Summary
Carrier Global Corp reported a net sales of $4.65 billion for the first quarter of 2022, a slight decrease of 1% compared to the prior year, primarily impacted by divestitures and foreign currency translation, partially offset by a strong 10% organic growth driven by pricing improvements and higher volumes, particularly in the HVAC segment. The company saw a significant increase in operating profit to $1.74 billion, up from $571 million in the prior year, largely due to the substantial gain from the sale of the Chubb Fire & Security business. Despite this, gross margins decreased by 7% to $1.29 billion, impacted by the divestiture of Chubb, increased commodity and component costs, and higher freight expenses. The company continues to navigate supply chain challenges and inflationary pressures, implementing pricing actions and investing in supply chain resilience.
