They are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in the light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties, which can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. These forward-looking statements should be considered in the light of the information included in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors, as well as the description of trends and other factors in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) at March 31, 2016, the results of operations for the quarter and three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 and the cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the results of operations expected for the entire year.

 

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were April 2, 2016 and March 28, 2015. We estimate that our sales in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015 include an approximate 3 percent benefit from additional reporting days in the current year period resulting from our normal quarterly closing procedures.

 

Note 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The effective date was deferred for one year to the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date – interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for leases which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued amended guidance related to employee share-based payment accounting. The guidance requires all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled and will be applied on a prospective basis. The guidance also requires presentation of excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity, and can be applied retrospectively or prospectively. The guidance increases the amount companies can withhold to cover income taxes on awards without triggering liability classification for shares used to satisfy statutory income tax withholding obligations and requires application of a modified retrospective transition method. The amended guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

December 15, 2016; early adoption is permitted if all provisions are adopted in the same period. We are evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related disclosures.

 

Note 3. Acquisitions

 

During the first quarter of 2016, we acquired businesses for an aggregate cost (net of cash acquired and debt assumed) of $1,053 million.

 

On April 1, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of Xtralis International Holdings Limited (Xtralis), a leading global provider of aspiration smoke detection and perimeter security technologies, for an aggregate cost, net of cash acquired and debt assumed, of approximately $515 million. Xtralis is part of Automation and Control Solutions (ACS).

 

In February 2016, the Company acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of COM DEV International (COM DEV), a leading satellite and space components provider, for an aggregate value, net of cash acquired and debt assumed, of approximately $347 million. COM DEV is part of Aerospace and had reported 2015 fiscal year revenues of approximately $159 million.

 

The assets and liabilities of Xtralis and COM DEV have been included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2016, including $331 million and $177 million allocated to goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes.

 

In December 2015, the Company acquired the Elster Division of Melrose Industries plc (Elster) for an aggregate value, net of cash acquired, of approximately $4,899 million. Elster is part of ACS and PMT. The following table summarizes the updated estimate of fair values of the Elster assets and liabilities acquired as of the acquisition date:

 

Current assets   $ 533  
Intangible assets     2,255  
Other noncurrent assets     209  
Current liabilities     (426 )
Noncurrent liabilities     (929 )
Net assets acquired     1,642  
Noncontrolling interest     (3 )
Goodwill     3,260  
Purchase Price   $ 4,899  

 

The purchase accounting for Xtralis, COM DEV and Elster is subject to final adjustment, primarily for the valuation of intangible assets, amounts allocated to goodwill, tax balances and certain pre-acquisition contingencies.

Note 4. Repositioning and Other Charges

 

A summary of repositioning and other charges follows:

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,
    2016     2015
Severance   $ 28     $ 37  
Asset impairments     7       8  
Exit costs     2       1  
Adjustments     (17 )     (7 )
Total net repositioning charge     20       39  
                 
Asbestos related litigation charges, net of insurance     53       46  
Probable and reasonably estimable environmental liabilities     52       46  
                 
Total net repositioning and other charges   $ 125     $ 131  

 

The following table summarizes the pretax distribution of total net repositioning and other charges by income statement classification:

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,
    2016     2015
Cost of products and services sold   $ 105     $ 122  
Selling, general and administrative expenses     20       9  
    $ 125     $ 131  

 

The following table summarizes the pretax impact of total net repositioning and other charges by segment:

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,
    2016     2015
Aerospace   $ 49     $ 48  
Automation and Control Solutions     7       24  
Performance Materials and Technologies     9       7  
Corporate     60       52  
    $ 125     $ 131  

 

In the quarter ended March 31, 2016, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $37 million including severance costs of $28 million related to workforce reductions of 293 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in ACS and Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT). The workforce reductions were primarily related to achieving acquisition-related synergies and outsourcing of certain packaging operations. Also, $17 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, in ACS and PMT, were returned to income primarily as a result of higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance programs resulting in lower required severance payments.

