NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Carrier Global Corporation (the "Company") is a global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions with a focus on providing differentiated, digitally-enabled lifecycle solutions to its customers. The Company's portfolio includes industry-leading brands such as Carrier, Viessmann, Toshiba, Automated Logic, Carrier Transicold, Kidde, Edwards and LenelS2 that offer innovative heating, ventilating, air conditioning ("HVAC"), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies to help make the world safer and more comfortable. The Company also provides a broad array of related building services, including audit, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring. The Company's operations are classified into three segments: HVAC, Refrigeration and Fire & Security.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023 filed with the SEC on February 6, 2024 (the "2023 Form 10-K").

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries in which it has control. Inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Related party transactions between the Company and its equity method investees have not been eliminated. Non-controlling interest represents a non-controlling investor's interests in the results of subsidiaries that the Company controls and consolidates.

Acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions

On April 25, 2023, the Company announced that it entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the climate solutions business (the "VCS Business") of Viessmann Group GmbH & Co. KG (“Viessmann”), a privately-held company. The VCS Business develops intelligent, integrated and sustainable technologies, including heat pumps, boilers, photovoltaic systems, home battery storage and digital solutions, primarily for residential customers in Europe. The acquisition was completed on January 2, 2024. As a result, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VCS Business are consolidated in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of acquisition and reported within the Company’s HVAC segment. See Note 15 – Acquisitions for additional information.

Portfolio Transformation

On April 25, 2023, the Company announced plans to exit its Fire & Security and Commercial Refrigeration businesses over the course of 2024. On December 7, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell its Access Solutions business ("Access Solutions") to Honeywell International Inc. for an enterprise value of approximately $4.95 billion. Access Solutions, historically reported in the Company's Fire & Security segment, is a global supplier of physical security and digital access solutions supporting the hospitality, commercial, education and military markets. On December 12, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell its Commercial Refrigeration business ("CCR") to Haier Group Corporation for an enterprise value of approximately $775 million. CCR, historically reported in the Company's Refrigeration segment, is a global supplier of turnkey solutions for commercial refrigeration systems and services, with a primary focus on serving food retail customers, cold storage facilities and warehouses. As a result, the assets and liabilities of each business are presented as held for sale in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. See Note 16 - Divestitures for additional information.

Table of Contents

In addition, the net assets of the Company’s Industrial Fire business ("Industrial Fire") met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023. Industrial Fire, historically reported in the Company's Fire & Security segment, is a leading manufacturer of a full spectrum of fire detection and suppression solutions and services in critical high-hazard environments, including oil and gas, power generation, marine and offshore facilities, automotive, data centers and aircraft hangars. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the business are presented as held for sale in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell.

Deconsolidation of Kidde-Fenwal, Inc.

On May 14, 2023, Kidde-Fenwal, Inc. ("KFI"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a petition for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. KFI, an industrial fire detection and suppression business historically reported in the Company's Fire & Security segment, has indicated that it intends to use the bankruptcy process to explore strategic alternatives, including the sale of KFI as a going concern. KFI has further stated that, during the Chapter 11 process, KFI expects that there will be no significant interruptions to its business operations. As of the petition date, KFI was deconsolidated and its respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. See Note 19 - Commitments and Contingent Liabilities for additional information.

Separation from United Technologies

On April 3, 2020 (the Distribution Date"), United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), since renamed RTX Corporation ("Raytheon Technologies Corporation" or "RTX"), completed the spin-off of Carrier into an independent, publicly traded company (the "Separation") through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") on a one-for-one basis of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Carrier to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date of the Distribution. Following the Separation and Distribution, the Company entered into several agreements with UTC and Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") that govern various aspects of the relationship among the Company, UTC and Otis. As of March 31, 2024, only certain portions of the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") remain in effect.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") is the sole source of authoritative U.S. GAAP other than SEC issued rules and regulations that apply only to SEC registrants. The FASB issues Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") to communicate changes to the codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. ASUs pending adoption were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”), which requires public entities to disclose information about their reportable segments’ significant expenses on an interim and annual basis. In addition, the amendments clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment and contain other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires public entities to disclose disaggregated information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its financial statements.

Table of Contents

On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted new rules designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The rules amend the provisions of both Regulation S-K and Regulation S-X and will be required in annual reports and registration statements. Amendments to Regulation S-K require disclosure of climate-related risks, transition plans, targets and goals, risk management and governance. Amendments to Regulation S-X require disclosure of the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions as well as the use of carbon offsets or renewable energy credits. Disclosure requirements will begin phasing in for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025, subject to legal challenges and the SEC's voluntary stay of the disclosure requirements. The Company will continue to assess the impact of these new rules on its financial statements while the stay is in place.

