Cautionary Statement about Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events or developments that we or our management intends, expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in the light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and other relevant factors. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements, including with respect to any changes in or abandonment of the proposed spin-offs. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to risks and uncertainties, which can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. These forward-looking statements should be considered in the light of the information included in this report and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, without limitation, the Risk Factors, as well as the description of trends and other factors in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, set forth in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Honeywell” or “the Company”) at March 31, 2018 and 2017 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2018 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were March 31, 2018 and April 1, 2017.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We include herein certain updates to those policies.

Reclassifications – Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Sales Recognition—Product and service sales are recognized when or as we transfer control of the promised products or services to our customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance and engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized using either an input or output method. We recognize revenue over time as we perform on these contracts because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. With control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We generally use the cost-to-cost input method of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when such losses become evident, to the extent required.

The customer funding for costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering and development activities of our products under agreements with commercial customers is deferred and subsequently recognized as revenue as products are delivered to the customers. Additionally, expenses incurred, up to the customer agreed funded amount, are deferred as an asset and recognized as cost of sales when products are delivered to the customer. The deferred customer funding and costs result in recognition of deferred costs (asset) and deferred revenue (liability) on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Revenues for our mechanical service programs are recognized as performance obligations are satisfied over time, with recognition reflecting a series of distinct services using the output method.

The terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, cash-based incentives, rebates, performance awards, or credits. We estimate variable consideration at the most likely amount we will receive from customers. We include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not

7

Honeywell International Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Our estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of our anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to us.

Aerospace Sales Incentives— We provide sales incentives to commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines in connection with their selection of our aircraft equipment, predominately wheel and braking system hardware, avionics, and auxiliary power units, for installation on commercial aircraft. These incentives consist of free or deeply discounted products, credits for future purchases of product or upfront cash payments. These costs are generally recognized in the period incurred as cost of products sold or as a reduction to relevant sales, as appropriate.

Pension Benefits—On January 1, 2018, we retrospectively adopted the new accounting guidance on presentation of net periodic pension costs. That guidance requires that we disaggregate the service cost component of net benefit costs and report those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of net benefit costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component.

Following the adoption of this guidance, we continue to record the service cost component of Pension ongoing (income) expense in Costs of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses. The remaining components of net benefit costs within Pension ongoing (income) expense, primarily interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are now recorded in Other (income) expense. We will continue to recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment). The MTM Adjustment will also be reported in Other (income) expense.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our consolidated result of operations, financial position and cash flows (Consolidated Financial Statements).

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance on accounting for leases which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets for the rights and obligations created by those leases. The guidance requires enhanced disclosures regarding the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases that will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt the requirements of the new standard effective January 1, 2019. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating our lease portfolio to assess the impact to the Consolidated Financial Statements as well as planning for adoption and implementation of this standard, which includes assessing the impact on information systems and internal controls.

In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments to hedge accounting guidance. These amendments are intended to better align a company’s risk management strategies and financial reporting for hedging relationships. Under the new guidance, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting and the application of hedge accounting is simplified. In addition, the new guidance amends presentation and disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including for interim periods within those years. The guidance requires the use of a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and whether we will early adopt this guidance.

In February 2018, the FASB issued guidance that allows for an entity to elect to reclassify the income tax effects on items within accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from U.S. tax reform to retained earnings. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted, including interim periods within those years. We are currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and whether we will make the allowed election.

Note 3. Repositioning and Other Charges

A summary of repositioning and other charges follows:

The following table summarizes the pretax distribution of total net repositioning and other charges by income statement classification:

The following table summarizes the pretax impact of total net repositioning and other charges by segment:

In the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $86 million including severance costs of $31 million related to workforce reductions of 1,153 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in Aerospace and Safety and Productivity Solutions. The workforce reductions were primarily related to site transitions to more cost-effective locations. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $47 million primarily in our Corporate segment related to the write-down of a legacy property in connection with its planned disposition.