 

In the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $46 million including severance costs of $37 million related to workforce reductions of 3,040 manufacturing and administrative positions across our segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to cost savings actions taken in

connection with our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives and outsourcing of certain component manufacturing in ACS.

 

The following table summarizes the status of our total repositioning reserves:

 

    Severance     Asset     Exit        
    Costs   Impairments   Costs   Total
December 31, 2015   $ 329     $ -     $ 21     $ 350  
Charges     28       7       2       37  
Usage - cash     (53 )     -       (1 )     (54 )
Usage - noncash     -       (7 )     -       (7 )
Foreign currency translation     6       -       -       6  
Adjustments     (16 )     -       (1 )     (17 )
March 31, 2016   $ 294     $ -     $ 21     $ 315  

 

Certain repositioning projects in 2016 and 2015 included exit or disposal activities, the costs related to which will be recognized in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. Such exit and disposal costs are not expected to be significant.

In February 2016, the Company issued €1,000 million Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2018, €1,000 million 0.65% Senior Notes due 2020, €1,250 million 1.30% Senior Notes due 2023 and €750 million 2.25% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively, the “Notes”). The Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Honeywell and rank equally with all of Honeywell’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of Honeywell’s subordinated debt. The offering resulted in gross proceeds of $4,438 million, offset by $17 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.

 

We have entered into a $3 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement (364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks. The 364-Day Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes.

 

We have also entered into a $4 billion Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks. The Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes. Commitments under the Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $4.5 billion.

 

There have been no borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement or the Credit Agreement.

 

Note 9. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

 

Our credit, market, foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies are described in Note 14, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures, of Notes to Financial Statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

Assets:                
Foreign currency exchange contracts   $ 22     $ 28  
Available for sale investments     1,352       1,501  
Interest rate swap agreements     121       92  
                 
Liabilities:                
Foreign currency exchange contracts   $ 62     $ 17  

 

The foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are valued using broker quotations or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. These derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company holds investments in certificates of deposits, time deposits and commercial paper that are designated as available for sale and are valued using published prices based on observable market data. These investments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds available for sale investments in U.S. government and corporate debt securities valued utilizing published prices based on quoted market pricing, which are classified within level 1.

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper and short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were not carried at fair value:

 

    March 31, 2016   December 31, 2015
      Carrying     Fair     Carrying     Fair
    Value     Value     Value     Value
Assets                                
Long-term receivables   $ 299     $ 294     $ 292     $ 283  
Liabilities                                
Long-term debt and related current maturities   $ 10,326     $ 10,976     $ 6,131     $ 6,721  

 

The Company determined the fair value of the long-term receivables by discounting based upon the terms of the receivable and counterparty details including credit quality. The fair value of these receivables is considered level 2. The Company determined the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities utilizing transactions in the listed markets for identical or similar liabilities. The fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities is also considered level 2.

 

Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedge relationships with gains or losses on the derivative recognized in Interest and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying debt being hedged. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $29 million and $15 million of gains in the Consolidated Statement of Operations on interest rate swap agreements. Gains and losses are fully offset by losses and gains on the underlying debt being hedged.

 

We also economically hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally with forward contracts. These contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings offsetting the gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged. We recognized $32 million and $162 million of expense in Other (income) expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

Note 11. Segment Financial Data

 

We globally manage our business operations through three reportable operating segments. Segment information is consistent with how management reviews the businesses, makes investing and resource allocation decisions and assesses operating performance.

