Dear Fellow Shareowner:
When I joined Honeywell in India nearly 35 years ago, I never imagined that one day I would lead this
iconic global company. After a journey that included living and working in seven cities across three
continents, from Pune to London to Charlotte, it has been my honor to work side-by-side with so many
great teams and customers. It has given me a vital perspective on our end users’ needs and the role
Honeywell plays in improving the everyday lives of people around the world. Whether it is our cockpit
technology enabling a plane to land safely and on time, or one of our building innovations keeping
employees secure and comfortable, what we do truly matters to everyone.
Working at Honeywell has never felt like a job to me, largely because of my passion for serving our
customers and strengthening our business. I am incredibly excited about the opportunities ahead of us,
helping customers navigate complex challenges and pursuing new growth avenues that can underpin
enhanced shareowner value.
Before reflecting on our results and progress over the past year, I want to thank my predecessors,
outgoing Executive Chairman Darius Adamczyk and former Chairman and CEO David Cote. Over the
course of more than two decades, their leadership and vision shaped our portfolio of businesses,
transforming Honeywell into the integrated operating company we are today. They solidified a culture of
accountability and operational rigor that enabled us to deliver approximately 800% in total shareholder
returns since the beginning of 2005. I am committed to carrying the torch forward.
REFLECTIONS ON HONEYWELL PERFORMANCE AND GROWTH
We were able to meet or exceed our commitments to the market in 2023, despite the challenging
operating environment. Our full-year sales increased 3%, or 4% on an organic basis, while segment
profit grew 8%, with segment margin expansion of 100 basis points. Our adjusted earnings per share
totaled $9.16, and we exited the year with our backlog at a record $31.8 billion, 8% higher than the
year prior. Demand across much of our portfolio remains robust, with backlog growth supporting our
long-cycle businesses into 2024, while recovery of our shorter-cycle ones will help accelerate our
financial performance as the year unfolds.
Our goal is clear: keep our high-performance journey going. I have reaffirmed our long-term financial
algorithm, which translates into achieving 8% to 12% adjusted earnings growth on an annualized basis.
In October, we announced the simplification of Honeywell's operating structure to focus on three
powerful megatrends:
As we enter the next phase of our transformation aligned to these compelling megatrends, we will
accelerate organic growth, optimize our portfolio through strategic capital deployment and ultimately
unlock greater shareowner value.
THE NEXT PHASE OF HONEYWELL’S TRANSFORMATION
Moving forward, I am committed to driving Honeywell toward higher organic growth, with aspirations to
deliver the upper end of our long-term framework of 4% to 7% organic growth. Despite the turbulent
operating environment of the last four years, we have delivered strong earnings growth and maintained
a clear focus that will enhance our performance.
Building upon our megatrend alignment, I believe our ability to achieve the upper end of our organic
growth objective will be driven by our focus on three specific areas:
Working alongside my leadership team, I spend a substantial amount of time on driving organic growth.
To further support our objectives, this past year we pivoted our operating system to have a higher bias
toward accretive, growth-related initiatives. Beginning in 2024, organic growth will be added as a
component of calculating our annual Incentive Compensation Plan funding and rewards for all
Honeywell executives.
In 2023, we progressed on our commitment to deploy at least $25 billion toward acquisitions, dividends,
capital expenditures and share buybacks through 2025. We maintained a disciplined approach to
strategic M&A with a focus on bolt-on acquisitions that support our long-term strategy aligning to our
megatrends. Notably, we announced an agreement to acquire Carrier’s Global Access Solutions
business for $4.95 billion, which will create a Security technology business at scale alongside our
leading Fire and Building Management Systems franchises within Building Automation. We also
opportunistically repurchased $3.7 billion of our shares, which we believe will deliver a strong return for
our shareowners. As we continue to pursue new growth avenues, we will always be a disciplined
steward of shareowners’ capital, continuing to prioritize the right financial outcomes through deals that
enable us to upgrade our portfolio to deliver superior results.
Last year, we announced the next phase of Accelerator, version 3.0 of Honeywell's robust operating
system. This was an important step toward standardizing our organization across our four main
business models - products, aftermarket services, projects and software - and facilitating knowledge
transfers of best practices to drive incremental growth, margin expansion and enhanced cash
generation. Additionally, we are completing the buildout of our full suite of IT platforms covering all
different aspects of the value chain and implementing digital threads to provide valuable data that will
improve our business performance. We are far from done: 2024 will be another year of significant
transformation and this foundation will enable Honeywell to deliver greater profitable growth and cash.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE UPDATES
Honeywell has a multi-decade history of developing innovative products and solutions that enable
customers to meet their environmental, social and governance goals. In 2019, we set three ambitious
sustainability goals, and we exceeded all this year:
We also expanded our Board with the addition of Mike Lamach, former CEO of Trane Technologies, as
an Independent Director, while Bill Ayer, former Chair and CEO of Alaska Airlines, will become
Independent Lead Director, effective May 2024. Our highly diverse and experienced Board of Directors,
which includes eight current and former CEOs among our 10 independent directors, continues to
provide support and oversight.
OUR FUTURE
I am incredibly optimistic about Honeywell’s future. Even as the near-term economic backdrop remains
challenging, I know that we have the right strategy in place to deliver superior results for shareowners.
As I take on the additional role of Chairman in June, I want to thank the Honeywell Board of Directors
for their confidence in me. I look forward to all that is ahead -- leading our global team of 95,000
Futureshapers to provide immense value to our customers, delivering strong financial returns to our
shareowners and ultimately making a difference in our communities around the world.
In closing, I do not want to miss the opportunity to thank you all for your confidence in and ownership of
Honeywell.
Sincerely,
VIMAL KAPUR
Chief Executive Officer
Dear Shareowner:
As I write my very last letter to you, I want to reflect back on some of the milestones we achieved as an
organization and the progress we made in digitizing and simplifying Honeywell during my tenure as
CEO. One of the most important things to me personally is that my “say” matches my “do” so you will
recall that I set four objectives for the company at the outset:
*Excludes 2020
ENHANCING GROWTH & EXPANDING MARGINS
As a result of the overachievement of these objectives, which many thought were not achievable, we
more than doubled our stock price during my tenure.
As we transformed over the years, one area I am particularly proud of is that in 2022 we actually
increased our financial algorithm from 3% to 5% growth to 4% to 7% and from 30-50 basis points of
margin expansion to 40-60 basis points. Based on the first two years of performance post-new
commitment, we are very much on track to meet or exceed these objectives. The reason we were able
to commit to the new targets is due to the transformation we achieved at Honeywell.
Although the financial achievements are clear, what I believe is still most underappreciated about
Honeywell is the transformation of the company that occurred from 2016 to today. Over the last seven
years, we created triple-digit shareholder returns and $50 billion in market value, which is a
testament to the underlying strength of our business.
Today, we are a more resilient business with an operating model built to deliver in any market condition.
From my perspective, one of the key reasons to own Honeywell (and there are many) is that markets
like aerospace may be up and others like warehouse automation may be down, yet in all markets, we
will continue to improve our company and deliver value for all of our stakeholders. Trying to “time” an
investment in Honeywell is pointless as you will always obtain top performance in good and bad cycles.
DIGITIZING INDUSTRIAL SOFTWARE
The digitalization effort that has occurred internally at Honeywell has transformed and vastly improved
how we operate our business. The days of anecdotal and gut-fed decision making are over. We now
operate based on financial and operational data sets that are collected and neatly organized by
function, market or value stream. Although many may point to the reduction of our enterprise resource
planning (ERP) systems, applications and websites as transformational, it is actually our data and
information strategy that enables the greatest degree of sophistication in operating Honeywell.
In addition to our Honeywell Accelerator operating system, our commitment to digitalization has also
underpinned the creation of our multi-billion-dollar software platform called Honeywell Connected
Enterprise. We launched it in 2018 to provide our customers with access to Honeywell Forge, our
cutting-edge, industry-changing software solutions that enable them on the path toward their digital
transformation. Since its inception, Honeywell Connected Enterprise has delivered double-digit growth
every year – underscoring the growing demand for industrial digitalization solutions.
TRANSFORMING OUR INTEGRATED SUPPLY CHAIN
Over the last several years, we have also transformed our supply chain, which is now fully digitized in
its operation and also greatly simplified. At the same time, we have de-risked by reducing our footprint
to roughly 150 facilities from more than 300. Throughout Honeywell, we have also begun to leverage
new united data infrastructure systems to connect our various enterprise systems – including ERP
systems, logistics systems and transport management systems – in order to automate decision-making
processes across the supply chain and streamline our existing IT budget.
As a result, and as an example of our capability, we have created a repository of data assets that now
enables us to constantly have a clear picture of our inventory levels for any given SKU across our entire
supply chain universe.
INNOVATING FOR THE FUTURE
Across our business, we have also pushed for leading-edge innovation to keep Honeywell at the
forefront of some of the most powerful megatrends in the world. As you may have noticed, my
successor smoothly reorganized Honeywell around these megatrends and end markets.
I will point to three examples although there are countless more:
*The $10 billion in wins represents Honeywell's assessment of the lifetime value of awards using an internal forecast of the
number of AAM vehicles the company expects to be built.
Honeywell’s continued innovation, combined with our operational digital transformation, positions our
business to lead in the industrial innovation segment for decades to come.
As I wrap up and now fully hand the baton to my successor, Vimal Kapur, I am highly confident he will
take Honeywell to the next level of performance. He has been successful in every business he has run
and will achieve the same in running Honeywell as we enter the most exciting phase of our
transformation. From Break/Fix in the Dave Cote era to Digitize/Simplify during my tenure to Innovate/
Grow under Vimal, you as a shareowner should rest assured that our best days are still ahead of us.
Thank you for your trust in Honeywell,
DARIUS ADAMCZYK
Executive Chairman
Forward Looking Statements
We describe many of the trends and other factors that drive our business and future results in this document. Such discussions
contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events, or developments that management intends,
expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management’s assumptions and
assessments in light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments and
other relevant factors, many of which are difficult to predict and outside of our control. They are not guarantees of future
performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ significantly from those envisaged by our
forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements, except as required by
applicable securities law. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to material risks and uncertainties, including ongoing
macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, such as lower GDP growth or recession, capital markets volatility, inflation, and certain
regional conflicts, that can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. In addition, no assurance can be given that any
plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this presentation can or will be achieved. These
forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the information included in this presentation, our Form 10-K and other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking plans described herein are not final and may be

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This publication contains financial measures presented on a non-GAAP basis. Honeywell’s non-GAAP financial measures used in
this release are as follows:
• Segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis;
• Segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis;
• Organic sales growth;
• Adjusted earnings per share
The following information provides definitions and reconciliations of certain non-GAAP financial measures presented in the
Shareowners Letters to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and
presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and
management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These measures should be
considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain metrics presented on a non-
GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a
case-by-case basis. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these
measures for comparative purposes.
Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in
accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses
and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to
inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or
included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP
financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate
Honeywell’s business.

Includes repositioning, asbestos, environmental expenses, equity income adjustment, and other charges. For the twelve months ended
December 31, 2022, other charges include an expense of $250 million related to reserves against outstanding accounts receivables, contract
assets, and inventory, as well as the write-down of other assets and employee severance related to the initial suspension and wind down of
our businesses and operations in Russia. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, other charges include $41 million and
$105 million, respectively, of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the
COVID-19 pandemic) relating to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions segment. These costs
include incurred amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’
long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These certain costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supplier
delays and the resulting downstream installation issues, demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor
disputes.

We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other
postretirement service costs, and repositioning and other charges. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment
profit divided by net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in
analysis of ongoing operating trends.

Adjusted earnings per share utilized weighted average shares of 668.2 million in 2023.
Pension mark-to-market expense used a blended tax rate of 18%, net of tax benefit of $27 million, for 2023.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $8 million, net of tax benefit of $3 million, due to the net expense
related to the NARCO Buyout and HWI Sale.
Bendix Friction Materials (“Bendix”) is a business no longer owned by the Company. In 2023, the Company changed its valuation methodology
for calculating legacy Bendix liabilities. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustment was $330 million, net of tax benefit of
$104 million, (or $434 million pre-tax) due to a change in the estimated liability for resolution of asserted (claims filed as of the financial
statement date) and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. The Company experienced fluctuations in average resolution values year-
over-year in each of the past five years with no well-established trends in either direction. In 2023, the Company observed two consecutive
years of increasing average resolution values (2023 and 2022), with more volatility in the earlier years of the five-year period (2019 through
2021). Based on these observations, the Company, during its annual review in the fourth quarter of 2023, reevaluated its valuation
methodology and elected to give more weight to the two most recent years by shortening the look-back period from five years to two years
(2023 and 2022). The Company believes that the average resolution values in the last two consecutive years are likely more representative of
expected resolution values in future periods. The $434 million pre-tax amount is attributable primarily to shortening the look-back period to the
two most recent years, and to a lesser extent to increasing expected resolution values for a subset of asserted claims to adjust for higher claim
values in that subset than in the modelled two-year data set. It is not possible to predict whether such resolution values will increase,
decrease, or stabilize in the future, given recent litigation trends within the tort system and the inherent uncertainty in predicting the outcome of
such trends. The Company will continue to monitor Bendix claim resolution values and other trends within the tort system to assess the
appropriate look-back period for determining average resolution values going forward.
We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We believe adjusted
earnings per share is useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We describe many of the trends and other factors that drive our business and future results in the section titled Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in other parts of this report (including under the
section titled Risk Factors). Such discussions contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Forward-looking statements are those that address activities,
events, or developments that management intends, expects, projects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They
are based on management’s assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry
conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors, many of which are difficult to predict and outside of our
control. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments, and business decisions may differ
significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update or revise any of our forward-
looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to material
risks and uncertainties, including ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, such as lower GDP growth or recession, capital
markets volatility, inflation, and certain regional conflicts, that can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. In
addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Leveraging our Honeywell Accelerator operating model, we delivered strong performance in 2023, remaining focused on creating
long-term shareholder value. In 2023, we delivered sales growth of 3%, to $36.7 billion, led by strong demand in our Commercial
Aviation, Defense and Space, and Process Solutions businesses, and sales growth in three of our four reportable business
segments.
In 2023, we announced the next phase of Accelerator, version 3.0 of Honeywell's robust operating system, taking an important step
toward standardizing our organization end-to-end across our four main business models - products, aftermarket services, projects,
and software - and facilitating knowledge transfer of best practices to drive incremental growth, margin expansion, and cash
generation. We are completing the buildout of our full suite of information technology (IT) platforms covering all different aspects of
the value chain, and implementing digital threads to provide valuable data that will improve our business performance. Over the
last six years, the efforts of the “Great Integration” of Honeywell transformed the organization into an integrated operating company,
deploying world-class capabilities and multiple growth enablers that benefit each strategic business group.
We are focused on aligning our businesses with three distinct megatrends (automation, future of aviation, and energy transition), all
underpinned by digitization. During the year, we deployed $8.3 billion to capital expenditures, dividends, share repurchases, and
mergers and acquisitions. We opportunistically repurchased shares to maintain our commitment to reduce share count by at least
1% per year, and increased our dividend for the fourteenth time in the last thirteen years. Our mergers and acquisition activities
focused on key acquisitions to align with our megatrends. We announced three acquisitions - our acquisitions of Compressor
Controls Corporation and SCADAfence, as well as our agreement to acquire Carrier Global Corporation’s Global Access Solutions
business.
As we look forward, we intend to continue deploying capital to high-return opportunities. We continue to carry a robust backlog of
$31.8 billion as of December 31, 2023, that provides a strong foundation for future and sustained capital deployment to accelerate
growth.

Information related to risks associated with our foreign operations is included in the section titled Risk Factors under the caption
“Macroeconomic and Industry Risks.”
RAW MATERIALS
The vast majority of principal raw materials used in our operations are readily available; however, during 2023, we continued to
experience supply chain constraints for certain raw materials. We maintain mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of disruptions,
including digital solutions to assist in identifying and managing shortages, pricing actions, longer term planning for constrained
materials, material supply tracking tools, and direct engagement with key suppliers to meet customer demand. We assist certain
suppliers facing manufacturing challenges by committing our own resources to their sites and facilities. Our relationships with
primary and secondary suppliers allow us to reliably source key components and raw materials. Where we cannot procure key
components or raw materials, we consider altering existing products and developing new products to satisfy customer needs.
Alterations to existing products and the development of new products undergo product quality controls and engineering
qualification, prior to releasing to our customers. We continue to leverage existing supplier relationships and are not dependent on
any one supplier for a material amount of our raw materials. We believe these mitigation strategies enable us to reduce supply risk,
accelerate new product innovation, and expand our penetration in the markets we serve. Additionally, due to the strenuous quality
controls and product qualification we perform on a new or altered product, we do not expect these mitigation strategies to impact
product quality or reliability.
Prices of certain key raw materials are expected to moderate. We offset raw material cost increases with formula-driven or long-
term supply agreements, price increases, and hedging activities where feasible. We anticipate supply chain constraints for certain
raw materials will continue into 2024; however, we believe our short-term and long-term mitigation strategies position us well to
mitigate and reduce the impact these factors may have on our businesses. As such, we do not presently anticipate that a shortage
of raw materials will cause any material adverse impacts during 2024.
See the section titled Risk Factors for additional information on supply chain constraints.
PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, AND DISTRIBUTION RIGHTS
Our reportable business segments are not dependent upon any single patent or related group of patents, trademarks, or any
licenses or distribution rights. In our judgment, our intellectual property rights are adequate for the conduct of our business. We
believe that, in the aggregate, the rights under our patents, trademarks, licenses, and distribution rights are generally important to
our operations, but we do not consider any individual patent, trademark, or any licensing or distribution rights related to a specific
process or product to be of material importance in relation to our total business.

