Management Commentary

"The second quarter marked a historic milestone for Honeywell Technologies as we completed the separation of Honeywell Aerospace and began a new era as a leading pure-play automation company. The results we delivered this quarter are the outcome of a year-plus long process to simplify our business, and we are already seeing the benefits of this transformation today. Honeywell Technologies delivered strong organic orders and sales growth, and 100 basis points of segment margin expansion, leading to double digit earnings growth in the second quarter and reinforcing our confidence in the long-term targets that we shared at our recent investor day. As a simplified company, Honeywell Technologies is now positioned to further accelerate profitable growth as we leverage our deep domain expertise and vast installed base to create enduring value for our shareowners," said Vimal Kapur, chairman and chief executive officer of Honeywell Technologies.

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 and 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.

With respect to historical periods, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures, spin-off and separation-related cost payments, Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment, cash payment for settlement of the divestiture of asbestos liabilities, and cash flows attributable to Quantinuum. With respect to the company’s outlook for 2026, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures,  spin-off and separation-related cost payments, and cash flows attributable to Quantinuum.

2026 Outlook

Honeywell Technologies is updating its full-year outlook after a strong second quarter and improved organic growth fundamentals for process and industrial in the second half. The company now expects full-year sales of $19.8 billion to $20.0 billion with organic1 sales growth of 3% to 4%, and 4% to 6% organic1 growth in the second half. The company now expects segment margin1 in the range of 20.1% to 20.5% with segment margin1 expansion of 250 to 290 basis points year over year; and adjusted earnings per share1 in the range of $8.05 to $8.35, up 25% to 29%. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $2.1 billion, while free cash flow1 expectations are unchanged at approximately $2.0 billion for the full year. Guidance incorporates expected results for the acquisition of Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies business, which closed on July 17, 2026, and the expected close of the Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) business divestitures by early August.

Honeywell Aerospace

The former Aerospace Technologies segment now operates independently as Honeywell Aerospace and trades under the ticker symbol "HONA" following its spin-off from Honeywell Technologies on June 29. Consistent with precedent spin-off transactions, Honeywell Aerospace's financial results may differ from Aerospace Technologies financial information for the former segment due to the perimeter of the transaction, allocation of Honeywell Technologies corporate costs, and treatment of intracompany transactions, among other items, for both current and prior reporting periods. Because the creation of carve-out financial statements requires a lengthier closing process, Honeywell Aerospace announced that it will issue its second quarter results on a standalone basis after market close on August 5.

The information below represents results for the former Aerospace Technologies segment on a basis consistent with Honeywell Technologies on a consolidated basis. Please refer to Honeywell Technologies' quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2026 for information on results for or including the former Aerospace Technologies segment.

In the second quarter, Aerospace Technologies segment sales of $4.5 billion grew 5% organically year over year. Mechanical supply chain showed sequential improvement during the quarter though material supply continued to limit sales growth across end markets. Sales growth was led by a 17% increase in Commercial aviation original equipment due to shipments recoupling to build schedules, particularly in commercial air transport, and a 7% increase in Commercial aviation aftermarket driven by increasing demand from the installed base. Defense and space sales were flat as continued strong demand was constrained by output and program timing. Segment profit grew 2% from the prior year to $1.1 billion, which included approximately $40 million of inventory obsolescence charges related to lower demand for pockets of existing inventory stock driven by emerging repair technologies extending product lives.
