CARRIER GLOBAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Carrier Global Corporation (the "Company") is a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions with a focus on providing differentiated, digitally-enabled lifecycle solutions to its customers. The Company's portfolio includes industry-leading brands such as Carrier, Viessmann, Toshiba, Automated Logic and Carrier Transicold that offer innovative heating, ventilating, air conditioning ("HVAC") and cold chain transportation solutions to enhance the lives we live and the world we share. The Company also provides a broad array of related building services, including audit, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring. The Company's operations are classified into four segments: Climate Solutions Americas, Climate Solutions Europe, Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Climate Solutions Transportation.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2024 filed with the SEC on February 11, 2025 (the "2024 Form 10-K").

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has control. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Related party transactions between the Company and its equity method investees have not been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents a non-controlling investor's interests in the results of subsidiaries that the Company controls and consolidates.

Portfolio Transformation

During 2024, the Company completed several activities designed to simplify its business portfolio, transforming it into a pure-play climate and energy solutions provider. On January 2, 2024, the Company acquired the climate solutions business (the "VCS Business") of Viessmann Group GmbH & Co. KG (“Viessmann”). The VCS Business, primarily reported in the Climate Solutions Europe segment, is a premier residential and light commercial HVAC provider in Europe that expanded our portfolio to offer a global, comprehensive suite of sustainable and innovative building and cold-chain solutions. In addition, the Company divested its Commercial and Residential Fire, Access Solutions and Industrial Fire businesses which were historically reported in its Fire & Security segment. The transactions represented a single disposal plan to separately divest multiple businesses over different reporting periods and met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations in the accompanying financial statements. The Company also divested its Commercial Refrigeration business (“CCR”) during 2024. CCR, which was historically reported in the Climate Solutions Transportation segment (previously named Refrigeration), did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

Segment Reorganization

As a result of the Company's portfolio transformation, the Company revised its reportable segments during the first quarter to better reflect its business strategy, align its management reporting and increase transparency for investors. Under the revised segment structure, the Company has three new regional HVAC operating segments. Combined with the Climate Solutions Transportation operating segment, the four operating segments also serve as the Company's reportable segments. This model is designed to create a simplified, more focused and customer-centric organization across the globe. Each segment reports through separate management teams which regularly review their operating results with the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. In connection with the revised structure, the CODM changed the measure used to evaluate segment profitability from Operating profit to Segment operating profit. All prior period comparative information has been recast to reflect the revised segment structure. See Note 17 – Segment Financial Data for additional information.

Separation from United Technologies

On April 3, 2020 (the "Distribution Date"), United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), since renamed RTX Corporation ("Raytheon Technologies Corporation" or "RTX"), completed the spin-off of Carrier into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation") through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") on a one-for-one basis of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Carrier to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date of the Distribution. In addition, the Company entered into several agreements with UTC and Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") that govern various aspects of the relationship among the Company, UTC and Otis. As of March 31, 2025, only certain portions of the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") remain in effect.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs pending adoption were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The ASU requires additional disclosures and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (DISE) ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about expenses by nature on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

NOTE 3: INVENTORIES, NET

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is primarily determined based on the first-in, first-out inventory method ("FIFO") or average cost methods, which approximates current replacement cost. However, certain subsidiaries use the last-in, first-out inventory method ("LIFO").

Table of Contents

Inventories, net consisted of the following:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Raw materials	$	653	$	625
Work-in-process	216		213
Finished goods	1,779		1,461

Inventories, net	$	2,648	$	2,299

The Company performs periodic assessments utilizing customer demand, production requirements and historical usage rates to determine the existence of excess and obsolete inventory and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods are net of valuation reserves of $241 million and $215 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

NOTE 4: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company records goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than its carrying value.

In connection with its revised segment structure, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test on its reporting units prior to the reorganization to determine if any impairment existed. The tests did not indicate any goodwill impairment. The Company then reassigned goodwill among its new reporting units using a relative fair value approach.

The changes in the carrying amount of reassigned goodwill were as follows:

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 20, 2024, the Company refinanced its revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders, permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.5 billion pursuant to an unsecured, unsubordinated revolving credit facility that matures in December 2029 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility supports the Company's commercial paper program and can be used for other general corporate purposes. Borrowings are available in U.S. Dollars and Euros. U.S. Dollar borrowings bear interest at either a Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10% and a ratings-based margin or, alternatively, at an alternate base rate plus a ratings-based margin. Euro borrowings bear interest at an adjusted EURIBOR rate plus a ratings-based margin. A ratings-based commitment fee is charged on unused commitments. Upon entering into the agreement, the Company capitalized $11 million of deferred financing costs which are being amortized over its term. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Commercial Paper Program

The Company has a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program, which can be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. As of March 31, 2025, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

Project Financing Arrangements

The Company is involved in long-term construction contracts in which it arranges project financing with certain customers. As a result, the Company issued $6 million and $10 million of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Long-term debt repayments associated with these financing arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, were zero and $5 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Debt Covenants

The Revolving Credit Facility, the indenture for the long-term notes and the five-year, JPY 54 billion (approximately $400 million) senior unsecured term loan facility ("Japanese Term Loan Facility") contain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of these types, which, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens, to make certain fundamental changes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the agreements governing its outstanding indebtedness.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that would be received if an asset is sold or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including foreign currency and commodity price risk. These exposures are managed through operational strategies and the use of undesignated hedging contracts. The Company's derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using internal models based on observable market inputs, such as forward, interest, contract and discount rates with changes in fair value reported in Other income (expense), net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During 2022, the Company entered into cross currency swaps with various financial institutions to fund a portion of the Yen-denominated purchase price of Toshiba Carrier Corporation ('TCC"). The cross currency swaps are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates as well as credit default swap spreads. The Company designated the cross currency swaps as a partial hedge of its investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Japanese Yen in order to manage foreign currency translation risk. As a result, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in Equity in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. From time to time, the Company settles and enters into new cross currency swaps with the same purpose and characteristics as initially established.

The remaining portion of the Yen-denominated purchase price was funded by the Japanese Term Loan Facility. The carrying value of the facility is translated on a recurring basis using the exchange rate at the end of the applicable period and approximates its fair value. The Company designated the Japanese Term Loan Facility as a partial hedge of its investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Japanese Yen in order to manage foreign currency translation risk. As a result, changes in the carrying value of the term loan facility associated with foreign exchange rate movements are recorded in Equity in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During 2023, the Company entered into several interest rate swap contracts to mitigate interest rate exposure on the forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The contracts had an aggregate notional amount of $1.5 billion and were designated as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value reported in Equity in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Fair value was measured on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates. In November 2023, the contracts were settled upon the issuance of the underlying debt. As a result, the Company deferred a net unrecognized gain of $58 million in Equity which will be subsequently recognized in Interest expense over the term of the related notes which range from 2034 to 2054. The amount expected to be amortized during 2025 is a net gain of $4 million.

Table of Contents

The Company enters into cross currency swaps in order to manage foreign currency translation risk on assets denominated in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. The swaps have an aggregate notional amount of $2.0 billion and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates. The Company designates the cross currency swaps as a partial hedge of its investments in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. Dollar. As a result, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in Equity in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value and measured on a recurring basis in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:

The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's long-term notes that are not recorded at fair value in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:


	March 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value



Total long-term notes (1)	$	10,610	$	9,774	$	11,728	$	10,798

(1) Excludes debt discount and issuance costs.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is measured based on observable market inputs which are considered Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts and would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's financing leases and project financing obligations, included in Long-term debt and Current portion of long-term debt on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, approximate fair value and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(1) The cash settled awards are classified as liability awards and are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date.

NOTE 9: PRODUCT WARRANTIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides standard warranty coverage on its products. Provisions for these amounts are established at the time of sale and estimated primarily based on product warranty terms and historical claims experience. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with specific product performance issues. Provisions for these amounts are established when they are known and estimable. The Company assesses the adequacy of its initial provisions and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated claims or as new information becomes available that suggests it is probable that future costs will be different than estimated amounts. Amounts associated with these provisions are classified on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Accrued liabilities or Other long-term liabilities based on their anticipated settlement date.

NOTE 10: EQUITY

The authorized number of shares of common stock of Carrier is 4,000,000,000 shares of $0.01 par value. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 949,244,473 and 948,068,772 shares of common stock were issued, respectively, which includes 89,054,545 and 70,093,639 shares of treasury stock, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and at the Company's discretion. Repurchases occur in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions pursuant to plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Shares acquired are recognized at cost and presented separately on the balance sheet as a reduction to Equity. Since the initial authorization in February 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7.1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 19.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 billion. As a result, the Company had approximately $1.9 billion remaining under the current authorization at March 31, 2025.

NOTE 11: REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A significant portion of the Company's performance obligations are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. The remaining portion of the Company’s performance obligations are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously obtains control as the Company performs work under a contract, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets relate to the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under a contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage-of-completion methodology. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is conditioned upon transfer of a good or service to a customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.

The Company recognized revenue of $180 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2025. The Company expects a majority of its current contract liabilities at the end of the period to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

NOTE 12: RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The Company incurs costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to improve operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include improving productivity, workforce reductions and the consolidation of facilities. Due to the size, nature and frequency of these discrete plans, they are fundamentally different from the Company's ongoing productivity actions.

The Company recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring initiatives as follows:

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $56 million accrued for costs associated with its announced restructuring initiatives. The balance relates to cost reduction efforts, primarily severance related across each of the Company's segments. The Company expects a majority of the balance to be utilized within one year.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate was 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared with 19.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the absence of a $21 million tax benefit associated with the TMA and UTC's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2025 included an $8 million tax benefit generated by the purchase of investment tax credits from a third-party.

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis through an analysis of potential sources of future taxable income, including prior year taxable income that may be available to absorb a carryback of tax losses, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and forecasts of taxable income. The Company considers all negative and positive evidence, including the weight of the evidence, to determine whether valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are required. The Company maintains valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets.

The Company conducts business globally and files income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, the Company's operations were included in UTC's combined tax returns for the periods through the Distribution. The IRS finalized the examination of UTC's tax years 2017 and 2018 resulting in the recognition of a tax benefit of $21 million in the first quarter of 2024. The IRS examination of UTC's tax year 2020, which Carrier was included in through the date of Distribution, is expected to conclude in 2025. Carrier's tax year 2022 is under examination by the IRS, but is in an early stage. In the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Australia tax office began an audit of the Company's 2021 tax return, including the review of the disentanglement of the Chubb Australia business. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years prior to 2020 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2013.