 

Honeywell’s senior management evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. Segment profit is measured as business unit income (loss) before taxes excluding general corporate unallocated expense, other income (expense), interest and other financial charges, pension and other postretirement income (expense), stock compensation expense, repositioning and other charges.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Environmental Matters

 

Our environmental matters are described in Note 19, Commitments and Contingencies, of Notes to Financial Statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded liabilities for environmental costs:

 

December 31, 2015   $ 518          
Accruals for environmental matters deemed probable and reasonably estimable     52          
Environmental liability payments     (31 )        
March 31, 2016   $ 539          

 

Environmental liabilities are included in the following balance sheet accounts:

 

    March 31,     December 31,  
    2016     2015  
Accrued liabilities   $ 253     $ 253  
Other liabilities     286       265  
    $ 539     $ 518  

 

We do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of environmental liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined although they could be material to our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

 

Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NY —We are implementing a combined dredging/capping remedy of Onondaga Lake pursuant to a consent decree approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York in January 2007. We have accrued for our estimated cost of remediating Onondaga Lake based on currently available information and analysis performed by our engineering consultants. Honeywell is also conducting remedial investigations and activities at other sites in Syracuse. We have recorded reserves for these investigations and activities where appropriate, consistent with the accounting policy described above.

 

Honeywell has entered into a cooperative agreement with potential natural resource trustees to assess alleged natural resource damages relating to this site. It is not possible to predict the outcome or duration of this

assessment, or the amounts of, or responsibility for, any damages.

 

Asbestos Matters

 

Honeywell is a defendant in asbestos related personal injury actions related to two predecessor companies:

 

North American Refractories Company (NARCO), which was sold in 1986, produced refractory products (bricks and cement used in high temperature applications). Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing refractory products in an occupational setting.

 

Bendix Friction Materials (Bendix) business, which was sold in 2014, manufactured automotive brake parts that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake replacements.

 

The following tables summarize information concerning NARCO and Bendix asbestos related balances:

 

Asbestos Related Liabilities                  
    Bendix     NARCO     Total  
December 31, 2015   $ 622     $ 921     $ 1,543

NARCO Products –In connection with NARCO’s emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2013, a federally authorized 524(g) trust (NARCO Trust) was established for the evaluation and resolution of all existing and future NARCO asbestos claims. Both Honeywell and NARCO are protected by a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing products to be made against the NARCO Trust. The NARCO Trust reviews submitted claims and determines award amounts in accordance with established Trust Distribution Procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court which set forth the criteria claimants

17

Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

must meet to qualify for compensation including, among other things, exposure and medical criteria that determine the award amount. In addition, Honeywell provided, and continues to provide, input to the design of control procedures for processing NARCO claims, and has on-going audit rights to review and monitor the claims processors’ adherence to the established requirements of the Trust Distribution Procedures.

 

Honeywell is obligated to fund NARCO asbestos claims submitted to the NARCO Trust which qualify for payment under the Trust Distribution Procedures (Annual Contribution Claims), subject to annual caps of $140 million in the years 2016 through 2018 and $145 million for each year thereafter. However, the initial $100 million of claims processed through the NARCO Trust (the Initial Claims Amount) will not count against the annual cap and any unused portion of the Initial Claims Amount will roll over to subsequent years until fully utilized. In 2015, Honeywell filed suit against the NARCO Trust in Bankruptcy Court alleging breach of certain provisions of the Trust Agreement and Trust Distribution Procedures. The parties agreed to dismiss the proceeding without prejudice pursuant to an 18 month Standstill Agreement. Claims processing will continue during this period subject to a defined dispute resolution process. As of March 31, 2016, Honeywell has not made any payments to the NARCO Trust for Annual Contribution Claims.

 

Honeywell is also responsible for payments due to claimants pursuant to settlement agreements reached during the pendency of the NARCO bankruptcy proceedings that provide for the right to submit claims to the NARCO Trust subject to qualification under the terms of the settlement agreements and Trust Distribution Procedures criteria (Pre-established Unliquidated Claims), which amounts are estimated at $150 million and are expected to be paid during the initial years of trust operations ($5 million of which has been paid since the effective date of the NARCO Trust). Such payments are not subject to the annual cap described above.

