MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Oct. 20, 2017 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced
financial results for the third quarter of 2017.
"Honeywell delivered another quarter of high-quality financial results, with
organic growth of five percent, segment margin expansion of 120 basis points,
and earnings per share of $1.75, up 16 percent2 year-over-year," said Darius
Adamczyk, President and Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell. "This was a
standout quarter for us when it comes to organic growth. Our Aerospace
aftermarket business grew more than seven percent, our warehouse automation
business continued to grow at a double-digit pace, and there was broad strength
across Performance Materials and Technologies, led by 25 percent organic sales
growth in UOP. We also saw good momentum in orders and backlog, with
double-digit backlog growth in UOP, Intelligrated, Defense, and Honeywell
Building Solutions, positioning us for future growth.
"The investments we have made in people, capital expenditures, research and
development, and M&A are delivering outstanding growth for our shareowners,"
Adamczyk said. "Also, we continue to improve the cost structure of our
businesses through ongoing restructuring actions, and in the third quarter, we
dedicated approximately $120 million to new projects.
"Last week, we announced our intention to spin our Homes and Global
Distribution business and our Transportation Systems business into two
independent public companies by the end of next year. The spun businesses will
benefit from being able to make independent investment decisions that will
better position them for growth and value creation for decades to come. After
completion of the spins, Honeywell will have a more focused and growth-oriented
portfolio that benefits from cross-Honeywell synergies. These actions will
position the company to deliver sustained financial outperformance," Adamczyk
continued. "Honeywell is well positioned in both the short and long term, and
we anticipate a strong finish to 2017."
Honeywell also reaffirmed its full-year earnings-per-share guidance of $7.05 to
$7.10, up nine to 10 percent year-over-year, excluding divestitures, any
pension mark-to-market adjustments, and 2016 debt refinancing charges. Earlier
this month, the company raised the low end of the range by five cents.
Honeywell will discuss the results during its investor conference call today
starting at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Third Quarter Performance
Honeywell sales for the third quarter were up five percent on an organic basis
and up three percent on a reported basis. The difference between reported and
organic sales relates to the 2016 spin-off of the former Resins and Chemicals
business in Performance Materials and Technologies and the 2016 divestiture of
the Aerospace government services business, partially offset by the acquisition
of Intelligrated in Safety and Productivity Solutions and the impact of foreign
currency translation. The third-quarter financial results can be found in
Tables 1 and 2, below.
Aerospace sales for the third quarter were up four percent on an organic basis
driven by growth in Commercial Aftermarket and lower year-over-year customer
incentives, strength in U.S. defense, and continued recovery in commercial
vehicles in Transportation Systems. Segment margin expanded 290 bps to 21.3
percent, primarily driven by the lower customer incentives, productivity net of
inflation, and the favorable impact of the 2016 divestiture of the government
services.
Home and Building Technologies sales for the third quarter were up two percent
on an organic basis driven by Smart Energy program roll-outs, air and water
product sales in China, and continued growth in the Distribution business.
Segment margin expanded 10 bps to 16.4 percent, driven by restructuring
benefits, productivity net of inflation, and commercial excellence, partially
offset by the unfavorable impact of higher sales from lower margin products and
investments for growth, including research and development.
Performance Materials and Technologies sales for the third quarter were up 10
percent on an organic basis driven by strong growth in every business,
including 25 percent growth in UOP driven by robust catalyst, licensing,
equipment, and gas processing volumes; continued demand for Solstice®
low-global-warming products in Advanced Materials; and short-cycle demand
within Honeywell Process Solutions. Segment margin expanded 170 bps to 23.3
percent, primarily driven by commercial excellence, productivity net of
inflation, and the favorable impact from the spin-off of the former Resins and
Chemicals business.
Safety and Productivity Solutions sales for the third quarter were up 3 percent
on an organic basis driven by increased demand for industrial safety products,
voice-enabled workflow solutions and Movilizer software, and double-digit
organic sales growth at Intelligrated, a leading provider of warehouse
automation solutions, which Honeywell acquired in 2016. Segment margin expanded
40 bps to 15.1 percent, primarily driven by productivity net of inflation,
partially offset by acquisition amortization and integration costs. Excluding
the impact of acquisitions, segment margin expanded 190 bps.

(1) Earnings per share attributable to 2016 divestitures utilizes weighted
average shares of 774.4 million and a
blended tax rate of 32.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
(2) The Company has and continues to have an ongoing level of restructuring
activities, for which there is a
planned amount of restructuring-related charges. For the three months ended
September 30, 2017, the Company
funded approximately $60 million of additional restructuring enabled by a
lower than expected effective tax rate for
the period. We believe that the exclusion of this additional restructuring
provides a more comparable measure of
year-on-year results. Earnings per share attributable to additional
restructuring uses a tax rate of 26% for three
months ended September 30, 2017.
We believe earnings per share adjusted to normalize for the expected effective
tax rate of 26% for the most
recently completed fiscal quarter (as presented in prior guidance for such
quarter) and to exclude the 2016
divestitures is a measure that is useful to investors and management in
understanding our ongoing operations and
in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

(1) Utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 772 million and an
expected effective tax rate of approximately 22%.
(2) Utilizes weighted average shares of 775.3 million. Pension mark-to-market
expense uses a blended tax rate of 21.3%. Debt refinancing
expense uses a tax rate of 26.5%. Earnings attributable to 2016 divestitures
use a blended tax rate of 33.9%.
We believe EPS, excluding pension mark-to-market expense, debt refinancing
expense and earnings attributable to 2016 divestitures is a
measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our
ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
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 in this reconciliation.
Management is not currently forecasting an impact to earnings per
hare arising from a debt refinancing or divestiture transaction. Based on
economic and industry conditions, future developments and other
relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change.