REGULATIONS
Our operations are subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government regulations, including requirements regarding
the protection of human health and the environment. We design our policies, practices, and procedures to prevent unreasonable
risk of environmental damage, and of resulting financial liability, in connection with our business. Some risk of environmental
damage is, however, inherent in some of our operations and products, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses.
We engage in the handling, manufacturing, use, and disposal of many substances classified as hazardous by one or more
regulatory agencies. We design policies, practices, and procedures to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and
personal injury, and to ensure that our handling, manufacture, use, and disposal of these substances meet or exceed
environmental and safety laws and regulations. It is possible that future knowledge or other developments, such as improved
capability to detect substances in the environment or increasingly strict environmental laws and standards and enforcement
policies, could bring into question our current or past handling, manufacture, use, or disposal of these substances.
Among other environmental requirements, we are subject to the Federal Superfund and similar state and foreign laws and
regulations, under which we have been designated as a potentially responsible party that may be liable for cleanup costs
associated with current and former operating sites and various hazardous waste sites, some of which are on the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency’s National Priority List. While there is a possibility that a responsible party might be unable to
obtain appropriate contribution from other responsible parties, we do not anticipate having to bear significantly more than our
proportional share in multi-party situations taken as a whole.
We do not believe that federal, state, and local provisions regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment, or any existing or pending climate change legislation, regulation, or international
treaties or accords are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect in the foreseeable future on our business and we will
continue to monitor emerging developments in this area.
Beyond our compliance requirements with environmental regulations, compliance with other government regulations has not had,
and based on laws and regulations currently in effect, is not expected to have a material effect on our capital expenditures,
earnings, or competitive position. See the section titled Risk Factors for additional information on government regulation that could
impact our business.

SUSTAINABILITY COMMITMENTS
Our commitment to being environmentally responsible is reflected in the extensive work we do to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions, increase energy efficiency, conserve water, minimize waste, manage air emissions, and drive efficiency throughout our
operations. Our operating system – which drives sustainable improvements and the elimination of waste in our manufacturing
operations – is a critical component in how we approach environmental stewardship within Honeywell.
We commit resources each year to projects that support these objectives:
•
Energy Efficiency Improvements. We continue to implement sustainability projects at our facilities, including building
automation and controls, lighting, compressed air and gas systems, mechanical upgrades, and renewable energy. Our
largest sites are required to identify their significant energy use in line with ISO 50001, obtain an energy audit on an
established cycle, train personnel on energy management, and track identified projects via our standard database. This
ensures a robust pipeline of both low-cost and capital projects that can be considered for execution.
• Managing Air Emissions. We manage air emissions in accordance with all regulatory requirements while also seeking to
minimize our environmental impact. All of our manufacturing locations are required to meet the requirements of our Air
Emissions procedure that is part of the Health, Safety, Environment, Product Stewardship and Sustainability (HSEPS)
Management System. These requirements include, but are not limited to, identifying and detailing all emissions to air on
an inventory that captures them, developing operational controls, and standardized compliance obligation tracking for
permit conditions and regulatory requirements. Where there are industrial air emissions that do not have specific legal or
permit requirements, we implement best management practices, where available.
• Wastewater Management. We require our locations and functions to manage water use and wastewater effluent in
accordance with our HSEPS Management System. In addition to meeting all legal and regulatory requirements, the
HSEPS Management System requires Honeywell manufacturing locations to complete actions such as maintain an
inventory of its uses, discharges, and consumption of water, develop location-specific operation controls to manage
wastewater, and provide training for employees and contractors who perform critical activities related to wastewater.
•
•
Environmental Remediation. Our “reuse first” practice views idle properties as assets that can be revitalized to mutually
benefit communities and the company. The properties that emerge from this approach ignite civic pride and catalyze
further community development initiatives. Using cutting-edge science, design, and engineering to protect human health
and the environment, we work cooperatively with governments and engage with local communities and other external
stakeholders to implement effective solutions.
Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions. As part of our commitment to reduce GHG emissions, we have been
implementing solar projects to reduce dependency on conventional power sources, including installing rooftop and carport
solar systems at various facilities to offset the sites' energy usage.
We uphold our commitment to be carbon neutral by 2035 in our facilities and operations. Our GHG reduction program initially
began in 2004, in our view setting us well on our way to achieving this commitment. Further to achieving our carbon neutrality
goals, in 2023, we exceeded our 10-10-10 commitments that we established in 2019 to (i) reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions
intensity by 10% from a 2018 baseline, (ii) deploy 10 renewable energy opportunities, and (iii) achieve certification to ISO 50001
Energy Management Standard at 10 facilities. In 2022, we joined the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Climate Challenge,
pledging to reduce U.S. Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 50% from a 2018 baseline. In addition, in 2023, our near-term science-
based target, which includes Scope 3 emissions, was approved by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi).

ABOUT HONEYWELL
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
Inclusion and Diversity is at the core of all we do and drives us to build and reinforce an inclusive culture. With our global programs
and inclusive culture, we recruit, develop, retain, and promote diverse talent. We continue to build partnerships with diverse
organizations and develop resources to support diverse employees. We hold employees accountable to actively support Inclusion
and Diversity in words and actions. We further our foundational principle of Inclusion and Diversity by focusing on three strategic
priority areas:
REPRESENTATION
RECOGNITION
RETENTION
Cultivate a workforce that reflects our
communities and the world
Be a global employer of choice for
Inclusion and Diversity
Create employee development and
advancement opportunities
Sustain a pipeline of diverse talent
from campus to the C-Suite
Leverage our culture as a competitive
advantage
Foster community engagement and
belonging
Promote a culture of inclusion,
accessibility, and respect
Lead on Inclusion and Diversity
practices
Offer competitive compensation,
rewards, and recognition
Our commitment to Inclusion and Diversity starts at the top with a diverse Board of Directors (the Board) and executive
management team, who represent a broad spectrum of backgrounds and perspectives. We believe that the diversity of our current
Board of Directors (four women, and two African American, one Hispanic, and two Asian American directors) and the diversity of
Honeywell’s executive leadership (six of the Company’s nine executive officers are diverse by ethnic background, non-U.S. place of
birth, or gender) supports our evolving business strategy and is a testament to Honeywell’s ongoing commitment to hiring,
developing, and retaining diverse talent. The Company’s commitment to Inclusion and Diversity enables better decision-making,
helps build competitive advantages, and furthers long-term success.
Our Global Inclusion and Diversity Steering Committee co-sponsored by our CEO, Senior Vice President and General Counsel,
and Senior Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer fortifies our inclusion and diversity governance structure by
embedding Inclusion and Diversity Councils in each of our business groups. The governance structure provides a scalable model
that supports our nine affinity group employee networks and facilitates the introduction of new networks to reflect the diverse
characteristics of our workforce. These networks are designed to provide training and development opportunities and expand
internal networks for promotional opportunities.

We held our second annual Global Inclusion and Diversity month in September 2023, during which employees all around the world
recognized and supported inclusive diversity efforts by learning from and connecting with one another. The month offered
employees the opportunity to make an impact by shaping an inclusive and diverse future.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
(Dollars in tables and graphs in millions, except per share amounts)
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to help the
reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries
(Honeywell, we, us, our, or the Company) for the three years ended December 31, 2023. All references to Notes relate to Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the section titled Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
A detailed discussion of the prior year 2022 to 2021 year-over-year changes is not included herein and can be found in the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the 2022 Annual Report on
Form 10-K filed February 10, 2023.
BUSINESS UPDATE
MACROECONOMIC CONDITIONS
We continue to monitor the impacts of ongoing macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical events. During 2023, material inflation
continued to moderate. Slowing global growth relieved pressure on logistics freight and service capacity and provided supply chain
redundancy. We continue to leverage short-term and long-term mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of supply chain
disruptions, including digital solutions to assist in identifying and managing shortages.
Our mitigation strategies include pricing actions, longer term planning for constrained materials, new supplier development,
material supply tracking tools, and direct engagement with key suppliers to meet customer demand. Our relationships with primary
and secondary suppliers allow us to reliably source key components and raw materials. In areas where we cannot procure key
components or raw materials, we consider altering existing products and developing new products to satisfy customer needs.
Alterations to existing products and the development of new products undergo product quality controls and engineering
qualification prior to releasing to our customers. In addition, we assist certain suppliers facing manufacturing challenges by
committing our own resources to their sites and facilities. We believe these mitigation strategies enable us to reduce supply risk,
accelerate new product innovation, and expand our penetration in the markets we serve. Additionally, due to the strenuous quality
controls and product qualification we perform on a new or altered product, we do not expect these mitigation strategies to impact
product quality or reliability.
Global conflicts continue to create volatility in global financial and energy markets and contribute to supply chain shortages adding
to the inflationary pressures in the global economy. We actively collaborate with our suppliers to minimize impacts of supply
shortages on our manufacturing capabilities.
To date, our strategies have successfully mitigated our exposure to these conditions. However, if we are not successful in
sustaining or executing these strategies, these macroeconomic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
results of operations or operating cash flows.
See the section titled Review of Business Segments for additional information on the impacts of inflationary cost pressures and
labor shortages to our businesses.
See the section titled Risk Factors for a discussion of risks associated with the potential adverse effects of inflationary cost
pressures, supply chain disruptions, and labor shortages to our businesses.

