Honeywell Third Quarter Sales up 8% to $6.9 Billion; Earnings up 28%
to 55 Cents Per Share; Company Realizes 5% Organic Growth and a Full Point of
Margin Expansion
Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced an 8% increase in third quarter sales to
$6.9 billion compared to $6.4 billion in 2004. The company reported earnings of
55 cents per share in the third quarter, an increase of 28% versus 43 cents per
share in the third quarter of 2004. Net income was $470 million for the quarter
compared with $372 million last year. Cash flow from operations was $705 million
and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was
$543 million.
"This was another strong quarter for Honeywell, highlighted by 5% organic growth
and a full point of margin expansion," said Honeywell Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer Dave Cote. "We continued to make significant progress in
positioning the business for growth. We announced our intent to acquire the
remaining 50% interest in our UOP joint venture, a leading technology provider
to the petroleum refining, petrochemical and gas processing industries. In
addition, we are divesting our non-core U.S. nylon carpet fiber operations. Both
transactions are expected to close in the fourth quarter and will substantially
complete the portfolio transformation of our Specialty Materials business. We
also reached a definitive agreement to sell Indalex Aluminum Solutions, one of
the two non-core Novar businesses, at terms that are in line with prior
expectations."
The company also updated its previously announced 2005 financial guidance. Sales
for the full year are anticipated to be up 8% to approximately $27.6 billion and
free cash flow is expected to be $1.7 - $1.8 billion (cash flow from operations
of $2.5 - $2.6 billion). Earnings per share (excluding the tax charge associated
with the repatriation of foreign earnings related to the provisions of the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004) is expected to be $2.11 - $2.13 ($1.93 -
$1.95 per share on a reported basis), up 30% on a reported basis.
Third Quarter Segment Highlights
Aerospace
-- Sales were up 6% compared with the third quarter of 2004, with 9% growth
in commercial markets and 3% growth in defense and space sales.
-- Segment margins were 16.8% compared with 15.4% a year ago, due to strong
volume growth.
-- Aerospace received European Aviation Safety Agency certification for its
Runway Awareness and Advisory System (RAAS) on a range of business
aviation aircraft. French regulatory authorities also approved RAAS for
the Boeing 777 aircraft.
-- Defense and Space delivered RDR-4000M, the first of its next-generation
weather radar systems, to the United States Air Force for installation
in a C-17 Globemaster III. This system is the military variant of the
commercial RDR-4000 system, selected for the new Airbus A380, and
recently selected for Singapore Airlines new fleet of Boeing 777's.
-- Defense and Space was selected by Bell Helicopter to provide the HTS900
engine, the Radar Altimeter and the Embedded Global Positioning
System/Inertial Navigation System for the Armed Reconnaissance
Helicopter.
Automation and Control Solutions
-- Sales were up 23% compared with the third quarter of 2004, driven by
organic sales growth of 4%, primarily in the Security and Life Safety
businesses, and the impact of acquisitions of 19%.
-- Segment margins were 12.3% compared with 11.8% a year ago, as
productivity gains more than offset the anticipated dilutive impact of
acquisitions. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, segment margins
would have expanded to 12.8%.
-- VisionPRO(TM) and FocusPRO(TM), the award-winning centerpieces of
Honeywell's new thermostat offerings, continued to experience strong
customer acceptance, which helped drive 15% growth in the North American
trade channel of the Environmental and Combustion Controls business.
-- Building Solutions signed energy savings performance contracts totaling
more than $50 million in the third quarter, including Altus Air Force
Base in Oklahoma and Rochester, N.H. schools, and introduced Honeywell
MiniRetrofit(TM) Service, a new facility-optimization program that
allows building managers in the commercial/industrial sector to replace
aging infrastructure with high-efficiency equipment and systems.
-- Process Solutions won a $48 million agreement to provide comprehensive
e-retail solutions to the Indian Oil Corporation Ltd and the Hindustan
Petroleum Corporation, as well as a $10 million five-year oil and gas
process automation solutions contract to service four Sonatrach sites in
Algeria.
Transportation Systems
-- Sales were flat compared with the third quarter of 2004, due to a shift
in European consumer demand among automotive platforms and the impact of
slightly lower European light vehicle production on Turbo Technologies
sales, offset by continued growth in North America.
-- Segment margins were 11.4%, compared with 13.0% a year ago, due to
higher raw material costs, unfavorable mix, and the operational costs
associated with the exit from Friction Materials' North American
original equipment business, partially offset by productivity gains.
-- Turbo Technologies' third generation VNT(TM) was launched on the Audi A8
4.2 TDI, BMW 745d and the Mercedes S 420 CDI. These three flagship
vehicles were introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
-- Consumer Products Group and Friction Materials have merged to form a
single, global organization to better leverage worldwide sales and
distribution capabilities and to realize greater operational
efficiencies.
Specialty Materials
-- Sales were down 12% compared with the third quarter of 2004, with 6%
organic growth, primarily in the Chemicals and Nylon businesses, which
was more than offset by the loss of sales from the divested Performance
Fibers and Industrial Wax businesses.
-- Segment margins were 7.5% compared with 4.3% a year ago, with price
increases and productivity actions more than offsetting higher raw
material costs.
-- Honeywell agreed to acquire the 50% interest in UOP LLC currently owned
by Union Carbide, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company,
which will result in full ownership of the entity. UOP, a leading
international supplier and licensor of process technology, catalysts,
process plants and consulting services to the petroleum refining,
petrochemical and gas processing industries, had revenue of $1.2 billion
in 2004. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of
2005.
-- Specialty Materials agreed to sell its U.S nylon carpet fiber operations
to Shaw Industries Group, Inc. The transaction is expected to close in
the fourth quarter of 2005.
During the quarter the company recognized a pre-tax charge of $110 million for
repositioning, environmental, litigation, and other matters, which is net of a
favorable $67 million arbitration ruling.

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.
