MORRIS PLAINS, N.J., Jan. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full-year of 2016, and reaffirmed 2017 earnings guidance.

"We finished 2016 with a strong fourth quarter, achieving 14% earnings growth (excluding divestitures and charges for pension mark-to-market and debt refinancing), 90 basis points of segment margin expansion excluding M&A, and free cash flow conversion of 126%," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "For the full year, we delivered earnings growth of 8% (excluding charges for pension mark-to-market and debt refinancing) and drove strong operational segment margin expansion while making significant investments for the future, including over $250 million in incremental Aerospace OEM incentives (the equivalent of four percentage points of EPS). We funded high-return capital projects through more than $1 billion in capital expenditures, marking the third consecutive year of reinvesting at over 150% of depreciation, and we continued to upgrade our growth profile through acquisitions totaling more than $2.5 billion and divestitures with aggregate annual revenues in excess of $1 billion. To better drive top-line growth and improve our overall decision-making speed, we realigned our business segments and funded more than $250 million in internal restructuring projects. In addition, our debt refinancing will reduce our expected 2017 interest expense by about 8% despite increasing total borrowings by $4 billion, and we returned nearly $4.5 billion to our shareowners through dividends and share repurchases."

Cote concluded, "We delivered outstanding returns again in 2016 with a total shareowner return of 15%, which exceeded the S&P's total shareowner return by 300 basis points. More importantly, we set the stage for a successful 2017. I am confident in our ability to continue to outperform under Darius Adamczyk. It has been an honor to lead Honeywell for the past 15 years, and I know that our best days are ahead of us."

    Throughout this press release, core organic
     sales growth refers to reported sales growth
     less the impacts from foreign currency
     translation, M&A and raw materials pass-
     through pricing in the former Resins &
     Chemicals business previously part of
     Performance Materials and Technologies. The
     raw materials pricing impact is excluded in
     instances where raw materials costs are
     passed through to customers, which drives
     fluctuations in selling prices not tied to
     volume growth. A reconciliation of core
     organic sales growth to reported sales growth
     is provided in the attached financial tables.

Darius Adamczyk, President and Chief Operating Officer said, "Our business will benefit in the future from the investments we made in 2016. All of these actions, combined with our focus on enhancing organic growth, and the power of our connected businesses, make us optimistic about 2017 and beyond. We are reaffirming our 2017 earnings guidance today. As I discussed on our December outlook call, Honeywell will continue our focus on driving organic growth and margin expansion through new software opportunities, breakthrough initiatives, and an improved customer experience. We look forward to discussing this more at our annual investor conference on March 1 in New York City."

Honeywell will discuss the results during its investor conference call today starting at 9:30 a.m. EST.

Fourth Quarter Performance

Honeywell sales for the fourth quarter were flat on a reported basis and down 1% on a core organic basis. The difference between reported and core organic sales is due to the impact of acquisitions, primarily Elster and Intelligrated, partially offset by the spin-off of Resins and Chemicals in Performance Materials and Technologies and the divestiture of the Aerospace government services business. The fourth-quarter and full-year 2016 financial results can be found in Tables 1 and 2 below.

Aerospace sales for the fourth quarter were down 5% on a core organic basis. The decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes in Business and General Aviation, higher OEM incentives, program completions in U.S. Space and International Defense, and continued weakness in the commercial helicopter business, as expected. This was partially offset by global gas turbo penetration in passenger vehicles in Transportation Systems. Segment margin declined 130 bps to 20.2%, due to higher OEM incentives, product mix, and lower volumes, partially offset by productivity net of inflation and commercial excellence. Excluding the impact of acquisitions and higher OEM incentives, segment margin contracted by 10 basis points.

Home and Building Technologies sales for the fourth quarter were up 2% on a core organic basis driven by continued strength in our Building Solutions and Distribution businesses, double-digit growth in China and India, and new product introductions in Environmental and Energy Solutions. Segment margin declined 30 bps to 16.8%, primarily driven by acquisition amortization and integration costs. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, segment margin expanded 60 basis points driven by benefits from previously-funded restructuring and commercial excellence, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of higher Distribution sales and growth investments.

Performance Materials and Technologies sales for the fourth quarter were up 5% on a core organic basis driven by strong catalyst, licensing, and equipment growth in UOP and a continued ramp in Solstice(®) sales in Advanced Materials. Segment margin expanded 520 bps to 25.4%, driven by productivity net of inflation, the favorable impact from the spin-off of AdvanSix, higher catalyst volumes, and commercial excellence. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, segment margin expanded by 560 bps.

Safety and Productivity Solutions sales for the fourth quarter were down 6% on a core organic basis as a result of lower volumes in the Productivity and Safety businesses and supply chain delays. Segment margin contracted 100 bps to 14.3%, primarily driven by acquisition amortization and integration costs. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, segment margin expanded by 100 bps driven by restructuring benefits and commercial excellence, partially offset by lower volumes across the portfolio.

    Below is a reconciliation of earnings per share to earnings per share, excluding pension mark-to-market expense, debt refinancing expense and earnings attributable to 2016 divestitures.  We
     believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. Earnings per share utilizes weighted average number
     of shares outstanding, assuming dilution, for the period.

    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, 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.

    Throughout this press release, core
     organic sales growth refers to
     reported sales growth less the
     impacts from foreign currency
     translation, M&A and raw materials
     pass-through pricing in the
     former Resins & Chemicals business
     previously part of Performance
     Materials and Technologies. The
     raw materials pricing impact is
     excluded in instances where raw
     materials costs are passed through
     to customers, which drives
     fluctuations in selling prices not
     tied to volume growth.


    We believe core organic sales
     growth is a measure that is useful
     to investors and management in
     understanding our ongoing
     operations and in analysis of
     ongoing operating trends.
