Fire & Security segment now reported as discontinued operations making prior guidance not comparable
Net sales of $6.0 billion up 21% versus third quarter 2023; organic sales up 4%
GAAP EPS from continuing operations of $0.62 and adjusted EPS from continuing operations of $0.77
Total GAAP EPS of $0.49 and adjusted EPS of $0.83
Final business exit on-track to close around year end
Board increases remaining share repurchase authorization to $4.7 billion
Updated full year guidance to reflect the impact of discontinued operations


PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., October 24, 2024Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE:CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, today reported strong financial results for the third quarter of 2024 and adjusted its full year guidance to reflect the move of the Fire & Security segment to discontinued operations. The guidance now only reflects continuing operations.
“We delivered another quarter of strong financial performance while making significant progress on our portfolio transformation," said Carrier Chair & CEO David Gitlin. “Organic sales growth was up mid-single digits – with aftermarket up 10% – and we grew orders roughly 20% as we continue to gain share across key segments. Strong operating performance driven by Carrier Excellence led to very strong core earnings conversion. Carrier continues to create tremendous value for our shareholders as we become a higher growth and more focused global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. Our new share repurchase authorization reflects our commitment to deliver shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation. We plan to have all our divestitures complete by the end of this year and we are very pleased with the recently announced settlements related to aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). With all of our transformational actions now

substantially behind us we can even further increase our focus on customers and delivering continued superior financial performance.
Third Quarter 2024 Results
Carrier’s third quarter sales of $6.0 billion were up 21% compared to the prior year including 4% organic growth and approximately 17% contribution from acquisitions, driven by Viessmann Climate Solutions. Foreign currency translation had no impact on sales growth. Organic sales in the HVAC segment were up 6%. HVAC sales in the Americas were up high-single-digits driven by continued strength in Commercial HVAC, which was up almost 20%, and double-digit growth in North America Residential HVAC. HVAC organic sales in EMEA were up low-single-digits, with Commercial HVAC up double-digits offsetting a decline in Residential and Light Commercial HVAC sales. These organic figures exclude the sales contribution of Viessmann Climate Solutions which was up 8% sequentially and down around 25% year-over-year. HVAC sales in Asia Pacific were down low-single-digits driven by declines in residential light commercial in China, partially offset by strength in Commercial HVAC and other countries in Asia. Refrigeration sales were up 1% organically driven by over 30% growth in container, mostly offset by declines in North America truck and trailer.
GAAP operating profit in the quarter of $0.8 billion was up 50% from last year primarily due to operational performance and the addition of Viessmann Climate Solutions. Adjusted operating profit of over $1.0 billion from continuing operations was up 19%, mostly driven by organic growth, price and productivity, and the addition of Viessmann Climate Solutions. Net income from continuing operations was $564 million and adjusted net earnings from continuing operations was $705 million. GAAP EPS from continuing operations was $0.62 and adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.77. GAAP EPS from discontinued operations was ($0.13) and adjusted EPS from discontinued operations was $0.06.
Year to date, preliminary net cash flows generated from operating activities were $431 million and capital expenditures were $312 million, resulting in preliminary free cash flow of $119 million. This includes cash tax payments of approximately $1 billion on the

gains of the business exits and approximately $300 million of transaction and restructuring costs.
Share Repurchase Authorization

On October 21, 2024, Carrier Global Corporation's Board of Directors approved a $3 billion share repurchase authorization. With the remaining portion of the prior authorization, Carrier currently has about $4.7 billion of repurchase authorization. Share repurchases, if any, will take place at the company’s discretion in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions, subject to, among other things, market conditions, share price, compliance with securities laws and regulatory requirements and other factors. The stock repurchase authorization has no time limit and may be modified, suspended or discontinued at any time. This authorization is a key component of the company's capital allocation plans, which also includes acquisitions and dividends to help position the company for strategic growth and to generate attractive shareowner returns.

Discontinued Operations
In 2023, the Company announced plans to exit its Fire & Security and Commercial Refrigeration businesses over the course of 2024. The announced plan to exit the Fire & Security segment represents a single disposal plan to separately divest multiple businesses over different reporting periods. Upon the Commercial and Residential Fire Business qualifying as held for sale during the three months ended September 30, 2024, the components of the Fire & Security segment in aggregate met the criteria to be presented as

discontinued operations in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations and unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. In addition, the assets and liabilities of the Commercial and Residential Fire Business have been reclassified to held for sale at December 31, 2023. The results of the Commercial Refrigeration business did not meet the criteria to be presented in discontinued operations. Accordingly, all financial measures presented herein, including non-GAAP financial measures, are associated with Carrier's continuing operations unless specifically noted. See “Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS

Following are tables that present selected financial data of Carrier Global Corporation (“Carrier”). Also included are reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Carrier reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. 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. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this Appendix. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

Organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, incremental margins / earnings conversion, earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”), adjusted interest expense, net, adjusted effective tax rate and net debt are non-GAAP financial measures and are associated with Carrier's continuing operations unless specifically noted.

Organic sales represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and other significant items of a nonoperational nature (hereinafter referred to as “other significant items”). Adjusted operating profit represents operating profit (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items. Adjusted operating margin represents adjusted operating profit as a percentage of net sales (a GAAP measure). Incremental margins / earnings conversion represents the year-over-year change in adjusted operating profit divided by the year-over-year change in net sales. EBITDA represents net income attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP measure), adjusted for interest income and expense, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, as calculated above, excluding non-service pension benefit, non-controlling interest in subsidiaries’ earnings from operations, restructuring costs and other significant items. Adjusted net income represents net income attributable to common shareowners (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items. Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items. Adjusted interest expense, net represents interest expense (a GAAP measure) and interest income (a GAAP measure), net excluding other significant items. The adjusted effective tax rate represents the effective tax rate (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items. Net debt represents long-term debt (a GAAP measure) less cash and cash equivalents (a GAAP measure). For the business segments, when applicable, adjustments of operating profit and operating margins represent operating profit, excluding restructuring, amortization of acquired intangibles and other significant items.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net cash flows provided by continuing operating activities (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Carrier’s ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of Carrier's common stock and distribution of earnings to shareowners.

Orders are contractual commitments with customers to provide specified goods or services for an agreed upon price and may not be subject to penalty if cancelled.

When Carrier provides our expectations for organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted interest expense, net, adjusted effective tax rate, incremental margins/earnings conversion, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EPS and free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected net sales, operating profit, operating margin, interest expense, effective tax rate, incremental operating margin, net income attributable to common shareowners, diluted EPS and net cash flows provided by operating activities) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, future restructuring costs, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
