"Honeywell delivered better than expected quarterly earnings and margins even
in a continued slow global growth environment," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO
Dave Cote. "We had strong productivity in the quarter, and our balanced
portfolio of both short- and long-cycle businesses continues to drive our
outperformance. As a result of our strong start to 2013, we're raising the
low-end of our full-year earnings guidance by five cents. We're achieving these
results in a slow growth environment while also maintaining our seed planting
for the future by investing in new products and technologies, geographic
expansion, and driving our key process initiatives. And, it will continue. It's
what will help Honeywell deliver top-tier earnings performance this year and
over the long-term."

First quarter 2013 earnings per share (EPS) reflects a 23.1% effective tax rate
compared to 26.5% last year. Using the expected full-year tax rate of 26.5%,
EPS growth would have been 12%.

The company is updating its full-year 2013 sales and EPS guidance and now
expects:

First Quarter Segment Performance

Aerospace
  ($ Millions)   1Q 2012  1Q 2013  % Change
Sales             2,950    2,911       (1%)
Segment Profit      534      551        3%
Segment Margin     18.1%    18.9%   80 bps

* Sales were down (1%) compared with the first quarter of 2012 driven by a

(1%) decline in our Commercial businesses primarily driven by higher than

normal prior year shipments to commercial airline and BGA original

equipment customers, and a (1%) decline in Defense and Space, as expected.

* Segment profit was up 3%, and segment margins expanded 80 bps to 18.9%,

primarily due to commercial excellence and productivity net of inflation

(including prior year impact of customer bankruptcy), partially offset by

lower aftermarket volumes.

Automation and Control Solutions

  ($ Millions)                     1Q 2012  1Q 2013  % Change
Sales                               3,788    3,786    ~ flat
Segment Profit                        491      523        7%
Segment Margin                       13.0%    13.8%   80 bps

* Sales were approximately flat on both a reported and organic basis compared

    with the first quarter of 2012. Energy, Safety, and Security sales were up
    primarily due to growth in ECC and Security products, partially offset by

lower sales in Process Solutions and Building Solutions and Distribution.

* Segment profit was up 7% and segment margins were up 80 bps to 13.8% driven

by commercial excellence and productivity net of inflation.

Performance Materials and Technologies

  ($ Millions)                           1Q 2012  1Q 2013    % Change
Sales                                     1,615     1,717         6%
Segment Profit                              319       374        17%
Segment Margin                             19.8%     21.8%   200 bps

  * Sales were up 6% reported, down (2%) organic, compared with the first
    quarter of 2012, resulting from the Thomas Russell acquisition, higher
    petrochemical catalyst shipments and equipment sales in UOP, partially
    offset by planned plant outages in Resins & Chemicals and Fluorine
    Products.

* Segment profit was up 17% and segment margins increased 200 bps to 21.8%,

primarily due to higher sales at UOP and favorable price net of inflation,

partially offset by lower volume in Advanced Materials and continued

investments for growth.


Transportation Systems
  ($ Millions)           1Q 2012  1Q 2013   % Change
Sales                       954      914        (4%)
Segment Profit              120      111        (8%)
Segment Margin             12.6%    12.1%   (50) bps

* Sales were down (4%) on both a reported and organic basis compared with the

first quarter of 2012, driven by approximately 10% lower European light

vehicle production volumes and declining aftermarket sales, partially

offset by the positive impact of new platform launches, including higher

    turbo gas launches in North America and China.
  * Segment profit was down (8%) and segment margins decreased (50) bps to
    12.1% primarily driven by lower sales, and ongoing projects to drive
    operational improvement in the Friction Materials business, partially
    offset by productivity benefits.

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, repay debt obligations prior to their
maturities, or make cash pension contributions. 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.