NOTE 3: INVENTORIES, NET

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Cost is primarily determined based on the first-in, first-out inventory method ("FIFO") or average cost methods, which approximates current replacement cost. However, certain subsidiaries use the last-in, first-out inventory method ("LIFO").

Inventories, net consisted of the following:


(In millions)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Raw materials	$	979	$	695
Work-in-process	296		259
Finished goods	1,914		1,263

Inventories, net	$	3,189	$	2,217

The Company performs periodic assessments utilizing customer demand, production requirements and historical usage rates to determine the existence of excess and obsolete inventory and records necessary provisions to reduce such inventories to the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods are net of valuation reserves of $260 million and $223 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

NOTE 4: GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Company records goodwill as the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in a business combination. Goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than its carrying value.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:


(In millions)	HVAC		Refrigeration		Fire & Security		Total
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	6,407	$	1,124	$	458	$	7,989

(1) See Note 15 - Acquisitions for additional information.

(2) See Note 16 - Divestitures for additional information.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the asset may be less than the carrying amount of the asset. All other intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment Assessment

On January 1, 2024, the Company reorganized its HVAC segment reporting units due to the VCS Business acquisition. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test on its legacy Commercial HVAC, North America residential and light commercial and Global Comfort solutions reporting units prior to the reorganization which did not result in a goodwill impairment. The Company then reassigned goodwill among its new regional reporting units using a relative fair value approach and performed a goodwill impairment assessment which did not result in a goodwill impairment.

On January 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the VCS Business for total consideration of $14.2 billion. Under the terms of the Agreement, 20% of the purchase price was paid in Carrier common stock, issued directly to Viessmann and subject to certain lock up provisions and 80% was paid in cash, subject to working capital and other adjustments. In order to fund the Euro-denominated cash portion of the purchase price, the Company used cash on hand, debt financing and various term loan facilities.

Euro-denominated borrowings bore interest at the EURIBOR Rate plus a ratings-based margin, USD-denominated borrowings bore interest at either a Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10% and a ratings-based margin or, alternatively, at a base rate plus a ratings-based margin.

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into a senior unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain other lenders that permits aggregate borrowings of up to €2.3 billion (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). The facility consists of an 18-month, Euro-denominated tranche in an aggregate amount of €1.15 billion and a 3-year, Euro-denominated tranche in an aggregate amount of €1.15 billion. Euro-denominated borrowings bear interest at the EURIBOR Rate plus a ratings-based margin, USD-denominated borrowings bear interest at either a Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10% and a ratings-based margin or, alternatively, at a base rate plus a ratings-based margin.

On July 25, 2022, the Company borrowed JPY 54 billion under the Japanese Term Loan Facility and used the proceeds to fund a portion of the Yen-denominated purchase price of Toshiba Carrier Corporation ("TCC") and to pay related fees and expenses.

Revolving Credit Facility

On May 19, 2023, the Company entered into a revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders, permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.0 billion pursuant to an unsecured, unsubordinated revolving credit facility that matures in May 2028 (the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The Revolving Credit Facility supports the Company's commercial paper program and can be used for other general corporate purposes. Borrowings are available in U.S. Dollars and Euros. U.S. Dollar borrowings can bear interest at either a Term SOFR Rate plus 0.10% and a ratings-based margin or, alternatively, at an alternate base rate plus a ratings-based margin. Euro borrowings bear interest at an adjusted EURIBOR rate plus a ratings-based margin. A ratings-based commitment fee is charged on unused commitments. Upon entering into the agreement, the Company terminated its existing revolving credit facility that was set to mature in April 2025. In addition, the Company capitalized $2 million of deferred financing costs which are being amortized over its term. As of March 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Commercial Paper Program

The Company has a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program, which can be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. As of March 31, 2024, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper program.

Project Financing Arrangements

The Company is involved in long-term construction contracts in which it arranges project financing with certain customers. As a result, the Company issued $10 million and $5 million of debt during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Long-term debt repayments associated with these financing arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were $5 million and $2 million, respectively.

Debt Covenants

The Revolving Credit Facility, Revolver, the indenture for the long-term notes and the Japanese Term Loan Facility contain affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of these types, which, among other things, limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens, to make certain fundamental changes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the covenants under the agreements governing its outstanding indebtedness.

