NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
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, results of operations, cash flows and shareowners' equity of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) for the periods presented. The interim results of operations and cash flows should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.
Honeywell reports its 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 Honeywell's practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires Honeywell's 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, Honeywell will provide appropriate disclosures. Honeywell's actual closing dates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and September 30, 2020, were October 2, 2021, and September 26, 2020, respectively.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies of the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company includes herein certain updates to those policies.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers 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 Financial Statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The standard’s amendments include changes in various subtopics of accounting for income taxes including, but not limited to, accounting for “hybrid” tax regimes, tax basis step-up in goodwill obtained in a transaction that is not a business combination, intraperiod tax allocation exception to incremental approach, ownership changes in investments, interim-period accounting for enacted changes in tax law, and year-to-date loss limitation in interim-period tax accounting. Effective January 1, 2021, the Company adopted this standard. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued guidance that provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition away from reference rates expected to be discontinued to alternative reference rates. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

On February 12, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the shares outstanding of Sparta Systems, a leading provider of enterprise quality management software for the life sciences industry, for $1,303 million. Sparta Systems is expected to further strengthen the Company's leadership in industrial automation, digital transformation solutions, and enterprise performance management software. The business is included within the Performance Materials and Technologies segment. The assets and liabilities acquired with Sparta Systems are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021, including $383 million of intangible assets and $1,029 million allocated to goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes. The purchase accounting is subject to final adjustment, primarily for the valuation of intangible assets, amounts allocated to goodwill, tax balances, and certain pre-acquisition contingencies.
On March 15, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its retail footwear business in exchange for gross cash consideration of $230 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $95 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was recorded in Other (income) expense.

CONTRACT BALANCES
The Company records progress on satisfying performance obligations to customers, and the related billings and cash collections, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accounts receivable - net and Other assets (unbilled receivables (contract assets) and billed receivables) and Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities (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. Unbilled receivable balance increases when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and decreases when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Contract liabilities increase when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities decrease 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.
The following table summarizes the Company's contract assets and liabilities balances:
2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||
Contract assets - January 1 | $ | 1,618 | $ | 1,602 | |||||||

When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, the Company considers 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 the Company's 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 the Company's 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 the Company's 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, the Company allocates 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 standalone 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 the Company's remaining performance obligations disaggregated by segment:
September 30, 2021 | |||||
Aerospace | $ | 8,890 | |||
Honeywell Building Technologies | 6,813 | ||||
Performance Materials and Technologies | 7,573 | ||||
Safety and Productivity Solutions | 4,264 | ||||
$ | 27,540 |
Performance obligations recognized as of September 30, 2021, will be satisfied over the course of future periods. The Company's 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 56% and 44%, respectively.
The timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. Typical payment terms of the Company's 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.
The Company 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.

In the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gross repositioning charges totaling $69 million including severance costs of $3 million related to workforce reductions of 603 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in our Safety and Productivity Solutions segment. The workforce reductions were primarily related to the re-alignment of a product line in our Safety and Productivity Solutions segment and to our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $20 million primarily related to the write-down of certain manufacturing equipment. The repositioning charge also included exit costs of $46 million primarily for current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects, closure obligations associated with site transitions, and lease obligations for equipment.
In the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized gross repositioning charges totaling $135 million including severance costs of $113 million related to workforce reductions of 3,113 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of the Company's segments, with a majority of the workforce reductions in Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies. The workforce reductions primarily related to the Company aligning its cost structure with the current slowdown in demand for many of the Company's products and services due to the global recession.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gross repositioning charges totaling $280 million including severance costs of $63 million related to workforce reductions of 5,252 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in our Safety and Productivity Solutions and Aerospace segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to the re-alignment of a product line in our Safety and Productivity Solutions segment, site transitions, mainly in Aerospace, to more cost-effective locations, and our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives. The repositioning charge included asset impairments of $107 million primarily related to the write-down of certain manufacturing and other equipment. The repositioning charge included exit costs of $110 million primarily for current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects, closure obligations associated with site transitions, and lease obligations for equipment. Also, $18 million of previously established reserves, primarily for severance, were returned to income due to adjustments to the scope of previously announced repositioning actions.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized gross repositioning charges totaling $491 million including severance costs of $433 million related to workforce reductions of 13,042 manufacturing and administrative positions across the Company's segments, with a majority of the workforce reductions in Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies. The workforce reductions primarily related to the Company aligning its cost structure with the current slowdown in demand for many of the Company's products and services due to the global recession, and the Company's productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives. The repositioning charges included exit costs of $47 million primarily related to current period exit costs incurred for previously approved repositioning projects. Also, $42 million of previously established reserves, primarily for severance, were returned to income mainly as a result of higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance actions resulting in lower severance payments.
The following table summarizes the status of the Company's total repositioning reserves:

Certain repositioning projects will recognize exit costs in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. Such exit costs incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were $30 million and $32 million, respectively.
NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% and increased during 2021 compared to 2020 primarily due to an expense related to UOP matters with no corresponding tax benefit, incremental tax reserves and state taxes, partially offset by increased tax benefits for employee share-based compensation and the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters in the current year, the absence of prior year items including a non-cash charge related to the reduction of the aggregate carrying value of certain receivables with no corresponding tax benefit, tax benefits realized as a result of the favorable resolution of a foreign tax matter related to the spin-off transactions, tax law changes in India and the resolution of certain U.S. tax matters.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy:
•Level 1 - Inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
•Level 2 - Inputs are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
•Level 3 - One or more inputs are unobservable and significant.
Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis:

The Company does 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, the Company does not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.
In conjunction with the Resideo Technologies, Inc. (Resideo) spin-off, the Company entered into an indemnification and reimbursement agreement with a Resideo subsidiary, pursuant to which Resideo’s subsidiary has an ongoing obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s annual net spending for environmental matters at certain sites as defined in the agreement. The amount payable to Honeywell in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million, and the obligation will continue until the earlier of December 31, 2043, or December 31, of the third consecutive year during which the annual payment obligation is less than $25 million.
Reimbursements associated with this agreement are collected from Resideo quarterly and were $35 million and $105 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and offset operating cash outflows incurred by the Company. As the Company incurs costs for environmental matters deemed probable and reasonably estimable related to the sites covered by the indemnification and reimbursement agreement, a corresponding receivable from Resideo for 90% of such costs is also recorded. This receivable amount recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, was $111 million. As of September 30, 2021, Other current assets and Other assets included $140 million and $457 million, respectively, for the short-term and long-term portion of the receivable amount due from Resideo under the indemnification and reimbursement agreement.

NARCO Products – NARCO manufactured high-grade, heat-resistant, refractory products for various industries. Honeywell’s predecessor, Allied Corporation, owned NARCO from 1979 to 1986. Allied Corporation sold the NARCO business in 1986 and entered into a cross-indemnity agreement which included an obligation to indemnify the purchaser for asbestos claims, arising primarily from alleged occupational exposure to asbestos-containing refractory brick and mortar for high-temperature applications. NARCO ceased manufacturing these products in 1980 and filed for bankruptcy in January 2002, at which point in time all then current and future NARCO asbestos claims were stayed against both NARCO and Honeywell pending the reorganization of NARCO. The Company established its initial liability for NARCO asbestos claims in 2002.
NARCO emerged from bankruptcy in April 2013, at which time a federally authorized 524(g) trust was established to evaluate and resolve all existing NARCO asbestos claims (the Trust). 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 Trust. The NARCO Trust Agreement (TA) and the NARCO Trust Distribution Procedures (TDP) set forth the structure and operating rules of the Trust, and established Honeywell’s evergreen funding obligations.
In accordance with the TA, the Trust is eligible to receive cash dividends from Harbison-Walker International Inc. (HWI), the reorganized and renamed entity that emerged from the NARCO bankruptcy. HWI cash dividends are required to be used to pay asbestos-related claims which qualify for payment under the TDP (Annual Contribution Claims) until those funds are exhausted, at which point Honeywell’s funding obligation, subject to an annual cap of $145 million, is triggered. The Company is also required to fund amounts owed pursuant to settlement agreements reached during the pendency of the NARCO bankruptcy proceedings that provide for the right to submit claims to the Trust subject to qualification under the terms of the settlement agreements and TDP (Pre-Established Unliquidated Claims), as well as fund the annual operating costs of the Trust. There is no annual funding cap relative to Pre-Established Unliquidated Claims. In July 2021, HWI paid a dividend of $47 million to the Trust.
The operating rules per the TDP defines criteria claimants must meet for a claim to be considered valid and paid, which include adequate medical evidence of the claimant’s asbestos-related condition and credible evidence of exposure to a specific NARCO asbestos-containing product. The TDP allows Honeywell to audit claim support documents against these criteria. Once operational in 2014, the Trust began to receive, process and pay claims. The Company identified several issues with the way the Trust was adhering to the TDP in audits subsequent to the Trust becoming operational. The Company continued to identify and dispute these matters as further claims have been and are processed. In September 2021, Honeywell filed suit against the Trust in Bankruptcy Court alleging, among other claims, breach of certain provisions of the TA and TDP. The Trust also filed suit against Honeywell, alleging Honeywell has breached its obligations under the Trust's governing documents. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of these matters.
Due to the bankruptcy filing in 2002, claimants were not permitted to file additional claims until the Trust became operative in 2014. As a consequence, there was a large backlog of claims filed with the Trust upon it becoming operative in 2014 through December 31, 2017, the date by which these claims had to be filed or else be barred by the expiration of the statute of limitations. Therefore, the claims filing rate did not start to normalize until 2018 and thereafter. As a result, between 2002 and 2018, the Company lacked a history of sufficiently reliable claims data to derive a reasonable estimate of its NARCO asbestos-related liability, and the Company continued to update its original estimate, as appropriate, using all available information.