 

Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for pre-established unliquidated claims ($145 million), unsettled claims pending as of the time NARCO filed for bankruptcy protection ($32 million) and for the estimated value of future NARCO asbestos claims expected to be asserted against the NARCO Trust through 2018 ($743 million). In the absence of actual trust experience on which to base the estimate, Honeywell projected the probable value of asbestos related future liabilities, including trust claim handling costs, based on a commonly accepted methodology used by numerous bankruptcy courts addressing 524(g) trusts. Some critical assumptions underlying this methodology include claims filing rates, disease criteria and payment values contained in the Trust Distribution Procedures, estimated approval rates of claims submitted to the NARCO Trust and epidemiological studies estimating disease instances. This projection resulted in a range of estimated liability of $743 million to $961 million. We believe that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount and accordingly, we have recorded the minimum amount in the range. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections and in connection with the recent implementation of the Trust Distribution Procedures by the NARCO Trust, as well as the stay of all NARCO asbestos claims which remained in place throughout NARCO’s Chapter 11 case, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating NARCO asbestos claims beyond 2018.

 

Our insurance receivable corresponding to the estimated liability for pending and future NARCO asbestos claims reflects coverage which reimburses Honeywell for portions of NARCO-related indemnity and defense costs and is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. We conduct analyses to estimate the probable amount of insurance that is recoverable for asbestos claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. We made judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings and our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers.

 

Projecting future events is subject to many uncertainties that could cause the NARCO-related asbestos liabilities or assets to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. Given the uncertainties, we review our estimates periodically, and update them based on our experience and other relevant factors. Similarly, we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other developments that may impact insurance recoveries.

Nonmalignant claims   $ 100     $ 120     $ 850     $ 1,400     $ 1,000  

 

It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix-related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

 

Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending (claims actually filed as of the financial statement date) and future Bendix-related asbestos claims. We have valued Bendix pending and future claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. We update the resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix pending and future claims during the fourth quarter each year.

 

The liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against Bendix over the next five years. Such estimated cost of future Bendix-related asbestos claims is based on historic claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and resolution values in the tort system for the previous five years. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections, as well as certain factors unique to friction product asbestos claims, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond the next five years. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims is similar to that used to estimate the liability for future NARCO-related asbestos claims.

 

Our insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and future Bendix asbestos claims reflects coverage which is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Based on our ongoing analysis of the probable insurance recovery, insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the estimated liability for the underlying asbestos claims. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers.

 

Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and reserves to cover all pending Bendix-related

19

Honeywell International Inc.

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

asbestos claims and Bendix-related asbestos claims estimated to be filed within the next five years. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of either pending or future Bendix-related asbestos claims, we do not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average resolution value of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid (collectively, the Variable Claims Factors) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix-related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not change.

 

Other Matters

 

We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters are the following:

 

Honeywell v. United Auto Workers (UAW) et. al —In July 2011, Honeywell filed an action in federal court (District of New Jersey) against the UAW and all former employees who retired under a series of Master Collective Bargaining Agreements (MCBAs) between Honeywell and the UAW seeking a declaratory judgment that certain express limitations on its obligation to contribute toward the healthcare coverage of such retirees (the CAPS) set forth in the MCBAs may be implemented, effective January 1, 2012. The UAW and certain retiree defendants filed a mirror suit in the Eastern District of Michigan alleging that the MCBAs do not provide for CAPS on the Company’s liability for healthcare coverage. The New Jersey action was dismissed and Honeywell subsequently answered the UAW’s complaint in Michigan and asserted counterclaims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and breach of implied warranty. The UAW filed a motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The court dismissed Honeywell’s fraudulent inducement and negligent misrepresentation claims, but let stand the claim for breach of implied warranty. In the second quarter of 2014, the parties agreed to stay the proceedings with respect to those retirees who retired before the initial inclusions of the CAPS in the 2003 MCBA until the Supreme Court decided the M&G Polymers USA, LLC v. Tackett case. In a ruling on January 26, 2015, the Supreme Court held that retiree health insurance benefits provided in collective bargaining agreements do not carry an inference that they are vested or guaranteed to continue for life and that the “vesting” issue must be decided pursuant to ordinary principles of contract law. The stay of the proceedings has been lifted and the case is again proceeding. Based on the Supreme Court’s ruling, Honeywell is confident that the CAPS will be upheld and that its liability for healthcare coverage premiums with respect to the putative class will be limited as negotiated and expressly set forth in the applicable MCBAs. In the event of an adverse ruling, however, Honeywell’s other postretirement benefits for pre-2003 retirees would increase by approximately $176 million, reflecting the estimated value of these CAPS.

