UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at
June 30, 2018
and for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report to Shareowners (
2017
Annual Report) incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year
2017
(
2017
Form 10-K).
Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Business Acquisitions and Dispositions.
During the six months ended
June 30, 2018
, our investment in business acquisitions was
$134 million
, and primarily consisted of an acquisition at Pratt & Whitney. On June 21, 2018, UTC Climate, Controls & Security completed its sale of Taylor Company for proceeds of
$1.0 billion
resulting in a pre-tax gain of
$795 million
(
$588 million
after tax).
On
September 4, 2017
, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with
Rockwell Collins, Inc. (Rockwell Collins)
, under which we agreed to acquire Rockwell Collins. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each Rockwell Collins shareowner will receive
$93.33
per share in cash and a fraction of a share of UTC common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing
$46.67
by the average of the volume-weighted average prices per share of UTC common stock on the NYSE on each of the 20 consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately prior to the closing date, (the “UTC Stock Price”), subject to adjustment based on a two-way collar mechanism as described below (the “Stock Consideration”). The cash and UTC stock payable in exchange for each such share of Rockwell Collins common stock are collectively the “Merger Consideration.” The fraction of a share of UTC common stock into which each such share of Rockwell Collins common stock will be converted is the “Exchange Ratio.” The Exchange Ratio will be determined based upon the UTC Stock Price. If the UTC Stock Price is greater than $107.01 but less than $124.37, the Exchange Ratio will be equal to the quotient of (i) $46.67 divided by (ii) the UTC Stock Price, which, in each case, will result in the Stock Consideration having a value equal to $46.67. If the UTC Stock Price is less than or equal to $107.01 or greater than or equal to $124.37, then a two-way collar mechanism will apply, pursuant to which, (x) if the UTC Stock Price is greater than or equal to $124.37, the Exchange Ratio will be fixed at 0.37525 and the value of the Stock Consideration will be greater than $46.67, and (y) if the UTC Stock Price is less than or equal to $107.01, the Exchange Ratio will be fixed at 0.43613 and the value of the Stock Consideration will be less than $46.67. On January 11, 2018, the merger was approved by Rockwell Collins' shareowners.
We currently expect that the merger will be completed in the third quarter of 2018, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of required regulatory approvals.
We anticipate that approximately
$15 billion
will be required to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration. We expect to fund the cash portion of the Merger Consideration through debt issuances and cash on hand. Additionally, we have entered into a
$6.5 billion
364-day unsecured bridge loan credit agreement that would be funded only to the extent certain anticipated debt issuances are not completed prior to the completion of the merger. We expect to assume approximately
$7 billion
of Rockwell Collins' outstanding debt upon completion of the merger.

Customer relationship intangible assets include payments made to our customers to secure certain contractual rights. Such payments are capitalized when distinct rights are obtained and sufficient incremental cash flows to support the recoverability of the assets have been established. Otherwise, the applicable portion of the payments are expensed. We amortize these intangible assets based on the underlying pattern of economic benefit, which may result in an amortization method other than straight-line. In the aerospace industry, amortization based on the pattern of economic benefit generally results in lower amortization expense during the development period with amortization expense increasing as programs enter full production and aftermarket cycles. If a pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. We classify amortization of such payments as a reduction of sales. The collaboration intangible assets are amortized based upon the pattern of economic benefits as represented by the underlying cash flows.
Amortization of intangible assets for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
was
$232 million
and
$455 million
, respectively, compared with
$210 million
and
$415 million
for the same periods of
2017
. The following is the expected amortization of intangible assets for the years
2018
through
2023
, which reflects the pattern of expected economic benefit on certain aerospace intangible assets.

Note 2: Revenue Recognition
ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, the New Revenue Standard) are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein. We adopted the New Revenue Standard effective January 1, 2018 and elected the modified retrospective approach. The results for periods before 2018 were not adjusted for the new standard and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting was recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption.
Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary.
We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606:
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. Under Topic 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Some of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, while others contain multiple performance obligations most commonly when a contract spans multiple phases of the product life-cycle such as development, production, maintenance and support. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price.
We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assess variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, contract incentive payments, estimates of award fees, and other sources of variable consideration, when determining the transaction price of each contract. We include variable consideration in the
estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. We also consider whether our contracts provide customers with significant financing. Generally, our contracts do not contain significant financing.
Point in time revenue recognition.
Timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations varies across our businesses due to our diverse product and service mix, customer base, and contractual terms. Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, certain alarm and fire detection and suppression systems, and certain aerospace components, engines, and spare parts. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, generally upon product shipment.
Over-time revenue recognition.
Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as we perform work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and we have a contractual right to payment. Revenue is recognized for our construction-type and certain production-type contracts on an over-time basis. We recognize revenue on an over-time basis on certain long-term aerospace aftermarket contracts and aftermarket service work; development, fixed price, and other cost reimbursement contracts in our aerospace businesses; and elevator and escalator sales, installation, service, modernization and other construction contracts in our commercial businesses. For construction and installation contracts within our commercial businesses and aerospace performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials, and subcontractors' costs, or other direct costs, and where applicable on government and commercial contracts, indirect costs.
For certain of our long-term aftermarket contracts, revenue is recognized over the contract period. In the commercial businesses, revenue is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. In the aerospace businesses, we generally account for such contracts as a series of daily obligations to stand ready to provide product maintenance and aftermarket services. Revenue is primarily recognized in proportion to cost as sufficient historical evidence indicates that the cost of performing services under the contract is incurred on an other than straight-line basis. Aerospace contract modifications are routine and contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct are accounted for as part of the existing contract.
We incur costs for engineering and development of aerospace products directly related to existing or anticipated contracts with customers. Such costs generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. We capitalize these costs as contract fulfillment costs to the extent the costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin and subsequently amortize the costs as the original equipment (OEM) products are delivered to the customer. In instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer, we defer the customer funding of OEM product engineering and development and recognize revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Costs to obtain contracts are not material.
Loss provisions on OEM contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated contract costs exceed the estimated consideration from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. For new commitments, we generally record loss provisions at the earlier of contract announcement or contract signing except for certain contracts under which losses are recorded upon receipt of the purchase order that obligates us to perform. For existing commitments, anticipated losses on contractual arrangements are recognized in the period in which losses become evident. Products contemplated under contractual arrangements include firm quantities of product sold under contract and, in the large commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, future highly probable sales of replacement parts required by regulation that are expected to be sold subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. In the large commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, when the combined original equipment and aftermarket arrangement for each individual sales campaign are profitable, we record original equipment product losses, as applicable, at the time of delivery.
We review our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis and for others, no less frequently than annually or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method.
The New Revenue Standard
changed the revenue recognition practices for a number of revenue streams across our businesses, although the most significant impacts are concentrated in our aerospace units. Several businesses, which previously accounted for revenue on a point in time basis are now required to use an over-time model when their contracts meet one or more of the mandatory criteria established in the New Revenue Standard. Revenue is now recognized based on percentage-of-completion for repair contracts within Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security; certain U.S. Government and commercial aerospace equipment contracts; and aerospace aftermarket service work. For these businesses, unrecognized sales related to the satisfied portion of the performance obligations of contracts in process as of the date of adoption of approximately
$220 million
were recorded through retained earnings. The ongoing effect of recording revenue on a percentage-of-completion basis within these businesses is not expected to be materially different than the previous revenue recognition method.
In addition to the foregoing, our aerospace businesses, in certain cases, also changed the timing of manufacturing cost recognition and certain engineering and development costs. In most circumstances, our commercial aerospace businesses identify the performance obligation as the individual OEM unit; revenue and cost to manufacture each unit are recognized upon OEM unit delivery. Under the prior accounting, the unit of accounting was the contract and early-contract OEM unit costs in excess of the average unit costs expected over the contract were capitalized and amortized over lower-cost units later in the contract. With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, deferred unit costs in excess of the contract average of
$438 million
as of January 1, 2018 were eliminated through retained earnings, and as such, will not be amortized into future earnings.
Under the New Revenue Standard, costs incurred for engineering and development of aerospace products under contracts with customers must be capitalized as contract fulfillment costs, to the extent recoverable from the associated contract margin, and subsequently amortized as the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Under prior accounting, we generally expensed costs of engineering and development of aerospace products. The new standard also requires that customer funding of OEM product engineering and development be deferred in instances where economic benefit does not transfer to the customer and recognized as revenue when the OEM products are delivered. Engineering and development costs which do not qualify for capitalization as contract fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred. Prior to the New Revenue Standard, any customer funding received for such development efforts was recognized when earned, with the corresponding costs recognized as cost of sales.
With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, we capitalized engineering and development costs of approximately
$700 million
as contract fulfillment cost assets through retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. We also established previously recognized customer funding of approximately
$850 million
as a contract liability through retained earnings as of the adoption date.
We expect the New Revenue Standard will have an immaterial impact on our 2018 net income. Adoption of the New Revenue Standard has resulted in Statement of Operations classification changes between Net Sales, Cost of sales, Research & development, and Other income. The New Revenue Standard also resulted in the establishment of Contract asset and Contract liability balance sheet accounts, and in the reclassification of balances to these new accounts from Accounts receivable, Inventories and contracts in progress, net, and Accrued liabilities. In addition to the following disclosures, Note 16 provides incremental disclosures required by the New Revenue Standard, including disaggregation of revenue into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows are affected by economic factors.
The following schedules quantify the impact of the New Revenue Standard on the statement of operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
. The effect of the new standard represents the increase (decrease) in the line item based on the adoption of the New Revenue Standard.

The New Revenue Standard resulted in an increase to Product and Service sales and Cost of products and services sold primarily due to the change to a percentage-of-completion revenue model for certain U.S Government and commercial aerospace equipment contracts, and aerospace aftermarket service work at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. The New Revenue Standard also resulted in an increase in Cost of products sold related to the timing of manufacturing cost recognition on early-contract OEM units sold, with costs in excess of the contract average unit costs recorded through Cost of products sold.
The lower amounts of research and development expense recognized under the New Revenue Standard reflect the capitalization of costs of engineering and development of aerospace products as contract fulfillment costs under contracts with customers.
The following schedule quantifies the impact of the New Revenue Standard on our balance sheet as of
June 30, 2018

The decrease in Retained earnings of
$490 million
in the table above reflects
$480 million
of adjustments to the balance sheet as of January 1, 2018, resulting from the adoption of the New Revenue Standard and
$10 million
lower reported net income under the New Revenue Standard during 2018. The declines in Accounts receivable, net, Inventories, Other assets, current, and Intangible assets, net, reflect reclassifications to contract assets, and specifically for Inventories, earlier recognition of costs of products sold for contracts requiring an over-time method of revenue recognition. The increase in Other assets reflects the establishment of non-current contract assets and contract fulfillment cost assets.
The decline in accrued liabilities is primarily due to the reclassification of payments from customers in advance of work performed as contract liabilities. The Other long term liabilities increase primarily reflects the establishment of non-current contract liabilities for certain customer funding of OEM product engineering and development, which will be recognized as revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer.
Contract Assets and Liabilities.
Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of
June 30, 2018
are as follows:

Under the New Revenue Standard, during the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, net contract liabilities increased to
$6,202 million
. This reflects the establishment of
$6,365 million
of net contract liabilities upon the adoption, and
$14,401 million
of advance payments from customers and reclassifications of contract assets to receivables upon billing during the period. These increases were partially offset by the liquidation of beginning of period contract liabilities of
$1,728 million
as a result of revenue recognition, and by
$12,701 million
of revenue recognition within the period. The remaining change is primarily attributable to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes on the balance of contract assets and liabilities.
Remaining performance obligations
("RPO") are the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of
June 30, 2018
, our total RPO is
$103.4 billion
. Of this total, we expect approximately
45%
will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. For both the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately
5.1 million
. For the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2017
, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately
5.8 million
and
6.4 million
, respectively.

Inventories as of
December 31, 2017
include capitalized contract development costs of
$127 million
related to certain aerospace programs at UTC Aerospace Systems. Upon adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these costs are recorded as contract fulfillment costs included in Other assets.
Prior to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, within our commercial aerospace business, inventory costs attributable to new engine offerings were recognized based on the average cost per unit expected over the life of each contract using the units-of-delivery method of percentage of completion accounting. Under this method, costs of initial engine deliveries in excess of the projected contract per unit average cost were capitalized and these capitalized amounts were subsequently expensed as additional engines are delivered for engines with costs below the projected contract per unit average cost over the life of the contract. As of
December 31, 2017
, inventory included
$438 million
of such capitalized amounts. Upon adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these amounts are no longer included in inventory. In addition, amounts previously reported as Contracts in progress have been reclassified as contract assets in accordance with the New Revenue Standard.

At
June 30, 2018
, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to
$4.35 billion
, pursuant to a
$2.20 billion
revolving credit agreement and a
$2.15 billion
multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in
August 2021
. As of
June 30, 2018
, there were no borrowings under either of these agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of
June 30, 2018
, our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was
$4.35 billion
. Commercial paper borrowings at
June 30, 2018
include approximately
€750 million
(
$876 million
) of euro-denominated commercial paper. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. The need for commercial paper borrowings arises when the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.
On
May 18, 2018
, we issued
€750 million
aggregate principal amount of 1.150% senior notes due
2024
,
€500 million
aggregate principal amount of 2.150% senior notes maturing
2030
and
€750 million
aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes maturing
2020
. The net proceeds received from these debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes.
On
May 4, 2018
, we repaid at maturity approximately
$1.1 billion
aggregate principal amount of 1.778% junior subordinated notes.
On
February 1, 2018
, we repaid at maturity the
$99 million
6.80% notes due in 2018 and on
February 22, 2018
, we repaid at maturity the
€750 million
EURIBOR plus 0.80% floating rate notes due in 2018.
In connection with the merger agreement with Rockwell Collins announced on September 4, 2017, we have entered into a
$6.5 billion
364-day unsecured bridge loan credit agreement that would be funded only to the extent certain anticipated debt issuances are not completed prior to the completion of the merger. See Note 1 for additional discussion.

