Summary

Johnson Controls International plc (JCI), reporting as Tyco International Ltd. in this 2013 10-K, is a global provider of security, fire detection, suppression, and life safety products and services. The company operates through three main segments: North America Installation & Services, Rest of World Installation & Services, and Global Products, which collectively generated $10.65 billion in net revenue for fiscal year 2013. A significant portion of the company's revenue is derived from services, with over half of Installation & Services revenue coming from aftermarket products and services. In the fiscal year ended September 27, 2013, Tyco reported revenue of $10.65 billion, an increase of 2.3% from the prior year, driven by growth in its Global Products and ROW Installation & Services segments, partially offset by a decline in its North America Installation & Services segment. The company continues to emphasize research and development, with R&D expenses at $174 million in 2013, focusing on areas like integrated access control and IP video platforms. However, the company also faces significant risks, including general economic conditions, competition, and ongoing legal and environmental matters, such as asbestos liabilities and environmental remediation at its Wisconsin facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Revenue growth in fiscal year 2013 was primarily driven by the Global Products segment and, to a lesser extent, the Rest of World (ROW) Installation & Services segment. This growth was partly offset by a decline in the North America Installation & Services segment, particularly within its security business.

Tyco faces several significant risks, including the impact of general economic conditions and cyclical industry trends, intense competition leading to margin pressure, currency exchange rate volatility, and substantial environmental remediation liabilities. Notably, the company has ongoing remediation efforts at its Marinette, Wisconsin facility, and faces asbestos-related litigation and liabilities.

The company underwent significant restructuring with the spin-offs of its North American residential security business (ADT) and its flow control business (Tyco Flow Control) in September 2012. These 'separations' have resulted in a re-aligned business structure, with the remaining operations focusing on commercial security, fire, and life safety products and services globally.

The company is actively investing in research and development, with $174 million spent in fiscal year 2013. Key areas of focus include developing residential interactive platforms, enterprise-wide integrated access control platforms, and transitioning to IP video platforms.
