JOHNSON CONTROLS REPORTS RECORD FIRST-QUARTER SALES AND INCOME FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS; CONFIRMS FULL-YEAR 2007 OUTLOOK FOR RECORD RESULTS
MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN, January 19, 2007 ______ Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI) today reported record sales and income from continuing operations for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The company also confirmed its full-year outlook for double-digit earnings growth.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Barth said, “I am pleased with our performance in the first quarter, which was in-line with our expectations. Our building efficiency and power solutions businesses continue to deliver record results. The full-year outlook calls for Johnson Controls to outperform in its markets, making 2007 another year of record sales and earnings.”
First-Quarter 2007 Results
Sales for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 rose 9% to a record $8.2 billion from $7.5 billion last year, reflecting growth by the building efficiency and power solutions businesses as well as the full-quarter revenues from the December 2005 acquisition of York International.
Income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests was $231 million, 6% higher than the prior year’s $218 million. The increase reflects higher volume and margin expansion from building efficiency and power solutions, partially offset by lower North America automotive experience results and higher financing charges.
The company’s effective tax rate increased to 23.0% from 17.2% in the 2006 quarter. The prior year’s quarterly rate included a $16 million ($0.08/share) non-recurring tax benefit.

Income from continuing operations totaled $168 million, slightly higher than last year despite to the higher tax rate. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.85 versus $0.86 last year reflecting a higher number of outstanding shares. Excluding the 2006 tax benefit, earnings per share increased 9%.
Building efficiency sales increased 62% to $2.9 billion from $1.8 billion due to higher systems and services revenues in North America, Europe and other regions, substantially higher workplace solutions revenues and the impact of the York acquisition. Income increased 200% to $123 million from $41 million in 2006, due to the higher revenues as well as improved profitability. Income in the 2006 quarter was negatively impacted by non-recurring costs associated with the acquisition of York. The backlog of uncompleted contracts at December 31, 2006 was $3.9 billion, up 22% from $3.2 billion in the previous year, due to higher systems and services demand worldwide.
Power solutions sales were up 10% to $1.1 billion from $975 million due to increased unit shipments of premium products and improved pricing, especially in Europe and Latin America. Income increased 27% to $142 million from $112 million, due to higher sales and operational efficiencies which more than offset the negative impact of higher lead costs.
Automotive experience sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 totaled $4.2 billion, down 11% from $4.7 billion in the 2006 period, due primarily to a 20% decline in North American revenues. Industry light vehicle production in North America was approximately 8% lower than the prior year amount, with light truck production 14% lower. Revenues in Europe and Asia declined approximately in line with vehicle production levels. Income decreased to $35 million versus $112 million in the prior year. In Europe and Asia, income was significantly higher than the prior year due to improved margins resulting from operational efficiencies and the benefits of cost-reduction programs. As expected, the North America business recorded a loss in the quarter. The loss primarily reflects the impact of the domestic production environment.
2007 Full Year and Second-Quarter Outlook
The 2007 earnings outlook provided by the company on October 9, 2006 remains unchanged. The company forecasts revenues increasing 6% to about $34 billion with diluted earnings per share from continuing operations increasing 14% to approximately $6.00.

For the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the company forecasts diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of approximately $1.05, a 27% increase compared with $0.83 last year. Johnson Controls said it expects double-digit earnings increases in its building efficiency and power solutions businesses. The North American automotive experience business is expected to return to profitability due to a more stable production environment.
“As a multi-industry company with diverse businesses, we have the ability to withstand short-term downturns in any single business or region. We continue to invest in all of our businesses around the world to help ensure the future growth and success of Johnson Controls,” Mr. Barth said. “Our employees throughout the company continue to do an outstanding job of delivering quality and value to our customers. Their commitment enables us to successfully execute our strategies and continue our track record for profitable growth.”

Beginning in fiscal year 2007, Company management, including the chief operating decision maker, adjusted their measurement of business unit performance, changing from operating income to segment income, which represents income from continuing operations before income taxes and minority interests excluding net financing charges. The primary reason for the modification was to reflect equity income in earnings for each business operation given its growing significance to the Company’s global business strategies.
2. Acquisitions
In December 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of York International Corporation (York). The Company paid $56.50 for each outstanding share of common stock. The total cost of the acquisition, excluding cash acquired, was approximately $3.1 billion, including approximately $563 million of debt.
3. Discontinued Operations
In December 2005, the Company acquired the Bristol Compressor business as part of the York transaction and has engaged a firm to actively market the business. The Bristol Compressors business included Scroll Technologies, Inc., an unconsolidated joint venture that was divested in September 2006. The Company continues to explore strategic alternatives for the remainder of the Bristol Compressor business.
The Bristol Compressor business is reported as a discontinued operation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and is included in other current assets and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