Note 6: Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017 Public Law 115-97 “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” was enacted. This law is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) issued on December 22, 2017, the U.S. income tax amounts recorded attributable to the TCJA’s deemed repatriation provision, the revaluation of U.S. deferred taxes and the tax consequences relating to states with current conformity to the Internal Revenue Code are provisional amounts. Due to the enactment date and tax complexities of the TCJA, the Company has not completed its accounting related to these items.
Prior to enactment of the TCJA, with few exceptions, U.S. income taxes had not been provided on undistributed earnings of UTC's international subsidiaries as the Company had intended to reinvest such earnings permanently outside the U.S. or to repatriate such earnings only when it was tax effective to do so. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the TCJA on its existing accounting position related to the undistributed earnings. Due to the inherent complexities in determining any incremental U.S. Federal and State taxes and the non-U.S. taxes that may be due if all of these earnings were remitted to the U.S. and as provided for by SAB 118 this evaluation has not yet been completed and no provisional amount has been recorded in regard to the undistributed amounts. After completing its evaluation, the Company will accrue any additional taxes due on previously undistributed earnings to be distributed in the future.
The Company will continue to accumulate and refine the relevant data and computational elements needed to finalize its accounting for the effects of the TCJA by December 22, 2018.
We conduct business globally and, as a result, UTC or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2006.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. It is reasonably possible that a net reduction within the range of $
50 million
to $
625 million
of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months as a result of additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the closure of tax statutes, or the revaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from the issuance of legislation, regulatory or other guidance or developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts. The range of potential change includes provisional amounts related to the TCJA based on currently available information. See Note 15, Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions, included in the above range, related to pending litigation with respect to certain deductions claimed in Germany.
The Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing UTC tax years 2014, 2015 and 2016, and the audit is expected to continue beyond 2018.
Note 7: Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Postretirement Plans.
We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07,
Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715), Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost
. This ASU requires an employer to report the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost in the same line item or items as other compensation
costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period, with other cost components presented separately from the service cost component and outside of income from operations. This ASU also allows only the service cost component of net periodic pension benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization when applicable. This ASU was effective for years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018 applying the presentation requirements retrospectively. We elected to apply the practical expedient, which allows us to reclassify amounts disclosed previously in the employee benefit plans note as the basis for applying retrospective presentation for comparative periods as it is impracticable to determine the disaggregation of the cost components for amounts capitalized and amortized in those periods. Provisions related to presentation of the service cost component eligibility for capitalization were applied prospectively.
The effect of the retrospective presentation change related to the net periodic benefit cost of our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans on our condensed consolidated statement of operations was as follows:

As approved in 2016, effective January 1, 2017, a voluntary lump-sum option is available for the frozen final average earnings benefits of certain U.S. salaried employees upon termination of employment after 2016. This option provides participants with the choice of electing to receive a lump-sum payment in lieu of receiving a future monthly pension benefit. This plan change reduced the projected benefit obligation by
$170 million
as of December 31, 2016.

2016
and Prior Actions.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling
$9 million
for restructuring actions initiated in
2016
and prior.
As of June 30, 2018
, we have approximately
$91 million
of accrual balances remaining related to
2016
and prior actions.
Note 9: Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures.
The four quarter rolling average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was
$20.5 billion
and
$19.1 billion
at
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively.
The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivative instruments as of
June 30, 2018
and

The table above reflects the effect of cash flow hedging relationships on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
. The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective.
We have approximately €4.95 billion of euro-denominated long-term debt and €750 million of euro-denominated commercial paper borrowings outstanding, which qualify as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses
.
As of June 30, 2018, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective.
Assuming current market conditions continue, a
$33 million
pre-tax loss is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product sales to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months. At
June 30, 2018
, all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges will mature by
July 2022
.
The effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments that is included below within Other income, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was as follows:

Valuation Techniques.
Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally, and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks. As of
June 30, 2018
, there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1 and Level 2.
As of
June 30, 2018
, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.
The following table provides carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017

We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments totaling approximately
$15.2 billion
and
$15.3 billion
as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively, related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms. Associated risks on these commitments from changes in interest rates are mitigated because interest rates are variable during the commitment term and are set at the date of funding based on current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these financings is expected to equal the amounts funded.
Note 11: Long-Term Financing Receivables
Our long-term financing receivables primarily represent balances related to our aerospace businesses, such as long-term trade accounts receivable, notes receivable, and leases receivable. We also have other long-term receivables related to our commercial businesses; however, both the individual and aggregate amounts of those other receivables are not significant.
Prior to the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, long-term trade accounts receivable, including unbilled receivables related to long-term aftermarket contracts, were principally amounts arising from the sale of goods and the delivery of services with a contract maturity date or realization period of greater than one year and were recognized as "Other assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. With the adoption of the New Revenue Standard, these unbilled receivables are classified as non-current contract assets and are recognized as "Other assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Notes and leases receivable represent notes and lease receivables other than receivables related to operating leases, and are recognized as "Customer financing assets" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table summarizes the balance by class of aerospace business related long-term receivables as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
.

Customer credit ratings range from customers with an extremely strong capacity to meet financial obligations to customers whose uncollateralized receivables are in default. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from estimates or that consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses on long-term receivables. The decrease in Long-term trade accounts receivable from December 31, 2017 is primarily driven by the reclassification of unbilled receivables related to long-term aftermarket contracts to contract assets in accordance with the New Revenue Standard as described above. Based upon the customer credit ratings, approximately
$140 million
and
$170 million
of our total long-term receivables were considered to bear high credit risk as of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively.
For long-term trade accounts receivable, we evaluate credit risk and collectability individually to determine if an allowance is necessary. Our long-term receivables reflected in the table above, which include reserves of
$17 million
as of both
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, are individually evaluated for impairment. At
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, we did not have any significant balances that are considered to be delinquent, on non-accrual status, past due 90 days or more, or are considered to be unrecoverable.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01,
Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
. This ASU modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Upon adoption, investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method generally must be carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We had approximately $5 million of unrealized gains on these securities recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, with these amounts recorded directly to retained earnings as of that date.
Amounts reclassified that relate to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include the amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented (see Note 7 for additional details).
Amounts reclassified that relate to unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, pre-tax includes approximately
$380 million
of previously unrealized gains reclassified to other income as a result of sales of significant investments in available-for-sale securities in the six months ended June 30, 2017, including UTC Climate, Controls & Security's sale of investments in Watsco, Inc.
All noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely within our control (redeemable noncontrolling interests) are reported in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, between liabilities and equity, at the greater of redemption value or initial carrying value.
Note 13: Variable Interest Entities
Pratt & Whitney holds a net 61% interest in the IAE International Aero Engines AG (IAE) collaboration with MTU Aero Engines AG (MTU) and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC) and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE. IAE's business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support of the V2500 program through involvement with the collaborators.
Additionally, Pratt & Whitney, JAEC and MTU are participants in International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC), whose business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft and the PW1400G-JM engine for the Irkut MC21 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney holds a 59% net interest and a 59% ownership interest in IAE LLC. IAE and IAE LLC retain limited equity with the primary economics of the programs passed to the participants.
As such, we have determined that IAE and IAE LLC are variable interest entities with Pratt & Whitney the primary beneficiary. IAE and IAE LLC have, therefore, been consolidated. The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities for variable interest entities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

Note 15: Contingent Liabilities
Summarized below are the matters previously described in Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our
2017
Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our
2017
Form 10-K, updated as applicable.
Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Environmental.
Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our
2017
Annual Report, we have accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassess these amounts. We believe that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote. Additional information pertaining to environmental matters is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our
2017
Annual Report.
Government.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries and our properties are subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations and threatened legal actions and proceedings. For example, we are now, and believe that, in light of the current U.S. Government contracting environment, we will continue to be the subject of one or more U.S. Government investigations. Such U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, treble and other damages, forfeitures, restitution or penalties, or could lead to suspension or debarment of U.S. Government contracting or of export privileges. For instance, if we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations or other government investigations (including violations of certain anti-bribery, environmental or export laws) the U.S. Government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. Government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. Government could fine and debar us from new U.S. Government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. The U.S. Government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. The U.S. Government could also void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports which recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations, including because cost or pricing data we submitted in negotiation of the contract prices or cost accounting practices may not have conformed to government regulations, or that certain payments be delayed or withheld. Some of these audit reports
involved substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate, have settled some allegations and continue to litigate or challenge certain matters. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most likely settlement amount to be incurred is accrued based upon a range of estimates. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, then we accrued the minimum amount.
Legal Proceedings.
Cost Accounting Standards Claim
As previously disclosed, in December 2013, a Divisional Administrative Contracting Officer of the United States Defense Contract Management Agency asserted a claim against Pratt & Whitney to recover overpayments of approximately $177 million plus interest (approximately $76.5 million through June 30, 2018). The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney's alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012, due to its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts used in the calculation of material overhead costs for government contracts.
On March 18, 2014, Pratt & Whitney filed an appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. Pratt & Whitney’s appeal is still pending and we continue to believe the government’s claim is without merit.
German Tax Litigation
As previously disclosed, UTC has been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $252 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of Otis operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. UTC estimates interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $138 million). On August 3, 2012, we filed suit in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed our suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court (FTC). The FTC held a hearing on our appeal on July 24, 2018, and we expect it to issue a decision during the third quarter of 2018.
In 2015, UTC made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter.
Asbestos Matters
As previously disclosed, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain of our products or business premises. While we have never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any currently-manufactured products, certain of our historical products, like those of many other manufacturers, have contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any year.
Our estimated total liability to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately
$333 million
and is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 2018
. This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and excludes the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately
$146 million
, which is included primarily in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of
June 30, 2018
.
The amounts recorded by UTC for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Our actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the assumptions. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the outcomes or resolution of such claims, the average cost of resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available, allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer with whom we have reached settlements, the resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom we have not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk with respect to our insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect our future liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal legislation. At least annually, the Company evaluates all of these factors and, with input from an outside actuarial expert, makes any necessary adjustments to both our estimated asbestos liabilities and insurance recoveries.
Other.
As described in Note 14 of this Form 10-Q and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our
2017
Annual Report, we extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also routinely defendants in, parties to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some instances, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Note 16: Segment Financial Data
Our operations are classified into four principal segments: Otis, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, Pratt & Whitney, and UTC Aerospace Systems. The segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. As discussed in Note 7, 2017 amounts have been recast based on the adoption of ASU 2017-07.
Total sales by segment include inter-segment sales, which are generally made at prices approximating those that the selling entity is able to obtain on external sales. Results for the
quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
are as follows:

Note 17: Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases (Topic 842)
. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, this standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating.
ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases and lessors for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We expect that upon adoption we will recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities and that the amounts could be material. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our cash flows or results of operations.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02,
Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)
. The new standard allows companies to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from the newly-enacted US Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements. However, we expect that upon adoption we will recognize a reclassification from AOCI to retained earnings that could be material. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our cash flows and results of operations.
With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of UTC for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated
July 27, 2018
, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareowners and Board of Directors of United Technologies Corporation
Results of Review of Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2018, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and of comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Corporation as of December 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 8, 2018, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Corporation’s management.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Corporation in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of high technology products and services to the building systems and aerospace industries. Our operations for the periods presented herein are classified into four principal business segments: Otis, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, Pratt & Whitney, and UTC Aerospace Systems. Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security are referred to as the "commercial businesses," while Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems are referred to as the "aerospace businesses."
The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in
2018
is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the "Business Overview" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our
2017
Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in our
2017
Form 10-K.
General
Our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic and political factors on both a regional and global level. To limit the impact of any one industry, or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, our strategy has been, and continues to be, the maintenance of a balanced and diversified portfolio of businesses. Our operations include original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and extensive related aftermarket parts and services in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. Our business mix also reflects the combination of shorter cycles at UTC Climate, Controls & Security and in our commercial aerospace spares businesses, and longer cycles at Otis and in our aerospace OEM and aftermarket maintenance businesses. Our customers are in the public and private sectors, and our businesses reflect an extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with continued globalization.
Our military businesses' sales are affected by U.S. Department of Defense budget and spending levels. Total sales to the U.S. Government were $1.8 billion and $1.4 billion for the
quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
, 11% and 9% of total UTC sales for those periods, respectively. The defense portion of our aerospace business is affected by changes in market demand and the global political environment. Our participation in long-term production, development and sustainment programs for the U.S. Government has and is expected to contribute positively to our results in 2018.
Acquisition Activity
Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions. Our operations and results can be affected by the rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated, and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved. During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, our investment in business acquisitions was
$134 million
, which primarily reflects an acquisition at Pratt & Whitney. On September 4, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Rockwell Collins, under which we agreed to acquire Rockwell Collins. See Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for additional discussion.
We do not expect to have additional significant acquisition spend, other than the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins.
However, actual acquisition spending may vary depending upon the timing, availability and value of acquisition opportunities. To help manage the cash flow and liquidity resulting from the pending acquisition, we have suspended share repurchases, excluding activity relating to our equity award programs and employee savings plans.
Other
Government legislation, policies and regulations can have a negative impact on our worldwide operations. Government regulation of refrigerants and energy efficiency standards, elevator safety codes and fire protection regulations are important to our commercial businesses. Government and market-driven safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions, and government procurement practices can impact our aerospace and defense businesses.
Global economic and political conditions, changes in raw material and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, energy costs, levels of end market demand in construction, levels of air travel, the financial condition of commercial airlines, and the impact from natural disasters and weather conditions create uncertainties that could impact our earnings outlook for the remainder of
2018
. See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our
2017
Form 10-K for further discussion.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our
2017
Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our
2017
Form 10-K, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates.
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09 and its related amendments (collectively, the New Revenue Standard) and elected the modified retrospective approach.
Revenue Recognition Accounting Policy Summary.
We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606:
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
. Under Topic 606, a performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Some of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, while others contain multiple performance obligations most commonly when a contract spans multiple phases of the product life-cycle such as development, production, maintenance and support. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price.
We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assess variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, contract incentive payments, estimates of award fees, and other sources of variable consideration, when determining the transaction price of each contract. We include variable consideration in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. We also consider whether our contracts provide customers with significant financing. Generally, our contracts do not contain significant financing.
Point in time revenue recognition.
Timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations varies across our businesses due to our diverse product and service mix, customer base, and contractual terms. Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time for heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems, certain alarm and fire detection and suppression systems, and certain aerospace components, engines, and spare parts. Revenue is recognized when control of the product transfers to the customer, generally upon product shipment.
Over-time revenue recognition.
Performance obligations are satisfied over-time if the customer receives the benefits as we perform work, if the customer controls the asset as it is being produced, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and we have a contractual right to payment. Revenue is recognized for our construction-type and certain production-type contracts on an over-time basis. We recognize revenue on an over-time basis on certain long-term aerospace aftermarket contracts and aftermarket service work; development, fixed price, and other cost reimbursement contracts in our aerospace businesses; and elevator and escalator sales, installation, service, modernization and other construction contracts in our commercial businesses. For construction and installation contracts within our commercial businesses and aerospace performance obligations satisfied over time, revenue is recognized using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure progress. Incurred costs represent work performed, which correspond with and best depict transfer of control to the customer. Contract costs include labor, materials, and subcontractors' costs, or other direct costs, and where applicable on government and commercial contracts, indirect costs.
For certain of our long-term aftermarket contracts, revenue is recognized over the contract period. In the commercial businesses, revenue is primarily recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period. In the aerospace businesses, we generally account for such contracts as a series of daily obligations to stand ready to provide product maintenance and aftermarket services. Revenue is primarily recognized in proportion to cost as sufficient historical evidence indicates that the cost of performing services under the contract is incurred on an other than straight-line basis. Aerospace contract modifications are routine and contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications or requirements. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct are accounted for as part of the existing contract.
We incur costs for engineering and development of aerospace products directly related to existing or anticipated contracts with customers. Such costs generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. We capitalize these costs as contract fulfillment costs to the extent the costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin and subsequently amortize the costs as the original equipment (OEM) products are delivered to the customer. In instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer, we defer the customer funding of OEM product engineering and development and recognize revenue when the OEM products are delivered to the customer. Costs to obtain contracts are not material.
Loss provisions on OEM contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated contract costs exceed the estimated consideration from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. For new commitments, we generally record loss provisions at the earlier of contract announcement or contract signing except for certain contracts under which losses are recorded upon receipt of the purchase order that obligates us to perform. For existing commitments, anticipated losses on contractual arrangements are recognized in the period in which losses become evident. Products contemplated under contractual
arrangements include firm quantities of product sold under contract and, in the large commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, future highly probable sales of replacement parts required by regulation that are expected to be sold subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. In the large commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, when the combined original equipment and aftermarket arrangement for each individual sales campaign are profitable, we record original equipment product losses, as applicable, at the time of delivery.
We review our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis and for others, no less frequently than annually or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method.
Note 2 of the condensed consolidated financial statements contains further detail regarding the adoption of the New Revenue Standard and its impact on the statement of operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
and the balance sheet as of
June 30, 2018

All four segments experienced organic sales growth for both the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
, Pratt & Whitney sales grew 12% organically, driven by higher commercial aftermarket sales, higher commercial OEM sales and higher military sales, partially offset by lower Pratt & Whitney Canada OEM sales. UTC Aerospace Systems grew 8% organically primarily driven by higher commercial aftermarket and military sales and higher commercial aerospace OEM sales. Organic sales growth of 4% at Climate, Controls & Security was driven by growth in residential HVAC, global commercial HVAC, and transport refrigeration. Otis sales grew 3% organically, reflecting higher service sales, driven by growth in North America and Asia, and higher new equipment sales. The increase in new equipment sales was driven by higher sales in Europe, partially offset by a decline in China.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, Pratt & Whitney sales grew 11% organically, reflecting growth across all major businesses. UTC Aerospace Systems grew 7% organically, driven by higher commercial aftermarket and military sales. Organic sales growth of 5% at Climate, Controls & Security was driven by growth in residential HVAC, global commercial HVAC, and transport refrigeration. Otis sales grew 2% organically, reflecting higher service sales, driven by growth in North America and Asia. Otis new equipment sales were consistent with the prior year as growth in Europe was offset by a decline in China.

