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 December 31, 2025, and 2024, we held $12.9 billion and $10.3 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 December 31, 2025, we held $10.2 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:

ASSESSMENT OF CURRENT LIQUIDITY AND CASH REQUIREMENTS
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that 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 our normal operating cash requirements, we expect our primary cash requirements in 2026 to be as follows:
Capital expenditures—we expect to spend approximately $1.3 billion for capital expenditures in 2026 primarily for growth, production and capacity expansion, implementation of cost reduction measures, maintenance, and replacement.
Share repurchases—under our share repurchase program, $1.7 billion was available as of December 31, 2025, for additional share repurchases as authorized by the Board on April 24, 2023. We expect to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock-based compensation plans, including option exercises, restricted unit vesting and matching contributions under our savings plans. Additionally, we seek to reduce share count via share repurchases as and when attractive opportunities arise. The amount and timing of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and our level of operating, financing, and other investing activities.
Mergers and acquisitions—in addition to the intended separation of Honeywell from Honeywell Aerospace, into independent, U.S. publicly traded companies, we expect to evaluate and undertake actions to optimize our portfolio, including executing on strategic bolt-on acquisitions over the course of 2026.
Dividends—we increased our quarterly dividend rate by 5% to $1.19 per share of common stock effective with the fourth quarter 2025 dividend. We intend to continue to pay quarterly dividends in 2026.
We sell trade receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions with limited or no recourse. We account for trade receivable sales as sales and, accordingly, receivables sold are excluded from Accounts receivable—net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet and are reflected in Cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The difference between the carrying amount of the trade receivables sold and the cash received is recorded in Cost of products and services sold in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The impact of this program is not material to our overall liquidity.
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 Honeywell from Honeywell Aerospace, into independent, U.S. publicly traded companies, which is expected to be completed in the third quarter 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 our intent to strategically evaluate alternatives for our Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions businesses within the Industrial Automation reportable business segment and classified the assets and liabilities of the businesses as held for sale during the fourth quarter. On September 29, 2025, we permanently divested our legacy Bendix asbestos liabilities and certain non-Bendix asbestos liabilities that had been previously allocated to a separate, wholly owned entity as part of our liability management reorganization on June 23, 2025. Under the terms of the divestiture agreement, we contributed $1.4 billion in cash, as well as certain insurance assets related to these legacy asbestos liabilities, to a third party entity. On October 30, 2025, we completed the spin-off of the Advanced Materials business into Solstice Advanced Materials Inc., an independent, U.S. publicly traded company. See Note 2 Acquisitions, Divestitures, and Discontinued Operations and Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

BORROWINGS
We leverage a variety of debt instruments to manage our overall borrowing costs. As of December 31, 2025, and 2024, our total borrowings were $34.6 billion and $31.0 billion, respectively.
| December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fixed rate notes | $25,164 | $25,853 |
| Commercial paper | 5,892 | 4,271 |
| Term loans | 3,750 | 1,000 |
| Variable rate notes | 22 | 22 |
| Other | 111 | 331 |
| Fair value of hedging instruments | (79) | (136) |
| Debt issuance costs | (280) | (303) |
| Total borrowings | $34,580 | $31,038 |
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.
We also 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, which expired 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 December 31, 2025, there were $2.75 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 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.

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 December 31, 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 | |
| Outlook | Watch Negative | Watch Negative | Stable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short-term | A-1 | F1 | P1 |
| Long-term | A | A | A2 |
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Following is a summary of our significant contractual obligations and probable liability payments as of December 31, 2025:

| 3 | The payment amounts in the table only reflect the environmental liabilities which are probable and reasonably estimable as of December 31, 2025. |
| 4 | The table excludes tax liability payments, including those for unrecognized tax benefits. See Note 5 Income Taxes of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. |
ASBESTOS MATTERS
Payments, net of insurance recoveries, related to known asbestos matters were $155 million, $209 million, and $109 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. On September 29, 2025, the Company permanently divested all of its legacy Bendix asbestos liabilities and certain non-Bendix asbestos liabilities, contributing $1.4 billion in cash and transferring asbestos liabilities to a third party entity. As part of the agreement, the Company will be indemnified from future asbestos claims. In early 2023, we made payments of approximately $1.3 billion in connection with the NARCO Buyout. For additional information regarding the divestiture of asbestos liabilities and NARCO Buyout, see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Accruals for environmental matters deemed probable and reasonably estimable were $443 million, $261 million, and $213 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. In addition, for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we incurred operating costs for ongoing businesses of approximately $32 million, $39 million, and $35 million, respectively, relating to compliance with environmental regulations.
Payments related to known environmental matters were $175 million, $221 million, and $196 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and are estimated to be approximately $180 million in 2026. We expect to make payments associated with these environmental matters from operating cash flows. The timing of these payments depends on several factors, including the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, execution timeframe of projects, remedial techniques to be utilized, and agreement with other parties.

Reimbursements from Resideo for payments related to environmental matters at certain sites, as defined in the indemnification and reimbursement agreement, were $105 million in 2025. In 2025, the Company and Resideo entered into a termination agreement for the accelerated monetization of the indemnification and reimbursement agreement. Upon closing of the transactions contemplated pursuant to the termination agreement, the Company received a one-time cash payment of $1,590 million in lieu of all future payments to which the Company was entitled pursuant to the indemnification and reimbursement agreement. As a result of the termination agreement, Resideo no longer has any obligation to make cash payments to Honeywell in respect of Honeywell's net spending for environmental matters.
See Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our environmental matters and the indemnification and reimbursement agreement and termination agreement entered into with Resideo.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading or other speculative purposes, and we do not use leveraged derivative financial instruments.
The following table illustrates the potential change in fair value for interest rate sensitive instruments based on a hypothetical immediate one percentage point increase in interest rates across all maturities and the potential change in fair value for foreign exchange rate sensitive instruments based on a 10% weakening of the U.S. dollar versus local currency exchange rates across all maturities as of December 31, 2025, and 2024:
