CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced results for the second quarter that met or exceeded the company's guidance. The company also updated its full-year sales, segment margin2, adjusted earnings per share2,3, and cash flow guidance ranges.
The company reported second-quarter year-over-year sales growth of 5% and organic1 sales growth of 4%, led by double digit organic1 sales growth in defense and space, commercial aviation, and building solutions. Operating income grew 5% and operating margin expanded 10 basis points to 20.7%, while segment profit1 grew 4% led by Aerospace Technologies. Segment margin1 contraction of 10 basis points was above the midpoint of our guidance range. Earnings per share for the second quarter was $2.36, up 6% year over year, and adjusted earnings per share1 was $2.49, up 8% year over year, above the high end of our guidance range. Operating cash flow was $1.4 billion and free cash flow1 was $1.1 billion, approximately flat year over year.
"Honeywell delivered a strong second quarter, once again meeting or exceeding guidance across all metrics while maneuvering through a dynamic operating environment," said Vimal Kapur, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell. "While Aerospace continues to lead our growth, we are seeing broader participation across our portfolio, with three of our four segments contributing positive growth for the quarter. All four segments grew sequentially in the quarter as well, giving us further confidence in our expectation of a second half organic growth acceleration."
Kapur continued, "We also made significant progress in our capital deployment strategy, deploying $6.4 billion to M&A, dividends, share repurchases, and capex, highlighted by the closing of our $5 billion acquisition of Access Solutions. We also recently announced two additional deals - the $1.9 billion acquisition of CAES Systems and the $1.8 billion acquisition of Air Products' LNG process technology and equipment business. We continue to make significant progress on my key priorities for Honeywell as we accelerate our alignment to three powerful megatrends - automation, the future of aviation, and energy transition, all underpinned by digitalization. Together, our technologically differentiated portfolio and world-class Honeywell Accelerator operating system are poised to further unlock incremental value and enable us to achieve our long-term financial framework."
As a result of the company's second-quarter performance and management's outlook for the remainder of the year, including the impact of recently announced acquisitions, Honeywell updated its full-year sales, segment margin2, adjusted earnings per share2,3, and cash flow1 guidance. Full-year sales are now expected to be $39.1 billion to $39.7 billion with organic1 sales growth in the range of 5% to 6%. Segment margin2 is now expected to be in the range of 23.3% to 23.5% with segment margin contraction2 of 20 basis points to flat year over year. Adjusted earnings per share2,3 is now expected to be in the range of $10.05 to $10.25, up 6% to 8% year over year. Operating cash flow is now expected to be in the range of $6.6 billion to $7.0 billion, with free cash flow1 of $5.5 billion to $5.9 billion. A summary of the company's full-year guidance can be found in Table 1.
Second-Quarter Performance
Honeywell sales for the second quarter were up 5% year over year on a reported basis and 4% on an organic1 basis year over year. The second-quarter financial results can be found in Tables 2 and 3.
Aerospace Technologies sales for the second quarter increased 16% on an organic1 basis year over year, the eighth consecutive quarter of double-digit organic growth, on sustained strength in both commercial aviation and defense and space. Commercial aviation was led by 17% growth in aftermarket sales as global flight activity continued to rise. Commercial original equipment sales once again grew double digits on increased shipset deliveries, particularly in air transport. Defense and space grew 19% year over year as sustained demand from the current geopolitical climate and further supply chain improvements enabled us to convert on our robust backlog. Segment margin contracted 60 basis points year over year to 27.2%, driven by mix pressure in original equipment, partially offset by commercial excellence net of inflation.
Industrial Automation sales for the second quarter decreased 8% on an organic1 basis year over year. Sales declines were primarily driven by volume softness in warehouse and workflow solutions. While sales declined in productivity solutions and services overall, they were up year over year and sequentially excluding the impact of payments under the license and settlement agreement that ended in the first quarter. Process solutions sales grew 1% in the second quarter as continued double-digit growth in aftermarket services was partially offset by softness in thermal solutions and smart energy. Sales in our sensing and safety technologies business declined year over year, but both orders and sales improved sequentially. Segment margin contracted 90 basis points to 19.0% due to lower volume leverage and the end of payments under the license and settlement agreement.
Building Automation sales for the second quarter increased 1% on an organic1 basis year over year and increased 10% sequentially including one month of benefit from the acquisition of our access solutions business. Building solutions delivered another solid quarter, growing 14% organically, as both projects and services grew double digits. The ongoing strength in building solutions was mostly offset by declines in building products, primarily driven by lower year over year volumes in fire and building management systems; however, both businesses saw improved sales quarter over quarter. Segment margin improved sequentially for the second consecutive quarter but contracted 60 basis points year over year to 25.3%, due to product mix headwinds and cost inflation, partially offset by productivity actions and commercial excellence.
Energy and Sustainability Solutions sales for the second quarter grew 3% on an organic1 basis year over year. Advanced materials once again led ESS with 8% sales growth, led by continued strength in fluorine products. UOP sales declined 4% in the quarter as a result of previously communicated difficult year-over-year comps from large gas processing equipment projects, partially offset by growth in refining catalysts and aftermarket services. Segment margin expanded 200 basis points to 25.2%, primarily driven by productivity actions.