The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
includes a 190 basis point decline in Pratt & Whitney's gross margin driven by higher negative engine margin in the large commercial engine business and adverse mix at Pratt & Whitney Canada and in the military business. Otis gross margin declined 190 basis points primarily driven by unfavorable pricing. Gross margin at UTC Climate, Controls & Security declined 10 basis points. These declines were offset by a 20 basis point improvement at UTC Aerospace Systems reflecting higher commercial aftermarket volumes and cost reduction.

Research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules and, therefore, year-over-year fluctuations in spending levels are expected. The majority of the company-funded spending is incurred by the aerospace businesses. The year-over-year decrease (5%) in company-funded research and development for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
was driven by declines at Pratt & Whitney (5%) and at UTC Aerospace Systems (3%) reflecting lower expenses across various commercial programs and the capitalization of certain development costs in accordance with the New Revenue Standard. These declines were partially offset by an increase at UTC Climate, Controls & Security (2%) to support the continued investment in new products. For the
six months ended June 30, 2018
company-funded research and development declined 5%, driven by declines at Pratt & Whitney (4%) and at UTC Aerospace Systems (4%) reflecting lower expenses across various commercial programs and the capitalization of certain development costs in accordance with the New Revenue Standard. These declines were partially offset by an increase at UTC Climate, Controls & Security (2%) to support the continued investment in new products.
The decrease (8%) in customer-funded research and development for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
reflects a decline at UTC Aerospace Systems (10%) primarily driven by the deferral of certain development costs in accordance with the New Revenue Standard and lower expenses across various programs, partially offset by an increase at Pratt & Whitney (4%),
primarily driven by higher research and development expenses on military development programs. The decline (6%) in customer-funded research and development for the
six months ended June 30, 2018
reflects a decrease at UTC Aerospace Systems (7%), primarily driven by the deferral of certain development costs in accordance with the New Revenue Standard, partially offset by an increase at Pratt & Whitney (3%), primarily driven by higher research and development expenses on military development programs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% in the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
, including the impact of foreign exchange (2%) and transaction costs related to the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins (1%). The growth in Selling, general and administrative expenses also includes higher expenses at UTC Aerospace Systems (3%), reflecting increased headcount and employee compensation related expenses, higher expenses at UTC Climate, Controls & Security (1%), including the impact of costs associated with a product recall program, higher spending at Otis (1%) driven primarily by increased information technology costs, and an increase at Pratt & Whitney (1%) driven by increased headcount and employee compensation related expenses and costs to support higher volumes.

Other income, net includes equity earnings in unconsolidated entities, royalty income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as other ongoing and nonrecurring items. The year-over-year increase in Other income, net ($684 million, 266%) for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
primarily reflects the gain on the sale of Taylor Company ($795 million, 309%), partially offset by an impairment of assets related to a previously acquired UTC Aerospace Systems business (19%) and the absence of a prior year gain on the sale of an investment in a UTC Climate, Controls & Security joint venture (9%).

Interest expense, net increased 4% and 5% for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
, respectively. The increase in interest expense reflects the impact of the May 4, 2017 issuance of notes representing $4 billion in aggregate principal and the May 18, 2018 issuance of Euro-denominated notes representing €2 billion in aggregate principal, partially offset by the favorable impact of the repayment at maturity of the following: 1.8% notes in June 2017 representing $1.5 billion in aggregate principal; the 6.8% notes in February 2018 representing $99 million of aggregate principal; the Euro-denominated floating rate notes in February 2018 representing €750 million in aggregate principal; and the 1.778% notes in May 2018 representing $1.1 billion of aggregate principal. The average maturity of our long-term debt at
June 30, 2018
is approximately
11 years

On December 22, 2017 Public Law 115-97 “An Act to Provide for Reconciliation Pursuant to Titles II and V of the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget for Fiscal Year 2018” was enacted. This law is commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118) issued on December 22, 2017, the U.S. income tax amounts recorded attributable to the TCJA’s deemed repatriation provision, the revaluation of U.S. deferred taxes and the tax consequences relating to states with current conformity to the Internal Revenue Code are provisional amounts. Due to the enactment date and tax complexities of the TCJA, the Company has not completed its accounting related to these items.
Prior to enactment of the TCJA, with few exceptions, U.S. income taxes had not been provided on undistributed earnings of UTC's international subsidiaries as the Company had intended to reinvest such earnings permanently outside the U.S. or to repatriate such earnings only when it was tax effective to do so. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the TCJA on its existing accounting position related to the undistributed earnings. Due to the inherent complexities in determining any incremental U.S. Federal and State taxes and the non-U.S. taxes that may be due if all of these earnings were remitted to the U.S. and as provided for by SAB 118 this evaluation has not yet been completed and no provisional amount has been recorded in regard to the undistributed amounts. After completing its evaluation, the Company will accrue any additional taxes due on previously undistributed earnings to be distributed in the future.
The Company will continue to accumulate and refine the relevant data and computational elements needed to finalize its accounting for the effects of the TCJA by December 22, 2018.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
is primarily due to a reduction of the estimated full year forecasted effective tax rate as a result of the enactment of TCJA. This is partially offset by a decrease in tax benefits associated with equity compensation and the absence of incremental tax benefits related to a claim based on the outcome of a favorable Federal Court decision of another taxpayer reported in the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
The decrease in the effective tax rate for the
six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
is primarily related to the tax benefits described above as well as impacts of the previous quarter TCJA provisional adjustment and absence of the gain on the sale of UTC Climate, Controls & Security's investments in Watsco, Inc. in the first quarter of 2017.
As shown in the table above, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 is 25.8%; the effective income tax rate for the same period, excluding restructuring, non-operational nonrecurring items, is 24.4%. We estimate our full year 2018 annual effective income tax rate to be approximately 24.5%, excluding restructuring, non-operational nonrecurring items and adjustments related to the TCJA.

Restructuring actions are an essential component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to existing and recently acquired operations. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations and costs to exit legacy programs. We expect restructuring costs in
2018
to be consistent with 2017, including trailing costs related to prior actions associated with our continuing cost reduction efforts and the integration of acquisitions. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions.
2018 Actions
.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of
$73 million
relating to ongoing cost reduction actions initiated in
2018
. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of
$62 million
to complete these actions. We are targeting to complete in 2018 and 2019 the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions initiated in
2018
. We expect recurring pre-tax savings in continuing operations to increase to approximately
$60 million
annually over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions. Approximately
83%
of the total expected pre-tax charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we had cash outflows of approximately
$27 million
related to the
2018
actions.
2017 Actions
.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
and 2017, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of
$67 million
and $63 million, respectively, for actions initiated in
2017
. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of
$82 million
to complete these actions. We are targeting to complete in
2018
the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions initiated in
2017
. We expect recurring pre-tax savings in continuing operations to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately
$211 million
annually, of which, approximately
$90 million
was realized during the
six months ended June 30, 2018
. Approximately
87%
of the total expected pre-tax charge
will require cash payments, which we have and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we had cash outflows of approximately
$63 million
related to the
2017
actions.
In addition, during the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling
$9 million
for restructuring actions initiated in 2016 and prior. For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Review
Segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. Adjustments to reconcile segment reporting to the consolidated results for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
are included in "Eliminations and other", which also includes certain smaller subsidiaries. We attempt to quantify material cited factors within our discussion of the results of each segment whenever those factors are determinable. However, in some instances, the factors we cite within our segment discussion are based upon input measures or qualitative information that does not lend itself to quantification when discussed in the context of the financial results measured on an output basis and are not, therefore, quantified in the below discussions.
Commercial Businesses
Our commercial businesses generally serve customers in the worldwide commercial and residential property industries, and UTC Climate, Controls & Security also serves customers in the commercial and transport refrigeration industries. Sales in the commercial businesses are influenced by a number of external factors, including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, credit markets and other global and political factors. UTC Climate, Controls & Security's financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment and, in the case of its residential business, weather conditions. To ensure adequate supply of products in the distribution channel, UTC Climate, Controls & Security customarily offers its customers incentives to purchase products. The principal incentive program provides reimbursements to distributors for offering promotional pricing on UTC Climate, Controls & Security products. We account for incentive payments made as a reduction to sales.
At constant currency and excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, UTC Climate, Controls & Security equipment orders in the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
increased 8% in comparison to the same period of the prior year, driven by increases in transport refrigeration (27%), residential equipment (8%) and commercial HVAC (6%). At constant currency, and excluding the impact of the New Revenue Standard, Otis new equipment orders in the quarter increased 10% in comparison to the prior year, driven by increased orders in North America (17%), Asia, excluding China (14%), the Middle East (58%) and China (8%).
Summary performance for each of the commercial businesses for the
quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

The organic sales increase of 3% reflects higher service sales (2%), primarily driven by growth in North America and Asia, and higher new equipment sales (1%) driven by higher sales in Europe (2%), partially offset by a decline in China (1%).
The operational profit decrease of 8% was driven by:
|
|
•
|
unfavorable price and mix (6%), primarily driven by China
|
|
|
•
|
unfavorable commodities impact (2%)
|
|
|
•
|
higher selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs (2%)
|
|
|
•
|
unfavorable transactional foreign exchange gains from mark-to-market adjustments and embedded foreign currency derivatives within certain new equipment contracts (1%)
|
These decreases were partially offset by:
|
|
•
|
profit contribution from the higher sales volumes noted above (5%)
|
The 3% decrease in "Other" primarily represents the unfavorable impact of legal matters.

|
|
•
|
profit contribution from the higher sales volumes noted above, net of unfavorable mix (4%)
|
|
|
•
|
the year-over-year impact of a prior year unfavorable contract adjustment related to a large commercial project (5%)

Aerospace Businesses
The aerospace businesses serve both commercial and government aerospace customers. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs), U.S. Government military and space spending, and the general economic health of airline carriers are all barometers for our aerospace businesses. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits.
We continue to see growth in a strong commercial airline industry which is benefiting from traffic growth, lower airfares, and stronger economic conditions. Airline traffic, as measured by RPMs, grew approximately 7% in the first five months of 2018.
Our commercial aftermarket businesses continue to evolve as an increasing proportion of our aerospace businesses' customers are covered under Fleet Management Programs (FMPs) at Pratt & Whitney and long-term aftermarket service agreements at UTC Aerospace Systems. FMPs are comprehensive long-term spare part and service agreements with our customers. We expect a continued shift to FMPs and long-term aftermarket service agreements in lieu of transactional spare part sales as new aerospace product offerings enter our customers' fleets under long-term service agreements and legacy fleets are retired. For the first six months of 2018, as compared with 2017, total commercial aerospace aftermarket sales increased 15% at Pratt & Whitney and 14% at UTC Aerospace Systems.
Operating profit in the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
included significant net
unfavorable
changes in aerospace contract estimates totaling $41 million and $82 million, respectively, primarily reflecting
unfavorable
net contract adjustments recorded at Pratt & Whitney. Operating profit in the quarter ended June 30, 2017 included significant changes in aerospace contract estimates totaling $1 million, as favorable net contract adjustments recorded at UTC Aerospace Systems, were largely offset by unfavorable net contract adjustments recorded at Pratt & Whitney. Operating profit in the six months ended June 30, 2017 included significant net unfavorable changes in aerospace contract estimates of $29 million, primarily representing unfavorable contract adjustments recorded at Pratt & Whitney.
As previously disclosed, Pratt & Whitney's PurePower PW1500G engine models have been selected to power the Airbus A220 passenger aircraft (formerly Bombardier CSeries) which entered into service on July 15, 2016. There have been multi-year delays in the development of the aircraft. Notwithstanding these delays, Bombardier reports that they have received over 300 orders for the aircraft and that both the A220-100 and A220-300 aircraft models have been certified and have entered into revenue service. We have made various investments in support of the production and delivery of our PW1500G engines and systems for the A220 program, which we currently expect to recover through future deliveries of PW1500G powered A220 aircraft. On October 16, 2017, Bombardier and Airbus announced an agreement to become partners on the CSeries aircraft program. On July 1, 2018 the transaction was completed with Airbus acquiring a majority stake in the partnership. We will continue to monitor the progress of the program and our ability to recover our investments, which we believe is strengthened by this partnership.

For Pratt & Whitney only, the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at Pratt & Whitney Canada has been netted against the translational foreign exchange impact for presentation purposes in the table above. For all other segments these foreign exchange transactional impacts are included within the organic/operational caption in their respective tables. Due to its significance to Pratt & Whitney's overall operating results, we believe it is useful to segregate the foreign exchange transactional impact in order to clearly identify the underlying financial performance.
The organic sales increase of 12% primarily reflects higher commercial aftermarket sales (6%), increased commercial OEM sales (3%) and higher military sales (3%). The 4% increase in "Other" reflects the sales impact of adopting the New Revenue Standard.
The operational profit increase of 21% was primarily driven by:
|
|
•
|
higher commercial aftermarket profit contribution (27%), driven by the sales increase noted above
|
This increase was partially offset by:
|
|
•
|
lower military profit contribution (3%), driven by adverse mix
|
|
|
•
|
lower commercial OEM profit contribution (1%), primarily driven by adverse mix at Pratt & Whitney Canada and higher negative engine margin
|
|
|
•
|
higher selling, general and administrative expenses and other ramp-related costs (2%)
|
The 12% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects the operating profit impact of adopting the New Revenue Standard (7%) and the absence of prior year licensing income (5%).

