Commercial OE sales were up 5% reflecting    continued strong OE build rates, as well as an increase in Business and    General Aviation (BGA) engine shipments.  Commercial Aftermarket sales    increased 2% driven by strong Air Transport and Regional (ATR) spares    growth, partially offset by a decline in RMU (Retrofit, Modifications, and    Upgrades) sales in BGA and lower repair and overhaul activities.  Defense &    Space sales grew 3% as a result of strong international growth and    stabilization in U.S. government sales.  Transportation Systems sales were    down (10%) reported, primarily reflecting the Friction Materials    divestiture, and up 4% organically driven by new platform launches, higher    turbo gas penetration globally, and increased commercial vehicle demand in    Europe, partially offset by moderating EU light vehicle production.  * Segment profit was up 8%, and segment margins expanded 150 bps to 20.3%,    driven by productivity net of inflation, commercial excellence, and the    favorable impact of the Friction Materials divestiture.Automation and Control Solutions  ($ Millions)                   3Q 2013   3Q 2014   % ChangeSales                              3,375     3,671         9%Segment Profit                       523       583        11%Segment Margin                     15.5%     15.9%     40 bps  * Sales were up 9% reported, 4% organically, compared with the third quarter    of 2013, primarily driven by the favorable impact of the Intermec    acquisition and strong organic growth across Energy, Safety, and Security    (ESS), particularly in Scanning & Mobility, Industrial Safety, Security,    and Fire. Building Solutions & Distribution (BSD) saw continued strength in    the Americas Distribution business.  * Segment profit was up 11% and segment margins expanded 40 bps to 15.9%    driven by higher volume, commercial excellence, and productivity net of    inflation, partially offset by the dilutive impact of the Intermec    acquisition.Performance Materials and Technologies  ($ Millions)                    3Q 2013   3Q 2014   % ChangeSales                               2,383     2,542         7%Segment Profit                        413       444         8%Segment Margin                      17.3%     17.5%     20 bps  * Sales were up 7% on both an organic and reported basis compared with the    third quarter of 2013, driven by UOP catalyst and gas processing growth, an    acceleration of sales growth in Process Solutions, and higher sales across    Advanced Materials, particularly Fluorine Products.  * Segment profit was up 8% and segment margins increased 20 bps to 17.5%,    driven by higher volume and productivity net of inflation, partially offset    by price/raws headwinds in Resins & Chemicals and continued investments for    growth.Honeywell will discuss its results during its investor conference call todaystarting at 9:30 a.m. EDT.