NOTE 6: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement ("ASC 820"), defines fair value as the price that would be received if an asset is sold or the price paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset or liability as follows:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•Level 2: Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data, when available, in making fair value measurements. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to certain risks arising from business operations and economic factors, including foreign currency and commodity price risk. These exposures are managed through operational strategies and the use of undesignated hedging contracts. The Company's derivative assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using internal models based on observable market inputs, such as forward, interest, contract and discount rates with changes in fair value reported in Other income (expense), net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

During 2022, the Company entered into cross currency swaps with various financial institutions to fund a portion of the Yen-denominated purchase price of TCC. The cross currency swaps are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates as well as credit default swap spreads. The Company designated the cross currency swaps as a partial hedge of its investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Japanese Yen in order to manage foreign currency translation risk. As a result, changes in the fair value of the swaps are recorded in Equity in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. From time to time, the Company settles and enters into new cross currency swaps with the same purpose and characteristics as initially established.

Table of Contents

The remaining portion of the Yen-denominated purchase price was funded by the Japanese Term Loan Facility. The carrying value of the facility is translated on a recurring basis using the exchange rate at the end of the applicable period and approximates its fair value. The Company designated the Japanese Term Loan Facility as a partial hedge of its investment in certain subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Japanese Yen in order to manage foreign currency translation risk. As a result, changes in the carrying value of the Japanese Term Loan Facility associated with foreign exchange rate movements are recorded in Equity in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

During 2023, the Company entered into window forward contracts with Bank of America N.A. and JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. to mitigate the foreign currency risk of the expected cash outflows associated with the Euro-denominated purchase price of the VCS Business. The instruments had an aggregate notional amount of €7 billion and a settlement window between November 28, 2023 and February 27, 2024. The window forward contracts were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates with changes in fair value reported in Other income (expense), net in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $86 million loss on the mark-to-market valuation of its window forward contracts. The Company settled the window forward contracts on January 2, 2024 upon the acquisition of the VCS Business.

During 2023, the Company entered into several interest rate swap contracts to mitigate interest rate exposure on the forecasted issuance of long-term debt. The contracts had an aggregate notional amount of $1.525 billion and were designated as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value reported in Equity in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Fair value was measured on a recurring basis using observable market inputs, such as forward, discount and interest rates. In November 2023, the contracts were settled upon the issuance of the underlying debt. As a result, the Company deferred a net unrecognized gain of $58 million in Equity which will be subsequently recognized in Interest expense over the term of the related notes which range from 2034 to 2044. The amount expected to be amortized during 2024 is a net gain of $5 million.

The following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value and measured on a recurring basis in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:


(In millions)	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

The following table provides the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company's long-term notes that are not recorded at fair value in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:


	March 31, 2024				December 31, 2023
(In millions)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value



Total long-term Notes (1)	$	13,895	$	12,873	$	13,951	$	13,194

(1) Excludes debt discount and issuance costs.

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is measured based on observable market inputs which are considered Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these accounts and would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's financing leases and project financing obligations, included in Long-term debt and Current portion of long-term debt on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, approximate fair value and are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

(1) The cash settled awards are classified as liability awards and are measured at fair value at each balance sheet date.

NOTE 9: PRODUCT WARRANTIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company provides standard warranty coverage on its products. Provisions for these amounts are established at the time of sale and estimated primarily based on product warranty terms and historical claims experience. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with specific product performance issues. Provisions for these amounts are established when they are known and estimable. The Company assesses the adequacy of its initial provisions and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated claims or as new information becomes available that suggests it is probable that future costs will be different than estimated amounts. Amounts associated with these provisions are classified on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as Accrued liabilities or Other long-term liabilities based on their anticipated settlement date.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company may repurchase its outstanding common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and at the Company's discretion. Repurchases occur in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions pursuant to plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Shares acquired are recognized at cost and presented separately on the balance sheet as a reduction to Equity. Since the initial authorization in February 2021, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.1 billion of the Company's outstanding common stock.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 43.5 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion, including shares repurchased under an accelerated share repurchase agreement. As a result, the Company had approximately $2.1 billion remaining under the current authorization at December 31, 2023. Upon announcement of the proposed acquisition of the VCS Business, the Company temporarily paused its share repurchase program in order to advance its capital allocation strategy. As a result, there is no share repurchase activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 11: REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue is recognized when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. A significant portion of the Company's performance obligations are recognized at a point-in-time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which is generally at the time of shipment. The remaining portion of the Company’s performance obligations are recognized over time as the customer simultaneously obtains control as the Company performs work under a contract, or if the product being produced for the customer has no alternative use and the Company has a contractual right to payment.

