"Today is a defining moment in Honeywell's legacy," said Vimal Kapur, Chairman and CEO of Honeywell Technologies. "With the completion of this separation, we have successfully transformed Honeywell into three independent, industry-leading companies: Honeywell Technologies, Honeywell Aerospace and Solstice Advanced Materials. Each company is built around a distinct strategy with greater focus and financial flexibility to pursue a long-term growth agenda."
Kapur added, "This milestone is the culmination of years of disciplined execution and marks the conclusion of the portfolio transformation we began in 2023. As standalone companies, Honeywell Technologies and Honeywell Aerospace are uniquely positioned to accelerate innovation, invest with greater precision and capitalize on the value creation opportunities in our respective industries. We are confident each company is strongly positioned to create enduring value for decades to come."
Honeywell Technologies is now uniquely positioned to lead the industrial sector's transition from automation to autonomy with a portfolio that spans the building, process and industrial sectors. By pairing its deep domain expertise with decades of data from its vast global installed base, Honeywell Technologies is delivering mission-critical outcomes for customers through services, solutions and products that enable safety, productivity, efficiency and uptime.

Reverse Stock Split
Honeywell Technologies also announced today that it has completed the previously announced reverse stock split of Honeywell Technologies common stock at a ratio of 1-for-2 and a proportionate reduction in the number of authorized shares of Honeywell Technologies common stock.
Honeywell Technologies common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis effective at the market opening today and will continue trading on Nasdaq under the symbol "HON", with a new CUSIP number (438516205).
As a result of the reverse stock split, every two shares of Honeywell Technologies common stock issued and outstanding or held by Honeywell Technologies as treasury shares were automatically combined into one share of Honeywell Technologies common stock. This reduced the number of issued and outstanding shares of Honeywell Technologies common stock from approximately 634 million as of March 31, 2026 to approximately 317 million. Concurrently with the reverse stock split, the number of shares of Honeywell Technologies common stock authorized for issuance was also reduced from 2 billion to 1 billion. The par value of Honeywell Technologies common stock did not change. Outstanding Honeywell Technologies equity-based awards and shares or share units under Honeywell Technologies' benefit plans were proportionately adjusted.
No fractional shares were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. As soon as practicable after the effective time of the reverse stock split, Honeywell Technologies' transfer agent will aggregate such fractional shares into whole shares and sell the whole shares at the then-prevailing trading prices in the open market on behalf of those shareowners who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share, and after Honeywell Technologies' transfer agent's completion of such sale, such shareowners will receive a cash payment (without interest or deduction) from Honeywell Technologies' transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds of that sale and, where shares are held in certificated form, upon the surrender of such shareowners' stock certificates.
Supplemental Quarterly Information for Honeywell Technologies
In connection with the spin-off, Honeywell Technologies will file a Current Report on Form 8-K later this morning presenting the former Aerospace Technologies (now Honeywell Aerospace) business as discontinued operations, along with the former Advanced Materials (now Solstice Advanced Materials) business which was previously presented as discontinued operations effective Q4 2025. The information in the filing will contain recast historical financial information for Honeywell Technologies and its segments on a quarterly basis for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, and Q1 2026, and will include reported and organic sales percentage change, operating income and segment profit, and Earnings per share of common stock– diluted and Adjusted earnings per share of common stock– diluted.
