The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell, we, us, our, or the Company) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The financial information as of June 30, 2023, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, contained in our 2022 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, 2023. Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

BUSINESS UPDATE

Historically, we included Company-sponsored costs and costs that relate to contracts with customers for research and development projects as a component of Cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Effective January 1, 2023, we began classifying Company-sponsored costs for research and development projects as a separate financial statement line item, titled Research and development expenses, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, and recast prior period results for this reclassification. This reclassification had no impact on net income, earnings per share, cash flows, segment reporting, or financial position. We revised historical periods to reflect this change in presentation.

In July 2022, we realigned certain business units within the Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business segment. The Safety and Retail business unit, which included our gas detection and safety business, combined with the Advanced Sensing Technologies business unit to form the Sensing and Safety Technologies business unit. This realignment provides opportunities to capitalize on shared synergies and core technologies resulting in greater value for our customers and the markets we serve. We recast historical periods to reflect this realignment.

MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS

Through the first half of 2023, material inflation continued to moderate. While we see signs of relief in supply chains for semiconductors and logistics, we continue to experience supply chain constraints, including labor shortages in the Aerospace supply base, and inflationary cost pressures in manufacturing labor. We continue to leverage previously implemented short-term and long-term mitigation strategies.

Our mitigation strategies include pricing actions, longer term planning for constrained materials, material supply tracking tools, and direct engagement with key suppliers to meet customer demand. Our relationships with primary and secondary suppliers allow us to reliably source key components and raw materials. Where we cannot procure key components or raw materials, we consider altering existing products and develop new products to satisfy customer needs. Alterations to existing products and the development of new products undergo product quality controls and engineering qualification, prior to releasing to our customers. In addition, we assist our suppliers facing manufacturing challenges by committing our own resources to their sites and facilities. We believe these mitigation strategies enable us to reduce supply risk, accelerate new product innovation, and expand our penetration in the markets we serve. Additionally, due to the strenuous quality controls and product qualification we perform on a new or altered product, we do not expect these mitigation strategies to impact product quality or reliability.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to create volatility in global financial and energy markets and contribute to supply chain shortages adding to the inflationary pressures in the global economy. We actively collaborate with our suppliers to minimize impacts of supply shortages on our manufacturing capabilities and implement strategies to reduce our reliance on natural gas at critical sites in Europe.

To date, our strategies successfully mitigated our exposure to these conditions. However, if we are not successful in sustaining these strategies, these macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows.

REPOSITIONING CHARGES

See Note 5 Repositioning and Other Charges of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our repositioning actions and related charges incurred in the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $150 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023, and was funded through operating cash flows.

43 Honeywell International Inc.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

(Dollars in tables in millions)

We 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 U.S. cash balances, and the ability to access non-U.S. cash balances, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets.

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 counterparty. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we held $8.8 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including our short-term investments.

As of June 30, 2023, $5.1 billion of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. We do not have material amounts related to any jurisdiction subject to currency control restrictions that impact our ability to access and repatriate such amounts. Under current laws, we do not expect taxes on repatriation or restrictions on amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity.

CASH FLOW SUMMARY

Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, are summarized as follows:

Cash related to operating activities decreased by $249 million primarily driven by the payment pursuant to the North American Refractories Company (NARCO) Amended Buyout Agreement and payment for the settlement of UOP Matters. This was partially offset by cash generated from operations, which included a favorable impact of working capital and the HWI Net Sale Proceeds. The favorable impact of working capital was driven by a $399 million decrease in Accounts receivable, primarily due to higher cash receipts, and a $354 million increase in Accounts payable, primarily due to increased material receipts and lower disbursements. See Note 14 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the NARCO Amended Buyout Agreement, HWI Net Sale Proceeds, and UOP Matters.

Cash related to investing activities decreased by $1,123 million primarily due to a $483 million increase in cash paid for acquisitions, $409 million cash receipts from Garrett Motion Inc. (Garrett) in 2022, and $375 million decrease in cash receipts from settlements of derivative contracts related to foreign exchange hedging, partially offset by $227 million net decrease in investments, as maturing short-term investments are moved into cash deposits.

44 Honeywell International Inc.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Cash related to financing activities increased by $2,969 million primarily due to a $2,965 million increase in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt and $1,261 million decrease in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by $1,295 increase in payments of long-term debt.

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 April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 billion of Honeywell common stock, including approximately $2.1 billion of remaining availability under the previously announced $10 billion share repurchase authorization. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased common stock of $1,176 million. Refer to the section titled Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of our expected capital expenditures, share repurchases, and dividends for 2023.

We continue to identify opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers and transfer of our trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions on a true sale basis. The impact of these programs is not material to our overall liquidity.

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.

In early 2023, we made payments of approximately $1.5 billion in connection with the NARCO Buyout and UOP Matters. Pursuant to the NARCO Amended Buyout Agreement, we are entitled to receive proceeds related to the HWI Sale. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we received proceeds from the HWI Sale in the amount of $275 million. These payments and receipts have not materially impacted our liquidity position. See Note 11 Fair Value Measurements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to the fair value of future proceeds from the HWI Sale.

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.

BORROWINGS

We leverage a variety of debt instruments to manage our overall borrowing costs. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, our total borrowings were $21.4 billion and $19.6 billion, respectively.

A primary source of liquidity is our ability to access the corporate bond markets. Through these markets, we issue a variety of long-term fixed rate notes, in a variety of currencies, to manage our overall funding costs.

Another primary 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.

45 Honeywell International Inc.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 as of March 20, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March 18, 2024, 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 18, 2025, 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 24, 2022, which was terminated in accordance with its terms effective March 20, 2023. As of June 30, 2023, 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 as of March 20, 2023. 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 24, 2022. As of June 30, 2023, 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.

CREDIT RATINGS

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, 2023, 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:

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

On April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 billion of Honeywell common stock, including approximately $2.1 billion of remaining availability under the previously announced $10 billion share repurchase authorization. The repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time without prior notice.

Repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which could include open market purchases, accelerated share repurchase transactions, negotiated block transactions, 10b5-1 plans, other transactions that may be structured through investment banking institutions or privately negotiated, or a combination of the foregoing. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time (i) to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock-based compensation plans, including option exercises, restricted unit vesting, and matching contributions under our savings plans, and (ii) to reduce share count via share repurchases as and when attractive opportunities arise. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and the level of operating, financing, and other investing activities.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, Honeywell purchased 2,430,801 shares of its common stock, par value $1 per share. As of June 30, 2023, $9.6 billion remained available for additional share repurchases. The following table summarizes our purchases of Honeywell's common stock for the quarter ended June 30, 2023:
