Honeywell Delivers Strong Earnings With 370 Basis Points Of Operating Margin Expansion And 180 Basis Points Of Segment Margin Expansion; Raises 2019 Full-Year Earnings And Margin Guidance(1)

October 17, 2019

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced its financial results for the third quarter of 2019 and raised its full-year segment margin and adjusted earnings per share financial guidance¹, narrowed its sales guidance and reaffirmed its cash flow guidance.

"We continue to deliver strong results and returns for our shareowners, even with the ongoing uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment," said Darius Adamczyk, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. "We delivered adjusted earnings per share² of $2.08, up 9%, excluding the impact of the spin-offs², which was above the high end of our third-quarter guidance range. Organic sales growth of 3% was driven by strength across Aerospace, continued demand for commercial fire products in Building Technologies, and broad-based growth in Process Solutions. In addition, Honeywell Connected Enterprise drove double-digit connected software growth, continuing our transformation into a premier software industrial company. Our productivity rigor and the favorable impact of the 2018 spin-offs also contributed to our strong results and expanded segment margin, which was up 180 basis points to 21.2% in the quarter."

"We remain on track to meet our cash flow commitments for the year, and we continued to execute on our capital deployment strategy in the third quarter. We repurchased $1.0 billion in Honeywell shares, bringing total repurchases in the first nine months of 2019 to $3.7 billion. We also acquired TruTrak Flight Systems, made three strategic investments within Honeywell Ventures, and announced a 10% dividend increase, the tenth consecutive double-digit dividend increase. Additionally, during the quarter, we issued $2.7 billion of senior notes to refinance October debt maturities at attractive rates, further strengthening our balance sheet," said Adamczyk.

"Overall, we had a strong third quarter, which was a continuation of very strong performance year-to-date. We are well positioned in attractive end markets with multiple levers for value creation heading into 2020. We remain committed to delivering outstanding returns for our customers, shareowners, and employees over the long-term," concluded Adamczyk.

As a result of the company's performance in the first three quarters and management's outlook for the remainder of the year, Honeywell updated its full-year financial guidance¹. Organic sales growth is now expected to be in the range of 4% to 5%; segment margin¹ is now expected to be 20.9% to 21.0%, up 20 basis points from the low end of the prior guidance range; and adjusted earnings per share¹ is now expected to be $8.10 to $8.15, up fifteen cents from the low end of the prior guidance range.

A summary of the company's full-year guidance changes can be found in Table 1.

Third-Quarter Performance

Honeywell sales for the third quarter were down 16% on a reported basis and up 3% on an organic basis. The difference between reported and organic sales primarily relates to the spin-offs of the Transportation Systems business (formerly in Aerospace) and the Homes and ADI Global Distribution business (formerly in Honeywell Building Technologies) as well as the impact of foreign currency translation. The third-quarter financial results can be found in Tables 2 and 3.

Aerospace sales for the third quarter were up 10% on an organic basis driven by continued double-digit growth in the Defense and Space business, strength in the commercial aftermarket, and original equipment demand across air transport and business aviation. Segment margin expanded 350 basis points to 25.6%, primarily driven by commercial excellence, productivity, net of inflation, and the favorable impact from the spin-off of the Transportation Systems business in 2018.

Honeywell Building Technologies sales for the third quarter were up 3% on an organic basis driven by continued demand for commercial fire and building management products, and building projects across the Americas. Segment margin expanded 390 basis points to 21.0% driven by the favorable impact from the spin-off of the Homes and ADI Global Distribution business in 2018.

Performance Materials and Technologies sales for the third quarter were up 3% on an organic basis driven by robust demand for services, gas products, and automation projects in Process Solutions, double-digit software growth driven by demand for Honeywell Forge for Industrial, and strength in licensing and refining catalysts in UOP. This was partially offset by lower gas processing sales in UOP and declines in Advanced Materials, which was impacted by continued illegal imports of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) into Europe. Segment margin expanded 60 basis points to 21.8%, primarily driven by productivity, net of inflation, and commercial excellence.

Safety and Productivity Solutions sales for the third quarter were down 8% on an organic basis driven by distributor destocking that resulted in lower sales volumes in productivity products and the impact of major systems project timing in Intelligrated, which more than offset continued demand for gas sensing and detection products. Segment margin contracted 320 basis points to 13.4%, primarily driven by lower sales volumes in productivity products and higher sales of lower margin products.

We define organic sales percent as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic sales percent change has not been provided for forward-looking measures of organic sales percent change because management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the fluctuations in global currency markets that impact foreign currency translation, nor is it reasonable for management to predict the timing, occurrence and impact of acquisition and divestiture transactions, all of which could significantly impact our reported sales percent change.

(1)	For the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 726.7 million and 752.0 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 753.0 million.
(2)	Pension mark-to-market expense uses a blended tax rate of 24% for 2018.
(3)	For the three months ended September 30, 2018, separation costs of $248 million ($233 million net of tax) includes $132 million of tax costs we incurred in the restructuring of the ownership of various legal entities in anticipation of the spin-off transactions ("frictional tax costs") and $116 million ($101 million net of tax) of other separation costs. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, separation costs of $732 million including net tax impacts.

We believe adjusted earnings per share, excluding spin-off impact, is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. For forward looking information, management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. We therefore do not include an estimate for the pension mark-to-market expense. Based on economic and industry conditions, future developments and other relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change.

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

(3)	Included in Cost of products and services sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses and Other income/expense.
(4)	Included in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses.

We define segment profit as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, and repositioning and other charges. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

A quantitative reconciliation of segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, to operating income margin has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit margin included herewithin, however, operating income margin is expected to be up 230 to 240 bps in 2019 full year, with the differences between segment profit margin and operating income margin driven by expected full year stock compensation expense, repositioning and other, and pension and other postretirement service costs. For forward looking information, a reconciliation of segment profit margin to operating income margin is not provided as management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the apportionment of the amount attributable to the reconciling items between segment profit margin and operating income margin due to the uncertainty of each respective item.

Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)

Cash provided by operating activities	~$6.2 - $6.5
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment	~(0.8)
Free cash flow	~5.4 - 5.7
Separation cost payments	~0.3
Adjusted free cash flow	~$5.7 - $6.0

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity. For forward looking information, we do not provide cash flow conversion guidance on a GAAP basis as management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets.
