    ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
    (Dollars in tables and graphs in millions, except per share amounts)
    The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell, we, us, our, or the Company) for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The financial information as of March 31, 2026 should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
    BUSINESS UPDATE
    MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS
    We continue to monitor macroeconomic and geopolitical developments that remain elevated, including armed conflict in the Middle East and its effects on global energy markets and maritime shipping, ongoing trade policy uncertainty following judicial and regulatory developments affecting U.S. tariff authorities, and evolving inflationary pressures. Global growth projections moderated, and tariffs imposed during 2025 and 2026, together with new trade investigations and ongoing negotiations, contributed to heightened volatility. Elevated energy prices, tariff pass-through effects, and financial market uncertainty continue to contribute to supply chain and cost pressures. We continue to engage with suppliers to proactively manage potential disruptions, critical material constraints, and pricing volatility.
    Mitigation strategies are an important component of our approach to managing these risks, including supply chain simplification, alignment to local and regional supply sources, pricing actions, dual-source strategies, and longer-term approaches for constrained materials. These efforts include direct engagement with key suppliers, new supplier development, and, where appropriate, design modifications. We maintain relationships with primary and secondary suppliers that support sourcing continuity and operational flexibility. Due to stringent quality controls and product qualification processes, these strategies have not impacted, and are not expected to impact, product quality or reliability.
    To date, our strategies have helped manage our exposure to these supply chain and cost-related conditions. However, the convergence of geopolitical conflict, evolving trade policies, and persistent inflationary pressures may have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
    PORTFOLIO TRANSFORMATION
    We continually assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit, and cash flow contribution in order to identify target investment and acquisition opportunities in order to upgrade our combined portfolio. We also identify businesses that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability, or growth potential.
    On February 6, 2025, we announced our intention to pursue a separation of Honeywell from Honeywell Aerospace, into independent, U.S. publicly traded companies, which is intended to be completed in the third quarter on June 29, 2026. The planned separation is intended to be a tax-free separation to Honeywell shareowners for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The separation will be subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary conditions, including, among others, the filing and effectiveness of applicable filings (including a Form 10 registration statement that includes required financial statements) with the SEC, assurance that the separation of the businesses will be tax-free to Honeywell’s shareowners, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and final approval by Honeywell’s Board of Directors. The proposed separation is complex in nature, and may be affected by unanticipated developments, credit and equity markets, or changes in market conditions.
    In 2025, we announced we are evaluating strategic alternatives for our Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions businesses within the Industrial Automation reportable segment to further simplify Honeywell's portfolio and accelerate shareowner value creation ahead of the planned separation of Honeywell from Honeywell Aerospace. Beginning December 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of these businesses were classified as held for sale. In April 2026, the Company announced it has reached agreements to sell the businesses in two separate transactions, both of which are expected to close in the second half of 2026 and are subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
    33    Honeywell International Inc.
    On May 22, 2025, the Company announced its agreement to acquire Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies business segment in an all-cash transaction. In February 2026, the agreement was amended to adjust the total consideration to £1.325 billion. Completion of the transaction is anticipated in the third quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
    SEGMENT REALIGNMENT
    Effective in the first quarter of 2026, we realigned certain of our business units comprising our Industrial Automation and Energy and Sustainability Solutions reportable business segments. This realignment formed a new reportable business segment, Process Automation and Technology, and resulted in a new composition of our Industrial Automation reportable business segment. Process Automation and Technology is comprised of UOP, which was previously in Energy and Sustainability Solutions, and the core portion of the Process Solutions business, which was previously in Industrial Automation. The new composition of Industrial Automation continues to include the smart energy, thermal solutions, and process measurement and control businesses, previously included in the Process Solutions business, as well as the Sensing and Safety Technologies, Warehouse and Workflow Solutions, and Productivity Solutions and Services businesses. Following the realignment, our reportable business segments are Aerospace Technologies, Building Automation, Process Automation and Technology, and Industrial Automation. In addition to the realignment, also beginning in 2026, we report the disaggregation of revenue within our Building Automation, Process Automation and Technology, and Industrial Automation segments based on business models. The realignment had no impact on our historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Prior period amounts have been recast to reflect this change.

    Organic sales % change, presented for all of our reportable business segments, is defined as the change in Net sales, adjusted for the impact of divestitures to the prior period, and excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation, acquisitions for the first 12 months following the transaction date, and certain other items that are unusual or non-recurring in nature. We believe this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors and management in understanding the ongoing operations and analysis of ongoing operating trends.
    Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025
    Sales increased $150 million due to higher organic sales of $58 million in Defense and Space and higher organic sales of $54 million in Commercial Aviation Aftermarket, both driven by increased pricing.
    Segment profit increased $45 million and segment margin percentage increased 20 basis points to 26.5% compared to 26.3% for the same period of 2025.

    Segment profit increased $11 million and segment margin percentage increased 260 basis points to 17.0% compared to 14.4% for the same period in 2025.
    On July 8, 2025, the Company announced it is evaluating strategic alternatives for its Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions businesses. Following the Company's strategic review, the assets and liabilities of these businesses were classified as held for sale beginning December 31, 2025. In April 2026, the Company announced it has reached agreements to sell the businesses in two transactions, both of which are expected to close in the second half of 2026 and are subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of certain regulatory approvals.
    CORPORATE AND ALL OTHER
    Corporate and All Other primarily includes unallocated corporate costs, interest expense on holding-company debt, and the controlling majority-owned interest in Quantinuum. Corporate expenses historically allocated to Advanced Materials and not eligible to be part of discontinued operations are now included in Corporate and All Other. Corporate and All Other is not a separate reportable business segment as segment reporting criteria is not met. The Company continues to monitor the activities in Corporate and All Other to determine the need for further reportable business segment disaggregation.
    REPOSITIONING CHARGES
    See Note 5 Repositioning and Other Charges of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our repositioning actions and related charges incurred in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $37 million in the three months ended March 31, 2026, and was funded through operating cash flows.
    47    Honeywell International Inc.
    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
    (Dollars in tables in millions)
    We leverage operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. Each of our businesses focuses on increasing operating cash flows through revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved working capital turnover. We also maintain other key sources of liquidity, including U.S. cash balances, and the ability to access non-U.S. cash balances, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets.
    CASH
    As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held $12.4 billion and $12.9 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including our short-term investments. We monitor third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis. Our emphasis is primarily safety of principal and secondarily maximizing yield of those funds. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one counterparty.
    As of March 31, 2026, we held $6.7 billion of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We do not have material amounts related to any jurisdiction subject to currency control restrictions that impact our ability to access and repatriate such amounts. Under current laws, we do not expect taxes on repatriation or restrictions on amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity.
    CASH FLOW SUMMARY
    Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, are summarized as follows:
