UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2019 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in our Annual Report to Shareowners (2018 Annual Report) incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for calendar year 2018 (2018 Form 10-K).
Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Business Acquisitions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our investment in business acquisitions was $39 million, which consisted of small acquisitions at Otis.
On June 9, 2019, UTC entered into a merger agreement with Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) providing for an all-stock merger of equals transaction.  The Raytheon merger agreement provides, among other things, that each share of Raytheon common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Raytheon merger (except for shares held by Raytheon as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive 2.3348 shares of UTC common stock.  Upon the closing of the Raytheon merger, Raytheon will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC, and UTC will change its name to Raytheon Technologies Corporation. On October 11, 2019, the shareowners of UTC and Raytheon approved the proposals necessary to complete the Raytheon merger. The Raytheon merger is expected to close in the first half of 2020 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, as well as the completion of UTC's previously announced separation of its Otis and Carrier businesses.
On November 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Rockwell Collins (the "Rockwell Acquisition"), a leader in aviation and high-integrity solutions for commercial and military customers as well as leading-edge avionics, flight controls, aircraft interior and data connectivity solutions. Under the terms of the Rockwell acquisition agreement, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Rockwell Collins issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Rockwell Acquisition (other than shares held by Rockwell Collins, the Company, Riveter Merger Sub Corp or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries) was converted into the right to receive (1) $93.33 in cash, without interest, and (2) 0.37525 shares of Company common stock (together, the “Acquisition Consideration”), less any applicable withholding taxes, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The total aggregate consideration payable in the Rockwell Acquisition was $15.5 billion in cash ($14.9 billion net of cash acquired) and 62.2 million shares of Company common stock. In addition, $7.8 billion of Rockwell Collins debt was outstanding at the time of the Rockwell Acquisition. This equated to a total enterprise value of $30.6 billion, including the $7.8 billion of Rockwell Collins' outstanding debt.

The cash consideration utilized for the Rockwell Acquisition was partially financed through the previously disclosed issuance of $11.0 billion aggregate principal notes on August 16, 2018 for net proceeds of $10.9 billion. For the remainder of the cash consideration, we utilized repatriated cash and cash equivalents and cash flow generated from operating activities.
Preliminary Allocation of Consideration Transferred to Net Assets Acquired:
The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Rockwell Collins acquisition. The final determination of the fair value of certain assets and liabilities will be completed up to a one year measurement period from the date of acquisition as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. As of September 30, 2019, the valuation studies necessary to determine the fair market value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been finalized, including the validation of the underlying cash flows used to determine the fair value of the identified intangible assets. The size and breadth of the Rockwell Collins acquisition necessitates use of the one year measurement period to adequately analyze all the factors used in establishing the asset and liability fair values as of the

In order to allocate the consideration transferred for Rockwell Collins, the fair values of all identifiable assets and liabilities were established. For accounting and financial reporting purposes, fair value is defined under FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” as the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Additionally, fair value measurements for an asset assume the highest and best use of that asset by market participants. Use of different estimates and judgments could yield different results. Fair value adjustments to Rockwell Collins' identified assets and liabilities resulted in an increase in inventory and fixed assets of $282 million and $256 million, respectively. In determining the fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, a review was conducted for any significant contingent assets or liabilities existing as of the acquisition date. The preliminary assessment did not note any significant contingencies related to existing legal or government action.

Table of Contents

The fair values of the customer relationship and related program intangible assets, which include the related aerospace program original equipment ("OEM") and aftermarket cash flows, were determined by using an “income approach." Under this approach, the net earnings attributable to the asset or liability being measured are isolated using the discounted projected net cash flows. These projected cash flows are isolated from the projected cash flows of the combined asset group over the remaining economic life of the intangible asset or liability being measured. Both the amount and the duration of the cash flows are considered from a market participant perspective. Our estimates of market participant net cash flows considered historical and projected pricing, remaining developmental effort, operational performance, including company specific synergies, aftermarket retention, product life cycles, material and labor pricing, and other relevant customer, contractual and market factors. Where appropriate, the net cash flows are probability-adjusted to reflect the uncertainties associated with the underlying assumptions as well as the risk profile of the net cash flows utilized in the valuation. The probability-adjusted future cash flows are then discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The customer relationship and related program intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis (which approximates the economic pattern of benefits) over the estimated economic life of the underlying programs of 10 to 20 years. The developed technology intangible asset is being amortized over the economic pattern of benefit. The fair value of the tradename intangible assets were determined utilizing the relief from royalty method which is a form of the income approach. Under this method, a royalty rate based on observed market royalties is applied to projected revenue supporting the valuation of the tradename and discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The tradename intangible assets have been determined to have an indefinite life. The intangible assets included above consist of the following:

We also identified customer contractual obligations on certain contracts with economic returns that are lower than could be realized in market transactions as of the acquisition date. We measured these liabilities under the measurement provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” which is based on the price to transfer the obligation to a market participant at the measurement date, assuming that the liability will remain outstanding in the marketplace. Based on the estimated net cash outflows of the programs plus a reasonable contracting profit margin required to transfer the contracts to market participants, we recorded assumed liabilities of approximately $1,020 million. These liabilities will be liquidated in accordance with the underlying pattern of obligations, as reflected by the expenses incurred on the contracts. Total consumption of the contractual obligation for the next five years is expected to be as follows: $36 million remaining in 2019, $114 million in 2020, $101 million in 2021, $106 million in 2022, and $91 million in 2023.
Acquisition-Related Costs:
Acquisition-related costs have been expensed as incurred. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, approximately $30 million and $71 million, respectively, of transaction and integration costs have been incurred. These costs were recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Supplemental Pro-Forma Data:
Rockwell Collins' results of operations have been included in UTC’s financial statements for the period subsequent to the completion of the acquisition on November 26, 2018. Rockwell Collins contributed sales of approximately $6.9 billion and operating profit of approximately $1.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The following unaudited supplemental pro-forma data presents consolidated information as if the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2017. The pro-forma results were calculated by combining the results of UTC with the stand-alone results of Rockwell Collins for the pre-acquisition periods, which were adjusted to account for certain costs that would have been incurred during this pre-acquisition period:

Dispositions. Cash inflows related to dispositions during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were $134 million and primarily consisted of the dispositions of businesses held for sale associated with the Rockwell Collins acquisition. In accordance with conditions imposed for regulatory approval of the acquisition, Rockwell Collins was required to dispose of certain businesses. These businesses were held separate from UTC’s and Rockwell Collins' ongoing businesses pursuant to regulatory requirements. Definitive agreements to sell each of the businesses were entered into prior to the completion of UTC's acquisition of Rockwell Collins. The related assets and liabilities of these businesses had been accounted for as held for sale at fair value less cost to sell. As of December 31, 2018, assets held for sale of $175 million were included within Other assets, current and liabilities held for sale of $40 million were included within Accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The major classes of assets and liabilities primarily include net Inventory of $51 million and net Fixed assets of $37 million. In the first quarter of 2019, Rockwell Collins completed the sale of all businesses which were held for sale as of December 31, 2018.
On November 26, 2018, the Company announced its intention to separate into three independent companies. Following the separations, the Company will operate as an aerospace company comprised of Collins Aerospace Systems and the Pratt & Whitney businesses, and Otis and Carrier will become independent companies. The proposed separations are expected to be effected through spin-offs of Otis and Carrier that are intended to be tax-free for the Company’s shareowners for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and are expected to be completed in the first half of 2020. Separation of Otis and Carrier from UTC via spin-off transactions will be subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including, among others, final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, receipt of tax rulings in certain jurisdictions and/or a tax opinion from external counsel (as applicable), the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements, and satisfactory completion of financing (subject to UTC’s agreement to consummate the distributions pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Raytheon merger agreement). In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, $342 million of Selling, general and administrative costs and $618 million of tax charges have been incurred related to the portfolio separation activities.

In addition to customer relationship intangible assets obtained through business combinations, customer relationship intangible assets include payments made to our customers to secure certain contractual rights. Such payments are capitalized when distinct rights are obtained and sufficient incremental cash flows to support the recoverability of the assets have been established. Otherwise, the applicable portion of the payments is expensed. We amortize these intangible assets based on the underlying pattern of economic benefit, which may result in an amortization method other than straight-line. In the aerospace industry, amortization based on the pattern of economic benefit generally results in lower amortization expense during the development period with amortization expense increasing as programs enter full production and aftermarket cycles. If a pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. We classify amortization of such payments as a reduction of sales. The collaboration intangible assets are amortized based upon the pattern of economic benefits as represented by the underlying cash flows.
Amortization of intangible assets for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $369 million and $1,091 million, respectively, compared with $225 million and $680 million for the same periods of 2018. The following is the expected amortization of intangible assets for the years 2019 through 2024, which reflects the pattern of expected economic benefit on certain aerospace intangible assets.

Note 2: Revenue Recognition
We account for revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
Performance Obligations. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. Some of our contracts with customers contain a single performance obligation, while others contain multiple performance obligations most commonly when a contract spans multiple phases of the product life-cycle such as development, production, maintenance and support. 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 there are multiple performance obligations within a contract, we allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation based on its standalone selling price.
We consider the contractual consideration payable by the customer and assess variable consideration that may affect the total transaction price, including contractual discounts, contract incentive payments, estimates of award fees, unfunded contract value under U.S. Government contracts, and other sources of variable consideration, when determining the transaction price of each contract. We include variable consideration in the estimated transaction price when there is a basis to reasonably estimate the amount. These estimates are based on historical experience, anticipated performance and our best judgment at the time. We also consider whether our contracts provide customers with significant financing. Generally, our contracts do not contain significant financing.
Timing of the satisfaction of performance obligations varies across our businesses due to our diverse product and service mix, customer base, and contractual terms.
Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of September 30, 2019 our total RPO was approximately $127.7 billion compared to

15
Table of Contents

$115.5 billion as of December 31, 2018. Of the total RPO as of September 30, 2019, we expect approximately 43% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.
Capitalized Contract Costs. We incur costs for engineering and development of aerospace products directly related to existing or anticipated contracts with customers. Such costs generate or enhance our ability to satisfy our performance obligations under these contracts. We capitalize these costs as contract fulfillment costs to the extent the costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin and subsequently amortize the costs as the OEM products performance obligations are satisfied. In instances where intellectual property does not transfer to the customer, we defer the customer funding of OEM product engineering and development and recognize revenue when the performance obligations related to the OEM products are satisfied. Capitalized net contract fulfillment costs were $1,383 million and $914 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively and are recognized in Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase in capitalized net contract fulfillment costs is primarily driven by current year activity in the recently acquired Rockwell Collins businesses.
Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized and performance obligations satisfied in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of the satisfaction of performance under the contract. We receive payments from customers based on the terms established in our contracts. Total contract assets and contract liabilities as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of the common stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards when the awards’ assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately 8.0 million and 11.0 million, respectively. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the number of stock awards excluded from the computation was approximately 5.0 million and 5.2 million, respectively.

At September 30, 2019, we had credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $10.35 billion, including: a $2.20 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2.15 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in August 2021; and a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and a $4.0 billion term credit agreement, both of which we entered into on March 15, 2019 and which will expire on March 15, 2021 or, if earlier, the date that is 180 days after the date on which each of the separations of Otis and Carrier have been consummated. As of September 30, 2019, there were no borrowings under any of these agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of September 30, 2019, our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was $6.35 billion. Commercial paper borrowings at September 30, 2019 include approximately €750 million ($824 million) of euro-denominated commercial paper. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. The need for commercial paper borrowings arises when the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.

On September 27, 2019 we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under the shelf registration statement.  
Note 6: Income Taxes
The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 is primarily the result of tax charges connected to the Company’s portfolio separation transactions and the non-deductible impact related to the impairment of an investment at Carrier.

19
Table of Contents

The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is principally related to the items described above offset in part by gains associated with the conclusion of the audit by the Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service for the UTC 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax years and the filing by a subsidiary of the Company to participate in an amnesty program offered by the Italian Tax Authority in the second quarter of 2019.
We conduct business globally and, as a result, UTC or one or more of our subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With few exceptions, we are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2008.
In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. Subject to the impact of the Company’s portfolio separation transactions, it is reasonably possible that a net reduction within the range of $100 million to $600 million of unrecognized tax benefits may occur within the next 12 months as a result of additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the closure of tax statutes, or the revaluation of current uncertain tax positions arising from the issuance of legislation, regulatory or other guidance or developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts. See Note 15, Contingent Liabilities, for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions, included in the above range, related to pending litigation with respect to certain deductions claimed in Germany.
During the quarter, the Company recognized net non-cash gains of approximately $18 million, including pre-tax interest of approximately $5 million, as a result of various federal, state and non-US statute of limitations expirations and settlements with tax authorities. The Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service is currently auditing Rockwell Collins fiscal tax years 2016 and 2017, prior to its acquisition by UTC, which will continue into 2020.
Note 7: Employee Benefit Plans
Pension and Postretirement Plans. In the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we amended our domestic pension plans to cease accrual of additional benefits for future service and compensation for non-union participants effective December 31, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2020, these participants will earn additional contributions under our domestic savings plan. We utilized the practical expedient and remeasured plan assets and pension benefit obligations for the affected pension plans as of the nearest month-end, August 31, 2019, resulting in a net actuarial loss of $425 million. This reflects a benefit obligation gain of $180 million resulting from the benefit plan change that was offset by remeasurement losses of $605 million. The remeasurement losses are driven by a reduction of 124 basis points in the PBO discount rate as of the remeasurement date compared to December 31, 2018, partially offset by actual asset returns of approximately 17% as of the remeasurement date.
In the quarter ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a curtailment gain of $98 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, due to the recognition of previously unrecognized prior service credits for the affected pension plans. Additionally, as a result of the remeasurement, pension income (excluding curtailment) decreased by approximately $10 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2019.
We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans, and defined contribution plans. Contributions to our plans were as follows:

We made no contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans for quarter ended September 30, 2019 and $25 million of contributions in the nine months ended September 30, 2019. There were no contributions to our domestic defined benefit pension plans in the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2018. Included in the current year contributions to employer sponsored defined contribution plans for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is $98 million of contributions to the Rockwell Collins participants. The following table illustrates the components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for our defined pension and other postretirement benefit plans:

2017 and Prior Actions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $42 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2017 and prior. As of September 30, 2019, we have approximately $73 million of accrual balances remaining related to 2017 and prior actions.
Note 9: Financial Instruments
We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures.
The four quarter rolling average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $18.5 billion and $20.1 billion at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective.
We have €4.95 billion of euro-denominated long-term debt and €750 million of euro-denominated commercial paper borrowings outstanding, which qualify as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses. As of September 30, 2019, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective.
Assuming current market conditions continue, a $57 million pre-tax loss is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into Product sales to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange hedging within the next 12 months. At September 30, 2019, all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges will mature by October 2023.
The effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments within Other income, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations was as follows:

Valuation Techniques. Our available-for-sale securities include equity investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally, and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange contracts that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks.
As of September 30, 2019, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.

We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments totaling approximately $15.7 billion and $15.5 billion as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms. Associated risks on these commitments from changes in interest rates are mitigated because interest rates are variable during the commitment term and are set at the date of funding based on current market conditions, the fair value of the underlying collateral and the credit worthiness of the customers. As a result, the fair value of these financings is expected to equal the amounts funded.
Note 11: Long-Term Financing Receivables
Our long-term financing receivables primarily represent balances related to the aerospace businesses such as long-term trade accounts receivable, leases, and notes receivable. We also have other long-term receivables in our commercial businesses; however, both the individual and aggregate amounts of those other receivables are not significant. The following table summarizes the balance by class of aerospace business related long-term receivables as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Customer credit ratings range from customers with an extremely strong capacity to meet financial obligations to customers whose uncollateralized receivable is in default. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from

estimates or that consideration of these factors in the future will not result in an increase or decrease to the allowance for credit losses on long-term receivables. Based upon the customer credit ratings, approximately $150 million of our total long-term receivables were considered to bear high credit risk as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
For long-term trade accounts receivable, we evaluate credit risk and collectability individually to determine if an allowance is necessary. Our long-term receivables reflected in the table above, which include reserves of $22 million and $16 million as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, are individually evaluated for impairment. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any significant balances that are considered to be delinquent, on non-accrual status, past due 90 days or more, or considered to be impaired.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220). The new standard allows companies to reclassify to retained earnings the stranded tax effects in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) from the TCJA. We elected to reclassify the income tax effects of TCJA from AOCI of $745 million to retained earnings, effective January 1, 2019.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. This ASU modifies how entities measure equity investments and present changes in the fair value of financial liabilities. Upon adoption, investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method generally must be carried at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We had approximately $5 million of unrealized gains on these securities recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2017. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018, with these amounts recorded directly to retained earnings as of that date.
Amounts reclassified that relate to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include the amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. These costs are recorded as components of net periodic pension cost for each period presented. Additionally, in quarter ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a curtailment gain of $98 million in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations which is included within amounts reclassified related to our defined pension and postretirement plans. (See Note 7 for additional details).
All noncontrolling interests with redemption features, such as put options, that are not solely within our control (redeemable noncontrolling interests) are reported in the mezzanine section of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, between liabilities and equity, at the greater of redemption value or initial carrying value.
Note 13: Variable Interest Entities

Table of Contents

Pratt & Whitney holds a 61% net interest in the International Aero Engines AG (IAE) collaboration with MTU Aero Engines AG (MTU) and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC) and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE. IAE's business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support of the V2500 program through involvement with the collaborators. Additionally, Pratt & Whitney, JAEC and MTU are participants in International Aero Engines, LLC (IAE LLC), whose business purpose is to coordinate the design, development, manufacturing and product support for the PW1100G-JM engine for the Airbus A320neo aircraft and the PW1400G-JM engine for the Irkut MC21 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney holds a 59% net interest and a 59% ownership interest in IAE LLC. IAE and IAE LLC retain limited equity with the primary economics of the programs passed to the participants. As such, we have determined that IAE and IAE LLC are variable interest entities with Pratt & Whitney the primary beneficiary. IAE and IAE LLC have, therefore, been consolidated. The carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities for variable interest entities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet are as follows:

Note 15: Contingent Liabilities
Summarized below are the matters previously described in Note 18 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2018 Form 10-K, updated as applicable.
Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Environmental. Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report, we have accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassess these amounts. We believe that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote. Additional information pertaining to environmental matters is included in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report.
Government. In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries and our properties are subject to regulatory and governmental examinations, information gathering requests, inquiries, investigations and threatened legal actions and proceedings. For example, we are now, and believe that, in light of the current U.S. Government contracting environment, we will continue to be the subject of one or more U.S. Government investigations. Such U.S. Government investigations often take years to complete and could result in administrative, civil or criminal liabilities, including repayments, fines, treble and other damages, forfeitures, restitution or penalties, or could lead to suspension or debarment of U.S. Government contracting privileges. For instance, if we or one of our business units were charged with wrongdoing as a result of any of these investigations or other government investigations (including violations of certain environmental or export laws) the U.S. Government could suspend us from bidding on or receiving awards of new U.S. Government contracts pending the completion of legal proceedings. If convicted or found liable, the U.S. Government could fine and debar us from new U.S. Government contracting for a period generally not to exceed three years. The U.S. Government also reserves the right to debar a contractor from receiving new government contracts for fraudulent, criminal or other seriously improper conduct. The U.S. Government could void any contracts found to be tainted by fraud.
Our contracts with the U.S. Government are also subject to audits. Like many defense contractors, we have received audit reports recommending the reduction of certain contract prices because, for example, cost or pricing data or cost accounting practices used to price and negotiate those contracts may not have conformed to government regulations. Some of these audit