The organic sales increase of 7% primarily reflects higher commercial aftermarket and military sales (combined, 6%).
The operational profit increase of 16% primarily reflects:
|
|
•
|
higher commercial aftermarket and military profit contribution driven by the sales growth noted above (combined, 23%)
|
These increases were partially offset by:
|
|
•
|
higher selling, general and administrative expenses (7%)
|
The 3% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects an impairment of assets related to a previously acquired business.

Eliminations and other reflects the elimination of sales, other income and operating profit transacted between segments, as well as the operating results of certain smaller businesses. The year-over-year increase in sales eliminations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 2018
, as compared to the same periods of
2017
, reflects an increase in the amount of inter-segment eliminations, principally between our aerospace businesses. The decrease in operating profits for the
quarter ended June 30, 2018
, is driven by higher inter-segment profit eliminations resulting from increased inter-segment activity amongst our aerospace businesses, transaction costs related to the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins, and lower year-over-year gains on sales of securities. The decrease in operating profits for the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, is primarily driven by higher inter-segment profit eliminations resulting from increased inter-segment activity amongst our aerospace businesses, and transaction costs related to the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows from continuing operations. For 2018, we expect cash flows from continuing operations, net of capital expenditures, to approximate $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, access to the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, redemptions of debt, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.
At
June 30, 2018
, we had cash and cash equivalents of
$11,068 million
, of which approximately 36% was held by UTC's foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As previously discussed, on December 22, 2017, the TCJA was enacted. Prior to enactment of the TCJA, with few exceptions, U.S. income taxes had not been provided on undistributed earnings of UTC's international subsidiaries as the Company had intended to reinvest such earnings permanently outside the U.S. or to repatriate such earnings only when it was tax effective to do so. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the TCJA on its existing accounting position related to the undistributed earnings. Due to the inherent complexities in determining any incremental U.S. Federal and State taxes and the non-U.S. taxes that may be due if all of these earnings were remitted to the U.S., and in accordance with SAB 118, this evaluation has not been completed and no provisional amount has been recorded in regard to the undistributed amounts. After completing its evaluation, the Company will accrue any additional taxes due on previously undistributed earnings to be distributed in the future.
On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions or divestitures or other legal obligations. As of
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately
$38 million
and
$33 million
, respectively.
Historically, our strong debt ratings and financial position have enabled us to issue long-term debt at favorable market rates. Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing debt-to-total-capitalization level as well as our credit standing. Our debt-to-total-capitalization of
46%
at
June 30, 2018
, remained relatively consistent with the prior year. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. The need for commercial paper borrowing arises when the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.
At
June 30, 2018
, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to
$4.35 billion
pursuant to a
$2.20 billion
revolving credit agreement and a
$2.15 billion
multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in
August 2021
. As of
June 30, 2018
, there were no borrowings under these revolving credit agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of
June 30, 2018
, our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was
$4.35 billion
.
Commercial paper borrowings at
June 30, 2018
include approximately
€750 million
(
$876 million
) of euro-denominated commercial paper.
On May 18, 2018, we issued €750 million aggregate principal amount of 1.150% senior notes due 2024, €500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.150% senior notes due 2030 and €750 million aggregate principal amount of senior floating rate notes due 2020. The net proceeds received from these debt issuances were used for general corporate purposes.
On May 4, 2018, we repaid at maturity approximately $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.778% junior subordinated notes.
On February 1, 2018, we repaid at maturity the $99 million 6.80% notes due in 2018 and on February 22, 2018, we repaid at maturity the €750 million EURIBOR plus 0.80% floating rate notes due in 2018.
On November 13, 2017, we issued €750 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate notes due 2019. The net proceeds from this debt issuance were used to fund the repayment of commercial paper and for other general corporate purposes.
On May 4, 2017, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.900% notes due 2020, $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.300% notes due 2022, $800 million aggregate principal amount of 2.800% notes due 2024, $1.1 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.125% notes due 2027 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 4.050% notes due 2047. The net proceeds received from these debt issuances were used to fund the repayment at maturity of our 1.800% notes due 2017, representing $1.5 billion in aggregate principal and other general corporate purposes.
Within the Business Overview of Management's Discussion and Analysis, we have described the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins. The purchase consideration will be a combination of UTC shares and cash. We anticipate that approximately $15 billion will be required to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration. We expect to fund the cash portion of the Merger Consideration through debt issuances and cash on hand. Additionally, we have entered into a $6.5 billion 364-day unsecured bridge loan credit agreement that would be funded only to the extent certain anticipated debt issuances are not completed prior to the completion of the merger. We expect to assume approximately $7 billion of Rockwell Collins’ outstanding debt. To help manage the cash flow and liquidity impact resulting from the pending acquisition, we have suspended share repurchases, excluding activity relating to our equity award programs and employee savings plans. As we continue to assess the impacts of the TCJA, future opportunities for repatriation of our non-U.S. earnings, and accelerated de-leveraging, we may consider, in addition to investments in our operations, limited additional share repurchases to offset the effects of dilution related to our stock-based compensation programs. We have repatriated $5.1 billion of overseas cash for the six months ended June 30, 2018. Available cash on hand will be used to reduce the debt funding requirements for the transaction.
We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Further, we continue to have access to the commercial paper markets and our existing credit facilities, and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, as well as the availability under committed credit lines, provides additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required or appropriate.

Cash generated from operating activities in the
six months ended June 30, 2018
was $
584 million
lower
than the same period in
2017
. Cash outflows for working capital improved $65 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 over the prior period. Factoring activity provided an increase in cash generated from operating activities of approximately $350 million in the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, as compared to the prior year. This increase in factoring was driven largely by Pratt & Whitney's temporary extension of contractual payment terms with certain commercial aerospace customers. This increase does not reflect the factoring of certain aerospace receivables performed at customer request for which we are compensated by the customer for the extended payment cycle.
In the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, cash outflows from working capital were $489 million, excluding the adoption impact of the New Revenue Standard. Accounts receivables increased from an increase in sales volume driven by UTC Climate, Controls & Security Residential & Commercial HVAC businesses, UTC Aerospace Systems and Pratt & Whitney. Contract assets increased due to costs in excess of billings primarily at Pratt & Whitney driven by military engines, at Otis due to progression on major projects, and at UTC Climate, Controls & Security in Commercial HVAC. Inventory increased in the quarter primarily driven by UTC Climate, Controls & Security seasonal build and an increase in production work in process for the Geared Turbo Fan at Pratt & Whitney. These increases were partially offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, driven by the higher inventory purchasing activity and customer advances at Pratt & Whitney as well as an increase in current contract liabilities driven by seasonal advanced billings and progress payments on major contracts at Otis and the timing of billings on aftermarket contracts at Pratt & Whitney.
In the six months ended June 30, 2017, cash outflows from working capital were $554 million. Inventories increased approximately $1.1 billion, primarily in our aerospace businesses supporting an increase in forecasted OEM deliveries and related aftermarket demand, and in our commercial businesses primarily driven by seasonal demand in our North American HVAC business and installation projects in process in our refrigeration businesses. These increases were largely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, primarily at Pratt & Whitney, with other increases at UTC Climate, Controls & Security attributable to higher seasonal demand in our North American HVAC business. Accounts receivable increased primarily in our aerospace businesses, and were partially offset by increased customer advances at Pratt & Whitney and Otis. Factoring activity provided an increase of approximately $400 million in cash generated from operating activities of continuing operations in the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to the prior year period. This increase in factoring was driven largely by Pratt & Whitney's temporary extension of contractual payment terms with certain commercial aerospace customers.
The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets, the level of market interest rates and actuarial mortality assumptions. We can contribute cash or UTC shares to our plans at our discretion, subject to applicable regulations. Total cash contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans during the
six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
were approximately
$59 million
and
$79 million
, respectively. Although our
domestic pension plans are approximately 103% funded on a projected benefit obligation basis as of
June 30, 2018
, and we are not required to make additional contributions through the end of 2028, we may elect to make discretionary contributions in 2018. We expect to make total contributions of approximately $100 million to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2018. Contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2018 are expected to meet or exceed the current funding requirements.

Cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017
primarily reflect capital expenditures, cash investments in customer financing assets, investments/dispositions of businesses, payments related to our collaboration intangible assets and contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, and settlements of derivative contracts. The $752 million decrease in cash flows used in investing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 compared to June 30, 2017 primarily relates to the $1 billion in proceeds from the sale of Taylor Company in June 2018 by UTC Climate, Controls & Security, $376 million in receipts from settlements of derivative contracts, partially offset by the absence of $596 million in net proceeds received from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's sale of investments in Watsco, Inc. in the quarter ended March 31, 2017.
Capital expenditures for the
six months ended June 30, 2018
(
$709 million
) primarily relate to investments in production capacity at Pratt & Whitney, several small projects at UTC Aerospace Systems, and new facilities at UTC Climate, Controls & Security.
Cash investments in businesses in the
six months ended June 30, 2018
(
$134 million
) primarily consisted of an acquisition at Pratt & Whitney.
We do not expect to have additional significant acquisition spend, other than the pending acquisition of Rockwell Collins.
However, actual acquisition spending may vary depending upon the timing, availability and appropriate value of acquisition opportunities. Dispositions of businesses in the six months ended June 30, 2018 of $1.1 billion primarily relate to the sale of Taylor Company.
Customer financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2018 were a net
use
of cash of
$344 million
, primarily driven by additional Geared Turbofan engines to support customer fleets. While we expect that 2018 customer financing activity will be a net use of funds, actual funding is subject to usage under existing customer financing commitments during the remainder of the year. We may also arrange for third-party investors to assume a portion of our commitments. We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately
$15.2 billion
at
June 30, 2018
related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, of which up to
$0.6 billion
may be required to be disbursed during the remainder of 2018. We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately
$15.3 billion
at
December 31, 2017
.
During the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, our collaboration intangible assets increased by approximately
$181 million
, which primarily relates to payments made under our 2012 agreement to acquire Rolls-Royce's collaboration interest in IAE.
As discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures. The settlement of these derivative instruments resulted in a net cash inflow of approximately
$82 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and a net cash outflow of
$294 million
during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Our financing activities primarily include the issuance and repayment of short term and long term debt, payment of dividends and stock repurchases. Net cash used in financing activities
decreased
$159 million
in the
six months ended June 30, 2018
compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2017
primarily due to a reduction in debt issuances of $1.6 billion and an increase in debt repayments of $481 million, partially offset by an increase in short-term borrowings of $610 million and a reduction in common stock repurchase of $1.3 billion.
Commercial paper borrowings and revolving credit facilities provide short-term liquidity to supplement operating cash flows and are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our stock. We had approximately
$0.9 billion
of outstanding commercial paper at
June 30, 2018
.
At
June 30, 2018
, management had remaining authority to repurchase approximately
$2.2 billion
of our common stock under the October 14, 2015 share repurchase program. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock and as required under our employee savings plan. We made cash payments of approximately
$52 million
to repurchase approximately 402 thousand shares of our common stock during the
six months ended June 30, 2018
. In connection with the merger agreement with Rockwell Collins announced on September 4, 2017, we have suspended share repurchases, excluding activity required under our equity award programs and employee savings plans. As we continue to assess the impacts of the TCJA, future opportunities for repatriation of our non-U.S. earnings, and accelerated de-leveraging, we may consider, in addition to investments in our operations, limited additional share repurchases to offset the effects of dilution related to our stock-based compensation programs.
We paid dividends on common stock of $0.70 per share in both the first quarter and second quarter of 2018, totaling approximately
$1,070 million
in the aggregate for the
six months ended June 30, 2018
. On June 13, 2018, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.70 per share payable September 10, 2018 to shareowners of record at the close of business on August 17, 2018.
We have an existing universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under this shelf registration statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In our
2017
Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our
2017
Form 10-K, we disclosed our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations.
As of June 30, 2018
, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.

Controls and Procedures
|
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Corporate Vice President, Controller (Controller), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of June 30, 2018
. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, our CFO and our Controller have concluded that,
as of June 30, 2018
, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, our CFO and our Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the
six months ended June 30, 2018
, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
DOJ/SEC Investigations
As previously disclosed, in December 2013 and January 2014, UTC made voluntary disclosures to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Division of Enforcement and the United Kingdom’s Serious Fraud Office to report the status of its internal investigation regarding a non-employee sales representative retained by United Technologies International Operations, Inc. (UTIO) and IAE for the sale of Pratt & Whitney and IAE engines and aftermarket services, respectively, in China. On April 7, 2014, the SEC notified UTC that it was conducting a formal investigation and issued a subpoena to UTC. The SEC issued a second subpoena on March 9, 2015 seeking documents related to internal allegations of violations of anti-bribery laws from UTC’s aerospace and commercial businesses, including but not limited to Otis businesses in China. On March 7, 2018, the DOJ notified UTC that it had decided to close its investigation of this matter. Based on our ongoing discussions with the SEC staff to resolve this matter, UTC recorded a charge of approximately $11 million in the second quarter of 2018.
See Note 15: Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding other legal proceedings.
Except as otherwise noted above, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings. For previously reported information about legal proceedings refer to Part I, Item 3, "Legal Proceedings," of our 2017 Form 10-K and Part. II, Item 1 "Legal Proceedings" of our 2018 Form 10-Q (Q1).

On October 14, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $12 billion of our common stock, replacing the program announced on July 19, 2015. At
June 30, 2018
, the maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under this current program was approximately
$2,242 million
. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase (ASR) programs and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock and as required under our employee savings plan. No shares were reacquired in transactions outside the program during the quarter ended
June 30, 2018
.
On September 4, 2017, we announced that we had entered into a merger agreement with Rockwell Collins, under which we will acquire Rockwell Collins. To manage the cash flow and liquidity impacts of these actions, we have suspended share repurchases, excluding activity required under our equity award programs and employee savings plans.

UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
Executed July 16, 2018
Amended and Restated as of January 1, 2011

Executed July 16, 2018
(As amended and restated effective January 1, 2011)
ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE
Section 1.1 - Purpose of the Plan
United Technologies Corporation established the United Technologies Deferred Compensation Plan effective April 1, 1985. Pursuant to such Plan, certain eligible executives of the Corporation, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates deferred all or a portion of their compensation earned with respect to 1985 and 1986. No compensation earned after 1986 was deferred under the Plan until the Plan was amended and restated effective December 15, 1993 to offer eligible executives the opportunity to defer all or a portion of Compensation earned or otherwise payable in 1994 and subsequent years. The Plan has been amended from time to time since 1993.
Section 1.2 - Effective Date of Plan and Amendments
The Plan is amended and restated for the purpose of clarifying the intent of the Plan to provide for a Benefit Restoration Contribution to restore the reduction in the UTC Contribution Plan Account under the United Technologies Corporation Savings Restoration Plan as a result of the reduction of such Participant’s Eligible Compensation due to an elective deferral of compensation by the Participant under this Plan; as well as other revisions. Changes effected by this amendment and restatement are generally effective as of January 1, 2011.
The Plan was amended and restated, effective January 1, 2005, to reflect the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan, as amended and restated, applies to deferrals that were earned or vested after December 31, 2004. Amounts that were earned and vested (within the meaning of Section 409A) before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increases in these amounts that are permitted to be treated as grandfathered benefits under Section 409A, are subject to and shall continue to be governed by the terms of the Prior Plan as set forth in Appendix A.
ARTICLE II - DEFINITIONS

Benefit Restoration Contribution
means a contribution by the Corporation to the Participant’s Plan Account to recognize the reduction in the value of employer matching or other contributions under the United Technologies Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”) or the United Technologies Corporation Savings Restoration Plan (the “SRP”), as a result of the reduction of such Participant’s Compensation pursuant to this Plan.

Corporation
means United Technologies Corporation.
Deferral Period

Election Form
means the enrollment form provided by the Committee to Participants electronically or in paper form for the purpose of deferring Compensation under the Plan. Each Participant’s Election Form must specify: the amount to be deferred from base salary and/or from any Incentive Compensation Payment with respect to the following calendar year; the respective amounts to be allocated to the Participant’s Retirement Account and/or Special Purpose Account or Accounts; the percentage allocation among the Investment Funds with respect to each such Account; and if not previously elected for an Account, the method of distribution of each such Account; and the Deferral Period for each Special Purpose Account. There will be a separate Election Form for each calendar year.
Incentive Compensation Payment
means amounts awarded to a Participant pursuant to the Corporation’s Annual Executive Incentive Compensation Plan.
Investment Fund

means a Participant’s termination of employment with all UTC Companies, other than by reason of death.

A Participant shall not be considered to have had a Separation from Service as a result of a transfer from one UTC Company to another UTC Company.

Reg. § 1.415(c)-2(d)(3). The term includes both U.S. and non-U.S. employees, and the compensation used to determine whether an employee is among the fifty (50) highest-paid officers and other executives shall be determined by treating non-U.S. compensation as if it had been earned in the U.S. by a U.S. citizen.

UTC Company

ARTICLE III - ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION
Section 3.1 - Eligibility
Each employee of a UTC Company who is classified as an eligible Participant as of the annual enrollment period as specified by the Committee will be eligible to elect to defer Compensation under the Plan in respect of the immediately following calendar year in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the rules and procedures established by the Committee. Newly hired executives (or employees promoted
to executive level) are eligible to elect to defer base salary during the current calendar year if they make an election within 30 calendar days from their hire date or promotion date.
Section 3.2 - Participation
Each eligible Participant may elect to participate in the Plan with respect to any calendar year for which the Committee offers the opportunity to defer Compensation by timely filing with the Committee an Election Form, properly completed in accordance with Section 4.1. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.
ARTICLE IV - PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS AND DESIGNATIONS
Section 4.1 - Election
An eligible Participant may, on or before the election deadline established by the Committee, make an electronic or written election on the Election Form provided by the Committee to defer Compensation for the immediately following calendar year.
Section 4.2 - Election Amount
An eligible Participant must designate on the Election Form the percentage of base salary that will be deferred during such calendar year, and/or the percentage of any Incentive Compensation Payment otherwise payable with respect to services performed during such calendar year that will be deferred under the Plan. The maximum amount that a Participant may defer under the Plan for any calendar year is 50
% of base salary and/or 70% of any Incentive Compensation Payment.
Section 4.3 - Election Date
For an election to defer base salary, an electronic or written Election Form must be completed and submitted to the Plan administrator no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the calendar year to which the election applies, or such earlier date as the Committee may specify. A deferral election shall be effective only if the individual making the election is still an eligible Participant at the election deadline. Except as provided below in Section 4.7 (Change in Election), the choices reflected on the Participant’s Election Form shall be irrevocable on the election deadline. If an eligible executive fails to submit a properly completed Election Form by the election deadline, the executive will be ineligible to defer base salary under the Plan for the immediately following calendar year.
For an election to defer any Incentive Compensation Payment with respect to services to be performed in the current calendar year and otherwise payable in the immediately following calendar year, an electronic or written Election Form must be completed and submitted to the Plan administrator no later than the June 30 of the current calendar year, or such earlier date as the Committee may specify. A deferral
election shall be effective only if the individual making the election is still an eligible Participant as of the election deadline. Except as provided below in Section 4.7 (Change in Election), the choices reflected on the Participant’s Election Form shall be irrevocable on the election deadline. If an eligible executive fails to submit a properly completed Election Form by the election deadline, the executive will be ineligible to defer any Incentive Compensation Payment under the Plan with respect to services to be performed in the current calendar year.
Section 4.4 - Deferral Period
Each Participant shall specify in the Election Form, in whole percentages, how the amounts to be deferred in the immediately following calendar year are to be allocated among the Participant’s Retirement Account and any Special Purpose Accounts established for the Participant. To the extent that the Participant fails to make an effective allocation among the available accounts, the deferral shall be allocated entirely to the Participant’s Retirement Account. A Participant may elect to defer into a Special Purpose Account that has not previously been established, with a Deferral Period ending on a specific deferral date that is at least five (5) calendar years following the end of the calendar year in which the Account is established.
Section 4.5 - Distribution Election
At the time the Participant first elects to defer an amount to the Participant’s Retirement Account or to a Special Purpose Account, the Participant must further make an election to have the Participant’s Retirement or Special Purpose Account distributed in a lump sum or in two to fifteen annual installments. The Participant may elect a different form of distribution for the Retirement Account and for each Special Purpose Account. If no distribution election is made with respect to a Participant’s Retirement Account or Special Purpose Account, the Account will be distributed in a lump sum.
Section 4.6 - Investment Fund Allocations
When completing the Election Form, the Participant must allocate the amounts to be deferred, in whole percentages, among the available Investment Funds. To the extent that the Participant fails to make an effective allocation among the available Investment Funds, the deferral shall be allocated entirely to the Income Fund.
Participants may change the asset allocation of their existing Plan Accounts or future deferrals as permitted by the Committee. The Committee currently allows for daily reallocation. Allocation requests submitted after 4 p.m. EST or during a weekend or holiday, become effective the following business day.
Section 4.7 - Change in Election
A Participant who has made an election to defer Compensation under the Plan may make an irrevocable election to extend the Deferral Period for a Retirement Account and/or any Special Purpose Account. A Participant may also make an irrevocable election to change the form of distribution for the Retirement and/or any Special Purpose Account. A Participant may change his or her election, as provided in this Section 4.7, for some accounts and not for others; provided that the Participant may change his or her election up to a maximum of three times for the Retirement Account and up to a maximum of three times for each Special Purpose Account. With respect to each Special Purpose Account, the extended Deferral Period shall end not less than five (5) years following the date on which distribution would otherwise have occurred. With respect to the Retirement Account, the extended Deferral Period is five years form the date on which the Retirement Account would otherwise have commenced payment.
A deferral extension election and/or change to the form of distribution must meet all of the following requirements:
(a)
The new election must be made at least twelve months prior to the date on which payments will commence under the current election (and the new election shall be ineffective if the payment commencement date under the current election occurs within twelve months after the date of the new election);
(b)
The new election will not take effect until at least twelve months after the date when the new election is submitted in a manner acceptable to the Committee;
(c)
The new payment commencement date must be five years later than the date on which payments would commence under the current election; and
Section 4.8 - Designation of Beneficiary
Each Participant shall designate a Beneficiary for his or her Plan Account on an electronic or written form provided by the Plan administrator. A Participant may change such designation on an electronic or written form acceptable to the Plan administrator and received by the Plan administrator at any time before the Participant’s death. In the event that no Beneficiary designation is filed with the Plan administrator, or if the Beneficiary (and any contingent Beneficiary) does not survive the Participant, all amounts deferred hereunder will be paid to the estate of the Participant. If a Participant designates the Participant’s spouse as the Participant’s Beneficiary, that designation shall not be revoked or otherwise altered or affected by any: (a) change in the marital status of the Participant; (b) agreement between the
Participant and such spouse; or (c) judicial decree (such as a divorce decree) affecting any rights that the Participant and such spouse might have as a result of their marriage, separation, or divorce; it being the intent of the Plan that any change in the designation of a Beneficiary hereunder may be made by the Participant only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.8. In the event of the death of a Participant, distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 6.5.
ARTICLE V - PLAN ACCOUNTS
Section 5.1 - Accounts
Deferred amounts that were earned and vested before January 1, 2005, and any subsequent increases in these amounts that are permitted to be treated as grandfathered benefits under Section 409A of the Code, shall be maintained in separate accounts and shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Plan, except that any updated investment fund options shall also apply to accounts under the Prior Plan, provided such change would not be deemed a material modification to the Prior Plan. The Prior Plan accounts are not intended to be subject to Section 409A of the Code. No amendment to Appendix A that would constitute a “material modification” for purposes of Section 409A shall be effective unless the amending instrument states that it is intended to materially modify Appendix A and to cause the Prior Plan to become subject to Section 409A. Although the Prior Plan accounts are not intended to be subject to Section 409A, neither the UTC Companies nor any director, officer, or other representative of a UTC Company shall be liable for any adverse tax consequence suffered by a Participant or Beneficiary if a Prior Plan account becomes subject to Section 409A.
Deferred amounts that were earned or vested after December 31, 2004, will be allocated to a Retirement Account and/or one or more Special Purpose Accounts as elected by the Participant. The Committee will establish the maximum number of Special Purpose Accounts.
Participants’ Plan Accounts shall be allocated or reallocated among Investment Funds in accordance with each Participant’s instructions in the manner set forth in Section 4.6.
Section 5.2 - [Removed]
Section 5.3 Valuation of UTC Stock Unit Fund
Deferred Compensation allocated to the UTC Stock Unit Fund will be credited as UTC Deferred Stock Units, including fractional Stock Units. A UTC Deferred Stock Unit is equal to the closing price of one share of UTC Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange. The number of UTC Deferred Stock Units will be calculated by dividing the amount of Compensation deferred by the closing price of UTC Common Stock on the date when the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Fund. UTC Deferred Stock Units will be credited with dividend equivalent payments equal to
the Corporation’s declared dividend on UTC Common Stock (if any). Such dividend equivalent payments will be converted to additional UTC Deferred Stock Units and fractional units using the closing price of UTC Common Stock as of the date such dividends are credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Fund.
Section 5.4 - Valuation of Investment Funds
Deferred compensation allocated to Investment Funds will be converted to the applicable Investment Fund units based on the closing share price of that Investment Fund as of date the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s applicable Investment Fund. The value of the units of an Investment Fund will fluctuate on each business day based on the performance of the applicable Investment Fund.
Section 5.5 - Allocation to Accounts
During the year of deferral, deferred amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s Plan Account and Investment Funds as of the date the deferred amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.
Section 5.6 - Crediting of Benefit Restoration Contribution
At the end of each calendar year, the Committee will determine if a Participant is eligible for a Benefit Restoration Contribution, and will credit the amount of such Benefit Restoration Contribution to the affected Participant’s Plan Account as of the last business day of the calendar year. Any such amounts will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to the Participant’s Retirement Account and Special Purpose Accounts and Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant’s deferral elections on file for that calendar year.
Section 5.7 - Reports to Participants
The Committee will provide or make available detailed information to Participants regarding the value of Plan Accounts, distribution elections, Beneficiary designations, Investment Fund allocations and credited values for Retirement and Special Purpose Accounts. Such information may be provided via electronic media as determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE VI - DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS
Section 6.1 - Timing of Plan Distributions
Except as provided in Section 4.7 (concerning the five-year delay following a Change in Election), Section 6.3 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty), and Section 6.4 (concerning distributions to Specified Employees), the value of a Participant’s Retirement Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) to the Participant in April of the calendar year following the Retirement Date. The value of a Participant’s Special Purpose Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) to the Participant in April of the year specified in the Participant’s initial election or in any change in election
under Section 4.7. This means, for example, that if a deferral election specifies a Deferral Period until 2015, distribution will occur in April of 2015.
Section 6.2 - Method of Distribution
Except as provided in Section 6.3 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty), each Retirement and Special Purpose Account will be distributed to the Participant in a single lump-sum cash payment, or in a series of annual cash installment payments, in accordance with the Participant’s election on file with respect to each such account. Annual installments shall be payable to the Participant beginning as of the payment commencement date and continuing as of each anniversary of the payment commencement date thereafter until all installments have been paid. To determine the amount of each installment, the value of the Participant’s Plan Account on the payment date will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the number of scheduled installments that remain unpaid.
Regardless of the distribution option elected, if the aggregate value of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, determined as of the termination date, is less than the current IRS Section 402g limit, the Committee will distribute the Participant’s entire Plan Account balance in a lump sum on the payment commencement date.
Section 6.3 - Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty
If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before the Participant attains age fifty (50), the full value of the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the Participant in a lump-sum payment in April following the Participant's Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his or her Separation from Service, on the date provided in Section 6.4, below, if later) regardless of the distribution option elected and regardless of any change in the distribution election.
Section 6.4 - Separation from Service of Specified Employees
If the Participant is a Specified Employee on the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service, any distribution of the Participant’s Plan Account to the Participant that is made on account of the Participant’s Separation from Service will not be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. The Plan Account shall continue to accrue hypothetical investment gains and losses as provided in Article V until the distribution date.
Section 6.5 - Distribution in the Event of Death
In the event of the death of a Participant, the full value of the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary in a lump sum on the first business day of the third month
following the Participant’s death. Upon notification of death, pending distribution, the value of Participant plan accounts will be allocated to the Income Fund.
Section 6.6 - Accelerated Distribution in the Case of an Unforeseeable Emergency
(a) Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee may, upon a Participant’s written application, agree to an accelerated distribution of some or all of the value of Participant's Plan Account upon the showing of an unforeseeable emergency. An “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (1) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s Beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in IRC Section 152, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. Whether a Participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case. Acceleration will not be granted if the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.
(b) Amount of Distribution Permitted Upon an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions on account of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in Section 6.6(a), shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need. Such amount may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.
(c) The Committee will determine from which Special Purpose or Retirement Accounts and associated Investment Funds hardship distributions will be made. Any Participant who is an officer or director of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not eligible for distributions on account of unforeseeable emergency.
Section 6.7 - Disability
In the event of the Disability of a Participant that qualifies as a “Separation from Service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections on file.
Section 6.8
Administrative Adjustments in Payment Date
A payment is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made on the due date specified by the Plan, or on a later date that is either (a) in the same calendar year (for a payment whose specified due date is on or before September 30), or (b) by the 15th day of the third
calendar month following the date specified by the Plan (for a payment whose specified due date is on or after October 1). A payment also is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made not more than 30 days before the due date specified by the Plan. In no event will a payment to a Specified Employee be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of a payment made in reliance on the administrative rules in this Section 6.8.
ARTICLE VII - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
Section 7.1 - Amendment
The Corporation may, at any time, amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no amendment may decrease the value of any Plan Accounts as of the date of such amendment. In the event of any change in law or regulation relating to the Plan and the tax treatment of Plan Accounts, the Plan shall, without further action by the Committee, be deemed to be amended to comply with any such change in law or regulation effective as of the first date necessary to prevent the taxation, constructive receipt or deemed distribution of Plan Accounts prior to the date Plan Accounts would be distributed under the provisions of Article VI.
Section 7.2 - Plan Suspension and Termination
(a) The Corporation’s Pension Administration Committee, may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan with respect to new or existing Election Forms if, in its sole judgment, the continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or potential payments thereunder would not be in the best interest of the Corporation or for any other reason.
(b) In the event of the suspension of the Plan, no additional deferrals shall be made under the Plan, but all previous deferrals shall accumulate and be distributed in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the Plan and the applicable elections on file.
(c) Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to all Participants, and the termination of all arrangements sponsored by the Corporation or its affiliates that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code, the Corporation shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay the Participant’s Plan Account in a lump sum, to the extent permitted under Section 409A. All payments that may be made pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be made no earlier than the thirteenth month and no later than the twenty-fourth month after the termination of the Plan. The Corporation may not accelerate payments pursuant to this Section 7.2 if the termination of the Plan is proximate to a downturn in the Corporation’s financial health within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C)(1). If the Corporation exercises its discretion to accelerate payments under
this Section 7.2, it shall not adopt any new arrangement that would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination.
Section 7.3 - No Consent Required
The consent of any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall not be required with respect to any amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan.
ARTICLE VIII - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 8.1 - Unsecured General Creditor
The Corporation’s obligations under the Plan constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ rights under the Plan are solely those of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. No assets will be placed in trust, set aside or otherwise segregated to fund or offset liabilities in respect of the Plan or Participants’ Plan Accounts.
Section 8.2 - Nonassignability
No Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any interest in the Plan.

