UTC Reports Second Quarter EPS Up 14 Percent to $1.32, Raises 2008 Revenue and Earnings Guidance
HARTFORD, Conn., July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Technologies Corp. NYSE: UTX today reported second quarter 2008 earnings per share of $1.32 and net income of $1.3 billion, up 14 percent and 11 percent, respectively, over the year ago quarter. Results for the current quarter include a $0.06 per share impact for restructuring costs as compared with a $0.02 per share impact in the year ago quarter. Excluding restructuring costs in both periods, earnings per share grew 17 percent year over year. Second quarter consolidated revenues increased 13 percent to $15.7 billion, including 6 percent organic growth. Foreign currency translation accounted for 5 points of the revenue growth and $0.04 of the earnings per share increase. Acquisitions accounted for the remainder of the revenue growth. "UTC segment operating profit grew 12 percent in the quarter, with exceptional performance at Otis, UTC Fire & Security, and Sikorsky," said Louis Chenevert, UTC President and Chief Executive Officer. "Based on the strong performance in the first half of the year, we are increasing our full year revenue and earnings per share guidance. We now expect revenue of more than $60 billion and earnings per share of $4.80 - $4.95, up from the prior guidance of $4.65 - $4.85 and 12 to 16 percent above 2007 earnings per share. "While the challenges in the world's economies we saw at the outset of the year are materializing, especially with higher oil prices impacting the airlines and the U.S. economy generally, we remain confident in our ability to deliver on this increased guidance given the balance across UTC's businesses and the strength in our backlogs," Chenevert said. "New equipment orders at Otis grew 23 percent in the quarter, including double digit growth in North America, Europe and China, while Carrier's commercial HVAC new equipment orders grew double digits globally. After strong orders through the early months of 2008, we are seeing some moderation in our commercial aerospace aftermarkets, with spare parts orders in the second quarter slightly below sales at both Pratt & Whitney and Hamilton Sundstrand." Chenevert added, "We continue to position the company for solid earnings growth in 2009 and beyond. We now expect to spend approximately $300 million on restructuring in 2008, substantially above the $150 million anticipated at the beginning of the year. We believe these actions, together with the balance of UTC's businesses, will help us outperform." Cash flow from operations was $1.4 billion and capital expenditures were $305 million for the quarter. Share repurchase totaled $719 million in the quarter and more than $1.5 billion in the first half. UTC anticipates continuing opportunistic repurchases over the balance of the year and potentially beyond the company's guidance of $2.0 billion for 2008.

Free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, is the principal cash performance measure used by the Company. Management believes free cash flow provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing the Corporation's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of the Corporation's Common Stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders. Others that use the term free cash flow may calculate it differently. The reconciliation of net cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles to free cash flow is above.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Debt to total capitalization equals total debt divided by total debt plus equity. Net debt to net capitalization equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by total debt plus equity less cash and cash equivalents. (2) Organic growth represents the total reported increase within the Corporation's ongoing businesses less the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months and significant non-recurring items. Non-recurring items that are not included in organic growth in 2007 include an $84 million gain at Otis from the sale of land (See Note 3 below), a $40 million gain at Pratt & Whitney from a contract termination, and $151 million from the sale of marketable securities. (3) Otis segment results for the first quarter of 2007 include an $84 million gain from the sale of land. The consolidated operating results include taxes related to the gain of approximately $29 million in addition to an approximately $27 million charge for the minority partner's interest in the gain. The resulting impact to consolidated net income is approximately $28 million. Company News On-Call: http://www.prnewswire.com/comp/913919.html / Website: http://www.utc.com/ |
