"We've seen good momentum in the U.S. and our key high growth regions,which is more than offsetting softness in Europe impacting our short-cyclebusinesses. Our long-cycle businesses, namely commercial aerospace and UOP, hadparticularly strong growth, overdriving expectations in the quarter. As aresult of our strong first quarter and continued favorable outlook for ourmajor markets, we're raising our 2012 earnings per share outlook. Our continuedseed planting, coupled with great positions in good industries and the FiveInitiatives - growth, productivity, cash, people, and our enablers - willremain the keys to our continued outperformance in 2012 and over thelong-term."The company is updating its full-year 2012 sales and EPS guidance and nowexpects: Full Year Guidance 2012 2012 % Change Prior Revised vs. 2011 Guidance Guidance Sales $37.8 - $38.0 - 38.6B 4% - 6% 38.9B

First Quarter Segment Performance

Aerospace ($ Millions) 1Q 1Q % 2011 2012 Change Sales 2,696 2,950 9% Segment Profit 467 534 14% Segment Margin 17.3% 18.1% 80 bps

* Sales were up 9% compared with the first quarter of 2011. Organic growth

was 8% which was primarily driven by an 18% increase in our Commercial end

markets, partially offset by lower services revenue in Defense and Space.

Commercial OE sales were up 22%, or 18% organic excluding the impact of the

EMS acquisition. Commercial aftermarket sales were up 16% with growth in

both spares and R&O.

* Segment profit was up 14% and segment margin increased 80 bps to 18.1%,

primarily due to strong commercial aftermarket volume and productivity, net

of inflation and higher investments in R&D.

Automation and Control Solutions

($ Millions) 1Q 1Q % 2011 2012 Change Sales 3,656 3,788 4% Segment Profit 459 491 7% Segment Margin 12.6% 13.0% 40 bps * Sales were up 4%, 3% organic, compared with the first quarter of 2011 driven by growth in Process Solutions and Building Solutions and

Distribution, partially offset by a modest (1%) organic decline in Energy,

Safety and Security as a result of market headwinds in several of our short

cycle businesses. ACS continues to benefit from new product introductions,

geographic expansion, and favorable macro trends such as safety, security,

and energy efficiency.

* Segment profit was up 7% and segment margins were up 40 bps to 13.0% driven

by productivity benefits net of inflation, and the absence of prior year

dilution from acquisitions.

Performance Materials and Technologies ($ Millions) 1Q 2011 1Q 2012 % Change Sales 1,355 1,615 19% Segment Profit 284 319 12% Segment Margin 21.0% 19.8% (120) bps

* Sales were up 19%, 12% organic, compared with the first quarter of 2011,

resulting from strong UOP catalyst and licensing sales, the phenol plant

acquisition, and strong volumes in Resins & Chemicals, offsetting softer

demand in Asia and Europe in Specialty Products and the impact of unfavorable pricing due to more challenging global supply conditions in Fluorines. Demand for UOP technology offerings and services remained strong with new orders up over 50%. * Segment profit was up 12% due to higher volumes, partially offset by continued investment to support growth in the business. Segment margin

decreased (120) bps to 19.8%, primarily due to the dilutive impact of the

phenol plant acquisition. This is better than expected performance due to

less price/raws headwinds than originally planned.

Transportation Systems ($ Millions) 1Q 1Q % 2011 2012 Change Sales 965 954 (1%) Segment Profit 118 120 2% Segment Margin 12.2% 12.6% 40 bps * Sales were down (1%), but up 1% on an organic basis, compared with the first quarter of 2011, due to new business launches and higher diesel penetration, partially offset by lower European vehicle production and aftermarket sales volume. * Segment profit was up 2% and segment margins increased 40 bps to 12.6%

primarily driven by productivity gains including benefits from prior period

restructuring actions.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measureof cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, and to pay dividends, repurchase stock, repay debt obligations prior to their maturities, or make cash pension contributions. 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. Honeywell International Inc
