NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The following is a description of Honeywell’s significant accounting policies.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Honeywell International Inc. and all of its subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling interest is maintained. The Company's consolidation policy requires equity investments that the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities, to be accounted for using the equity method. Investments through which the Company is not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which the Company does not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior year amounts are reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Historically, the Company included Company-sponsored costs and costs that relate to contracts with customers for research and development projects as a component of Cost of products and services sold on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began classifying Company-sponsored costs for research and development projects as a separate financial statement line item, titled Research and development expenses, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations and recast prior period results for this reclassification. This reclassification had no impact on the Company's net income, earnings per share, cash flows, segment reporting, or financial position. The Company revised historical periods to reflect this change in presentation.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). ASUs not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flows (Consolidated Financial Statements).
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Taxes Disclosures, which requires greater disaggregation of income tax disclosures. The new standard requires additional information to be disclosed with respect to the income tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU should be applied prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with retrospective application permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which requires companies to enhance the disclosures about segment expenses. The new standard requires the disclosure of the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), expanded incremental line-item disclosures of significant segment expenses used by the CODM for decision-making, and the inclusion of previous annual only segment disclosure requirements on a quarterly basis. This ASU should be applied retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts of this guidance on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 405): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations, to enhance the transparency of supplier finance programs. The new standard requires annual disclosure of the key terms of the program, a description of where in the financial statements amounts outstanding under the program are presented, a rollforward of such amounts, and interim disclosure of amounts outstanding as of the end of each period. The guidance does not affect recognition, measurement, or financial statement presentation of supplier finance programs. The ASU is effective on January 1, 2023, except for the rollforward, which is effective on January 1, 2024. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2023, with the exception of the rollforward that is effective on January 1, 2024. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

| TABLE OF CONTENTS | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
|---|
In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This ASU should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date of December 15, 2022, and early adoption was permitted. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2022. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the transition away from reference rates expected to be discontinued to alternative reference rates. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, to expand the scope of this guidance to include derivatives. The guidance was effective upon issuance and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into on or before December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time entities can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance under ASU 2020-04 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. The Company will apply the guidance to impacted transactions during the transition period. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development costs for projects are expensed as incurred, unless these costs relate to contracts with customers where the Company receives reimbursements. Amounts expensed as incurred for Company-sponsored research and development projects are included in Research and development expenses and were $1,456 million, $1,478 million, and $1,333 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Costs related to contracts with customers for customer-sponsored research and development projects are included as a contract cost and included in Cost of products and services sold when revenue from such contracts is recognized, consistent with the Company's sales recognition policies. This revenue was $1,303 million, $1,336 million, and $1,284 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and highly liquid investments having an original maturity of three months or less.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined on a first-in, first-out basis. Carrying value adjustments for inventory obsolescence is equal to the difference between the cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including any asset retirement obligations, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line method of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements and 3 to 16 years for machinery and equipment. Recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets is required when there is a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the corresponding asset’s useful life.
GOODWILL AND INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter, or if a triggering event occurs or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of goodwill. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test as of the first day of the fourth quarter and determined there was no impairment as of that date. The Company is not aware of any additional triggering events.
60 Honeywell International Inc.
| TABLE OF CONTENTS | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
|---|
Prior to 2022, the Company performed its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment test as of the last day of the first quarter. In 2022, the Company changed the date of its annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment assessment to the first day of the fourth quarter. The Company believes this change does not represent a material change in method of applying an accounting principle. This change has been applied prospectively as of the date of the change, as retrospective application is deemed impracticable due to the inability to objectively determine the assumptions used in earlier periods without the benefit of hindsight. This voluntary change is preferable under the circumstances as it results in better alignment with the timing of the Company’s forecasting process and reduces the time period between the assessment date and annual financial statements. This change in accounting principle does not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment of goodwill. In 2022, due to this change, the Company performed annual goodwill and intangible asset impairment tests as of the last day of the first quarter and the first day of the fourth quarter.
DEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Other intangible assets with definite lives consist of customer relationships, patents and technology, trademarks, and other intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 to 20 years.
CAPITALIZED SOFTWARE
The Company capitalizes costs of software developed or obtained for internal use during the application development stage of a project and amortizes those costs using the straight-line method over the expected useful life of the software, not to exceed 7 years. Costs incurred during the preliminary and post-implementation stages are expensed as incurred. Development costs for software held for sale are capitalized once a project has reached the point of technological feasibility. Completed projects are amortized after reaching the point of general availability using the straight-line method based on the expected useful life, not to exceed 7 years. At each balance sheet date, or earlier if an indicator of an impairment exists, the Company evaluates the recoverability of unamortized capitalized software costs based on estimated future undiscounted revenues net of estimated related costs over the remaining amortization period. Capitalized software held for internal use and held for sale is included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated into U.S. Dollars using year-end exchange rates. Sales, costs, and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments for these subsidiaries are included in earnings.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
All derivative financial instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivatives are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings.
Derivative financial instruments designated as hedges must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception and over the life of the hedge contract. Cash flows of such derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item. The Company elected to exclude the time value of the derivatives (i.e., the forward points) from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and to recognize the initial value of the excluded component in earnings using the amortization approach. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a net investment hedge, the gain or loss is reported as a component of Other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The gain or loss will be subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged net investment is either sold or substantially liquidated.

