Earnings per share were up 25% to $3.16 versus $2.52 in the prior year. Cash flow from operations increased 22% to $3.9 billion versus $3.2 billion in 2006, and free cash flow (cash flow from operations less capital expenditures) was up 27% to $3.1 billion versus $2.5 billion in the prior year.
Fourth quarter sales were up 12% to $9.3 billion versus $8.3 billion in
2006. Earnings per share increased 26% to $0.91 versus $0.72 in the prior year fourth quarter. Cash flow from operations was up 16% to $1.4 billion versus $1.2 billion in the prior year, and free cash flow was up approximately 20% to $1.1 billion versus $0.9 billion in the fourth quarter of 2006.
"2007 was another terrific year for Honeywell," said Honeywell Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer Dave Cote. "Our great positions in good industries, together with favorable macro trends, drove growth across each of our four business segments in 2007. The year's highlights included major contract wins, more than $1 billion in acquisitions, and approximately $4 billion in share repurchases, all driving shareowner value."
"While we anticipate softer global economic conditions in 2008, we remain confident in Honeywell's ability to outperform," added Cote. "We will continue to invest in innovation, expand globally, and execute on productivity initiatives to drive double digit earnings per share growth and higher free
cash flow in 2008." Segment Highlights Aerospace ---------
* Sales were up 11%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by
12% growth in Commercial and 9% growth in Defense and Space sales.
Commercial sales reflected growth of 15% in original equipment and 10%
in aftermarket spares and services. Defense and Space sales included the positive impact of the Dimensions International acquisition. * Segment profit grew 14%, while segment margin increased by 60 bps to 18.8%, driven by productivity gains, price, and volume growth, which more than offset the negative impact from inflation. * Honeywell signed a $1 billion contract with AirTran Airways to supply avionics on new aircraft and provide maintenance on AirTran's entire fleet through 2030. AirTran selected Honeywell's full avionics
portfolio, including Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning System, Airborne
Collision Avoidance System, Weather Radar with Forward-Looking Windshear
Detection, Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorders, for up to 150 new Boeing 737s. Honeywell will also provide maintenance services
for all of its equipment on AirTran's entire fleet -- up to 250 aircraft
-- including avionics, lighting, mechanical components, Auxiliary Power
Units, and wheels and brakes. This is the largest commercial
aftermarket services contract ever awarded to Honeywell Aerospace.
* Honeywell has been selected to provide its Runway Awareness and Advisory
System to Emirates Airlines to assist its pilots with increased situational awareness during taxi, takeoff, and landing. Honeywell's system helps prevent runway incursions as airports are becoming
increasingly more crowded. In addition to Emirates, the system has also
been installed on Air France, Alaska Airlines, Fed Ex, Thai Airways, Malaysia Airlines, and Lufthansa Airlines. * Honeywell received Technical Standard Order approval for Synthetic Vision from the Federal Aviation Administration. Synthetic Vision utilizes a digitized database of worldwide terrain and obstacles to provide pilots with a 3-dimensional, real-time view of terrain and obstacles on an aircraft's primary display in any weather condition. The first application for this technology will be for Gulfstream aircraft. Automation and Control Solutions -------------------------------- * Sales were up 13%, compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by 9% growth in the Products businesses and 20% growth in the Solutions businesses. * Segment profit grew 10%, while segment margin decreased by 20 bps to 12.4%, due to volume growth and productivity savings, which were more than offset by the negative impact of inflation, ERP implementation costs, and sales mix. * Building Solutions announced a $4 million project with Arnot Ogden
Medical Center in Elmira, N.Y., to install renewable energy technology,
including the installation of a wood chip-fired boiler and an upgrade of the facility's infrastructure, which will provide nearly 60% of the energy consumed by the center's Main Medical Center. The business also
won a $5 million energy performance project with Fort Jackson, Columbia,
S.C., to provide a variety of energy conservation measures to ensure that the 10-million-square-foot Fort's building control systems are running at peak efficiency. * Process Solutions introduced OneWireless(TM) Equipment Health Monitoring (EHM), the latest addition to Honeywell's portfolio of
industrial wireless solutions. OneWireless EHM will wirelessly transmit
performance information from the field to the plant control room, helping reduce equipment failures and lower maintenance costs. * Honeywell announced a project with Shell Perdido in Louisiana for 59 Excel Optima Shortrange detectors and accessories for their Fire and Emergency Equipment Systems project. The project will help Shell standardize all offshore oil and gas production platforms in the Gulf of Mexico region. Transportation Systems ---------------------- * Sales were up 11% compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by the favorable impact of foreign exchange and pricing actions.
* Segment profit was up 6% as a result of the net benefit from price and
productivity actions, while segment margin decreased 60 bps to 11.0% due
to investments in new products and inflation. * Turbo Technologies won two programs estimated at approximately $95 million in annual revenues at full production. The programs include
commercial diesel and passenger vehicle gasoline engines and will both
be launched in Europe beginning in 2009. * Consumer Products Group announced that Wal-Mart will add its premium spark plug, Autolite(R) Double Platinum, at 2,400 Wal-Mart stores in 2008. Specialty Materials ------------------- * Sales were up 14% compared with the fourth quarter of 2006, driven by growth in all businesses, particularly in UOP and Resins & Chemicals. * Segment profit grew 70%, while segment margin increased by 350 bps to 10.8%, primarily due to increased prices and productivity savings. * Honeywell's Enovate(R) blowing agent is helping insulate walls in China's National Stadium, host to the 2008 Olympic Games. The technology will help the stadium meet strict energy efficiency and environmental guidelines that are required by government construction
authorities and the international Olympic Committee. The stadium is the
first major public building in China to incorporate Enovate.
* UOP's Ecofining technology was selected by Galp Energia, Portugal's
largest refiner, to produce diesel fuel from vegetable oils. Galp
Energia will process 6,500 barrels of vegetable oils per day, supplying
European refineries with a high-cetane "green" diesel fuel to help meet increased demand for high-quality, clean fuels, and biofuels. Green diesel is produced from renewable resources and generates lower
emissions than either biodiesel or traditional petroleum-based diesel.
It can be used as a drop in replacement fuel in current diesel engines
without modifications. In addition, Newfoundland & Labrador Refining Corp. selected UOP to supply technology, basic engineering services, and
equipment for the first new fuel refinery to be built in North America
since 1984.

their maturities. 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.
