Honeywell Revenue by Business Segments

By business units, Honeywell’s revenue increases in Q3 were healthy as well. Revenue for the aerospace division rose to $2.97 billion, up 8.9 percent from $2.73 billion one year ago, while the Honeywell Building Technologies unit brought in $1.5 billion in revenue, up 11 percent from $1.37 billion a year ago. The Performance Materials and Technologies unit saw revenue increase by 8.6 percent to $2.7 billion, up from $2.5 billion one year ago. The Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions unit saw revenue fall by seven percent to $1.7 billion, down from $1.86 billion one year ago.

Sales in the aerospace division in Q3 rose 10 percent over the same quarter in 2021 on an organic basis, led by growth in commercial aviation. In Honeywell’s commercial aftermarket segment, demand remained strong as flight hours continued to recover, the company said, with sales growing organically by more than 20 percent in the air transport aftermarket and in the business and general aviation aftermarket. In the commercial original equipment category, sales increased 30 percent for Q3 compared to one year ago, driven by higher demand from air transport customers. At the same time, higher commercial aviation sales were partially offset by lower defense volumes, according to Honeywell.

In the Honeywell Building Technologies unit, Q3 sales rose 19 percent on an organic basis compared to one year ago, which included 23 percent organic sales growth in the company’s building products portfolio. Its building solutions unit also grew double digits organically in the quarter. This area has been a high performer for the company and looks to be a long term moat for the Honeywell as businesses and government seek to utilize building data to deliver more sustainable buildings as well as healthier environments for workers and consumers.

Q3 sales in the Performance Materials and Technologies unit rose 14 percent on an organic basis compared to 2021, despite lost sales to Russia due to the war in Ukraine. Advanced materials sales led the growth by more than 30 percent organically, according to Honeywell. Refining catalyst shipments and thermal solutions sales were both up by double digits in the quarter.

Sales for the Safety and Productivity Solutions unit in Q3 fell by four percent on an organic basis since the same quarter in 2021, while sales for advanced sensing and gas detection products were offset by lower sales of warehouse and workflow solutions and personal protective equipment.

Honeywell’s backlog for Q3 stands at $29.1 billion, which up nine percent from a year ago.
