________________________________________________________________________________

Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.81, up 14% versus the prior year period (see attached footnotes for non-GAAP reconciliation).

GAAP earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) was $1,011 million and EBIT margin was 12.5%. Adjusted EBIT was $1,062 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 13.1%, up 10 basis points over the prior year. Excluding the impact of the Scott Safety divestiture, foreign currency and lead prices, the underlying adjusted EBIT margin increased 70 basis points.
“We delivered another quarter of strong results, with our commitment to execution driving continued operating momentum across the organization. Organic sales growth accelerated to 6%, with solid growth in both Buildings and Power Solutions.  More disciplined operating fundamentals and processes are driving improved performance against all of our key initiatives, including service, pricing, orders, underlying margins and free cash flow,” said George Oliver, chairman and chief executive officer.
Additionally, I am very pleased with the significant progress we have made on the strategic review of our Power Solutions business, across multiple alternatives. We expect to conclude the review by the release of our fourth quarter earnings,” Oliver continued.    
“Based on our year-to-date performance and continued momentum in the businesses, we are tightening our full year guidance range for adjusted EPS from continuing operations to $2.80 to $2.82.”

Sales in the quarter were $2.2 billion, an increase of 5% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales also increased 5% versus the prior year, driven primarily by strong growth in Fire & Security and HVAC & Controls.
Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 8% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $5.4 billion increased 7% year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.
Adjusted segment EBITA was $318 million, up 10% versus the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 14.2% expanded 60 basis points driven by favorable volume and mix as well as cost synergies and productivity savings, partially offset by salesforce additions and, to a lesser extent, lower margin backlog conversion.

Sales in the quarter were $926 million, an increase of 4% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales were flat with the prior year as stronger service activity was offset primarily by continued softness in project installations in European HVAC and Industrial Refrigeration. By region, growth in Latin America and the Middle East was offset by declines in Europe.
Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 13% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $1.6 billion increased 6% year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.

Adjusted segment EBITA was $98 million, up 10% versus the prior year quarter. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 10.6% expanded 60 basis points over the prior year, including a 40 basis point headwind related to foreign currency. Adjusting for foreign currency, the underlying margin improved 100 basis points driven primarily by the benefit from cost synergies and productivity savings.

Sales in the quarter were $2.4 billion, an increase of 1% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales increased 7% versus the prior year led by high-single digit growth in both HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment and Building Management Systems, and mid-single digit growth in Specialty Products.
Adjusted segment EBITA was $441 million, down 1% versus the prior year, primarily attributable to the impact of the Scott Safety divestiture. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 18.2% declined 30 basis points over the prior year including a 90 basis point headwind related to the divestiture of the Scott Safety business. The underlying margin expanded 60 basis points as favorable volume leverage and the benefit of cost synergies and productivity savings was partially offset by product and channel investments.

Sales in the quarter were $1.8 billion, an increase of 14% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of higher lead pass-through and foreign currency, organic sales increased 10% driven by higher unit volumes, as well as favorable price and technology mix. Global original equipment battery shipments increased 6%, outpacing overall market demand, benefitting from several recent business wins. Aftermarket shipments also grew 6% driven by strong growth in EMEA and China. Start-stop battery shipments increased 30% year-over-year, led by strong growth in China, EMEA and the Americas.
Power Solutions adjusted segment EBITA was $310 million, a 2% increase compared to the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 16.9% decreased 200 basis points compared with the prior year, including a 150 basis point headwind related to the impact of higher lead prices and foreign currency. Power Solution's underlying margin declined 50 basis points as favorable volume mix and productivity savings were more than offset by higher transportation costs and planned incremental investments.

Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls’ control, that could cause Johnson Controls’ actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks related to: any delay or inability of Johnson Controls to realize the expected benefits and synergies of recent portfolio transactions such as the merger with Tyco and the spin-off of Adient, changes in tax laws (including but not limited to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), regulations, rates, policies or interpretations, the loss of key senior management, the tax treatment of recent portfolio transactions, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities associated with such transactions, the outcome of actual or potential litigation relating to such transactions, the risk that disruptions from recent transactions will harm Johnson Controls’ business, the strength of the U.S. or other economies, changes to laws or policies governing foreign trade, including increased tariffs or trade restrictions, automotive vehicle production levels, mix and schedules, energy and commodity prices, the availability of raw materials and component products, currency rates, cancellation of or changes to commercial arrangements, and with respect to the recently announced review of strategic alternatives for the Power Solutions business, which review is expected to conclude by the release of our fiscal 2018 fourth quarter earnings, uncertainties as to the structure and timing of any transaction and whether it will be completed, the possibility that closing conditions for a transaction may not be satisfied or waived, the impact of the strategic review and any transaction on Johnson Controls and the Power Solutions business on a standalone basis if a transaction is completed, and whether the strategic benefits of any transaction can be achieved. A detailed discussion of risks related to Johnson Controls’ business is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Johnson Controls’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2017 fiscal year filed with the SEC on November 21, 2017, and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on February 2, 2018 and May 3, 2018, respectively, which are and available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the “Investors” tab.

Non GAAP Financial Information
The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include mark-to-market for pension and postretirement plans, transaction/integration/separation costs, restructuring and impairment costs, nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts related to the Tyco merger, Scott Safety gain on sale and discrete tax items. Financial information regarding adjusted sales, organic sales, adjusted segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA margin and adjusted free cash flow are also presented, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items such as transaction/integration/separation costs and nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units. Management believes that, when considered together with unadjusted amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and business trends of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure.

(1) The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted net sales, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company's definition of adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

The following is the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 reconciliation of net sales, segment EBITA and segment EBITA margin as reported to adjusted net sales, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margin (unaudited):

2. Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include transaction/integration/separation costs, nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts related to the Tyco merger, mark-to-market gain or loss for pension and postretirement plans, Scott Safety gain on sale, restructuring and impairment costs and discrete tax items. The Company excludes these items because they are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

A reconciliation of diluted earnings per share as reported to diluted adjusted earnings per share for the respective periods is shown below (unaudited):

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding adjusted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted EBIT margin, organic adjusted net sales growth and adjusted free cash flow conversion (defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to JCI) for the full fiscal year of 2018, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses, income or cash flows from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period, including but not limited to the high variability of the net mark-to-market adjustments related to pension and postretirement plans and the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Our fiscal 2018 outlook for organic adjusted net sales growth also excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, and for our Power Solutions business, the impacts of lead price fluctuations. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full year 2018 GAAP financial results.

4. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash used by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes special items, as included in the table below, because these cash flows are not considered to be directly related to its underlying business. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash.

The following is the three and nine months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 reconciliation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (unaudited):
