Summary
Carrier Global Corporation (CARR) reported its third-quarter and year-to-date results for the period ending September 30, 2023. Total net sales increased by 5% for the quarter and 11% for the nine-month period compared to the prior year, driven by organic growth and strategic acquisitions, particularly the consolidation of Toshiba Carrier Corporation (TCC). The company's significant strategic move involves the pending acquisition of Viessmann's climate solutions business for approximately €12 billion, expected to close by year-end 2023. Concurrently, Carrier plans to exit its Fire & Security and Commercial Refrigeration businesses in 2024, signaling a significant portfolio transformation. While revenue shows growth, net income attributable to common shareholders saw a substantial decrease of 73% for the quarter and 72% for the nine-month period, largely impacted by non-recurring items, including a significant loss on the mark-to-market valuation of forward contracts related to the Viessmann acquisition and the deconsolidation of Kidde-Fenwal, Inc. (KFI) due to its Chapter 11 filing.
