Insights

Financial Analyst

The acquisition of Carrier's Global Access Solutions business for $4.95 billion is a significant move for Honeywell, strategically aligning the company with the growing automation and digitalization megatrends. This acquisition should be earnings per share accretive in the first full year, which is a positive signal for investors looking for short-term returns on this investment.

Honeywell's updated 2024 outlook includes a revised full-year sales estimate of $38.5 billion to $39.3 billion, with organic sales growth projected between 4% to 6%. These numbers suggest a promising growth trajectory, especially with the inclusion of differentiated software capabilities and a recurring revenue stream from the newly acquired brands.

The decision to exclude amortization expenses and other acquisition-related costs from adjusted earnings metrics aims to provide more clarity and comparability for investors. This approach can lead to a clearer understanding of core operational performance, although it is essential to remain cautious of such adjustments, as they can sometimes obscure underlying economic realities.

Market Research Analyst

Honeywell's acquisition strengthens its position in the building automation market by adding well-regarded brands like LenelS2, Onity and Supra to its portfolio. This move enhances Honeywell's offerings in commercial and enterprise access solutions, hospitality access and mobile credentials and cloud-based electronic lockboxes, reflecting a strategic push towards cloud-based services and solutions.

The potential growth in the building automation segment, supported by the acquisition, aligns with the broader industry trend towards smart buildings and intelligent infrastructure. These segments are anticipated to see robust growth as businesses increasingly prioritize security and digital automation.

The forecasted annual sales exceeding $1 billion from the combined security portfolio signify substantial revenue potential. However, investors should monitor the integration process closely, as successful integration is important for realizing these synergies and achieving the projected growth and margin expansion.

Tech Expert

The incorporation of advanced software capabilities through this acquisition is a notable advantage for Honeywell. By integrating LenelS2, Onity and Supra, Honeywell positions itself at the forefront of the security solutions industry. These brands offer technologies such as electronic locks, mobile credentials and cloud-based solutions, which are increasingly in demand as the industry shifts towards more connected and secure environments.

The emphasis on digitalization indicates that Honeywell is not just expanding its product lineup but also enhancing its technological prowess. This positions the company well to leverage the growing interest in IoT (Internet of Things) and smart building technologies, potentially leading to new innovations and improved customer outcomes.

For investors, this technological integration could signify long-term growth prospects, as Honeywell continues to innovate and address the evolving security needs of its customers. However, it is important to stay cautious about how well Honeywell can integrate these new technologies into its existing framework and how effectively it can market them to drive adoption.

• $4.95 Billion Acquisition Bolsters Honeywell's Strategic Alignment to the Automation Megatrend, Underpinned by Digitalization
• Positions Honeywell as a Leading Provider of Security Solutions in a Digital Age
• Enhances Honeywell's Building Automation Segment, Adding an Accretive Growth and Margin Business

CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced the completion of its acquisition of Carrier Global Corporation's (NYSE: CARR) Global Access Solutions business for $4.95 billion. The deal positions Honeywell as a leading provider of security solutions for the digital age with opportunities for accelerated innovation in the fast-growing, cloud-based services and solutions space. This transaction also strengthens Honeywell's alignment of its portfolio around three compelling megatrends, including automation, and complements Honeywell's Building Automation segment.

The acquisition brings differentiated software capabilities through the addition of three respected brands to Honeywell's portfolio: LenelS2, a leader in commercial and enterprise access solutions; Onity, which offers electronic locks, specifically hospitality access and mobile credentials; and Supra, which specializes in cloud-based electronic lockboxes and scheduling software. Global Access Solutions' approximately 1,200 employees are now part of Honeywell. The transaction is expected to be adjusted earnings per share¹ accretive in the first full year of ownership.

Global Access Solutions enhances Honeywell's Building Automation business model of leading with high-value products that are critical for buildings. Honeywell will also benefit from the business's attractive growth and margin profile, valuable software content, and accretive mix of recurring revenue, with forecasted annual sales in excess of $1 billion when combined with Honeywell's existing security portfolio.