 

In December 2013, the UAW and certain of the plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to those retirees who retired after the initial inclusion of the CAPS in the 2003 MCBA. The UAW sought a ruling that the 2003 MCBA did not limit Honeywell’s obligation to contribute to healthcare coverage for the post-2003 retirees. That motion remains pending. Honeywell is confident that the Court will find that the 2003 MCBA does, in fact, limit Honeywell’s retiree healthcare obligation for post-2003 retirees. In the event of an adverse ruling, however, Honeywell’s other postretirement benefits for post-2003 retirees would increase by approximately $110 million, reflecting the estimated value of these CAPS.

 

Joint Strike Fighter Investigation - In 2013 the Company received subpoenas from the Department of Justice requesting information relating primarily to parts manufactured in the United Kingdom and China used in the F-35 fighter jet. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation. While we believe that Honeywell has complied with all relevant U.S. laws and regulations regarding the manufacture of these sensors, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation or what action, if any, may result from it.

 

Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations (including the specific matters referenced

above), we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters (other than as specifically set forth above). Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (MD&A)
  (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

 

The following MD&A is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The financial information as of March 31, 2016 should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 contained in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

A. Results of Operations – three months ended March 31, 2016 compared with the three months ended March 31, 2015

 

Net Sales

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
Net sales   $ 9,522     $ 9,213  
% change compared with prior period     3 %        

 

The change in net sales compared to the prior year period is attributable to the following:

 

    Three Months        
Foreign Exchange     (2 )%        
Acquisitions/Divestitures     5 %        
      3 %        

 

A discussion of net sales by segment can be found in the Review of Business Segments section of this MD&A.

 

See Note 1 Basis of Presentation of Notes to Financial Statements for further discussion, including the estimated impact from additional reporting days in the current year period resulting from our normal quarterly closing procedures.

 

A discussion of net sales by segment can be found in the Review of Business Segments section of this MD&A. The foreign currency translation impact is principally driven by the weakening of the Euro and Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar.

 

Cost of Products and Services Sold

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
Cost of products and services sold   $ 6,547     $ 6,362  
% change compared with prior period     3 %        
Gross margin percentage     31.2 %     30.9 %

 

Cost of products and services sold increased principally due to an increase in direct material and labor costs of approximately $220 million (driven primarily by acquisitions, partially offset by the favorable impact from productivity and foreign currency translation) and increased amortization and depreciation expense of approximately $35 million, partially offset by higher pension and other postretirement income of approximately $55 million.

 

Gross margin percentage increased primarily due to higher segment gross margin in Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies (PMT) (approximately 0.6 percentage point impact collectively) and increased pension and other postretirement benefits income allocated to cost of products and services sold

22

(approximately 0.5 percentage point impact), partially offset by lower segment gross margin in Automation and Control Solutions (ACS) (approximately 0.8 percentage point impact), principally attributed to acquisitions.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
Selling, general and administrative expenses   $ 1,280     $ 1,230  
% of sales     13.4 %     13.4 %

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily driven by an increase in labor costs (principally attributed to acquisitions and merit increases, partially offset by a reduction in incentive compensation), partially offset by the favorable impact from foreign currency translation.

