UTC REPORTS 14 PERCENT FOURTH QUARTER EPS GROWTH ON 6 PERCENT HIGHER SALES;

AFFIRMS 2011 OUTLOOK

HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 26, 2011 – United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) today reported fourth quarter 2010 earnings per share of $1.31, up 14 percent over prior year. Results for the current and prior year quarters included net charges for restructuring and one-time items of $0.03 and $0.08 per share, respectively. Before these charges, earnings per share increased 9 percent year over year. Currency hedges at Pratt & Whitney Canada, net of all foreign exchange translation, contributed $0.02 to the earnings per share increase.

Consolidated sales for the quarter of $14.9 billion were 6 percent above prior year, including 6 percent of organic growth. Net income attributable to common shareowners of $1.2 billion increased 12 percent year over year. Cash flow from operations was $1.7 billion, including $600 million of global pension contributions. Capital expenditures were $386 million in the quarter.

Full year earnings per share of $4.74 and net income attributable to common shareowners of $4.4 billion increased 15 and 14 percent, respectively, from 2009 results. Consolidated sales of $54.3 billion were 4 percent above prior year including organic growth (2 points), net acquisitions (1 point), and foreign currency translation (1 point). On a reported basis, segment operating margin at 14.6 percent was 140 basis points higher than prior year, with five of six segments above 10 percent operating margins. Adjusted for restructuring and one-time items, segment operating margin of 15.4 percent was 100 basis points higher than prior year. Cash flow from operations was $5.9 billion, including $1.3 billion of global pension contributions. Capital expenditures were $865 million for the year.

“UTC’s fourth quarter results reflect strong sales growth, particularly in the commercial aerospace aftermarket and shorter cycle Carrier businesses,” said Louis Chênevert, UTC Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. “Our proactive focus on structural cost reduction resulted in solid conversion on higher sales and exceptional margin expansion for the year. For the first time in UTC’s history, all six business units delivered double digit operating margins for the full year, adjusted for restructuring and one-time items. In typical UTC fashion, cash generation was strong in the quarter and throughout the year.”


New equipment orders at Otis were up 11 percent over the year ago fourth quarter. Commercial HVAC new equipment orders at Carrier grew 21 percent including favorable foreign exchange of 1 point. Commercial spares orders at Pratt & Whitney’s large engine business grew 45 percent and at Hamilton Sundstrand were up 31 percent over the year ago fourth quarter.

“End markets are recovering consistent with our expectations, supporting our 2011 sales outlook of $56 billion to $57 billion,” Chênevert continued. “We expect our strong operating leverage will drive further margin expansion and will allow us to deliver earnings growth of 7 percent to 13 percent with 2011 earnings per share of $5.05 to $5.35, even as we increase investment in transformational technologies.

“We again expect cash flow from operations less capital expenditures to equal or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners in 2011. Share repurchase is expected to be $2.5 billion and our acquisition placeholder is $1.5 billion,” Chênevert added.

Share repurchase in the fourth quarter was $556 million and totaled $2.2 billion for the year. Acquisition spending was $207 million in the quarter and $2.8 billion for the year.

The accompanying tables include information integral to assessing the company’s financial position, operating performance, and cash flow, including a reconciliation of differences between non-GAAP measures used in this release and the comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Non-Recurring Items

Consolidated results for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 include the following non-recurring items:

Q4-2010

Carrier: Approximately $18 million net gain resulting from dispositions associated with Carrier’s ongoing portfolio transformation.

Eliminations and other: Approximately $21 million non-cash, non-taxable gain recognized on the remeasurement to fair value of our previously held equity interest in Clipper Windpower Plc (Clipper), a California-based wind turbine manufacturer, resulting from our purchase of a controlling interest (all remaining shares) in Clipper.

Income tax expense: Approximately $38 million favorable net tax benefit associated with management’s decision to repatriate additional foreign cash to the U.S. in 2010 and 2011.

Income tax expense: Approximately $55 million net tax benefit associated with the completion of the acquisition of all remaining shares of Clipper in December 2010.

Eliminations and other: Approximately $159 million other-than-temporary impairment charge of our equity investment in Clipper.

Q2-2010

Carrier: Approximately $47 million net charge resulting from dispositions associated with Carrier’s ongoing portfolio transformation. Included in this net charge is an approximately $58 million asset impairment charge associated with the expected disposition of a business, partially offset by an approximately $11 million gain on the sale of another business.

Hamilton Sundstrand: Approximately $28 million of asset impairment charges related primarily to the expected disposition of an aerospace business as part of Hamilton Sundstrand’s ongoing low cost sourcing initiatives.

Interest expense, net: Favorable pre-tax interest adjustment of approximately $24 million associated with the resolution of an uncertain temporary tax item in the quarter.

Q4-2009

Interest expense, net: Approximately $17 million of favorable pre-tax interest adjustments related to global tax examination activity in the quarter, primarily reflecting the completion of our review of the 2004 to 2005 Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit report.

Income tax expense: Favorable income tax adjustments of approximately $38 million based on global examination activity in the quarter, including completion of our review of the 2004 to 2005 IRS audit report.

Income tax expense: Approximately $32 million adverse tax impact associated with a foreign reorganization.

Q2-2009

Otis: Approximately $52 million non-cash, non-taxable gain recognized on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture resulting from the purchase of a controlling interest.

Q1-2009

Income tax expense: Favorable tax impact of approximately $25 million related to the formation of a commercial venture.

The following page provides segment net sales, operating profits and operating profit margins as adjusted for the aforementioned non-recurring items, restructuring and other costs. Management believes these adjusted results more accurately portray the ongoing operational performance and fundamentals of the underlying businesses. The amount and timing of restructuring and other costs and non-recurring activity can vary substantially from period to period with no assurances of comparable activity or amounts being incurred in future periods. The amount of restructuring and other costs in 2009 was significantly in excess of that incurred in prior years as well as the levels incurred in 2010 and reflected the severity of the global recession. These amounts have therefore been adjusted out in the following schedule in order to provide a more representative comparison of current year operating performance to prior year operating performance.

Free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, is the principal cash performance measure used by UTC. Management believes free cash flow provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing UTC’s ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of UTC’s common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Other companies that use the term free cash flow may calculate it differently. The reconciliation of net cash flow provided by operating activities, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, to free cash flow is shown above.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1) Debt to total capitalization equals total debt divided by total debt plus equity. Net debt to net capitalization equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by total debt plus equity less cash and cash equivalents.

 

(2) Organic sales growth represents the total reported increase within the Corporation’s ongoing businesses less the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and significant non-recurring items.

 

(3) We previously reported “Other income, net,” which included “Interest income,” as a component of “Revenues.” “Other income, net,” excluding “Interest income,” is now reflected as a component of “Costs, Expenses and Other,” while “Interest income” is now netted with “Interest expense” for financial statement presentation.
