CORK, Ireland, July 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI) today reported a fiscal third quarter 2020 GAAP loss per share from continuing operations, including special items, of $0.24. Excluding these items, adjusted earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations was $0.67, up 3% versus the prior year period (see attached footnotes for non-GAAP reconciliation).

Sales of $5.3 billion decreased 17% compared to the prior year and declined 16% organically, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic.  

GAAP earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") was a loss of $65 million and EBIT margin was (1.2%) driven primarily by a restructuring and impairment charge.  Adjusted EBIT was $707 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 13.2%, up 70 basis points compared to prior year results.

"As we continue to navigate through an unprecedented environment we have maintained focus on our two top priorities – protecting the health and safety of our employees and their families, as well as supporting the continuous functionality of our customers' and partners' critical infrastructure and essential facilities," said George Oliver, chairman and CEO. "We have made significant progress in securing our facilities, implementing new policies, and ensuring the wellbeing of our employees, our customers, and their building occupants."

"At the same time, the decisive actions we took to control costs from the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, have resulted in significant benefits in the quarter," Oliver continued.

"Although market conditions remain uncertain and visibility still somewhat limited, we are well positioned with improved operating fundamentals, a strong balance sheet and cash flow, and a leading position in intelligent and sustainable building solutions. It is because of our market leading position that we are excited to announce OpenBlue, our new digital platform. OpenBlue will allow our customers to manage their operations more systemically and seamlessly, delivering buildings that have memory, intelligence and a unique identity. The platform is infused with award-winning artificial intelligence, combining data from both inside and outside of buildings leveraging the cloud to provide unique occupant experiences. OpenBlue is the culmination of years of R&D led by our incredible engineers and data scientists around the globe, and reflects how we think about buildings evolving from inflexible assets to sustainable dynamic resources.  As the world looks to re-open economies while dealing with the global pandemic, OpenBlue solutions contain innovative technologies that enhance our core capabilities, delivering the highest air quality and the safest and most secure buildings, to ensure an efficient return to a healthy workplace," Oliver added.

Segment EBITA margin %	12.9%	15.2%		13.3%	15.4%	210bps

Sales in the quarter of $2.0 billion, decreased 13% versus the prior year. Organic sales were also down 13% versus the prior year, driven by a decline in project installations and, to a lesser extent, service.  Growth in Performance Solutions was more than offset by a decline in Fire & Security and HVAC & Controls.         

Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, decreased 16% year-over-year driven by lower demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Backlog at the end of the quarter of $5.8 billion increased 2% year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.

Adjusted segment EBITA was $311 million, essentially flat with the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 15.4% expanded 210 basis points versus the prior year driven by significant cost mitigation actions taken in the quarter to offset the volume decline.

Adjusted segment EBITA was $62 million, down approximately 40% versus the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 8.2% declined 300 basis points over the prior year, including a 40 basis point headwind related to foreign currency.  Adjusting for foreign currency, the underlying margin declined 260 basis points driven by the significant volume declines, resulting from closures across the regions which more than offset positive mix and mitigating cost actions.

In this communication, statements regarding Johnson Controls' future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, synergies and integration opportunities, capital expenditures and debt levels are forward-looking statements. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "forecast," "project" or "plan" and terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls' control, that could cause Johnson Controls' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks related to: Johnson Controls' ability to manage general economic, business and geopolitical conditions, including the impacts of natural disasters, pandemics and outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, any delay or inability of Johnson Controls to realize the expected benefits and synergies of recent portfolio transactions such as the merger with Tyco and the disposition of the Power Solutions business, changes in tax laws (including but not limited to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act enacted in December 2017), regulations, rates, policies or interpretations, the loss of key senior management, the tax treatment of recent portfolio transactions, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities associated with such transactions, the outcome of actual or potential litigation relating to such transactions, the risk that disruptions from recent transactions will harm Johnson Controls' business, the strength of the U.S. or other economies, changes to laws or policies governing foreign trade, including increased tariffs or trade restrictions, energy and commodity prices, the availability of raw materials and component products, currency exchange rates, maintaining the capacity, reliability and security of our information technology infrastructure, the risk of infringement or expiration of intellectual property rights, work stoppages, union negotiations, labor disputes and other matters associated with the labor force, the outcome of litigation and governmental proceedings and cancellation of or changes to commercial arrangements.  A detailed discussion of risks related to Johnson Controls' business is included in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Johnson Controls' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2019 fiscal year filed with the SEC on November 21, 2019, which is available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the "Investors" tab.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include restructuring and impairment costs, transaction costs, integration costs, net mark-to-market adjustments, and discrete tax items. Financial information regarding organic sales, EBIT, EBIT margin, segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA, adjusted organic segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA margin, adjusted corporate expense, free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow, and adjusted net income (loss) from continuing operations are also presented, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items such as transaction costs and integration costs because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units.  Management believes that, when considered together with unadjusted amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and business trends of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure.  For further information on the calculation of thee non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures, refer to the attached footnotes.

