Any forward-looking plans described herein are not final and may be modified or abandoned at any time.
Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell, we, us, our, or the Company) is an integrated operating company serving a broad range of industries and geographies around the world.
Leveraging our Honeywell Accelerator operating model, we delivered strong performance in 2023, remaining focused on creating long-term shareholder value.
In 2023, we announced the next phase of Accelerator, version 3.0 of Honeywell's robust operating system, taking an important step toward standardizing our organization end-to-end across our four main business models - products, aftermarket services, projects, and software - and facilitating knowledge transfer of best practices to drive incremental growth, margin expansion, and cash generation.
We are completing the buildout of our full suite of information technology (IT) platforms covering all different aspects of the value chain, and implementing digital threads to provide valuable data that will improve our business performance.
Over the last six years, the efforts of the “Great Integration” of Honeywell transformed the organization into an integrated operating company, deploying world-class capabilities and multiple growth enablers that benefit each strategic business group.
We are focused on aligning our businesses with three distinct megatrends (automation, future of aviation, and energy transition), all underpinned by digitization.
During the year, we deployed $8.3 billion to capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and mergers and acquisitions.
We opportunistically repurchased shares to maintain our commitment to reduce share count by at least 1% per year, and increased our dividend for the fourteenth time in the last thirteen years.
Our mergers and acquisition activities focused on key acquisitions to align with our megatrends.
We announced three acquisitions - our acquisitions of Compressor Controls Corporation and SCADAfence, as well as our agreement to acquire Carrier Global Corporation’s Global Access Solutions business.
As we look forward, we intend to continue deploying capital to high-return opportunities.

Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell or the Company) invents and commercializes technologies that address some of the world’s most critical challenges around energy, safety, security, air travel, productivity, and global urbanization.
We are a leading software-industrial company committed to introducing state of the art technology solutions to improve efficiency, productivity, sustainability, and safety in high growth businesses in broad-based, attractive industrial end markets.
Our rigorous operating principles allowed us to once again deliver a very strong performance in 2022.
We grew our market share and positioned our businesses for continued success in the future.
Empowered by our Honeywell Accelerator operating model, we adapted our approach to strained supply chains and mitigated profitability loss due to inflation.
In 2022, we deepened commitments with critical suppliers, improved demand forecasting, enhanced communication across our businesses to coordinate larger orders with key suppliers, and reengineered products in an effort to significantly mitigate sales risk.
We also embedded comprehensive near real-time inflation analysis into our operating system, enabling strategic pricing actions to help stay ahead of the inflation curve and protect profitability.
We maintained our commitment to create long-term shareowner value by realizing the benefits of operational excellence and deploying $7.9 billion to capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and mergers and acquisitions, which was approximately $2.6 billion in excess of our operating cash flow for the year.
As we look forward, we intend to continue deploying capital to high-return opportunities, including software and services and sustainable technologies, which are intended to position our business for future growth.
In 2023, we expect macroeconomic factors to remain turbulent.
