MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., July 21, 2017 -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced
financial results for the second quarter of 2017 and updated its full-year 2017
sales and earnings guidance.
"Honeywell's strong performance continued through the second quarter, with over
3% organic sales growth that exceeded the high end of our guidance range, and
50 basis points of segment margin expansion, resulting in second-quarter
earnings per share of $1.80," said Darius Adamczyk, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Honeywell. "Earnings came in at the high end of our
guidance range, up 10%? year-over-year. We continued our investments to enhance
future profitable growth through new product introductions, additions to the
sales organization, and more than $115 million of restructuring funding in the
quarter, made possible by a lower-than-planned tax rate. Quarterly free cash
flow of $1.2 billion was impacted by the timing of cash tax payments, and our
first-half performance remained strong with nearly 40% growth in free cash flow
year-over-year."
"Previous investments in production capacity are driving top-line growth. For
example, our newly completed facilities within Performance Materials and
Technologies are contributing to double-digit growth for our Solstice® line of
low-global-warming products and strong orders, sales, and backlog growth in
UOP," continued Adamczyk. "We are also pleased with the continued strength in
Aerospace Commercial Aftermarket and in Safety and Productivity Solutions,
where we continue to see strong demand for safety products and voice-enabled
workflow solutions."
"We expect continued momentum in organic sales growth throughout 2017,
supported by strong order rates and a growing backlog across many of our
businesses," said Adamczyk. "Our focus on delivering organic growth while
maintaining productivity rigor and aggressively deploying capital, combined
with our efforts to evolve as a world-class software-industrial company, is
delivering results for our shareowners."
"We are increasing our full-year reported and organic sales guidance and
raising the low end of our full-year earnings guidance by 10 cents. We now
anticipate 2017 earnings per share to be between $7.00 and $7.10, up 8%-10%,
excluding divestitures, any pension mark-to-market adjustments, and 2016 debt
refinancing charges. We also now expect full-year sales to be between $39.3
billion and $40.0 billion, up 2%-4% organic," Adamczyk concluded.
Honeywell will discuss the results during its investor conference call today
starting at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Second Quarter Performance
Honeywell sales for the second quarter were up over 3% on an organic basis and
up 1% on a reported basis. The difference between reported and organic sales is
the impact of foreign currency translation, the 2016 spin-off of the former
Resins and Chemicals business in Performance Materials and Technologies, and
the 2016 divestiture of the Aerospace government services business, partially
offset by the Intelligrated acquisition in Safety and Productivity Solutions.
The second-quarter financial results can be found in Tables 1 and 2, and
updated full-year guidance can be found in Table 3, below.
Aerospace sales for the second quarter were up 2% on an organic basis driven by
strength in Commercial Aftermarket, growth in U.S. defense, and a continuing
recovery in commercial vehicles in Transportation Systems. Segment margin
expanded 140 bps to 22.3%, primarily driven by higher volumes, productivity net
of inflation, and the favorable impact of the 2016 divestiture of the
government services business.
Home and Building Technologies sales for the second quarter were up 4% on an
organic basis driven by Smart Energy program roll-outs, air and water product
sales in China, and continued growth in the Distribution business. Segment
margin was unchanged at 15.4%, driven by restructuring benefits and
productivity net of inflation, offset by the unfavorable impact of higher sales
from lower margin products and investments for growth.
Performance Materials and Technologies sales for the second quarter were up 6%
on an organic basis driven by continued strength in Solstice® sales in Advanced
Materials and double-digit growth in modular gas processing in UOP. Segment
margin expanded 200 bps to 23.4%, primarily driven by productivity net of
inflation, the favorable impact from the spin-off of the former Resins and
Chemicals business, and commercial excellence.
Safety and Productivity Solutions sales for the second quarter were up 1% on an
organic basis as a result of higher volumes in industrial safety products,
sensing controls, and voice-enabled workflow solutions. Segment margin
contracted 70 bps to 15.0%, primarily driven by acquisition amortization and
integration costs, and investments for growth. Excluding the impact of
acquisitions, segment margin expanded 90 bps driven primarily by restructuring
benefits and productivity net of inflation.

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, 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.

A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic

change because management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without
unreasonable effort, the fluctuations in global currency markets that impact
foreign currency translation,
nor is it reasonable for management to predict the timing, occurrence and
impact of acquisition and divestiture transactions, all of which could
significantly impact our reported sales percent change.

(1) Earnings per share attributable to 2016 divestitures uses a blended tax
rate of 32.3% for three months ended June 30, 2016.
(2) The Company has and continues to have an ongoing level of restructuring
activities, for which there is a planned amount of restructuring-related
charges.
Additional restructuring represents only amounts that are incremental to those
planned restructuring amounts. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the
Company funded $117 million of restructuring, $90 million of which was
incremental to the planned amount. This additional restructuring was enabled
by a lower
than expected effective tax rate for the period. We believe that the exclusion
of this additional restructuring provides a more comparable measure of
year-on-year
results. Earnings per share attributable to additional restructuring uses a
tax rate of 25% for three months ended June 30, 2017.
We believe earnings per share adjusted to normalize for the expected effective
tax rate of 25% for the most recently completed fiscal quarter (as presented in
prior
guidance for such quarter) and to exclude the 2016 divestitures is a measure
that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing

(A) Included in cost of products and services sold and selling, general and
administrative expenses.
(B) Includes repositioning, asbestos, environmental expenses and equity income
adjustment.
We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in
understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating
trends.
A quantitative reconciliation of segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis,
to operating income has not been provided for forward-looking measures of
segment profit and segment margin included herewithin. Management cannot
reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and
timing
on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment profit,
particularly pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic
factors,
such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan
assets. The information that is unavailable to provide a quantitative
reconciliation could have a
significant impact on our reported financial results. To the extent
quantitative information becomes available without unreasonable effort in the
future, and closer to the
period to which the forward-looking measures pertain, a reconciliation of
segment profit to operating income will be included within future filings.

Reconciliation of Earnings Per Share to Earnings Per Share, Excluding Pension

Expense and Earnings Attributable to 2016 Divestitures (Unaudited)

Earnings per share of common stock - assuming TBD $
dilution (EPS) 6.20

$7.10 6.46
(1) Utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 774 million and an
expected effective tax rate of 24%.
(2) Utilizes weighted average shares of 775.3 million. Pension mark-to-market
expense uses a blended tax rate of 21.3%. Debt refinancing expense uses a tax
rate of 26.5%.
Earnings attributable to 2016 divestitures use a blended tax rate of 33.9%.
We believe EPS, excluding pension mark-to-market expense, debt refinancing
expense and earnings attributable to 2016 divestitures is a measure that is
useful to investors and
management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing
operating trends. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without
unreasonable effort, the
pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors,
such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan
assets. We therefore do
not include an estimate for the pension mark-to-market expense in this
reconciliation. Management is not currently forecasting an impact to earnings
per share arising from a debt
refinancing or divestiture transaction. Based on economic and industry
conditions, future developments and other relevant factors, these assumptions
are subject to change.
Honeywell International Inc
Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in billions)
Twelve Months Ended
December 31,
2017E 2016
Cash provided by operating activities $5.7 - $5.8 $5.5
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment (1.1) (1.1)
Free cash flow $4.6 - $4.7 $4.4
We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash
expenditures for property, plant and equipment.
We believe 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, 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.
