Total Honeywell
($ Millions, except Earnings Per Share)
1Q 2014 1Q 2015 Change
Sales 9,679 9,213 (5%)
Segment Margin 16.5% 18.7% 220 bps
Operating Income Margin 14.2% 17.6% 340 bps

"Honeywell had a good start to 2015 delivering double-digit earnings growth at
the high end of our guidance range and experiencing improving momentum over the
course of the quarter," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "Each of our
businesses grew on a core organic basis and generated significant margin
improvement in the first quarter as a result of new product introductions, High
Growth Region performance, other commercial excellence and prudent cost
management. Free cash flow was adversely impacted by the payment of the OEM
incentives we accrued in the fourth quarter and the timing of tax payments, and
we remain on track to our full-year guidance. While we are off to a strong
start to 2015, we will continue to plan conservatively as the global economic
environment continues to evolve, and in the first quarter we funded additional
repositioning, which will continue to improve our cost position. We are raising
the low end of our full-year EPS guidance range to $6.00-$6.15. We expect core
organic sales for the full year to be up 3%, while our reported sales are
expected to be down 2% - 3% due to the impact of foreign currency, the
divestiture of Friction Materials, and raw materials pricing in Resins &
Chemicals. We're able to raise our full-year earnings guidance and maintain our
cash outlook while continuing to invest for the future in seed planting and
additional repositioning because of new products and technologies, further
penetration of High Growth Regions, conservative cost planning, and deployment
of our key process initiatives as part of HOS Gold. We're confident that our
balanced portfolio mix of short- and long-cycle businesses is well-positioned
to deliver on our 2015 commitments and our 2018 targets."
The company is updating its full-year 2015 guidance and now expects:

First Quarter Segment Performance
Aerospace
($ Millions)
1Q 2014 1Q 2015 % Change
Sales 3,851 3,607 (6%)
Segment Profit 703 752 7%
Segment Margin 18.3% 20.8% 250 bps
* Sales for the first quarter were up 1% on a core organic basis, and were
down (6%) reported driven by the Friction Materials divestiture and the
unfavorable impact of foreign exchange. Commercial OE sales were up 1% on
a core organic basis driven by strong deliveries, partially offset by
timing delays on certain business jet platforms. Commercial Aftermarket
sales were up 1% on a core organic basis driven by continued growth in
repair and overhaul activities, partially offset by lower spares sales.
Defense & Space sales declined (1%) on a core organic basis driven by lower
U.S. government deliveries, partially offset by double-digit growth in
international defense. Transportation Systems sales were down (23%)
reported, due to the Friction Materials divestiture and unfavorable impact
of foreign exchange. On a core organic basis, TS sales were up 5% driven by
higher gas turbo volumes globally.
* Segment profit was up 7% and segment margins expanded 250 bps to 20.8%,
driven by productivity net of inflation, commercial excellence, and the
favorable impact of the Friction Materials divestiture.
Automation and Control Solutions
($ Millions)
1Q 2014 1Q 2015 % Change
Sales 3,362 3,264 (3%)
Segment Profit 471 51 10%
Segment Margin 14.0% 15.8% 180 bps
* Sales for the first quarter were up 3% on a core organic basis and down
(3%) reported driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange.
Energy, Safety, and Security (ESS) sales increased 3% on a core organic
basis, driven most significantly by volume growth in Scanning & Mobility.
Building Solutions & Distribution (BSD) sales increased 3% on a core
organic basis driven by continued strength in Americas Distribution. In
addition, we closed the acquisition of Datamax-O'Neil, a global
manufacturer of fixed and mobile printers, in March.
* Segment profit was up 10% and segment margins expanded 180 bps to 15.8%
driven by productivity net of inflation and higher volume, partially offset
by continued investments for growth. In addition, ESS continues to realize
incremental synergies from the integration of Intermec into Scanning &
Mobility.
Performance Materials and Technologies
($ Millions)
1Q 2014 1Q 2015 % Change
Sales 2,466 2,342 (5%)
Segment Profit 473 503 6%
Segment Margin 19.2% 21.5% 230 bps
* Sales were up 3% on a core organic basis, and were down (5%) reported
driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign exchange and raw materials
pricing in Resins & Chemicals. The increase in core organic sales was
primarily driven by UOP gas processing growth and higher sales in Fluorine
Products and Specialty Products, partially offset by lower volumes in
Resins & Chemicals (resulting primarily from unplanned plant outages) and
Process Solutions.
* Segment profit was up 6% and segment margins increased 230 bps to 21.5%,
driven by commercial excellence, productivity net of inflation, and higher
volumes, partially offset by unplanned plant outages in Resins & Chemicals
and continued investments for growth.

*Throughout this press release, core organic growth refers to reported growth
less the impacts from foreign currency movement, M&A and raw materials pricing
in the Resins & Chemicals business of PMT. The raw materials pricing impact is
excluded in instances where raw materials costs are passed through to
customers, which drives fluctuations in selling prices not necessarily tied to
volume growth. A reconciliation of core organic growth to organic growth is