"As the world's security needs evolve from a focus on protecting people to protecting both people and critical assets, we see strong growth prospects for our Access Solutions acquisition," said Vimal Kapur, Chief Executive Officer of Honeywell. "By building on our strong track record of delivering high-value building automation products, solutions, and services globally, this acquisition creates an exciting opportunity for us to achieve faster growth and further margin expansion, while generating better outcomes for our Building Automation customers."

Company Updates 2024 Outlook, Changes Non-GAAP Reporting Metrics
Beginning in the second quarter, Honeywell will exclude the impact of amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and other acquisition-related costs⁴, including the related tax effects, from segment profit¹ and adjusted earnings per share¹. The company believes this change provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its performance period to period, aligns the measure to how management will evaluate performance internally, and makes it easier for investors to compare our performance to peers. Honeywell plans to provide historical non-GAAP financials under this new basis to facilitate comparability when the company reports its second quarter results in July 2024.

As a result of the acquisition closing, Honeywell has updated its full-year sales, segment margin², and adjusted earnings per share^2,3 guidance (under the amended calculation). Full-year sales are now expected to be $38.5 billion to $39.3 billion, including organic¹ sales growth of 4% to 6%. Segment margin² is expected to be in the range of 23.8% to 24.1%, with segment margin expansion² of 30 to 60 basis points. Adjusted earnings per share^2,3 is expected to be in the range of $10.15 to $10.45. Operating cash flow is expected to be in the range of $6.7 billion to $7.1 billion, with free cash flow¹ of $5.6 billion to $6.0 billion. A summary of the changes to the company's full-year guidance can be found in Table 1.

Honeywell also updated its second-quarter sales, segment margin², and adjusted earnings per share^2,3 guidance. Second-quarter sales are expected to be $9.3 billion to $9.6 billion, with organic¹ sales growth of 1% to 4%. Segment margin² is expected to be 22.7% to 23.1%, down 40 basis points to flat compared to the prior year period. Adjusted earnings per share^2,3 is expected to be in the range of $2.35 to $2.45, up 2% to 7% compared to the prior year.

This release contains financial measures presented on a non-GAAP basis. Honeywell's non-GAAP financial measures used in this release are as follows:

• Segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis;
• Segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis;
• Organic sales growth;
• Free cash flow; and
• Adjusted earnings per share.

Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Management believes the change to adjust for amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and acquisition-related costs provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its performance period to period, aligns the measure to how management will evaluate performance internally, and makes it easier for investors to compare our performance to peers. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain measures presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Refer to the Appendix attached to this release for reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Honeywell plans to provide historical non-GAAP financials under this new basis to facilitate comparability when the company reports its second quarter results in July 2024.

Appendix

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Honeywell plans to provide historical non-GAAP financials under this new basis to facilitate comparability when the company reports its second quarter results in July.

Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. Management believes the change to adjust for amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and acquisition-related costs provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its performance period to period, aligns the measure to how management will evaluate performance internally, and makes it easier for investors to compare our performance to peers. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain measures presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.

Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Honeywell's business.

Honeywell International Inc.
Definition of Organic Sales % Change

We define organic sales percentage 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, for the first 12 months following the transaction date. 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.

Reconciliation of Operating Income to Segment Profit, Calculation of Operating Income and Segment Profit Margins
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions)

Beginning second quarter 2024, we will exclude the impact of amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and certain acquisition-related costs from segment profit. The table below reconciles historical operating income to segment profit and segment profit margin giving effect to the additional adjustments.

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Twelve Months Ended  December 31,

1		Included in Selling, general and administrative expenses.
2		Includes repositioning, asbestos, environmental expenses, equity income adjustment, and other charges. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, other charges include $2 million of benefit, due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
3		Included in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses.
4		Includes acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory.