In 2020, with three years of sufficiently reliable claims data, the Company updated its estimate of the NARCO asbestos-related liability utilizing claims data from January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. The Company utilizes an asbestos liability valuation specialist to support our preparation of the NARCO asbestos-related liability estimates. Our estimates, which involve significant management judgment, consider multiple scenarios, including a scenario adjusting for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Trust's ability to process claims during 2020. The estimate for the resolution of asserted Annual Contribution Claims and Pre-Established Unliquidated Claims uses average payment values for the relevant historical period. For unasserted claims, the estimate is based on historic and anticipated claims filing experience and payment rates, disease classifications and type of claim, and average payment values by the Trust for the relevant historical period. The Company's estimate also includes all years of epidemiological disease projection through 2059.
The NARCO asbestos-related liability reflects an estimate for the resolution of Annual Contribution Claims and Pre-Established Unliquidated Claims filed with the Trust, as well as for unasserted Annual Contribution Claims and Pre-Established Unliquidated Claims. The NARCO asbestos-related liability excludes the annual operating expenses of the Trust which are expensed as they are incurred.
The Company's NARCO-related insurance receivable reflects coverage which reimburses Honeywell for portions of NARCO-related claims and defense costs. This coverage 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. Honeywell's NARCO-related insurance receivable is an estimate of the probable amount of insurance that is recoverable for asbestos claims. Most of our insurance carriers remain solvent. However, select individual insurance carriers are now insolvent, which we have considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. Our judgments related to our insurance carriers and insurance coverages are reasonable and consistent with Honeywell's historical dealings and Honeywell's knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers.

The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of asserted (claims filed as of the financial statement date) and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims, which exclude the Company’s ongoing legal fees to defend such asbestos claims which will continue to be expensed as they are incurred.
The Company reflects the inclusion of all years of epidemiological disease projection through 2059 when estimating the liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. Such liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims is based on historic and anticipated claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and resolution values in the tort system for the previous five years. The Company has valued Bendix asserted and unasserted claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. The Company updates the resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix asserted and unasserted claims during the fourth quarter each year.
The Company's insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of asserted and unasserted 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.
On October 31, 2018, David Kanefsky, a Honeywell shareholder, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 related to the prior accounting for Bendix asbestos claims. An Amended Complaint was filed on December 30, 2019, and on February 7, 2020, we filed a Motion to Dismiss. On May 18, 2020, the court denied our Motion to Dismiss. We believe the claims have no merit.
GARRETT LITIGATION AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
In conjunction with the Garrett spin-off, the Company entered into a binding indemnification and reimbursement agreement (Garrett Indemnity) and a binding tax matters agreement (Tax Matters Agreement) with Garrett and a Garrett subsidiary. On December 2, 2019, Garrett and Garrett ASASCO Inc. filed a Summons with Notice and commenced a lawsuit in the Commercial Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the State Court), seeking to invalidate the Garrett Indemnity. Garrett sought damages and a declaratory judgment based on various claims set forth in the Summons with Notice. On July 17, 2020, the Company received a notice from Garrett asserting that the Company had caused material breaches of the Tax Matters Agreement and that the Tax Matters Agreement was unenforceable.
On September 20, 2020, Garrett and 36 of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). On September 24, 2020, Garrett moved the existing State Court litigation against Honeywell to the Bankruptcy Court. On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Garrett’s amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the Confirmed Plan), and on April 30, 2021 (the Effective Date), Garrett emerged from bankruptcy. On the Effective Date, and in accordance with the Confirmed Plan, (i) the Company received from Garrett an initial payment of $375 million and 834.8 million shares of Garrett's Series B Preferred Stock in full and final satisfaction of the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement, (ii) the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement were terminated, (iii) the Company and Garrett mutually released each other from the claims asserted in all pending legal actions related to the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement, and (iv) all pending litigation between the Company and Garrett in connection with those agreements was resolved.
The Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation provides for mandatory redemptions by Garrett of $35 million in 2022 and $100 million per year from 2023 to 2030 (inclusive) at the anniversary of the Effective Date, unless (i) Garrett’s consolidated EBITDA as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year is less than $425 million, or (ii) Garrett does not have sufficient funds available to pay the redemption, at which point the redemption amounts past due will accrue interest. The Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also includes rights which allow (a) the Company to put the Series B Preferred Stock to Garrett if certain EBITDA conditions are met, and (b) Garrett to call the Series B Preferred Stock in whole or in part if certain EBITDA conditions are met.

