Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
SEGMENT INFORMATION | SEGMENT INFORMATION ASC 280, "Segment Reporting," establishes the standards for reporting information about segments in financial statements. In applying the criteria set forth in ASC 280, the Company has determined that it has five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes. The Company’s five reportable segments are presented in the context of its two primary businesses - Building Technologies & Solutions and Power Solutions. Effective July 1, 2017, the Company reorganized the reportable segments within its Building Technologies & Solutions business to align with its new management reporting structure and business activities. Prior to this reorganization, Building Technologies & Solutions was comprised of five reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Systems and Service North America, Products North America, Asia, Rest of World and Tyco. As a result of this change, Building Technologies & Solutions is now comprised of four reportable segments for financial reporting purposes: Building Solutions North America, Building Solutions EMEA/LA, Building Solutions Asia Pacific and Global Products. Historical information has been revised to reflect the new Building Technologies & Solutions reportable segments. A summary of the significant Building Technologies & Solutions reportable segment changes is as follows:
• | The “Systems and Service North America” segment is now part of the new “Building Solutions North America” reportable segment.
• | The North America Unitary Products business, Air Distribution Technologies business and refrigeration systems business, as well as HVAC products installed for Marine customers, previously included in the “Products North America” segment, are now part of the new reportable segment “Global Products.” The systems and products installation business for U.S. Navy customers, previously included in the “Products North America” segment, is now part of the new “Building Solutions North America” reportable segment.
• | The systems and service business within the former “Asia” segment is now part of the new “Building Solutions Asia Pacific” reportable segment. The HVAC products manufacturing business and the Johnson Controls-Hitachi joint venture, previously part of the “Asia” segment, are now part of the new “Global Products” reportable segment.
• | The systems and service businesses in Europe, the Middle East and Latin America within the former “Rest of World” segment are now part of the new “Building Solutions EMEA/LA” reportable segment. The HVAC products manufacturing businesses, previously part of the “Rest of World” segment, are now part of the new “Global Products” reportable segment.
• | As the Company has integrated the legacy Tyco business with its legacy Building Efficiency business for segment reporting purposes, Tyco is no longer a separate reportable segment. The Tyco businesses are now included throughout the new reportable segments.

Power Solutions Power Solutions services both automotive original equipment manufacturers and the battery aftermarket by providing advanced battery technology, coupled with systems engineering, marketing and service expertise. Management evaluates the performance of its business segments 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, significant restructuring and impairment costs, and the net mark-to-market adjustments related to pension and postretirement plans. Financial information relating to the Company’s reportable segments is as follows (in millions):
