First-Quarter Segment Highlights

Aerospace

• Sales were up 7%, compared with the first quarter of 2007, driven by 8% growth in Commercial and 5% growth in Defense and Space sales. Commercial sales reflected growth of 8% in original equipment and 8% in aftermarket spares and services. Defense and Space sales included the positive impact of the Dimensions International acquisition.

• Segment profit grew 13%, while segment margin increased by 100 bps to 18.6%, due primarily to increased prices, productivity, and sales volume growth, partially offset by inflation.

• Honeywell has been chosen to supply the latest generation of its HTF7000 turbofan propulsion system family for Embraer’s new MSJ and MLJ business aircraft in a contract valued at more than $23 billion (including aftermarket) over the life of the contract. The HTF7500-E engine will feature new technology to achieve reduced emissions and improved fuel efficiency.

• Honeywell was selected to supply avionics and mechanical systems for the new Gulfstream G650 aircraft worth an estimated $3 billion. The contract includes the first business jet application of Honeywell’s Next Generation Flight Management System, previously announced for the Boeing 747-8, as well as its RDR4000 turbulence certified weather radar that is in service on the Airbus A380 and Air Force C-17 aircraft.

Transportation Systems

• Sales were up 6%, compared with the first quarter of 2007, driven by the favorable impact of foreign exchange and increased sales in our Turbo Technologies business.

• Segment profit decreased 4%, while segment margin decreased by 130 bps to 11.7%, resulting from CPG volume declines, the impact of commodity inflation, and investments in product development to support future Turbo platforms.

These include new technology solutions for passenger vehicle diesel engines and will be produced in Japan and Europe for export to European and U.S. markets beginning in 2009.

• Segment profit grew 38%, while segment margin increased by 280 bps to 18.8%, driven by pricing and productivity gains which more than offset inflation.

Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow (Unaudited)

(Dollars in millions)

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
		2008		2007
Cash provided by operating activities	$	721	$	578
Expenditures for property, plant and equipment		(150)		(120)
Free cash flow	$	571	$	458

We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities, less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment.

We believe that this metric is useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by business operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, and to pay dividends, repurchase stock, or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. This metric can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from business operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.
