- Honeywell Aerospace Spin-Off Now Expected in Third Quarter 2026; Leadership Team Announced
CHARLOTTE, N.C., January 29, 2026 -- Honeywell (NASDAQ: HON) today announced results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 and issued its outlook for 2026. The company also provided an update on anticipated timing for the spin-off of Honeywell Aerospace into an independent publicly traded company, now expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026, ahead of the company's prior expectations.
Fourth-quarter sales growth was driven primarily by strong demand in the Aerospace and Building Automation segments. Orders grew 23% organically, led by double-digit growth in Aerospace Technologies and Energy and Sustainability Solutions (ESS), which drove a 4% sequential increase in backlog to over $37 billion.
Operating income decreased 35% and operating margin contracted 640 basis points to 10.2% primarily due to a one-time impairment charge related to the classification of the Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) businesses as assets held for sale, and a one-time charge within the Aerospace Technologies segment related to the previously disclosed Flexjet-related litigation matters in the fourth quarter of 2025. Excluding these charges and other items, adjusted segment profit increased 23%, or 2% excluding the impact of the Bombardier agreement ("BBD") signed in the fourth quarter of 2024, to $2.3 billion led by growth in Aerospace Technologies and Building Automation, driving adjusted segment margin expansion of 240 basis points (or margin contraction of 70 basis points ex. BBD) to 22.8%.
EPS for the fourth quarter of $0.49 was down 72% primarily driven by the aforementioned one-time charges. Excluding these charges and other items, adjusted EPS of $2.59 was up 17%, or down 3% ex. BBD, driven by higher adjusted segment profit and a lower share count, partially offset by a higher effective tax rate. Finally, operating cash flow was $1.2 billion, down 38%, and free cash flow was $2.5 billion, up 48%, or up 13% ex. BBD.

For the full year, reported sales increased 8% and adjusted sales increased 9%, with organic sales up 7% (or 6% organically ex. BBD), exceeding the high end of original full year guidance by 2 points. Operating income decreased 6% and operating margin contracted 250 basis points, while adjusted segment profit grew 11% (or 6% ex. BBD) with adjusted segment margin expansion of 40 basis points (or contraction of 40 basis points ex. BBD) to 22.5%. Full-year EPS was $7.57, flat year over year, and full-year adjusted EPS was $9.78, up 12% year over year (or 7% ex. BBD). Operating cash flow was $6.1 billion, up 19%, and free cash flow was $5.1 billion, up 20% (or up 7% ex. BBD).
Management Commentary
"We concluded 2025 with strong results that exceeded the high end of our guidance for adjusted sales and adjusted EPS. Orders grew 23% stemming from robust demand in the Aerospace Technologies and Energy and Sustainability Solutions segments, including from our LNG acquisition that closed last year. As a result, we exited 2025 with a record backlog of over $37 billion which positions us well for 2026," said Vimal Kapur, chairman and CEO of Honeywell.
Kapur added, "During the quarter, we also made considerable progress on our portfolio optimization, with the spin off of Solstice Advanced Materials complete. Building on this momentum, we now expect the separation of our automation and aerospace businesses to be completed in the third quarter of 2026. In preparation, this quarter we established our go-forward segment structure for Honeywell, built on complementary business models that will drive cross-portfolio synergies and accelerate profitable growth over the long term, and announced the leadership team for Honeywell Aerospace. These actions all marked critical steps in our simplification journey. With strong management teams and clear strategies in place for both automation and aerospace, we are confident in our ability to deliver on our 2026 commitments,” concluded Kapur.

