Honeywell Aerospace (HONA) investor relations material

Standalone outlook and supply chain

• Four and a half months into standalone operations, demand for products and technologies remained strong; supplier capacity was the main constraint on factory output.

• More than 3,000 suppliers support the portfolio; roughly 70 are critical or constrained, including 10 that are severely capacity constrained across bearings, complex machining, castings and forgings.

• Executives directly oversee the 70 constrained suppliers; actions include supplier capital investment, insourcing, dual sourcing and added tooling, with progress tracked through frequent operational KPIs.

• A second bearing source is online and expected to clear its past-due deliveries by end-Q1; a third source is planned for 2027, with capacity, tooling and machining investments underway.

• The 2030 financial framework was reaffirmed, including 6%-8% CAGR for 2026-30; management said reducing past due through supply-chain recovery could accelerate results beyond the framework.

Demand and market trends

• Lifetime-value wins totaled $90B over the prior four years, with another $20B year-to-date, including $5B in Q3; Q3 book-to-bill was 1.1x overall and 1.3x in defense.

• Q3 commercial air transport orders rose 12% QoQ while output grew 2% YoY against a difficult prior-year comparison; commercial aftermarket growth was double-digit on a two-year stack.

• Defense orders rose 18%; international defense represented 30% of the defense business, and management described direct commercial sales to NATO allies and other customers as embedded in established platforms.

• Business aviation flight hours were expected to grow 5% this year overall and 8% in Honeywell’s mid-size-and-above segment; fractional aircraft fly three times the hours of traditional corporate aircraft.

• Fractional aviation demand is projected to drive 40% growth over the next decade, versus 29% for the rest of business aviation; each business-aviation flight hour generates 10x the revenue of an air-transport flight hour.

• Backlog was $19B, up high single digits YoY; it and past-due aftermarket demand were described as buffers against some moderation in commercial air-transport flight hours, while business-aviation flight hours continued to grow.

Capacity investment and product wins

• A $500M Tempe investment will add 300,000 sq. ft. in a greenfield factory planned as a future expansion model, using robotics, AI and digital twins; the facility is expected online at end-2028.

• Assure electromechanical actuation and Attune vapor-cycle cooling secured about $15B in lifetime-value wins; Tempe expansion will support their growth and add insourced machining capacity.

• CAES electronic warfare and Civitanavi navigation products each grew double digits; Civitanavi’s 2027 order book was fully covered by orders from existing customers.
