Throughout this press release, core organic sales growth refers to reported sales growth less the impacts from foreign currency translation, M&A and raw materials pass-through 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 tied to volume growth. A reconciliation of core organic sales growth to reported sales growth is provided in the attached financial tables.

"The third-quarter results came in as we outlined on our October 7 conference call. We are well-positioned for double-digit earnings growth in the fourth quarter, leading to 8%-9% earnings growth in 2016," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "It was a quarter of important changes in many areas. We split the former Automation and Control Solutions business into two new reporting segments; closed the acquisition of Intelligrated and sold Honeywell Technology Solutions, Inc.; and spun off our Resins and Chemicals business as a freestanding publicly-traded company named AdvanSix Inc. (NYSE: ASIX). We also funded approximately $250 million in restructuring and other actions from a $0.07 increase in first- and second-quarter EPS caused by an accounting standard adoption, and the $0.14 gain related to the sale of our government services business. These actions will drive more than $175 million of benefits in 2017 alone. We also intend in the fourth quarter to refinance outstanding debt maturing in 2017-2019, which will lower interest expense by approximately $60 million annually beginning in 2017."

"Combined with our ongoing productivity initiatives driven by the Honeywell Operating System, and the strength of our underlying portfolio, the actions we announced this quarter position Honeywell for future outperformance," continued Cote. "Moving ahead, we are targeting low single-digit core organic sales growth, continued segment margin improvement, and a double-digit increase in EPS in 2017. Darius Adamczyk, Chief Operating Officer, and Tom Szlosek, Chief Financial Officer, will provide more details about 2017 during our annual outlook call in December."

"We are committed to creating sustainable long-term shareowner value," concluded Cote. "We remain focused on disciplined capital deployment, aggressive organic sales growth, seed planting for new products and technologies, penetrating High Growth Regions, and executing on our key process initiatives. 2017 will be an inflection year for several core business units: growing demand for our UOP catalysts and modular equipment, Jetwave™ and other products and services tied to connected aircraft, further turbo penetration, and strong sales growth from Solstice® (HFOs), our line of low-global-warming refrigerants and blowing agents. Revenue and earnings from the nearly $8 billion in M&A investments during the past two years should also be a significant contributor to 2017 performance. We are confident in our position and expect to continue to outperform."

  • Sales for the third quarter were down (6%) on a reported and core organic basis. The decrease was primarily driven by the unfavorable impact of third-quarter OEM incentives, lower volumes in Business and General Aviation, program completions in the U.S. Space and international Defense businesses, and continued weakness in the commercial helicopter business. This was partially offset by increased Air Transport OE deliveries and repair and overhaul activities, and new turbo platform launches on passenger vehicles in Transportation Systems.
  • Segment profit was down (20%) and segment margin declined (340) bps to 18.4%, due to higher Aerospace OEM incentives and lower volumes in Business Jet and Defense, partially offset by productivity net of inflation and commercial excellence.

  • Sales for the third quarter were up 17% reported and up 5% on a core organic basis. The increase was primarily driven by continued strength in our Distribution and Building Solutions businesses, and Products growth in Environmental & Energy Solutions and in China. The difference between reported and core organic sales was due to the favorable impact from acquisitions, primarily Elster.
  • Segment profit was up 8% and segment margin declined (130) bps to 16.3%, driven by acquisition amortization and integration costs, continued growth investments in salespeople and research and development, and the unfavorable mix impact of increased sales in Building Solutions and Distribution, partially offset by benefits from previously-funded restructuring, higher sales volumes, and commercial excellence.

  • Sales for the third quarter were up 2% reported.

The difference between reported and core organic sales was due to the favorable impact from acquisitions, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency and market pricing headwinds in Resins & Chemicals.
  • Segment profit was up 6% and segment margins expanded 80 bps to 21.6%, driven by productivity net of inflation, higher catalyst volumes, and acquisition integration excellence, partially offset by continued investments for growth.

  • Sales for the third quarter were down (2%) reported. Core organic sales were down (8%) in the quarter as a result of lower volume in Productivity Solutions associated with the USPS contract (which was completed in the third quarter of 2015), continued channel headwinds, and lower volumes in our Safety business. The difference between reported and core organic sales was due to the favorable impact from acquisitions, primarily Intelligrated.
  • Segment profit was down (11%) and segment margin contracted (140) bps to 14.7%, primarily driven by lower volumes and acquisition amortization and integration costs, partially offset by restructuring benefits and commercial excellence.

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.

Reported sales growth

Less: Foreign currency translation, acquisitions, divestitures and other

5%

Less: Raw materials pricing in R&C

PMT


Reported sales growth

5%

-



Core organic sales growth

(3%)



Throughout this press release, core organic sales growth refers to reported sales growth less the impacts from foreign currency translation, M&A and raw materials pass-through 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 tied to volume growth.


We believe core organic sales growth is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
