"Honeywell had a terrific second quarter capping off a strong first half of 2015," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote.  "We delivered 3% core organic sales growth and had another quarter of double-digit earnings growth when normalized for tax.  We saw growth acceleration in both the short- and long-cycle businesses within Aerospace, continued growth in our commercial and industrial businesses within ACS, and higher volume across our Advanced Materials portfolio, particularly in Fluorine Products.  We saw margin expansion in each segment, with a significant portion from gross margin, as our new products, process focus, disciplined cost management, and restructuring continue to distinguish Honeywell's performance.  We remain committed to seed planting and process improvements throughout our portfolio.  Once again we proactively funded repositioning actions that will improve our cost position and drive the efficiencies necessary for winning in a slow growth global economy.  Our great first half performance gives us confidence to again raise the low end of our full-year EPS guidance range by $0.05 to $6.05-$6.15, and we remain committed to our full-year core organic sales growth and free cash flow estimates.  We believe that our balanced portfolio of short- and long-cycle businesses, penetration in High Growth Regions, and the deployment of our key process initiatives will continue to drive results this year and over the long term."

The company is updating its full-year 2015 guidance and now expects:

  • Sales for the second quarter were up 3% on a core organic basis, and were down 5% reported driven by the Friction Materials divestiture and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency in Transportation Systems. Commercial OE sales were up 6% on a reported and core organic basis driven by strong Business and General Aviation (BGA) engine shipments. Commercial Aftermarket sales were up 3% on a core organic basis (2% reported) driven by continued growth in repair and overhaul activities and Air Transport and Regional (ATR) spares growth, partially offset by a decline in RMU (Retrofit, Modifications, and Upgrades) sales in BGA. Defense & Space sales increased 1% on a core organic basis (flat reported) driven by strong international growth, partially offset by lower sales to the U.S. government. Transportation Systems sales were up 5% on a core organic basis driven by new platform launches and higher gas turbo penetration globally. TS sales were down 25% reported due to the Friction Materials divestiture and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency.
  • Segment profit was up 2% and segment margins expanded 140 bps to 20.3%, driven by commercial excellence, the favorable impact of the Friction Materials divestiture, foreign currency hedges, and productivity net of inflation, partially offset by the margin impact of higher OE shipments.

Energy, Safety, and Security (ESS) sales increased 5% on a core organic basis (flat reported) driven primarily by continued growth in Scanning & Mobility, Security, and Fire Safety. Building Solutions & Distribution (BSD) sales increased 3% on a core organic basis (down 4% reported) driven by continued strength in Americas Distribution.
  • Segment profit was up 6% and segment margins expanded 120 bps to 16.0% driven by productivity net of inflation and higher volume, partially offset by continued investments for growth.

  • Sales were down 1% on a core organic basis and down 9% reported driven by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency and raw materials pricing in Resins & Chemicals. The decrease in core organic sales was primarily driven by lower volume in UOP and HPS associated with delays in customer projects and lower UOP catalyst shipments, partially offset by higher volume across Advanced Materials, particularly in Fluorine Products.
  • Segment profit was up 7% and segment margins increased 330 bps to 21.3%, driven by productivity net of inflation, commercial excellence, and the impact of raw materials pricing in Resins & Chemicals.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon certain assumptions and assessments made by our management in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and other factors they believe to be appropriate. The forward-looking statements included in this release are also subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to economic, competitive, governmental, and technological factors affecting our operations, markets, products, services and prices.

*Throughout this press release, core organic sales growth refers to reported sales 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 sales growth to reported sales growth is provided in the attached financial tables.

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 Core Organic Sales Growth (Unaudited)







Three Months Ended


June 30,


2015

Honeywell


Reported sales growth

(5%)

Foreign currency, acquisitions, divestitures and other

7%

Raw Materials Pricing in R&C

1%



Core organic sales growth

3%



PMT


Reported sales growth

(9%)

Foreign currency, acquisitions, divestitures and other

4%

Raw Materials Pricing in R&C

4%



Core organic sales growth

(1%)



 

Throughout this press release, core organic sales growth refers to reported sales 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.


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.  

 

Honeywell International Inc.

Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions)















Twelve Months Ended

2014





Cash provided by operating activities



$      5,024





Expenditures for property, plant and equipment



(1,094)





Free cash flow



$      3,930





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.

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.   


EPS utilizes weighted average shares outstanding - assuming dilution of 795.2 million. Pension mark-to-market adjustment uses a blended tax rate of 28.1%.
