MORRIS TOWNSHIP, N.J., March 8, 2012/PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Honeywell (NYSE: HON) will hold its annual investor conference in New York City today to discuss its continued evolution and positive outlook. The company will highlight its strong ten-year financial and operational performance track record under the leadership of Dave Cote, Chairman and CEO, and progress towards achieving its 2014 Sales ($41-45 billion) and Segment Margin (16-18%) targets communicated in February 2010.
Over the past 10 years the company has strengthened its portfolio and expanded its global footprint. During that time, Honeywell generated significant growth in sales, earnings, and shareowner returns that have outpaced the overall market.
“The evolution will continue,” said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote. “We are building off an increasingly robust foundation, with terrific outperformance in 2011. With our relentless focus on execution and our strengthened portfolio, our strategies of Great Positions in Good Industries, One Honeywell and the Five Initiatives – Growth, Productivity, Cash, People and the Enablers – will continue to provide us a tailwind to outperform the overall market and deliver results for our customers and shareholders. We are working to ensure that the best is still yet to come.”
The company also reaffirms its previously announced 2012 financial outlook and narrows its estimate of expected Q1 2012 earnings per share to $0.96 to $0.98, the high-end of the previously communicated range ($0.93 to $0.98).