 

Tax Expense

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
             
Tax expense   $ 432     $ 418  
Effective tax rate     26.5 %     26.7 %

 

The effective tax rates for the three months ended in 2016 and 2015 were lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due, in part, to non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates, the vast majority of which we intend to permanently reinvest outside the United States, and benefits from manufacturing incentives.

 

The Company currently expects the effective tax rate for 2016 to be approximately 26.5%. The effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter due to unusual or infrequently occurring items, the resolution of income tax audits, changes in tax laws or other items such as pension mark-to-market adjustments.

 

Net Income Attributable to Honeywell

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
             
Net income attributable to Honeywell   $ 1,186     $ 1,116  
                 
Earnings per share of common stock – assuming dilution   $ 1.53     $ 1.41  

 

Earnings per share of common stock – assuming dilution increased primarily due to increased segment profit in Aerospace and ACS, offset by decreased segment profit in PMT, higher pension and other postretirement income and a decrease in the weighted average shares outstanding.

Total % Change     3 %     6 %        

 

Aerospace sales increased primarily driven by growth from organic sales and acquisitions, net of divestitures, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.

24
  Commercial Aviation Original Equipment sales increased by 3% (increased 4% organic) driven primarily by higher business and general aviation engine shipments and demand from air transport and regional customers, partially offset by higher incentives to air transport and regional original equipment manufacturers (OEM Incentives).
     
  Commercial Aviation Aftermarket sales increased by 6% (increased 6% organic) driven primarily by higher repair and overhaul activities and increased spares shipments to air transport and regional customers.
     
  Defense and Space sales decreased by 1% (decreased 2% organic) primarily due to declines in international programs and lower U.S. government services revenue, partially offset by sales from the COM DEV acquisition.
     
  Transportation Systems sales increased by 3% (increased 6% organic) driven primarily by growth from new platform launches and higher global turbo penetration, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.

 

Aerospace segment profit increased primarily due to an increase in operational segment profit, partially offset by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The increase in operational segment profit is driven primarily by productivity, net of inflation, and favorable pricing, partially offset by continued investments for growth. Cost of products and services sold increased primarily due to higher organic sales volumes, partially offset by productivity, net of inflation, and foreign currency translation.

Total % Change     13 %     3 %        

 

ACS sales increased primarily due to growth from acquisitions and organic sales growth, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.

 

  Sales in Energy, Safety & Security increased by 16% (flat organic) principally due to the Elster acquisition partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. Flat organic sales were primarily the result of increased sales volumes in Security and Fire across all regions offset by decreased sales volumes in Sensing & Productivity Solutions.
     
  Sales in Building Solutions & Distribution increased by 5% (increased 11% organic) principally due to increased sales volume in the Americas Distribution business and growth in the project installation and services businesses, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
25

ACS segment profit increased due to higher operational segment profit and acquisitions, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in operational segment profit is primarily due to the positive impact of price and productivity net of inflation, partially offset by continued investments for growth. Cost of products and services sold increased primarily due to acquisitions and higher sales volume partially offset by the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and productivity net of inflation.

Total % Change     (9 )%     (12 )%        

 

PMT sales decreased due to a decrease in organic sales volumes and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by growth from acquisitions.

 

UOP sales decreased 38% (decreased 37% organic) driven primarily by lower gas processing revenues due to a significant slowdown in customer projects, which is expected to continue, decreased catalyst volumes, which are expected to moderate during the year, and decreased equipment sales.

 

Process Solutions sales increased 10% (increased 9% organic) driven primarily by higher revenues in projects and increased volumes in field products driven by the Elster acquisition, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.

 

Advanced Materials sales increased 10% (increased 7% organic) primarily driven by increased volumes in Fluorine Products and Specialty Products, partially offset by lower raw material pass-through pricing in Resins and Chemicals.