(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
On September 30, 2021, Garrett filed an Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation requires Garrett to partially redeem a portion of the Series B Preferred Stock on or before March 31, 2022, such that the present value of remaining outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock will be $400 million, subject to applicable law, including that Garrett has funds legally available for the partial redemption. Such redemption would be applied to the latest scheduled redemption dates, beginning with the shares to be redeemed in 2030. The Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also provides that the Company cannot exercise its right to put the Series B Preferred Stock to Garrett until after December 31, 2022, subject to the EBITDA conditions described in the above section, unless the partial redemption does not occur on or before March 31, 2022. All other material terms and conditions in the Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation are unchanged from the original Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation, including the scheduled redemption payment by Garrett of $35 million due April 30, 2022.
We recorded the Series B Preferred Stock at fair value at the Effective Date. We believe the present value of the mandatory redemptions is an appropriate basis for determining the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock. Our present value reflects amortized cost determined by the present value of the mandatory redemptions discounted at 7.25%, which is the rate reflected in the Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation. The discount amount will accrete into interest income over the mandatory redemption period. In addition to the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company subscribed for 4.2 million shares of Garrett's Series A Preferred Stock, which are convertible into Garrett’s Common Stock if certain conditions are met. Prior to and following Garrett’s emergence from bankruptcy, the Company also held 2.9 million shares of Garrett’s Common Stock. As of September 30, 2021, Short-term investments included $242 million and Investments and long-term receivables included $405 million for the Company's investments in Garrett's Series B Preferred Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock.
The Garrett matter and bankruptcy proceedings are described in further detail in Note 20 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
OTHER MATTERS
The Company is 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 (including the matter described below). We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in such 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.
Such matters include:
•Petrobras and Unaoil – We continue to cooperate with investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Brazilian authorities relating to our use of third parties who previously worked for our UOP business in Brazil in relation to Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) in connection with a project awarded in 2010. The investigations focus on compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar Brazilian laws (the UOP Matters), and involve, among other things, document production and interviews with former and current management and employees. The DOJ and the SEC are also examining a matter involving a foreign subsidiary’s prior contract with Unaoil S.A.M. in Algeria executed in 2011. We continue to be engaged in discussions with the authorities with respect to a potential comprehensive resolution of these matters.

