Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to our Risk Factors presented in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled Risk Factors. For further discussion of our Risk Factors, refer to the section titled Risk Factors in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company is subject to risks related to its plan to spin off its Advanced Materials business into a standalone, publicly traded company.

On October 8, 2024, the Company announced its intent to spin off its Advanced Materials business, which is part of its Energy and Sustainability Solutions reportable business segment, into an independent, U.S. publicly traded company, in a transaction that is intended to be tax-free for the Company’s shareowners for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The spin-off will be subject to the satisfaction of a number of customary conditions, including, among others, finalization of the financial statements of the Advanced Materials business, the filing and effectiveness of applicable filings (including a Form 10 registration statement) with the SEC, assurance that the spin-off of the Advanced Materials business will be tax-free to Honeywell’s shareowners, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and final approval by Honeywell’s Board of Directors. The failure to satisfy all of the required conditions, as well as additional factors such as conditions in the equity and debt markets, other external conditions, and developments or challenges involving the intended spin-off, the Company or any of its businesses, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could delay the completion of the spin-off relative to the anticipated timeline or prevent it from occurring. These or other unanticipated developments could delay or prevent the proposed spin-off or cause the proposed spin-off to occur on terms or conditions that are less favorable than anticipated, including without limitation, the failure to qualify as tax-free to our shareowners (which could result in significant income tax liabilities to the Company and/or its shareholders), and the inability of the spun-off company to incur sufficient indebtedness to allow for a distribution to Honeywell of proceeds concurrently with the consummation of the spin-off. Furthermore, if the spin-off is completed, there is no guarantee that it will be successful in meeting its objectives or achieving its intended benefits. Whether or not the spin-off is ultimately completed, the Company and our business may face challenges as a result of the transaction, including potential business disruption; the diversion of management’s time; and potential negative impacts on the Company’s relationships with its customers, employees, regulators and other counterparties. Any of these factors could negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and the price of our common stock.

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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 three months ended September 30, 2024, no shares were repurchased by the Company. As of September 30, 2024, $5.9 billion remained available for additional share repurchases. The following table summarizes our purchases of Honeywell's common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2024:
