**Honeywell Reports Annual Financial Performance with Enhanced Earnings Amid Strategic Investments** Honeywell International Inc. has unveiled its financial results for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, demonstrating robust growth despite challenges in some segments. The company reported net sales of $38.5 billion, marking a 5% increase over the prior year. This growth was mainly fueled by increased sales volumes, strategic pricing adjustments, and significant contributions from recent acquisitions. However, the Industrial Automation segment experienced a 7% decline in sales. The company's net income attributable to Honeywell reached $5.7 billion, translating to earnings per share (EPS) of $8.71, an improvement from the previous year's EPS of $8.47. The enhanced earnings were supported by a gross margin increase to 38.1%, up from 37.3% in the previous year. On the investment front, Honeywell's cash flow statement reveals substantial activity, with cash paid for acquisitions totaling $8.88 billion. This significant outlay was a primary driver for the net cash outflow from investing activities, which amounted to $10.157 billion for the year. This strategic investment underscores Honeywell's commitment to enhancing its growth trajectory through acquisitions and partnerships. Overall, Honeywell's financial performance highlights a strong year marked by strategic investments and improved profitability, despite sector-specific challenges. The company's focus on growth through acquisitions and efficiency improvements appears to be yielding positive results.

Spanish News:
Honeywell ha anunciado su decisión de dividirse en tres compañías cotizadas de manera independiente, lo que incluirá la separación de sus negocios de automatización, tecnología aeroespacial y materiales avanzados. Este movimiento responde a una estrategia de crecimiento diferenciada para cada área y se espera que la escisión de Honeywell Automation y Honeywell Aerospace se complete de manera libre de impuestos para los accionistas en la segunda mitad de 2026. La separación del negocio de materiales avanzados está prevista para finales de 2025 o principios de 2026. Estrategia de crecimiento y perspectivas: Honeywell ha confirmado que las tres empresas independientes estarán adecuadamente capitalizadas y contarán con la flexibilidad financiera para aprovechar futuras oportunidades de crecimiento. La compañía aseguró que las empresas segregadas mantendrán una escala global y destacaron que Honeywell Automation alcanzó ingresos de 18.000 millones de dólares en 2024, mientras que Honeywell Aerospace facturó 15.000 millones de dólares. La división de materiales avanzados registró una cifra de negocio de casi 4.000 millones de dólares. La decisión de dividir la empresa llega tras la presión del inversor activista Elliott Investment Management, que en noviembre reveló una posición de más de 5.000 millones de dólares en Honeywell y pidió una escisión debido al bajo rendimiento de las acciones, en parte debido a la estructura de conglomerado de la empresa. Resultados anuales de 2024: En 2024, Honeywell reportó un beneficio neto atribuido de 5.705 millones de dólares, un aumento del 0,8% en comparación con el año anterior. Las ventas netas alcanzaron los 38.498 millones de dólares, lo que representa un crecimiento del 5%, impulsado por un avance del 2% en la comercialización de productos y un aumento del 12,2% en la venta de servicios. En el cuarto trimestre de 2024, Honeywell registró un beneficio neto atribuido de 1.285 millones de dólares, un 1,7% más que en el mismo período de 2023, mientras que las ventas netas alcanzaron los 10.088 millones de dólares, un incremento del 6,9%. Perspectivas para 2025: Honeywell ha actualizado sus expectativas para 2025, proyectando una cifra de negocio neta de entre 39.600 y 40.600 millones de dólares, lo que implica un crecimiento orgánico de entre el 2% y el 5% respecto a 2024. Además, espera un beneficio por acción ajustado de entre 10,10 y 10,50 dólares, lo que representaría una mejora anual de entre el 2% y el 6%. Declaraciones de Vimal Kapur: Vimal Kapur, presidente y CEO de Honeywell, comentó: "Hemos cerrado un año exitoso, superando nuestras previsiones de ventas y ganancias ajustadas por acción del cuarto trimestre, a pesar de un entorno operativo dinámico. Estoy convencido de que nuestra estrategia de optimización de la cartera y nuestra sólida base nos permitirán crear aún más valor para nuestros accionistas, clientes y empleados en 2025".

The company reported net sales of $38.5 billion, marking a 5% increase over the prior year.

On the investment front, Honeywell's cash flow statement reveals substantial activity, with cash paid for acquisitions totaling $8.88 billion. This significant outlay was a primary driver for the net cash outflow from investing activities, which amounted to $10.157 billion for the year.

Spanish News:
Honeywell ha anunciado su decisión de dividirse en tres compañías cotizadas de manera independiente, lo que incluirá la separación de sus negocios de automatización, tecnología aeroespacial y materiales avanzados. Este movimiento responde a una estrategia de crecimiento diferenciada para cada área y se espera que la escisión de Honeywell Automation y Honeywell Aerospace se complete de manera libre de impuestos para los accionistas en la segunda mitad de 2026. La separación del negocio de materiales avanzados está prevista para finales de 2025 o principios de 2026. Estrategia de crecimiento y perspectivas: Honeywell ha confirmado que las tres empresas independientes estarán adecuadamente capitalizadas y contarán con la flexibilidad financiera para aprovechar futuras oportunidades de crecimiento. La compañía aseguró que las empresas segregadas mantendrán una escala global y destacaron que Honeywell Automation alcanzó ingresos de 18.000 millones de dólares en 2024, mientras que Honeywell Aerospace facturó 15.000 millones de dólares. La división de materiales avanzados registró una cifra de negocio de casi 4.000 millones de dólares. La decisión de dividir la empresa llega tras la presión del inversor activista Elliott Investment Management, que en noviembre reveló una posición de más de 5.000 millones de dólares en Honeywell y pidió una escisión debido al bajo rendimiento de las acciones, en parte debido a la estructura de conglomerado de la empresa. Resultados anuales de 2024: En 2024, Honeywell reportó un beneficio neto atribuido de 5.705 millones de dólares, un aumento del 0,8% en comparación con el año anterior. Las ventas netas alcanzaron los 38.498 millones de dólares, lo que representa un crecimiento del 5%, impulsado por un avance del 2% en la comercialización de productos y un aumento del 12,2% en la venta de servicios. En el cuarto trimestre de 2024, Honeywell registró un beneficio neto atribuido de 1.285 millones de dólares, un 1,7% más que en el mismo período de 2023, mientras que las ventas netas alcanzaron los 10.088 millones de dólares, un incremento del 6,9%. Perspectivas para 2025: Honeywell ha actualizado sus expectativas para 2025, proyectando una cifra de negocio neta de entre 39.600 y 40.600 millones de dólares, lo que implica un crecimiento orgánico de entre el 2% y el 5% respecto a 2024. Además, espera un beneficio por acción ajustado de entre 10,10 y 10,50 dólares, lo que representaría una mejora anual de entre el 2% y el 6%. Declaraciones de Vimal Kapur: Vimal Kapur, presidente y CEO de Honeywell, comentó: "Hemos cerrado un año exitoso, superando nuestras previsiones de ventas y ganancias ajustadas por acción del cuarto trimestre, a pesar de un entorno operativo dinámico. Estoy convencido de que nuestra estrategia de optimización de la cartera y nuestra sólida base nos permitirán crear aún más valor para nuestros accionistas, clientes y empleados en 2025".
