Where can I find the actual Q4 2021 financial results for RTX?

The detailed financial results for RTX's fourth quarter and full year 2021 are located in the press release furnished as Exhibit 99 to this 8-K filing. Investors should refer to that press release for specific figures on revenue, earnings, and other performance metrics.

What is the significance of the press release being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?

When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02 of an 8-K, it means the company is providing it to the SEC for public consumption but it is not automatically considered part of a formal SEC filing for liability purposes under Section 18 of the Exchange Act. It also means it won't be automatically incorporated into future filings unless the company explicitly references it.

Does this 8-K filing provide any forward-looking guidance or outlook from RTX?

This 8-K filing itself does not contain forward-looking guidance. Any outlook or projections for future performance would be included in the press release that is furnished as part of this filing. Investors should consult the press release for any forward-looking statements.

What specific financial metrics should I look for in the press release?

Investors should examine key metrics such as total revenue, earnings per share (EPS), segment-specific performance (e.g., Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Missiles & Defense, Raytheon Intelligence & Space), profit margins, cash flow, and any updated guidance for the upcoming fiscal year 2022.