CORPORATE AND ALL OTHER
Corporate and All Other primarily includes unallocated corporate costs, interest expense on holding-company debt, and the
controlling majority-owned interest in Quantinuum. Corporate and All Other is not a separate reportable business segment as
segment reporting criteria is not met. The Company continues to monitor the activities in Corporate and All Other to determine the
need for further reportable business segment disaggregation.
REPOSITIONING CHARGES
See Note 4 Repositioning and Other Charges of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our repositioning
actions and related charges incurred in 2023, 2022, and 2021. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $294 million,
$275 million, and $382 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and was funded through operating cash flows.
BUSINESS REALIGNMENT
In October 2023, the Company announced a realignment, effective in the first quarter of 2024, of its business units comprising its
Performance Materials and Technologies, and Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business segments by forming two new
reportable business segments: Industrial Automation, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions. Industrial Automation will include
Sensing and Safety Technologies, Productivity Solutions and Services, and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions, which are
currently included in Safety and Productivity Solutions, in addition to Process Solutions, which is currently included in Performance
Materials and Technologies. Energy and Sustainability Solutions will include UOP and Advanced Materials, which are currently
included in Performance Materials and Technologies. Further, as part of the realignment, the Company will rename its Aerospace
and Honeywell Building Technologies reportable business segments to Aerospace Technologies and Building Automation,
respectively. Following the realignment, the Company’s reportable business segments will be Aerospace Technologies, Industrial
Automation, Building Automation, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions. The realignment will not impact the Company’s
historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expects to report its financial
performance based on this realignment effective with the first quarter of 2024.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
Our business, operating results, cash flows, and financial condition are subject to the material risks and uncertainties set forth
below, any one of which could cause our actual results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.
Disclosures of risks should not be interpreted to imply that the risks have not already materialized, and there may be additional
risks that are not presently material or known.
MACROECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY RISKS
Each of our businesses is subject to unique industry and economic conditions that may adversely affect the markets and
operating conditions of our customers, which in turn can affect demand for our products and services and our results of
operations.
• Aerospace—Our Aerospace business is impacted by customer buying patterns of aftermarket parts, supplier stability, factory
transitions, and global supply chain capacity constraints that may lead to shortages of crucial components. Operating results
may be adversely affected by downturns in the global demand for air travel, which may impact new aircraft production or result in
the delay or cancellation of new aircraft orders, delays in launch schedules for new aircrafts, the retirement of aircrafts, and
reductions in global flying hours, which impacts air transport and regional, business, and general aviation aircraft utilization rates.
Operating results may also be adversely affected by any decrease in air travel demand due to regional restrictions or suspension
of service for events related to public health, safety, the environment, or regional conflicts. Operating results could also be
impacted by changes in overall trends related to end market demand for the product portfolio, as well as new entrants and non-
traditional players entering the market. Operating results in our Defense and Space business unit may be affected by the mix of
U.S. and foreign government appropriations for defense and space programs and by compliance risks. Results may also be
impacted by the potential introduction of counterfeit parts into our global supply chain.
• Honeywell Building Technologies—Operating results may be adversely impacted by downturns in the level of global
commercial construction activity (including retrofits and upgrades), lower capital spending and operating expenditures on
building projects, changes in the competitive landscape, including new market entrants and new technologies, and fluctuations
in inventory levels in distribution channels.
• Performance Materials and Technologies—Operating results may be adversely impacted by downturns in capacity utilization
for chemical, industrial, refining, petrochemical, and semiconductor plants, our customers’ availability of capital for refinery
construction and expansion, raw material demand and supply, product commoditization, continued illegal imports of
hydrofluorocarbons into Europe, and our ability to maximize our facilities’ production capacity and minimize downtime. Periods of
increased volatility in oil and natural gas prices may result in less investment by our customers and therefore, lower demand for
our products and services.
• Safety and Productivity Solutions—Operating results may be adversely impacted by reduced investments in process
automation, safety monitoring, and plant capacity utilization initiatives, fluctuations in retail markets, a slowdown in demand for
safety products, changes in the competitive landscape, including new market entrants and new technologies that may lead to
product commoditization, and adverse industry economic conditions, all of which could result in lower market share, reduced
selling prices, and lower margins.
A significant percentage of our sales and operations is in non-U.S. jurisdictions and is subject to the economic, political,
regulatory, foreign exchange, and other risks of international operations.
Our international operations, including U.S. exports, represent more than half of the Company’s sales. Risks related to international
operations include exchange control regulations, wage and price controls, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, antitrust
regulations, employment regulations, foreign investment laws, import, export, and other trade restrictions (such as sanctions and
embargoes), differing levels of protection of intellectual property, acts of industrial espionage, violations by our employees of anti-
corruption laws (despite our efforts to mitigate such risk), changes in regulations regarding transactions with state-owned
enterprises, nationalization of private enterprises, acts of terrorism, acts of war, civil strife, and our ability to hire and maintain
qualified staff and maintain the safety of our employees in these regions. Instability and uncertainties arising from the global
geopolitical environment and the evolving international and domestic political, regulatory, and economic landscape, including the
potential for changes in global trade policies, such as sanctions and trade barriers, and trends such as populism, economic
nationalism, and negative sentiment toward multinational companies, as well as the cost of compliance with increasingly complex
and often conflicting regulations worldwide, can impair our flexibility in modifying product, marketing, pricing, or other strategies for
growing our businesses, as well as our ability to improve productivity and maintain acceptable operating margins.
Existing free trade laws and regulations provide certain beneficial duties and tariffs for qualifying imports and exports. Changes in
laws or policies governing the terms of foreign trade, and in particular increased trade restrictions, tariffs, or taxes on imports from
countries where we manufacture products or from where we import products or raw materials, either directly or through our
suppliers, could have an impact on our competitive position and financial results.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
The U.S. continues to implement certain trade actions, including imposing tariffs on certain goods imported from China and other
countries, which has resulted in retaliatory tariffs by China and other countries. Additional tariffs, export controls, and sanctions
laws imposed by the U.S. on a broader range of imports, or further retaliatory trade measures taken by China or other countries in
response, could increase the cost of our products.
In response to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the U.S. and other countries imposed actions including sanctions, export
and import controls, and trade restrictions with respect to Russian and Belarusian governments, government-related entities, and
other entities and individuals. Further, the Russian government implemented retaliatory actions against the U.S. and other nation
members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as certain other nations. Given the uncertainty inherent in our
remaining obligations related to our contracts with Russian counterparties, we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of
reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters. As the conflict continues to evolve, existing conditions
may worsen, or other impacts, including escalation of the conflict in other regions of Europe where there is a material portion of our
business, increased tension between Russia and the U.S. and other NATO members and other countries, or other impacts that are
unknown at this time, could lead to increased charges and could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial
position. These impacts may result in increased costs or additional impacts on our operations and may adversely affect our ability
to meet contractual and financial obligations, results of operations, and financial condition.
To the extent the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalates, it may also negatively impact other risk factors disclosed
in this Form 10-K and further impact our financial results. Such risks include, but are not limited to, adverse effects on
macroeconomic conditions, including inflation and consumer spending; cybersecurity incidents and other disruptions to our
information technology infrastructure or that of our customers and suppliers, including disruptions at our cloud computing, server,
systems, and other third party information technology (IT) service providers; adverse changes in international trade policies and
relations; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy, particularly in Eastern Europe and surrounding regions;
disruptions in global supply chains; energy shortages; terrorist activities targeting U.S. government contractors and/or critical
infrastructure; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets.
Operating outside of the U.S. also exposes us to foreign exchange risk, which we monitor and seek to reduce through hedging
activities. However, foreign exchange hedging activities bear a financial cost and may not always be available to us or be
successful in eliminating such volatility. Finally, we generate significant amounts of cash outside of the U.S. that is invested with
financial and non-financial counterparties. While we employ comprehensive controls regarding global cash management to guard
against cash or investment loss and to ensure our ability to fund our operations and commitments, a material disruption to the
counterparties with whom we transact business could expose Honeywell to financial loss.
Operating outside the U.S. also exposes us to additional intellectual property risk. The laws and enforcement practices of certain
jurisdictions in which we operate may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as in the U.S. and may impose
joint venture, technology transfer, local service or other foreign investment requirements, and restrictions that potentially
compromise control over our technology and proprietary information. Failure of foreign jurisdictions to protect our intellectual
property rights, an inability to effectively enforce such rights in foreign jurisdictions, or the imposition of foreign jurisdiction
investment or sourcing restrictions or requirements could result in loss of valuable proprietary information and could impact our
competitive position and financial results.
Risks related to our defined benefit pension plans may adversely impact our results of operations and cash flow.
Significant changes in actual investment return on pension assets, discount rates, and other factors could adversely affect our
results of operations and require cash pension contributions in future periods. Changes in discount rates and actual asset returns
different than our anticipated asset returns can result in significant non-cash actuarial gains or losses, which we record in the fourth
quarter of each fiscal year, and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim re-measurement is triggered. With regard to cash
pension contributions, funding requirements for our pension plans are largely dependent upon interest rates, actual investment
returns on pension assets, and the impact of legislative or regulatory changes related to pension funding obligations.
OPERATIONAL RISKS
Raw material price fluctuations, inflation, the ability of key suppliers to meet quality and delivery requirements, or
catastrophic events can increase the cost of our products and services, impact our ability to meet commitments to
customers, and cause us to incur significant liabilities.
The cost of raw materials is a key element in the cost of our products, particularly in Performance Materials and Technologies
(copper, fluorspar, tungsten salts, ethylene, aluminum, and molybdenum) and in Aerospace (nickel, steel, titanium, and other
metals). As of December 31, 2023, Aerospace and Performance Materials and Technologies had 85% and 64%, respectively, of
raw materials supply base under contract. While we have implemented mitigation strategies to reduce the impact of supply chain
disruptions, any inability to source necessary materials when and as needed, offset material price or labor inflation through
increased prices to customers, formula-driven or long-term fixed price contracts with suppliers, productivity actions, or commodity
hedges could adversely affect our results of operations.
31
Honeywell International Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
Many major components, product equipment items, and raw materials, particularly in Aerospace, are procured or subcontracted on
a single or sole-source basis. Although we maintain a qualification and performance surveillance process and we believe that
sources of supply for raw materials and components are generally adequate, it is difficult to predict what effects shortages or price
increases, in addition to other supply chain disruptions, may have in the future. Our ability to manage inventory and meet delivery
requirements may be constrained by our suppliers’ inability to scale production and adjust delivery of long-lead time products
during times of volatile demand. In addition, current or future global economic uncertainty, including inflation and increased interest
rates, supply chain and labor disruptions, unemployment rates, banking instability, any U.S. government shutdown, any
downgrades in the U.S. government's sovereign credit rating, public health crises, volatile financial markets, geopolitical instability
and regional conflicts, and potential recession may affect the financial stability of our key suppliers or their access to financing,
which may in turn affect their ability to perform their obligations to us. If one or more of our suppliers experiences financial
difficulties, delivery delays, or other performance problems, our resulting inability to fill our supply needs would jeopardize our ability
to fulfill obligations under commercial and government contracts, which could, in turn, result in reduced sales and profits, contract
penalties or terminations, and damage to customer relationships.
In an effort to reduce the impact of current and future supply chain disruptions, we have implemented short-term and long-term
strategies to reduce the impact of such disruptions, including pricing actions, longer-term planning for constrained materials,
material supply tracking tools, direct engagement with key suppliers to meet customer demand, and development of new or
redesigned products that satisfy our product quality controls and engineering qualifications and/or any applicable regulatory
requirements. We cannot provide any assurance that our mitigation strategies will continue to be successful, or that we will be able
to alter our strategies or develop new strategies if and as needed.
We may be unable to successfully execute or effectively integrate acquisitions, and divestitures may not occur as
planned.
We regularly review our portfolio of businesses and pursue growth through acquisitions and seek to divest non-core businesses.
We may not be able to complete transactions on favorable terms, on a timely basis, or at all. In addition, our results of operations
and cash flows may be adversely impacted by (i) the failure of acquired businesses to meet or exceed expected returns, including
risk of impairment; (ii) the failure to integrate multiple acquired businesses into Honeywell simultaneously and on schedule and/or
to achieve expected synergies; (iii) the inability to dispose of non-core assets and businesses on satisfactory terms and conditions;
and (iv) the discovery of unanticipated liabilities, labor relations difficulties, cybersecurity concerns, compliance issues, or other
problems in acquired businesses for which we lack contractual protections, insurance or indemnities, or, with regard to divested
businesses, claims by purchasers to whom we have provided contractual indemnification.
Our future growth is largely dependent upon our ability to develop new technologies and introduce new products that
achieve market acceptance in increasingly competitive markets with acceptable margins.
Our future growth rate depends upon a number of factors, including our ability to (i) identify and evolve with emerging technological
and broader industry trends, including technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning in our target end markets;
(ii) develop and maintain competitive products; (iii) defend our market share against an ever-expanding number of competitors,
including many new and non-traditional competitors; (iv) enhance our products by adding innovative features that differentiate our
products from those of our competitors and prevent commoditization of our products; (v) develop, manufacture, and bring
compelling new products to market quickly and cost-effectively; (vi) monitor disruptive technologies and business models;
(vii) achieve sufficient return on investment for new products introduced based on capital expenditures and research and
development spending; (viii) respond to changes in overall trends related to end market demand; and (ix) attract, develop, and
retain individuals with the requisite technical expertise and understanding of customers’ needs to develop new technologies and
introduce new products. Competitors may also develop after-market services and parts for our products which attract customers
and adversely affect our return on investment for new products. The failure of our technologies or products to gain market
acceptance due to more attractive offerings by our competitors or the failure to address any of the above factors could significantly
reduce our revenues and adversely affect our competitive standing and prospects.
Failure to increase productivity through sustainable operational improvements, as well as an inability to successfully
execute repositioning projects or to effectively manage our workforce, may reduce our profitability or adversely impact
our businesses.
Our profitability and margin growth are dependent upon our ability to drive sustainable improvements. We seek productivity and
cost savings benefits through repositioning actions and projects, such as consolidation of manufacturing facilities, transitions to
cost-competitive regions, and product line rationalizations. Risks associated with these actions include delays in execution,
additional unexpected costs, realization of fewer than estimated productivity improvements, and adverse effects on employee
morale. We may not realize the full operational or financial benefits we expect, the recognition of these benefits may be delayed,
and these actions may potentially disrupt our operations. In addition, organizational changes, increased attrition, failure to create
and implement a succession plan for key Company positions, not retaining key talent, inability to attract new employees with
unique skills, trends in rising labor costs and labor availability, labor relations difficulties, or workforce stoppage could have a
material adverse effect on our business, reputation, financial position, and results of operations. Additionally, certain personnel may
be required to receive various clearances and substantial training in order to work on certain programs or perform certain tasks.
Necessary security clearances may be delayed, which may impact our ability to perform on our U.S. government contracts. We
also may not be successful in training or developing qualified personnel with the requisite relevant skills or security clearances.
32
Honeywell International Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
As a supplier to the U.S. government, we are subject to unique risks, such as the right of the U.S. government to
terminate contracts for convenience and to conduct audits and investigations of our operations and performance.
U.S. government contracts are subject to termination by the government, either for the convenience of the government or for our
failure to perform consistent with the terms of the applicable contract. Our contracts with the U.S. government are also subject to
government audits that may recommend downward price adjustments and other changes. When appropriate and prudent, we
made adjustments and paid voluntary refunds in the past and may do so in the future. In addition, U.S. government contracts are
subject to congressional funding, which may be unavailable due to changes in priorities or subject to continuing resolution, which
may result in funding reductions, eliminations, or other effects that could impact our business.
We are also subject to government investigations of business practices and compliance with government procurement and security
regulations. If, as a result of any such investigation or other government investigations (including investigation of violations of
certain environmental, employment, or export laws), Honeywell or one of its businesses were found to have violated applicable law,
then it could be suspended from bidding on or receiving awards of new government contracts, suspended from contract
performance pending the completion of legal proceedings, and/or have its export privileges suspended.
Our operations and the prior operations of predecessor companies expose us to the risk of material environmental
liabilities.
Mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we are subject to potentially material liabilities
related to the remediation of environmental hazards and to claims of personal injuries or property damages that may be caused by
hazardous substance releases and exposures. We continue to incur remedial response and voluntary clean-up costs for site
contamination and are a party to lawsuits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production
of products containing hazardous substances. Additional lawsuits, claims, and costs involving environmental matters are likely to
continue to arise in the future. Various federal, state, local, and foreign governments regulate the use of certain materials, the
discharge of materials into the environment, and/or communications respecting certain materials in our products, and can impose
substantial fines and criminal sanctions for violations, and require injunctive relief measures, including installation of costly
equipment, implementation of operational changes to limit emissions and/or decrease the likelihood of accidental hazardous
substance releases, or limiting access of our products to markets, among others. In addition, changes in laws, regulations and
enforcement of policies, the discovery of previously unknown contamination or new technology or information related to individual
sites, the establishment of stricter toxicity standards with respect to certain contaminants, or the imposition of new clean-up
requirements or remedial techniques could require us to incur additional costs in the future that would have a negative effect on our
financial condition or results of operations.
Our business, reputation, and financial performance may be materially impacted by cybersecurity attacks on our
information technology infrastructure and products.
Cybersecurity is a critical component of the Company’s enterprise risk management program. Global cybersecurity threats and
incidents can range from uncoordinated individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to IT systems to sophisticated and
targeted measures known as advanced persistent threats, directed at the Company, its products, its customers, and/or its third
party software and service providers, including cloud providers. Our customers, including the U.S. government, are increasingly
requiring cybersecurity protections and mandating cybersecurity standards in our products, and we may incur additional costs to
comply with such demands. While we have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, these types of threats and
incidents, none of them to date have been material to the Company. We seek to deploy comprehensive measures to deter, prevent,
detect, respond to, and mitigate these threats, including identity and access controls, data protection, vulnerability assessments,
continuous monitoring of our IT networks and systems, and maintenance of backup and protective systems. Despite these efforts,
cybersecurity incidents (against us, parties with whom we contract, or software used in our business), including incidents due to
human error, third-party action, including actions of foreign actors, which risk may be exacerbated by the current Russia-Ukraine
and Israel-Hamas conflicts and U.S. and international response, insider attacks, phishing or denial-of-service attacks, ransomware
or other malware, social engineering, malfeasance, other unauthorized physical or electronic access, or other vulnerabilities,
depending on their nature and scope, could potentially result in the misappropriation, destruction, corruption or unavailability of
critical data and confidential or proprietary information (our own or that of third parties), theft of funds, and the disruption of
business operations. In addition, the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive data continue to evolve and
become more sophisticated and may not be recognized until launched against a target; accordingly, we may be unable to
anticipate these techniques or implement adequate preventative measures, and future cybersecurity incidents could go undetected
and persist for an extended period of time. Furthermore, to the extent artificial intelligence capabilities improve and are increasingly
adopted, they may be used to identify vulnerabilities and craft increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity attacks, and vulnerabilities
may be introduced from the use of artificial intelligence by us, our financial services providers and other vendors and third-party
providers.
Our customers, partners (including our suppliers), subcontractors, and other third parties to whom we entrust confidential data, and
on whom we rely to provide products and services, face similar threats and growing requirements. We depend on such parties to
implement adequate controls and safeguards to protect against and report cyber incidents. If such parties fail to deter, detect, or
report cybersecurity incidents in a timely manner, we may suffer from financial and other harm, including to our information,
operations, performance, employees, and reputation.
33
Honeywell International Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
The potential consequences of a material cybersecurity incident and its effects include financial loss, reputational damage, litigation
with third parties, theft of intellectual property, fines levied by the Federal Trade Commission or other government agencies,
diminution in the value of our investment in research, development, and engineering, and increased cybersecurity protection and
remediation costs due to the increasing sophistication and proliferation of threats, which in turn could have a material impact on our
competitiveness, business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, cybersecurity laws and regulations continue to
evolve, and are increasingly demanding, both in the U.S. and globally, which adds compliance complexity and may increase our
costs of compliance and expose us to reputational damage or litigation, monetary damages, regulatory enforcement actions, or
fines in one or more jurisdictions. We cannot be certain that our cybersecurity insurance coverage will be adequate for liabilities
actually incurred, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer
will not deny coverage as to any future claim.
The development of technology products and services presents security and safety risks.
An increasing number of our products, services, and technologies are delivered with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities and the
accompanying interconnected device networks, which include sensors, data, and advanced computing capabilities. We have
developed product software designs that we believe are less susceptible to cyber-attacks, but despite these efforts, if our products
and services that include IoT solutions do not work as intended or are compromised, the possible consequences include financial
loss, reputational damage, exposure to legal claims or enforcement actions, theft of intellectual property, and diminution in the
value of our investment in research, development, and engineering, which in turn could adversely affect our competitiveness and
results of operations.
Data privacy, data protection, and information security may require significant resources and present certain risks.
We collect, store, have access to, and otherwise process certain confidential or sensitive data, including proprietary business
information, personal data, or other information that is subject to data privacy and security laws, regulations, and/or contractual
obligations with third parties. Despite our efforts to protect such data, we may be vulnerable to material security breaches, theft,
misplaced or lost data, programming errors, or human errors that could potentially lead to the compromise of such data, improper
use of our products, systems, software solutions, or networks, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of
data, defective products, production downtimes, and operational disruptions. A significant actual or perceived risk of theft, loss,
fraudulent use or misuse of customer, employee, or other data, whether by us, our suppliers, channel partners, customers, or other
third parties, as a result of employee error or malfeasance, or as a result of the imaging, software, security, and other products we
incorporate into our products, as well as non-compliance with applicable industry standards or our contractual or other legal
obligations or privacy and information security policies regarding such data, could result in costs, fines, litigation, or regulatory
actions, or could lead customers to select the products and services of our competitors. In addition, we operate in an environment
in which there are different and potentially conflicting laws in effect in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate, and we
must understand and comply with each law and standard in these jurisdictions while also ensuring the data is secure. Many of
these laws impose stringent requirements as to how we collect, store, maintain, transfer, and otherwise process personal data and
provide significant or material penalties for noncompliance. Many jurisdictions have passed or are considering laws that require
personal data relating to their residents or citizens to be maintained or replicated on local servers or impose specific obligations
related to extraterritorial data transfers. Government enforcement actions can be costly and interrupt the regular operation of our
business, and actual or alleged violations of such laws, including in relation to the Company’s processing of personal data or
adoption of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, can result in fines, reputational damage, and
civil lawsuits, any of which may adversely affect our business, reputation, and financial statements.
A material disruption of our operations, particularly at our manufacturing facilities or within our IT infrastructure, could
adversely affect our business.
Our facilities, supply chains, distribution systems, and IT systems are subject to catastrophic loss due to natural disasters or other
weather-related disruptions, including hurricanes and floods, which may be exacerbated by the effects of climate change, power
outages, fires, explosions, terrorism, equipment failures, sabotage, cyber incidents, any potential effects of climate change and
adverse weather conditions, including water scarcity and rising sea levels, labor disputes, critical supply failure, inaccurate
downtime forecast, political disruption and regional conflicts, public health crises, like a regional or global pandemic, and other
reasons, which can result in undesirable consequences, including financial losses and damaged relationships with customers. We
employ IT systems and networks to support the business and rely on them to process, transmit and store electronic information,
and to manage or support a variety of business processes and activities. Although preventative measures may help to mitigate
damage, such measures could be costly, and disruptions to our manufacturing facilities or IT infrastructure from system failures,
shutdowns, power outages and energy shortages, telecommunication or utility failures, cybersecurity incidents, and other events,
including disruptions at our cloud computing, server, systems, and other third party IT service providers, could interfere with our
operations, interrupt production and shipments, damage customer and business partner relationships, and negatively impact our
reputation. In addition, the insurance we maintain may not be adequate to cover our losses resulting from any business
interruption, including those resulting from a natural disaster or other severe weather event, and recurring extreme weather events
or other adverse events could reduce the availability or increase the cost of insurance.
34
Honeywell International Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
Concentrations of credit, counterparty, and market risk may adversely affect our results of operations and financial
condition.
We maintain long-term contractual relationships with many of our customers, suppliers, and other counterparties. While we monitor
the financial health of these counterparties, we are exposed to credit and market risks of such counterparties, including those
concentrated in the same or similar industries and geographic regions. Changes in political and economic conditions could also
lead to concerns about the creditworthiness of counterparties and their ability to pay in the same or similar industry or geography,
impacting our ability to renew our long-term contractual arrangements or collect amounts due under these arrangements. Among
other factors, geopolitical events, inflation, rising interest rates, banking instability, and changes in economic conditions, including
an economic downturn or recession, could also result in the credit deterioration or insolvency of a significant counterparty.
We are impacted by increasing stakeholder interest in public company performance, disclosure, and goal-setting with
respect to environmental, social, and governance matters.
In response to growing customer, investor, employee, governmental, and other stakeholder interest in our ESG practices, including
our procedures, standards, performance metrics, and goals, we have increased reporting of our ESG programs and performance
and have established and announced goals and other objectives related to ESG matters. These goal statements reflect our current
plans and aspirations and are not guarantees that we will be able to achieve them. Our ability to achieve any goal or objective,
including with respect to ESG initiatives, is subject to numerous risks, many of which are outside of our control. Examples of such
risks include: (i) the availability and cost of low- or non-carbon-based energy sources and technologies, (ii) evolving regulatory
requirements affecting ESG standards or disclosures, (iii) the availability of suppliers that can meet our sustainability, diversity and
other standards, (iv) our ability to recruit, develop, and retain diverse talent in our labor markets, and (v) the impact of our organic
growth and acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or operations. In addition, standards for tracking and reporting on ESG
matters have not been harmonized and continue to evolve. Our processes and controls for reporting of ESG matters may not
always comply with evolving and disparate standards for identifying, measuring, and reporting ESG metrics, our interpretation of
reporting standards may differ from those of others, and such standards may change over time, any of which could result in
significant revisions to our performance metrics, goals, or reported progress in achieving such goals. In addition, certain of our
products and services, including offerings in our Defense and Space business unit, are unattractive to certain investors and may
cause us to be increasingly subject to ESG-driven investment practices that preclude investment in our debt and equity. On the
other hand, some investors have a negative response to ESG practices as a result of anti-ESG sentiment and may choose not to
invest in us, or divest in their holdings of us, as a result of our ESG practices and initiatives.
If our ESG practices or business portfolio do not meet evolving investor or other stakeholder expectations and standards, then our
reputation, our ability to attract or retain employees, and our attractiveness as an investment, supplier, business partner, or acquiror
could be negatively impacted. Our failure or perceived failure to pursue or fulfill our goals, targets, and objectives or to satisfy
various reporting standards within the timelines we announce, or at all, could have similar negative impacts and expose us to
government enforcement actions and private litigation.
Global climate change and related regulations and changes in customer demand could negatively affect our operations
and our business.
The effects of climate change could create financial risks to our business. For example, the effects of physical impacts of climate
change could disrupt our operations by impacting the availability and cost of materials needed for manufacturing, exacerbate
existing risks to our supply chain, disrupt our operations, and increase insurance and other operating costs. These factors may
impact our decisions to construct new facilities or maintain existing facilities in areas most prone to physical climate risks. We could
also face indirect financial risks passed through the supply chain and disruptions that could result in increased prices for our
products and the resources needed to produce them.
The growing focus on addressing global climate change has resulted in more regulations designed to reduce GHG emissions and
more customer demand for products and services that have a lower carbon footprint or that help businesses and consumers
reduce carbon emissions throughout their value chains. These regulations tend to be implemented under global, national and sub-
national climate objectives or policies, and target the global warming potential of refrigerants, energy efficiency, and the combustion
of fossil fuels. Although we offer and continue to invest in developing solutions that help our customers meet their carbon reduction
and sustainability goals, many of our products combust fossil fuels, consume energy, and use refrigerants. Regulations and carbon
reduction goals which seek to reduce GHG emissions could reduce demand for such products and present a risk to our business.
We may be required to further increase research and development and other capital expenditures in order to develop offerings that
meet these new regulations, standards, and customer demands. There can be no assurance that our new product development
efforts will be successful, that our products will be accepted by the market, or that economic returns will reflect our investments in
new product development.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
LEGAL AND REGULATORY RISKS
Our U.S. and non-U.S. tax liabilities are dependent, in part, upon the distribution of income among various jurisdictions in
which we operate, as well as changes in tax law or regulation.
Our future results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in the effective tax rate as a result of a change in the mix of
earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in tax laws, regulations and judicial rulings (or changes in the
interpretation thereof), potential taxation of digital services, changes in generally accepted accounting principles, changes in the
valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in the amount of earnings permanently reinvested offshore, the results of
audits and examinations of previously filed tax returns and continuing assessments of our tax exposures, and various other
governmental enforcement initiatives. Our tax expense includes estimates of tax reserves and reflects other estimates and
assumptions, including assessments of future earnings of the Company, which could impact the valuation of our deferred tax
assets. In addition, our future effective tax rates could be subject to volatility or adversely affected by changes in tax laws,
regulations, accounting principles, or interpretations thereof.
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 and other invited countries, developed a global tax
framework inclusive of a 15% global minimum tax under the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (Pillar Two). On December
15, 2022, the Council of the European Union (EU) formally adopted the OECD’s framework to achieve a coordinated
implementation amongst EU Member States consistent with EU law. The EU’s Pillar Two Directive effective dates are January 1,
2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. Other major jurisdictions are actively considering and
implementing changes to their tax laws to adopt certain parts of the OECD’s proposals. We have assessed this framework and
determined, based upon available guidance, that these changes will not have a material impact to our results of operations. Any
future changes in OECD guidance or interpretations, including local country tax legislative changes thereof, could impact our initial
assessment; therefore, we will continue to monitor and refine our assessment as further guidance is made available.
Changes in legislation or government regulations or policies can have a significant impact on our results of operations.
The sales and margins of each of our reportable business segments are directly impacted by government regulations, including
environmental, safety, performance, and product certification regulations. Within Aerospace, the operating results of Commercial
Aviation Original Equipment and Commercial Aviation Aftermarket may be impacted by, among other things, mandates of the
Federal Aviation Administration and other similar international regulatory bodies requiring the installation of equipment on aircraft.
Our Defense and Space business unit may be affected by changes in government procurement regulations. Within Honeywell
Building Technologies and Safety and Productivity Solutions, the demand for and cost of providing products, services and solutions
can be impacted by fire, security, safety, health care, environmental, and energy efficiency standards and regulations. Performance
Materials and Technologies’ results of operations can be impacted by environmental and health standards, regulations, and judicial
determinations, including potential per/polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) legislation and regulations that, if adopted, could impact
the sale of certain products in our Advanced Materials business unit, without fully assessing level of risk or environmental impact.
Growth in all our businesses within emerging markets may be adversely impacted by the inability to acquire and retain qualified
employees where local employment law mandates may be restrictive. Changes in such regulations and government policies could
negatively impact us; for instance, noncompliance with legislation and regulations can result in fines and penalties, and compliance
with any new regulations or policies may be burdensome and/or require significant expenditures.
Increased focus and evolving views of lawmakers on climate change and other ESG issues could have a long-term impact
on our business and result of operations.
Increased public awareness and concern regarding global climate change and other ESG matters may result in more international,
regional, and/or federal regulatory or other stakeholder requirements or expectations that could mandate more restrictive or
expansive standards, such as stricter limits on GHG emissions or more prescriptive reporting of ESG metrics, practices, and
targets, than the voluntary commitments that the Company has adopted or require such changes on a more accelerated time
frame. There continues to be a lack of consistent climate and other ESG legislation, which creates economic and regulatory
uncertainty; however, there has been an increasing amount of legislative and regulatory activity, particularly in the European Union,
United Kingdom, and U.S. In addition, there is also an increasing number of state-level anti-ESG initiatives in the U.S. that may
conflict with other regulatory requirements, resulting in regulatory uncertainty. New or revised legal and regulatory requirements
could impose significant operational restrictions and compliance requirements upon the Company or its products, and could
negatively impact the Company’s business, capital expenditures, results of operations, financial condition, and competitive position.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
RISK FACTORS
We cannot predict with certainty the outcome of litigation matters, government proceedings and other contingencies and
uncertainties.
We are currently, and may in the future become, subject to lawsuits, fines, investigations, and disputes (some of which involve
substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions,
government contracts, product liability (including asbestos), the integration of emerging technologies (such as, but not limited to,
artificial intelligence and machine learning), prior acquisitions and divestitures, employment, employee benefits plans, intellectual
property, antitrust, anti-corruption, accounting, import and export, and environmental, health, and safety matters. Our potential
liabilities are subject to change over time due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary
requirements, and we may become subject to or be required to pay damage awards or settlements that could have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, reputation, cash flows, and financial condition. While we maintain insurance for certain
risks, the amount of our insurance coverage may not be adequate to cover the total amount of all insured claims and liabilities. The