LEASES
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. The assessment is based on (i) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (ii) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (iii) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.
All significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability are not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short-term leases); however, lease expense for these leases is recognized as incurred over the lease term.
ROU assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company's lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments may be fixed or variable, however, only fixed payments or in-substance fixed payments are included in determining the lease liability. Variable lease payments are recognized in operating expenses in the period in which the obligation for those payments are incurred. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial direct costs and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately.
The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate, which is based on the information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of the lease payments. In determining the borrowing rate, the Company considers the lease term, secured incremental borrowing rate, and for leases denominated in a currency different than the U.S. dollar, the collateralized borrowing rate in the foreign currency using the U.S. dollar and foreign currency swap spread, when available.
PENSION BENEFITS
The Company presents net periodic pension costs by disaggregating the service cost component of such costs and reports those costs in the same line item or items in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other non-service components of such costs are required to be presented separately from the service cost component.
The Company records the service cost component of Pension ongoing (income) expense in Cost of products and services sold, Research and development expenses, and Selling, general and administrative expenses. The remaining components of costs within Pension ongoing (income) expense, primarily interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recorded in Other (income) expense. The Company recognizes net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plan's projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment). The MTM Adjustment is also reported in Other (income) expense.
SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCING
The Company maintains agreements with third-party financial institutions that offer voluntary supply chain financing (SCF) programs to suppliers. The SCF programs enable suppliers, at their sole discretion, to sell their receivables to third-party financial institutions in order to receive payment on receivables earlier than the negotiated commercial terms between suppliers and the Company. Supplier sale of receivables to third-party financial institutions is on terms negotiated between the supplier and the respective third-party financial institution. The Company agrees on commercial terms for the goods and services procured from suppliers, including prices, quantities, and payment terms, which normally range between 60 and 120 days, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the SCF programs. A suppliers’ voluntary participation in the SCF programs has no bearing on the Company's payment terms and the Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF programs. The Company agrees to pay participating third-party financial institutions the stated amounts of confirmed invoices from suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices.
Amounts outstanding related to SCF programs are included in Accounts payable in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Accounts payable included approximately $1,112 million and $992 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The impact of these programs is not material to the Company's overall liquidity.

