Filed February 4, 2026For Securities:JCI

Summary

Johnson Controls International plc (JCI) reported strong performance for the three months ended December 31, 2025. Net sales increased by 7% year-over-year to $5.8 billion, driven by organic growth across all segments, particularly in the Americas. Gross profit also saw an 8% increase, indicating effective pricing and productivity initiatives. A significant factor contributing to improved profitability was the substantial decrease in Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses, largely due to $130 million in AFFF insurance recoveries and a $70 million gain from the divestiture of the ADT Mexico business. Despite a notable increase in the income tax provision, resulting in a higher effective tax rate of 21.4% compared to 11.5% in the prior year, net income attributable to Johnson Controls rose to $524 million, or $0.85 per diluted share, from $419 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, in the prior year's comparable period. The company also reported robust growth in both backlog and orders, up 20% and 39% respectively, fueled by increased customer investments in data center projects.