HONEYWELL INTERNATIONAL INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Unaudited)
(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
As the discussions are both ongoing and at different stages with regards to each respective authority, there can be no assurance as to whether we will reach a resolution with such authorities or as to the potential timing, terms, or collateral consequences of any such resolution. As a result, we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these UOP Matters or the potential impact on the Company. Based on available information to date, we estimate that a potential comprehensive resolution of these UOP Matters would result in a probable loss of at least $160 million, and we have recorded a charge in this amount in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, and have accrued a corresponding liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Amounts payable to authorities pursuant to any potential final comprehensive resolution could differ from the amount recorded in our consolidated financial statements. Based on available information to date, we do not expect that any such difference would be material with respect to our consolidated financial position.
Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations, we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible losses (or a range of possible losses) in excess of current accruals for such matters. Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of such 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 consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021. The financial information as of September 30, 2021, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, contained in our 2020 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021.
COVID-19 UPDATE
Our business faced significant disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the resulting global recession, causing a slow-down in demand for many of our products and services. Our business continues to recover from the effects of the pandemic. We continue to monitor several macroeconomic effects, including, supply chain constraints and materials and labor shortages.
As new variants of the virus emerge, we remain cautious as many factors remain unpredictable. We actively monitor and respond to the changing conditions created by the pandemic, with focus on prioritizing the health and safety of our employees, dedicating resources to support our communities, and innovating to address our customers’ needs.
On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order for U.S. Government contractors. We are taking steps to comply with the executive order and announced a vaccine mandate for all U.S.-based employees, contractors, and subcontractors that work on or in support of contracts with the U.S. Government be fully vaccinated or receive an approved medical or religious exemption by December 8, 2021. In addition, on September 9, 2021, President Biden announced that he directed the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to develop an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) mandating either the full vaccination or weekly testing of employees for employers with 100 or more employees. Employees who are not subject to the executive order and who are not fully vaccinated may be subject to the ETS that will require them to get a COVID-19 test at least once a week. OSHA has not issued the ETS nor provided any additional information on its contents or requirements. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Form 10-Q, for discussion of risks associated with the potential adverse effects on our workforce of the U.S. Government vaccine mandate for employees, contractors, and subcontractors that service federal contracts and the OSHA requirement on our workforce.. Additionally, see the section titled Risk Factors in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for discussion of risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. A discussion of the impact of COVID-19 can also be found in the Results of Operations section of this Management Discussion and Analysis.

39 Honeywell International Inc.
Tax Expense
Q3 2021 compared to Q3 2020
The effective tax rate decreased due to the absence of a non-cash charge related to the reduction of the aggregate carrying value of certain receivables with no corresponding tax benefit in the prior year, partially offset by the recognition of an expense related to UOP matters with no corresponding tax benefit, incremental tax reserves and state taxes, increased tax benefits for employee share-based compensation and the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters in the current year.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2021, was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the recognition of an expense related to UOP matters with no corresponding tax benefit, incremental tax reserves and state taxes, partially offset by tax benefits for employee share-based compensation and the resolution of certain foreign tax matters.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% primarily from a non-cash charge related to the reduction of the aggregate carrying value of certain receivables with no corresponding tax benefit, incremental tax reserves and state taxes partially offset by foreign earnings taxed at lower foreign tax rates.
YTD 2021 compared to YTD 2020
The effective tax rate increased during 2021 compared to 2020 primarily from the recognition of an expense related to UOP matters with no corresponding tax benefit, incremental tax reserves and state taxes partially offset by increased tax benefits for employee share-based compensation and the favorable resolution of certain foreign tax matters in the current year along with the absence of prior year items including a non-cash charge related to the reduction of the aggregate carrying value of certain receivables with no corresponding tax benefit, tax benefits realized as a result of the favorable resolution of a foreign tax matter related to the spin-off transactions, tax law changes in India and the resolution of certain U.S. tax matters.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $286 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and was funded through operating cash flows.
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 as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
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 September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, we held $12.1 billion and $15.2 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including our short-term investments.

BORROWINGS
Consolidated total borrowings were $21.2 billion and $22.4 billion as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020.

Other | 171 | 266 | |||||||||
Total borrowings | $ | 21,249 | $ | 22,384 |
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, which can provide financing for general corporate purposes:
•A $1.5 billion 364-Day Credit Agreement (the 364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated March 31, 2021. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March 30, 2022, 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 30, 2023, or (ii) the 364-Day Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaces the previously reported $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement dated as of April 10, 2020, which was terminated in accordance with its terms effective March 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2021, 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 31, 2021. 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 April 26, 2019. As of September 30, 2021, there were no outstanding borrowings under our 5-Year Credit Agreement.
We also have a current shelf registration statement with the 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.
For additional information, see Note 9 Long-Term Debt and Credit Agreements for discussion of long-term debt issuances and redemptions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
49 Honeywell International Inc.
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 September 30, 2021, Standard & Poor's (S&P), Fitch, and Moody’s have ratings on our debt set forth in the table below:

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:
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||||||
2021 | 2020 | ||||||||||
Cash provided by (used for): | |||||||||||