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(Dollars in tables in millions)
We manage our businesses to maximize operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. Each of our businesses focus on
increasing operating cash flows through revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved working capital turnover. Additional
sources of liquidity include U.S. cash balances, and the ability to access non-U.S. cash balances, short-term debt from the
commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets.
CASH
As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, we held $8.1 billion and $10.1 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including
our short-term investments. We monitor the third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a daily
basis. Our emphasis is primarily safety of principal and secondarily maximizing yield of those funds. We diversify our cash and
cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one counterparty.
As of December 31, 2023, $5.9 billion of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were held by non-U.S.
subsidiaries. We do not have material amounts related to any jurisdiction subject to currency control restrictions that impact our
ability to access and repatriate such amounts. Under current laws, we do not expect taxes on repatriation or restrictions on
amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity.
CASH FLOW SUMMARY

TABLE OF CONTENTS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Year ended December 31, 2023
Net cash provided by operating activities was $5,340 million, driven by $5,658 million of Net income attributable to Honeywell,
adjusted for $1,176 million of depreciation and amortization, and a $518 million increase from Accounts payable, due to increased
material receipts and lower disbursements, partially offset by the $1,325 million payment pursuant to the NARCO Amended Buyout
Agreement and a $626 million increase in Inventories, due to increased purchases.
Net cash used for investing activities was $1,293 million, driven by $1,039 million of capital expenditures and $718 million cash
paid for acquisitions, partially offset by a $411 million net decrease in investments.
Net cash used for financing activities was $5,763 million, driven by $3,715 million of repurchases of common stock, $2,855 million
of cash dividends paid, and $1,731 million of payments of long-term debt, partially offset by $2,986 million of proceeds from
issuance of long-term debt.
2023 compared with 2022
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $66 million due to cash generated from operations, which included a
favorable impact of working capital and the HWI Net Sale Proceeds of $275 million. The favorable impact of working capital was
driven by a $697 million decrease in Accounts receivable, due to higher cash receipts, and a $673 million increase in Accounts
payable, due to increased material receipts and lower disbursements. This was partially offset by the $1,325 million payment
pursuant to the NARCO Amended Buyout Agreement and $203 million payment for the settlement of UOP Matters.
Net cash used for investing activities increased by $1,200 million due to a $540 million increase in cash paid for acquisitions, $409
million of cash receipts from Garrett Motion Inc. (Garrett) in 2022, and a $363 million decrease in cash receipts from settlements of
derivative contracts, partially offset by a $367 million net decrease in investments.
Net cash used for financing activities decreased by $567 million due to a $485 million decrease in repurchases of common stock
and $119 million decrease in payments of long-term debt, partially offset by a $136 million increase in cash dividends paid.
See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the
NARCO Amended Buyout Agreement, HWI Net Sale Proceeds, and UOP Matters.
CASH REQUIREMENTS AND ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT LIQUIDITY
In addition to our normal operating cash requirements, we expect our primary cash requirements in 2024 to be as follows:
• Capital expenditures—we expect to spend approximately $1.1 billion for capital expenditures in 2024 primarily for growth,
production and capacity expansion, implementation of cost reduction measures, maintenance, and replacement.
• Share repurchases—under our share repurchase program, $7.1 billion was available as of December 31, 2023, for additional
share repurchases as authorized by the Board of Directors on April 24, 2023. We expect to repurchase outstanding shares from
time to time to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock-based compensation plans, including option exercises, restricted unit
vesting and matching contributions under our savings plans. Additionally, we will seek to reduce share count via share
repurchases as and when attractive opportunities arise. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on
market conditions and our level of operating, financing, and other investing activities.
• Mergers and acquisitions—we expect to spend $5.0 billion to complete the acquisition of Carrier Global Corporation's Global
Access Solutions business, as announced on December 8, 2023, subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of
certain regulatory approvals. We expect to evaluate and undertake other actions to optimize our portfolio, including executing on
strategic bolt-on acquisitions over the course of 2024.
• Dividends—we increased our quarterly dividend rate by 5% to $1.08 per share of common stock effective with the fourth quarter
2023 dividend. We intend to continue to pay quarterly dividends in 2024.
We continually seek opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment
terms with our suppliers. In addition, we maintain agreements with third-party financial institutions that offer voluntary supply chain
financing (SCF) programs to suppliers. The SCF programs enable suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables to
third-party financial institutions in order to receive payment on receivables earlier than the negotiated commercial terms between us
and our suppliers. Supplier sale of receivables to third-party financial institutions is on terms negotiated between the supplier and
the respective third-party financial institution. We agree on commercial terms for the goods and services we procure from our
suppliers, including prices, quantities, and payment terms, which normally range between 60 and 120 days, regardless of whether
the supplier elects to participate in the SCF programs. A suppliers’ voluntary participation in the SCF programs has no bearing on
our payment terms and we have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF programs. We agree to pay
participating third-party financial institutions the stated amounts of confirmed invoices from suppliers on the original maturity dates
of the invoices.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Amounts outstanding related to SCF programs are included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. At December
31, 2023, Accounts payable included approximately $1,112 million payable to suppliers who have elected to participate in the SCF
programs. Amounts settled with third-party financial institutions through the SCF programs increased approximately $700 million for
the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase for the year ended December 31, 2023, reflects a combination of increased
enrollment and utilization of our SCF programs. All activity related to amounts due to suppliers that elected to participate in the SCF
programs is reflected in Cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. While access to SCF
could decrease if our credit ratings are downgraded, we do not believe that changes in the availability of SCF will have a significant
impact on our liquidity. The impact of these programs is not material to our overall liquidity.
We sell trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions with limited or no recourse. Transfers of the receivables are accounted
for as sales and, accordingly, receivables sold are excluded from Accounts receivable—net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and
are reflected in Cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the
carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the cash received is recorded in Cost of products and services sold in the
Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impact of this program is not material to our overall liquidity.
Finally, we continue to assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit, and
cash flow contribution in order to identify target investment and acquisition opportunities in order to upgrade our combined portfolio.
We identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. We also identify
businesses that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability, or growth potential.
These businesses are considered

In early 2023, we made payments of approximately $1.5 billion in connection with the NARCO Buyout and UOP Matters. Pursuant
to the NARCO Amended Buyout Agreement, in 2023 we received proceeds from the HWI Sale in the amount of $275 million. See
Note 12 Fair Value Measurements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion related to the fair value
of future proceeds from the HWI Sale.
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future
operating cash needs. Our available cash, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets provide

A primary source of liquidity is our ability to access the corporate bond markets. Through these markets, we issue a variety of long-
term fixed rate notes, in a variety of currencies, to manage our overall funding costs.
Another primary source of liquidity is our ability to access the commercial paper market. Commercial paper notes are sold at a
discount or premium and have a maturity of not more than 365 days from date of issuance. Borrowings under the commercial
paper program are available for general corporate purposes as well as for financing acquisitions. The weighted average interest
rate on commercial paper and other short-term borrowings outstanding was 4.29% and 3.29% as of December 31, 2023, and 2022,
respectively.

We also have the following revolving credit agreements:
• A $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (the 364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated as of March 20, 2023.
Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March 18, 2024, unless (i) we
elect to convert all then outstanding amounts into a term loan, upon which such amounts shall be repaid in full on March 18,
2025, or (ii) the 364-Day Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced
the previously reported $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement dated as of March 24, 2022, which was terminated in accordance
with its terms effective March 20, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under our 364-Day
Credit Agreement.
• A $4.0 billion five-year credit agreement (the 5-Year Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated as of March 20, 2023.
Commitments under the 5-Year Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit Agreement to an
aggregate amount not to exceed $4.5 billion. The 5-Year Credit Agreement amended and restated the previously reported
$4.0 billion amended and restated five-year credit agreement dated as of March 24, 2022. As of December 31, 2023, there were
no outstanding borrowings under our 5-Year Credit Agreement.
We also have a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC under which we may issue additional debt securities,
common stock, and preferred stock that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the
offering. We anticipate that net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of
existing indebtedness, share repurchases, capital expenditures, and acquisitions.
CREDIT RATINGS
Our ability to access the global debt capital markets and the related cost of these borrowings is affected by the strength of our
credit rating and market conditions. Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by the major independent debt-rating agencies. As
of December 31, 2023, S&P Global Inc. (S&P), Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch), and Moody’s Investor Service (Moody's) have ratings on
our debt set forth in the table below:

ASBESTOS MATTERS
Payments, net of insurance recoveries, related to known asbestos matters were $109 million, $166 million, and $240 million for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and are estimated to be approximately $177 million in 2024. We
expect to make payments associated with these asbestos matters from operating cash flows. The timing of these payments
depends on several factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of liability claims. In early 2023, we made payments of
approximately $1.3 billion in connection with the NARCO Buyout. For additional information regarding the NARCO Buyout, see
Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Accruals for environmental matters deemed probable and reasonably estimable were $222 million, $186 million, and $168 million
for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022,
and 2021, we incurred operating costs for ongoing businesses of approximately $110 million, $71 million, and $88 million,
respectively, relating to compliance with environmental regulations.
Payments related to known environmental matters were $196 million, $211 million, and $210 million for the years ended December
31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively, and are estimated to be approximately $227 million in 2024. We expect to make payments
associated with these environmental matters from operating cash flows. The timing of these payments depends on several factors,
including the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory
approval of cleanup projects, execution timeframe of projects, remedial techniques to be utilized, and agreement with other parties.
Reimbursements from Resideo for payments related to environmental matters at certain sites, as defined in the indemnification and
reimbursement agreement, were $140 million in 2023 and are expected to be $140 million in 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is based on
the selection and application of accounting policies that require us to make significant estimates and assumptions about the effects
of matters that are inherently uncertain. Many estimates and assumptions involved in the application of accounting principles have
a material impact on reported financial condition and operating performance and on the comparability of such reported information
over different reporting periods. Critical accounting estimates or assumptions are those where the nature of the estimates or
assumptions is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the
susceptibility of such matters to change, and the impact of the estimates and assumptions on financial condition or operating
performance is material. We consider the estimates and assumptions discussed below to be critical to the understanding of our
financial statements. Actual results could differ from our estimates and assumptions, and any such differences could be material to
our consolidated financial statements.
Sales Recognition on Long-Term Contracts—We recognize sales for long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied
over time using either an input or output method. We recognize revenue over time as we perform on these contracts based on the
continuous transfer of control to the customer. With control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of
progress towards completion of the performance obligation. We generally use the cost-to-cost input method of progress for our
contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as we incur costs. Under the cost-to-cost input
method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total
estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many of
our performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion requires judgment. Contract revenues are
largely determined by negotiated contract prices and quantities, modified by our assumptions regarding contract options, change
orders, incentive and award provisions associated with technical performance and price adjustment clauses (such as inflation or
index-based clauses). Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms, historical
performance trends and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence these estimates include inflationary trends,
technical and schedule risks, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization, and
anticipated labor agreements. Revenue and cost estimates are regularly monitored and revised based on changes in
circumstances. Impacts from changes in estimates of net sales and cost of sales are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis,
which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance
obligation’s percentage of completion. Anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recognized when such losses become evident.
We maintain financial controls over the customer qualification, contract pricing, and estimation processes to reduce the risk of
contract losses.
Income Taxes—On a recurring basis, we assess the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets by considering
all available positive and negative evidence, such as past operating results, projections of future taxable income, enacted tax law
changes, and the feasibility and impact of tax planning initiatives. Our projections of future taxable income include a number of
estimates and assumptions regarding our volume, pricing and costs, as well as the timing and amount of reversals of taxable
temporary differences.
We recognize tax benefits from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on
examination by the taxing authorities, including resolution of any related appeals and litigation. We assess our income tax positions
based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. The tax benefits recognized
in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50%
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For
those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been
recognized in the financial statements.

additional income tax policies.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing—Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have
indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual, or more frequent if necessary, impairment testing. In testing goodwill
and indefinite-lived intangible assets, the fair value is estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow approach, including strategic and
annual operating plans, adjusted for terminal value assumptions. These impairment tests involve the use of accounting estimates
and assumptions, and changes to those assumptions could materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if
actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions. To address this uncertainty, we perform sensitivity analyses on key
estimates and assumptions. Once the fair value is determined, if the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, it is impaired. Any
impairment is measured as the difference between the carrying amount and its fair value.
Definite-Lived Intangible Assets—The determination of useful lives (for depreciation/amortization purposes) and whether or not
intangible assets are impaired involves the use of accounting estimates and assumptions, and changes to those assumptions could
materially impact our financial condition or operating performance if actual results differ from such estimates and assumptions. We
evaluate the recoverability of the carrying amount of our definite-lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a definite-lived intangible asset group may not be fully recoverable. The
principal factors in considering when to perform an impairment review are as follows:
• Significant under-performance (i.e., declines in sales, earnings, or cash flows) of a business or product line in relation to
expectations;
• Annual operating plans or strategic plan outlook that indicates an unfavorable trend in operating performance of a business or
product line;
• Significant negative industry or economic trends; or
• Significant changes or planned changes in our use of the assets.
Once it is determined that an impairment review is necessary, recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying
amount of the asset grouping to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. If the carrying amount exceeds the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows, the asset grouping is considered to be impaired. The impairment is then measured as the difference
between the carrying amount of the asset grouping and its fair value. We endeavor to utilize the best information available to
measure fair value, which is usually either market prices (if available), level 1 or level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, or an estimate of
the future discounted cash flows, level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The key estimates in our discounted cash flow analysis include
assumptions as to expected industry and business growth rates, sales volume, selling prices and costs, cash flows, and the
discount rate selected. These estimates are subject to changes in the economic environment, including market interest rates and
expected volatility. Management believes the estimates of future cash flows and fair values are reasonable; however, changes in
estimates due to variances from assumptions could materially affect the valuations.
Defined Benefit Pension Plans—We sponsor both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For
financial reporting purposes, net periodic pension (income) expense is calculated annually based upon various actuarial
assumptions, including a discount rate for plan obligations and an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets. Changes in the
discount rate and expected long-term rate of return on plan assets could materially affect the annual pension (income) expense
amount. Annual pension (income) expense is comprised of service and interest cost, assumed return on plan assets, prior service
amortization (Pension ongoing (income) expense), and a potential mark-to-market adjustment (MTM Adjustment).
The key assumptions used in developing our net periodic pension (income) expense for our U.S. plans included the following:
Discount rate
Projected benefit obligation
Service cost
Interest cost
Assets
Expected rate of return
Actual rate of return
Actual 10 year average annual compounded rate of return
2023
2022
2021

The MTM Adjustment represents the recognition of net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of
plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor). Net actuarial gains and losses occur when the actual experience
differs from any of the various assumptions used to value our pension plans or when assumptions change. The primary factors
contributing to actuarial gains and losses are changes in the discount rate used to value pension obligations as of the
measurement date each year and the difference between expected and actual returns on plan assets. The mark-to-market
accounting method results in the potential for volatile and difficult to forecast MTM Adjustments. These adjustments resulted in
expenses of $153 million, $523 million, and $40 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
We determine the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets utilizing historical plan asset returns over varying long-term
periods combined with our expectations of future market conditions and asset mix considerations (see Note 20 Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefits of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for details on the actual various asset classes and targeted
asset allocation percentages for our pension plans). We plan to use an expected rate of return on plan assets of 7.00% for 2024,
which is an increase in the assumption used for 2023.
The discount rate reflects the market rate on December 31 (measurement date) for high-quality fixed income investments with
maturities corresponding to our benefit obligations and is subject to change each year. The discount rate can be volatile from year
to year as it is determined based upon prevailing interest rates as of the measurement date. We used a 4.97% discount rate to
determine benefit obligations as of December 31, 2023, reflecting an decrease in the market interest rate environment since the
prior year-end.
In addition to the potential for MTM Adjustments, changes in our expected rate of return on plan assets and discount rate resulting
from economic events also affects future Pension ongoing (income) expense. The following table highlights the sensitivity of our
U.S. pension obligations and ongoing (income) expense to changes in these assumptions, with all other assumptions remaining
constant. These estimates exclude any potential MTM Adjustment:
Change in Assumption
0.25 percentage point decrease in discount rate
0.25 percentage point increase in discount rate
0.25 percentage point decrease in expected rate of return on assets
0.25 percentage point increase in expected rate of return on assets
Impact on 2024 Pension
Ongoing Expense
Impact on Projected
Benefit Obligation
Decrease $16 million
Increase $292 million
Increase $15 million
Increase $40 million
Decrease $40 million
Decrease $280 million
—
—
Pension ongoing income for our world-wide pension plans is expected to be approximately $538 million in 2024 compared with
Pension ongoing income of $528 million in 2023. Also, if required, a MTM Adjustment will be recorded in the fourth quarter of 2024
in accordance with our pension accounting method as previously described. It is difficult to reliably forecast or predict whether there
will be a MTM Adjustment in 2024, and if one is required, what the magnitude of such adjustment will be. MTM Adjustments are
primarily driven by events and circumstances beyond the control of the Company such as changes in interest rates and the
performance of the financial markets.
Asbestos-Related Liabilities and Insurance Recoveries—The recognition of asbestos-related liabilities relates to a predecessor
company, Bendix Friction Materials (Bendix). For Bendix asbestos-related claims, we accrue for the estimated value of pending
claims using average resolution values over a defined look-back period. We also accrue for the estimated value of future claims
related to Bendix over the full term of epidemiological disease projection through 2059 based on historic and anticipated claims
filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and average resolution values in the tort system over a defined look-
back period. We review our valuation assumptions and average resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix asserted and
unasserted claims during the fourth quarter of each year.
In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, we record asbestos-related insurance recoveries that
are deemed probable. In assessing the probability of insurance recovery, we make judgments concerning insurance coverage that
we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings and our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues
surrounding insurers. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are
insolvent, which was considered in our analysis of probable recoveries. Projecting future events is subject to various uncertainties
that could cause the insurance recovery on asbestos-related liabilities to be higher or lower than that projected and recorded.
Given the inherent uncertainty in making future projections, we reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance
recoveries considering any changes to the projected liability, our recovery experience or other relevant factors that may impact
future insurance recoveries.
See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of management’s
judgments applied in the recognition and measurement of our asbestos-related liabilities and related insurance recoveries.
Contingent Liabilities—We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations, and claims (some of which involve substantial
dollar amounts) arising out of the conduct of our business operations or those of previously owned entities, including matters
relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability (including asbestos), prior acquisitions and divestitures,
employee benefit plans, intellectual property, legal, and environmental, health, and safety matters. We continually assess the
likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to our contingencies, as well as potential amounts or ranges of probable losses,
and recognize a liability, if any, for these contingencies based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside
legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Such analysis includes making judgments concerning matters such as the costs
associated with environmental matters, the outcome of negotiations, the number and cost of pending and future asbestos claims,
and the impact of evidentiary requirements. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, liabilities may
change in the future due to new developments (including new discovery of facts, changes in legislation, and outcomes of similar
cases through the judicial system), changes in assumptions, or changes in our settlement strategy. See Note 19 Commitments and
Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of management’s judgment applied in the
recognition and measurement of our environmental and asbestos liabilities, which represent our most significant contingencies.

CYBERSECURITY
Honeywell has a cybersecurity risk management program that is designed to assess, identify, manage, and govern material risks
from cybersecurity threats. Our cybersecurity risk management program is a key component of our overall risk management
program. Honeywell maintains cybersecurity policies and procedures in accordance with industry standard control frameworks and
applicable regulations, laws, and standards. Honeywell maintains oversight of its cybersecurity risk management program via a
corporate structure that includes a Cybersecurity Disclosure Committee, a Security Governance Council, the Audit Committee, and
the Board.
Honeywell’s Board is responsible for cybersecurity risk oversight and has delegated such oversight to the Audit Committee. The
Audit Committee, a committee comprised of independent Board members, four of whom have notable experience related to the
oversight of cybersecurity issues, is responsible for oversight of Honeywell’s information technology and cybersecurity risks and
regularly reports to the Board on information technology and cybersecurity matters. The Audit Committee oversees risk related to
the protection of customer and employee data, trade secrets, and other proprietary information, the security of data on the cloud,
persistent threats, and cybersecurity risks associated with the Company’s own products and facilities. As part of its cybersecurity
oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee receives regular updates from our Security Governance Council, which meets
quarterly or as needed and is led by our Chief Security Officer and includes members of senior executive leadership. In addition,
our Chief Security Officer provides updates directly to the Audit Committee at least twice a year or as needed. These updates cover
topics related to information security, privacy, cyber risks and risk management processes, including the status of significant
cybersecurity incidents, the emerging threat landscape, and the status of projects to strengthen the Company’s information security
posture. In addition, the Security Governance Council maintains a security program designed to monitor and track key security
performance indicators, which is periodically presented to senior leadership and the Audit Committee for review and oversight. As
noted above, assessing, identifying, and managing cybersecurity risks are integrated into our overall enterprise risk management
program. Cybersecurity-related risks are assessed and evaluated on a quarterly basis or as needed; the identified cybersecurity-
related risks are assessed and evaluated to determine whether any such risks have the potential to materially impact our business
operations, revenue, and expenditures and to understand the degree of such risks relative to other risks faced by Honeywell. Our
Chief Security Officer has served in various roles in information technology and information security for over 30 years, including
security-related roles in technology deployments, product development, product security, supply chain, and operations. He holds a
Bachelor of Science in computer science from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
In addition, Honeywell’s Cybersecurity Disclosure Committee receives updates at least quarterly or as needed from Honeywell’s
global security organization regarding cybersecurity incidents. The Cybersecurity Disclosure Committee includes Honeywell’s Chief
Information Security Officer, Chief Security Officer, and senior representatives from finance, controllership, internal audit, investor
relations, tax, and legal. Our governance, risk and compliance team, which is part of Honeywell’s enterprise security team, works in
partnership with the Company’s internal audit team to review cybersecurity and information technology-related internal controls as
part of our overall internal controls process. The Cybersecurity Disclosure Committee informs the Security Governance Council and
the Audit Committee of any cybersecurity incidents (if any) that have the potential to materially adversely impact the Company or
our information systems.
Our Chief Information Security Officer, who reports to our Chief Security Officer, oversees the global enterprise security team
responsible for leading enterprise-wide information security strategy, architecture, and processes. The enterprise information
security team reporting to our Chief Information Security Officer is responsible for infrastructure defense and security controls,
performing vulnerability assessments, security incident management, and defining the parameters and standards of our information
security risk management program. Honeywell has a comprehensive cybersecurity and information security risk management
program that includes risk assessment and mitigation through a threat intelligence-driven approach, application controls, and
security monitoring. The risk management program leverages International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) 22301
standards for business continuity and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cyber Security Framework (NIST
800-171) for measuring overall readiness to respond to cyber threats. Our Chief Information Security Officer has more than 20
years of experience in information technology and information security, particularly in the engineering and technology industries.
Our information security organization has more than 300 members, with expertise in: (i) application security, (ii) governance and
compliance, (iii) program and vulnerability management, (iv) security engineering, (v) identity and access management, (vi) security
operations security assurance, (vii) threat intelligence and security architecture, and (viii) incident response.
From time to time, in addition to performing periodic, internal security reviews/audits, Honeywell engages a third-party to assess
the adequacy of our risk management program, with the last such engagement occurring during the first quarter of 2022.

Honeywell International Inc.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Honeywell relies on third-party service providers for certain critical or key infrastructure, solutions, and services across our
operations. Honeywell has a third-party risk management program that assesses risks from vendors and suppliers that provide,
amongst other things, key information and supply chain services to Honeywell. In addition, the Company maintains business
continuity and disaster recovery plans as well as a cybersecurity insurance policy.
Honeywell has established cybersecurity and information security awareness training programs for employees. Formal training on
topics relating to the Company’s cybersecurity, data privacy and information security policies and procedures is mandatory for all
employees with access to the Company’s network. Training is administered and tracked through online learning modules.
Additionally, Honeywell periodically engages in cyber crisis response table-top simulations to assess Honeywell’s ability to adapt to
security-related threats. Improper or illegitimate use of the Company’s information system resources or violation of the Company’s
information security policies and procedures may result in disciplinary action.
To date, no risks from cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any previous cybersecurity incidents, have materially affected
or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business, our business strategy, our results of operations or financial condition. For
further information, see “Our business, reputation, and financial performance may be materially impacted by cybersecurity attacks
on our information technology infrastructure and products” in Item 1A, Risk Factors of this Annual Report. In the event an attack or
other intrusion were to be successful, we have a response team of internal and external resources engaged and prepared to
respond.
PROPERTIES
We have approximately 715 locations, of which 194 are manufacturing sites. Our properties and equipment are in good operating
condition and are adequate for our present needs. We do not anticipate difficulty in renewing existing leases as they expire or in
finding alternative facilities.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are subject to a number of lawsuits, investigations, and claims (some of which involve substantial amounts) arising out of the
conduct of our business. See a discussion of environmental, asbestos, and other litigation matters in Note 19 Commitments and
Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
There were no matters requiring disclosure pursuant to the requirement to disclose certain environmental matters involving
potential monetary sanctions in excess of $300,000.
MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
One of our wholly-owned subsidiaries has a placer claim for and operates a chabazite ore surface mine in Arizona. Information

AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY
SECURITIES
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) under the ticker symbol “HON.” We increased our quarterly
dividend rate by 5% to $1.08 per share of common stock effective with the fourth quarter 2023 dividend. We intend to continue to
pay quarterly dividends in 2024.
The number of record holders of our common stock at December 31, 2023, was 35,911.
Information regarding securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans is included in the section titled Security
Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters under the caption “Equity
Compensation Plans.”
On April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 billion of Honeywell common stock, including
approximately $2.1 billion of remaining availability under the previously announced $10 billion share repurchase authorization. The
repurchase authorization does not have an expiration date and may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any
time without prior notice.
Repurchases may be made through a variety of methods, which could include open market purchases, accelerated share
repurchase transactions, negotiated block transactions, 10b5-1 plans, other transactions that may be structured through investment
banking institutions or privately negotiated, or a combination of the foregoing. Honeywell presently expects to repurchase
outstanding shares from time to time (i) to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock-based compensation plans, including option
exercises, restricted unit vesting, and matching contributions under our savings plans, and (ii) to reduce share count via share
repurchases as and when attractive opportunities arise. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on
market conditions and the level of operating, financing, and other investing activities.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2023, Honeywell purchased 7,929,193 shares of its common stock, par value $1 per
share. As of December 31, 2023, $7.1 billion remained available under the share repurchase authorization for additional share
repurchases. The following table summarizes our purchases of Honeywell's common stock for the quarter ended December 31,

PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph compares the five-year cumulative total return on our common stock to the total returns on the Standard &
Poor's (S&P) 500 Stock Index, composite of S&P’s Industrial Conglomerates and Aerospace and Defense indices, on a 55%/45%
weighted basis (the Composite Index) and Nasdaq Industrial Select Sector (XLI Index). The weighting of the components of the
Composite Index are based on our segments’ relative contribution to total segment profit. The selection of the Industrial
Conglomerates component of the Composite Index reflects the diverse and distinct range of non-aerospace businesses conducted
by Honeywell. The annual changes for the five-year period shown in the graph are based on the assumption that $100 was
invested in Honeywell stock and each index on December 31, 2018, and that all dividends were reinvested.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. The following is a description of Honeywell’s significant accounting policies.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Honeywell International Inc. and all of its subsidiaries and entities
in which a controlling interest is maintained. The Company's consolidation policy requires equity investments that the Company
exercises significant influence over, but does not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities,
to be accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence
over the investee and which the Company does not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method.
All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Historically, the Company included Company-sponsored costs and costs that relate to contracts with customers for research and
development projects as a component of Cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began classifying Company-sponsored costs for research and development projects as a
separate financial statement line item, titled Research and development expenses, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations
and recast prior period results for this reclassification. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's net income, earnings
per share, cash flows, segment reporting, or financial position. The Company revised historical periods to reflect this change in
presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are
expected to have minimal impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flows
(Consolidated Financial Statements).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which
requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires additional information to be disclosed with
respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU should be applied
prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is
currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment
Disclosures, which requires companies to enhance the disclosures about segment expenses. The new standard requires the
disclosure of the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), expanded incremental line-item disclosures of significant
segment expenses used by the CODM for decision-making, and the inclusion of previous annual only segment disclosure
requirements on a quarterly basis. This ASU should be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023,
and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405): Disclosure of Supplier
Finance Program Obligations, to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. The new standard requires annual
disclosure of the key terms of the program, a description of where in the financial statements amounts outstanding under the
program are presented, a rollforward of such amounts, and interim disclosure of amounts outstanding as of the end of each period.
The guidance does not affect recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance programs. The ASU
is effective on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward, which is effective on January 1, 2024. The Company adopted this
guidance on January 1, 2023, with the exception of the rollforward that is effective on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this
standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract
Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination
to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with
Customers. This ASU should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date of December 15, 2022,
and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard does
not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate
Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting
principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition away from reference rates expected
to be discontinued to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic
848): Scope, to expand the scope of this guidance to include derivatives. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be
applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. In
December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848,
which extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU 2020-04 from December
31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The Company will apply the guidance to impacted transactions during the transition period. The
adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs for projects are expensed as incurred, unless these costs relate to contracts with customers
where the Company receives reimbursements. Amounts expensed as incurred for Company-sponsored research and development
projects are included in Research and development expenses and were $1,456 million, $1,478 million, and $1,333 million for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Costs related to contracts with customers for customer-sponsored
research and development projects are included as a contract cost and included in Cost of products and services sold when
revenue from such contracts is recognized, consistent with the Company's sales recognition policies. This revenue was
$1,303 million, $1,336 million, and $1,284 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Carrying value
adjustments for inventory obsolescence is equal to the difference between the cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is
the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and
transportation.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including any asset retirement obligations, less accumulated depreciation. For
financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings
and improvements and 3 to 16 years for machinery and equipment. Recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets is required when there is a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a
liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the corresponding asset’s useful life.
GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or if
a triggering event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing
compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value, not to
exceed the carrying value of goodwill. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of the fourth
quarter and determined there was no impairment as of that date. The Company is not aware of any additional triggering events.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)
(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
Prior to 2022, the Company performed its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment test as of the last day of the first quarter.
In 2022, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessment to the first day of the
fourth quarter. The Company believes this change does not represent a material change in method of applying an accounting
principle. This change has been applied prospectively as of the date of the change, as retrospective application is deemed
impracticable due to the inability to objectively determine the assumptions used in earlier periods without the benefit of hindsight.
This voluntary change is preferable under the circumstances as it results in better alignment with the timing of the Company’s
forecasting process and reduces the time period between the assessment date and annual financial statements. This change in
accounting principle does not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment of goodwill. In 2022, due to this change, the Company
performed annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests as of the last day of the first quarter and the first day of the fourth
quarter.
DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Other intangible assets with definite lives consist of customer relationships, patents and technology, trademarks, and other
intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 20 years.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
The Company capitalizes costs of software developed or obtained for internal use during the application development stage of a
project and amortizes those costs using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the software, not to exceed 7
years. Costs incurred during the preliminary and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Development costs for
software held for sale are capitalized once a project has reached the point of technological feasibility. Completed projects are
amortized after reaching the point of general availability using the straight-line method based on the expected useful life, not to
exceed 7 years. At each balance sheet date, or earlier if an indicator of an impairment exists, the Company evaluates the
recoverability of unamortized capitalized software costs based on estimated future undiscounted revenues net of estimated related
costs over the remaining amortization period. Capitalized software held for internal use and held for sale is included in Other assets
in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are
translated into U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates. Sales, costs, and expenses are translated at the average exchange
rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and
equipment, including related expenses, are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while
monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments for these subsidiaries
are included in earnings.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. For
derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the
hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the
derivatives are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the
hedged items impact earnings.
Derivative financial instruments designated as hedges must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure
at the inception of the contract. Changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value
of the underlying hedged item at inception and over the life of the hedge contract. Cash flows of such derivative financial
instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item. The Company elected to exclude the time value of the
derivatives (i.e., the forward points) from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and to recognize the initial value of the excluded
component in earnings using the amortization approach. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a net
investment hedge, the gain or loss is reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded in Accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss). The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged net
investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

LEASES
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on (i)
whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the
economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of
the asset.
All significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets
and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are not recorded for leases
with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases); however, lease expense for these leases is recognized as incurred
over the lease term.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term, and lease liabilities
represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend
or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments
over the lease term. Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are
included in determining the lease liability. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the
obligation for those payments are incurred. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial
direct costs and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease
term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on the information available at the lease
commencement date, in determining the present value of the lease payments. In determining the borrowing rate, the Company
considers the lease term, secured incremental borrowing rate, and for leases denominated in a currency different than the U.S.
dollar, the collateralized borrowing rate in the foreign currency using the U.S. dollar and foreign currency swap spread, when
available.
PENSION BENEFITS
The Company presents net periodic pension costs by disaggregating the service cost component of such costs and reports those
costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services
rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of such costs are required to be
presented separately from the service cost component.
The Company records the service cost component of Pension ongoing (income) expense in Cost of products and services sold,
Research and development expenses, and Selling, general and administrative expenses. The remaining components of costs
within Pension ongoing (income) expense, primarily interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recorded in Other
(income) expense. The Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan
assets or the plan's projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment). The MTM
Adjustment is also reported in Other (income) expense.
SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING
The Company maintains agreements with third-party financial institutions that offer voluntary supply chain financing (SCF)
programs to suppliers. The SCF programs enable suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables to third-party financial
institutions in order to receive payment on receivables earlier than the negotiated commercial terms between suppliers and the
Company. Supplier sale of receivables to third-party financial institutions is on terms negotiated between the supplier and the
respective third-party financial institution. The Company agrees on commercial terms for the goods and services procured from
suppliers, including prices, quantities, and payment terms, which normally range between 60 and 120 days, regardless of whether
the supplier elects to participate in the SCF programs. A suppliers’ voluntary participation in the SCF programs has no bearing on
the Company's payment terms and the Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF
programs. The Company agrees to pay participating third-party financial institutions the stated amounts of confirmed invoices from
suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices.
Amounts outstanding related to SCF programs are included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts
payable included approximately $1,112 million and $992 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The impact of
these programs is not material to the Company's overall liquidity.

SALES RECOGNITION
Product and service sales are recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services to its
customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring
goods or providing services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance, and engineering activities, are recognized
over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied
over time are recognized using either an input or output method. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company
performs on these contracts because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. With control transferring over time,
revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company generally
uses the cost-to-cost input method of progress for contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that
occurs as the Company incurs costs. Under the cost-to-cost input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured
based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The
Company reviews its cost estimates on significant contracts on a periodic basis, or when circumstances change and warrant a
modification to a previous estimate. Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms,
historical performance trends, and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence these estimates include inflationary
trends, technical and schedule risks, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset
utilization, and anticipated labor agreements. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when
such losses become evident, to the extent required.
The customer funding for costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering and development activities of the Company's products under
agreements with commercial customers is deferred and subsequently recognized as revenue as products are delivered to the
customers. Additionally, expenses incurred, up to the customer agreed funded amount, are deferred as an asset and recognized as
cost of sales when products are delivered to the customer. The deferred customer funding and costs result in recognition of
deferred costs (asset) and deferred revenue (liability) within Other assets and Accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet. Deferred contract fulfillment costs were approximately $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2023, and
2022, respectively. The amounts recognized as Cost of products and services sold were approximately $0.1 billion for the year
ended December 31, 2023, and $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Revenues for the Company's mechanical service programs are recognized as performance obligations that are satisfied over time,
with recognition reflecting a series of distinct services using the output method.
The terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, cash-
based incentives, rebates, performance awards, or credits. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely
amount the Company will receive from customers. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent
it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not occur, or when the
uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company's estimates of variable consideration and
determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the
Company's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the
Company.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The principal awards issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 15 Stock-Based
Compensation Plans, are non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units. The cost for such awards is measured at the grant
date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in Selling, general and
administrative expenses. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant to recognize expense for those awards expected to vest and
are based on the Company's historical forfeiture rates.
INCOME TAXES
Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. The Company establishes reserves for income taxes when, despite the
belief that tax positions are fully supportable, certain positions remain that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The
approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax
position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of
business, the Company and its subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. The Company
regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in
determining the adequacy of the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and
amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, the current tax liability, and deferred taxes in the period in
which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known. See Note 5 Income Taxes for additional information.

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

For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $2,070 million and $1,838 million,
respectively, that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.
Contract assets included $1,949 million and $2,265 million of unbilled balances under long-term contracts as of December 31,
2023, and 2022, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of customer contracts to which they relate.
When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, the Company considers whether
the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or
services and not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are
accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the
Company's measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue
(either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional
performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and
performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.
PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit
of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or
as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When the Company's contracts with customers require highly complex integration or
manufacturing services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, then the
entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. In situations when the Company's contracts include distinct
goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are
recognized as a series of distinct goods or services. For any contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company
allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling price
of each distinct good or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct
performance obligation. In such cases, the observable stand-alone sales are used to determine the stand-alone selling price.
Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time or over time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with
customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of
satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract.

Performance obligations recognized as of December 31, 2023 will be satisfied over the course of future periods. The Company's
disclosure of the timing for satisfying the performance obligation is based on the requirements of contracts with customers.
However, from time to time, these contracts may be subject to modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance
obligations. Performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 60% and 40%,
respectively.
The timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment.
Typical payment terms of the Company's fixed price over time contracts include progress payments based on specified events or
milestones or based on project progress. For some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment.
The Company applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance
obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes
revenue in proportion to the amount the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

Certain repositioning projects will recognize exit costs in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. Such exit costs incurred
in 2023, 2022, and 2021 were $62 million, $63 million, and $45 million, respectively.
OTHER CHARGES
In 2022, the Company recognized $295 million of Other charges related to the initial suspension and the wind down of our business
and operations in Russia. These costs impacted all reportable business segments, with the most significant impact within the
Performance Materials and Technologies reportable business segment. The Other charges include costs recorded in Cost of
products sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses, or Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of
Operations. Cost of products and services sold includes $65 million primarily related to inventory reserves and the write-down of
other assets, Selling, general and administrative includes $185 million primarily related to reserves against outstanding accounts
receivable and contract assets, impairment of intangible assets, the write-down of other assets, and employee severance, and
Other (income) expense includes $45 million related to foreign exchange revaluation on an intercompany loan with a Russian
affiliate, impairment of property, plant and equipment, and expenses for called guarantees. Directly attributable to our wind down of
businesses and operations in Russia, but excluded from Other charges, is a $2 million tax valuation allowance recorded to Tax
expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Given the uncertainty inherent in the Company's remaining obligations related to contracts with Russian counterparties, the
Company does not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these
matters (other than as specifically set forth above). Based on available information to date, the Company’s estimate of potential
future losses or other contingencies related to suspension and wind down activities, including any guarantee payments or any
litigation costs or as otherwise related to the Company's wind down in Russia, could adversely affect the Company's consolidated
results of operations in the periods recognized but would not be material with respect to the Company's consolidated financial
position. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of the recognition and measurement of estimate for
contingencies.

Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, Other charges include $41 million and $105 million, respectively,
of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the COVID-19
pandemic) relating to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business
segment. Certain of these costs incurred include amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized during 2022 and 2021
when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’ long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These
costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supply delays and the resulting downstream installation issues,
demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor disputes. These costs do not include normal
operational inefficiencies experienced during a challenging operating environment in 2022 and 2021.

Net of changes in valuation allowance.
Includes U.S. taxes on non-U.S. earnings, net of foreign tax credits.
2023 includes (3.6)% deferred tax benefit resulting from a non-U.S. legislative change, offset by 3.6% deferred tax expense resulting from a full valuation
allowance.
The effective tax rate decreased by 1.3 percentage points in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the increased benefit of taxes on non-U.S. earnings and lower expense related to unremitted withholding taxes on non-U.S.
earnings, partially offset by incremental tax expense for reserves. The Company’s 2023 non-U.S. effective tax rate was 25.3%, a
decrease of approximately 2.2 percentage points compared to 2022. The decrease in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily
attributable to increased benefit of taxes on non-U.S. earnings and lower expense related to unremitted withholding taxes on non-
U.S. earnings, partially offset by incremental tax expense for reserves.
The effective tax rate decreased by 0.4 percentage points in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily a result of
additional tax expense reported in 2021 arising from a valuation allowance established against a capital loss, partially offset by a
tax benefit related to restructuring transactions. In 2022, the valuation allowance was partially released as losses were utilized
against a capital gain. Additionally, in 2022, there was lower tax expense reported for contingencies as a result of the release of
certain state income tax reserves. The Company’s 2022 non-U.S. effective tax rate was 27.5%, an increase of approximately 1.5
percentage points compared to 2021. The increase in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a 2021 tax benefit
recorded for the release of a valuation allowance on net operating losses due to restructuring in Canada, which resulted in more
tax expense in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase was partially offset by lower tax expense recorded in 2022 related to tax
reserves when compared to 2021.

The Company's gross deferred tax assets include $1,378 million related to non-U.S. operations comprised primarily of net
operating losses and other tax attribute carryforwards in Canada, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, and the United
Kingdom. The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $1,176 million against a portion of the non-U.S. gross deferred tax
assets and a valuation allowance of $116 million against the U.S. gross deferred tax asset, primarily related to capital loss
carryovers. The change in the valuation allowance resulted in an increase of $458 million, a decrease of $8 million, and an
increase of $124 million to income tax expense in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The majority of the $458 million increase in
2023 tax expense relates to a $257 million valuation allowance resulting from uncertainty regarding the realizability of a
$257 million deferred tax asset established as a result of a non-U.S. tax legislative change. The remaining $201 million relates to
other tax attribute carryforwards. If the Company determines that the likelihood of realization of existing deferred tax assets
changes, a corresponding increase or decrease to valuation allowances will be recognized as an increase or reduction to income
tax expense in the period that determination is made.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $542 million deferred tax liability on all unremitted foreign earnings based on
estimated earnings and profits of approximately $15 billion as of the balance sheet date.

Based on the outcome of these examinations, or as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is
reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns will materially
change from those recorded as liabilities in the Company's financial statements. In addition, the outcome of these examinations
may impact the valuation of certain deferred tax assets (such as net operating losses) in future periods.
Unrecognized tax benefits for examinations in progress were $803 million, $640 million, and $592 million as of December 31, 2023,
2022, and 2021, respectively. Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a
component of Tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and totaled $74 million, $5 million, and $79 million for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties were $612 million, $557 million, and
$580 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

On May 17, 2023, the Company issued $750 million 4.25% Senior Notes due 2029 and $1.0 billion 4.50% Senior Notes due 2034
(collectively, the 2023 USD Notes). The Company may redeem the 2023 USD Notes at any time, and from time to time, in whole or
in part, at the Company's option at the applicable redemption price. The offering provided gross proceeds of $1.8 billion, offset by
$20 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.
On May 17, 2023, the Company issued €650 million 3.50% Senior Notes due 2027 and €500 million 3.75% Senior Notes due 2032
(collectively, the 2023 Euro Notes). The Company may redeem the 2023 Euro Notes at any time, and from time to time, in whole or
in part, at the Company's option at the applicable redemption price. The offering provided gross proceeds of $1.2 billion, offset by
$12 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.
The 2023 USD Notes and 2023 Euro Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally
with each other and with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of the Company's
subordinated debt. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuances for the repayment of commercial paper and
general corporate purposes.
On February 22, 2023, the Company repaid its 1.30% Euro notes due 2023.
On March 20, 2023, the Company entered into a $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement (the 364-Day Credit Agreement) and a
$4.0 billion amended and restated five-year credit agreement (the 5-Year Credit Agreement). The 364-Day Credit Agreement
replaced the $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement dated as of March 24, 2022, which was terminated in accordance with its terms
effective March 20, 2023. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March
18, 2024, unless (i) Honeywell elects to convert all then outstanding amounts into a term loan, upon which such amounts shall be
repaid in full on March 18, 2025, or (ii) the 364-Day Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The 5-Year Credit
Agreement amended and restated the previously reported $4.0 billion amended and restated five-year credit agreement dated as
of March 24, 2022. Commitments under the 5-Year Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the 5-Year Credit
Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $4.5 billion. The 364-Day Credit Agreement and 5-Year Credit Agreement are
maintained for general corporate purposes.
As of December 31, 2023, there were no outstanding borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement or 5-Year Credit Agreement.
On November 2, 2022, the Company issued $400 million 4.85% Senior Notes due 2024, $500 million 4.95% Senior Notes due
2028, and $1.1 billion 5.00% Senior Notes due 2033 (collectively, the 2022 USD Notes). The Company may redeem the 2022 USD
Notes at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company's option at the applicable redemption price. The
offering provided gross proceeds of $2.0 billion, offset by $22 million in discount and closing costs related to the offering.
On November 2, 2022, the Company issued €1.0 billion 4.125% Senior Notes due 2034 (the 2022 Euro Notes). The Company may
redeem the 2022 Euro Notes at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, at the Company's option at the applicable
redemption price. The offering provided gross proceeds of $990 million, offset by $17 million in discount and closing costs related
to the offering.
The 2022 USD Notes and 2022 Euro Notes are senior unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Company and rank equally
with each other and with all of the Company's existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior to all of the Company's
subordinated debt. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the issuance for general corporate purposes.
On August 8, 2022, the Company repaid its 2.15% and its Floating rate notes due 2022. On August 19, 2022, the Company repaid
its 0.483% notes due 2022.

NOTE 10. LEASES
A significant portion of the Company's operating and finance lease portfolio includes corporate offices, research and development
facilities, manufacturing sites, information technology equipment, and automobiles. The majority of the Company's leases have
remaining lease terms of 1 year to 20 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for 5 years or more. Operating
lease ROU assets are included in Other assets. The current portion of operating lease liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities,
and the non-current portion of operating lease liabilities are included in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance
lease ROU assets are included in Property, plant and equipment—net. The current portion of finance lease liabilities are included in
Current maturities of long-term debt, and the non-current portion of finance lease liabilities are included in Long-term debt in the
Consolidated Balance Sheet.
A portion of the Company's real estate leases are generally subject to annual changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The
changes to the CPI are treated as variable lease payments and recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments
was incurred. In addition, a subset of the Company's automobile leases are considered variable. The variable lease payments for
such automobile leases are based on actual mileage incurred at the stated contractual rate and recognized in the period in which
the obligation for those payments was incurred.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING
TRANSACTIONS
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks related to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates,
and commodity prices. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. To qualify as a
hedge, derivative financial instruments must be evaluated for hedge effectiveness at the inception of the contract and designated
as a hedge. Changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying
hedged item at inception and over the life of the hedge contract.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company operates a global business in a wide variety of foreign currencies. The Company's exposure to market risk for
changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from international trade. The Company's objective is to
preserve the U.S. Dollar value of foreign currency denominated cash flows and earnings. The Company monitors its collective
foreign currency exposure and enters into foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts (foreign currency exchange
contracts) with third parties, when necessary, to minimize the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Prior to conversion into U.S. Dollars,
these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. The Company recognizes effects
of changes in spot rates in Other (income) expense.
The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure. These contracts are marked-to-
market in net income and offset gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being
hedged. The Company also uses foreign currency contracts to hedge forecasted sales and purchases, which are denominated in
non-functional currencies. Changes in the forecasted non-functional currency cash flows due to movements in exchange rates are
substantially offset by changes in the fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts designated as hedges. Market value
gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. As of December 31,
2023, and 2022, the Company held contracts with notional amounts of $8,910 million and $10,545 million, respectively, to
exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Chinese Renminbi,
and Indian Rupee.
The Company also designates certain foreign currency debt and derivative contracts as hedges against portions of its net
investment in foreign operations. Gains or losses of the foreign currency debt and derivative contracts designated as net
investment hedges are recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company
uses a combination of financial instruments, including long-term, medium-term, and short-term financing, variable-rate commercial
paper, and interest rate swaps to convert the interest rate mix of the Company's total debt portfolio and related overall cost of
borrowing.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of nonperformance. Financial
instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk. In addition, the Company grants credit terms to
its customers in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company's credit sales are designed to mitigate or
eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. The Company's sales are not materially dependent on a single
customer or a small group of customers.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's operations subject the Company to risk related to the price volatility of certain commodities. To mitigate the
commodity price risk associated with the Company's operations, the Company may enter into commodity derivative instruments. In
both 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into various contracts to mitigate commodity price volatility. The Company elected to
apply hedge accounting to these contracts.

All Derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. All Derivative liabilities are presented in Accrued
liabilities or Other liabilities.
In addition to the foreign currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges, certain of the Company's foreign
currency denominated debt instruments are designated as net investment hedges. The carrying value of those debt instruments
designated as net investment hedges, which includes the adjustment for the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on those
instruments, was $6,099 million and $3,836 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedge relationships with gains or losses on the derivative recognized in Interest
and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying debt being hedged. Gains and losses on interest rate
swap agreements recognized in earnings were $121 million of income, $347 million of expense, and $135 million of expense for
the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gains and losses are fully offset by losses and gains on the
underlying debt being hedged.

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

The Company values foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, cross currency swap agreements, and
commodity contracts using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such,
these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds investments in commercial paper, certificates of
deposits, time deposits, and corporate debt securities that are designated as available for sale. These investments are valued
using published prices based on observable market data. As such, these investments are classified within level 2.
The Company holds certain available for sale investments in U.S. government securities and investments in equity securities. The
Company values these investments utilizing published prices based on quoted market pricing, which are classified within level 1.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper, and other
short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value.
As part of the NARCO Buyout (see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for definition), Honeywell holds a right to proceeds
from the definitive sale agreement pursuant to which HarbisonWalker International Holdings, Inc. (HWI), the reorganized and
renamed entity that emerged from the NARCO Bankruptcy, was acquired by an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (HWI Sale). The
right to these proceeds is considered a financial instrument. The significant input for the valuation of this right is unobservable, and
as such, is classified within level 3.
The HWI Sale closed on February 16, 2023. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, Honeywell received $275 million
of proceeds from the HWI Sale (HWI Net Sale Proceeds), of which $256 million was received during the first quarter of 2023 and
$19 million during the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a fair value
adjustment for the HWI Net Sale Proceeds and reduced the estimate by $11 million. The fair value of the remaining HWI Net Sale
Proceeds as of December 31, 2023, represents contingent consideration to be paid in future periods if certain conditions under the
definitive sale agreement for the HWI Sale are met.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of assets and liabilities that were accounted for at
fair value using level 3 measurements:

The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (2016 Plan) and 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee
Directors of Honeywell International Inc. (2016 Directors Plan) were both approved by the shareowners at the Annual Meeting of
Shareowners effective on April 25, 2016. At December 31, 2023, there were 28,946,133 and 781,768 shares of Honeywell common
stock available for future grants under terms of the 2016 Plan and 2016 Directors Plan, respectively.
STOCK OPTIONS
The exercise price, term, and other conditions applicable to each option granted under the Company's stock plans are generally
determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock
options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company's stock on that date. The
fair value is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award).
Options generally vest over a four-year period and expire after ten years.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected
volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock and historical volatility of the Company's common
stock. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time
options are expected to remain outstanding. Such model uses historical data to estimate option exercise activity and post-vest
termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve
in effect at the time of grant.

At December 31, 2023, there was $96 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.49 years. The total fair value of options vested for the
years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $48 million, $49 million, and $52 million, respectively.
RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Restricted stock unit (RSU) awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each unit when the units vest.
RSUs are issued to certain key employees and directors as compensation at fair market value at the date of grant. RSUs generally
become fully vested over periods ranging from three to six years and are payable in Honeywell common stock upon vesting.
Certain RSU awards are performance-based and awarded to eligible employees which entitle the grantee to receive shares of
common stock if specified Company performance goals are achieved during the performance period and if the grantee remains
employed through the vesting period.

$
(114)
The Company is authorized to issue up to 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $1. Common shareowners
are entitled to receive such dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors, are entitled to one vote per share, and are
entitled, in the event of liquidation, to share ratably in all the assets of the Company which are available for distribution to the
common shareowners. Common shareowners do not have preemptive or conversion rights. Shares of common stock issued and
outstanding or held in treasury are not liable to further calls or assessments. There are no restrictions on the Company relative to
dividends or the repurchase or redemption of common stock.
On April 24, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to a total of $10 billion of Honeywell common stock,
including approximately $2.1 billion of remaining availability under the previously announced $10 billion share repurchase
authorization. Approximately $7.1 billion and $2.9 billion remained available as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively, for
additional share repurchases.
Honeywell repurchased approximately 19.2 million and 21.9 million shares of its common stock during the years ended December
31, 2023, and 2022, for $3.7 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively.
The Company is authorized to issue up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock, without par value, and can determine the number
of shares of each series, and the rights, preferences, and limitations of each series. At December 31, 2023, there was no preferred
stock outstanding.

NOTE 19. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
The Company is subject to various federal, state, local, and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the
environment. The Company believes that, as a general matter, the Company's policies, practices, and procedures are properly
designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that the handling, manufacture, use, and
disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and regulations. However, mainly
because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, the Company, like other companies engaged in similar
businesses, incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and is a party to lawsuits and claims
associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production of products containing hazardous substances.
Additional lawsuits, claims, and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future.
With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, the Company continually conducts studies, individually or jointly
with other potentially responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques. It is the Company's policy to
record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the
costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to
complete the remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional
technical, regulatory, or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations,
enforcement policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology, and information related to individual sites, the
Company does not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of
the Company's recorded liabilities. The Company expects to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flows. The
timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of remedial investigations and feasibility studies,
the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of
cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized, and agreements with other parties.
The following table summarizes information concerning the Company's recorded liabilities for environmental costs:

The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of environmental liabilities to
be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation, or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs
associated with environmental matters can be determined, although they could be material to the Company's consolidated results
of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering the Company's past experience
and existing reserves, the Company does not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on its
consolidated financial position.
In conjunction with the Resideo spin-off, the Company entered into an indemnification and reimbursement agreement with a
Resideo subsidiary, pursuant to which Resideo’s subsidiary has an ongoing obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in
amounts equal to 90% of Honeywell’s annual net spending for environmental matters at certain sites as defined in the agreement.
The amount payable to Honeywell in any given year is subject to a cap of $140 million, and the obligation will continue until the
earlier of December 31, 2043, or December 31 of the third consecutive year during which the annual payment obligation is less
than $25 million.

(Dollars in tables in millions, except per share amounts)
Reimbursements associated with this agreement are collected from Resideo quarterly and were $140 million in both 2023 and
2022 and offset operating cash outflows incurred by the Company. As the Company incurs costs for environmental matters deemed
probable and reasonably estimable related to the sites covered by the indemnification and reimbursement agreement, a
corresponding receivable from Resideo for 90% of such costs is also recorded. This receivable amount recorded in 2023 and 2022
was $187 million and $157 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, Other current assets and Other assets included
$140 million and $521 million, respectively, for the short-term and long-term portion of the receivable amount due from Resideo
under the indemnification and reimbursement agreement. As of December 31, 2022, Other current assets and Other assets
included $140 million and $474 million, respectively, for the short-term and long-term portion of the receivable amount due from
Resideo under the indemnification and reimbursement agreement.

As of December 31, 2022, Accrued liabilities included the Buyout Amount, as described and defined below, agreed upon between Honeywell and the Trust. The
Buyout Amount does not represent an asbestos-related liability.
NARCO Products – NARCO manufactured high-grade, heat-resistant, refractory products for various industries. Honeywell’s
predecessor, Allied Corporation, owned NARCO from 1979 to 1986. Allied Corporation sold the NARCO business in 1986 and
entered into a cross-indemnity agreement which included an obligation to indemnify the purchaser for asbestos claims, arising
primarily from alleged occupational exposure to asbestos-containing refractory brick and mortar for high-temperature applications.
NARCO ceased manufacturing these products in 1980 and filed for bankruptcy in January 2002, at which point in time all then
current and future NARCO asbestos claims were stayed against both NARCO and Honeywell pending the reorganization of
NARCO. The Company established its initial liability for NARCO asbestos claims in 2002.
NARCO emerged from bankruptcy in April 2013, at which time a federally authorized 524(g) trust was established to evaluate and
resolve all existing NARCO asbestos claims (the Trust). Both Honeywell and NARCO are protected by a permanent channeling
injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos-related claims based
on exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing products to be made against the Trust (Channeling Injunction). The NARCO Trust
Agreement (TA) and the NARCO Trust Distribution Procedures (TDP) set forth the structure and operating rules of the Trust, and
established Honeywell’s evergreen funding obligations.
The operating rules per the TDP define criteria claimants must meet for a claim to be considered valid and paid. Once operational
in 2014, the Trust began to receive, process, and pay claims. In September 2021, Honeywell filed suit against the Trust in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania (Bankruptcy Court) alleging that the Trust breached its
duties in managing the Trust, including breaches of certain provisions of the TA and TDP. Honeywell's lawsuit sought appropriate
relief preventing the Trust from continuing these practices. The Trust also filed suit against Honeywell, alleging Honeywell breached
its obligations under the Trust's governing documents. Honeywell moved to dismiss the Trust’s suit, and on December 15, 2021,
the Bankruptcy Court granted Honeywell’s motion to dismiss subject to granting the Trust leave to file an amended complaint. On
December 28, 2021, the Trust filed an answer with counterclaims in response to Honeywell’s complaint and in lieu of filing an
amended complaint. The Bankruptcy Court conducted a trial on these matters during May 2022; following the trial, the Company
and the Trust began discussing a potential settlement of Honeywell’s remaining obligations to the Trust.
On November 18, 2022, Honeywell entered into a definitive agreement (Buyout Agreement) with the Trust, and on November 20,
2022, in exchange for the NARCO Trust Advisory Committee (TAC) and Lawrence Fitzpatrick, in his capacity as the NARCO
Asbestos Future Claimants Representative (FCR), becoming parties to the Buyout Agreement, Honeywell, the Trust, the TAC, and
the FCR entered into an Amended and Restated Buyout Agreement (Amended Buyout Agreement).
Pursuant to the terms of the Amended Buyout Agreement, Honeywell agreed to make a one-time, lump sum payment in the
amount of $1.325 billion to the Trust (Buyout Amount), subject to certain deductions as described in the Amended Buyout
Agreement and in exchange for the release by the Trust of Honeywell from all further and future obligations of any kind related to
the Trust and/or any claimants who were exposed to asbestos-containing products manufactured, sold, or distributed by NARCO or
its predecessors, including Honeywell’s ongoing evergreen obligation to fund (i) claims against the Trust, which comprise
Honeywell’s NARCO asbestos-related claims liability, and (ii) the Trust’s annual operating expenses, which are expensed as
incurred, including its legal fees (which operating expenses, for reference, were approximately $30 million in 2022) (such evergreen
obligations referred to in (i) and (ii), Honeywell Obligations) (the NARCO Buyout).
On December 8, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court issued an order that (A) approved the Amended Buyout Agreement, and (B) declared
that the NARCO Channeling Injunction (which bars all past, present, and future individual actions in state or federal courts based
on exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing products and requires all such claims to be made against the Trust) will remain in full
force and effect without modification, dissolution, or termination (Order).

On December 14, 2022, HWI, the reorganized and renamed entity that emerged from the NARCO bankruptcy, entered into a
definitive agreement (Sale Agreement) pursuant to which an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC agreed to acquire HWI (HWI Sale)
subject to the terms set forth in the Sale Agreement, including customary conditions to closing set forth therein. In accordance with
the Amended Buyout Agreement, the economic rights of the Trust in respect of the net proceeds from the HWI Sale inure to the
benefit of Honeywell.
On January 30, 2023, the Company paid the Buyout Amount to the Trust, the parties closed the transactions contemplated in the
Amended Buyout Agreement (Closing), and Honeywell was released from the Honeywell Obligations. Honeywell continues to have
the right to collect proceeds in connection with its NARCO asbestos-related insurance policies.
With the issuance of the Order, the Company derecognized the NARCO asbestos-related liability of $688 million from the
Consolidated Balance Sheet and recognized a charge of $1.325 billion in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and accrued a
corresponding liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheet for the Buyout Amount. In addition, the Company recognized a benefit of
$295 million in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and corresponding asset in Other current assets in the Consolidated
Balance Sheet for Honeywell's rights to the proceeds from the HWI Sale. The benefit of $295 million offset the charge for the
Buyout Amount.
On February 16, 2023, the HWI Sale closed. Pursuant to the Amended Buyout Agreement, during 2023, Honeywell received
$275 million of proceeds from the HWI sale. See Note 12 Fair Value Measurements for further information on the related proceeds
and remaining amount under the Amended Buyout Agreement.
Bendix Products – Bendix manufactured automotive brake linings that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form.

The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of asserted (claims filed as of the financial
statement date) and unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims, which exclude the Company’s ongoing legal fees to defend such
asbestos claims which will continue to be expensed as they are incurred.
The Company reflects the inclusion of all years of epidemiological disease projection through 2059 when estimating the liability for
unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims. Such liability for unasserted Bendix-related asbestos claims is based on historic and
anticipated claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and average resolution values in the tort system
over a defined look-back period. The Company historically valued Bendix asserted and unasserted claims using a five-year look-
back period. The Company reviews the valuation assumptions and average resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix
asserted and unasserted claims during the fourth quarter each year.

The Company experienced fluctuations in average resolution values year-over-year in each of the past five years with no well-
established trends in either direction. In 2023, the Company observed two consecutive years of increasing average resolution
values (2023 and 2022), with more volatility in the earlier years of the five-year period (2019 through 2021). Based on these
observations, the Company, during its annual review in the fourth quarter of 2023, reevaluated its valuation methodology and
elected to give more weight to the two most recent years by shortening the look-back period from five years to two years (2023 and
2022). The Company believes that the average resolution values in the last two consecutive years are likely more representative of
expected resolution values in future periods.
It is not possible to predict whether such resolution values will increase, decrease, or stabilize in the future, given recent litigation
trends within the tort system and the inherent uncertainty in predicting the outcome of such trends. The Company will continue to
monitor Bendix claim resolution values and other trends within the tort system to assess the appropriate look-back period for
determining average resolution values going forward.
In 2023, the Company recognized a $522 million expense and corresponding adjustment to its estimated liability for Bendix
asbestos-related claims. This amount includes $434 million attributable primarily to shortening the look-back period to the two most
recent years, and to a lesser extent to increasing expected resolution values for a subset of asserted claims to adjust for higher
claim values in that subset than in the modelled two-year data set.
The Company's insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of asserted and unasserted Bendix asbestos
claims reflects coverage which is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in
both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Based on the Company's ongoing analysis of the probable
insurance recovery, insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the
estimated liability for the underlying asbestos claims. This determination is based on the Company's analysis of the underlying
insurance policies, historical experience with insurers, ongoing review of the solvency of insurers, judicial determinations relevant
to insurance programs, and consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with the Company's insurers.
On October 31, 2018, David Kanefsky (Plaintiff), a Honeywell shareholder, filed a putative class action complaint in the U.S. District
Court for the District of New Jersey (the Court) alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 related to
the prior accounting for Bendix asbestos claims. An Amended Complaint was filed on December 30, 2019, and on February 7,
2020, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss. On May 18, 2020, the Court denied the Motion to Dismiss. On December 7, 2021,
the parties filed a Stipulation of Settlement (Settlement Agreement) and Plaintiff filed a motion for preliminary approval of the
Settlement Agreement, which included payment by Honeywell of $10 million to settle the claims in dispute. On January 18, 2022,
the Court approved the motion for preliminary approval of the Settlement Agreement. On May 3, 2022, the Court entered a final
judgment and order approving the Settlement Agreement and dismissed the action. Honeywell continues to believe the claims
lacked merit and has denied wrongdoing as well as any liability for the claims made against Honeywell in the action.
GARRETT LITIGATION AND BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS
In conjunction with the Garrett spin-off, the Company entered into a binding indemnification and reimbursement agreement (Garrett
Indemnity) and a binding tax matters agreement (Tax Matters Agreement) with Garrett and a Garrett subsidiary. On December 2,
2019, Garrett and Garrett ASASCO Inc. filed a Summons with Notice and commenced a lawsuit in the Commercial Division of the
Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York (the State Court), seeking to invalidate the Garrett Indemnity. Garrett
sought damages and a declaratory judgment based on various claims set forth in the Summons with Notice. On July 17, 2020, the
Company received a notice from Garrett asserting that the Company had caused material breaches of the Tax Matters Agreement
and that the Tax Matters Agreement was unenforceable.
On September 20, 2020, Garrett and 36 of its affiliates filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the Bankruptcy Court). On
September 24, 2020, Garrett moved the existing State Court litigation against Honeywell to the Bankruptcy Court. For the year
ended December 31, 2020, the Company reviewed the aggregate carrying value of the receivable amounts due in connection with
the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement and reduced the aggregate carrying value of the receivable by $509 million to
reflect the present value of the amounts owed to the Company over the full term of these agreements.
On April 26, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed Garrett’s amended Chapter 11 plan of reorganization (the Confirmed Plan), and
on April 30, 2021 (the Effective Date), Garrett emerged from bankruptcy. On the Effective Date, and in accordance with the
Confirmed Plan, (i) the Company received from Garrett an initial payment of $375 million and 834.8 million shares of Garrett's
Series B Preferred Stock in full and final satisfaction of the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement, (ii) the Garrett Indemnity
and Tax Matters Agreement were terminated, (iii) the Company and Garrett mutually released each other from the claims asserted
in all pending legal actions related to the Garrett Indemnity and Tax Matters Agreement, and (iv) all pending litigation between the
Company and Garrett in connection with those agreements was resolved.

The original Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation provided for mandatory redemptions by Garrett of $35 million in
2022 and $100 million per year from 2023 to 2030 (inclusive) at the anniversary of the Effective Date, unless (i) Garrett’s
consolidated EBITDA as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal year was less than $425 million, or (ii) Garrett did not
have sufficient funds available to pay the redemption, at which point the redemption amounts past due would accrue interest. The
Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation also included rights which allowed (a) the Company to put the Series B
Preferred Stock to Garrett if certain EBITDA conditions were met, and (b) Garrett to call the Series B Preferred Stock in whole or in
part if certain EBITDA conditions were met.
On September 30, 2021, Garrett filed an Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation (Amendment)
with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Amendment required Garrett to partially redeem a portion of the Series B Preferred
Stock on or before March 31, 2022, such that the present value of remaining outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock
would be $400 million (First Partial Redemption), subject to applicable law, including that Garrett had funds legally available for the
partial redemption. The First Partial Redemption would be applied to the latest scheduled redemption dates, beginning with the
shares to be redeemed in 2030. The Amendment also provided that the Company could not exercise its right to put the Series B
Preferred Stock to Garrett until after December 31, 2022, subject to the EBITDA conditions described in the above section, unless
the partial redemption did not occur on or before March 31, 2022. All other material terms and conditions in the Amendment were
unchanged from the original Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.
On December 16, 2021, Garrett filed a Second Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation
(Second Amendment) with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Second Amendment accelerated the First Partial Redemption
from March 31, 2022, to December 30, 2021, and allowed Garrett to partially redeem an additional portion of the Series B Preferred
Stock on or before March 31, 2022, such that the present value of remaining outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock
would be $207 million (Second Partial Redemption). The Second Partial Redemption is subject to similar terms as the First Partial
Redemption, including that Garrett had funds legally available for the partial redemption. However, the Second Partial Redemption
was also contingent upon Garrett completing the First Partial Redemption and either (i) increasing their revolving credit facility, or
(ii) the Garrett Board of Directors determining that Garrett otherwise had sufficient liquidity to effect the Second Partial Redemption.
The Second Partial Redemption would be applied to the earliest scheduled redemptions beginning with the shares to be redeemed
on April 30, 2022.
On December 17, 2021, Garrett announced their intention to effect the First Partial Redemption on December 28, 2021, in the
amount of $211 million. On December 28, 2021, Garrett paid $211 million for the amount due as the First Partial Redemption.
On February 18, 2022, Garrett early redeemed $197 million of the Series B Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Second Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation. Immediately following the early
redemption, the fair value of the Series B Preferred Stock was $207 million.
On June 28, 2022, Garrett early redeemed all remaining shares of the Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of $212 million,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Second Amended and Restated Series B Preferred Stock Certificate of Designation.
Following the redemption, the Series B Preferred Stock were no longer outstanding.
The Company recorded the Series B Preferred Stock at fair value at the Effective Date. See Note 12 Fair Value Measurements for
additional information on the fair value leveling of the Series B Preferred Stock.
PETROBRAS AND UNAOIL MATTERS
On December 19, 2022, the Company reached a comprehensive resolution to the investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice
(DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and certain Brazilian authorities (Brazilian Authorities) relating to the
Company's use of third parties who previously worked for the Company's UOP business in Brazil in relation to a project awarded in
2010 for Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras). The investigations focused on the Company’s compliance with the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act and similar Brazilian laws (UOP Matters). The comprehensive resolution also resolves DOJ and SEC
investigations relating to a matter involving a foreign subsidiary’s prior contract with Unaoil S.A.M. in Algeria executed in 2011 (the
Unaoil Matter).
In connection with the comprehensive resolution, (i) the Company agreed to pay a total equivalent of $202.7 million, which payment
occurred in January 2023, to the DOJ, the SEC, and the Brazilian Authorities, collectively, in penalties, disgorgement, and
prejudgment interest, (ii) the Company’s subsidiary, UOP, LLC (UOP), entered into a three-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement
(DPA) with the DOJ for charges related to the UOP Matters, (iii) UOP entered into leniency agreements with the Brazilian
authorities related to the UOP Matter in Brazil, and (iv) the Company entered into an agreement with the SEC that resolves
allegations relating to the UOP Matters and the Unaoil Matter. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company agreed to undertake
certain compliance measures and compliance reporting obligations. These agreements entirely resolve the Petrobras and Unaoil
investigations.

OTHER MATTERS
The Company is subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations, and disputes (some of which involve substantial amounts
claimed) arising out of the conduct of the Company's business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government
contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual property, and environmental,
health, and safety matters. The Company recognizes liabilities for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably
estimable. The Company continually assesses the likelihood of adverse judgments or outcomes in such matters, as well as
potential ranges of probable losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter
with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts.
Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations, the Company does not believe it is possible to develop estimates of
reasonably possible loss (or a range of possible loss) in excess of current accruals for commitment and contingency matters,
including those discussed in this Note 19. Considering the Company's past experience and existing accruals, the Company does
not expect the outcome of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject
to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the impact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause
the Company to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's consolidated results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid.
WARRANTIES AND GUARANTEES
In the normal course of business, the Company issues product warranties and product performance guarantees. The Company
accrues for the estimated cost of product warranties and performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical
experience at the time of sale. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes to the
obligations become reasonably estimable. The following table summarizes information concerning the Company's recorded
obligations for product warranties and product performance guarantees:

NOTE 20. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The Company sponsors a number of both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. Pension benefits
for many of the Company's U.S. employees are provided through non-contributory, qualified, and non-qualified defined benefit
plans. All non-union hourly and salaried employees joining Honeywell for the first time after December 31, 2012, are not eligible to
participate in Honeywell’s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The Company also sponsors defined benefit pension plans which
cover non-U.S. employees who are not U.S. citizens, in certain jurisdictions, principally the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and
Canada. Other pension plans outside of the U.S. are not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate.
The Company sponsors postretirement benefit plans that provide health care benefits and life insurance coverage mainly to U.S.
eligible retirees. None of Honeywell’s U.S. employees are eligible for a retiree medical subsidy from the Company. In addition, the
vast majority of Honeywell’s U.S. retirees either have no Company subsidy or have a fixed-dollar subsidy amount. This significantly
limits the Company's exposure to the impact of future health care cost increases. The retiree medical and life insurance plans are
not funded. Claims and expenses are paid from the Company's cash flows from operations.

The actuarial losses incurred in 2023 related to the Company's U.S. plans are primarily the result of a decrease in the discount rate assumption, as well as
changes in demographic experience and demographic assumptions used to estimate the benefit obligations as of December 31, 2023, compared to December
31, 2022. Actuarial losses incurred in 2023 related to the Company's non-U.S. plans are primarily the result of a decrease in the discount rate assumption,
partially offset by inflation related assumptions used to estimate the benefit obligations as of December 31, 2023, compared to December 31, 2022. Actuarial
gains incurred in 2022 related to the Company's U.S. plans are primarily the result of an increase in the discount rate assumption, partially offset by changes in
demographic experience and demographic assumptions used to estimate the benefit obligations as of December 31, 2022, compared to December 31, 2021.

The discount rate for the Company's U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans reflects the current rate at which the
associated liabilities could be settled at the measurement date of December 31. To determine discount rates for the Company's
U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, the Company uses a modeling process that involves matching the expected
cash outflows of the Company's benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high-quality, fixed income debt
instruments. The Company uses the single weighted average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark. The
Company utilizes a full yield curve approach in the estimation of the service and interest cost components of net periodic pension
benefit (income) for the Company's significant pension plans. This approach applies the specific spot rates along the yield curve
used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows and provides a more precise
measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and their corresponding spot
rates. For the Company's U.S. pension plans, the single weighted average spot rates used to determine service and interest costs
for 2024 are 5.06% and 4.89%, respectively. The discount rate used to determine the other postretirement benefit obligation is
higher principally due to a shorter expected duration of other postretirement plan obligations as compared to pension plan
obligations.
The Company plans to use an expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 7.00% for 2024, which represents an increase from
the 6.75% assumption used for 2023. The Company's asset return assumption is based on historical plan asset returns over
varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and broad asset mix considerations with a focus on long-term
trends rather than short-term market conditions. The Company reviews the expected rate of return on an annual basis and revises
it as appropriate.
For non-U.S. benefit plans, actuarial assumptions reflect economic and market factors relevant to each country.

The accumulated benefit obligation for the Company's U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $12.8 billion and $13.3 billion and for
the Company's non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans was $4.7 billion and $4.4 billion at December 31, 2023, and 2022,
respectively.
The Company's asset investment strategy for its U.S. pension plans focuses on maintaining a diversified portfolio using various
asset classes in order to achieve the Company's long-term investment objectives on a risk adjusted basis. The Company's long-
term target allocations are as follows: 45%-65% fixed income securities and cash, 25%-40% equity securities, 5%-10% real estate
investments, and 10%-20% other types of investments. Equity securities include publicly-traded stock of companies located inside
the United States. Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed
securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Real estate investments include direct investments in commercial properties and investments in
real estate funds. Other types of investments include investments in private equity that follow several different strategies. The
Company reviews its assets on a regular basis to ensure that the Company is within the targeted asset allocation ranges and, if
necessary, asset balances are adjusted back within target allocations.
The Company's non-U.S. pension assets are typically managed by decentralized fiduciary committees with the Honeywell
Corporate Investments group providing investment guidance. The Company's non-U.S. investment policies are different for each
country as local regulations and financial and tax considerations are part of the funding and investment allocation process in each
country.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”, certain investments that are
measured at fair value using the net asset value (NAV) per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been classified in
the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the following tables are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair
value hierarchy to the amounts presented for the total pension benefits plan assets.

The Company enters into futures contracts to gain exposure to certain markets. Sufficient cash or cash equivalents are held by the
Company's pension plans to cover the notional value of the futures contracts. At December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company's
U.S. plans had contracts with notional amounts of $4,025 million and $2,567 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, and
2022, the Company's non-U.S. plans had contracts with notional amounts of $124 million and $120 million, respectively. In both the
Company's U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans, the notional derivative exposure is related to outstanding equity and fixed income
futures contracts.
Common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts, and short-term investments are valued at the closing price
reported in the active market in which the individual securities are traded. Corporate bonds, mortgage/asset-backed securities, and
government securities are valued either by using pricing models, bids provided by brokers or dealers, quoted prices of securities
with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows, and as such, include adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable
such as credit and liquidity risks. Certain securities are held in collective trust funds which are valued using net asset values
provided by the administrators of the funds. Investments in private equity, debt, real estate and hedge funds, and direct private
investments are valued at estimated fair value based on quarterly financial information received from the investment advisor and/or
general partner. Investments in real estate properties are valued on a quarterly basis using the income approach. Valuation
estimates are periodically supplemented by third party appraisals. The insurance buy-in contracts represent policies held by the
Honeywell UK Pension Scheme, whereby the cost of providing pension benefits to plan participants is funded by the policies. The
cash flows from the policies are intended to match the pension benefits. The fair value of these policies is based on an estimate of
the policies' exit price.
The Company's funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to satisfy
regulatory funding standards. In 2023, 2022, and 2021, the Company was not required to make contributions to the U.S. pension
plans and no contributions were made. The Company is not required to make any contributions to the U.S. pension plans in 2024.
In 2023, contributions of $12 million were made to the non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. In 2024,
the Company expects to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $12 million to the non-U.S.
pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards. Contributions for both the U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans do not reflect
benefits paid directly from Company assets.

NOTE 22. SEGMENT FINANCIAL DATA
Honeywell globally manages its business operations through four reportable business segments. Segment information is consistent
with how management reviews the businesses, makes investing and resource allocation decisions, and assesses operating
performance.
Honeywell’s senior management evaluates segment performance based on segment profit. Each segment’s profit is measured as
segment income (loss) before taxes excluding general corporate unallocated expense, interest and other financial charges, stock
compensation expense, pension and other postretirement income (expense), repositioning and other charges, and other items
within Other (income) expense.
In October 2023, the Company announced a realignment, effective in the first quarter of 2024, of its business units comprising its
Performance Materials and Technologies, and Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business segments by forming two new
reportable business segments: Industrial Automation, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions. Industrial Automation will include
Sensing and Safety Technologies, Productivity Solutions and Services, and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions, which are
currently included in Safety and Productivity Solutions, in addition to Process Solutions, which is currently included in Performance
Materials and Technologies. Energy and Sustainability Solutions will include UOP and Advanced Materials, which are currently
included in Performance Materials and Technologies. Further, as part of the realignment, the Company will rename its Aerospace
and Honeywell Building Technologies reportable business segments to Aerospace Technologies and Building Automation,
respectively. Following the realignment, the Company’s reportable business segments will be Aerospace Technologies, Industrial
Automation, Building Automation, and Energy and Sustainability Solutions. The realignment will not impact the Company’s
historical consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The Company expects to report its financial
performance based on this realignment effective with the first quarter of 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED
PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the shareowners and the Board of Directors of Honeywell International Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Honeywell International Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company"
or “Honeywell”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive
income, shareowners’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related
notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial
reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment
the internal control over financial reporting at Compressor Controls Corporation, which was acquired on June 30, 2023, and whose
financial statements constitute less than 1% of net and total assets, revenues, and net income, respectively, of the consolidated
financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal
control over financial reporting at Compressor Controls Corporation.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the
Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“generally accepted accounting principles”). Also, in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated
Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial
reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the
audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to
error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included
examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included
evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability
of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain
to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets
of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are
being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable
assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that
could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also,
projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate
because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are
material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we
are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the
accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Revenue Recognition and Contracts with Customers – Long-Term Contracts – Refer to Note 1 and Note 3
to the financial statements
Critical Audit Matter Description
The Company has several businesses which enter into long-term contracts whereby revenue is recognized over the contract term
(“over time”) as the work progresses and control of the goods and services are continuously transferred to the customer. Revenue
for these contracts is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion, generally measured by using a cost-to-cost
input method.
Accounting for long-term contracts requires management’s judgment in estimating total contract costs. Contract costs, which can
be incurred over several years, are largely determined based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms and consider
factors such as historical performance trends, inflationary trends, technical and schedule risk, internal and subcontractor
performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization and anticipated labor agreements.
Given the significance of the judgments necessary to estimate costs associated with these long-term contracts (which varies upon
the length of the contract), auditing long-term contracts requires a high degree of auditor judgment.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
Our audit procedures related to long-term contracts included the following, among others:
• We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over the recognition of revenue and the determination of estimated contract
costs including controls over the review of management’s assumptions and key inputs used to recognize revenue and costs on
long-term contracts using the cost-to-cost input method.
• We evaluated the appropriateness and consistency of management’s methods and assumptions used to recognize revenue and
costs on long-term contracts using the cost-to-cost input method to recognize revenue over time.
• We tested recorded revenue using a combination of analytical procedures and detailed contract testing.
• We profiled the population of long-term contracts with longer duration and evaluated a selection of loss contracts or contracts
with significant gross margin changes against historical performance to assess management’s ability to achieve estimates and to
identify potential bias in the recognition of revenue over time.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Honeywell management maintains disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the
specified time periods and accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have been no changes that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting that have
occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Our management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act) as of December 31, 2023. Based on these
evaluations, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023.
MANAGEMENT'S REPORT ON INTERNAL
CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Honeywell management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting and for its
assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).
Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management
and Board of Directors regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external
purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Management assessed the effectiveness of Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In
making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).
Based on this assessment, management determined that Honeywell maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2023.
Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31,
2023, excluded Compressor Controls Corporation, which was acquired by the Company on June 30, 2023. The total revenues, net
income, and net and total assets of Compressor Controls Corporation represents less than 1% each of the related consolidated
financial statement amounts as of December 31, 2023.
The effectiveness of Honeywell’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 has been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included in the section titled
Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Equity compensation plans approved by shareowners which are included in column (a) of the table are the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan and the 2011 Stock
Incentive Plan (including 13,246,624 shares of Common Stock to be issued for options; 2,110,539 RSUs subject to continued employment; 201,130 RSUs at
target level and subject to company performance metrics and continued employment; and 265,530 deferred RSUs); and the 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee
Directors and the 2006 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (including 170,176 shares of Common Stock to be issued for options; and 3,104 RSUs subject to
continued services, and 3,458 deferred RSUs). RSUs included in column (a) of the table represent the full number of RSUs awarded and outstanding whereas
the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon vesting will be lower than what is reflected on the table because the value of shares required to meet
employee tax withholding requirements are not issued.
Because the number of future shares that may be distributed to employees participating in the Honeywell Global Stock Plan is unknown, no shares attributable
to that plan are included in column (a) of the table above.
Column (b) relates to stock options and does not include any exercise price for RSUs because an RSU’s value is dependent upon attainment of certain
performance goals and/or continued employment or service and they are settled for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
The number of shares that may be issued under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan as of December 31, 2023, is 28,946,133, which includes the following additional
shares that may again be available for issuance: shares that are settled for cash, expire, are canceled, or under similar prior plans, are tendered as option
exercise price or tax withholding obligations, are reacquired with cash option exercise price or with monies attributable to any tax deduction to Honeywell upon
the exercise of an option, or are under any outstanding awards assumed under any equity compensation plan of an entity acquired by Honeywell. No securities
are available for future issuance under the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan.
The number of shares that may be issued under the Honeywell Global Stock Plan as of December 31, 2023, is 1,450,549. This plan is an umbrella plan for three
plans described below maintained solely for eligible employees of participating non-U.S. countries.
• The UK Sharebuilder Plan allows an eligible UK employee to invest taxable earnings in Common Stock. The Company matches those shares and
dividends paid are used to purchase additional shares of Common Stock. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 240,267 shares were credited to
participants’ accounts under the UK Sharebuilder Plan.
• The Honeywell Aerospace Ireland Share Participation Plan allows eligible Irish employees to contribute a percentage of base pay and/or bonus that is
invested in Common Stock. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 685 shares of Common Stock were credited to participants’ accounts under these
plans.
• The remaining 781,768 shares included in column (c) are shares remaining under the 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors.
4
Equity compensation plans not approved by shareowners included in the table refer to the Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Supplemental Savings Plan.
The Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Supplemental Savings Plan for certain highly compensated employees is an unfunded, non-tax qualified plan that
provides benefits equal to the employee deferrals and Company matching allocations that would have been provided under Honeywell’s U.S. tax-qualified
savings plan if the Internal Revenue Code limitations on compensation and contributions did not apply. The Company matching contribution is credited to
participants’ accounts in the form of notional shares of Common Stock. The notional shares are distributed in the form of actual shares of Common Stock. The
number of shares to be issued under this plan based on the value of the notional shares as of December 31, 2023, is 144,884.
5
6
Column (b) does not include any exercise price for notional shares allocated to employees under Honeywell’s equity compensation plans not approved by
shareowners because all of these shares are only settled for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis.
The amount of securities available for future issuance under the Honeywell Excess Benefit Plan and Supplemental Savings Plan is not determinable because
the number of securities that may be issued under this plan depends upon the amount deferred to the plan by participants in future years.

DIVIDENDS/SHAREOWNER MATTERS
Honeywell’s Dividends Reinvestment and Share Repurchase Plan
provides for automatic reinvestment of common stock dividends
at market price. Participants also may add cash for the purchase
of additional shares of common stock without payment of any
brokerage commission or service charge. Honeywell offers
Direct Registration, or paperless stock ownership. This means
that instead of getting a paper stock certificate to represent
your shares, your shares are held in your name and tracked
electronically in our records.
The company has established a Direct Deposit of Dividends
service enabling registered shareowners to have their quarterly
dividend payments sent electronically to their bank accounts on
the payment date.
For more information on these services or for answers to
questions about dividend checks, stock transfers, or other
shareowner matters, please contact Honeywell’s transfer agent
and registrar:
