Filed November 16, 2011For Securities:JCI

Summary

Johnson Controls International plc (JCI), formerly known as Tyco International Ltd., reported net revenue of $17.4 billion for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011. The company operates across three primary segments: Tyco Security Solutions, Tyco Fire Protection, and Tyco Flow Control. A significant development during the year was the announcement of a plan to separate Tyco into three distinct publicly traded companies, focusing on North American residential security, flow control, and commercial fire and security. This strategic move aims to unlock shareholder value by creating more focused entities. Financially, the company demonstrated resilience, with increased revenue and operating income compared to the prior year. The Tyco Security Solutions segment was a key driver of growth, benefiting from acquisitions like Broadview Security and organic expansion. The company also managed its debt effectively and returned capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases. However, the company faces ongoing risks including intense competition, global economic uncertainties, foreign currency fluctuations, and significant legal and regulatory challenges, including ongoing investigations related to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Frequently Asked Questions

In 2011, Tyco International operated through three main segments: Tyco Security Solutions (design, sale, installation, service, and monitoring of electronic security systems), Tyco Fire Protection (design, manufacture, sale, installation, and service of fire detection and suppression systems), and Tyco Flow Control (design, manufacture, sale, and service of valves, pipes, fittings, and related products).

In September 2011, Tyco announced a plan to separate the company into three independent, publicly traded entities: one focused on North American residential security, another on flow control, and the third on commercial fire and security. This separation was expected to be completed by the end of the third calendar quarter of 2012.

The company reported net revenue of $17.4 billion and operating income of $2.1 billion, an increase from the previous year. This growth was supported by acquisitions, particularly in the Security Solutions segment, and a strong performance in recurring revenue streams. The company also returned significant capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Key risks include intense competition across all segments, adverse impacts from general economic and cyclical industry conditions, volatility in currency exchange rates and commodity prices, failure to maintain information technology security, and significant ongoing legal and regulatory matters, including investigations related to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA).
