Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed February 5, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Carrier Global Corporation (CARR) reported net sales of $21.7 billiona for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 3% decrease from the prior year.
This decline was primarily attributed to lower volumes across its Climate Solutions segments, particularly in the Americas and Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa regions, impacted by reduced end-market demand and distributor destocking. The company continued its portfolio transformation in 2024 by acquiring the Viessmann Climate Solutions business and divesting several non-core operations. Operationally, the company faced headwinds from lower volumes, though this was partially offset by productivity initiatives and favorable pricing actions.
Adjusted operating profit was $3.3 billionb, a slight decrease from $3.5 billion in the prior year, reflecting the impact of lower volumes and ongoing strategic investments. Carrier's strategic focus remains on intelligent climate and energy solutions, emphasizing digital transformation and sustainability. The company is investing in innovation and new business models, such as Carrier Energy, to optimize home energy management and enhance digital customer connections.
Despite macroeconomic challenges and specific segment weakness, Carrier is positioning itself for long-term growth by leveraging its strong brand portfolio and addressing secular trends like urbanization and digitalization. The company also announced the pending sale of its Riello business, further streamlining its operations.