	(1) The Company's press release contains financial information regarding segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company's definition of adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its businesses. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.
	A reconciliation of segment EBITA to income from continuing operations is shown earlier within this footnote. The following is the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reconciliation of segment EBITA and segment EBITA margin as reported to adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margin (unaudited):

	(2)  Adjusted Corporate expenses excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company's business. Adjusted Corporate expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020 excludes $19 million of integration costs. Adjusted Corporate expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 excludes $92 million of integration costs. Adjusted Corporate expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2019 excludes $226 million of income as a result of a tax indemnification reserve release, partially offset by $63 million of integration costs and $3 million of transaction costs. Adjusted Corporate expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 excludes $226 million of income as a result of a tax indemnification reserve release, partially offset by $165 million of integration costs and $7 million of transaction costs.
	(3) The three months ended June 30, 2020 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $132 million. The nine months ended June 30, 2020 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments and pension and postretirement plans of $154 million. The three months ended June 30, 2019 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments of $9 million. The nine months ended June 30, 2019 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments of $8 million.
	(4) Restructuring and impairment costs for the three months ended June 30, 2020 of $610 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. Restructuring and impairment costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 of $783 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. Restructuring and impairment costs for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 of $235 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. The restructuring actions and impairment costs related primarily to workforce reductions, plant closures and asset impairments.
	(5) Management defines earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as income (loss) from continuing operations before net financing charges, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. EBIT is a non-GAAP performance measure. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company. A reconciliation of EBIT to income (loss) from continuing operations is shown earlier within this footnote.
	(6) Adjusted net financing charges for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2019 exclude a loss on debt extinguishment of $60 million.
	(7) Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2020 excludes tax benefits from net mark-to-market adjustments of $34 million, restructuring and impairment costs of $28 million, tax audit reserve adjustments of $22 million, and integration costs of $4 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2020 excludes tax benefits from restructuring and impairment costs of $48 million, tax audit reserve adjustments of $44 million, net mark-to-market adjustments of $38 million, and integration costs of $15 million, partially offset by tax provisions related to Switzerland tax reform of $30 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2019 excludes tax provisions related to new U.S. tax regulations of $226 million and net mark-to-market adjustments of $2 million, partially offset by the tax benefits related to restructuring and impairment charges of $53 million, and environmental reserve of $28 million and integration costs of $9 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2019 excludes tax provisions primarily related to new U.S. tax regulations of $226 million, valuation allowance adjustments of $76 million as a result of changes in U.S tax law and net mark-to-market adjustments of $2 million, partially offset by the tax benefits related to restructuring and impairment charges of $53 million, an environmental reserve of $28 million, integration costs of $22 million and transaction costs of $1 million.
	(8) An environmental charge for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 of $140 million is excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results.  The $140 million is related to remediation efforts to be undertaken to address contamination at our facilities in Marinette, Wisconsin.  A substantial portion of the reserve relates to the remediation of fire-fighting foams containing PFAS compounds at or near our Fire Technology Center in Marinette.

 

2.  Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation
	The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include transaction/integration costs, net mark-to-market adjustments, restructuring and impairment costs, tax indemnification reserve release, environmental reserve, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on sale of Power Solutions business, net of transaction and other costs, impact of ceasing the depreciation and amortization expense for the Power Solutions business as the business is held for sale, and discrete tax items. The Company excludes these items because they are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

	The following table reconciles the denominators used to calculate basic and diluted earnings per share for JCI plc (in millions; unaudited):
		Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
		June 30,				June 30,
		2020		2019		2020		2019
	Weighted average shares outstanding for JCI plc
	Basic weighted average shares outstanding	744.0		870.9		756.3		898.4
	Effect of dilutive securities:
	Stock options, unvested restricted stock
	and unvested performance share awards	-		4.3		2.6		3.8
	Diluted weighted average shares outstanding	744.0		875.2		758.9		902.2
	For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the total number of potential dilutive shares due to stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested performance share awards was 1.5 million. However, these items were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2020, since to do so would decrease the loss per share. On an adjusted diluted outstanding share basis, inclusion of the effect of dilutive securities results in diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 745.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
	The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding adjusted EPS, organic revenue decline, net EBIT decrementals, adjusted corporate expense and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses, income or cash flows from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period, including but not limited to the high variability of the net mark-to-market adjustments and the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Our fiscal 2020 fourth quarter guidance for organic revenue decline also excludes the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's full year 2020 GAAP financial results.

4.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation
	The Company's press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes special items, as included in the table below, because these cash flows are not considered to be directly related to its underlying businesses. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash.
	The following is the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 reconciliation of free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion for continuing operations (unaudited):
	(in billions)	Three Months Ended June 30, 2020				Three Months Ended June 30, 2019				Nine Months Ended June 30, 2020				Nine Months Ended June 30, 2019

5.  Net Debt to EBITDA
	The Company provides financial information regarding net debt to adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The Company believes the total net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is useful to understanding the Company's financial condition as it provides a review of the extent to which the Company relies on external debt financing for its funding and is a measure of risk to its shareholders. The following is the June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 calculation of net debt to adjusted EBITDA (unaudited):
	(in millions)	June 30, 2020				March 31, 2020
	Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt	$                      2,423				$                       1,430
	Long-term debt	5,671				5,640
	Total debt	8,094				7,070
	Less: cash and cash equivalents	2,342				1,006
	Total net debt	$                      5,752				$                       6,064
	Last twelve months adjusted EBITDA	$                      3,223				$                       3,326
	Total net debt to adjusted EBITDA	1.8x				1.8x
	The following is the last twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020 reconciliation of income from continuing operations to adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP performance measures (unaudited):
	(in millions)	Last Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2020				Last Twelve Months Ended March 31, 2020
	Income from continuing operations	$                         959				$                       1,306
	Income tax benefit	(550)				(310)
	Net financing charges	217				278
	EBIT	626				1,274
	Adjusting items:
	Transaction costs	4				7
	Integration costs	214				267
	Net mark-to-market adjustments	780				639
	Restructuring and impairment costs	783				408
	Tax indemnification reserve release	-				(226)
	Environmental reserve	-				140
	Adjusted EBIT (1)	2,407				2,509
	Depreciation and amortization	816				817
	Adjusted EBITDA (1)	$                      3,223				$                       3,326
	(1) The Company's definition of adjusted EBIT and adjusted EBITDA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its businesses. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

 

6.  Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate from continuing operations before consideration of transaction/integration costs, net mark-to-market adjustments, environmental reserve, tax indemnification reserve release, restructuring and impairment costs, loss on extinguishment of debt and discrete tax items for the three and nine months ending June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 is approximately 13.5%.

7.  Restructuring and Impairment Costs

The three months ended June 30, 2020 include restructuring and impairment costs of $610 million related to workforce reductions, asset impairments and goodwill impairments related to the Company's retail business. The nine months ended June 30, 2020 include restructuring and impairment costs of $783 million related primarily to workforce reductions, plant closures, asset impairments, and indefinite-lived intangible asset and goodwill impairments related to the Company's retail business. The three and nine months ended June 30, 2019 include restructuring and impairment costs of $235 million related to the impairment of a Global Products business classified as held for sale.

8.  Leases

On October 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)," which requires recognition of operating leases as a lease asset and liabilities on the balance sheet. The adoption of the new guidance resulted in recognition of a right-of-use asset and related lease liabilities of $1.1 billion.