SALES RECOGNITION
Product and service sales are recognized when or as the Company transfers control of the promised products or services to its customers. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance, and engineering activities, are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long-term contracts with performance obligations satisfied over time are recognized using either an input or output method. The Company recognizes revenue over time as the Company performs on these contracts because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. With control transferring over time, revenue is recognized based on the extent of progress towards completion of the performance obligation. The Company generally uses the cost-to-cost input method of progress for contracts because it best depicts the transfer of control to the customer that occurs as the Company incurs costs. Under the cost-to-cost input method, the extent of progress towards completion is measured based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion of the performance obligation. The Company reviews its cost estimates on significant contracts on a periodic basis, or when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. Cost estimates are largely based on negotiated or estimated purchase contract terms, historical performance trends, and other economic projections. Significant factors that influence these estimates include inflationary trends, technical and schedule risks, internal and subcontractor performance trends, business volume assumptions, asset utilization, and anticipated labor agreements. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when such losses become evident, to the extent required.
The customer funding for costs incurred for nonrecurring engineering and development activities of the Company's products under agreements with commercial customers is deferred and subsequently recognized as revenue as products are delivered to the customers. Additionally, expenses incurred, up to the customer agreed funded amount, are deferred as an asset and recognized as cost of sales when products are delivered to the customer. The deferred customer funding and costs result in recognition of deferred costs (asset) and deferred revenue (liability) within Other assets and Accrued liabilities, respectively, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Deferred contract fulfillment costs were approximately $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The amounts recognized as Cost of products and services sold were approximately $0.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, and $0.2 billion and $0.1 billion for 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Revenues for the Company's mechanical service programs are recognized as performance obligations that are satisfied over time, with recognition reflecting a series of distinct services using the output method.
The terms of a contract or the historical business practice can give rise to variable consideration due to, but not limited to, cash-based incentives, rebates, performance awards, or credits. The Company estimates variable consideration at the most likely amount the Company will receive from customers. The Company includes estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized for such transaction will not occur, or when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. The Company's estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company's anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available to the Company.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The principal awards issued under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 15 Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are non-qualified stock options and restricted stock units. The cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant to recognize expense for those awards expected to vest and are based on the Company's historical forfeiture rates.
INCOME TAXES
Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. The Company establishes reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully supportable, certain positions remain that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are examined by various federal, state, and foreign tax authorities. The Company regularly assesses the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of the Company's provision for income taxes. The Company continually assesses the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjusts the income tax provision, the current tax liability, and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known. See Note 5 Income Taxes for additional information.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
ENVIRONMENTAL
The Company accrues costs related to environmental matters when it is probable that it has incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
REIMBURSEMENT RECEIVABLES
In conjunction with the Resideo Technologies, Inc. (Resideo) spin-off, the Company entered into a reimbursement agreement under which Honeywell receives cash payments as reimbursement primarily related to net spending for environmental matters at certain sites as defined in the reimbursement agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded receivables based on estimates of the underlying reimbursable Honeywell environmental spend, and the Company monitors the recoverability of such receivables, which are subject to the terms of applicable credit agreements and general ability to pay.
ASBESTOS-RELATED LIABILITIES AND INSURANCE RECOVERIES
The Company recognizes a liability for any asbestos-related contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos-related matters, the Company records asbestos-related insurance recoveries that are deemed probable. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
ACQUISITIONS
On December 8, 2023, the Company agreed to acquire Carrier Global Corporation's Global Access Solutions business in an all-cash transaction for $5.0 billion. The transaction is subject to regulatory review and approval and customary closing conditions. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2024 and the business will be reported within the Honeywell Building Technologies reportable business segment.
On August 25, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of SCADAfence, a provider of operational technology and Internet of Things cybersecurity solutions for monitoring large scale networks, for total consideration of $52 million, net of cash acquired. The business is included in the Performance Materials and Technologies reportable business segment. The assets and liabilities acquired with SCADAfence are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, including $17 million of intangible assets and $42 million of goodwill, which is not deductible for tax purposes. The purchase accounting is subject to final adjustment, primarily for the value of intangible assets, amounts allocated to goodwill, and tax balances.
On June 30, 2023, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Compressor Controls Corporation, a turbomachinery services and controls company based in the United States, for total cash consideration of $673 million, net of cash acquired. The business is included in the Performance Materials and Technologies reportable business segment. The assets and liabilities acquired with Compressor Controls Corporation are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023, including $282 million of intangible assets and $350 million allocated to goodwill, which is deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer relationships amortized over an estimated life of 15 years using an excess earnings amortization method. The purchase accounting is subject to final adjustment, primarily for the valuation of intangible assets, amounts allocated to goodwill, and tax balances.
On January 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of US Digital Designs, Inc., a leading provider of technologies for first responders, for total consideration of $186 million.

On November 29, 2021, Honeywell Quantum Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell, and Cambridge Quantum Computing, a leading developer of quantum computing and quantum software, combined to form Quantinuum. Prior to closing the transaction, Honeywell held a 4.2% ownership interest in Cambridge Quantum Computing. As part of the business combination, Honeywell contributed an additional $270 million of cash and is the controlling majority-owner of Quantinuum, with an overall 54% ownership in the business. Assets and liabilities of Quantinuum are consolidated by Honeywell and included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The business is included within Corporate and All Other, which is not a reportable business segment. Upon close of the transaction, Honeywell recorded a non-cash adjustment of $460 million in Additional paid-in capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the contribution of ownership interest in Honeywell Quantum Solutions and Cambridge Quantum Computing for the formation of Quantinuum. In addition, Honeywell recognized a gain of $22 million related to the fair value remeasurement of Honeywell's existing 4.2% ownership interest in Cambridge Quantum Computing, which was recorded in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. At close of the transaction, the fair value of Cambridge Quantum Computing's noncontrolling interest in Quantinuum was $419 million. In December 2021, Cambridge Quantum Computing contributed cash of $12 million to Quantinuum, increasing their noncontrolling interest and decreasing Honeywell's additional paid-in capital. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company completed its evaluation of the fair value of all the assets and liabilities acquired. Management recorded intangible assets of $90 million and allocated $945 million to goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes.
On February 12, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the shares outstanding of Sparta Systems, a leading provider of enterprise quality management software for the life sciences industry, for $1,303 million. The business is included within the Performance Materials and Technologies reportable business segment. The assets and liabilities acquired with Sparta Systems are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021, including $383 million of intangible assets and $1,011 million allocated to goodwill, which is non-deductible for tax purposes.
DIVESTITURES
During 2023, there were no significant divestitures individually or in the aggregate.
In conjunction with the wind down of the Company's businesses and operations in Russia (the Wind down), during 2022 the Company completed the sale ofthree entities domiciled in Russia in exchange for gross cash consideration of less than $1 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of $22 million, which was recorded in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations, driven by favorable foreign currency cumulative translation adjustment positions in the entities at the time of sale.

See Note 22 Segment Financial Data for a summary by disaggregated product and services sales for each reportable business segment.
The Company recognizes revenue arising from performance obligations outlined in contracts with its customers that are satisfied at a point in time and over time. The disaggregation of the Company's revenue based off timing of recognition is as follows:
| Years Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | |
| Products, transferred point in time | 58% | 59% | 58% |

| Net product sales | 70 | 73 | 75 |
| Services, transferred point in time | 10 | 8 | 8 |
| Services, transferred over time | 20 | 19 | 17 |
| Net service sales | 30 | 27 | 25 |
| Net sales | 100% | 100% | 100% |
CONTRACT BALANCES
The Company tracks progress on satisfying performance obligations under contracts with customers. The related billings and cash collections are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheet in Accounts receivable—net and Other assets (unbilled receivables (contract assets) and billed receivables), and Accrued liabilities and Other liabilities (customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities)). Unbilled receivables arise when the timing of cash collected from customers differs from the timing of revenue recognition, such as when contract provisions require specific milestones to be met before a customer can be billed. Contract assets are recognized when the revenue associated with the contract is recognized prior to billing and derecognized when billed in accordance with the terms of the contract. Contract liabilities are recorded when customers remit contractual cash payments in advance of the Company satisfying performance obligations under contractual arrangements, including those with performance obligations to be satisfied over a period of time. Contract liabilities are derecognized when revenue is recorded, either when a milestone is met triggering the contractual right to bill or when the performance obligation is satisfied.
Contract balances are classified as assets or liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period.

The following table summarizes the Company's contract assets and liabilities balances:

For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized revenue of $2,070 million and $1,838 million, respectively, that was previously included in the beginning balance of contract liabilities.
Contract assets included $1,949 million and $2,265 million of unbilled balances under long-term contracts as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These amounts are billed in accordance with the terms of customer contracts to which they relate.
When contracts are modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements, the Company considers whether the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Contract modifications for goods or services and not distinct from the existing contract, due to the significant integration with the original good or service provided, are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company's measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis. When the modifications include additional performance obligations that are distinct and at relative stand-alone selling price, they are accounted for as a new contract and performance obligation, which are recognized prospectively.
PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is defined as the unit of account. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. When the Company's contracts with customers require highly complex integration or manufacturing services that are not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct, then the entire contract is accounted for as a single performance obligation. In situations when the Company's contracts include distinct goods or services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time, they are recognized as a series of distinct goods or services. For any contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the estimated relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. For product sales, each product sold to a customer typically represents a distinct performance obligation. In such cases, the observable stand-alone sales are used to determine the stand-alone selling price.
Performance obligations are satisfied as of a point in time or over time. Performance obligations are supported by contracts with customers, providing a framework for the nature of the distinct goods, services or bundle of goods and services. The timing of satisfying the performance obligation is typically indicated by the terms of the contract.
The following table outlines the Company's remaining performance obligations disaggregated by reportable business segment:
| December 31, 2023 | |
|---|---|
| Aerospace | $13,898 |
| Honeywell Building Technologies | 7,302 |
| Performance Materials and Technologies | 8,643 |
| Safety and Productivity Solutions | 1,887 |
| Corporate and All Other1 | 47 |
| Total performance obligations2 | $31,777 |