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash | (21) | (19) | |||||||||
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (3,188) | $ | 4,969 |
Cash provided by operating activities decreased by $51 million due to an unfavorable impact to working capital of $427 million, a net unfavorable impact of changes in assets and liabilities, which resulted in a $183 million use of cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to providing cash of $135 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The overall change was partially offset by an increase in net income of $694 million.
Cash used for investing activities increased by $937 million primarily due to $1,334 million in cash paid for acquisitions and $346 million net increase in investments, partially offset by $375 million cash receipt from Garrett Motion Inc. (Garrett), $203 million in proceeds from the sale of the retail footwear business, and $163 million increase in cash receipts from settlements of derivative contracts.
Cash used for financing activities increased by $7,167 million primarily due to $7,596 million decrease of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, $350 million increase in repurchases of common stock, $62 million decrease in the net proceeds from the issuance of commercial paper and other short-term borrowings, and $29 million increase in cash dividends paid. This was partially offset by a $882 million decrease in repayments 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 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company repurchased common stock of $2,499 million. Refer to the section titled Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2020 Form 10-K for a discussion of our expected capital expenditures, share repurchases and dividends for 2021.
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 are not material to our overall liquidity.
50 Honeywell International Inc.
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 9 Long-term Debt and Credit Agreements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of items impacting our liquidity.
OTHER MATTERS
LITIGATION
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to our Critical Accounting Estimates presented in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion of the Company’s Critical Accounting Estimates, see the section titled Critical Accounting Estimates in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On April 26, 2021, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court) confirmed Garrett's amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the Confirmed Plan) and on April 30, 2021, Garrett emerged from bankruptcy. In accordance with Garrett’s emergence from bankruptcy and the Confirmed Plan, the Company received from Garrett an initial payment of $375 million and 834.8 million shares of Series B Preferred Stock in full satisfaction of our indemnification and reimbursement agreement and tax matters agreement. As a result, we updated our Critical Accounting Estimate for Reimbursement Receivables to exclude receivable amounts from Garrett which were satisfied in full. See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on Garrett.
Reimbursement Receivables—In conjunction with the Resideo Technologies, Inc. (Resideo) spin-off, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement under which Honeywell receives cash payments as reimbursement primarily related to net spending for environmental matters at certain sites as defined in the reimbursement agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded receivables based on estimates of the underlying reimbursable Honeywell environmental spend, and we monitor the recoverability of such receivables, which are subject to the terms of applicable credit agreements and general ability to pay.

Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports that Honeywell files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, and our Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business. See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental, asbestos and other litigation matters.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Other than as noted below, there have been no material changes to our Risk Factors presented in our 2020 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 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The U.S. presidential executive order concerning mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of U.S.-based employees of companies that work on or in support of federal contracts could have a material adverse impact on our business and results of operations.
On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order requiring all employers with U.S. Government contracts to ensure that their U.S.-based employees, contractors, and subcontractors, that work on or in support of U.S. Government contracts, are fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021. The executive order includes on-site and remote U.S.-based employees, contractors and subcontractors and it only permits limited exceptions for medical and religious reasons.
In addition, on September 9, 2021, President Biden announced that he has directed OSHA to develop an ETS mandating either the full vaccination or weekly testing of employees for employers with 100 or more employees. OSHA has not issued the ETS nor provided any additional information on its contents or requirements.
It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact the executive order or OSHA ETS will have on our workforce. As a U.S. Government contractor, we are requiring all U.S. based employees, contractors and subcontractors that service or support our U.S. Government contracts to be fully vaccinated by December 8, 2021. Employees who are not subject to this requirement and who are not fully vaccinated may be subject to the ETS that will require them to get a COVID-19 test at least once a week. Additional vaccine mandates may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. Our implementation of these requirements may result in attrition, including attrition of critically skilled labor, and difficulty securing future labor needs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
52 Honeywell International Inc.
Garrett Emergence from Bankruptcy
On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Garrett's amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and on April 30, 2021, Garrett emerged from bankruptcy. As such, the risk factor discussing Garrett and the potential outcome of Garrett's bankruptcy proceedings as disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K under the section titled Risk Factors was no longer a risk as of June 30, 2021. See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on Garrett.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Honeywell purchased 2,910,464 shares of its common stock, par value $1 per share, in the quarter ended September 30, 2021. 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 approximately $2.8 billion remaining under, and replaced, the previously approved share repurchase program, which was approved in April 2019, and authorized repurchases of up to $10 billion.
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.
As of September 30, 2021, $8.0 billion remained available for additional share repurchases. The following table summarizes Honeywell’s purchase of its common stock for the quarter ended September 30, 2021:
