HARTFORD, Conn., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX) reported second quarter earnings per share of $1.84 and net income attributable to common shareowners of $1.7 billion, both up 8 percent over the year ago quarter.  Restructuring costs were offset by other net favorable one-time items, which include the Canadian Maritime Helicopter Program (CMHP) charge in the current quarter.  Earnings per share in the year ago quarter included $0.05 of favorable one-time items net of restructuring costs.  Excluding these items in both quarters, earnings per share increased 12 percent year over year. 

Sales of $17.2 billion increased 7 percent, reflecting the benefit of organic growth (3 points) and a cumulative adjustment for the CMHP (5 points) partially offset by net divestitures (1 point).  Second quarter segment operating profit decreased 15 percent over the prior year quarter, including the CMHP adjustment.  Excluding restructuring costs and net one-time items, segment operating profit grew 8 percent with 90 basis points of operating margin expansion.  

"Our focus on growth opportunities and execution in our core markets resulted in another solid quarter," said Louis Chenevert, UTC Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.  "We saw a fourth consecutive quarter of organic sales growth, along with strong margin expansion."

Otis new equipment orders increased 3 percent over the year ago second quarter at constant currency, led by 44 percent growth in North America.  Equipment orders at UTC Climate, Controls & Security increased 2 percent organically.  Large commercial engine spares orders were down 6 percent at Pratt & Whitney and commercial spares orders increased 28 percent at UTC Aerospace Systems.  

"With earnings up 11 percent, excluding the impact of restructuring and one-time items, UTC delivered a strong first half of the year," said Chenevert. "Our solid backlogs, organic growth trends, and focus on execution give us confidence to increase the lower end of our earnings per share range.  We now expect earnings per share of $6.75 to $6.85, up from $6.65 to $6.85 previously."

Cash flow from operations was $1.7 billion and capital expenditures were $406 million in the quarter.  Share repurchase was $335 million.  As a result of increased working capital investment to support the aerospace upcycle, the company now anticipates 2014 cash flow from operations less capital expenditures to range from 90 to 100 percent of net income attributable to common shareowners.  In addition, UTC now expects share repurchase of $1.25 billion and acquisitions of less than $1 billion for the year, from the previous expectation of $1 billion each.

Details of the non-recurring items for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 above are as follows:

Quarter Ended June 30, 2014

Pratt & Whitney:

  • Approximately $22 million charge for impairment of assets related to a joint venture.

Eliminations & Other:  Approximately $220 million gain on an agreement with a state taxing authority for the monetization of tax credits.

Quarter Ended June 30, 2013

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 sales 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.

(3)

Free cash flow, which represents cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, is the principal cash performance measure used by UTC. Management believes free cash flow provides a relevant measure of liquidity and a useful basis for assessing UTC's ability to fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of UTC's common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders.  Other companies 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 shown above.