 

PMT segment profit decreased due to a decrease in operational segment profit and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by acquisitions. The decrease in operational segment profit is primarily due to lower organic sales volume, particularly in UOP as described above. Cost of products and services sold decreased primarily due to the favorable impacts of lower organic sales volumes, foreign currency translation, productivity and inflation, partially offset by acquisitions.

 

Repositioning Charges

 

Our repositioning actions are expected to generate incremental pretax savings of $175 million to $200 million in 2016 compared with 2015 principally from planned workforce reductions. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $54 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and was funded through

26

operating cash flows. In 2016, we expect cash spending for repositioning actions to be approximately $175 million and to be funded through operating cash flows.

 

B. Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flow Summary

 

    Three Months Ended  
    March 31,  
    2016     2015  
Cash provided by (used for):                
Operating activities   $ 257     $ 421  
Investing activities     (1,196 )     (920 )
Financing activities     (161 )     367  
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash     118       (252 )
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents   $ (982 )   $ (384 )

 

Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $164 million primarily due to increased cash tax payments of $202 million, partially offset by the absence of $151 million in OEM incentive payments in 2015.

 

Cash used for investing activities increased by $276 million primarily due to an increase in cash paid for acquisitions of $871 million most significantly Xtralis International Holdings Limited and COM DEV International, partially offset by a net $439 million decrease in investments, primarily short term marketable securities and a decrease of $187 million in settlement payments of foreign currency exchange contracts used as economic hedges on certain non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

 

Cash used for financing activities increased by $528 million primarily due to (i) an increase in net repurchases of common stock of $766 million, (ii) the acquisition of the remaining 30% noncontrolling interest of UOP Russell LLC for $238 million and (iii) an increase in cash dividends paid of $84 million including amounts paid to former UOP Russell LLC noncontrolling shareholder, partially offset by an increase in the net proceeds from debt issuances of $559 million.

 

Liquidity

 

The Company continues to manage its businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. In addition to our available cash and operating cash flows, additional sources of liquidity include committed credit lines, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, as well as access to the public debt and equity markets. We continue to balance our cash and financing uses through investment in our existing core businesses, debt reduction, acquisition activity, share repurchases and dividends.

 

We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade our combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify business units that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability or growth potential. These businesses are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring or other repositioning actions subject to regulatory constraints.

 

In 2016, we are not required to make contributions to our U.S. pension plans. We plan to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $160 million ($106 million of marketable securities were contributed in January 2016) to our non-U.S. plans to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. The timing and amount of contributions to both our U.S. and non-U.S. plans may be impacted by a number of factors, including the funded status of the plans.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased $1,156 million of outstanding shares. Under the Company’s previously reported $5 billion share repurchase program, $1.0 billion remained

27

available as of March 31, 2016 for additional share repurchases. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time to offset the dilutive impact over the long-term of employee stock based compensation plans, including future option exercises, restricted unit vesting and matching contributions under our savings plans. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and the level of operating, financing and other investing activities.

Dear Darius:

 

I am pleased to confirm your promotion to President of Honeywell Process Solutions (Band 6), located in either Bracknell, U.K. or Houston Texas, reporting to Roger Fradin. Your promotion will be effective on the date (which date will be within the next ninety (90) days) mutually agreed upon between you and Roger, in writing (the “Effective Date”).

 

COMPENSATION

 

Base Salary: As of the Effective Date, your annual base salary will be increased to $525,000.00. Base salary reviews occur annually and any adjustments are generally at the end of the first quarter of the calendar year. Adjustments are based on your performance and other relevant factors. You will next be eligible for a merit increase in March 2013.

 

Annual Incentive Compensation: As of the Effective Date, your target incentive compensation opportunity will be increased to 60% of your annual cash base salary earnings during the year. Incentive compensation awards are paid in the first quarter of the following year. For 2012, your incentive compensation shall be pro-rated to reflect the portion of the year that your incentive target was 60% versus 50%.

 

Long Term Incentive Awards: You will continue to be eligible for annual long-term incentive awards consisting of stock options, restricted stock units, or cash awards, or some combination thereof, as determined by the Company in its discretion. The actual grant sizes, if any, will be determined by your performance and future career potential with Honeywell. The terms of all long-term incentive awards are governed by the terms of the applicable stock plan and the relevant award agreements.

 

OTHER EXECUTIVE BENEFITS

 

You will continue to be entitled to the following Executive Benefits:

Vacation : You will be eligible for four (4) weeks’ vacation.
Excess Liability Insurance : Honeywell will pay the annual premium for an Excess Liability Insurance policy that provides $5,000,000 of coverage per occurrence.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATION

 

You shall also be entitled to the following special long term incentive grants. However, because all equity grants made in the first quarter of 2012 are subject to the review and approval of the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“MDCC”) at a meeting currently scheduled for February 29, 2012, these terms and conditions shall not be deemed final until the MDCC approves them on such date. Moreover, if you have not accepted this offer by February 28, 2012, neither the stock option nor the restricted unit grants detailed below shall be made unless, or until, the MDCC approves such grants at its next regularly scheduled meeting, in which case that approval date, rather than February 29, 2012, shall be the grant date for all purposes.

 

1. Restricted Units . You shall receive a grant of one hundred thousand (100,000) restricted units (“Special Grant RUs”). These Special Grant RUs shall be in lieu of your annual 2012 restricted unit grant and shall vest in one third increments on the third, fifth and seventh anniversaries of their grant date.
2. Stock Options . You shall receive a grant of one hundred thousand (100,000) stock options (“Special Option Grant”). This Special Option Grant shall be in lieu of your annual 2012 stock option grant. Options granted under the Special Option Grant shall vest ratably (25% per year) on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of their grant date.
3. Growth Plan Units . You shall receive seven thousand (7,000) growth plan units (“GPUs”) for the 2012-2013 performance cycle. This GPU grant will be in lieu of any other grant for the 2012-2013 performance cycle.

 

In the event you are terminated involuntarily other than for Cause (as that term is defined in the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan), you shall be entitled to vest, immediately as of your last day of employment, in the next tranche of restricted units and stock options granted under the Special Grant RUs and Special Option Grant, respectively.

 

RELOCATION

 

As part of your offer, you are eligible for the relocation program that applies to the circumstances of your particular situation (i.e., either an expatriate assignment or a domestic relocation). The details of the applicable program, including provisions related to tax gross-ups, tax equalization, clawbacks for voluntary termination, etc., will be forthcoming when the location of your position has been agreed upon.

 

In addition, however, an exception to policy has been granted should you experience a loss on sale of your primary residence based on current market conditions. This loss on sale will be allocated 100% to Honeywell (rather than the $20,000.00 standard policy amount). Should you elect to leave Honeywell prior to the first/second anniversary of the Effective Date, you will be required to reimburse Honeywell 100%/70% of the actual amount reimbursed hereunder, including any tax gross-ups.

 

PENSION PROVISION

 

As of the Effective Date, you will become eligible to participate in the Honeywell Retirement Earnings Plan (“REP”), which provides a benefit, expressed as an immediate lump sum, equal to 6% of final average pay times years of service. You can consult the REP’s Summary Plan Description for further details.

In addition, you shall be eligible for a supplemental benefit (“SERP”) in an amount equal to the benefit to which you would have been entitled (A)(i) had you commenced participation in the REP as of July 2, 2008, and (ii) if the IRS limitations on benefits and compensation did not apply, offset by (B) your actual earned REP benefit.

As a condition of the employment offer described herein, you are required to execute the enclosed copies of (i) Honeywell’s “Employee Agreement Relating to Trade Secrets, Proprietary and Confidential Information” (the “IP Agreement”), and (ii) Honeywell’s Noncompete Agreement for Senior Executives, along with the Addendum thereto (“Noncompete Agreement”).