| 2 | Effective March 31, 2022, performance obligations exclude contracts with customers related to Russia as collectability is not reasonably assured. |
68 Honeywell International Inc.
| TABLE OF CONTENTS | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA |
|---|
Performance obligations recognized as of December 31, 2023 will be satisfied over the course of future periods. The Company's disclosure of the timing for satisfying the performance obligation is based on the requirements of contracts with customers. However, from time to time, these contracts may be subject to modifications, impacting the timing of satisfying the performance obligations. Performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 60% and 40%, respectively.
The timing of satisfaction of the Company's performance obligations does not significantly vary from the typical timing of payment. Typical payment terms of the Company's fixed price over time contracts include progress payments based on specified events or milestones or based on project progress. For some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment.
The Company applied the practical expedient for certain revenue streams to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected term of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue in proportion to the amount the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.

Certain repositioning projects will recognize exit costs in future periods when the actual liability is incurred. Such exit costs incurred in 2023, 2022, and 2021 were $62 million, $63 million, and $45 million, respectively.
OTHER CHARGES
In 2022, the Company recognized $295 million of Other charges related to the initial suspension and the wind down of our business and operations in Russia. These costs impacted all reportable business segments, with the most significant impact within the Performance Materials and Technologies reportable business segment. The Other charges include costs recorded in Cost of products sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses, or Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cost of products and services sold includes $65 million primarily related to inventory reserves and the write-down of other assets, Selling, general and administrative includes $185 million primarily related to reserves against outstanding accounts receivable and contract assets, impairment of intangible assets, the write-down of other assets, and employee severance, and Other (income) expense includes $45 million related to foreign exchange revaluation on an intercompany loan with a Russian affiliate, impairment of property, plant and equipment, and expenses for called guarantees. Directly attributable to our wind down of businesses and operations in Russia, but excluded from Other charges, is a $2 million tax valuation allowance recorded to Tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Given the uncertainty inherent in the Company's remaining obligations related to contracts with Russian counterparties, the Company does not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters (other than as specifically set forth above). Based on available information to date, the Company’s estimate of potential future losses or other contingencies related to suspension and wind down activities, including any guarantee payments or any litigation costs or as otherwise related to the Company's wind down in Russia, could adversely affect the Company's consolidated results of operations in the periods recognized but would not be material with respect to the Company's consolidated financial position. See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for a discussion of the recognition and measurement of estimate for contingencies.

Additionally, for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, Other charges include $41 million and $105 million, respectively, of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic) relating to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions reportable business segment. Certain of these costs incurred include amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized during 2022 and 2021 when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business’ long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supply delays and the resulting downstream installation issues, demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor disputes. These costs do not include normal operational inefficiencies experienced during a challenging operating environment in 2022 and 2021.

| 3 | 2023 includes (3.6)% deferred tax benefit resulting from a non-U.S. legislative change, offset by 3.6% deferred tax expense resulting from a full valuation allowance. |
The effective tax rate decreased by 1.3 percentage points in 2023 compared to 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to the increased benefit of taxes on non-U.S. earnings and lower expense related to unremitted withholding taxes on non-U.S. earnings, partially offset by incremental tax expense for reserves. The Company’s 2023 non-U.S. effective tax rate was 25.3%, a decrease of approximately 2.2 percentage points compared to 2022. The decrease in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily attributable to increased benefit of taxes on non-U.S. earnings and lower expense related to unremitted withholding taxes on non-U.S. earnings, partially offset by incremental tax expense for reserves.
The effective tax rate decreased by 0.4 percentage points in 2022 compared to 2021. The decrease was primarily a result of additional tax expense reported in 2021 arising from a valuation allowance established against a capital loss, partially offset by a tax benefit related to restructuring transactions. In 2022, the valuation allowance was partially released as losses were utilized against a capital gain. Additionally, in 2022, there was lower tax expense reported for contingencies as a result of the release of certain state income tax reserves. The Company’s 2022 non-U.S. effective tax rate was 27.5%, an increase of approximately 1.5 percentage points compared to 2021. The increase in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily attributable to a 2021 tax benefit recorded for the release of a valuation allowance on net operating losses due to restructuring in Canada, which resulted in more tax expense in 2022 compared to 2021. This increase was partially offset by lower tax expense recorded in 2022 related to tax reserves when compared to 2021.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance of $1,176 million against a portion of the non-U.S. gross deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance of $116 million against the U.S. gross deferred tax asset, primarily related to capital loss carryovers. The change in the valuation allowance resulted in an increase of $458 million, adecrease of $8 million, and anincrease of $124 million to income tax expense in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The majority of the $458 million increase in 2023 tax expense relates to a $257 million valuation allowance resulting from uncertainty regarding the realizability of a $257 million deferred tax asset established as a result of a non-U.S. tax legislative change. The remaining $201 million relates to other tax attribute carryforwards. If the Company determines that the likelihood of realization of existing deferred tax assets changes, a corresponding increase or decrease to valuation allowances will be recognized as an increase or reduction to income tax expense in the period that determination is made.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a $542 million deferred tax liability on all unremitted foreign earnings based on estimated earnings and profits of approximately $15 billion as of the balance sheet date.

As of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, there were $1,225 million, $1,086 million, and $1,061 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would be recorded as a component of Tax expense.
The following table summarizes tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of December 31, 2023:
| Jurisdiction | Open Tax Years | |
|---|---|---|
| Examination in progress | Examination not yet initiated | |
| U.S. Federal | 2017-2021 | 2022-2023 |

| United Kingdom | 2013-2021 | 2022-2023 |
Based on the outcome of these examinations, or as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns will materially change from those recorded as liabilities in the Company's financial statements. In addition, the outcome of these examinations may impact the valuation of certain deferred tax assets (such as net operating losses) in future periods.
Unrecognized tax benefits for examinations in progress were $803 million, $640 million, and $592 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a component of Tax expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and totaled $74 million, $5 million, and $79 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Accrued interest and penalties were $612 million, $557 million, and $580 million as of December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

NOTE 11. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING TRANSACTIONS
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage its risks related to interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. To qualify as a hedge, derivative financial instruments must be evaluated for hedge effectiveness at the inception of the contract and designated as a hedge. Changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception and over the life of the hedge contract.
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company operates a global business in a wide variety of foreign currencies. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities, and transactions arising from international trade. The Company's objective is to preserve the U.S. Dollar value of foreign currency denominated cash flows and earnings. The Company monitors its collective foreign currency exposure and enters into foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts (foreign currency exchange contracts) with third parties, when necessary, to minimize the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Company has monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Prior to conversion into U.S. Dollars, these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. The Company recognizes effects of changes in spot rates in Other (income) expense.
The Company uses foreign currency exchange contracts to hedge foreign currency exposure. These contracts are marked-to-market in net income and offset gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged. The Company also uses foreign currency contracts to hedge forecasted sales and purchases, which are denominated in non-functional currencies. Changes in the forecasted non-functional currency cash flows due to movements in exchange rates are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of these foreign currency exchange contracts designated as hedges. Market value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company held contracts with notional amounts of $8,910 million and $10,545 million, respectively, to exchange foreign currencies, principally the U.S. Dollar, Euro, Canadian Dollar, British Pound, Mexican Peso, Chinese Renminbi, and Indian Rupee.
The Company also designates certain foreign currency debt and derivative contracts as hedges against portions of its net investment in foreign operations. Gains or losses of the foreign currency debt and derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges are recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments.
INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT
Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to market risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company uses a combination of financial instruments, including long-term, medium-term, and short-term financing, variable-rate commercial paper, and interest rate swaps to convert the interest rate mix of the Company's total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing.
CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company continues to monitor the creditworthiness of its counterparties to mitigate the risk of nonperformance. Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose the Company to counterparty credit risk. In addition, the Company grants credit terms to its customers in the normal course of business. The terms and conditions of the Company's credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. The Company's sales are not materially dependent on a single customer or a small group of customers.
COMMODITY PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT
The Company's operations subject the Company to risk related to the price volatility of certain commodities. To mitigate the commodity price risk associated with the Company's operations, the Company may enter into commodity derivative instruments. In both 2023 and 2022, the Company entered into various contracts to mitigate commodity price volatility. The Company elected to apply hedge accounting to these contracts.

