Trane Technologies plc Annual Report, Year Ended Dec 31, 2011

Filed February 21, 2012For Securities:TT

Summary

Trane Technologies plc (formerly Ingersoll-Rand plc) reported fiscal year 2011 results reflecting a strategic shift through significant divestitures of non-core, cyclical businesses, including the Hussmann refrigerated display case business and the security installation and service business. This portfolio transformation aims to enhance future growth and profitability. The company experienced a revenue increase of 5.6% to $14.8 billion, driven by volume, pricing improvements, and favorable currency exchange rates across its Climate Solutions and Industrial Technologies segments. Despite revenue growth, net earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders decreased to $343.2 million from $642.2 million in the prior year, largely due to a substantial $646.9 million loss on sale/asset impairment related to the Hussmann divestiture. The company also saw a significant increase in share repurchases, returning $1.2 billion to shareholders, and increased its quarterly dividend. Management anticipates modest revenue growth and continued benefits from restructuring and productivity programs as economic conditions stabilize.
