"Honeywell had another terrific quarter and a very good first half of 2014," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "Strong execution across our businesses and continued momentum across the portfolio helped us to deliver stronger than expected earnings. We saw 6% sales growth and margin expansion in every business as our key growth and productivity initiatives continue to make a difference. Our short-cycle businesses, particularly Energy, Safety and Security, and Turbo Technologies, are benefiting from improving end markets, new product introductions, and geographic expansion, while our long-cycle businesses are growing robust backlogs supported by favorable macro trends and strong win rates. Our recently announced closing of the sale of Friction Materials was a significant step in our effort to align the Honeywell portfolio around Great Positions in Good Industries. We believe that our portfolio is well positioned for continued growth. As a result of our first half performance, we are raising the low end of our 2014 proforma EPS guidance by $0.05 with the expectation of improved organic growth and continued margin expansion in the second half of the year."

The company is updating its full-year 2014 guidance and now expects:

Reflects Absence Of (~$300M) Friction Materials Sales in 2H 2014

On July 14, Honeywell announced that it will realign its Transportation Systems business segment with its Aerospace business segment to better take advantage of the engineering and technology similarities and the shared business models between these two business segments. Under the realigned segment reporting structure, the Company will have three business segments: Aerospace, Automation and Control Solutions, and Performance Materials and Technologies. This realignment has no impact on the Company's historical consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Effective with the reporting of third quarter 2014 results, the Company will report its financial performance based on the inclusion of Transportation Systems in Aerospace. To provide historical information on a basis consistent with its new reporting structure, the Company will make available during the third quarter of 2014 certain historical segment results recast to conform to the new reporting structure. The recasted financial information will not represent a restatement of previously issued financial statements.

  • Sales were approximately flat compared with the second quarter of 2013 driven by 1% Commercial sales growth, offset by a (1%) decline in Defense & Space. Commercial OE sales were approximately flat in the quarter reflecting continued growth in OE build rates, offset by higher BGA OEM payments and engine shipment timing. Commercial Aftermarket growth of 1% was driven by an increase in spares sales, partially offset by fewer maintenance events. Defense & Space sales declined (1%) as a result of lower sales to the U.S. government, partially offset by strong international growth.
  • Segment profit was up 2%, and segment margins expanded 30 bps to 19.8%, driven by commercial excellence and productivity net of inflation, partially offset by BGA OEM payments, higher OE mix, and continued investments for growth.

ACS benefitted from strength in U.S. residential end markets and new product introductions, as well as continued growth in fire, gas, and the Americas Distribution business.
  • Segment profit was up 14% and segment margins expanded 50 bps to 14.8% driven by commercial excellence, productivity net of inflation, and higher volume, partially offset by the dilutive impact of acquisitions and continued investments for growth.

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, and to pay dividends, repurchase stock, or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