In the quarter ended March 31, 2017, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $23 million including severance costs of $20 million related to workforce reductions of 622 manufacturing and administrative positions across our segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to cost savings actions taken in connection with our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives and with site transitions, mainly in Aerospace, to more cost-effective locations. Also, $6 million of net reserve adjustments increased the previously established

9

Honeywell International Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

accruals, primarily for severance in Aerospace, due mainly to lower attrition than anticipated and higher expected severance payments.

The following table summarizes the status of our total repositioning reserves:

Certain repositioning projects in 2018 and 2017 included exit or disposal activities, the costs related to which will be recognized in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. Such exit and disposal costs are not expected to be significant.

Note 4. Other (Income) Expense

Separation costs are associated with our previously announced spin-offs of our Homes and Global Distribution business and Transportation Systems business, and are primarily for costs incurred for third party services.

Other (net) includes an asset impairment in our Corporate segment related to the write-down of a legacy property in connection with its planned disposition. Refer to Note 3 Repositioning and Other Charges for further details of transactions recognized.

Note 5. Earnings Per Share

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

The diluted earnings per share calculations exclude the effect of stock options when the options’ assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the weighted average number of stock options excluded from the computations was 1.1 million and 2.1 million. These stock options were outstanding at the end of each of the respective periods.

As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, total shares outstanding were 746.9 million and 762.3 million and as of both March 31, 2018 and 2017, total shares issued were 957.6 million.

Note 6. Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers

Adoption

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new guidance on revenue from contracts with customers using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with previous guidance.

We recorded a net decrease to opening retained earnings of $75 million as of January 1, 2018, for the cumulative impact of adopting the new guidance. The impact primarily related to the change in accounting for mechanical service programs (change from input to output method, resulting in unbilled receivables (within Accounts receivable – net) and deferred revenue (within Accrued liabilities) being eliminated through Retained earnings) and for customer funding and the related costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering and development activities (deferral of revenues and related incurred costs until products are delivered to customers, resulting in increases in both deferred costs (assets) and deferred revenue (liability) by approximately $1.1 billion at adoption).

11

Honeywell International Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Under the modified retrospective method of adoption, we are required to disclose the impact to revenues had we continued to follow our accounting policies under the previous revenue recognition guidance. We estimate that the impact to revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2018 would have been a decrease of approximately $120 million, which is primarily due to the net impact of the classification change and deferral impact of nonrecurring engineering and development activities, and the net impact from service programs with certain amounts being recognized that would have previously been deferred, and certain amount being deferred that would have previously been recognized.

Refer to Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for a summary of our significant policies for revenue recognition.

For a summary by disaggregated product and services sales for each segment, refer to Note 12 Segment Financial Data.

We recognize revenue arising from performance obligations outlined in contracts with our customers that are satisfied at a point in time and over time. The disaggregation of our revenue based off timing of recognition is as follows:

Contract Balances

Progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers and the related billings and cash collections are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accounts receivable - net and Other assets (the current and noncurrent portions, respectively, of unbilled receivables (contract assets) and billed receivables) and Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities (the current and noncurrent portions, respectively, of customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities)). Unbilled receivables (contract assets) arise when the timing of cash collected from customers differs from the timing of revenue recognition, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Those assets are recognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of us satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recorded, either when a milestone is met triggering the contractual right to bill or when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

14

Honeywell International Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

The following table summarizes our contract assets and liabilities balances:

The net change was primarily driven by the receipt of advance payments from customers exceeding reductions from recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied and related billings. For the quarter ended March 31, 2018, we recognized revenue of $581 million that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.

When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, we consider whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications that are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and our measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.

Performance Obligations

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is defined as the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When our contracts with customers require highly complex integration or manufacturing services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, then the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. In situations when our contract includes distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct goods or services. For any contracts with multiple performance obligations, we allocate the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. In such cases, the observable standalone sales are used to determine the stand alone selling price.

Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time or over time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract. The following table outlines our performance obligations disaggregated by segment.

15

Honeywell International Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Performance obligations recognized as of March 31, 2018 will be satisfied over the course of future periods. Our disclosure of the timing for satisfying the performance obligation is based on the requirements of contracts with customers. However, from time to time, these contracts may be subject to modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance obligations. Performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 58% and 42%.

The timing of satisfaction of our performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. Typical payment terms of our fixed-price over time contracts include progress payments based on specified events or milestones, or based on project progress. For some contracts we may be entitled to receive an advance payment.

We have applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which we recognize revenue in proportion to the amount we have the right to invoice for services performed.

Note 7. Accounts Receivable—Net

Trade receivables include $1,667 million and $1,853 million of unbilled balances under long-term contracts as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of the customer contracts to which they relate.

On January 29, 2018, the Company completed an exchange offer for any and all of its outstanding 3.812% Notes due 2047, which had not been registered (“Unregistered Notes”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) for an equal principal amount of new 3.812% Notes due 2047 which had been registered under the Securities Act (“Registered Notes”). 99.4% of the Unregistered Notes were exchanged for Registered Notes, representing 99.4% of the principal amount of the Company’s outstanding 3.812% Notes due 2047.

On February 22, 2018, the Company paid its Two year floating rate Euro notes.

On February 16, 2018, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement (Second 364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks. The Second 364-Day Credit Agreement is maintained for general corporate purposes.

As of March 31, 2018, there are no outstanding borrowings under any of our credit agreements.

Note 10. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures

Our credit, market, foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies are described in Note 14, Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

The foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, and cross currency swap agreements are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds investments in commercial paper, certificates of deposits, and time deposits that are designated as available for sale and are valued using published prices based off observable market data. As such, these investments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds available for sale investments in U.S. government and corporate debt securities valued utilizing published prices based on quoted market pricing, which are classified within level 1.

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper and short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were not carried at fair value:

The Company determined the fair value of the long-term receivables by discounting based upon the terms of the receivable and counterparty details including credit quality. As such, the fair value of these receivables is considered level 2. The Company determined the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities utilizing transactions in the listed markets for identical or similar liabilities. As such, the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities is also considered level 2.

Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedge relationships with gains or losses on the derivative recognized in interest and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying debt being hedged. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized losses of $46 million and $11 million in earnings on interest rate swap agreements. Gains and losses on the hedging instruments are fully offset by losses and gains on the underlying debt being hedged.

We also economically hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally with forward contracts. These contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings offsetting the gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged. For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $129 million and $34 million of expense in Other (income) expense.

Note 13. Pension Benefits

Net periodic pension benefit costs for our significant defined benefit plans include the following components:

In the first quarter of 2018, the asset mix of our U.S. Qualified Pension Plan (the “Plan”) was changed. Fixed income assets were increased to approximately 50% of the Plan’s total assets and matched with the liability profile of the Plan. The Plan’s remaining assets are comprised of return-seeking assets including, equity securities, private equity investments and real estate investments. We review our asset allocations on a regular basis in order to achieve our long-term investment objectives on a risk adjusted basis.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental Matters

Our environmental matters are described in Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded liabilities for environmental costs:

Environmental liabilities are included in the following balance sheet accounts:

We do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of environmental liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined although they could be material to our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

NARCO Products –In connection with NARCO’s emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2013, a federally authorized 524(g) trust (NARCO Trust) was established for the evaluation and resolution of all existing and future NARCO asbestos claims. Both Honeywell and NARCO are protected by a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing products to be made against the NARCO Trust. The NARCO Trust reviews submitted claims and determines award amounts in accordance with established Trust Distribution Procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court which set forth the criteria claimants must meet to qualify for compensation including, among other things, exposure and medical criteria that determine the award amount. In addition, Honeywell provided, and continues to provide, input to the design of control procedures for processing NARCO claims, and has on-going audit rights to review and monitor the claims processor’s adherence to the established requirements of the Trust Distribution Procedures.

