Summary
Johnson Controls International plc (JCI) filed an 8-K on November 8, 2016, to provide supplemental unaudited historical financial information. This information is crucial for investors as it presents a combined view of JCI's historical Building Efficiency business and Tyco's results, reflecting the recent merger between the two entities. It also details the separation of JCI's automotive seating and interiors business, Adient, which was distributed to shareholders. The provided data is intended to help investors understand the ongoing business operations and performance trends of the newly combined JCI and Tyco entity, excluding the divested Adient business.
