The following forward-looking statements 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. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its 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 2026 fourth quarter and full year GAAP financial results.

The Company initiated fiscal 2026 fourth quarter continuing operations guidance:

Organic sales growth of 9% to 10% Operating leverage of 45% to 50% Adjusted EPS of ~$1.55 The Company's fiscal 2026 full year continuing operations guidance is as follows:

Organic sales growth of ~8% (previously up ~6%) Operating leverage of 45% to 50% (previously ~50%) Adjusted EPS of ~$5.05 (previously ~$4.85) Adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~100% (unchanged) CONFERENCE CALL & WEBCAST INFO

Johnson Controls will host a conference call to discuss this quarter's results at 8:30 a.m. ET today, which can be accessed via webcast at https://johnson-controls-q3-2026-earnings.open-exchange.net. A slide presentation will accompany the prepared remarks and has been posted on the investor relations section of the Johnson Controls website at https://investors.johnsoncontrols.com/news-and-events/events-and-presentations. A replay will be made available approximately two hours following the conclusion of the conference call.

FOOTNOTES

1.   Sale of Residential and Light Commercial HVAC Business

In July 2025, the Company sold its Residential and Light Commercial ("R&LC") HVAC business, including the North America Ducted business and the global Residential joint venture with Hitachi Global Life Solutions, Inc. ("Hitachi"), of which Johnson Controls owned 60% and Hitachi owned 40%. The R&LC HVAC business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, its historical financial results are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.

2.   Non-GAAP Measures

The Company reports various non-GAAP measures in this earnings release and the related earnings presentation.  Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measures. Refer to the following footnotes for further information on the calculations of the non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Organic sales

Organic sales growth excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. Management believes organic sales growth is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period sales results and trends.

Cash flow

Management believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow 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 the Company's ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on its liquidity. Management also believes adjusted free cash flows are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period cash flows, cash trends and ongoing cash flows of the Company.

Adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP measures which exclude the impacts of the following:

JC Capital cash flows primarily include activity associated with finance/notes receivables and inventory and/or capital expenditures related to lease arrangements. JC Capital net income is primarily related to interest income on the finance/notes receivable and profit recognized on arrangements with sales-type lease components. The impact of the accounts receivables factoring program which was discontinued in March 2024. Cash payments related to the water systems AFFF settlement and cash receipts for AFFF-related insurance recoveries. Prepayment of royalty fees associated with certain IP licensed to divested businesses. Discrete tax payments are non-recurring tax settlements for certain non-US jurisdictions. Adjusted financial measures

Adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP measures that are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the excluded amounts is a matter of management judgment and depends upon the nature and variability of the underlying expense or income amounts and other factors.

As detailed in the tables included in footnotes four through seven, the following items were excluded from certain financial measures:

Net mark-to-market adjustments are the result of adjusting restricted asbestos investments and pension and postretirement plan assets to their current market value. These adjustments may have a favorable or unfavorable impact on results.  Restructuring and impairment costs represents restructuring costs attributable to Johnson Controls including costs associated with exit plans or other restructuring plans that will have a more significant impact on the underlying cost structure of the organization. Impairment costs primarily relate to write-downs of goodwill, intangible assets and assets held for sale to their fair value. Water systems AFFF settlement and insurance recoveries include amounts related to a settlement with a nationwide class of public water systems concerning the use of AFFF manufactured and sold by a subsidiary of the Company, and AFFF-related insurance recoveries. Transaction/separation costs include costs associated with significant mergers and acquisitions. Transformation costs represent incremental expenses incurred in association with strategic growth initiatives and cost saving opportunities in order to realize the benefits of portfolio simplification and the Company's lifecycle solutions strategy. ERP asset - accelerated depreciation represents a change in ERP strategy within the EMEA segment, which led to certain assets being abandoned and the useful lives reduced. Loss (gain) on divestiture relates to the sale of the ADT Mexico Security and ADTi businesses. EMEA joint venture loss relates to certain non-recurring losses associated with the equity method accounting of a joint venture company. Discrete tax items, net includes the net impact of discrete tax items within the period, including the following types of items: changes in estimates associated with valuation allowances, changes in estimates associated with reserves for uncertain tax positions, withholding taxes recorded upon changes in indefinite re-investment assertions for businesses to be disposed of and impacts from statutory rate changes. Related tax impact includes the tax impact of the various excluded items. Management believes the exclusion of these items is useful to investors due to the unusual nature and/or magnitude of the amounts. When considered together with unadjusted amounts, adjusted financial measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results, business trends and ongoing operations of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes.

Operating leverage

Operating leverage is defined as the ratio of the change in adjusted EBIT for the period, divided by the corresponding change in net revenues. Management believes operating leverage is a useful metric to reflect enterprise value creation, capturing the impact of scale and cost discipline across the organization.

Debt ratios

Management believes that net debt to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful to understanding the Company's financial condition as the ratio provides an overview of the extent to which the Company relies on external debt financing for its funding and also is a measure of risk to its shareholders.

Key Takeaways Johnson Controls is expected to post higher fiscal Q3 revenues of $6.43 billion and EPS of $1.32 on July 29.JCI may benefit from HVAC demand in data centers, services strength and growth from the OpenBlue platform.Johnson Controls faces margin pressure from higher SG&A costs and foreign currency headwinds. Johnson Controls International plc (JCI - Free Report) is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2026 (ended June 2026) financial numbers on July 29, before market open.

The company’s earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters. The average surprise was 5.6%. In the last reported quarter, its earnings of $1.19 per share beat the consensus estimate of $1.12 by 6.3%.

The consensus estimate for revenues is pegged at $6.43 billion, indicating an increase of 6.2% from the year-ago quarter’s figure. The consensus estimate for adjusted earnings is pinned at $1.32 per share, indicating an increase of 25.7% from the year-ago quarter’s figure.

Key Factors and Estimates to Note Ahead of JCI’s Earnings ReleaseThe Americas segment is expected to have benefited from solid demand for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) platforms in data centers and strength in services businesses in the fiscal third quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $4.34 billion, indicating a 7.4% increase from the year-ago figure.

The Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) segment is expected to have benefited from strength in products and systems businesses. However, disruptions caused by the Middle East conflicts and lower non-recurring services volumes are likely to mar the segment’s results. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $1.25 billion, indicating a 1.6% decrease from the year-ago figure.

Solid momentum in the applied HVAC business, driven by data center application growth, is expected to have driven the performance of the Asia Pacific segment. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the segment’s revenues is pegged at $777 million, indicating a 5.4% increase from the year-ago figure.

Investments in digital offerings, like the OpenBlue platform that plays an integral part in meeting customer needs, are expected to have driven the company’s revenues.

However, the escalating selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses pose a threat to Johnson Controls’ bottom line. High organizational realignment and transaction/separation costs are expected to have pushed up the SG&A expenses, which are likely to have impacted its margins in the fiscal third quarter.

JCI has considerable exposure to overseas markets. Given the company’s substantial international operations, foreign currency headwinds are likely to have marred its profitability.