Honeywell is obligated to fund NARCO asbestos claims submitted to the NARCO Trust which qualify for payment under the Trust Distribution Procedures (Annual Contribution Claims), subject to annual caps of $140 million in 2018 and $145 million for each year thereafter. However, the initial $100 million of claims processed through the NARCO Trust (the Initial Claims Amount) will not count against the annual cap and any unused portion of the Initial Claims Amount will roll over to subsequent years until fully utilized. In 2015, Honeywell filed suit against the NARCO Trust in Bankruptcy Court alleging breach of certain provisions of the Trust Agreement and Trust Distribution Procedures. The parties agreed to dismiss the proceeding without prejudice pursuant to an 18 month Standstill Agreement. Claims processing continued during this period as the parties attempted to resolve disputed issues. The Standstill Agreement expired on October 12, 2017. Notwithstanding its expiration, claims processing continues, and Honeywell continues to negotiate and attempt to resolve remaining disputed issues (that is instances where Honeywell believes the Trust is not processing claims in accordance with established Trust Distribution Procedures). Honeywell reserves its right to seek judicial intervention should negotiations fail or prove futile. As of March 31, 2018, Honeywell has not made any payments to the NARCO Trust for Annual Contribution Claims.

Honeywell is also responsible for payments due to claimants pursuant to settlement agreements reached during the pendency of the NARCO bankruptcy proceedings that provide for the right to submit claims to the NARCO Trust subject to qualification under the terms of the settlement agreements and Trust Distribution Procedures criteria (Pre-established Unliquidated Claims), which amounts are estimated at $150 million and are expected to be paid during the initial years of trust operations ($5 million of which has been paid since the effective date of the NARCO Trust). Such payments are not subject to the annual cap described above.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for Pre-established Unliquidated Claims ($145 million), as well as unsettled claims pending as of the time NARCO filed for bankruptcy protection and operating and legal costs related to the Trust (collectively $25 million) and for the estimated value of future NARCO asbestos claims expected to be asserted against the NARCO Trust ($743 million). The estimate of future NARCO claims was prepared in 2002, in the same year NARCO filed for bankruptcy protection, using NARCO tort system litigation experience based on a commonly accepted methodology used by numerous bankruptcy courts addressing 524(g) trusts. Accordingly, the estimated value of future NARCO asbestos claims was prepared before there was data on claims filings and payment rates in the NARCO Trust under the Trust Distribution Procedures and also prepared when the stay of all NARCO asbestos claims was in effect (which remained in effect until NARCO emerged from Bankruptcy protection). Some critical assumptions underlying this commonly accepted methodology included claims filing rates, disease criteria and payment values contained in the Trust Distribution Procedures, estimated approval rates of claims submitted to the NARCO Trust and epidemiological studies estimating disease instances. The estimated value of the future NARCO liability reflects claims expected to be asserted against NARCO over a fifteen year period. This projection resulted in a range of estimated liability of $743 million to $961 million. We believe that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount and accordingly, we have recorded the minimum amount in the range. Given the Trust’s lack of sufficient claims processing experience since NARCO emerged from bankruptcy protection, it is not yet possible to reliably estimate future claim costs based on actual Trust experience.

Our insurance receivable corresponding to the estimated liability for pending and future NARCO asbestos claims reflects coverage which reimburses Honeywell for portions of NARCO-related indemnity and defense costs and is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. We conduct analyses to estimate the probable amount of insurance that is recoverable for asbestos claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. We made judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings and our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers.

Projecting future events is subject to many uncertainties that could cause the NARCO-related asbestos liabilities or assets to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. Given the uncertainties, we review our estimates periodically, and update them based on our experience and other relevant factors. Similarly, we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other developments that may impact insurance recoveries.

Bendix Products—The following tables present information regarding Bendix related asbestos claims activity:

Honeywell has experienced average resolution values per claim excluding legal costs as follows:

It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix-related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending (claims actually filed as of the financial statement date) and future Bendix-related asbestos claims. We have valued Bendix pending and future claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. We update the resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix pending and future claims during the fourth quarter each year.

The liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against Bendix over the next five years. Such estimated cost of future Bendix-related asbestos claims is based on historic claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and resolution values in the tort system for the previous five years. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections, as well as certain factors unique to friction product asbestos claims, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond the next five years. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims is similar to that used to estimate the liability for future NARCO-related asbestos claims.

Our insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and future Bendix asbestos claims reflects coverage which is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Based on our ongoing analysis of the probable insurance recovery, insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the estimated liability for the underlying asbestos claims. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers.

Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and reserves to cover all pending Bendix-related asbestos claims and Bendix-related asbestos claims estimated to be filed within the next five years. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of either pending or future Bendix-related asbestos claims, we do not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average resolution value of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid (collectively, the Variable Claims Factors) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix-related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not change.

Other Matters

We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters are the following:

Honeywell v. United Auto Workers (UAW) et. al—In September 2011, the UAW and certain Honeywell retirees (Plaintiffs) filed a suit in the Eastern District of Michigan (the District Court) alleging that a series of Master Collective Bargaining Agreements (MCBAs) between Honeywell and the UAW provided the retirees with rights to lifetime, vested healthcare benefits that could never be changed or reduced. Plaintiffs alleged that Honeywell had violated those vested rights by implementing express limitations (CAPS) on the amount Honeywell contributed toward healthcare coverage for the retirees. Honeywell subsequently answered the UAW’s complaint and asserted counterclaims, including for breach of implied warranty.

Between 2014 and 2015, Honeywell began enforcing the CAPS against former employees. In response, the UAW and certain of the Plaintiffs filed a motion seeking a ruling that the MCBAs do not limit Honeywell’s obligation to contribute to healthcare coverage for those retirees.

On March 29, 2018, the District Court issued its opinion resolving all pending summary judgment motions, except for Honeywell’s counterclaim for breach of implied warranty which remains outstanding.

25

Honeywell International Inc.

(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

In the opinion, the District Court held that the MCBAs do not promise retirees vested, lifetime benefits that survive expiration of the MCBAs. Based on this ruling, Honeywell has informed the UAW and the retirees that it intends to terminate their healthcare coverage benefits altogether as of July 31, 2018.

However, the District Court also held that Honeywell is obligated under the MCBAs to pay the “full premium” for retiree healthcare rather than the capped amount. Based on this ruling, Honeywell would be required to pay monetary damages to retirees for any past years in which Honeywell paid less than the “full premium” of their healthcare coverage. Such damages would be limited, depending on the retiree group, to a two to three year period ending when the 2017 MCBA went into effect, and Honeywell would have no ongoing obligation to continue funding healthcare coverage for subsequent periods. Honeywell has appealed the District Court’s ruling on this “full premium” damages issue, and it is confident that the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals will reverse the District Court on that issue. In the event the Sixth Circuit were to sustain the District Court’s ruling on this issue, Honeywell would be liable for damages of at least $12 million.

Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations (including the specific matter referenced above), we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters (other than as specifically set forth above). Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

The following MD&A 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 months ended March 31, 2018. The financial information as of March 31, 2018 should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017 contained in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted a new accounting standard that resulted in the components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost other than service costs to no longer be presented in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses, but to instead be presented within Other (income) expense. See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 4 Other (Income) Expense of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under that guidance, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the previous guidance. See Note 6 Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Net Sales

The change in net sales compared to the prior year period is attributable to the following:

A discussion of net sales by segment can be found in the Review of Business Segments section of this MD&A. The foreign currency translation impact is principally driven by the strengthening of the Euro, British Pound and Chinese Renminbi against the U.S. Dollar. In addition to the drivers noted above, there was a lesser impact from the adoption of the new revenue recognition standard.

Cost of Products and Services Sold

Cost of products and services sold increased principally due to higher direct material costs of approximately $610 million (driven primarily by higher sales volumes and foreign currency translation, partially offset by productivity net of inflation).

27

Gross margin percentage decreased primarily due to lower gross margin in Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies (approximately 0.4 percentage point impact collectively).

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased primarily driven by the unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and higher repositioning charges allocated to selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the favorable impact of productivity, net of inflation.

Other (Income) Expense

Other (income) expense increased primarily due to an increase in pension ongoing income – non-service which was partially offset by separation costs associated with the announced spin-offs of our Homes and Global Distribution business and Transportation Systems business.

Tax Expense

The effective tax rate increased for the quarter primarily due to decreased tax benefits from employee share-based payments and tax reserves, partially offset by tax benefits from U.S. tax reform.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended in 2018 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of state income taxes and U.S tax reform’s expansion of the anti-deferral rules that impose U.S. taxes on foreign earnings.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended 2017 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% resulting in part from non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates and from benefits from manufacturing incentives.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. enacted tax reform that instituted fundamental changes to the taxation of multinational corporations. As a result of the tax reform, we recorded a provisional tax charge at December 31, 2017 of $1.9 billion related to the mandatory transition tax and $2.1 billion related to taxes on undistributed foreign earnings that are no longer intended to be permanently reinvested. We recorded a provisional amount because certain information related to the computation of earnings and profits, distributable reserves, and foreign exchange gains and losses is not readily available; some of the testing dates to determine taxable amounts have not yet occurred; and there is limited information from federal and state taxing authorities regarding the application and interpretation of the recently enacted legislation. In accordance with current SEC guidance the Company will report the impact of final provisional amounts in the reporting period in which the accounting is completed, which will not exceed one year from the date of enactment of the tax reform.

28

As of March 31, 2018, the Company has not completed the accounting for any of the tax effects of the tax reform described above and there have been no material changes to our estimated amounts. Accordingly, there has been no change to the provisional amounts previously recorded and there is no impact to the March 31, 2018 effective tax rate for such provisional amounts.

The effective tax rate can vary from quarter to quarter for unusual or infrequently occurring items, such as the tax impacts from the resolution of income tax audits, changes in tax laws, employee share-based payments, revisions to the provisional amounts from U.S. tax reform, internal restructurings or pension mark-to-market adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Honeywell

Earnings per share of common stock – assuming dilution increased primarily driven by increased segment profit across all segments and increased pension and other postretirement income partially offset by a higher effective tax rate, higher repositioning and other charges, and separation costs associated with the announced spin-offs of our Homes and Global Distribution business and Transportation Systems business.

Review of Business Segments

Aerospace

30

Aerospace sales increased primarily due to organic sales growth, the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and the impact of the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard (included within Acquisitions, divestitures and other, net in the table above).

Aerospace segment profit increased due to an increase in operational segment profit, the favorable impact of currency translation, and the impact on service programs from the adoption of the new revenue recognition accounting standard. The increase in operational segment profit was driven primarily by higher organic sales volumes, lower OEM incentives, partially offset by the favorable impact of non-recurring customer contract close-outs and renewals in the prior year and inflation impacts. Cost of products and services sold increase primarily driven by higher organic sales, the impact of foreign currency translation and inflation.

Home and Building Technologies

In the first quarter of 2018, the Home and Building Technologies segment made organizational changes to further align its businesses under Homes and Buildings reporting, respectively.

31

Home and Building Technologies sales increased primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and organic sales growth.

Home and Building Technologies segment profit increased due to higher operational segment profit and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in operational segment profit is primarily due to the favorable impact from price partially offset by higher sales of lower margin offerings. Cost of products and services sold increased primarily due to the impact of foreign currency translation and higher sales volume.