All Derivative assets are presented in Other current assets or Other assets. All Derivative liabilities are presented in Accrued liabilities or Other liabilities.
In addition to the foreign currency derivative contracts designated as net investment hedges, certain of the Company's foreign currency denominated debt instruments are designated as net investment hedges. The carrying value of those debt instruments designated as net investment hedges, which includes the adjustment for the foreign currency transaction gain or loss on those instruments, was $6,099 million and $3,836 million as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.
Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hedge relationships with gains or losses on the derivative recognized in Interest and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the underlying debt being hedged. Gains and losses on interest rate swap agreements recognized in earnings were $121 million of income, $347 million of expense, and $135 million of expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Gains and losses are fully offset by losses and gains on the underlying debt being hedged.

NOTE 12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The accounting guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Inputs are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs are based on observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical or similar assets and liabilities.
Level 3 - One or more inputs are unobservable and significant.
Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The Company values foreign currency exchange contracts, interest rate swap agreements, cross currency swap agreements, and commodity contracts using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds investments in commercial paper, certificates of deposits, time deposits, and corporate debt securities that are designated as available for sale. These investments are valued using published prices based on observable market data. As such, these investments are classified within level 2.
The Company holds certain available for sale investments in U.S. government securities and investments in equity securities. The Company values these investments utilizing published prices based on quoted market pricing, which are classified within level 1.
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper, and other short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value.
As part of the NARCO Buyout (see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies for definition), Honeywell holds a right to proceeds from the definitive sale agreement pursuant to which HarbisonWalker International Holdings, Inc. (HWI), the reorganized and renamed entity that emerged from the NARCO Bankruptcy, was acquired by an affiliate of Platinum Equity, LLC (HWI Sale). The right to these proceeds is considered a financial instrument. The significant input for the valuation of this right is unobservable, and as such, is classified within level 3.
The HWI Sale closed on February 16, 2023. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, Honeywell received $275 million of proceeds from the HWI Sale (HWI Net Sale Proceeds), of which $256 million was received during the first quarter of 2023 and $19 million during the second quarter of 2023. Additionally, during the second quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a fair value adjustment for the HWI Net Sale Proceeds and reduced the estimate by $11 million. The fair value of the remaining HWI Net Sale Proceeds as of December 31, 2023, represents contingent consideration to be paid in future periods if certain conditions under the definitive sale agreement for the HWI Sale are met.

NOTE 15. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS
The 2016 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (2016 Plan) and 2016 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Honeywell International Inc. (2016 Directors Plan) were both approved by the shareowners at the Annual Meeting of Shareowners effective on April 25, 2016. At December 31, 2023, there were 28,946,133 and 781,768 shares of Honeywell common stock available for future grants under terms of the 2016 Plan and 2016 Directors Plan, respectively.
STOCK OPTIONS
The exercise price, term, and other conditions applicable to each option granted under the Company's stock plans are generally determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company's stock on that date. The fair value is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). Options generally vest over afour-year period and expire afterten years.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock and historical volatility of the Company's common stock. The Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. Such model uses historical data to estimate option exercise activity and post-vest termination behavior. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS
Restricted stock unit (RSU) awards entitle the holder to receiveone share of common stock for each unit when the units vest. RSUs are issued to certain key employees and directors as compensation at fair market value at the date of grant. RSUs generally become fully vested over periods ranging from three tosix years and are payable in Honeywell common stock upon vesting. Certain RSU awards are performance-based and awarded to eligible employees which entitle the grantee to receive shares of common stock if specified Company performance goals are achieved during the performance period and if the grantee remains employed through the vesting period.