2 | Segment margin and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment margin or adjusted EPS. We therefore, do not present a guidance range, or a reconciliation to, the nearest GAAP financial measures of operating margin or EPS. | |
3 | Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS V% guidance excludes items identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted EPS at the end of this release, and any potential future one-time items that we cannot reliably predict or estimate such as pension mark-to-market. |

Appendix
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain measures presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Honeywell's business.

We define organic sales percentage as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures, for the first 12 months following the transaction date. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic sales percent change has not been provided for forward-looking measures of organic sales percent 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.

We define operating income as net sales less total cost of products and services sold, research and development expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses. We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, certain acquisition-related costs, and repositioning and other charges. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit divided by net sales. 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 operating income to segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit and segment profit margin included herein. 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 operating income to segment profit will be included within future filings.
Acquisition amortization and acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions we complete and are not on a predictable cycle, and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

1 | For the three months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 654.2 million and 670.2 million, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 668.2 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, expected earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 655 million. | |
2 | Pension mark-to-market expense uses a blended tax rate of 18%, net of tax benefit of $27 million, for 2023. | |
3 | For the three months ended June 30, 2024, acquisition-related intangibles amortization includes approximately $66 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $19 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, acquisition-related intangibles amortization includes $48 million and $231 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $13 million and $61 million, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, expected acquisition-related intangibles amortization includes approximately $315 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $85 million. | |
4 | For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the adjustment for acquisition-related costs, which is principally comprised of third-party transaction and integration costs and acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, is approximately $22 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $7 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment for acquisition-related costs, which is principally comprised of third-party transaction and integration costs and acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, is approximately $1 million and $7 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $0 million and $2 million, respectively. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the expected adjustment for acquisition-related costs, which is principally comprised of third-party transaction and integration costs and acquisition-related fair value adjustments to inventory, is approximately $45 million, net of tax benefit of approximately $15 million. | |
5 | For the three months ended June 30, 2023, the adjustment was $1 million, without tax benefit. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was a benefit $3 million, without tax expense. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, the expected adjustment is a $17 million expense, without tax benefit, due to the settlement of a contractual dispute with a Russian entity associated with the Company's suspension and wind down activities in Russia. | |
6 | For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $8 million, net of tax benefit of $3 million, due to the net expense related to the NARCO Buyout and HWI Sale. | |
7 | Bendix Friction Materials ("Bendix") is a business no longer owned by the Company. In 2023, the Company changed its valuation methodology for calculating legacy Bendix liabilities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $330 million, net of tax benefit of $104 million (or $434 million pre-tax) due to a change in the estimated liability for resolution of asserted (claims filed as of the financial statement date) and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. The Company experienced fluctuations in average resolution values year-over-year in each of the past five years with no well-established trends in either direction. In 2023, the Company observed two consecutive years of increasing average resolution values (2023 and 2022), with more volatility in the earlier years of the five-year period (2019 through 2021). Based on these observations, the Company, during its annual review in the fourth quarter of 2023, reevaluated its valuation methodology and elected to give more weight to the two most recent years by shortening the look-back period from five years to two years (2023 and 2022). The Company believes that the average resolution values in the last two consecutive years are likely more representative of expected resolution values in future periods. The $434 million pre-tax amount was attributable primarily to shortening the look-back period to the two most recent years, and to a lesser extent to increasing expected resolution values for a subset of asserted claims to adjust for higher claim values in that subset than in the modelled two-year data set. It is not possible to predict whether such resolution values will increase, decrease, or stabilize in the future, given recent litigation trends within the tort system and the inherent uncertainty in predicting the outcome of such trends. The Company will continue to monitor Bendix claim resolution values and other trends within the tort system to assess the appropriate look-back period for determining average resolution values going forward. |
We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We believe adjusted earnings per share is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. For forward-looking information, 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. Based on economic and industry conditions, future developments, and other relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change.
Acquisition amortization and acquisition-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

We believe that free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by 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 measure can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
