"Honeywell had a good start to the year with strong margin expansion driving
better than expected earnings," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "We
saw 3% organic sales growth ex-Defense & Space, with strong execution across
each of the businesses driving earnings above the high-end of our guidance. We
remain cautiously optimistic on the macro environment, even with some nice
momentum exiting the quarter in our short-cycle and long-cycle businesses
driving organic sales growth acceleration as we progress through the year. As a
result of the first quarter performance and overall favorable outlook for our
key end markets, we're raising the low-end of our 2014 Proforma EPS outlook by
$0.05 and our new guidance range is $5.40-$5.55. We are also increasing our
cash flow forecast for the year given the strong first quarter working capital
performance. We remain confident in our outlook and intend to perform better
than our peers driven by our diversity of opportunity, relentless seed planting
in new products and technologies, continued penetration of High Growth Regions
(HGRs), and growing traction on key process initiatives. We've also proactively
redeployed non-operating gains and operational earnings to fund smart new
repositioning projects benefiting 2015 and beyond. Our recently announced
organizational changes demonstrate the strength of our organization, add
further evidence to the effectiveness of the Honeywell operating model, and
reaffirm our belief that the best is yet to come for Honeywell."

The company is updating its full-year 2014 guidance and now expects:

In April 2014, Honeywell announced the realignment of our Honeywell Process
Solutions (HPS) business from Automation and Control Solutions (ACS) into
Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT). Effective with the reporting of
second quarter 2014 results, Honeywell will report its financial performance
based on the inclusion of HPS in PMT. During the second quarter of 2014
Honeywell will make available segment results revised for the new reporting
structure to provide financial information on a basis consistent with the new
reporting structure.

First Quarter Segment Performance

Aerospace
  ($ Millions)   1Q 2013  1Q 2014  % Change
Sales              2,911    2,858      (2%)
Segment Profit       551     549      ~Flat
Segment Margin     18.9%   19.2%     30 bps


  * Sales were down (2%) compared with the first quarter of 2013 driven by an
    (8%) decline in Defense & Space sales as a result of planned program ramp
    downs and delays, as well as lower Government Services, partially offset by
    Commercial growth.  Commercial OE sales were up 1% in the quarter driven by
    continued strong OE build rates and favorable platform mix, partially
    offset by lower regional jet sales. Commercial Aftermarket growth of 4% was
    driven by a 14% increase in spares sales, partially offset by lower
    maintenance activities.
  * Segment profit was approximately flat, and segment margins expanded 30 bps
    to 19.2%, driven by commercial excellence, productivity net of inflation
    and favorable aftermarket mix, partially offset by lower volume.



Automation and Control Solutions
  ($ Millions)                   1Q 2013  1Q 2014  % Change
Sales                              3,786    4,074        8%
Segment Profit                       523      580       11%
Segment Margin                     13.8%    14.2%    40 bps


  * Sales were up 8% reported, 2% organic, compared with the first quarter of
    2013, primarily driven by the favorable impact of acquisitions, growth in
    Energy, Safety, and Security, particularly Environmental and Combustion
    Controls (ECC) and Life Safety, with continued strong sales in U.S.
    residential end markets, new product introductions, and improving
    non-residential activity, partially offset by anticipated program ramp
    downs in Scanning & Mobility.  ACS also had higher service and software
    sales in Process Solutions.
  * Segment profit was up 11% and segment margins expanded 40 bps to 14.2%
    driven by higher sales volume, commercial excellence and productivity net
    of inflation, partially offset by the dilutive impact of acquisitions and
    continued investments for growth.



Performance Materials and Technologies
  ($ Millions)                         1Q 2013  1Q 2014   % Change
Sales                                    1,717    1,754         2%

Segment Margin                           21.8%    20.8%  (100) bps


  * Sales were up 2% compared with the first quarter of 2013, driven by
    increased UOP catalyst and gas processing volume and higher volumes in
    Advanced Materials, partially offset by lower equipment, licensing and
    service sales, and pricing headwinds in Fluorine Products and Resins &
    Chemicals, which are expected to moderate over the remainder of the year.
  * Segment profit was down (3%) and segment margins decreased (100) bps to
    20.8%, driven by unfavorable petrochemical catalyst shipment mix versus the
    prior year, price/raw headwinds in Fluorine Products and Resins &
    Chemicals, and continued investments for growth, partially offset by
    productivity net of inflation.


Transportation Systems
  ($ Millions)           1Q 2013  1Q 2014  % Change
Sales                        914      993        9%
Segment Profit               111      154       39%
Segment Margin             12.1%    15.5%   340 bps


  * Sales were up 9% reported, 7% organic, compared with the first quarter of
    2013, driven by continued growth from new platform launches, higher global
    turbo gas penetration and light vehicle production, and increased
    commercial vehicle demand globally.
  * Segment profit was up 39% and segment margins increased 340 bps to 15.5%
    primarily driven by strong Turbo productivity and volume leverage, and
    operational improvements.

Free cash flow                                  $ 496        $ 193

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.


Previously, we defined free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities,
less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment, cash pension
contributions, NARCO Trust establishment payments and cash taxes relating to
the sale of available for sale investments

Free cash flow                                                $ 3,388


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.



Previously, we defined free cash flow as cash provided by operating
activities, less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment, cash
pension contributions, NARCO Trust establishment payments and cash taxes
relating to the sale of available for sale investments.

EPS, excluding pension mark-to-market adjustment         $ 4.97


We believe EPS, excluding pension mark-to-market adjustment is a measure that
is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations
and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

EPS utilizes weighted average shares outstanding - assuming dilution of 797.3
million. Mark-to-market uses a blended tax rate of 25.5%.
