"Organic sales growth and a double-digit earnings increase highlighted
Honeywell's strong third quarter," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote.
"The continued integration and maturation of the Honeywell Operating System
throughout our global portfolio is helping to drive sales, margin, earnings,
and cash flow higher, and plenty of runway remains. We are committed to our
ongoing seed planting investments to bolster our great positions in good
industries and continuous process improvements to mitigate ongoing global
macroeconomic uncertainties. We are raising the low-end of our 2014 proforma
EPS outlook by $0.05 to $5.50-5.55 (up 11%-12%), which brings us to the
high-end of the initial guidance we provided almost a year ago. Looking ahead
to 2015, we're once again planning for a slow growth macro environment, but
expect to continue delivering strong earnings growth. We're confident that
Honeywell will continue to outperform now and over the long-term driven by a
relentless focus on new products and technologies, continued penetration of
high-growth regions, and sustained implementation of our key process
initiatives."

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

Third Quarter Segment Performance

Aerospace
  ($ Millions)     3Q 2013     3Q 2014     % Change
Sales                3,889       3,895        ~Flat
Segment Profit         730         790           8%
Segment Margin       18.8%       20.3%      150 bps

  * Sales for the third quarter were up 3% organically, driven by growth across
    the portfolio, but were approximately flat on a reported basis due to the
    Friction Materials divestiture.  Commercial OE sales were up 5% reflecting
    continued strong OE build rates, as well as an increase in Business and
    General Aviation (BGA) engine shipments.  Commercial Aftermarket sales
    increased 2% driven by strong Air Transport and Regional (ATR) spares
    growth, partially offset by a decline in RMU (Retrofit, Modifications, and
    Upgrades) sales in BGA and lower repair and overhaul activities.  Defense &
    Space sales grew 3% as a result of strong international growth and
    stabilization in U.S. government sales.  Transportation Systems sales were
    down (10%) reported, primarily reflecting the Friction Materials
    divestiture, and up 4% organically driven by new platform launches, higher
    turbo gas penetration globally, and increased commercial vehicle demand in
    Europe, partially offset by moderating EU light vehicle production.
  * Segment profit was up 8%, and segment margins expanded 150 bps to 20.3%,
    driven by productivity net of inflation, commercial excellence, and the
    favorable impact of the Friction Materials divestiture.

Automation and Control Solutions

  ($ Millions)                   3Q 2013   3Q 2014   % Change
Sales                              3,375     3,671         9%
Segment Profit                       523       583        11%
Segment Margin                     15.5%     15.9%     40 bps

  * Sales were up 9% reported, 4% organically, compared with the third quarter
    of 2013, primarily driven by the favorable impact of the Intermec
    acquisition and strong organic growth across Energy, Safety, and Security
    (ESS), particularly in Scanning & Mobility, Industrial Safety, Security,
    and Fire. Building Solutions & Distribution (BSD) saw continued strength in
    the Americas Distribution business.
  * Segment profit was up 11% and segment margins expanded 40 bps to 15.9%
    driven by higher volume, commercial excellence, and productivity net of
    inflation, partially offset by the dilutive impact of the Intermec
    acquisition.

Performance Materials and Technologies

  ($ Millions)                    3Q 2013   3Q 2014   % Change
Sales                               2,383     2,542         7%
Segment Profit                        413       444         8%
Segment Margin                      17.3%     17.5%     20 bps

  * Sales were up 7% on both an organic and reported basis compared with the
    third quarter of 2013, driven by UOP catalyst and gas processing growth, an
    acceleration of sales growth in Process Solutions, and higher sales across
    Advanced Materials, particularly Fluorine Products.
  * Segment profit was up 8% and segment margins increased 20 bps to 17.5%,
    driven by higher volume and productivity net of inflation, partially offset
    by price/raws headwinds in Resins & Chemicals and continued investments for
    growth.

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.

        Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow

                                                                   2013

Cash provided by operating activities                          $  4,335

Expenditures for property, plant and equipment                     (947)

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.

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.

million. Mark-to-market uses a blended tax rate of 25.5%.
