RTX Corp 8-K Report, Regulation FD Disclosure (Jun 20, 2023)

Filed June 20, 2023For Securities:RTX

Summary

Raytheon Technologies Corporation (RTX) filed an 8-K on June 19, 2023, primarily to disclose information presented at their Investor Day held on June 18-19, 2023. The key takeaway for investors is the company's upcoming business realignment, where it will transition from four reporting segments (Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, and Raytheon Missiles & Defense) to three principal business segments: Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, and Raytheon. This change, effective July 1, 2023, will necessitate a revision in segment reporting, with comparative results under the new structure expected starting with the Q3 2023 Form 10-Q filing. The filing also emphasizes RTX's commitment to providing investors with detailed insights into its long-term growth strategy, financial outlook, and capital deployment priorities. While the 8-K itself does not contain new financial performance data, it references exhibits containing supplemental historical segment information under the new structure, which are presented on a non-GAAP basis. RTX clarifies its use of various non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted EPS, and free cash flow, explaining their definitions and utility for investors, while reminding them to refer to GAAP measures as well.