We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, certain acquisition-related costs, and repositioning and other charges. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit divided by net sales. 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 operating income to segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit and segment profit margin included herein. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment profit, particularly 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. The information that is unavailable to provide a quantitative reconciliation could have a significant impact on our reported financial results. To the extent quantitative information becomes available without unreasonable effort in the future, and closer to the period to which the forward-looking measures pertain, a reconciliation of operating income to segment profit will be included within future filings.

Acquisition amortization and acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions we complete and are not on a predictable cycle, and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions may occur. The Company believes excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

Honeywell International Inc.
Reconciliation of Earnings per Share to Adjusted Earnings per Share
(Unaudited)

Beginning second quarter 2024, we will exclude the impact of amortization expense for acquisition-related intangible assets and acquisition-related costs, including the related tax effects, from adjusted earnings per share. The table below reconciles certain historical and expected earnings per share of common stock – diluted to adjusted earnings per share giving and forward-looking effect to the additional adjustments.

1		For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 670.2 million and 668.2 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, expected earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 655 million and 656 million, respectively.
2		Pension mark-to-market expense uses a blended tax rate of 18%, net of tax benefit of $27 million, for 2023.
3		For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the adjustment was $1 million, without tax benefit. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was a benefit of $3 million, without tax expense. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the expected adjustment is a $17 million expense, without tax benefit, due to the settlement of a contractual dispute with a Russian entity associated with the Company's suspension and wind down activities in Russia.
4		For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $8 million, net of tax of benefit of $3 million, due to the net expense related to the NARCO Buyout and HWI Sale.
5		Bendix Friction Materials ("Bendix") is a business no longer owned by the Company. In 2023, the Company changed its valuation methodology for calculating legacy Bendix liabilities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $330 million, net of tax benefit of $104 million (or $434 million pre-tax) due to a change in the estimated liability for resolution of asserted (claims filed as of the financial statement date) and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. The Company experienced fluctuations in average resolution values year-over-year in each of the past five years with no well-established trends in either direction. In 2023, the Company observed two consecutive years of increasing average resolution values (2023 and 2022), with more volatility in the earlier years of the five-year period (2019 through 2021). Based on these observations, the Company, during its annual review in the fourth quarter of 2023, reevaluated its valuation methodology and elected to give more weight to the two most recent years by shortening the look-back period from five years to two years (2023 and 2022). The Company believes that the average resolution values in the last two consecutive years are likely more representative of expected resolution values in future periods. The $434 million pre-tax amount was attributable primarily to shortening the look-back period to the two most recent years, and to a lesser extent to increasing expected resolution values for a subset of asserted claims to adjust for higher claim values in that subset than in the modelled two-year data set.  It is not possible to predict whether such resolution values will increase, decrease, or stabilize in the future, given recent litigation trends within the tort system and the inherent uncertainty in predicting the outcome of such trends. The Company will continue to monitor Bendix claim resolution values and other trends within the tort system to assess the appropriate look-back period for determining average resolution values going forward.
6		For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, acquisition-related intangibles amortization includes $48 million and $231 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $13 million and $61 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, expected acquisition-related intangibles amortization includes approximately $66 million and $292 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $17 million and $77 million, respectively.
7		For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment for acquisition-related costs, which is principally comprised of third-party transaction and integration costs and acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, is approximately $1 million and $7 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $0 million and $2 million, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the expected adjustment for acquisition-related costs, which is principally comprised of third-party transaction and integration costs and acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, is approximately $24 million and $40 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $6 million and $11 million, respectively.

We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We believe adjusted earnings per share 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.

Acquisition amortization and acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions may occur. The Company believes excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

Honeywell International Inc.
Reconciliation of Expected Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Expected Free Cash Flow
(Unaudited)

	Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2024(E) ($B)
Cash provided by operating activities	~$6.7 - $7.1
Capital expenditures	~(1.1)
Free cash flow	~$5.6 - $6.0

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash for capital expenditures.

We believe that free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by 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 measure can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