Plan Accounts or other Plan benefit will not be transferred by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any Beneficiary’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
Section 8.3 - No Contract of Employment
Participation in the Plan shall not be construed to constitute a direct or indirect contract of employment between any UTC Company and the Participant. Participants and Beneficiaries will have no rights against any UTC Company resulting from participation in the Plan other than as specifically provided herein. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any UTC Company for any length of time or to interfere with the right of any UTC Company to terminate a Participant’s employment prior to the end of any Deferral Period.
Section 8.4 - Governing Law
The provisions of the Plan will be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut, to the extent not preempted by federal law.

Section 8.8 - Incompetence
If the Committee determines, upon evidence satisfactory to the Committee, that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian or other legal representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Committee and the Corporation, to the spouse of the Participant or other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expenses for the benefit of and on behalf of such Participant or Beneficiary. Any such payment from a Participant’s Plan Account shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan with respect to the amount so paid.
Section 8.9 - Section 409A Compliance.
To the extent that rights or payments under this Plan are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan shall be construed and administered in compliance with the conditions of Section 409A and regulations and other guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A for deferral of income taxation until the time the compensation is paid. Any distribution election that would not comply with Section
409A of the Code shall not be effective for purposes of this Plan.

Section 8.10

The Committee may make any appropriate arrangements to deduct from all deferrals and payments under the Plan any taxes that the Committee reasonably determines to be required by law to be withheld from such credits and payments.
ARTICLE IX - ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS
Section 9.1 - Plan Administration
The Committee shall be solely responsible for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority and discretion to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to establish such administrative procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an interpretation or ruling under the Plan, or requesting information under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the Committee at United Technologies Corporation, 4 Farm Springs Road, Farmington, CT 06032, Attn: Deferred Compensation Committee, MS 4FS-2. The Committee shall respond in writing as soon as practicable.
Section 9.2 - Claim Procedures
A Participant or Beneficiary who believes that he or she has been denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (referred to in this Section 9.2 as a “Claimant”) may file a written request with the Committee setting forth the claim. The Committee shall consider and resolve the claim as set forth below.
(a) Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the Claimant that a response will be forthcoming within 90 days. The Committee may, however, extend the response period for up to an additional 90 days for reasonable cause, and shall notify the Claimant of the reason for the extension and the expected response date. The Committee shall respond to the claim within the specified period.
(b) If the claim is denied in whole or part, the Committee shall provide the Claimant with a written decision, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth (1) the specific reason or reasons for such denial; (2) the specific reference to relevant provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; (4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; (5) the time limits for requesting a review of the claim; and (6) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
(c) Within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of the written decision denying the claim in whole or in part, the Claimant may request in writing that the Committee review the determination. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Claimant shall be barred from challenging the determination.
(d) Within 60 days after the Committee receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination. If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, the Committee will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.
(e) All decisions on review shall be final and binding with respect to all concerned parties. The decision on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (1) the specific reasons for the decision, including references to the relevant Plan provisions upon which the decision is based; (2) the Claimant’s right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information, relevant to his or her benefits; and (3) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
CERTAIN REGULATORY MATTERS
The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Because the Plan is an unfunded plan maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, the Plan is exempt from most of ERISA’s requirements. Although the Plan is subject to Part 1 (Reporting and Disclosure) and Part 5 (Administration and Enforcement) of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA, the Department of Labor has issued a regulation that exempts the Plan from most of ERISA’s reporting and disclosure requirements.
TO WHOM SHOULD QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE PLAN BE DIRECTED?

Prior to 2003, the Committee established a Class Year Account for each Participant with respect to each Class Year for which the Participant elected to defer Compensation under the Plan. Each Class Year Account will be maintained separately.
Amounts deferred in 2003 and subsequent calendar years will be allocated to a Retirement Account and/or one or more Special Purpose Accounts as elected by the Participant. The Committee will establish the maximum number of Special Purpose Accounts.
Participants’ Plan Accounts shall be allocated or reallocated among Investment Funds in accordance with each Participant’s instructions in the manner set forth in Section 4.2.
Section 5.2 - Valuation of Credited Interest Account
Deferred amounts allocated to the Credited Interest Account will be credited with a rate of interest equal to the average interest rate on 10-Year Treasury Bonds as of the last business day of each month from January through October in the prior calendar year, plus 1%.
Section 5.3 - Valuation of UTC Stock Unit Account
Deferred Compensation allocated to the UTC Stock Unit Account will be converted to Stock Units, or fractional Stock Units. A UTC Stock Unit is equal to the closing price of one share of UTC Common Stock as reported on the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange. The number of Stock Units will be calculated by dividing the amount of Compensation deferred by the closing price of UTC Common Stock on the date the deferred amounts otherwise would have been paid. Stock Units held in the UTC Stock Unit Account will be credited with a dividend payment equal to the Corporation’s declared dividend on UTC Common Stock (if any). Such dividend equivalent payments will be converted to additional Stock Units or fractional units using the closing price of UTC Common Stock as of the date such dividends are credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Account.
Section 5.4 - Valuation of S&P 500 Account
Deferred amounts allocated to the S&P 500 Account will be converted to S&P Account units based on the closing share price of the Vanguard 500 Index Fund as of date the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s S&P 500 Account. The value of the S&P 500 Account units will fluctuate on a daily basis based on the performance of the Vanguard 500 Index Fund.
Section 5.5 - Allocation to Accounts
During the year of deferral, deferred amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s Plan Accounts and Investment Funds as of the date the deferred amounts would otherwise have been paid.
Section 5.6 - Reports to Participants
The Committee will provide or make available detailed information to Participants regarding the value of Plan Accounts, distribution elections, Beneficiary designations, Investment Fund allocations and credited values for Class Year, Retirement and Special Purpose Accounts, not less than once per year. Such information may be provided via electronic media as determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE VI - DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS
Section 6.1 - Timing of Plan Distributions
The value of a Participant’s Retirement Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the calendar year following the Retirement Date. The value of a Participant’s Special Purpose Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the specified year. This means, for example, that if a deferral election specifies a Deferral Period until 2015, distribution will occur in April of 2015.
The value of a Participant’s Class Year Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April of the last year of the Deferral Period. Upon Retirement, the value of a Participant's Class Year Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) in April next following the Retirement Date, or in April of the calendar year following the Retirement Date, as elected.

Section 6.4 - Distribution in the Event of Death
In the event of the death of a Participant prior to attaining eligibility for Retirement, and before the end of the Deferral Period with respect to any Plan Account, the full value of such Plan Accounts will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary in a lump sum as soon as administratively feasible.

Section 6.5 - Hardship Distribution
The Committee may, in its sole discretion, upon finding that the Participant (or Beneficiary in the event of a Participant's death) has suffered an unforeseen, severe and immediate financial emergency, permit such Participant to withdraw a portion of the value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts in an amount sufficient to eliminate the hardship. Financial hardship distributions will be made only if the Committee determines that the Participant is unable to resolve the financial emergency through other means reasonably available to the Participant. Financial hardship distributions will be made following the Committee’s determination of a qualifying financial emergency on the basis of the value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts as of the most recent date available. The Committee will determine from which Special Purpose, Retirement or Class Year Accounts and associated Investment Funds hardship distributions will be made.

The Committee will effect distributions from supplemental retirement plans with respect to Benefit Reductions incurred in any of the Corporation’s defined benefit pension plans at the same time, in the same manner and in the required amounts such that when combined with benefits provided by the defined benefit pension plans in which a Participant incurred a Benefit Reduction, the total amount received by a Participant (or Beneficiary) will equal the amount of pension benefit that would otherwise have been paid had the Participant not participated in this Plan.
At the end of each calendar year, the Committee will determine if any Benefit Reduction has been incurred with respect to any of the Corporation’s savings plans or other tax qualified defined contribution retirement plans, and will credit the amount of such Benefit Reduction to the affected
Participant’s Plan Accounts as of the last business day of the calendar year. Any such amounts will be allocated on a pro-rata basis to the Participant’s Plan Accounts and Investment Funds in accordance with the Participant’s deferral elections on file for that calendar year.

ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE

The
United Technologies Corporation Company Automatic Contribution Excess Plan (“CACEP” or the “Plan”) was established effective January 1, 2010 for the benefit of employees covered by the Company Automatic Feature (the “CAF”) of the United Technologies Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”).

Section 1.2 - Effective Date of Plan and Amendments
The Plan as originally established effective January 1, 2010 is amended and restated for the purposes of clarifying the intent of the Plan to accrue CACEP benefits with respect to both the IRS Compensation Limit and the IRS Contribution Limit, as well as other minor administrative revisions.

Except as provided in Section 4.4 (concerning the five-year delay following a Change in Distribution Election), Section 7.4 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty), and Section 7.5 (concerning distributions to Specified Employees), the value of a Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed (or begin to be distributed) to the Participant in April of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
Section 7.2 - Method of Distribution
Except as provided in Section 7.4 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty) or in the following sentence (concerning Company Automatic Contributions and Benefit Reduction Contributions based on compensation earned before the Participant’s benefit distribution election), a Plan Account will be distributed to the Participant in a single lump-sum payment, or in a series of annual installment payments, in accordance with the Participant’s election on file. As provided in Section 4.1, any Benefit Reduction Contribution or Company Automatic Contribution based on compensation that a
Participant earns after the Participant becomes eligible to participate in the Plan, but before the Participant makes a valid distribution election, shall be paid in a lump sum, or as otherwise provided in a change in distribution election made pursuant to Section 4.4. Annual installment distributions shall be payable to the Participant beginning as of the payment commencement date and continuing as of each anniversary of the payment commencement date thereafter until all installments have been paid. To determine the amount of each installment, the value of the Participant’s Plan Account on the payment date will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the remaining number of scheduled installments.
Regardless of the distribution option elected, if the aggregate value of a Participant’s Plan Account, determined as of the payment commencement date, is less than the stated IRS Section 402g limit, the Committee will distribute the Participant’s entire Plan Account balance in a lump sum on the payment commencement date.
Section 7.3 - Form of Distribution
Plan Account distributions will be made in cash.

If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before the Participant attains age fifty (50), the full value of the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the Participant in a lump-sum payment in April of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant's Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his or her Separation from Service, on the date provided in Section 7.5, below, if later) regardless of the distribution option elected and regardless of any change in the distribution election.
Section 7.5 - Separation from Service of Specified Employees
Distributions to Specified Employees will not be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. All Plan Accounts shall continue to accrue hypothetical investment gains and losses as provided in Article VI until the distribution date.
Section 7.6 - Distribution in the Event of Death
In the event of the death of a Participant before the Participant’s Plan Account has been fully distributed, the full remaining value of the Participant’s Plan Account will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary or the Participant’s estate in a lump sum on the first business day of the third month following the Participant’s death. Upon notification of death, pending distribution, the value of Participant plan accounts will be allocated to the Income Fund.
Section 7.7 - Accelerated Distribution in the Case of an Unforeseeable Emergency
(a) Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee may, upon a Participant’s written application, agree to an accelerated distribution of some or all of the value of a Participant's Plan Account upon the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. An “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (1) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s Beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in IRC Section 152, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. Whether a Participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case. Acceleration will not be granted if the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship).
(b) Amount of Distribution Permitted Upon an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions on account of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in Section 7.7(a), shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need. Such amount may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.
(c) The Committee will determine from which Investment Funds hardship distributions will be made. Any Participant who is an officer or director of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not eligible for distributions on account of unforeseeable emergency.
Section 7.8 - Disability
In the event of the Disability of a Participant that qualifies as a “Separation from Service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections on file.
Section 7.9
Administrative Adjustments in Payment Date
A payment is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made on the due date specified by the Plan, or on a later date that is either (a) in the same calendar year (for a payment whose specified due date is on or before September 30), or (b) by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date specified by the Plan (for a payment whose specified due date is on or after October 1). A payment also is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the
payment is made not more than 30 days before the due date specified by the Plan. In no event will a payment to a Specified Employee be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of a payment made in reliance on the administrative rules in this Section 7.9.
ARTICLE VIII - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