In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying the Company's income tax positions. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of $15 million to $30 million may occur within 12 months as a result of additional uncertain tax positions, the revaluation of uncertain tax positions arising from examinations, appeals, court decisions and/or the expiration of tax statutes.

NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed by dividing Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareowners by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period (excluding treasury stock). Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except per share amounts)	2025		2024
Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareowners	$	412	$	269

Basic weighted-average number of shares outstanding	866.9		899.2
Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent)	11.4		13.8
Diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding	878.3		913.0

Antidilutive shares excluded from computation of diluted earnings per share	3.7		4.2

NOTE 15: ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. As a result, the aggregate purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimate of fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.

Viessmann Climate Solutions

On January 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the VCS Business from Viessmann for total consideration of $14.2 billion. The purchase price consisted of (i) $11.2 billion in cash and (ii) 58,608,959 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to certain lock-up provisions and anti-dilution protection. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with a combination of cash on hand, long term debt issuances and borrowings under various term facilities.

The VCS Business develops intelligent, integrated and sustainable technologies, including heat pumps, boilers, photovoltaic systems, home battery storage and digital solutions, primarily for residential customers in Europe. The Company believes that secular trends in these areas will drive significant, sustained future growth. In addition, the Company anticipates realizing significant operational synergies including savings through supplier rationalization and leverage, reduced manufacturing costs and lower general and administrative costs. Longer term, the Company expects to benefit from synergies related to service revenue expansion, leverage of distribution channels and cross-selling opportunities.

The components of the purchase price are as follows:


(In millions)	January 2, 2024
Cash	$	11,156
Common shares (58,608,959 shares at $51.20 per share)	3,001
Total consideration	$	14,157

Future income tax obligations	(1,810)
Other liabilities	(301)
Total identifiable net assets	6,542
Goodwill	7,607
Total consideration	$	14,149

The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $7.6 billion, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Accounts receivable and current liabilities were stated at their historical carrying value, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The estimate of fair value for inventory and fixed assets was based on an assessment of the acquired assets' condition as well as an evaluation of the current market value of such assets.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on its estimate of fair value which consisted of the following:


(In millions)	Estimated Useful Life (in years)	Intangible Assets Acquired
Customer relationships	17	$	4,787
Technology	10 - 20	1,051
Trademark	40	679
Backlog	1	123
Other	50	5
Total intangible assets acquired		$	6,645

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology including the multi-period excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected short-term revenue growth rates, research and development expenses, EBITDA margins, income tax rates, discount rates, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, contributory asset charge and obsolescence rates among others. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The Company finalized the process of allocating the purchase price and valuing the acquired assets and liabilities during 2024.

During 2024, $40 million of acquisition-related costs were incurred, of which $30 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These acquisition costs are reflected within Selling, general and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VCS Business were consolidated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of acquisition and reported primarily within the Company's Climate Solutions Europe segment.

NOTE 17: SEGMENT FINANCIAL DATA

The Company conducts its operations through four reportable operating segments. In accordance with ASC 280 - Segment Reporting, the Company's segments maintain separate financial information for which results of operations are evaluated on a regular basis by the Company's CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

•Climate Solutions Americas (CSA) provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in North and South America while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Europe (CSE) provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in Europe while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa (CSAME) provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Transportation (CST) includes global transport refrigeration and monitoring products, services and digital solutions for trucks, trailers, shipping containers, intermodal and rail.

The Corporate and Other category primarily includes corporate administrative functions such as tax, treasury, internal audit, legal and human resources. A portion of these costs and costs associated with shared service centers that provide transaction processing, accounting and other business support functions are allocated to the reportable segments.

Segment operating profit is the measure of profit and loss that the Company’s CODM, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. It represents operating profit (a GAAP measure) adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other significant items of a nonoperational nature. Targets are established on an annual basis and used by the CODM throughout the year to compare with actual results. Quarterly forecasts supplement annual targets and provide incremental information utilized to assess the performance of a segment. Variance analysis further provides insight into segment end-markets and operational cost optimization. These results also support the CODM to manage the Company’s business portfolio.

Consistent with the management approach for segment reporting, the tables below present reported external net sales and significant expense categories for each of the Company’s segments that are regularly provided to the CODM and included in its reported measure of segment profit or loss. The Company manages research and development costs on a global basis and allocates these costs to the reportable segments.

A summary of results by reportable segment are as follows:

(In millions)	2025		2024
Sales to equity method investees included in Product sales	$	780	$	723
Purchases from equity method investees included in Cost of products sold	$	47	$	55

The Company had receivables from and payables to equity method investees as follows:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Receivables from equity method investees included in Accounts receivable, net	$	311	$	363
Payables to equity method investees included in Accounts payable	$	32	$	32

NOTE 19: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental (including asbestos) and legal matters. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount. In addition, these estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of the following matters based on the information currently available, except as otherwise noted. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to individual sites, including the technology required to remediate, current laws and regulations and prior remediation experience.

