         Honeywell Second Quarter Sales up 10% to $7.0 Billion

Earnings Per Share up 29% before Tax Charge to Repatriate $2.7 Billion of
                           Foreign Earnings

Raises Forecast 10 Cents From Prior Guidance, Excluding Tax Charge For
                             Repatriation

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced a 10% increase in second quarter sales to
$7.0 billion compared to $6.4 billion in 2004, primarily due to organic sales
growth in each of its four businesses. The company reported earnings of 36 cents
per share, including a tax charge of 18 cents per share for the repatriation of
$2.7 billion of foreign earnings related to the provisions of the American Jobs
Creation Act of 2004. Excluding this tax charge, earnings increased 29% to 54
cents per share (including 3 cents per share from discontinued operations)
versus 42 cents per share in the second quarter of 2004. Net income was $306
million for the quarter ($461 million before the aforementioned tax charge)
versus $361 million last year. Cash flow from operations was $569 million and
free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was $410
million.

"Second quarter performance was excellent, driven by organic sales growth and
operational execution in each of our businesses," said Honeywell Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer Dave Cote. "We are confident that this performance will
continue for the remainder of the year and are increasing guidance accordingly."

The company increased its previously announced 2005 sales guidance by $400
million to $27.8 - $28.0 billion and earnings per share guidance (excluding the
abovementioned tax charge) 10 cents to $2.05 - $2.15 ($1.87 - $1.97 per share on
a reported basis). Free cash flow guidance was increased $100 million to $1.7 -
$1.8 billion (cash flow from operations of $2.5 - $2.6 billion).

Cote concluded, "Each of our businesses demonstrated strong first half
performance. Orders are up, pricing and productivity actions are offsetting
higher commodity and raw materials costs, we introduced great new products and
won important new contracts. We are repatriating $2.7 billion of foreign
earnings to enhance the flexibility of our already strong balance sheet."

Second-Quarter Segment Highlights

Aerospace

    --  Sales were up 8% compared with the second quarter of 2004, with 14%
        growth in commercial markets offset by flat defense and space sales.

    --  Segment margins were 15.7% compared with 15.0% a year ago, due to strong
        volume growth.

    --  Boeing awarded Honeywell its fifth contract win on the 787 Dreamliner,
        bringing the total potential value of all awarded content over the
        expected life of the program to in excess of $2.8 billion.

    --  Malaysia Airlines was the second airline in Asia to select Honeywell's
        Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS), a new safety system that
        helps pilots avoid on-ground incidents. The airline will install RAAS on
        its fleet of 92 aircraft and its three flight simulators. Over the past
        two years, RAAS has been selected by four major air carriers and is now
        scheduled to be installed on over 600 aircraft.

    --  Honeywell received FAA certification for its traffic surveillance system
        for the Airbus A330 and A340 aircraft. Honeywell's surveillance system
        adds greater distance and flight information capability to its Traffic
        Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) offering.

Automation and Control Solutions

    --  Sales were up 21% compared with the second quarter of 2004, driven by
        organic sales growth of 5%, primarily in Life Safety, Building Solutions
        and Security, and the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures of
        16%.

    --  Segment margins were 10.1% compared with 10.5% a year ago, due to the
        anticipated dilutive impact of acquisitions and divestitures, partially
        offset by volume and productivity. Excluding the impact of acquisitions
        and divestitures, segment margins would have expanded to 11.5%.

    --  The Novar IBS integration is on track to deliver projected synergies.
        The sales process for the divestiture of the non-core Security Printing
        Services and Indalex Aluminum Solutions businesses was initiated in the
        quarter. Divestiture of the $10 million Esser Italia Fire business, as
        mandated by the European Union, was completed in June.

    --  Building Solutions signed four major energy savings performance
        contracts totaling $28 million, including a $10 million contract with
        the Chattanooga (Tennessee) Housing Authority for energy- and
        water-saving retrofits at 18 sites.

    --  Life Safety completed the acquisition of Zellweger Analytics, a $170
        million global leader in hazardous gas detection technology, providing
        Honeywell customers with a full suite of gas detection solutions and
        broadening the company's sensing and detection capabilities.

Transportation Systems

    --  Sales were up 12% compared with the second quarter of 2004, reflecting
        continued growth in the Turbo Technologies and Consumer Products
        businesses.

    --  Segment margins were 13.5%, compared with 14.1% a year ago, due to
        higher raw material costs, partially offset by volume and pricing.

    --  Turbo Technologies launched the latest version of its AVNT(TM) (advanced
        variable nozzle turbine) turbocharger on the 2006 GM Duramax heavy duty
        pickup.

    --  The all-new FRAM(R) High Mileage oil filter, designed specifically for
        vehicles with more than 75,000 miles, debuted with strong retail
        performance.

Specialty Materials

    --  Sales were down 12% compared with the second quarter of 2004, due to the
        divested Performance Fibers and Industrial Wax businesses, offset by 1%
        organic sales growth related to pricing actions and demand for
        proprietary fluorines technology.

    --  Segment margins were 9.8% compared with 5.7% a year ago, with price
        increases and productivity actions more than offsetting higher raw
        material costs.

    --  Divestiture of the $186 million non-core Industrial Wax business was
        completed.

    --  Chemicals received approval for Genetron(R) R-245fa as a replacement for
        a variety of ozone-depleting refrigerants, such as CFCs, used in air
        conditioning and refrigeration for both new and retrofit applications.
        R-245fa is one of a family of refrigerants developed and patented by
        Honeywell to meet the challenge of replacing ozone-depleting substances,
        such as CFC refrigerants.

    --  Specialty Films launched Aclar(R) Flex moisture barrier film, a
        specially-designed film for healthcare applications where transparency,
        flexibility and moisture barrier is crucial.

During the quarter the company recognized a pre-tax charge of $123 million for
repositioning, environmental, litigation, and other matters, primarily
reflecting continued efforts to reduce the company's cost base and to address
remediation work.

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,
and to 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.
