Full Transcript OPERATOR Good morning.

Thank you for standing by and welcome to the Honeywell Intl second quarter 2026 earnings conference call.

At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode.

After the speaker's presentation there will be a question and answer session.

Please be advised that today's call is being recorded.

I would now like to hand the call over to Mark Macaluso, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations.

Mark Macaluso, Senior Vice President of Investor Relations Thank you.

Good morning and welcome to Honeywell Intl second quarter 2026 earnings conference call.

Joining me today are Honeywell Intl Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Vimal Kapur and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Mike Stepniak.

This webcast and the presentation materials, including non-GAAP reconciliation, are available on our Investor Relations website.

From time to time we post new information on the Investor Relations website that may be of interest or material to our investors.

Our discussion today include forward-looking statements that are based on our best view of the world and of our businesses as we see them today and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including those described in our recent SEC filings.

This morning we will review financial results for Honeywell Intl for the second quarter of 2026 and discuss our updated guidance.

And as always, we'll leave time for your questions at the end.

I would also like to take a moment to remind our audience that the 2026 results and guidance we will present today exclude results from Honeywell Aerospace following the spinoff on June 29.

Additionally, our guidance reflects both the completion of the Johnson Matthey Catalyst Technologies acquisition as of July 17, as well as the anticipated closures of the productivity and warehouse divestitures which we now expect by early August.

Pension income and the results of Quantinuum have also been removed from our adjusted results in all prior and future periods.

Finally, adjusted EPS for Honeywell Intl now reflects the impact of the 1-for-2 reverse stock split.

You'll find a summary of these changes on slide 3.

With that, it's my pleasure to turn the call over to Vimal who will begin on slide four.

Vimal Kapur, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Thank you Mark and good morning.

The second quarter marked an important milestone for Honeywell Intl as we began our next chapter as a pure play automation company.

At Investor Day, we laid out our go-forward strategy of growing and monetizing installed base through outcome-based services, software and new product innovation.