The outstanding liabilities for environmental obligations are as follows:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Environmental reserves included in Accrued liabilities	$	18	$	25
Environmental reserves included in Other long-term liabilities	188		185
Total Environmental reserves	$	206	$	210

For sites with multiple responsible parties, the Company considers its likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation costs and the ability of other parties to fulfill their obligations in establishing a provision for these costs. Accrued environmental liabilities are not reduced by potential insurance reimbursements and are undiscounted.

Asbestos Matters

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos allegedly integrated into certain Carrier products or business premises. While the Company has never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporates it into any currently-manufactured products, certain products that the Company no longer manufactures contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or have been covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos-related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any period.

The Company's asbestos liabilities and related insurance recoveries are as follows:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Asbestos liabilities included in Accrued liabilities	$	17	$	17
Asbestos liabilities included in Other long-term liabilities	203		208
Total Asbestos liabilities	$	220	$	225

Asbestos-related recoveries included in Other current assets	$	7	$	7
Asbestos-related recoveries included in Other assets	86		88
Total Asbestos-related recoveries	$	93	$	95

The amounts recorded for asbestos-related liabilities are based on currently available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and are made with input from outside actuarial experts. These amounts are undiscounted and exclude the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims, which are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has recorded insurance recovery receivables for probable asbestos-related recoveries.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam Litigation

As of March 31, 2025, the Company, Kidde-Fenwal, Inc. ("KFI") and others have been named as defendants in more than 10,000 lawsuits filed in United States state or federal courts and a single case in Canada alleging that the historic use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam ("AFFF") caused personal injuries and damage to property and water supplies. In December 2018, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred and consolidated all AFFF cases pending in the U.S. federal courts against the Company, KFI and others to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the "MDL Proceedings"). Individual plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings generally seek damages for alleged personal injuries, medical monitoring, diminution in property value and injunctive relief to remediate alleged contamination of water supplies. U.S. state, municipal and water utility plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings generally seek damages and costs related to the remediation of public property and water supplies.

AFFF is a firefighting foam, developed beginning in the late 1960s pursuant to U.S. military specification, used to extinguish certain types of hydrocarbon-fueled fires. The lawsuits identified above relate to Kidde Fire Fighting, Inc., which owned the “National Foam” business that manufactured AFFF for sale to government (including the U.S. federal government) and non-government customers in the U.S. at a single facility located in West Chester, Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Site"). Kidde Fire Fighting, Inc. was acquired by a UTC subsidiary in 2005 and merged into KFI in 2007. In 2013, KFI divested the AFFF businesses to an unrelated third party. The Company acquired KFI as part of the Separation in April 2020.

The key components that contribute to AFFF's fire-extinguishing capabilities are known as fluorosurfactants. Neither the Company, nor KFI, nor any of the Company's subsidiaries involved in the AFFF litigation manufactured fluorosurfactants. Instead, the National Foam business purchased these substances from unrelated third parties for use in manufacturing AFFF. Plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings allege that the fluorosurfactants used by various manufacturers in producing AFFF contained, or over time degraded into, compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (referred to collectively as "PFAS"), including perflourooctanesulfonic acid ("PFOS") and perflourooctanoic acid ("PFOA"). Plaintiffs further allege that, as a result of the use of AFFF, PFOS and PFOA were released into the environment and, in some instances, ultimately reached drinking water supplies.

Plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings have named multiple defendants, including suppliers of chemicals and raw materials used to manufacture fluorosurfactants, fluorosurfactant manufacturers and AFFF manufacturers. The defendants in the MDL Proceedings moved for summary judgment on the government contractor defense, which potentially applies to AFFF sold to or used by the U.S. government. After full briefing and oral argument, on September 16, 2022, the MDL court declined to enter summary judgment for the defendants. The defense, however, remains available at any trial in which it would apply.

On May 14, 2023, KFI filed a voluntary petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”) seeking relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, after the Company determined that it would not provide financial support to KFI going forward other than ensuring KFI has access to services necessary for the effective operation of its business. As a result, all litigation against KFI was automatically stayed. By agreement, all AFFF-related litigation against the Company, its other subsidiaries and RTX also was stayed. On November 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court ordered certain parties, including the Company, to participate in mediation sessions with respect to claims that might be asserted by and against it in the bankruptcy proceedings.

Following the conclusion of these mediation sessions in October 2024, the Company entered into a Settlement and Plan Support Agreement which contemplates that the Company will subsequently enter into three distinct settlement agreements (collectively, the “Proposed Settlement Agreements”) with KFI, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors appointed in KFI’s bankruptcy case (the “Committee”) and the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee (the “MDL PEC”) appointed in the MDL Proceedings.

The first of the Proposed Settlement Agreements relates to claims that the Company is responsible for liabilities arising from KFI’s manufacture or sale of AFFF (“Estate Claims Settlement”). Upon Bankruptcy Court approval, the Estate Claims Settlement will permanently resolve all present and future claims that the Company is responsible for any liabilities of KFI, including all liabilities arising from KFI’s manufacture and sale of AFFF. The second and third of the Proposed Settlement Agreements release a very substantial amount of current and future direct claims against the Company (the “Direct Claims Settlements”). Direct claims allege that UTC, which indirectly owned KFI’s AFFF business for eight years, engaged in conduct independent of KFI that caused harm to AFFF claimants. The Company agreed to indemnify UTC for these direct claims when it was spun-off from UTC. Upon approval by the MDL Court, the Direct Claims Settlements resolve and enjoin all current and future AFFF-related direct claims against the Company by participating public water providers and airports. Non-settling parties may still assert direct AFFF-related claims, although we expect a vast majority of public water providers and airports will participate in the Direct Claims Settlements.

As part of the Proposed Settlement Agreements, the Company will pay $615 million in cash over five years, 100% of the net sale proceeds from its sale of KFI’s assets to Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, which are estimated to be $115 million, and contribute the right to recover proceeds under certain of its insurance policies. The Company will be entitled to receive up to $2.4 billion of proceeds from those insurance policies and will contribute the first $125 million of such proceeds as additional consideration in the Direct Claims Settlements. The Company also will be entitled to any earnouts payable to KFI under the KFI sale agreement. The Company expects insurance payments it receives in the future, in the aggregate, to cover the amount paid under the Proposed Settlement Agreements. As a result of the Proposed Settlement Agreements, the Company recorded a liability in the amount of $565 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The amount recognized is in addition to liabilities of $50 million that the Company recorded upon the deconsolidation of KFI on May 14, 2023, as further discussed below. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not recorded any amounts associated with expected insurance proceeds.

The Company and KFI believe that they have meritorious defenses to the remaining AFFF claims. Given the numerous factual, scientific and legal issues to be resolved relating to these claims, the Company is unable to assess the probability of liability or to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time. There can be no assurance that any such future exposure will not be material in any period.

On November 14, 2024, KFI filed the chapter 11 plan of liquidation (as may be further amended, restated, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Chapter 11 Plan"), which incorporates the Estate Claims Settlement, provides for the treatment of the various creditor classes, and establishes wind-down provisions, among other things, and the disclosure statement for the Chapter 11 Plan (as may be further amended, restated, supplemented, waived, or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Disclosure Statement"). A hearing to approve the Disclosure Statement, its ancillary documents and establish a Chapter 11 Plan confirmation timeline in the Bankruptcy Court is expected to be held in May 2025.

Deconsolidation Due to Bankruptcy

As of May 14, 2023, the Company no longer controlled KFI as its activities are subject to review and oversight by the Bankruptcy Court. Therefore, KFI was deconsolidated and its respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon deconsolidation, the Company determined the fair value of its retained interest in KFI to be zero and we accounted for it prospectively using the cost method.

In connection with the bankruptcy filing, KFI entered into several agreements with subsidiaries of the Company to ensure they have access to services necessary for the effective operation of their business. All post-deconsolidation activity between the Company and KFI are reported as third-party transactions recorded within the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Since the petition date, there were no material transactions between the Company and KFI other than a $15 million payment during 2024 by the Company to KFI under the terms of a tax sharing arrangement.

Income Taxes

Under the TMA relating to the Separation, the Company is responsible to UTC for its share of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act transition tax associated with foreign undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2017. As a result, a liability of $101 million is included within the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Other Long-Term Liabilities as of March 31, 2025. This obligation is expected to be settled in April 2026. The Company believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of this amount is remote.

Other

The Company has other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The Company does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Summary

Carrier Global Corporation ("we" or "our") is a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions with a focus on providing differentiated, digitally-enabled lifecycle solutions to our customers. Our portfolio includes industry-leading brands such as Carrier, Viessmann, Toshiba, Automated Logic and Carrier Transicold that offer innovative heating, ventilating, air conditioning ("HVAC") and cold chain transportation solutions to enhance the lives we live and the world we share. We also provide a broad array of related building services, including audit, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring. Our operations are classified into four segments: Climate Solutions Americas, Climate Solutions Europe, Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa and Climate Solutions Transportation.

Through our performance-driven culture, we anticipate creating long-term shareowner value by investing strategically to strengthen our product position in homes, buildings and across the cold chain in order to drive profitable growth. We believe our business segments are well positioned to benefit from favorable secular trends, including the mega-trends of urbanization, population growth and demographic shifts, food security and safety, digitalization, global connectivity and energy efficiency. Coupled with our industry-leading brands and track record of innovation, we continue to provide market-leading solutions for our customers.

Our worldwide operations are affected by global and regional industrial, economic and political factors, trade policies and trends. They are also affected by changes in the general level of economic activity, such as changes in business and consumer spending, construction and shipping activity as well as short-term economic factors such as currency fluctuations, commodity price volatility and supply disruptions. We continue to invest in our business, take pricing actions to mitigate supply chain and inflationary pressures, develop new products and services in order to remain competitive in our markets and use risk management strategies to mitigate various exposures.

We are actively monitoring evolving macroeconomic conditions and recent trade policy announcements. Based on our preliminary analysis, we expect to fully mitigate our expected 2025 impact from tariffs announced to date through supply chain and productivity actions as well as approximately $300 million of incremental product pricing actions. To date, tariffs have not had a material impact on our business and we are deploying additional strategies, including cost containment measures, to limit future exposure in this current market environment.

Recent Developments

Portfolio Transformation

During 2024, we completed several activities designed to simplify our business portfolio, transforming it into a pure-play climate and energy solutions provider. On January 2, 2024, we acquired the climate solutions business (the "VCS Business") of Viessmann Group GmbH & Co. KG (“Viessmann”). The VCS Business, primarily reported in the Climate Solutions Europe segment, is a premier residential and light commercial HVAC provider in Europe that expanded our portfolio to offer a global, comprehensive suite of sustainable and innovative building and cold-chain solutions. In addition, we divested our Commercial and Residential Fire, Access Solutions and Industrial Fire businesses which were historically reported in our Fire & Security segment. The transactions represented a single disposal plan to separately divest multiple businesses over different reporting periods and met the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. We also divested our Commercial Refrigeration business (“CCR”) during 2024. CCR, which was historically reported in the Climate Solutions Transportation segment (previously named Refrigeration), did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.

Segment Reorganization

As a result of our portfolio transformation, we revised our reportable segments during the first quarter to better reflect our business strategy, align our management reporting and increase transparency for investors. Under the revised segment structure, we have three new regional HVAC operating segments. Combined with the existing Climate Solutions Transportation operating segment, the four operating segments also serve as our reportable segments. This model is designed to create a simplified, more focused and customer-centric organization across the globe. Each segment reports through separate management teams which regularly review their operating results with our Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM") determined in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. In connection with the revised structure, the CODM changed the measure used to evaluate segment profitability from Operating profit to Segment operating profit. All prior period comparative information has been recast to reflect the revised segment structure.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe that the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their potential significance to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2024 Form 10-K, we describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as noted below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared with the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

The following represents our consolidated net sales and operating results:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025		2024		Period Change		% Change

Net earnings (loss) attributable to common shareowners	$	412	$	269	$	143	53	%

Net Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net sales were $5.2 billion, a 4% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Organic	2	%
Foreign currency translation	(1)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	(5)	%

Total % change	(4)	%

Organic sales for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by 2% compared with the same period of 2024. The organic increase was primarily due to our Climate Solutions Americas segment as strong end-market demand continued to drive higher volumes. In addition, higher volumes benefited our Climate Solutions Transportation segment. These results were partially offset by lower end-market demand in both Climate Solutions Europe and Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa. Refer to "Segment Review" below for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Gross Margin

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, gross margin was $1.4 billion, a 4% increase compared with the same period of 2024. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025			2024
Net sales	$	5,218		$	5,420
Cost of products and services sold	(3,773)			(4,035)
Gross margin	$	1,445		$	1,385
Percentage of net sales	27.7		%	25.6		%

Gross margin increased by $60 million compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of Net sales increased by 210 basis points compared with the same period of 2024. The prior period included inventory step-up and backlog amortization resulting from the recognition of acquired assets of the VCS Business at fair value which are now fully amortized. These costs had a 200 basis point unfavorable impact on the prior period gross margin as a percentage of Net sales. In addition, ongoing customer demand, pricing improvements and our continued focus on productivity initiatives further benefited gross margin.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, operating expenses, including Equity method investment net earnings, were $816 million, an 18% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025			2024
Selling, general and administrative	$	(729)		$	(807)
Research and development	(153)			(192)
Equity method investment net earnings	44			31
Other income (expense), net	22			(32)
Total operating expenses	$	(816)		$	(1,000)
Percentage of net sales	15.6		%	18.5		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Selling, general and administrative expenses were $729 million, a 10% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The decrease relates to productivity initiatives associated with our portfolio transformation and synergies associated with the integration of the VCS Business. These benefits were partially offset by higher compensation and other employee-related costs. In addition, the current period also included $6 million of acquisition and divestiture-related costs compared with $48 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Research and development costs relate to new product development and new technology innovation. Due to the variable nature of program development schedules, year-over-year spending levels can fluctuate. In addition, we continue to invest to prepare for future product innovations and digital controls technologies.

Investments over which we do not exercise control, but have significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Equity method investment net earnings were $44 million, a 42% increase compared with the same period of 2024. The increase was primarily due to a $23 million non-recurring charge in the prior year associated with the devaluation of U.S. Dollar denominated balances at an equity investment in Egypt.

Other income (expense), net primarily includes the impact of gains and losses related to the sale of businesses or interests in our equity method investments, foreign currency gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency and hedging-related activities. In connection with the acquisition of the VCS Business, we recognized an $86 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024, on the mark-to-market valuation of our window forward contracts associated with the expected cash outflows of the Euro-denominated purchase price of the VCS Business. In addition, we recognized a $46 million gain associated with the TMA and UTC's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

Non-Operating Income (Expense), net

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Non-operating income (expense), net was $81 million, a 43% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025		2024
Non-service pension (expense) benefit	$	1	$	—

Interest expense	$	(112)	$	(156)
Interest income	30		15
Interest (expense) income, net	$	(82)	$	(141)

Non-operating income (expense), net	$	(81)	$	(141)

Non-operating income (expense), net includes the results from activities other than normal business operations such as interest expense, interest income and the non-service components of pension and post-retirement obligations. Interest expense is affected by the amount of debt outstanding and the interest rates on that debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Interest expense was $112 million, a 28% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. Consistent with our capital allocation strategy, we reduced our outstanding debt by approximately $3 billion over the course of 2024 and repaid an additional $1.2 billion during the current period.

Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Effective tax rate	20.3	%	19.3	%

We account for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, which requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate was 20.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared with 19.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the absence of a $21 million tax benefit associated with the TMA and UTC's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the IRS recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024. In addition, the three months ended March 31, 2025 included an $8 million tax benefit generated by the purchase of investment tax credits from a third-party.

Adjusted Operating Profit

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In addition, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. Adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP measure and defined as consolidated operating profit (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items of a nonoperational nature. This measure is useful to investors because it is how management assesses the operating performance of the business. A reconciliation of the amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP to the corresponding non-GAAP measure appears below and provides additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measure.


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025		2024
Reconciliation to Adjusted operating profit
Operating profit	$	629	$	385

Restructuring costs	8		8
Amortization of acquired intangibles	201		172
Acquisition on step-up amortization	—		111
Acquisition/divestiture-related costs	5		48

Viessmann-related hedges	—		86
Gain on liability adjustment	—		(46)
Adjusted operating profit	$	843	$	764

Adjusted operating profit may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for Operating profit in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measure. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

SEGMENT REVIEW

We have four operating segments:

•Climate Solutions Americas provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in North and South America while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Europe provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in Europe while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa provides products, controls, services and solutions to meet the heating, cooling and ventilation needs of residential and commercial customers in Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa while enhancing building performance, health, energy efficiency and sustainability.

•Climate Solutions Transportation includes global transport refrigeration and monitoring products, services and digital solutions for trucks, trailers, shipping containers, intermodal and rail.

Segment operating profit is the measure of profit and loss that our CODM uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for resource allocation, performance reviews and compensation. It represents operating profit (a GAAP measure) adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other significant items of a nonoperational nature.

Climate Solutions Americas

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net sales were $2.6 billion, a 9% increase compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net sales
Organic	9	%
Foreign currency translation	—	%


Total % change in Net sales	9	%

The organic increase in Net sales of 9% was driven by continued strong results in the segment. Growth in our residential business (up 20%) was primarily driven by strong end-market demand and pricing improvements compared to the prior year. In addition, ongoing customer demand in our commercial business (up 15%) further benefited segment results. These amounts were partially offset by reduced end-market demand in our light commercial business (down 34%).

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Segment operating profit was $570 million, a 34% increase compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Segment operating profit
Operational	36	%
Foreign currency translation	(2)	%



Total % change in Segment operating profit	34	%

The segment operational profit increase of 36% was primarily attributable to ongoing customer demand in certain end-markets compared with the prior year. In addition, favorable productivity initiatives and higher earnings from equity method investments further benefited segment results. These benefits more than offset volume reductions in certain end-markets and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Climate Solutions Europe

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net sales were $1.2 billion, a 10% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net sales
Organic	(7)	%
Foreign currency translation	(3)	%



Total % change in Net sales	(10)	%

The organic decrease in Net sales of 7% was driven by ongoing challenges in certain end-markets compared with the prior year. Results in our residential and light commercial business decreased (down 11%) due to lower volumes across the region as economic conditions, inflationary cost pressures and regulatory uncertainty impacted end-market demand. The reduction was partially offset by continued growth in our commercial business (up 5%) as a result of strong end-market demand and pricing improvements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Segment operating profit was $105 million, a 37% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Segment operating profit
Operational	(35)	%
Foreign currency translation	(2)	%



Total % change in Segment operating profit	(37)	%

The segment operational profit decrease of 35% was primarily attributable to volume reductions in certain end-markets compared with the prior year. Volume reductions were partially offset by favorable material costs, business integration synergies associated with the acquisition of the VCS Business and lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

Climate Solutions Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net sales were $826 million, a 7% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net sales
Organic	(6)	%
Foreign currency translation	(1)	%


Total % change in Net sales	(7)	%

The organic decrease in Net sales of 6% was driven by volume reductions within certain end-markets compared with the prior year. Results in China decreased (down 11%) as both commercial and residential end-markets experienced economic challenges impacting demand. These results were partially offset by improved end-market demand in the remaining region.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Segment operating profit was $121 million, an 12% increase compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Segment operating profit
Operational	10	%
Foreign currency translation	2	%



Total % change in Segment operating profit	12	%

The segment operational profit increase of 10% was primarily attributable to higher earnings from equity method investments compared with the prior year. The increase was driven by the absence of a $23 million non-recurring charge in the prior year associated with the devaluation of U.S. Dollar denominated balances at an equity investment in Egypt. In addition, the segment benefited from favorable productivity initiatives and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. These benefits more than offset volume reductions in certain end-markets.

Climate Solutions Transportation

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Net sales were $651 million, a 26% decrease compared to the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net sales
Organic	2	%
Foreign currency translation	(1)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	(27)	%


Total % change in Net sales	(26)	%

The organic increase in Net sales of 2% was primarily driven by volume growth within certain end-markets compared with the prior year. Container results increased (up 20%) due to improved end-market demand and pricing improvements. These results were partially offset by our transport refrigeration business (down 3%) as lower end-market demand in Europe and North America more than offset improved end-market demand in Asia.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, Segment operating profit was $97 million, a 14% decrease compared with the same period of 2024. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Segment operating profit
Operational	(9)	%
Foreign currency translation	(2)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	(3)	%


Total % change in Segment operating profit	(14)	%

The decrease in segment operational profit of 9% was primarily driven by higher costs associated with warranty-related issues. In addition, unfavorable mix further impacted the segment. These amounts were partially offset by higher volumes and pricing improvements compared with the prior year. In addition, the segment benefited from lower selling, general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash necessary to fund our current and future cash requirements to support our business and strategic initiatives. In doing so, we review and analyze our cash on hand, working capital, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We rely on operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity. In addition, we have access to other sources of capital to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth.