28

reports recommend that certain payments be repaid, delayed, or withheld, and may involve substantial amounts. We have made voluntary refunds in those cases we believe appropriate, have settled some allegations and, in some cases, continue to negotiate and/or litigate. The Company may be, and has been, required to make payments into escrow of disputed liabilities while the related litigation is pending.  If the litigation is resolved in the Company’s favor, any such payments will be returned to the Company with interest. In addition, we accrue for liabilities associated with those matters that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The most likely settlement amount to be incurred is accrued based upon a range of estimates. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, then we accrue the minimum amount.
Legal Proceedings.
Cost Accounting Standards Claims
In April 2019, a Divisional Administrative Contracting Officer (DACO) of the United States Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) asserted a claim against Pratt & Whitney to recover overpayments of approximately $1.73 billion plus interest (approximately $540 million through September 30, 2019). The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney's alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2007 to March 31, 2019, due to its method of allocating independent research and development costs to government contracts. Pratt & Whitney believes that the claim is without merit and filed an appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) on June 7, 2019.  
As previously disclosed, in December 2013, a DCMA DACO asserted a claim against Pratt & Whitney to recover overpayments of approximately $177 million plus interest (approximately $96 million through September 30, 2019). The claim is based on Pratt & Whitney's alleged noncompliance with cost accounting standards from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2012, due to its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts used in the calculation of material overhead costs for government contracts. In 2014, Pratt & Whitney filed an appeal to the ASBCA. An evidentiary hearing was held and completed in June 2019.  The parties are now engaged in post-hearing briefing, and a decision from the ASBCA will follow. We continue to believe that the claim is without merit. In December 2018, a DCMA DACO issued a second claim against Pratt & Whitney that similarly alleges that its method of determining the cost of collaborator parts does not comply with the cost accounting standards for calendar years 2013 through 2017.   This second claim demands payment of $269 million plus interest (approximately $53 million through September 30, 2019), which we also believe is without merit and which Pratt & Whitney appealed to the ASBCA in January 2019.  
German Tax Litigation
As previously disclosed, UTC has been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $237 million) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of Otis operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. UTC estimates interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $130 million). On August 3, 2012, we filed suit in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed our suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court (FTC). Following a hearing in July 2018, the FTC remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. In 2015, UTC made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter.
Asbestos Matters
As previously disclosed, like many other industrial companies, we and our subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos integrated into certain of our products or business premises. While we have never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporate it in any currently-manufactured products, certain of our historical products, like those of many other manufacturers, have contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any year.
The amounts recorded by UTC for asbestos-related liabilities are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and are made with input from outside actuarial experts.  The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $330 million to $395 million.  Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. We have recorded the minimum amount of $330 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019. This amount is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and excludes the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims, which will continue to be expensed by the Company as they are incurred. In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately $142 million, which is included primarily in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2019.

29

The amounts recorded by UTC for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance recoveries are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. Our actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be higher or lower than those recorded if actual results vary significantly from the assumptions. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the outcomes or resolution of such claims, the average cost of resolution of each new claim, the amount of insurance available, the allocation methodologies, the contractual terms with each insurer with whom we have reached settlements, the resolution of coverage issues with other excess insurance carriers with whom we have not yet achieved settlements, and the solvency risk with respect to our insurance carriers. Other factors that may affect our future liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, legal rulings that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal legislation. At the end of each year, the Company will evaluate all of these factors and, with input from an outside actuarial expert, make any necessary adjustments to both our estimated asbestos liabilities and insurance recoveries.
Other.
As described in Note 14 of this Form 10-Q and Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report, we extend performance and operating cost guarantees beyond our normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of our products. We have accrued our estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated.
We also have other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, then we accrue the minimum amount.
In the ordinary course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are also routinely defendants in, parties to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some instances, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
Note 16: Leases
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and its related amendments (collectively, the New Lease Accounting Standard) are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We adopted the New Lease Accounting Standard effective January 1, 2019 and elected the modified retrospective approach in which results for periods before 2019 were not adjusted for the new standard and the cumulative effect of the change in accounting was recognized through retained earnings at the date of adoption.
The New Lease Accounting Standard establishes a right-of-use model that requires a lessee to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases are classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. In addition, this standard requires a lessor to classify leases as either sales-type, finance or operating. A lease will be treated as a sale if it transfers all of the risks and rewards, as well as control of the underlying asset, to the lessee. If risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, the lease is treated as financing. If the lessor doesn’t convey risks and rewards or control, the lease is treated as operating.
We have elected certain of the practical expedients available under the New Lease Accounting Standard upon adoption. We have applied the practical expedient which allows prospective transition to the New Lease Accounting Standard on January 1, 2019. Under the transition practical expedient, we did not reassess lease classification, embedded leases or initial direct costs. We have applied the practical expedient for short-term leases. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. We have elected the practical expedients to combine these components for certain equipment leases. Additionally, for certain equipment leases, we apply a portfolio approach to effectively account for the operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities. The adoption of the New Lease Accounting Standard did not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Upon adoption, we recorded a $2.6 billion right-of-use asset and a $2.7 billion lease liability. The adoption of the New Lease Accounting Standard had an immaterial impact on retained earnings.

Table of Contents

We enter into lease agreements for the use of real estate space, vehicles, information technology equipment, and certain other equipment under operating and finance leases. We determine if an arrangement contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use assets, Accrued liabilities, and Operating lease liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are not considered significant to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Finance lease right-of-use assets at September 30, 2019 of $54 million are included in Other assets in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance lease liabilities at September 30, 2019 of $68 million are included in Long term debt currently due, and Long term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments, and use the implicit rate when readily determinable. We determine our incremental borrowing rate through market sources including relevant industry rates. Our lease right-of-use assets also include any lease pre-payments and exclude lease incentives. Certain of our leases include variable payments, which may vary based upon changes in facts or circumstances after the start of the lease. We exclude variable payments from lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, to the extent not considered fixed, and instead, expense variable payments as incurred. Variable lease expense and lease expense for short duration contracts is not a material component of lease expense. Our leases generally have remaining lease terms of 1 to 20 years, some of which include options to extend leases. The majority of our leases with options to extend are up to 5 years with the ability to terminate the lease within 1 year. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion and our lease right-of-use assets and liabilities reflect only the options we are reasonably certain that we will exercise. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
In limited instances we act as a lessor, primarily for commercial aerospace engines and certain heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and commercial equipment, all of which are classified as operating leases. These leases are not significant to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet or Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Operating lease expense for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $194 million and $573 million, respectively.
Supplemental cash flow information related to operating leases was as follows:

Prior to the adoption of the New Lease Accounting Standard, rental commitments on an undiscounted basis were approximately $2.9 billion at December 31, 2018 under long-term non-cancelable operating leases and were payable as follows: $683 million in 2019, $544 million in 2020, $407 million in 2021, $301 million in 2022, $235 million in 2023 and $746 million thereafter.