(b) In the event of the suspension of the Plan, no additional contributions shall be made under the Plan. All previous contributions shall be distributed in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the Plan and the applicable elections on file.
(c) Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to all Participants, and the termination of all arrangements sponsored by the Corporation or its affiliates that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the Corporation shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the Participant, to pay the Participant’s Plan Account in a lump sum, to the extent permitted under Section 409A. All payments that may be made pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be made no earlier than the thirteenth month and no later than the twenty-fourth month after the termination of the Plan. The Corporation may not accelerate payments pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) if the termination of the Plan is proximate to a downturn in the Corporation’s financial health within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C)(1). If the Corporation exercises its discretion to accelerate payments under this Section 8.2(c), it shall not adopt any new arrangement that
would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination.
Section 8.3 - No Consent Required
The consent of any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall not be required with respect to any amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan.
ARTICLE IX - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 - Unsecured General Creditor
The Corporation’s obligations under the Plan constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future. Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ rights under the Plan are solely those of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. No assets will be placed in trust, set aside or otherwise segregated to fund or offset liabilities in respect of the Plan or Participants’ Plan Accounts.
Section 9.2 - Nonassignability
No Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any interest in the Plan. All Plan Accounts and the rights to all payments are unassignable and non-transferable. Plan Accounts or payment hereunder, prior to actual payment, will not be subject to attachment or seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments or other obligations. Plan Accounts or other Plan benefit will not be transferred by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any Beneficiary’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
Section 9.3 - No Contract of Employment
Participation in the Plan shall not be construed to constitute a direct or indirect contract of employment between any UTC Company and any Participant. Participants and Beneficiaries will have no rights against any UTC Company resulting from participation in the Plan other than as specifically provided herein. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any UTC Company for any length of time or to interfere with the right of any UTC Company to terminate a Participant’s employment.
Section 9.4 - Governing Law
The provisions of the Plan will be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut, to the extent not preempted by federal law.
Section 9.5 - Validity
If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
Section 9.6 - Notice
Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if sent by first-class mail, to the United Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Committee, 4 Farm Springs Road, MS4-2, Farmington, Connecticut 06032, Attn: Deferred Compensation Committee,. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be sufficient if provided either electronically, hand-delivered, or mailed to the address (or email address, as the case may be) of the Participant or Beneficiary then listed on the records of the Corporation. Any such notice will be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or email system.
Section 9.7 - Successors
The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity, which by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Corporation, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
Section 9.8 - Incompetence
If the Committee determines, upon evidence satisfactory to the Committee, that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian or other legal representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Committee and the Corporation, to the spouse of the Participant or other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expenses for the benefit of and on behalf of such Participant or Beneficiary. Any such payment from a Participant’s Plan Account shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan with respect to the amount so paid.
Section 9.9 - Section 409A Compliance
To the extent that rights or payments under this Plan are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan shall be construed and administered in compliance with the conditions of Section 409A and regulations and other guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A for deferral of income taxation until the time the compensation is paid. Any distribution election that would not comply with Section 409A of the Code shall not be effective for purposes of this Plan. To the extent that a provision of this
Plan does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be void and without effect. The Corporation does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment. In no event shall any UTC Company; any director, officer, or employee of a UTC Company (other than the Participant); or any member of the Committee be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.
Section 9.10
Withholding Taxes
The Committee may make any appropriate arrangements to deduct from all Contributions, vested Plan Accounts and distributions under the Plan any taxes that the Committee reasonably determines to be required by law to be withheld from such credits and payments.
ARTICLE X - ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS
Section 10.1 - Plan Administration
The Committee shall be solely responsible for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority and discretion to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to establish such administrative procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an interpretation or ruling under the Plan, or requesting information under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the Committee at 4 Farm Springs Road, Farmington, CT 06032, Attn: Deferred Compensation Committee. The Committee shall respond in writing as soon as practicable.
Section 10.2 - Claim Procedures
A Participant or Beneficiary who believes that he or she has been denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (referred to in this Section 10.2 as a “Claimant”) may file a written request with the Committee setting forth the claim. The Committee shall consider and resolve the claim as set forth below.
(a) Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the Claimant that a response will be forthcoming within 90 days. The Committee may, however, extend the response period for up to an additional 90 days for reasonable cause, and shall notify the Claimant of the reason for the extension and the expected response date. The Committee shall respond to the claim within the specified period.
(b) If the claim is denied in whole or part, the Committee shall provide the Claimant with a written decision, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth (1) the specific reason or reasons for such denial; (2) the specific reference to relevant provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; (4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; (5) the time limits for requesting a review of the claim; and (6) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
(c) Within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of the written decision denying the claim in whole or in part, the Claimant may request in writing that the Committee review the determination. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Claimant shall be barred from challenging the determination.
(d) Within 60 days after the Committee receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination. If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, the Committee will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.
(e) All decisions on review shall be final and binding with respect to all concerned parties. The decision on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (1) the specific reasons for the decision, including references to the relevant Plan provisions upon which the decision is based; (2) the Claimant’s right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information, relevant to his or her benefits; and (3) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
CERTAIN REGULATORY MATTERS
The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Because the Plan is an unfunded plan maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, the Plan is exempt from most of ERISA’s requirements. Although the Plan is subject to Part 1 (Reporting and Disclosure) and Part 5 (Administration and Enforcement) of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA, the Department of Labor has issued a regulation that exempts the Plan from most of ERISA’s reporting and disclosure requirements.

SAVINGS RESTORATION PLAN
Executed July 16, 2018
(As amended and restated effective January 1, 2011)
ARTICLE I - PREAMBLE
Section 1.1 - Purpose of the Plan
The United Technologies Corporation Savings Restoration Plan (“SRP” or the “Plan”) was established effective January 1, 2010 for the benefit of eligible employees of the Corporation and certain subsidiaries and affiliates of the Corporation (the “Employees”). The purpose of the SRP is to offer Employees the opportunity to defer a portion of their compensation in excess of the limitation imposed by Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “IRS Compensation Limit”) and to accrue benefits which are not provided under the United Technologies Corporation Employee Savings Plan (the “Qualified Savings Plan”) due to limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code or the IRS Compensation Limit.
The SRP shall constitute a “parallel excess plan” within the meaning of the New York Stock Exchange listing requirements. All or substantially all Employees who participate in the Qualified Savings Plan whose annual pensionable earnings are in excess of the IRS Compensation Limit are eligible to participate in the SRP under substantially similar terms and conditions as the Qualified Savings Plan, except for the elimination of specified limitations on contributions and benefits under the IRC. The SRP shall be administered and construed to effectuate the foregoing intent.
Section 1.2 - Effective Date of Plan and Amendments
The Plan as originally established effective January 1, 2010 is hereby amended and restated for the purpose of clarifying the intent of the Plan to provide for a Benefit Restoration Contribution credit
to the United Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan
; as well as other administrative revisions. Changes effected by this amendment and restatement are generally effective as of January 1, 2011.

Benefit Restoration Contribution
means an amount credited on behalf of the Participant to the United Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Plan (“DCP”) that would have been credited to the Participant’s UTC Contribution Plan Account under this Plan but for the reduction of such Participant’s Eligible Compensation due to an elective deferral of compensation by the Participant under the DCP. The Benefit Restoration Contribution will be determined in the same manner as provided for Benefit Reduction Contributions with respect to the Qualified Savings Plan under the terms of the DCP.
Code
means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time, and any successor thereto. Reference to any section of the Internal Revenue Code shall include any final regulations or other applicable guidance.

Disability
means permanent and total disability as determined under the Corporation’s long-term disability plan applicable to the Participant, or if there is no such plan applicable to the Participant, “Disability” means a determination of total disability by the Social Security Administration; provided that, in either case, the Participant’s condition also qualifies as a “disability” for purposes of Section 409A(a)(2)(C) of the Code.
Election Form
means the enrollment form provided by the Committee to Participants electronically or in paper form for the purpose of deferring Eligible Compensation under the Plan. Each Participant’s Election Form must specify the percentage of Eligible Compensation to be deferred with respect to the following calendar year; the percentage allocation among the Investment Funds with respect to the Participant Contribution Account; and if not previously elected for the Plan Accounts, the method of distribution.
Eligible Compensation
means Pensionable Earnings in excess of the IRS Compensation Limit for any Plan Year.

Section 3.2 - Participation
With respect to any calendar year for which the Committee offers the opportunity to defer Eligible Compensation, each eligible Participant may elect to participate in the Plan by timely filing with the Committee an Election Form, properly completed in accordance with Section 4.1. Participation in the Plan is entirely voluntary.
ARTICLE IV - PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS AND DESIGNATIONS
Section 4.1 - Election
An eligible Participant may, on or before the election deadline established by the Committee, make an electronic or written election on the Election Form provided by the Committee to defer Eligible Compensation for the immediately following calendar year.
Section 4.2 - Election Amount
An eligible Participant must designate in the Election Form the percentage of Eligible Compensation that will be deferred under the Plan, in a whole percentage between one and six percent.
Section 4.3 - Election Date
To defer Eligible Compensation under the Plan, an electronic or written Election Form must be completed and submitted to the Committee no later than the December 31 immediately preceding the calendar year to which the election applies, or such earlier date as the Committee may specify. To the extent an election is made to defer Eligible Compensation that includes an incentive compensation payment that qualifies as Performance-based Compensation as defined in Treas. Reg. §1.409A-1(e)), with respect to services to be performed in the current calendar year and otherwise payable in the immediately following calendar year, such election must be submitted to the Committee no later than the June 30 of the current calendar year, or such earlier date as the Committee may specify. In all other cases, the deferral election must be submitted by December 31
preceding the calendar year in which the Eligible Compensation is earned or such earlier date as the Committee may specify.
A deferral election shall be effective only if the individual making the election is still an eligible Participant at the election deadline. Except as provided below in Section 4.6 (Change in Election), the choices reflected on the Participant’s Election Form shall be irrevocable on the election deadline. An
eligible Employee must timely submit an election by the election deadline to be eligible to participate in the Plan. Once an election is made to defer Eligible Compensation, the election will be deemed an evergreen election and will be applied to future Plan years, unless the election is revised or cancelled during a subsequent annual enrollment period.
Section 4.4 - Distribution Election
At the time the Participant first elects to defer Eligible Compensation under this Plan, the Participant must at that time elect the method of distribution of the Participant’s Plan Accounts. Distribution options include a lump sum or two to fifteen annual installments. If no distribution election is made with respect to a Participant’s Plan Accounts, the distribution will be in a lump sum.
Section 4.5 - Investment Fund Allocations
When completing the Election Form, the Participant must allocate the amount to be deferred, in whole percentages, among the available Investment Funds. To the extent that the Participant fails to make an effective allocation among the available Investment Funds, the deferral shall be allocated entirely to the Income Fund. Participants may change the asset allocation of their existing Participant Contribution Account balance or future deferrals as permitted by the Committee. The Committee currently allows for daily reallocation. Allocation requests submitted after 4 p.m. EST or during a weekend or holiday, become effective the following business day.
Section 4.6 - Change in Election
A Participant may make an irrevocable election to change the form of distribution for the Plan Accounts. A change to the form of distribution must meet all of the following requirements:
(a)
The new election must be made at least twelve months prior to the date on which payments will commence under the current election and/or date of termination following attainment of age 50 (and the new election shall be ineffective if the payment commencement date under the current election occurs within twelve months after the date of the new election);
(b)
The new election will not take effect until at least twelve months after the date when the new election is submitted in a manner acceptable to the Committee; and
(c)
The new payment commencement date must be five years later than the date on which payments would commence under the current election.
A maximum of three change elections are allowed under the Plan.
Section 4.7 - [Removed]