As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.7 billion, of which approximately 85% was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds and the cost effectiveness with which we can access funds held by foreign subsidiaries. On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits in connection with contractual obligations related to acquisitions, divestitures or other legal obligations. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $4 million and $3 million, respectively.

We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. This is accomplished through research and development activities with a focus on new product development and new technology innovation as well as sustaining activities with a focus on improving existing products and reducing production costs. We also pursue potential acquisitions to complement existing products and services to enhance our product portfolio. In addition, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments to manage our business portfolio.

We believe that our available cash and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Our committed credit facilities and access to the debt and equity markets provide additional sources of short-term and long-term capital to fund current operations, debt maturities and future investment opportunities. Although we believe that the arrangements currently in place permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (1) our credit ratings or absence of credit ratings, (2) the level of our existing indebtedness, (3) the restrictions under our debt agreements, (4) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (5) the state of the economy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.

The following table contains several key measures of our financial condition and liquidity:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,698		$	3,969
Total debt	$	11,184		$	12,278
Total equity	$	14,198		$	14,395

Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)	$	9,486		$	8,309
Total capitalization (total debt plus total equity)	$	25,382		$	26,673
Net capitalization (total debt plus total equity less cash and cash equivalents)	$	23,684		$	22,704
Total debt to total capitalization	44		%	46		%
Net debt to net capitalization	40		%	37		%

Borrowings and Lines of Credit

We maintain a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program which we can use for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. In addition, we maintain a $2.5 billion revolving credit agreement with various banks (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that matures in December 2029 which supports our commercial paper borrowing program and can be used for general corporate purposes. A ratings-based commitment fee is charged on unused commitments. As of March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program or our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our short-term obligations primarily consist of current maturities of long-term debt. Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term notes with maturity dates ranging between 2027 and 2054. Interest payments related to long-term notes are expected to approximate $398 million per year, reflecting an approximate weighted-average interest rate of 3.63%. Any borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates. See Note 5 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit in the Notes to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our long-term debt obligations.

Our credit ratings are periodically reviewed by the major independent debt-rating agencies. As of March 31, 2025, Standards & Poor's Global Inc., Moody’s Investor Service Inc. and Fitch Ratings Inc. have ratings on our debt set forth in the table below:

Portfolio Transformation

On June 2, 2024, we completed the divestiture of our Access Solutions business for cash proceeds of $5.0 billion. On July 1, 2024, we completed the divestiture of our Industrial Fire business for cash proceeds of $1.4 billion. On October 1, 2024, we completed the divestiture of CCR for cash proceeds of $679 million, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. On December 2, 2024, we completed the divestiture of the Commercial and Residential Fire business for cash proceeds of $2.9 billion, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. Consistent with our capital allocation strategy, the net proceeds were used to fund repayment of debt, invest in organic and inorganic growth initiatives, capital returns to shareowners as well as for general corporate purposes.

Share Repurchase Program

We may repurchase our outstanding common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and at our discretion. Repurchases occur in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions pursuant to plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Since the initial authorization in February 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $7.1 billion of our outstanding common stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we repurchased 19.0 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1.3 billion. As a result we had approximately $1.9 billion remaining under the current authorization at March 31, 2025.

Dividends

We paid dividends on common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2025, totaling $198 million. In April 2025, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.23 per share of common stock payable on May 22, 2025, to shareowners of record at the close of business on May 2, 2025.

Discussion of Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the following periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2025		2024
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Continuing operating activities	$	488	$	45
Continuing investing activities	(30)		(11,080)
Continuing financing activities	(2,747)		2,383

Cash flows from continuing operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our continuing operations. Primary activities include net earnings from continuing operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities. The year-over-year increase in net cash provided by continuing operating activities was primarily driven by higher net earnings and a decrease in working capital balances compared with the prior period. Higher accounts payable balances more than offset higher accounts receivable and inventory balances.

Cash flows from continuing investing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with long-term assets. Primary activities include capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in continuing investing activities was $30 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to $63 million of capital expenditures which was partially offset by $36 million cash inflow related to settlement of derivatives. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in continuing investing activities was $11.1 billion. The primary driver of the outflow related to the acquisition of the VCS Business, which totaled $10.8 billion, net of cash acquired. Additional investing outflows include $209 million related to settlement of derivatives and $102 million of capital expenditures.

Cash flows from continuing financing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with equity or borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, net cash used in continuing financing activities was $2.7 billion. The primary driver of the outflow was related to repurchases of our common stock totaling $1.3 billion. In addition, we made long-term debt repayments of $1.2 billion and the payment of $198 million in dividends to our common shareowners. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by continuing financing activities was $2.4 billion. The primary driver of the inflow related to proceeds of long-term debt of $2.5 billion used to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of the VCS Business. This amount was partially offset by the outflow related to the payment of $159 million in dividends to our common shareowners.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk and Risk Management" in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, CFO and CAO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, CFO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
