Exhibit 99
UTC REPORTS SECOND QUARTER EPS OF $1.05,
EXPECTS 2009 EPS OF $4.00 - $4.20 ON $53 BILLION OF REVENUE
HARTFORD, Conn., July 21, 2009 – United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) today reported second quarter 2009 earnings per share of $1.05 and net income attributable to common shareowners of $976 million, down 20 percent and 23 percent, respectively, over the year ago quarter. Results for the current quarter include $0.22 per share in restructuring costs and $0.06 per share from a one time gain. Earnings per share in the year ago quarter included $0.06 in restructuring costs. Before these items, earnings per share declined 12 percent year over year. Adverse foreign currency translation and currency hedges at Pratt & Whitney Canada totaled $0.11 per share in the second quarter of 2009.
Revenues for the quarter at $13.2 billion were 17 percent below prior year reflecting organic decline (11 points), adverse foreign currency translation (5 points), and net divestitures (1 point). Segment operating margin at 13.0 percent was 90 basis points below prior year. Adjusted for restructuring costs and the one time gain, segment operating margin was 50 basis points higher than prior year. Cash flow from operations was $1.5 billion, including $401 million of domestic pension contributions. Capital expenditures were $173 million in the quarter.
“UTC’s operating performance reflects solid execution in the face of difficult market conditions,” said Louis Chênevert, UTC President and Chief Executive Officer. “Benefits from cost reduction actions, including restructuring, accelerated in the quarter and substantially offset the impact of a $2.7 billion revenue decline. All business units achieved double digit operating margins, with four of six – Otis, UTC Fire & Security, Sikorsky and Pratt & Whitney – increasing margins by 100 basis points or more, excluding restructuring costs and the one time gain.” Chênevert continued, “Cash flow from operations less capital expenditures substantially exceeded net income attributable to common shareowners for the quarter. A relentless focus on working capital across the businesses drove this performance.”
New equipment orders at Otis declined 42 percent over the year ago quarter, including 4 points from the stronger dollar. On the same basis, Carrier’s commercial HVAC new equipment orders were down 26 percent, including 6 points from the stronger dollar. Commercial spares orders were down 25 percent at Pratt & Whitney’s large engine business and down 14 percent at Hamilton Sundstrand.
“The year over year rate of decline in orders across the business appears to have stabilized, although orders remain lower than previously anticipated,” Chênevert stated. “We now expect full year revenues to be $53 billion, $2 billion lower than our earlier expectations. In spite of lower revenues, we reaffirm the bottom end of our earlier 2009 EPS guidance of $4.00 based on higher savings from cost actions and the favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar. We are tightening the EPS range with the top end at $4.20, compared with $4.50 previously, for an expected EPS range of $4.00 to $4.20, excluding the impact of acquisition related costs resulting from the application of SFAS 141(R). This range continues to include $750 million of restructuring spend and now assumes one time gains of $200 million, at the low end of our prior range of $200 to $350 million.
“We expect UTC’s cash flow from operations less capital expenditures to meet or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners for the year,” Chênevert added. “Our aggressive cost actions are positioning UTC to outperform even in this environment and resume earnings growth in 2010.”
The accompanying tables include information integral to assessing the company’s financial position, operating performance, and cash flow.

Consolidated results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009 include the following non-recurring items.
Q2-2009
Otis: An approximately $52 million non-cash, non-taxable gain realized on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture as a result of the purchase of a controlling interest.
Q1-2009
Income Taxes: Favorable tax impact of approximately $25 million related to the formation of a commercial venture.
The following page provides segment revenues, operating profit and operating profit margins as adjusted for restructuring and the aforementioned non-recurring items. Management believes these adjusted results more accurately portray the ongoing operational performance and fundamentals of the underlying businesses. The amounts and timing of restructuring 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 level of expected restructuring announced in 2009 of $750 million (of which $464 million has been recorded to date), is significantly in excess of that incurred in prior years and reflects the severity of the current global recession. These amounts have therefore been adjusted out in the following schedule in order to provide a more representative comparison of current year operation performance to prior year performance.

Free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, is the principal cash performance measure used by the Company. Management believes free cash flow provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Corporation’s ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of the Corporation’s Common Stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Others 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 above.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
| (1) | Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation as required by the implementation of SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (SFAS 160) and Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-1, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (EITF 07-1). We adopted SFAS 160 and EITF 07-1 as of January 1, 2009. Certain provisions of SFAS 160 are required to be adopted retrospectively for all periods presented. Such provisions include a requirement that the carrying value of noncontrolling interest (previously referred to as minority interest) be removed from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet and reclassified as equity; and consolidated net income to be recast to include net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. EITF 07-1 shall be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. This Issue requires that participants in a collaborative arrangement report costs incurred and revenues generated from these transactions on a gross basis and in the appropriate line item in each company’s financial statement. Under this issue, revenues were increased approximately $194 million and $277 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 and $414 million and $534 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, with an offsetting increase to cost of sales to reflect the collaborators’ share of revenues on a gross basis. Additionally, both accounts receivable and accounts payable were increased by $368 million as of December 31, 2008 in order to reflect the amounts owed to our collaborative partners for their share of revenues on a gross basis. |
| (2) | 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. |
| (3) | Organic 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. Not included within organic growth for 2009 is a non-recurring item of approximately $52 million related to a non-cash, non-taxable gain realized on the remeasurement to fair value of a previously held equity interest in a joint venture as a result of the purchase of a controlling interest. |
