PALM
BEACH GARDENS, Fla., Feb. 6, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE:CARR), global
leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions, today reported
strong financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of
2023. The Company projects continued solid organic growth in 2024
supported by a projected fourth consecutive year of double-digit
aftermarket growth, innovation, and significant secular
tailwinds.
"Our fourth quarter results continue to show Carrier's ability
to perform while transforming with strong operating profit growth
and EPS up over 30% compared to the prior year. For full-year
2023, we grew gross margins 210 basis points on 3% organic sales
growth with both operating and free cash flow up about 50% compared
to the prior year," said Carrier Chairman & CEO David Gitlin. "In addition to delivering results
ahead of our projections for the year, we completed our
game-changing combination with Viessmann Climate Solutions in
January and reached definitive agreements to sell both our Global
Access Solutions and Commercial Refrigeration businesses for close
to $6B combined. Looking
forward to 2024, our solid backlog levels and sustainability
leadership position Carrier for another year of strong financial
performance."
Fourth Quarter 2023 Results
Carrier's fourth quarter sales of $5.1B were flat compared to the prior year
including flat organic sales growth, a 1% tailwind from currency
translation and a 1% net negative impact from acquisitions and
divestitures. Sales in the HVAC segment were down 1% organically.
North America Residential & Light Commercial HVAC sales
declined high single digits due to weaker than expected residential
sales as distributors reduced inventory levels. This was offset by
high single digit growth in Commercial HVAC globally. The
Refrigeration segment returned to growth this quarter, with organic
sales up 6% driven by growth in Transport Refrigeration. Fire
and Security organic sales were down 1% driven by Global Access
Solutions and Residential Fire partially offset by growth in
Industrial Fire.
GAAP operating profit in the quarter of $607M was up 40% from the fourth quarter of 2022.
Adjusted operating profit of $557M
was up 8%.
Net income and adjusted net income were $420M and $452M,
respectively. GAAP EPS of $0.49 and
adjusted EPS of $0.53 benefitted from
operating margin expansion and lower effective tax rates. Net cash
flows provided by operating activities for the quarter were
approximately $1.1B and capital
expenditures were $233M, resulting in
free cash flow of $829M.
Full-Year 2023 Results
Carrier's 2023 sales of $22.1B
increased 8% compared to the prior year including organic sales
growth of 3% and a 5% impact from acquisitions and divestitures.
Gross margins increased 210 basis points compared to the prior
year. GAAP operating profit of $2.3B
decreased 49% due to prior year gains on the sale of Chubb and the
acquisition of Toshiba Carrier, while adjusted operating profit
increased 11% to $3.2B.
Operating margin decreased due to the prior year impact of the
Chubb and Toshiba Carrier-related gains. Adjusted operating
margin increased despite the impact from the consolidation of
Toshiba Carrier. Strong price realization more than offset
continued inflation and productivity savings more than offset
strategic incremental investments.
GAAP EPS was $1.58 and adjusted
EPS was $2.73. Net income was
$1.3B, and adjusted net income was
$2.3B. Net cash flows provided
by operating activities were $2.6B
and capital expenditures were $469M,
resulting in free cash flow of $2.1B. During the quarter the company
issued $5.6B of debt related to the
acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions.

SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA, NON-GAAP MEASURES AND
DEFINITIONS
Following are tables that present selected financial data of
Carrier Global Corporation. Also included are reconciliations of
non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP measures.
Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Carrier Global Corporation ("we" or "our") 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.
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 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
our ability to fund its activities, including the financing of
acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of our 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 we provide our expectations for organic sales, adjusted
operating profit, adjusted operating margin, adjusted interest
expense, net, adjusted effective tax rate, incremental
margins/earnings conversion, 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, 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.
