"The spin-off of Resideo marks the completion of the portfolio transformation that we initiated last year, leaving us in an even stronger position with a more focused and growth-oriented portfolio and industry-leading businesses across attractive end markets. Our simplified portfolio offers multiple levers to drive organic growth and continued margin expansion, augmented by a vigorous and disciplined M&A strategy that will continue to generate tremendous value for customers and shareowners," said Honeywell Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Darius Adamczyk. "We remain committed to delivering outstanding returns for our share owners, backed by a best-in-class balance sheet, an impressive track record of financial outperformance in the first three quarters of 2018, and a wide range of innovative, technologically advanced products, services and software that addresses the growing needs of our diverse customer base."
