These are all investments that we're making because we continue to see the demand both on the OE and MRO side. Again, the relationship with Airbus is an important one for us. It's one that we, of course, greatly value, and it's one that has spanned decades, and it will continue to span decades. We will continue to work through our issues as we always do in a constructive and transparent manner.

We will continue to work through our issues as we always do in a constructive and transparent manner.

On your first question. Um, as Neil said we're going to continue to see OE delivery Step Up throughout the year and when we when we get to the end and execute on that plan, it it's going to be a record number of gtf engines that we've delivered and that delivery share is going to remain above the program share. So um, you know, continue to be, you know, pleased about that in terms of the discussions um, with everybody. But those are always ongoing and we're always talking with them, about you know, what's going on, industrially? What's going on from a supply chain perspective? And balancing, of course, the needs of the gtf fleet health and our mutual customers. And so those conversations will will continue to go on. Uh, I will tell you that our focus is on making sure that we are investing for the growth, we see both on the OE and the mro side on the mro side. You heard us talk about some of those Investments that we've made in Singapore that we're going to then translate into other parts.

Speaker #20: And I have no doubt we'll ultimately get there to where we need to be on volumes going forward.

Speaker #18: And maybe just to comment on interiors, had a good quarter. Sales were up double digits. So call it low teens, if you will, in the first quarter.

Speaker #18: We're continuing to work through a couple of certification requirements on a handful of bespoke programs. But business has a good trajectory. We're expecting solid growth for the full year.

Speaker #18: And pretty good line of sight to mods and upgrades for the remainder of the year. So feeling good about that today. Thank you for the question.

Christopher Calio: I have no doubt that we'll ultimately get there to where we need to be on volumes going forward.

Chris Calio: I have no doubt that we'll ultimately get there to where we need to be on volumes going forward.

Speaker #2: Thank you. With that, I will now turn the call back over to Nathan Ware.

Neil Mitchill: Maybe just to comment on interiors. Had a good quarter. Sales were up double digits, so call it low teens, if you will, in the Q1. We're continuing to work through a couple certification requirements on a handful of bespoke programs, but business has a good trajectory. We're expecting solid growth for the full year, and pretty good line of sight to mods and upgrades for the remainder of the year. So feeling good about that today. Thank you for the question.

Parts of our network. Um, we're going to be adding a forging press in our Columbus, Georgia facility. We're going to be adding a new tower for powder production at our HMI facility in New York. You heard Neil talk about the turbine airfoil ramp-up at Asheville. These are all investments that we're making, um, because we continue to see the demand both on the OE and MRO side. And again, the relationship with Airbus is an important one for us. It's one we, of course, greatly value and it's one that has spanned decades, and it will continue to span decades. And, you know, we will continue to work through our issues as we always do in a constructive and transparent manner. And, you know, I have no doubt that we'll ultimately get there to where we need to be on, you know, volumes going forward.
