CORPORATE AND ALL OTHER
Corporate and All Other primarily includes unallocated corporate costs, interest expense on holding-company debt, and the controlling majority-owned interest in Quantinuum. Corporate and All Other is not a separate reportable business segment as segment reporting criteria is not met. The Company continues to monitor the activities in Corporate and All Other to determine the need for further reportable business segment disaggregation.
REPOSITIONING CHARGES
See Note 5 Repositioning and Other(Gains)Charges of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of our repositioning actions and related charges incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024. Cash spending related to our repositioning actions was $117 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and was funded through operating cash flows.
50 Honeywell International Inc.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
(Dollars in tables in millions)
We leverage operating cash flows as the primary source of liquidity. Each of our businesses focuses on increasing operating cash flows through revenue growth, margin expansion, and improved working capital turnover. We also maintain other key sources of liquidity, including U.S. cash balances, and the ability to access non-U.S. cash balances, short-term debt from the commercial paper market, long-term borrowings, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets.
CASH
As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, we held $13.4 billion and $11.0 billion, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents, including our short-term investments. We monitor third-party depository institutions that hold our cash and cash equivalents on a daily basis. Our emphasis is primarily safety of principal and secondarily maximizing yield of those funds. We diversify our cash and cash equivalents among counterparties to minimize exposure to any one counterparty.
As of September 30, 2025, we held $9.9 billion of the Company’s cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments in non-U.S. subsidiaries. We do not have material amounts related to any jurisdiction subject to currency control restrictions that impact our ability to access and repatriate such amounts. Under current laws, we do not expect taxes on repatriation or restrictions on amounts held outside of the U.S. to have a material effect on our overall liquidity.
CASH FLOW SUMMARY
Our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, are summarized as follows:
| Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | Variance | |
| Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period | $10,567 | $7,925 | $2,642 |

| Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents | 167 | 47 | 120 |

| Cash and cash equivalents at end of period | $12,930 | $10,644 | $2,286 |
Nine months ended September 30, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities was driven by the receipt of the Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment of $1,590 million, partially offset by changes in working capital driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $1,035 million due to timing of customer cash collections.
Net cash used for investing activities was driven by $2,200 million of cash paid for acquisitions, $928 million of capital expenditures, and $403 million of net payments from settlements of derivative contracts, partially offset by $1,157 million of proceeds from the sale of the PPE business.
Net cash used for financing activities was driven by $3,704 million of repurchases of common stock, $2,214 million of cash dividends paid, and $1,555 million of payments of long-term debt, partially offset by $4,035 million of long-term debt proceeds and $2,460 million of net proceeds from commercial paper.
51 Honeywell International Inc.
Nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared with nine months ended September 30, 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $1,388 million, driven by the receipt of the Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination payment of $1,590 million and increase in Net income of $424 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact of working capital driven by an increase in accounts receivable of $817 million due to timing of customer cash collections.
Net cash used for investing activities decreased by $5,834 million, driven by a $4,847 million decrease in cash paid for acquisitions and $1,157 million of proceeds from the sale of the PPE business.
Net cash used for financing activities increased by $7,698 million, driven by a $6,372 million decrease in long-term debt proceeds and $2,504 million increase in repurchases common stock, partially offset by a $1,421 million increase in net proceeds from commercial paper.
See Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion of the Resideo indemnification and reimbursement agreement termination.
ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT LIQUIDITY AND CASH REQUIREMENTS
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs for at least the next twelve months. If necessary, our available cash, committed credit lines, and access to the public debt and equity markets provide additional sources of short-term and long-term liquidity to fund current operations, debt maturities, and future investment opportunities.
See Note 9 Debt and Credit Agreements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of items impacting our liquidity.
In addition to normal operating cash requirements, our principal future cash requirements include funding capital expenditures, share repurchases, dividends, strategic acquisitions, and debt repayments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased common stock of $3.7 billion. Refer to the section titled Liquidity and Capital Resources of our 2024 Form 10-K for a discussion of our expected capital expenditures, share repurchases, mergers and acquisitions activity, and dividends for 2025.