Each Participant shall designate a Beneficiary for his or her Plan Account on an electronic or written form provided by the Committee. A Participant may change such designation on an electronic or written form acceptable to the Committee and will be effective on the date received by the Committee. Designations received after the date of the Participant’s death will not be effective. In the event that no Beneficiary designation is filed with the Committee before the Participant’s death, or if the Beneficiary (and any contingent Beneficiary) does not survive the Participant, the value of all Plan Accounts hereunder will be paid to the estate of the Participant. If a Participant designates the Participant’s spouse as the Participant’s Beneficiary, that designation shall not be revoked or otherwise altered or affected by any: (a) change in the marital status of the Participant; (b) agreement between the Participant and such spouse; or (c) judicial decree (such as a divorce decree) affecting any rights that the Participant and such spouse might have as a result of their marriage, separation, or divorce; it being the intent of the Plan that any change in the designation of a Beneficiary hereunder may be made by the Participant only in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 4.8. In the event of the death of a Participant, distributions shall be made in accordance with Section 7.6.
ARTICLE V - UTC CONTRIBUTIONS
Section 5.1 - Contribution Amount
The Corporation will credit a sixty percent (60%) matching contribution to the Plan on up to six percent (6%) of each Participant’s Eligible Compensation deferred under the Plan.
Section 5.2 - Eligibility for Contribution
No Participant shall receive an allocation of UTC Contributions until such Participant has met the participation requirements of Section 3.1(b) of the Plan.
Section 5.3 - Form of Contribution
Except as provided in Section 5.6, the UTC Contribution shall be provided in the form of hypothetical shares or units of UTC Common Stock. Participants may not exchange amounts credited to their UTC Contribution Account to other investment options. In no event shall the UTC Contribution to any Participant's UTC Contribution Accounts for any calendar year exceed 25% of annual earnings for such calendar year.
Section 5.4 - Timing of Contribution
Allocation of UTC Contributions and Participant deferrals shall generally be made to each Participant’s UTC Contribution Account on or immediately following each pay period, but no less frequently than once with respect to each Plan Year. The Corporation may in its sole discretion credit additional amounts to Participants’ UTC Contribution Accounts.
Section 5.5 - Vesting of Contributions
A Participant is always 100% vested in his or her deferrals into the Plan and associated earnings. A Participant shall be vested in the value of UTC Contributions credited to his or her Plan Account upon the first to occur of the following: participation in the Plan for two years; completion of three years of “Continuous Service” (as defined in the UTC Employee Retirement Plan as in effect on January 1, 2008), attainment of age 65, the death or disability of the Participant while employed by a UTC Company, the layoff of a Participant from a UTC Company due to lack of work, or the Participant’s entrance into the military service before completing two years of Plan participation. For purposes of this Section 5.5, a Participant's date of disability shall be the first day of the fifth month (or such other month as may from time to time be applicable under the federal Social Security Act) prior to the month for which a Participant first receives a disability benefit under the Social Security Act.
Section 5.6 - Benefit Restoration Contribution
At the end of each Plan Year, the Committee will determine whether a Participant is eligible to receive a Benefit Restoration Contribution, and will credit any applicable Benefit Restoration Contribution to the affected Participant’s account under the DCP in the same manner as provided for Benefit Restoration Contributions with respect to the Qualified Savings Plan under the terms of the DCP.
ARTICLE VI - PLAN ACCOUNTS
Section 6.1 - Accounts
A Participant Contribution Account and a UTC Contribution Account will be established for each Participant.
(a)
Participant Contribution Accounts. Participant Contribution Accounts shall be allocated or reallocated among Investment Funds in accordance with the Plan terms and each Participant’s instructions in the manner set forth in Section 4.5. Participant Contribution Accounts shall be credited with hypothetical investment fund shares or units on the applicable pay date on which Eligible Compensation would otherwise have been paid. Participant Contribution Accounts will be credited daily with investment earnings and losses, including dividends and capital gains, where applicable, in accordance with the Plan terms and a Participant’s investment elections.
(b)
UTC Contribution Accounts. UTC Contribution Accounts shall be credited with hypothetical shares or units of UTC Common Stock (“UTC Deferred Stock Units”), in the manner set forth in Article V. UTC Deferred Stock Units may not be exchanged for any other Investment
Funds.
UTC Contribution Accounts will be credited daily with investment earnings and losses, including dividends, associated with UTC Common Stock.
Section 6.2 - [Removed]
Section 6.3 - Valuation of UTC Stock Unit Fund
Deferred compensation allocated to the UTC Stock Unit Fund will be converted to UTC Deferred Stock Units, including fractional Stock Units. A UTC Deferred Stock Unit is equal to the closing price of one share of UTC Common Stock as reported on the composite tape of the New York Stock Exchange. The number of UTC Deferred Stock Units will be calculated by dividing the amount of Eligible Compensation deferred by the closing price of UTC Common Stock on the date when the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Fund. UTC Deferred Stock Units will be credited with dividend equivalent payments equal to the Corporation’s declared dividend on UTC Common Stock (if any). Such dividend equivalent payments will be converted to additional UTC Deferred Stock Units and fractional units using the closing price of UTC Common Stock as of the date such dividends are credited to the Participant’s UTC Stock Unit Fund.
Section 6.4 - Valuation of Investment Funds
Deferred compensation allocated to Investment Funds will be converted to the applicable Investment Fund units based on the closing share price of that Investment Fund as of date the deferred amount is credited to the Participant’s applicable Investment Fund. The value of the units of an Investment Fund will fluctuate on each business day based on the performance of the applicable Investment Fund.
Section 6.5 - Allocation to Accounts
During the year of deferral, deferred amounts will be allocated to the Participant’s Participant Contribution Account and Investment Funds as of the date the deferred amounts would otherwise have been paid to the Participant.
Section 6.6 - Reports to Participants
The Committee will provide or make available detailed information to Participants regarding the credited value of Plan Accounts, distribution elections, Beneficiary designations, and Investment Fund allocations. Such information may be provided via electronic media as determined by the Committee.
ARTICLE VII - DISTRIBUTION OF ACCOUNTS
Section 7.1 - Timing of Plan Distributions
Except as provided in Section 4.6 (concerning the five-year delay following a Change in Election), Section 7.4 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty), and Section 7.5 (concerning distributions to Specified Employees), the value of a Participant’s Plan
Accounts will be distributed (or
begin to be distributed) to the Participant in April of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant’s Separation from Service.
Section 7.2 - Method of Distribution
Except as provided in Section 7.4 (concerning Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty), Plan Accounts will be distributed to the Participant in a single lump-sum payment, or in a series of annual installment payments, in accordance with the Participant’s election on file. Annual installment distributions shall be payable to the Participant beginning as of the payment commencement date and continuing as of each anniversary of the payment commencement date thereafter until all installments have been paid. To determine the amount of each installment, the value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts on the payment date will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is the remaining number of scheduled installments.
Regardless of the distribution option elected, if the aggregate value of a Participant’s Plan Accounts, determined as of the payment commencement date, is less than the stated IRS Section 402g limit, the Committee will distribute the Participant’s entire Plan Account balance in a lump sum on the payment commencement date
.
Section 7.3 - Form of Distribution
Participant Contribution Account distributions will be made in cash and UTC Contribution Account distributions will be made in UTC Common Stock.
Section 7.4 - Separation from Service before Attaining Age Fifty
If a Participant’s Separation from Service occurs before the Participant attains age fifty (50), the full value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed to the Participant in a lump-sum payment in April of the calendar year following the calendar year of the Participant's Separation from Service (or, if the Participant is a Specified Employee at the time of his or her Separation from Service, on the date provided in Section 7.5, below, if later) regardless of the distribution option elected and regardless of any change in the distribution election.
Section 7.5 - Separation from Service of Specified Employees
Distributions to Specified Employees will not be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. All Plan Accounts shall continue to accrue hypothetical investment gains and losses as provided in Article VI until the distribution date.
Section 7.6 - Distribution in the Event of Death
In the event of the death of a Participant before the Participant’s Plan Account has been fully distributed, the full remaining value of the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary or the Participant’s estate in a lump sum on the first business day of the third month following the Participant’s death. Upon notification of death, pending distribution, the value of the Participant Contribution Account will be allocated to the Income Fund.
Section 7.7 - Accelerated Distribution in the Case of an Unforeseeable Emergency
(a)
Unforeseeable Emergency. The Committee may, upon a Participant’s written application, agree to an accelerated distribution of some or all of the value of a Participant's Plan Accounts upon the occurrence of an unforeseeable emergency. An “unforeseeable emergency” is a severe financial hardship to the Participant resulting from (1) an illness or accident of the Participant, the Participant’s spouse, the Participant’s Beneficiary, or the Participant’s dependent (as defined in IRC Section 152, without regard to Section 152(b)(1), (b)(2), and (d)(1)(B)); (2) loss of the Participant’s property due to casualty; or (3) other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant. Whether a Participant is faced with an unforeseeable emergency permitting a distribution is to be determined based on the relevant facts and circumstances of each case. Acceleration will not be granted if the emergency is or may be relieved through reimbursement or compensation from insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s assets (to the extent the liquidation of such assets would not cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan.
(b)
Amount of Distribution Permitted Upon an Unforeseeable Emergency. Distributions on account of an unforeseeable emergency, as defined in Section 7.7(a), shall be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need. Such amount may include amounts necessary to pay any Federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution.
(c)
The Committee will determine from which Investment Funds hardship distributions will be made. Any Participant who is an officer or director of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is not eligible for distributions on account of unforeseeable emergency.
Section 7.8 - Disability
In the event of the Disability of a Participant that qualifies as a “Separation from Service” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code, the Participant’s Plan Accounts will be distributed in accordance with the Participant’s elections on file.
Section 7.9 - Administrative Adjustments in Payment Date
A payment is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made on the due date specified by the Plan, or on a later date that is either (a) in the same calendar year (for a payment whose specified due date is on or before September 30), or (b) by the 15th day of the third calendar month following the date specified by the Plan (for a payment whose specified due date is on or after October 1). A payment also is treated as being made on the date when it is due under the Plan if the payment is made not more than 30 days before the due date specified by the Plan. In no event will a payment to a Specified Employee be made or commence earlier than the first day of the seventh month following the date of Separation from Service. A Participant may not, directly or indirectly, designate the taxable year of a payment made in reliance on the administrative rules in this Section 7.9.
ARTICLE VIII - AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN
Section 8.1 - Amendment
The Corporation may, at any time, amend the Plan in whole or in part, provided that no amendment may decrease the value of any Plan Accounts as of the date of such amendment. In the event of any change in law or regulation relating to the Plan and the tax treatment of Plan Accounts, the Plan shall, without further action by the Committee, be deemed to be amended to comply with any such change in law or regulation effective as of the first date necessary to prevent the taxation, constructive receipt or deemed distribution of Plan Accounts prior to the date Plan Accounts would be distributed under the provisions of Article VII.
Section 8.2 - Plan Suspension and Termination
(a)
The Corporation’s Pension Administration Committee, may, at any time, suspend or terminate the Plan with respect to new or existing Election Forms if, in its sole judgment, the continuance of the Plan, the tax, accounting, or other effects thereof, or potential payments thereunder would not be in the best interest of the Corporation or for any other reason.
(b)
In the event of the suspension of the Plan, no additional deferrals or UTC Contributions shall be made under the Plan. All previous deferrals and UTC Contributions shall accumulate and be distributed in accordance with the otherwise applicable provisions of the Plan and the applicable elections on file.
(c)
Upon the termination of the Plan with respect to all Participants, and the termination of all arrangements sponsored by the Corporation or its affiliates that would be aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”), the Corporation shall have the right, in its sole discretion, and notwithstanding any elections made by the
Participant, to pay the Participant’s Plan Accounts in a lump sum, to the extent permitted under Section 409A. All payments that may be made
pursuant to this
Section 8.2(c) shall be made no earlier than the thirteenth month and no later than the twenty-fourth month after the termination of the Plan. The Corporation may not accelerate payments pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) if the termination of the Plan is proximate to a downturn in the Corporation’s financial health within the meaning of Treas. Reg. section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(C)(1). If the Corporation exercises its discretion to accelerate payments under this Section 8.2(c), it shall not adopt any new arrangement that would have been aggregated with the Plan under Section 409A within three years following the date of the Plan’s termination.
Section 8.3 - No Consent Required
The consent of any Participant, Beneficiary, or other person shall not be required with respect to any amendment, suspension, or termination of the Plan.
ARTICLE IX - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 - Unsecured General Creditor
The Corporation’s obligations under the Plan constitute an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money or deliver shares in the future. Participants’ and Beneficiaries’ rights under the Plan are solely those of a general unsecured creditor of the Corporation. No assets will be placed in trust, set aside or otherwise segregated to fund or offset liabilities in respect of the Plan or Participants’ Plan Accounts.
Section 9.2 - Nonassignability
No Participant or Beneficiary or any other person shall have the right to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise encumber any interest in the Plan. All Plan Accounts and the rights to all payments are unassignable and non-transferable. Plan Accounts or payment hereunder, prior to actual payment, will not be subject to attachment or seizure for the payment of any debts, judgments or other obligations. Plan Accounts or other Plan benefit will not be transferred by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any Beneficiary’s bankruptcy or insolvency.
Section 9.3 - No Contract of Employment
Participation in the Plan shall not be construed to constitute a direct or indirect contract of employment between any UTC Company and any Participant. Participants and Beneficiaries will have no rights against any UTC Company resulting from participation in the Plan other than as specifically provided herein. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give a Participant the right to be retained in the service of any UTC Company for any length of time or to interfere with the right of any UTC Company to terminate a Participant’s employment prior to the end of any Deferral Period.
Section 9.4 - Governing Law
The provisions of the Plan will be construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of Connecticut, to the extent not preempted by federal law.
Section 9.5 - Validity
If any provision of the Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for any reason, the remaining provisions of the Plan will be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.
Section 9.6 - Notice
Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to the Committee under the Plan shall be sufficient if sent by first-class mail, to the United Technologies Corporation Deferred Compensation Committee, 4 Farm Springs Road, Farmington, CT 06032, Attn: Deferred Compensation Committee, MS 4FS-2. Any notice or filing required or permitted to be given to any Participant or Beneficiary under the Plan shall be sufficient if provided either electronically, hand-delivered, or mailed to the address (or email address, as the case may be) of the Participant or Beneficiary then listed on the records of the Corporation. Any such notice will be deemed given as of the date of delivery or, if delivery is made by mail, as of the date shown on the postmark or email system.
Section 9.7 - Successors
The provisions of the Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Corporation and its successors and assigns. The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity, which by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquires all or substantially all of the business and assets of the Corporation, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
Section 9.8 - Incompetence
If the Committee determines, upon evidence satisfactory to the Committee, that any Participant or Beneficiary to whom a benefit is payable under the Plan is unable to care for his or her affairs because of illness or accident, any payment due (unless prior claim therefore shall have been made by a duly authorized guardian or other legal representative) may be paid, upon appropriate indemnification of the Committee and the Corporation, to the spouse of the
Participant or other person deemed by the Committee to have incurred expenses for the benefit of and on behalf of such Participant or Beneficiary. Any such payment from a Participant’s Plan Accounts shall be a complete discharge of any liability under the Plan with respect to the amount so paid.
Section 9.9 - Section 409A Compliance
To the extent that rights or payments under this Plan are subject to Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, the Plan shall be construed and administered in compliance with the conditions of Section 409A and regulations and other guidance issued pursuant to Section 409A for deferral of income taxation until the time the compensation is paid. Any distribution election that would not comply with Section 409A of the Code shall not be effective for purposes of this Plan. To the extent that a provision of this Plan does not comply with Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be void and without effect. The Corporation does not warrant that the Plan will comply with Section 409A of the Code with respect to any Participant or with respect to any payment. In no event shall any UTC Company; any director, officer, or employee of a UTC Company (other than the Participant); or any member of the Committee be liable for any additional tax, interest, or penalty incurred by a Participant or Beneficiary as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, or as a result of the Plan’s failure to satisfy any other requirements of applicable tax laws.
Section 9.10 - Withholding Taxes
The Committee may make any appropriate arrangements to deduct from all deferrals, Contributions, vested Plan Accounts, and distributions under the Plan, any taxes that the Committee reasonably determines to be required by law to be withheld from such credits and payments.
ARTICLE X - ADMINISTRATION AND CLAIMS
Section 10.1 - Plan Administration
The Committee shall be solely responsible for the administration and operation of the Plan. The Committee shall have full and exclusive authority and discretion to interpret the provisions of the Plan and to establish such administrative procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Plan.
Any person claiming a benefit, requesting an interpretation or ruling under the Plan, or requesting information under the Plan shall present the request in writing to the Committee at United Technologies Corporation, 4 Farm Springs Road, Farmington, CT 06032, Attn: Deferred Compensation Committee. The Committee shall respond in writing as soon as practicable.
Section 10.2 - Claim Procedures
A Participant or Beneficiary who believes that he or she has been denied a benefit to which he or she is entitled under the Plan (referred to in this Section 10.2 as a “Claimant”) may file a written request with the Committee setting forth the claim. The Committee shall consider and resolve the claim as set forth below.
(a) Upon receipt of a claim, the Committee shall advise the Claimant that a response will be forthcoming within 90 days. The Committee may, however, extend the response period for up to an additional 90 days for reasonable cause, and shall notify the Claimant of the reason for the extension and the expected response date. The Committee shall respond to the claim within the specified period.
(b) If the claim is denied in whole or part, the Committee shall provide the Claimant with a written decision, using language calculated to be understood by the Claimant, setting forth (1) the specific reason or reasons for such denial; (2) the specific reference to relevant provisions of this Plan on which such denial is based; (3) a description of any additional material or information necessary for the Claimant to perfect his or her claim and an explanation why such material or such information is necessary; (4) appropriate information as to the steps to be taken if the Claimant wishes to submit the claim for review; (5) the time limits for requesting a review of the claim; and (6) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
(c) Within 60 days after the Claimant’s receipt of the written decision denying the claim in whole or in part, the Claimant may request in writing that the Committee review the determination. The Claimant or his or her duly authorized representative may, but need not, review the relevant documents and submit issues and comment in writing for consideration by the Committee. If the Claimant does not request a review of the initial determination within such 60-day period, the Claimant shall be barred from challenging the determination.
(d) Within 60 days after the Committee receives a request for review, it will review the initial determination. If special circumstances require that the 60-day time period be extended, the Committee will so notify the Claimant and will render the decision as soon as possible, but no later than 120 days after receipt of the request for review.
(e) All decisions on review shall be final and binding with respect to all concerned parties. The decision on review shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant, (1) the specific reasons for the decision, including references to the relevant Plan provisions upon which the decision is based; (2) the Claimant’s right to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information, relevant to his or her benefits; and (3) the Claimant’s right to bring an action for benefits under Section 502(a) of ERISA.
CERTAIN REGULATORY MATTERS
The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”). Because the Plan is an unfunded plan maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, the
Plan is exempt from most of ERISA’s requirements. Although the Plan is subject to Part 1 (Reporting and Disclosure) and Part 5 (Administration and Enforcement) of Title I, Subtitle B of ERISA, the Department of Labor has issued a regulation that exempts the Plan from most of ERISA’s reporting and disclosure requirements.
TO WHOM SHOULD QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE PLAN BE DIRECTED?
All questions concerning the operation of the Plan (including information concerning the administrators of the Plan) should be directed to:
