UTC REPORTS FIRST QUARTER EPS INCREASE OF 19 PERCENT ON 13 PERCENT REVENUE
GROWTH; INCREASES 2006 EPS OUTLOOK
HARTFORD, Conn., April 19, 2006 – United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX) today reported first quarter 2006 earnings per share increased 19 percent to $0.76 compared with the year ago first quarter. Consolidated revenues for the quarter increased 13 percent to $10.6 billion, reflecting organic growth of 9 percent and the impact of 2005 acquisitions, primarily Kidde.
“This is a great start to 2006 and supports increasing our full year earnings outlook. We now expect earnings per share in a range of $3.50 to $3.60 for the year, up from the prior range of $3.40 to $3.55. Given the organic growth in the quarter and current backlogs, revenues for the year should be in the range of $46 billion.” said UTC Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George David. “We confirm expectations for cash flow after capital expenditures equal to net income for the year,” he added.
First quarter net income increased 18 percent to $768 million. In the quarter, foreign currency translation reduced earnings by $0.02 per share and revenues by 2 percent.
“Revenues grew organically in the quarter at 9 percent in spite of lower revenues at Sikorsky due to the strike which has now been settled. Cost reductions and productivity continued to fuel margin expansions at Carrier and UTC Fire & Security. Overcoming the adverse impacts of the Sikorsky strike, stronger dollar and R&D calendarization, this is as good a quarter as we have seen in a long time,” David said.
Cash flow from operations was $975 million and, after capital expenditures of $201 million, slightly exceeded net income for the quarter. Share repurchase in the quarter was $375 million, on track with share repurchase guidance of $1.5 billion for the year.
First quarter results include restructuring costs of $31 million offset by an equal gain on the sale of marketable securities. Additional favorable items are anticipated in 2006 which will be used to offset trailing costs from prior restructuring actions as well as to fund potential new actions initiated throughout the year. Total restructuring for 2006 should equal or exceed one time favorable items.
The accompanying tables include information integral to assessing the company’s financial position, operating performance, and cash flow.