We continually assess the relative strength of each business in our portfolio as to strategic fit, market position, profit, and cash flow contribution in order to identify target investment and acquisition opportunities in order to upgrade our combined portfolio. We seek to identify acquisition candidates that will further our strategic plan and strengthen our existing core businesses. In the second quarter of 2025, we acquired Sundyne for total consideration of $2.2 billion, net of cash acquired, as well as announced our agreement to acquire Johnson Matthey's Catalyst Technologies business segment for £1.8 billion. We also identify businesses that do not fit into our long-term strategic plan based on their market position, relative profitability, or growth potential. These businesses are considered for potential divestiture, restructuring, or other repositioning actions, subject to regulatory constraints. On February 6, 2025, we announced our intention to separate the Automation and Aerospace Technologies businesses into independent, U.S. publicly traded companies, which is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. On May 21, 2025, we completed the sale of our PPE business for $1.2 billion, net of cash transferred. On July 8, 2025, we announced we are evaluating strategic alternatives for our Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions businesses within the Industrial Automation reportable business segment. On October 16, 2025, we announced the Board approved the spin-off of the Advanced Materials business into Solstice Advanced Materials, an independent, U.S. publicly traded company, which will be effective on October 30, 2025. See Note 3 Acquisitions and Divestitures, Note 15 Commitments and Contingencies, and Note 19 Subsequent Events of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
We continually seek opportunities to improve our liquidity and working capital efficiency, which includes the extension of payment terms with our suppliers and transfer of our trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions on a true sale basis. The impact of these programs is not material to our overall liquidity.
52 Honeywell International Inc.
BORROWINGS
We leverage a variety of debt instruments to manage our overall borrowing costs. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, our total borrowings were $37.0 billion and $31.1 billion, respectively.
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed rate notes | $25,270 | $25,853 |
| Commercial paper | 6,873 | 4,271 |
| Term loans | 5,000 | 1,000 |
| Variable rate notes | 22 | 22 |
| Other | 247 | 392 |
| Fair value of hedging instruments | (83) | (136) |
| Debt issuance costs | (292) | (303) |
| Total borrowings | $37,037 | $31,099 |
A key source of liquidity is our ability to access the corporate bond markets. Through these markets, we issue a variety of long-term fixed rate notes to manage our overall funding costs.
Another key source of liquidity is our ability to access the commercial paper market. Commercial paper notes are sold at a discount or premium and have a maturity of not more than 365 days from date of issuance. Borrowings under the commercial paper program are available for general corporate purposes as well as for financing acquisitions.
In addition, we have the following loan and revolving credit agreements:
A $6.0 billion Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the Term Loan Agreement), dated as of May 7, 2025. The Term Loan Agreement is comprised of two tranches: (i) commitments to provide loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $4.0 billion, which was fully drawn effective May 30, 2025, and (ii) commitments to provide loans in an aggregate amount of up to $2.0 billion, expiring on December 19, 2025. Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Agreement are required to be paid no later than May 7, 2027, unless the Term Loan Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. As of September 30, 2025, there were $4.0 billion of borrowings outstanding on the Term Loan Agreement.
A $3.0 billion 364-day credit agreement (the 364-Day Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated as of March 17, 2025. Amounts borrowed under the 364-Day Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than March 16, 2026, unless (i) we elect to convert all then outstanding amounts into a term loan, upon which such amounts shall be repaid in full on March 16, 2027, or (ii) the 364-Day Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. The 364-Day Credit Agreement replaced the previously reported $1.5 billion 364-day credit agreement dated as of March 18, 2024, which was terminated in accordance with its terms effective March 17, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under our 364-Day Credit Agreement.
A $1.0 billion Fixed Rate Term Loan Credit Agreement (the Fixed Rate Term Loan Credit Agreement), dated as of August 12, 2024. Amounts borrowed under the Fixed Rate Term Loan Credit Agreement are required to be repaid no later than August 12, 2027, unless the Fixed Rate Term Loan Credit Agreement is terminated earlier pursuant to its terms. As of September 30, 2025, there were $1.0 billion of borrowings outstanding under the Fixed Rate Term Loan Credit Agreement.
A $4.0 billion five-year credit agreement (the Five-Year Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of banks, dated as of March 18, 2024. Commitments under the Five-Year Credit Agreement can be increased pursuant to the terms of the Five-Year Credit Agreement to an aggregate amount not to exceed $4.5 billion. As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under our Five-Year Credit Agreement.
See Note 9 Debt and Credit Agreements of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding our debt instruments.
We also maintain a current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC under which we may issue additional debt securities, common stock, and preferred stock that may be offered in one or more offerings on terms to be determined at the time of the offering. We anticipate that net proceeds of any offering would be used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of existing indebtedness, share repurchases, capital expenditures, and acquisitions.
53 Honeywell International Inc.
CREDIT RATINGS
Our ability to access the global debt capital markets and the related cost of these borrowings is affected by the strength of our credit rating and market conditions. Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by the major independent debt-rating agencies. As of September 30, 2025, S&P Global Inc. (S&P), Fitch Ratings Inc. (Fitch), and Moody’s Investor Service (Moody's) have ratings on our debt set forth in the table below:
| S&P | Fitch | Moody's | |