Aerospace Technologies sales for the fourth quarter grew 21% organically year over year, or 11% excluding the impact of the prior year’s Bombardier agreement, led by ongoing strength in commercial aftermarket and defense and space. Commercial aftermarket sales increased 13% organically with double-digit growth in both business jet and air transport end markets. Defense and space sales rose 10% driven by sustained elevated global demand. Commercial original equipment growth accelerated from the prior quarter, supported by higher output from an improving supply chain. Orders and backlog both increased at a strong double-digit rate compared to the previous year. Adjusted segment margin expanded 620 basis points to 26.5% as a result of the impact of the prior year’s Bombardier agreement. Excluding this prior year impact, adjusted segment margin declined 60 basis points as commercial excellence and volume leverage were more than offset by cost inflation.
Industrial Automation sales for the fourth quarter grew 1% year over year on an organic basis and 4% sequentially. Growth was driven by WWS, up 5% on steady conversion of our robust pipeline, continued strength in sensing, up 3% on strong tailwinds in industrial and aerospace and defense end markets, and a return to growth of 1% in PSS, which also delivered double-digit orders growth. Process solutions sales were flat on an organic basis, as strength in aftermarket services was offset by declines in measurement and controls products. Segment margin contracted 120 basis points year over year to 18.4% driven by cost inflation, partially offset by commercial excellence and benefit from the personal protective equipment (PPE) sale. Beginning in 2026, the core Process Solutions business will be reported as part of Process Automation and Technology (PA&T).
Building Automation sales for the fourth quarter increased 8% organically year over year. Building solutions grew 9%, led by double-digit growth in services and building products grew 8%, highlighted by continued strength in North America and the Middle East. Orders increased both year over year and sequentially, driven by demand across both building solutions and building products. Segment margin expanded 20 basis points from the prior year to 27.0%, supported by commercial excellence and volume leverage partially offset by inflation.
Honeywell Q4’25 Results - 4
Energy and Sustainability Solutions sales for the fourth quarter decreased 7% organically year over year, driven by demand softness in petrochemical catalysts. Orders growth continued in UOP, led by strong demand in LNG and robust double-digit growth in refining and petrochemicals projects. Segment margin contracted 300 basis points to 23.7% driven by unfavorable mix from lower catalyst volumes and cost inflation. The advanced materials (AM) business is excluded from the ESS reportable business segment in the fourth quarter and full-year 2025 results following the spin-off of Solstice Advanced Materials and subsequent classification of AM as discontinued operations. Beginning in 2026, the businesses in ESS will be reported as part of Process Automation and Technology (PA&T).

See additional information at the end of this release regarding non-GAAP financial measures.
Segment margin and adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment margin or adjusted EPS. We therefore, do not present a guidance range, or a reconciliation to, the nearest GAAP financial measures of operating margin or EPS.
Adjusted EPS and adjusted EPS V% guidance excludes items identified in the non-GAAP reconciliation of adjusted EPS at the end of this release, and any potential future one-time items that we cannot reliably predict or estimate such as pension mark-to-market.
4Q24 financial results include impact of the BBD announced on December 2, 2024, resulting in a reduction to Sales of $0.4B, Net Income of $0.3B, and Cash Flow of $0.5B.
With respect to historical periods, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures, spin-off and separation-related cost payments, Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment, cash payment for settlement of the divestiture of asbestos liabilities, and cash payment for settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters. With respect to the company’s outlook for 2026, free cash flow adjusts for capital expenditures, spin-off and separation-related cost payments, and cash payment for settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters.
Segment margin expansion as compared to Adjusted segment margin in 2025.
Portfolio Transformation
In the fourth quarter, Honeywell took steps to further optimize its portfolio and operations ahead of the planned separation of its automation and aerospace businesses now expected in the third quarter of 2026. On October 30, 2025, the company completed the spin-off of Solstice Advanced Materials, now trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker ‘SOLS’ and, as a result, began reporting its AM business unit as discontinued operations. In November, the company announced the appointment of Jim Currier as President and CEO of Honeywell Aerospace and Craig Arnold as Chairman of the Honeywell Aerospace Board of Directors upon separation. In January 2026, the company announced Josh Jepsen as CFO of Honeywell Aerospace and made numerous other leadership appointments. In addition, following the strategic alternatives review completed in the fourth quarter, PSS and WWS businesses have been classified as held for sale. The intended sale allows Honeywell to focus on its core areas of automation expertise which are exposed to long-term secular growth drivers that further position the company as a global automation leader.
Settlement of Flexjet-Related Litigation Matters
On January 21, 2026, Honeywell and Flexjet announced that they have reached a comprehensive agreement to resolve their pending litigation and look forward to rebuilding the parties' commercial partnership. The agreement will resolve in full all pending claims among and between the parties, as well as related litigation involving StandardAero and Duncan Aviation. Simultaneously, and as a partial consideration for the resolution of the
Honeywell Q4’25 Results - 7 litigation, Honeywell and Flexjet have agreed to extend their aircraft engine maintenance through 2035. Honeywell and Flexjet look forward to working collaboratively going forward.

Appendix
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain measures presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Honeywell’s business.
As indicated herein, certain forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures are not reconciled because management cannot reliably predict or estimate certain items for the reasons specified herein with respect to each non-GAAP financial measure.

Includes Flexjet-related litigation matters of $312 million, which are considered to be unusual and not indicative of the Company's ongoing performance.
Honeywell Q4’25 Results - 16
We define organic sales percentage as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, 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 measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic sales percent change has not been provided for forward-looking measures of organic sales percent change because management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the fluctuations in global currency markets that impact foreign currency translation, nor is it reasonable for management to predict the timing, occurrence and impact of acquisition and divestiture transactions, all of which could significantly impact our reported sales percent change.

We define adjusted net sales as net sales less the sales impact of the Flexjet-related litigation matters. Management considers the nature and significance of these litigation matters to be unusual and not indicative of the Company's ongoing performance. We believe this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, reflects a $373 million impact to segment profit as a result of the settlement of the Flexjet-related litigation matters.
We define operating income as net sales less total cost of products and services sold, research and development expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses, impairment of goodwill, and impairment of assets held for sale. We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, certain acquisition- and divestiture-related costs and impairments, and repositioning and other charges. We define adjusted segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit excluding the segment profit impact of the Flexjet-related litigation matters. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit divided by net sales. We define adjusted segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as adjusted segment profit divided by adjusted net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.
A quantitative reconciliation of operating income to segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit and segment profit margin included herein. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment profit, particularly pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. The information that is unavailable to provide a quantitative reconciliation could have a significant impact on our reported financial results. To the extent quantitative information becomes available without unreasonable effort in the future, and closer to the period to which the forward-looking measures pertain, a reconciliation of operating income to segment profit will be included within future filings.
Honeywell Q4’25 Results - 19
Acquisition amortization and acquisition- and divestiture-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions or divestitures we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions or divestitures may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

For the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2025, reflects a $312 million impact to sales due to contra revenue accounting and a $373 million impact to segment profit as a result of the settlement of the Flexjet-related litigation matters.
We define adjusted segment profit as segment profit excluding the segment profit impact associated with the Flexjet-related litigation matters. We define adjusted net sales as sales from continuing operations less the sales impact of the Flexjet-related litigation matters. We define adjusted segment profit margin as adjusted segment profit divided by adjusted net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We believe adjusted earnings per share is a measure that is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. For forward-looking information, management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. The divestiture-related costs are subject to detailed development and execution of separation restructuring plans for the announced separation of Automation and Aerospace Technologies. We therefore do not include an estimate for the pension mark-to-market expense. Based on economic and industry conditions, future developments, and other relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change.
Acquisition amortization and acquisition- and divestiture-related costs are significantly impacted by the timing, size, and number of acquisitions or divestitures we complete and are not on a predictable cycle and we make no comment as to when or whether any future acquisitions or divestitures may occur. We believe excluding these costs provides investors with a more meaningful comparison of operating performance over time and with both acquisitive and other peer companies.

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less cash for capital expenditures and excluding spin-off and separation-related cost payments, the Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment, cash payment for settlement of divestiture of asbestos liabilities, and the cash payment for settlement of Flexjet-related litigation matters.
We believe that free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure that is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by 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 measure can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
