Frequently Asked Questions

For the third quarter of 2022, net sales were $8.95 billion, an increase from $8.47 billion in the same period of 2021. For the first nine months of 2022, net sales were $26.28 billion, up from $25.74 billion in the comparable 2021 period. This growth was primarily driven by favorable pricing actions that offset volume decreases and foreign currency translation impacts.

Profitability was impacted by several factors. While favorable pricing and strong segment profit in key areas like Aerospace and Honeywell Building Technologies supported earnings, higher repositioning and other charges, including those related to workforce reductions and exiting Russian operations, along with increased material and labor costs, put pressure on margins. Diluted EPS for the nine months decreased slightly year-over-year due to these factors.

Honeywell is actively implementing strategies to mitigate these challenges. These include pricing actions to offset rising costs, enhanced supply chain tracking, direct engagement with suppliers, and product modifications or development to meet evolving demand. The company notes that these conditions are expected to persist and could materially affect results if mitigation efforts are not sustained.

Honeywell maintains a strong liquidity position, with $7.45 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2022. The company has access to committed credit lines and public debt markets, which provide additional flexibility. Operating cash flows are expected to be sufficient to meet future needs, including capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, and debt repayments. The company continues to manage its capital actively, including significant share repurchases.