Performance Materials and Technologies

Performance Materials and Technologies sales increased due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and an increase in organic sales volumes.

32

Performance Materials and Technologies segment profit increased primarily due to the favorable impact of foreign currency translation and an increase in operational segment profit. The increase in operational segment profit is primarily due to productivity, net of inflation, higher organic sales volume and pricing, partially offset by higher sales of lower margin products and continued investments for growth. Cost of products and services sold increased primarily due to foreign currency translation and higher organic sales volumes, partially offset by productivity, net of inflation.

Safety and Productivity Solutions

Safety and Productivity Solutions sales increased due to organic sales growth and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation.

Safety and Productivity Solutions segment profit increased primarily due to an increase in operational segment profit and the favorable impact of foreign currency translation. The increase in operational segment profit was primarily driven by an increase in sales volume and productivity, net of inflation, partially offset by higher sales of lower margin categories. Cost of products and services sold increased primarily due to higher organic sales and the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by productivity, net of inflation.

Repositioning

Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $79 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018 and was funded through operating cash flows. In 2018, we expect cash spending for repositioning actions to be approximately $250 million and to be funded through operating cash flows.

33

Cash Flow Summary

Cash provided by operating activities increased by $196 million primarily due to decreased cash tax payments of $191 million.

Cash provided by investing activities increased by $1,598 million primarily due to a net $1,686 million decrease in investments, primarily short term marketable securities, partially offset by an increase of $94 million in settlement payments of foreign currency exchange contracts used as economic hedges on certain non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

Cash used for financing activities increased by $830 million primarily due to an increase in net repurchases of common stock of $791 million and an increase in cash dividends paid of $53 million.

Liquidity

The Company continues to manage its businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. In addition to our available cash and operating cash flows, additional sources of liquidity include committed credit lines, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, as well as access to the public debt and equity markets. We continue to balance our cash and financing uses through investment in our existing core businesses, debt reduction, acquisition activity, share repurchases and dividends.

We continuously assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit and cash flow contribution in order to upgrade our combined portfolio and identify business units that will most benefit from increased investment. We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify business units 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 2018, we are not required to make contributions to our U.S. pension plans. We plan to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $140 million ($99 million of marketable securities were contributed in January 2018) to our non-U.S. plans in 2018 to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. The timing and amount of contributions to both our U.S. and non-U.S. plans may be impacted by a number of factors, including the funded status of the plans.

In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company repurchased $940 million of outstanding shares. Under the Company’s previously approved $8 billion share repurchase program, $6.8 billion remained available as of March 31, 2018 for additional share repurchases. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time to offset the dilutive impact over the long-term of employee stock-based compensation plans, including future option exercises, restricted unit vesting and matching contributions under our savings plans. Additionally, we will seek 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.

See Note 9 Long-term Debt and Credit Agreements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of items impacting our liquidity.

Critical Accounting Policies

Sales Recognition on Long-Term Contracts—We recognize sales for long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time using either an input or output method. We recognize revenue over time as we perform on these contracts based on the continuous transfer of control to the customer. With control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We generally use the cost-to-cost input method of progress for our contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs. Under the cost-to-cost method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion requires judgment. Contract revenues are largely determined by negotiated contract prices and quantities, modified by our assumptions regarding contract options, change orders, incentive and award provisions associated with technical performance and price adjustment clauses (such as inflation or index-based clauses). Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms, historical performance trends and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence these estimates include inflationary trends, technical and schedule risk, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization, and anticipated labor agreements. Revenue and cost estimates are regularly monitored and revised based on changes in circumstances. Impacts from changes in estimates of net sales and cost of sales are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation’s percentage of completion. Anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recognized when such losses become evident. We maintain financial controls over the customer qualification, contract pricing and estimation processes to reduce the risk of contract losses.
