CORK, Ireland, May 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI) today reported fiscal second quarter 2019 GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") from continuing operations, including special items, of $0.26. Excluding these items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $0.32, up 23% versus the prior year period (see attached footnotes for non-GAAP reconciliation).
Sales of $5.8 billion increased 3% compared to the prior year. Excluding the impacts of M&A and foreign currency, sales grew 6% organically.
GAAP earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") was $419 million and EBIT margin was 7.3%. Adjusted EBIT was $469 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 8.1%, up 60 basis points over the prior year. Excluding the impact of M&A and foreign currency, the underlying adjusted EBIT margin increased 70 basis points.
On April 30, 2019, the Company closed the previously announced sale of the Power Solutions business to Brookfield Business Partners for net cash proceeds of approximately $11.6 billion. As previously stated, net cash proceeds are expected to be used to reduce $3.4 billion in existing debt, and fund the repurchase of up to $8.2 billion in ordinary shares.
Separately, in connection with the closing of the transaction, the Company announced today that it plans to launch a "modified Dutch auction" tender offer in the coming days for up to $4.0 billion of its ordinary shares with a price range between $36.00 and $40.00 per share. The Company also announced that it has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase up to $1.5 billion in aggregate principal amount of certain of its outstanding notes. For additional information regarding the debt tender, please refer to the debt tender offer press release issued by the Company concurrently with this release.
"Johnson Controls delivered another strong quarter, demonstrating continued organic top-line momentum and our commitment to operational execution," said George Oliver, chairman and CEO. "Given the strength of our backlog, visibility into our order pipeline, and strategic initiatives to improve profitability, I am confident in our outlook for the second half. Additionally, we closed the Power Solutions transaction ahead of schedule, which enables us to accelerate our efforts to return capital to shareholders."

Adjusted free cash flow was neutral, which excludes net cash outflows of $0.2 billion primarily related to restructuring and integration costs.
- During the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 16 million shares for $533 million. Year-to-date, the Company repurchased approximately 30 million shares for $1 billion.
- The Company is increasing its outlook for fiscal 2019 adjusted EPS before special items from continuing operations to a range of $1.85 to $1.95, representing a year-over-year increase of 16% to 23%.

Johnson Controls International plc Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Johnson Controls International plc has made statements in this communication that are forward-looking and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this communication, statements regarding Johnson Controls' future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, synergies and integration opportunities, capital expenditures and debt levels are forward-looking statements. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "estimate," "anticipate," "believe," "should," "forecast," "project" or "plan" and terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls' control, that could cause Johnson Controls' actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks related to: any delay or inability of Johnson Controls to realize the expected benefits and synergies of recent portfolio transactions such as the merger with Tyco and the spin-off of Adient, changes in tax laws (including but not limited to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), regulations, rates, policies or interpretations, the loss of key senior management, the tax treatment of recent portfolio transactions, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities associated with such transactions, the outcome of actual or potential litigation relating to such transactions, the risk that disruptions from recent transactions will harm Johnson Controls' business, the strength of the U.S. or other economies, changes to laws or policies governing foreign trade, including increased tariffs or trade restrictions, automotive vehicle production levels, mix and schedules, energy and commodity prices, the availability of raw materials and component products, currency rates and cancellation of or changes to commercial arrangements, and with respect to the disposition of the Power Solutions business, whether the strategic benefits of the Power Solutions transaction can be achieved. A detailed discussion of risks related to Johnson Controls' business is included in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in Johnson Controls' Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2018 fiscal year filed with the SEC on November 20, 2018, which is available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the "Investors" tab. Shareholders, potential investors and others should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include net mark-to-market adjustments, transaction/integration costs, restructuring and impairment costs, Scott Safety gain on sale, the impact of ceasing the depreciation/amortization expense for the Power Solutions business as the business is held for sale and discrete tax items. Financial information regarding organic sales, adjusted segment EBITA, adjusted organic segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA margin, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are also presented, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items such as transaction/integration costs and Scott Safety gain on sale because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units. Management believes that, when considered together with unadjusted amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and business trends of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure.

1. Financial Summary | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company evaluates the performance of its business units primarily on segment earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (EBITA), which represents income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests, excluding general corporate expenses, intangible asset amortization, net financing charges, restructuring and impairment costs, and the net mark-to-market adjustments related to restricted asbestos investments and pension and postretirement plans.

(1) The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures.

(3) On October 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-01, "Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities." ASU No. 2016-01 amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including marketable securities. The new standard requires the mark-to-market of marketable securities investments previously recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income on the statement of financial position be recorded in the statement of income on a prospective basis beginning as of the adoption date. The three months ended March 31, 2019 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments of $20 million. The six months ended March 31. 2018 exclude the net mark-to-market adjustments on restricted investments of $1 million. As these restricted investments do not relate to the underlying operating performance of its businesses, the Company's definition of adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted EBIT excludes the mark-to-market adjustments effective October 1, 2018. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) Restructuring and impairment costs for the six months ended March 31, 2018 of $154 million are excluded from the adjusted non-GAAP results. The restructuring actions and impairment costs related primarily to workforce reductions, plant closures and asset impairments in the Building Technologies & Solutions business and at Corporate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) Management defines earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as income from continuing operations before net financing charges, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2019 excludes the tax benefits of integration costs of $7 million and transaction costs of $1 million, partially offset by the tax provision for net mark-to-market adjustments of $5 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2019 excludes the tax provision for valuation allowance adjustments of $76 million as a result of changes in U.S. tax law, partially offset by the tax benefits for integration costs of $13 million and transactions costs of $1 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2018 excludes the tax benefit for integration costs of $9 million, partially offset by the impact of the third quarter fiscal 2018 effective tax rate change of $7 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the six months ended March 31, 2018 excludes the net tax provision related to the U.S. Tax Reform legislation of $204 million, Scott Safety gain on sale of $30 million and the impact of the third quarter fiscal 2018 effective tax rate change of $13 million, partially offset by tax audit settlements of $25 million, restructuring and impairment costs of $23 million, integration costs of $15 million and transaction costs of $1 million. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2. Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include transaction/integration costs, gain on sale of the Scott Safety business, net mark-to-market adjustments, restructuring and impairment costs, impact of ceasing the depreciation / amortization expense for the Power Solutions business as the business is held for sale, and discrete tax items.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding adjusted EPS from continuing operations, organic net sales growth, organic adjusted EBITA growth, organic adjusted EBIT growth, adjusted segment EBITA margin, adjusted EBIT margin and adjusted free cash flow conversion for the full fiscal year of 2019, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses, income or cash flows from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period, including but not limited to the high variability of the net mark-to-market adjustments and the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Our fiscal 2019 outlook for organic net sales and adjusted EBITA and EBIT growth also excludes the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's full year 2019 GAAP financial results. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

4. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Company's press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes special items, as included in the table below, because these cash flows are not considered to be directly related to its underlying businesses. Adjusted free cash flow conversion is defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

5. Net Debt to Capitalization | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