Note 17: Segment Financial Data
Our operations are classified into four principal segments: Otis, Carrier, Pratt & Whitney, and Collins Aerospace Systems. The segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services.
Total sales by segment include inter-segment sales, which are generally made at prices approximating those that the selling entity is able to obtain on external sales. Results for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Note 18: Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. This ASU and its related amendments modifies the impairment model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of the incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets, long term receivables and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The amendment requires entities to consider a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current conditions and a reasonable forecast period, which may result in earlier recognition of certain losses. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU and its related amendments.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new standard removes the disclosure requirements for the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. This standard did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures. We early adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Subtopic 715-20): Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans. The new standard includes updates to the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans including several additions, deletions and modifications to the disclosure requirements. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract. The new standard provides updated guidance surrounding implementation costs associated with cloud computing

arrangements that are service contracts. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities. The amendments in this update for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest require reporting entities to consider indirect interests held through related parties under common control on a proportional basis rather than as the equivalent of a direct interest in its entirety (as currently required in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)). These amendments also will create alignment between determining whether a decision making fee is a variable interest and determining whether a reporting entity within a related party group is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. This will significantly reduce the risk that decision makers with insignificant direct and indirect interests could be deemed the primary beneficiary of a VIE. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-18, Collaborative Arrangements (Topic 808): Clarifying the Interaction between Topic 808 and Topic 606. The amendments in this update make targeted improvements to GAAP for collaborative arrangements as follows: clarify that certain transactions between collaborative arrangement participants should be accounted for as revenue under Topic 606 when the collaborative arrangement participant is a customer in the context of a unit of account. In those situations, all the guidance in Topic 606 should be applied, including recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements; add unit-of-account guidance in Topic 808 to align with the guidance in Topic 606 (that is, a distinct good or service) when an entity is assessing whether the collaborative arrangement or a part of the arrangement is within the scope of Topic 606; and require that in a transaction with a collaborative arrangement participant that is not directly related to sales to third parties, presenting the transaction together with revenue recognized under Topic 606 is precluded if the collaborative arrangement participant is not a customer. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of UTC for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated October 25, 2019, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.



Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareowners and Board of Directors of United Technologies Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information


We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2019, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income and of changes in equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 7, 2019, which included a paragraph describing a change in the manner of accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and net periodic benefit cost in the 2018 financial statements, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2018 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Otis and Carrier are referred to as the "commercial businesses," while Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace Systems are referred to as the "aerospace businesses."
The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2019 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the "Business Overview" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2018 Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference in our 2018 Form 10-K.
General
Our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic and political factors on both a regional and global level. Our operations include original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and extensive related aftermarket parts and services in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. Our business mix also reflects the combination of shorter cycles at Carrier and in our commercial aerospace spares businesses, and longer cycles at Otis and in our aerospace OEM and aftermarket maintenance businesses. Our customers are in the public and private sectors, and our businesses reflect an extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with continued globalization.
Our military businesses' sales are affected by U.S. Department of Defense budget and spending levels, changes in market demand and the global political environment. Total sales to the U.S. Government were $2.7 billion and $1.9 billion for the quarters ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 14% and 11% of total UTC sales for those periods, respectively. Our participation in long-term production, development and sustainment programs for the U.S. Government has and is expected to contribute positively to our results in 2019.
As has been previously disclosed, on November 26, 2018, the Company announced its intention to separate into three independent companies. Following the separations, the Company will operate as an aerospace company comprised of the Collins Aerospace Systems and Pratt & Whitney businesses, and Otis and Carrier will become independent companies. The proposed separations are expected to be effected through spin-offs of Otis and Carrier that are intended to be tax-free for the Company’s shareowners for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and are expected to be completed in the first half of 2020. Separation of Otis and Carrier from UTC via spin-off transactions will be subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including, among others, final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, receipt of tax rulings in certain jurisdictions and/or a tax opinion from external counsel (as applicable), the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and effectiveness of Form 10 registration statements, and satisfactory completion of financing (subject to UTC’s agreement to consummate the distributions pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Raytheon merger agreement). See Notes To Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 1 for additional information regarding the Raytheon transaction.
On June 9, 2019, UTC entered into a merger agreement with Raytheon Company (“Raytheon”) providing for an all-stock merger of equals transaction.  The Raytheon merger agreement provides, among other things, that each share of Raytheon common stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the closing of the Raytheon merger (except for shares held by Raytheon as treasury stock) will be converted into the right to receive 2.3348 shares of UTC common stock.  Upon the closing of the Raytheon merger, Raytheon will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC, and UTC will change its name to Raytheon Technologies Corporation. On October 11, 2019, the shareowners of UTC and Raytheon approved the proposals necessary to complete the Raytheon merger. The Raytheon merger is expected to close in the first half of 2020 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals, as well as the completion of UTC's previously announced separation of its Otis and Carrier businesses.
Acquisition Activity
Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions. Our operations and results can be affected by the rate and extent to which appropriate acquisition opportunities are available, acquired businesses are effectively integrated, and anticipated synergies or cost savings are achieved. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our investment in business acquisitions was $39 million, which consisted of small acquisitions at Otis.
Other
Government legislation, policies and regulations can have a negative impact on our worldwide operations. Government regulation of refrigerants and energy efficiency standards, elevator safety codes and fire protection regulations are important to

Table of Contents

our commercial businesses. Government and market-driven safety and performance regulations, restrictions on aircraft engine noise and emissions, and government procurement practices can impact our aerospace and defense businesses.
Global economic and political conditions, changes in raw material and commodity prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, energy costs, levels of end market demand in construction, levels of air travel, the financial condition of commercial airlines, and the impact from natural disasters and weather conditions create uncertainties that could impact our earnings outlook for the remainder of 2019. With regard to political conditions, the U.S. Government suspended Turkey’s participation in the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program because Turkey accepted delivery of the Russian-built S-400 air and missile defense system.  The U.S. has imposed, and may impose additional, sanctions on Turkey as a result of this or other political disputes.  Turkish companies supply components, some of which are sole-sourced, to our aerospace businesses for commercial and military engines and aerospace products.  Depending upon the scope and timing of U.S. sanctions on Turkey and potential reciprocal actions, if any, such sanctions or actions could impact our aerospace businesses’ sources of supply and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. See Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our 2018 Form 10-K for further discussion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2018 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2018 Form 10-K, describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates. There have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Net sales grew 5% organically during the quarter ended September 30, 2019. This increase reflects organic sales growth of 11% at Pratt & Whitney driven by higher sales across all channels; 7% organic sales growth at Collins Aerospace Systems, primarily driven by higher commercial aftermarket and military sales; and organic sales growth of 4% at Otis reflecting higher service sales across all regions and higher new equipment sales driven by growth in Asia. Carrier organic sales were consistent with the prior year as growth in commercial HVAC and Fire & Security products was offset by declines in both transport and commercial refrigeration. The 14% increase in Acquisitions and divestitures, net for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflects the impact of the November 26, 2018 acquisition of Rockwell Collins.
All four segments experienced organic sales growth for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Pratt & Whitney sales grew 11% organically, reflecting higher sales across all channels. Collins Aerospace Systems sales grew 9% organically, reflecting higher commercial and military sales. Organic sales growth of 5% at Otis reflects higher service sales across all regions and higher new equipment sales driven by growth in Asia. Organic sales growth of 2% at Carrier was driven by growth in global HVAC, Fire & Security, and transport refrigeration. The 14% increase in Acquisitions and divestitures, net for the

