Summary
Johnson Controls International plc (JCI) reported a significant increase in net revenue for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, driven by strong performance across its segments, particularly Flow Control and ADT Worldwide. The company also saw a substantial improvement in operating income, largely due to the absence of a significant class action settlement charge that impacted the prior year's results.
