______________________________________________________________________________

CORK, Ireland — Dec. 12, 2023 -- Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI), a global leader for smart, healthy and sustainable buildings, today reported fiscal fourth quarter 2023 GAAP earnings per share (“EPS”) from continuing operations of $0.80. Excluding special items, adjusted EPS from continuing operations was $1.05, up 6% versus the prior year period (see attached footnotes for non-GAAP reconciliation).

Sales in the quarter of $6.9 billion increased 3% compared to the prior year on an as reported basis and grew 2% organically. GAAP net income from continuing operations was $549 million. Adjusted net income from continuing operations of $719 million was up 5% versus the prior year. Earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) was $587 million and EBIT margin was 8.5%. Adjusted EBIT was $936 million and adjusted EBIT margin was 13.6%, flat versus the prior year.

“Our fiscal 2023 results, highlighted by strong sales growth and margin expansion, further validate that our strategy of providing solutions that make buildings smarter, healthier, and more sustainable continues to gain momentum,” said Chairman and CEO George Oliver. “We made significant progress during the year in advancing our service strategy, enabled by digital, and we continue to see strong order momentum and record backlog entering our new fiscal year.”

“Our resilient backlog continues to grow as we saw strong order growth in both our Install and Service businesses throughout the fiscal year,” said Chief Financial Officer Olivier Leonetti. “Our value proposition continues to resonate with our customers globally and we have plenty of runway for ongoing top line growth, margin expansion, and improving cash flow going forward.”

Income and EPS amounts attributable to Johnson Controls ordinary shareholders

($ millions, except per-share amounts)

The financial highlights presented in the tables below are in accordance with GAAP, unless otherwise indicated. All comparisons are to the fiscal fourth quarter of 2022.

Organic sales growth, total segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA, adjusted corporate expense, EBIT, adjusted EBIT, adjusted net income from continuing operations, adjusted EPS from continuing operations, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, excluding JC Capital, and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures and detail of the special items, refer to the attached footnotes.

This press release includes forward-looking statements regarding organic revenue growth, adjusted segment EBITA margin improvement and adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts excluded is 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 and the high variability of certain amounts, such as mark-to-market adjustments. Organic revenue growth 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 the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's fiscal 2024 first quarter and full year GAAP financial results.

A slide presentation to accompany the results can be found in the Investor Relations section of Johnson Controls’ website at http://investors.johnsoncontrols.com.

(1) The Company's press release contains financial information regarding total segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company's definition of adjusted segment EBITA excludes other non-recurring items that are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its businesses. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

A reconciliation of segment EBITA to net income is shown earlier within this footnote. The following is the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 reconciliation of segment EBITA and segment EBITA margin as reported to adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margin (unaudited):

The three and twelve months ended September 30, 2022 exclude the net mark-to-market gains on restricted asbestos investments and pension and postretirement plans of $192 million and $34 million, respectively.

(5) Adjusted results for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2023 exclude restructuring and impairment costs of $220 million and $1,064 million, respectively. The restructuring actions and impairment costs for the three months ended September 30, 2023 are related primarily to workforce reductions and other asset impairments. The restructuring actions and impairment costs for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 are related primarily to workforce reductions, impairment of goodwill attributable to the Company's Silent-Aire reporting unit, impairment of assets associated with businesses previously classified as held for sale and other asset impairments. Adjusted results for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2022 exclude restructuring and impairment costs of $167 million and $721 million, respectively.

The restructuring actions and impairment costs for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 are related primarily to the impairment of assets associated with businesses classified as held for sale, workforce reductions, impairment of goodwill attributable to the Company's Silent-Aire reporting unit and other asset impairments.

(6) Management defines earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) as income before net financing charges, income taxes and noncontrolling interests. EBIT margin is defined as EBIT divided by net sales. EBIT and EBIT margin are non-GAAP performance measures. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company. A reconciliation of EBIT to net income is shown earlier within this footnote.

7) Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2023 excludes net tax benefits related to valuation allowance adjustments of $121 million and the tax effect of other pre-tax adjusting items of $54 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the twelve months ended September 30, 2023 excludes net tax benefits related to adjustments to reserves for uncertain tax positions of $438 million, the net tax effect of other pre-tax adjusting items of $169 million and valuation allowance adjustments of $121 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the three months ended September 30, 2022 excludes tax benefits related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain tax years of $301 million and the net tax effect of other pre-tax adjusting items of $45 million, partially offset by tax provisions related to a Japan valuation allowance establishment of $27 million. Adjusted income tax provision for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 excludes tax benefits related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain tax years of $301 million and the net tax effect of other pre-tax adjusting items of $119 million, partially offset by tax provisions related to a Japan valuation allowance establishment of $27 million and APB23 adjustments attributable to businesses classified as held for sale of $21 million.

(8) Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2023 excludes $4 million impact from restructuring and impairment costs. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests for the three months ended September 30, 2022 excludes $11 million impact from a Japan valuation allowance establishment. Adjusted income from continuing operations attributable to noncontrolling interests for the twelve months ended September 30, 2022 excludes $11 million impact from a Japan valuation allowance establishment and $5 million impact from restructuring and impairment costs.

(9) Segment EBITA margin is defined as segment EBITA divided by segment net sales, as disclosed in the Company's press release.

The Company's press release and earnings presentation include forward-looking statements regarding organic revenue growth, adjusted segment EBITA margin improvement, free cash flow and adjusted EPS, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts excluded is 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 and the high variability of certain amounts, such as mark-to-market adjustments. Organic revenue growth 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 the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2024 first quarter and full year GAAP financial results.

  1. 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 shown in the table below are excluded because these items are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

  1. Free Cash Flow Conversion

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow conversion, which are non-GAAP performance measures. We also present below free cash flow conversion from the GAAP measure of net income attributable to JCI. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company has excluded the impact of its financing entity, JC Capital, from the calculation of free cash flow. Management believes this provides a more true representation of the Company’s operational ability to convert cash, without the contrary impact from financing activities. The impact on interim and annual periods prior to January 1, 2023 was not material. JC Capital cash flows that are excluded from the calculation of free cash flow primarily include activity associated with finance/notes receivables and inventory and/or capital expenditures related to lease arrangements. JC Capital net income that is excluded is primarily related to interest income on the finance/notes receivable and profit recognized on arrangements with sales-type lease components.

Free cash flow is defined as cash provided (used) by operating activities, excluding JC Capital, less capital expenditures, excluding JC Capital. Free cash flow conversion from net income is defined as free cash flow divided by net income attributable to JCI. Free cash flow conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by adjusted net income attributable to JCI, excluding JC Capital. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. These non-GAAP measures can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity.

The following is the three and twelve months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 calculation of free cash flow (unaudited):
