Stripping out the divested aerospace operations, the industrial conglomerate generated $5.19 billion in continuing sales, up 3% on a reported basis and 4% organically, with Building Automation emerging as the clear standout, growing 9% organically to $2.00 billion on double-digit fire business gains and a 13% surge in data center and hospitality orders. The quarter also captured a $6.63 billion one-time gain from the deconsolidation of Quantinuum, inflating GAAP EPS to $17.83, while free cash flow from continuing operations climbed 43% year over year to $1.25 billion. With the Johnson Matthey Catalyst Technologies acquisition now closed and two divestitures expected to wrap in early August, management raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $8.05 to $8.35, representing growth of 25% to 29%, with organic sales growth of 3% to 4%.
Key Takeaways
- • Building Automation organic sales growth of 9% driven by double-digit fire business growth and building solutions services
- • Robust orders growth of 13% in Building Automation led by data center and hospitality verticals
- • Process Automation orders up 24% driven by LNG demand
- • Industrial Automation 10% solutions growth driven by utilities projects and warehouse backlog conversion
- • 100 basis points of segment margin expansion for Honeywell Technologies
- • Aerospace Technologies sales grew 5% organically led by 17% increase in Commercial aviation OE
