Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(Dollars in tables and graphs in millions)

The following Management Discussion and Analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The financial information as of June 30, 2022, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, contained in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Note 3 Acquisitions and Divestitures of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of acquisition and divestiture activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

BUSINESS UPDATE

We continue to monitor several macroeconomic and geopolitical trends, that have impacted our business, including changing conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic, the on-going Russia-Ukraine conflict, inflationary cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages.

In July 2022, we will realign certain business units within the Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business segment. This realignment will not impact the four reportable business segments identified by the Company. We intend to report financial performance based on this realignment effective with the reporting of third quarter 2022 results. See Note 18 Subsequent Events of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

COVID-19 UPDATE

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our business operations, and our customers' and suppliers' ability to operate at normal levels. Disruptions in normal operating levels continue to create supply chain disruptions and inflationary cost pressures within our end-markets. We anticipate supply chain constraints, and the inflationary environment will continue during 2022. As such, we implemented short-term and long-term strategies to reduce the impact of current and future effects.

During the first half of 2022, governments around the world removed many restrictions on businesses and the general public. We continue to operate our manufacturing sites at normal production levels. As of June 30, 2022, we have returned nearly all of our non-manufacturing employees to the workplace.

We continue to actively monitor regional COVID-19 outbreaks, and the related government restrictions and lockdown activities in the areas we operate. To date, the impacts of these actions have not been material.

See the section titled Review of Business Segments for additional information on the impacts of COVID-19, inflationary cost pressures, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages, to our businesses.

RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT

In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in March 2022, we suspended substantially all of our sales, distribution, and service activities in Russia and Belarus (the Suspension), and in June 2022, we decided to wind down our existing businesses and operations in Russia (the Wind down). Through the Wind down of our businesses and operations, we will seek to collect outstanding accounts receivables, liquidate our inventory and fixed assets, negotiate and settle existing contractual obligations, trade payables and guarantees, and terminate and payout severance to impacted employees. The Suspension and Wind down impacts all of our reportable business segments, with the most significant impact to our Performance Materials and Technologies segment. In early 2022, we created a Ukraine Relief Fund, allowing employees to make donations to support organizations that are providing direct assistance to Ukrainians and those that are assisting them in the midst of this humanitarian crisis.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $126 million and $309 million, respectively, of charges and the accrual of reserves due to the initial Suspension and Wind down of our businesses and operations. The charges and accrual of reserves during the second quarter of 2022 were primarily related to foreign exchange revaluation on an intercompany loan with a Russian affiliate, inventory reserves, the write-down of other assets, impairment of property, plant and equipment, employee severance, and a tax valuation allowance. The respective impacts to revenues, net income, net assets, cash flow from operations, or our global workforce are not material for the periods recognized. For the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues from sales in Russia represented approximately 1% of our global revenues, while assets in Russia represented less than 1% of our total assets. Based on available information to date, the Company’s estimate of potential future losses or other contingencies related to the Suspension and Wind down activities, including any guarantee payments or any litigation costs or as otherwise related to our Wind down in Russia, could adversely affect the Company's consolidated results of operations in the periods recognized but would not be material with respect to the Company's consolidated financial position. As the conflict continues to evolve, existing conditions may worsen or other impacts that are unknown at this time may arise that could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict caused certain commodity prices to spike, adding to the inflationary pressures in the global economy. We considered the impacts of the conflict on oil and gas prices in our short-term and long-term strategies discussed in the above. Additionally, we continue to assess the current and future impacts of the conflict on already constrained supply chains.

See Item 1A. Risk Factors for additional information on potential risks to our business.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

(Dollars in tables in millions)

We continue to manage our businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. Each of our businesses is focused on increasing operating cash flows through revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved working capital turnover. Additional sources of liquidity include committed credit lines, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, access to the public debt and equity markets, U.S. cash balances, and the ability to access non-U.S. cash balances.

CASH

We monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis. Our emphasis is primarily safety of principal and secondarily maximizing yield of those funds. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. As of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, we held $8.7 billion and $11.5 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including our short-term investments.

BORROWINGS

Consolidated total borrowings were $19.1 billion and $19.6 billion as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021.

Debt issuance costs(203)(211)
Total borrowings$19,077$19,599

A source of liquidity is our ability to access the commercial paper market. Commercial paper notes are sold at a discount or premium and have a maturity of not more than 365 days from date of issuance. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are available for general corporate purposes as well as for financing acquisitions.

We also have the following revolving credit agreements:

  • A $1.5 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated March 24, 2022. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March 23, 2023, unless (i) we elect to convert all then outstanding amounts into a term loan, upon which such amounts shall be repaid in full on March 23, 2024, or (ii) the 364-Day Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced the previously reported $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement dated as of March 31, 2021, which was terminated in accordance with its terms effective March 24, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under our 364-Day Credit Agreement.

  • A $4.0 billion Five Year Credit Agreement (the 5-Year Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated March 24, 2022. Commitments under the 5-Year Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $4.5 billion. The 5-Year Credit Agreement amended and restated the previously reported $4.0 billion amended and restated five year credit agreement dated as of March 31, 2021. As of June 30, 2022, there were no outstanding borrowings under our 5-Year Credit Agreement.

We also have a current shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under which we may issue additional debt securities, common stock, and preferred stock that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We anticipate that net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness, share repurchases, capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Our ability to access the global debt capital markets and the related cost of these borrowings is affected by the strength of our credit rating and market conditions. Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by the major independent debt-rating agencies. As of June 30, 2022, S&P Global Inc. (S&P), Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch), and Moody’s Investor Service (Moody's) have ratings on our debt set forth in the table below:

CASH FLOW SUMMARY

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period$8,248$11,427$(3,179)

Cash related to operating activities decreased due to an unfavorable impact to working capital and a decrease in net income, partially offset by an increase in noncash adjustments, primarily driven by an increase in repositioning and other charges, and a gain from the 2021 sale of the retail footwear business.

Cash related to investing activities increased by $1,657 million primarily due to a $1,149 million decrease in cash paid for acquisitions, and $360 million increase in cash receipts from settlements of derivative contracts, partially offset by $242 million net increase in investments, and $190 million in proceeds from the 2021 sale of the retail footwear business.

Cash related to financing activities increased by $45 million primarily due to $746 million decrease in payments of long-term debt, partially offset by $588 million increase in repurchases of common stock and $55 million increase in cash dividends paid.

CASH REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT LIQUIDITY

In addition to our normal operating cash requirements, our principal future cash requirements will be to fund capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, strategic acquisitions and debt repayments. On February 12, 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to a total of $10 billion of Honeywell common stock, which included amounts remaining under, and replaced, the previously approved share repurchase program. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased common stock of $2,437 million. Refer to the section titled Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2021 Form 10-K for a discussion of our expected capital expenditures, share repurchases, and dividends for 2022.

We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers and sales of our trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions without recourse. The impact of these programs is not material to our overall liquidity.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We continue to assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit, and cash flow contribution in order to identify target investment and acquisition opportunities in order to upgrade our combined portfolio. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify businesses that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability, or growth potential. These businesses are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring, or other repositioning actions, subject to regulatory constraints.

Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Our available cash, committed credit lines and access to the public debt and equity markets provide additional sources of short-term and long-term liquidity to fund current operations, debt maturities, and future investment opportunities.

See Note 8 Long-term Debt and Credit Agreements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of items impacting our liquidity.