The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 reflects a 640 basis point improvement at Pratt & Whitney driven by the absence of a prior year customer contract settlement and favorable mix on large commercial engine shipments. Collins Aerospace Systems gross margin increased 340 basis points primarily driven by higher commercial aftermarket sales, the impact of the Rockwell Acquisition including the resulting synergies achieved, and cost reduction initiatives. Otis gross margin increased 60 basis points primarily driven by favorable pricing and mix in the Americas and China. Gross margin at Carrier was consistent with the prior year.
The increase in gross margin as a percentage of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by a 210 basis point increase at Pratt & Whitney driven by the absence of a prior year customer contract settlement and favorable mix on large commercial engine shipments. Collins Aerospace Systems gross margin increased 170 basis points primarily driven by the impact of the Rockwell Acquisition including the resulting synergies achieved, and an increase in commercial aftermarket sales and cost reduction initiatives. Otis gross margin increased 10 basis points primarily driven by favorable pricing and mix in the Americas and China. Gross margin at Carrier was down 20 basis points primarily driven by unfavorable mix and higher commodities, tariffs, and logistics costs.

Research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules and, therefore, year-over-year fluctuations in spending levels are expected. The majority of the company-funded spending is incurred by the aerospace businesses. The year-over-year increase (25%) in company-funded research and development for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by the impact of the Rockwell Acquisition (22%). The remaining increase primarily reflects higher expenses across various programs at Pratt & Whitney (3%) and Collins Aerospace Systems (2%), partially offset by lower expenses at Otis (2%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 company-funded research and development increased 27%, driven by the impact of the Rockwell Collins acquisition (22%). The remaining increase primarily reflects higher expenses across various programs at Pratt & Whitney (5%) and Collins Aerospace Systems (2%) partially offset by lower expenses at Otis (2%).
The increase (63%) in customer-funded research and development for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by the impact of the Rockwell Acquisition (62%). The remaining increase was driven by higher military development program expenses at Collins Aerospace Systems (3%), partially offset by lower research and development expenses on military development programs at Pratt & Whitney (2%). The increase (63%) in customer-funded research and development for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was also driven by the impact of the Rockwell Collins acquisition (63%). Lower research and development expenses on military development programs at Pratt & Whitney (3%), were offset by higher expenses at Collins Aerospace Systems (3%).

Interest expense, net increased 55% and 65% for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in interest expense primarily reflects interest on debt acquired from the Rockwell Collins acquisition and the impact of the August 16, 2018 issuance of notes representing $11 billion in aggregate principal. The average maturity of our long-term debt at September 30, 2019 is approximately 10 years. The decrease in interest income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 primarily reflects prior year interest earned on higher cash balances accumulated in anticipation of the Rockwell Collins acquisition. The increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily driven by interest income related to tax settlements.

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 is primarily the result of tax charges connected to the Company’s portfolio separation transactions and the non-deductible impact related to the impairment of an investment at Carrier.
The increase in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is principally related to the items described above offset in part by gains associated with the conclusion of the audit by the Examination Division of the Internal Revenue Service for the UTC 2014, 2015, and 2016 tax years and the filing by a subsidiary of the Company to participate in an amnesty program offered by the Italian Tax Authority in the second quarter of 2019.
The Company will continue to review and incorporate as necessary TCJA changes related to forthcoming U.S. Treasury Regulations, other updates, and the finalization of the deemed inclusions to be reported on the Company’s 2018 U.S. federal income tax return.
As shown in the table above, the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is 29.6%; the effective income tax rate for the same period, excluding restructuring, non-operational nonrecurring items is 23.5%. The full year rate is still subject to change as guidance and interpretations related to the TCJA continue to be finalized. The Company expects to continue to incur tax costs associated with the ongoing separation of its commercial businesses which is expected to be complete in the first half of 2020.

Restructuring actions are an essential component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to existing and recently acquired operations. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations and costs to exit legacy programs. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions.
2019 Actions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $158 million relating to ongoing cost reduction actions initiated in 2019. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of $266 million to complete these actions. We are targeting to complete in 2019 and 2020 the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2019. We expect recurring pre-tax savings in continuing operations to increase to approximately $358 million annually over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions. Approximately 93% of the total expected pre-tax charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had cash outflows of approximately $89 million related to the 2019 actions.
2018 Actions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $44 million and $97 million, respectively, for actions initiated in 2018. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of $8 million to complete these actions. We are targeting to complete in 2019 the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2018. We expect recurring pre-tax savings in continuing operations to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $260 million annually, of which, approximately $140 million was realized during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Approximately 93% of the total expected pre-tax charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had cash outflows of approximately $126 million related to the 2018 actions.
In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $42 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2017 and prior. For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Segment Review
Segments are generally based on the management structure of the businesses and the grouping of similar operating companies, where each management organization has general operating autonomy over diversified products and services. Adjustments to reconcile segment reporting to the consolidated results for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are included in "Eliminations and other", which also includes certain smaller subsidiaries. We attempt to quantify material factors within our discussion of the results of each segment whenever those factors are determinable. However, in some instances, the factors we cite within our segment discussion are based upon input measures or qualitative information that does not lend itself to quantification when discussed in the context of the financial results measured on an output basis and are not, therefore, quantified in the below discussions.
Commercial Businesses
Our commercial businesses generally serve customers in the worldwide commercial and residential property industries, and Carrier also serves customers in the commercial and transport refrigeration industries. Sales in the commercial businesses are influenced by a number of external factors, including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, credit markets and other global and political factors. Carrier's financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment and, in the case of its residential business, weather conditions. To ensure adequate supply of products in the distribution channel, Carrier customarily offers its customers incentives to purchase products. The principal incentive program provides reimbursements to distributors for offering promotional pricing on Carrier products. We account for incentive payments made as a reduction to sales.
At constant currency and excluding the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, Carrier equipment orders in the quarter ended September 30, 2019 decreased 11% in comparison to the same period of the prior year, driven by decreases in transport refrigeration (68%), commercial refrigeration (5%), and Fire and Security products (2%), partially offset by increased commercial HVAC (6%) and North America residential HVAC equipment (4%) orders. At constant currency, Otis new equipment orders in the quarter increased 6% in comparison to the prior year led by increases in the Americas (10%), Asia excluding China (6%) and China (5%).

The organic sales increase of 4% primarily reflects higher service sales (3%), driven by broad-based growth across geographies; and higher new equipment sales (1%) driven by growth in Asia (2%), partially offset by declines in other regions (combined, 1%).
The operational profit increase of 6% was driven by:
•
favorable price and mix (8%)
•
margin contribution from the higher sales volumes noted above (5%)
These increases were partially offset by:
•
higher selling, general and administrative expenses (5%)

Organic sales were consistent with the prior year as growth in commercial HVAC and Fire & Security products (1%, combined) was offset by declines in both transport and commercial refrigeration (1%, combined).
Operational profit increased 1% as the impact of favorable pricing (5%), lower selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs (2%, combined), favorable material productivity, net of the impact of tariffs (1%) and higher joint venture income (1%) were largely offset by lower volume and unfavorable mix (6%) and the absence of a favorable prior year contract adjustment related to a large commercial project (3%).
The 17% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects the impairment of an investment (13%) and the unfavorable impact of a contract termination (4%).

The organic sales increase of 2% was primarily driven by growth in commercial and residential HVAC (1%, combined), and increases in global Fire & Security and transport refrigeration (1%, combined).
Operational profit decreased 1% in comparison to the prior year as favorable pricing (5%) was more than offset by unfavorable commodities, tariffs and labor productivity (3%, combined), unfavorable mix, net of higher volume (2%), and the absence of a favorable prior year contract adjustment related to a large commercial project (1%).
The 29% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects the absence of the prior year gain on the sale of Taylor Company (26%) and a current-year impairment of an investment (4%).


Aerospace Businesses
The aerospace businesses serve both commercial and government aerospace customers. Revenue passenger miles (RPMs), U.S. Government military and space spending, and the general economic health of airline carriers are all barometers for our aerospace businesses. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits.
We continue to see growth in a strong commercial airline industry which is benefiting from traffic growth and lower fuel costs. Airline traffic, as measured by RPMs, grew approximately 5% in the first eight months of 2019.
Our commercial aftermarket businesses continue to evolve as a significant portion of our aerospace businesses' customers are covered under long-term aftermarket service agreements at Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace Systems. These agreements are comprehensive long-term spare part and service agreements with our customers. We expect a continued shift to long-term aftermarket service agreements in lieu of transactional spare part sales as new aerospace products enter our customers' fleets under long-term service agreements and legacy fleets are retired. For the first nine months of 2019, as compared with 2018, total commercial aerospace aftermarket sales increased 72% at Collins Aerospace Systems (up 15% excluding the impact of the Rockwell Collins acquisition) and 3% at Pratt & Whitney.

* For Pratt & Whitney only, the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at Pratt & Whitney Canada has been netted against the translational foreign exchange impact for presentation purposes in the table above. For all other segments these foreign exchange transactional impacts are included within the organic/operational caption in their respective tables. Due to its significance to Pratt & Whitney's overall operating results, we believe it is useful to segregate the foreign exchange transactional impact in order to clearly identify the underlying financial performance.

The organic sales growth of 11% primarily reflects higher military sales (4%), higher commercial OEM sales (3%), and higher commercial aftermarket sales (3%).

The operational profit increase of 60% was primarily driven by:
•
higher commercial OEM margin contribution (118%) primarily driven by favorable mix on large commercial engine shipments and continued year-over-year cost reduction

Table of Contents

•
higher military margin contribution (17%) driven by the sales increase noted above
These increases were partially offset by:
•
lower commercial aftermarket margin contribution (31%) as unfavorable mix and net unfavorable contract adjustments more than offset margin contribution from the higher volumes noted above
•
higher selling, general and administrative expenses and other ramp-related costs (25%)
•
higher research and development costs (18%)
The 283% increase in "Other" primarily reflects the absence of a prior year customer contract settlement.

Eliminations and other reflects the elimination of sales, other income and operating profit transacted between segments, as well as the operating results of certain smaller businesses. The year-over-year increase in sales eliminations for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the same periods of 2018, reflects an increase in the amount of inter-segment eliminations, principally between our aerospace businesses. The decrease in operating profits related to Eliminations and other for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by costs associated with the Company's intention to separate its commercial businesses as well as costs associated with the Raytheon merger. The decrease in operating profits related to Eliminations and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 is primarily driven by costs associated with the Company's intention to separate its commercial businesses, costs associated with the Raytheon merger, and the absence of the favorable impact of prior year insurance settlements.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows. For 2019, we expect cash flows from operations, net of capital expenditures, to approximate $5.3 billion to $5.7 billion, including $1.0 billion of one-time cash payments related to the portfolio separation. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, access to the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, redemptions of debt, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.
At September 30, 2019, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7.3 billion, of which approximately 80% was held by UTC's foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The Company no longer intends to reinvest certain undistributed earnings of its international subsidiaries that have been previously taxed in the U.S. As such, in the fourth quarter of 2018, it has recorded the taxes therewith. For the remainder of the Company’s undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, UTC will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings. We have repatriated approximately $1.2 billion of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions, divestitures or other legal obligations. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $40 million and $60 million, respectively.
Historically, our strong debt ratings and financial position have enabled us to issue long-term debt at favorable market rates. Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing debt-to-total-capitalization level as well as our credit standing. Our debt-to-total capitalization increased in 2018 which reflected additional borrowings used to finance the acquisition of Rockwell Collins as well as the acquisition of Rockwell Collins' outstanding debt. Our debt-to-total-capitalization of 51% at September 30, 2019 is down 200 basis points from December 31, 2018 and down 300 basis points from September 30, 2018.
At September 30, 2019, we had credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $10.35 billion, including: a $2.20 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2.15 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in August 2021; and a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and a $4.0 billion term credit agreement, both of which we entered into on March 15, 2019 and which will expire on March 15, 2021 or, if earlier, the date that is 180 days after the date on which each of the separations of Otis and Carrier have been consummated. As of September 30, 2019, there were no borrowings under any of these agreements. The undrawn portions of these revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper.
As of September 30, 2019, our maximum commercial paper borrowing limit was $6.35 billion. Commercial paper borrowings at September 30, 2019 include approximately €750 million ($824 million) of euro-denominated commercial paper. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions, pension contributions, debt refinancing, dividend payments and repurchases of our common stock. The need for commercial paper borrowings arises when the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.

We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Further, we continue to have access to the commercial paper markets and our existing credit facilities, and our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, as well as the availability under committed credit lines, provides additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required or appropriate.

