Recent Investor Engagement
We kicked off a busy conference season by attending the Jefferies Industrials Conference in New York City. At the event Reena Vaidya, Director of Investor Relations, and I had the opportunity to connect with many of you and discuss our optimism on our 2024 outlook. We fielded questions on how Honeywell is navigating near-term macroeconomic uncertainty, our views on the multi-year trajectory for our aerospace and energy end markets, and our portfolio strategy. We reiterated that the forward-looking set-up for our end markets remains favorable and we are committed to delivering on our short- and long-term financial commitments.

The following day, we attended the Vertical Research Global Industrials Conference, where PMT CEO Lucian Boldea reiterated HON’s unique position to both help the world meet today’s energy needs while also enabling the energy transition. Lucian emphasized PMT’s comprehensive portfolio of sustainability solutions, leadership in digitalization, and margin accretive growth through both our core business and new products.

Vimal Kapur, CEO of Honeywell, also attended several investor engagements during his first full quarter as Chief Executive. In mid-September, Vimal headed to the West Coast to present at the Morgan Stanley Laguna Conference (webcast replay here). During the fireside chat, Vimal clearly laid out his priorities for Honeywell, which are:

1. Simplify the Honeywell portfolio to align with three megatrends: Aviation, Automation, and Sustainability (with an emphasis on Energy Transition), all underpinned by our leading digitalization efforts
2. Grow the top line with new products as the engine of organic growth, utilizing our new innovation playbook and focusing on commercial excellence
3. Manage the portfolio by enhancing our M&A capability; stay disciplined and execute bolt-on deals that align to the three megatrends
4. Enhance Accelerator, version 3.0 of Honeywell’s operating system, which provides a foundation for profitable growth for our existing businesses and future acquisitions

The next week, Vimal took his message overseas where he and Honeywell CFO Greg Lewis participated in the J.P. Morgan U.S. All Stars Conference in London. We appreciated the thematic and strategic discussions throughout the day, including conversations about our growth strategy at Honeywell Connected Enterprise, which we expect to drive $750M+ of Honeywell’s incremental growth (spanning our segments) over the next three years.

Recent Honeywell News
Earlier this week we announced a strategic collaboration with ESS Tech, Inc. (GWH) to advance the development and adoption of iron flow battery (IFB) energy storage systems, combining our advanced materials and energy expertise with ESS’ patented IFB technology. Honeywell will make an investment in ESS as part of this collaboration, which helps accelerate the transition to clean energy while reducing reliance on limited minerals like lithium, cobalt, or vanadium. The global energy storage market, currently estimated at $50 billion per year, is expected to grow significantly, with a cumulative investment of up to $3 trillion by 2040, according to the LDES Council and McKinsey & Co.

The ESS partnership the latest in a series of technology-focused partnerships and acquisitions Honeywell has made over the past few months. See the August 2023 Edition of Investor Relations Insights for more details on these prior deals. Bolt-on M&A remains our preferred method of incremental capital deployment, and we expect to be more active in M&A markets over the next 12 months as we progress toward the commitment we made at our 2023 Investor Day to deploy $25B+ of capital from 2023 - 2025.

At the start of August, we announced that Anant Maheswari has been named President and CEO of Honeywell’s High Growth Region portfolio. Anant joins Honeywell from Microsoft, where he served as President of Microsoft India. Prior to joining Microsoft, Anant worked at Honeywell for over a decade, holding leadership roles of increasing responsibility including President of Honeywell India, where he was a key driver in our HGR strategy. Honeywell has a long-standing presence in HGRs, and we continue to serve these critical markets with our local-for-local R&D and supply chain strategy. HGRs make up over 20% of Honeywell’s sales, and we expect HGRs to grow double-digits over the long term.

2023 Honeywell ESG Report Highlights
Honeywell is a long-standing industry leader in ESG, and just last week we released our 2023 ESG Report. This comprehensive report outlines Honeywell’s commitments, progress, and disclosures related to a wide variety of environmental, social, and governance matters.

We are committed to continuous evaluation and evolution of our ESG strategy, including identifying the ESG areas that are most important to our business. In 2023, we used a third party to conduct a comprehensive ESG Priorities Assessment. Through internal and external surveys, interviews, and comprehensive research, we analyzed the ESG topics considered most relevant to Honeywell’s business by regulators, investors, customers, employees, and other key stakeholders. In addition, our annual Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process specifically includes ESG topics, and input from this process was considered in identifying priority ESG areas. Through these efforts, we have identified the following priority topics that will continue to inform our ESG strategy:
