MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced its results for the first quarter of 2013:

Total Honeywell
($ Millions, except Earnings Per Share)	1Q 2012	1Q 2013	Change
Sales	9,307	9,328	~ flat

Segment Margin	15.2%	16.2%	100 bps
Operating Income Margin	12.9%	14.1%	120 bps

Earnings Per Share	$1.04	$1.21	16%

Cash Flow from Operations	196	341	74%

* Free Cash Flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) prior to cash pension contributions

"Honeywell delivered better than expected quarterly earnings and margins even in a continued slow global growth environment," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. "We had strong productivity in the quarter, and our balanced portfolio of both short- and long-cycle businesses continues to drive our outperformance. As a result of our strong start to 2013, we're raising the low-end of our full-year earnings guidance by five cents. We're achieving these results in a slow growth environment while also maintaining our seed planting for the future by investing in new products and technologies, geographic expansion, and driving our key process initiatives. And, it will continue. It's what will help Honeywell deliver top-tier earnings performance this year and over the long-term."

First quarter 2013 earnings per share (EPS) reflects a 23.1% effective tax rate compared to 26.5% last year. Using the expected full-year tax rate of 26.5%, EPS growth would have been 12%.

The company is updating its full-year 2013 sales and EPS guidance and now expects:

First Quarter Segment Performance

Aerospace
($ Millions)	1Q 2012	1Q 2013	% Change
Sales	2,950	2,911	(1%)
Segment Profit	534	551	3%
Segment Margin	18.1%	18.9%	80 bps

Sales were down (1%) compared with the first quarter of 2012 driven by a (1%) decline in our Commercial businesses primarily driven by higher than normal prior year shipments to commercial airline and BGA original equipment customers, and a (1%) decline in Defense and Space, as expected.
Segment profit was up 3%, and segment margins expanded 80 bps to 18.9%, primarily due to commercial excellence and productivity net of inflation (including prior year impact of customer bankruptcy), partially offset by lower aftermarket volumes.

Automation and Control Solutions
($ Millions)	1Q 2012	1Q 2013	% Change
Sales	3,788	3,786	~ flat
Segment Profit	491	523	7%
Segment Margin	13.0%	13.8%	80 bps

Sales were approximately flat on both a reported and organic basis compared with the first quarter of 2012. Energy, Safety, and Security sales were up primarily due to growth in ECC and Security products, partially offset by lower sales in Process Solutions and Building Solutions and Distribution.
Segment profit was up 7% and segment margins were up 80 bps to 13.8% driven by commercial excellence and productivity net of inflation.

Performance Materials and Technologies
($ Millions)	1Q 2012	1Q 2013	% Change
Sales	1,615	1,717	6%
Segment Profit	319	374	17%
Segment Margin	19.8%	21.8%	200 bps

Sales were up 6% reported, down (2%) organic, compared with the first quarter of 2012, resulting from the Thomas Russell acquisition, higher petrochemical catalyst shipments and equipment sales in UOP, partially offset by planned plant outages in Resins & Chemicals and Fluorine Products.
Segment profit was up 17% and segment margins increased 200 bps to 21.8%, primarily due to higher sales at UOP and favorable price net of inflation, partially offset by lower volume in Advanced Materials and continued investments for growth.

Transportation Systems
($ Millions)	1Q 2012	1Q 2013	% Change
Sales	954	914	(4%)
Segment Profit	120	111	(8%)
Segment Margin	12.6%	12.1%	(50) bps

Sales were down (4%) on both a reported and organic basis compared with the first quarter of 2012, driven by approximately 10% lower European light vehicle production volumes and declining aftermarket sales, partially offset by the positive impact of new platform launches, including higher turbo gas launches in North America and China.
Segment profit was down (8%) and segment margins decreased (50) bps to 12.1% primarily driven by lower sales, and ongoing projects to drive operational improvement in the Friction Materials business, partially offset by productivity benefits.

This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
