Divestitures and Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale
Quantinuum
On June 4, 2026, the Company’s former consolidated subsidiary Quantinuum completed its initial public offering (IPO). Prior to the IPO, the Company consolidated Quantinuum under the Variable Interest Entity consolidation model as it had both the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity. Upon completion of the IPO, the Company retained a 48% noncontrolling ownership interest in Quantinuum and accounts for its Quantinuum investment as an equity method investment. No cash contributions were made or cash distributions received by the Company as part of the IPO.
The Company recognized a gain of $6,629 million during the second quarter of 2026 as a result of the deconsolidation of Quantinuum. The gain was calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate fair value of the retained interests in the former subsidiaries and (ii) the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiaries, less the carrying value of the non-controlling interest in the former subsidiaries.
The initial fair value of the retained investment of $7,525 million at the date of deconsolidation was determined using a market approach based on the observable quoted market price of Quantinuum’s common stock. At the date of deconsolidation, the carrying value of Quantinuum’s net assets was $1,599 million and the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest was $703 million.
Differences between the carrying amount of the retained equity method investment and the Company’s proportionate share of Quantinuum’s net assets were attributed to identifiable assets and liabilities utilizing purchase accounting principles, with the residual amount recorded as equity method goodwill. The Company identified basis differences related to intangible assets of $1.1 billion and equity method goodwill of $6.1 billion. Basis differences related to intangible assets will be amortized over their estimated useful lives and are recorded within Equity loss in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The weighted-average life of the Quantinuum intangible assets is 8 years and will be amortized using a straight-line method. Basis differences related to equity method goodwill will not be amortized.

Productivity Solutions and Services and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions Businesses
As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded the assets and liabilities of each of the Productivity Solutions and Services (PSS) and Warehouse and Workflow Solutions (WWS) businesses, which were a part of the Productivity goodwill reporting unit within the Industrial Automation reportable business segment, met the held for sale criteria, and the Company presented the associated assets and liabilities of each business as held for sale beginning December 31, 2025. On July 27, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its WWS business in exchange for total consideration of $157 million, net of cash transferred. On August 3, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its PSS business for total consideration of $1,370 million, net of cash transferred.
During the third quarter, the Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of the businesses of $339 million, primarily attributed to a gain on the sale of the PSS business, which was recorded in Other (income) expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized a $311 million increase to the valuation allowance to write down the WWS disposal group to fair value, less costs to sell.

Spin-offs and Discontinued Operations
Our former Aerospace Technologies and Advanced Materials businesses are included in discontinued operations. Results of operations, financial position, and cash flows are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and the notes to the consolidated financial statements have been adjusted on a retrospective basis.
Aerospace Technologies Business
In the third quarter on June 29, 2026 (the Distribution Date), the Company completed the Aerospace Spin-Off through a pro rata distribution of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Honeywell Aerospace to the holders of common stock of the Company. Each Honeywell Technologies shareowner received one share of Honeywell Aerospace common stock for every two shares of Honeywell Technologies common stock held of record as of the close of business on June 15, 2026, except that they received cash in lieu of any fractional shares of Honeywell Aerospace common stock that they would have received after application of such distribution ratio. The Company structured the transaction to be a tax-free separation to Honeywell Technologies for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Honeywell Aerospace is now an independent publicly traded company under the symbol “HONA” on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. After the date of the Aerospace Spin-Off, the Company no longer consolidates Honeywell Aerospace into its financial results.
We have continuing involvement with Honeywell Aerospace primarily through a transition services agreement, through which Honeywell Technologies and Honeywell Aerospace will continue to provide certain services to each other for a period of time following the separation, a tax matters agreement, and a trademark license agreement, among others.
Pursuant to the trademark license agreement, the Company granted to Honeywell Aerospace an exclusive license to use “Honeywell Aerospace” and other trademarks, subject to certain restrictions and exceptions. The trademark license agreement includes customary quality control provisions to protect and preserve the goodwill associated with “Honeywell” and the other licensed marks. In exchange, Honeywell Aerospace will pay Honeywell Technologies an aggregate amount of $1.125 billion over approximately five years, including an initial payment of $18.75 million due within five days of the Distribution Date followed by 59 equal monthly payments of $18.75 million. The term of the license agreement is 75 years, including an initial term of six years and additional renewal options totaling a maximum of 69 additional years. If Honeywell Aerospace elects not to renew the trademark license agreement, the Company is obligated to reimburse Honeywell Aerospace $50 million unless certain exceptions apply. Honeywell Technologies may unilaterally terminate the trademark license agreement under certain conditions, including, without limitation, (1) on the 6th anniversary of the distribution date, in which case the Company is obligated to reimburse Honeywell Aerospace $250 million of the license fees Honeywell Aerospace paid to Honeywell Technologies during the first five years of the license term, or (2) in connection with certain uncured breach events or following a change of control to which Honeywell Technologies has not provided prior consent.
Advanced Materials Business
On October 30, 2025, the Company completed the spin-off of its Advanced Materials business into an independent, publicly traded company named Solstice. The Company structured the transaction as a tax-free separation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, providing shareowners of record with one share of Solstice stock for every four shares of Honeywell common stock.
