Filed January 31, 2012For Securities:JCI

Summary

Tyco International Ltd. reported net revenue of $4.2 billion for the quarter ended December 30, 2011, a decrease of 3.9% compared to the prior year's quarter. This decline was primarily driven by the divestiture of a majority interest in its Electrical and Metal Products business. Despite the revenue decrease, the company saw positive trends in its service revenue, which constituted 45% of total revenue, and experienced growth in product sales within the Tyco Flow Control segment, attributed to strong end-market performance. Operating income saw a significant decrease to $472 million from $706 million in the prior year. This was largely due to a $246 million gain on divestitures in the prior year's quarter, compared to no such gain in the current quarter. The company incurred $32 million in separation costs related to its planned 2012 separation into three independent companies. Tyco's cash position decreased to $1.0 billion, with cash generated from operations at $338 million, while investing activities used $441 million and financing activities used $271 million, including $200 million for share repurchases.