Cash generated from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was $1,784 million higher than the same period in 2018. Net income from operations, when adjusted for the non-operating gain on the sale of Taylor Company in the prior year ($799 million) and the current year non-cash tax charges associated with the Company’s portfolio separation transactions ($618 million), drove an increase of $1.4 billion. Cash outflows from working capital improved $72 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 over the prior period. Reduced factoring activity resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.2 billion in cash flows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to the prior year. This decline in factoring activity was primarily driven by Pratt & Whitney partially offset by increased factoring a

t Collins Aerospace Systems. Factoring activity does not reflect the factoring of certain receivables performed at customer request for which we are compensated by the customer for the extended collection cycle.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, cash outflows from working capital were $571 million. Inventory increased $1.5 billion to support higher sales volume at Collins Aerospace Systems, the Geared Turbo Fan at Pratt & Whitney, and build in HVAC at Carrier. Contract assets, current increased $499 million due to work performed in excess of billings at Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace. Other current assets increased $111 million due to increases in prepaid expenses at Pratt & Whitney. These outflows were partially offset by increases in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.1 billion, Contract liabilities, current of $394 million and decreases in Accounts receivable of $59 million. Accounts payable increased at Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace Systems primarily as a result of inventory build. The increase in Accrued liabilities was driven by an increase in accrued interest on debt and various accruals at Collins Aerospace Systems and Pratt & Whitney. The increase in Contract liabilities, current was driven by timing of billings at Otis and higher advanced billings at Collins Aerospace Systems.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2018, cash outflows from working capital were $643 million, excluding the adoption impact of the New Revenue Standard. Accounts receivable increased $2.4 billion due to an increase in sales volume. Contract assets, current increased $892 million due to costs in excess of billings primarily at Pratt & Whitney driven by military engines, at Otis due to progress on major projects, and at Carrier. Inventory increased $991 million primarily driven by an increase in production work in process for the Geared Turbo Fan at Pratt & Whitney, seasonal build in the Residential & Commercial HVAC businesses at Carrier, and increases at Collins Aerospace Systems. These increases were partially offset by decreases in Other assets of $262 million primarily driven by a reduction in prepaid taxes, increases in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of approximately $3.0 billion, driven by higher inventory purchasing activity and customer advances at Pratt & Whitney, higher direct material purchases at Collins Aerospace Systems, and an increase in accrued interest, as well as an increase in Contract liabilities, current of $313 million driven by progress payments on major contracts and advanced billings at Otis.
The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets, the level of market interest rates and actuarial mortality assumptions. We can contribute cash or UTC shares to our plans at our discretion, subject to applicable regulations. Total cash contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were approximately $89 million and $72 million, respectively. Although our domestic pension plans are approximately 97% funded on a projected benefit obligation basis as of September 30, 2019, and we are not required to make additional contributions through the end of 2024, we may elect to make discretionary contributions in 2019. We expect to make total contributions of approximately $125 million to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2019, including $25 million to our domestic pension plans. Contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2019 are expected to meet or exceed the current funding requirements.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 primarily reflect capital expenditures, cash investments in customer financing assets, investments/dispositions of businesses, payments related to our collaboration intangible assets and contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, and settlements of derivative contracts. The $954 million increase in cash flows used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to September 30, 2018 primarily relates to the absence of $1 billion in proceeds from the sale of Taylor Company in June 2018 by Carrier.
Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $1,359 million primarily relate to several projects at Collins Aerospace Systems and investments in production and aftermarket capacity at Pratt & Whitney.
Cash investments in businesses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $39 million consisted of small acquisitions at Otis. Dispositions of businesses in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $134 million primarily consisted of the businesses held for sale associated with the Rockwell Acquisition.
Customer financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 were a net use of cash of $444 million, primarily driven by additional Geared Turbofan engines to support customer fleets. We may also arrange for third parties to assume a portion of our commitments. We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately $15.7 billion at September 30, 2019 related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, of which up to $0.2 billion may be required to be disbursed during the remainder of 2019.

We had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately $15.5 billion at December 31, 2018.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, our collaboration intangible assets increased by approximately $259 million, which primarily relates to payments made under our 2012 agreement to acquire Rolls-Royce's collaboration interest in IAE.
As discussed in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes only, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of the FASB ASC and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price exposures. The settlement of these derivative instruments resulted in a net cash inflow of approximately $158 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a net cash inflow of $71 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our financing activities primarily include the issuance and repayment of short-term and long-term debt, payment of dividends and stock repurchases. Financing activities was a cash outflow of $2.9 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to a cash inflow of $10.8 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. This change is driven by the absence of $13.4 billion of long-term debt issuances in the prior year which was primarily utilized to fund the Rockwell Acquisition, a decrease in short-term borrowings of $1.3 billion, and an increase in dividends paid on common stock of $0.2 billion, partially offset by a reduction in long-term debt repayments of $1.4 billion.
Commercial paper borrowings and revolving credit facilities provide short-term liquidity to supplement operating cash flows and are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our stock. We had approximately $984 million of outstanding commercial paper at September 30, 2019.
At September 30, 2019, management had remaining authority to repurchase approximately $1.9 billion of our common stock under the October 14, 2015 share repurchase program. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs, and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock and as required under our employee savings plan. Our ability to repurchase shares is subject to applicable law, including restrictions arising from the pending merger transaction with Raytheon. We made cash payments of approximately $111 million to repurchase approximately 857 thousand shares of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
We paid dividends on common stock of $0.735 per share, totaling approximately $1,830 million in the aggregate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. On October 10, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.735 per share payable December 10, 2019 to shareowners of record at the close of business on November 15, 2019.
On September 27, 2019 we filed a universal shelf registration statement with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under the shelf registration statement.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
In our 2018 Annual Report, incorporated by reference in our 2018 Form 10-K, we disclosed our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. As of September 30, 2019, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business.
Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4.
Controls and Procedures
As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and the Corporate Vice President, Controller (Controller), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2019. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, our CFO and our Controller have concluded that, as of September 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, our CFO and our Controller, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
Federal Securities Laws Litigation
On January 2, 2018, a purported shareowner filed a second amended complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "District Court") under the federal securities laws against the Company and certain of its current and former executives (Frankfurt-Trust Investment Luxemburg AG v. United Technologies Corporation et al.), which further amends a previously disclosed complaint that was filed on May 10, 2017. In the second amended complaint, the plaintiff purports to represent a class of shareowners who purchased the Company’s stock between December 11, 2014 and July 20, 2015. The second amended complaint alleges violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, related to alleged false and misleading statements and omissions of material fact made in connection with the Company’s 2015 earnings expectations. On September 28, 2018, the District Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the case in its entirety. On October 25, 2018, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (the "Court of Appeals").