Sales disaggregated by product and service are as follows:

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets relate to the conditional right to consideration for any completed performance under a contract when costs are incurred in excess of billings under the percentage-of-completion methodology. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract or when the Company has a right to consideration that is conditioned upon transfer of a good or service to a customer. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract.

The Company recognized revenue of $345 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2024. The Company expects a majority of its current contract liabilities at the end of the period to be recognized as revenue in the next 12 months.

NOTE 12: RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The Company incurs costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to improve operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include improving productivity, workforce reductions and the consolidation of facilities. Due to the size, nature and frequency of these discrete plans, they are fundamentally different from the Company's ongoing productivity actions.

The Company recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring initiatives as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

The balance relates to cost reduction efforts, primarily severance related across each of the Company's segments, along with reserves associated with the Company's planned portfolio transformation. The Company expects a majority of the balance to be utilized within one year.

NOTE 13: INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes ("ASC 740"), which requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate was 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared with 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a tax benefit of $21 million associated with the TMA and UTC's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), a net tax benefit of $19 million related to adjustments to basis differences in certain companies presented as held-for-sale and a net tax benefit of $16 million related to the re-organization and disentanglement of certain Fire & Security industrial businesses in advance of the planned divestitures. These amounts were partially offset by a tax charge of $15 million related to a reduction of utilizable foreign tax credits.

The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis through an analysis of potential sources of future taxable income, including prior year taxable income that may be available to absorb a carryback of tax losses, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and forecasts of taxable income. The Company considers all negative and positive evidence, including the weight of the evidence, to determine whether valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are required. The Company maintains valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets.

The Company conducts business globally and files income tax returns in U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, the Company's operations were included in UTC's combined tax returns for the periods through the Distribution. The IRS has completed its audit of UTC's 2017 and 2018 tax years. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Mexico, the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years prior to 2020 and, with few exceptions, is no longer subject to state, local and foreign income tax examinations for tax years prior to 2013.

In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying the Company's income tax positions. The Company assesses its income tax positions and records tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that a net decrease in unrecognized tax benefits of $30 million to $45 million may occur within 12 months as a result of additional uncertain tax positions, the Separation, the revaluation of uncertain tax positions arising from examinations, appeals, court decisions and/or the expiration of tax statutes.

NOTE 14: EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is computed by dividing Net income attributable to common shareowners by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period (excluding treasury stock). Diluted earnings per share is computed by giving effect to all potentially dilutive stock awards that are outstanding. The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock-based awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the effect of the potential exercise would be anti-dilutive.

The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations:

NOTE 15: ACQUISITIONS

Acquisitions are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. As a result, the aggregate purchase price has been allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the estimate of fair market value of such assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition.

Viessmann Climate Solutions

On January 2, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of the VCS Business from Viessmann for total consideration of $14.2 billion. The purchase price consisted of (i) $11.2 billion in cash and (ii) 58,608,959 shares of the Company's common stock, subject to certain lock-up provisions and anti-dilution protection. The Company funded the cash portion of the purchase price with a combination of cash on hand, net proceeds from the USD Notes and Euro Notes and borrowings under the Delayed Draw Facility and the 60-day Loan.

The VCS Business develops intelligent, integrated and sustainable technologies, including heat pumps, boilers, photovoltaic systems, home battery storage and digital solutions, primarily for residential customers in Europe. The Company believes that secular trends in these areas will drive significant, sustained future growth. In addition, the Company anticipates realizing significant operational synergies including savings through supplier rationalization and leverage, reduced manufacturing costs and lower general and administrative costs. Longer term, the Company expects to benefit from synergies related to service revenue expansion, leverage of distribution channels and cross-selling opportunities.

The excess purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired was recognized as goodwill and totaled $7.6 billion, which is not deductible for tax purposes. Accounts receivable and current liabilities were stated at their historical carrying value, which approximates fair value given the short-term nature of these assets and liabilities. The estimate of fair value for inventory and fixed assets was based on an assessment of the acquired assets' condition as well as an evaluation of the current market value of such assets.

The Company recorded intangible assets based on its estimate of fair value which consisted of the following:


(In millions)	Estimated Useful Life (in years)	Intangible Assets Acquired
Customer relationships	17	$	4,787
Technology	10 - 20	1,051

Total intangible assets acquired		$	6,640

Table of Contents

The valuation of intangible assets was determined using an income approach methodology including the multi-period excess earnings method and the relief from royalty method. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included projected revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins, discount rates, customer attrition rates and royalty rates among others. The projected future cash flows are discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. As of March 31, 2024, the Company is in the process of completing its valuation of tangible, intangible and tax-related assets relating to the VCS Business and the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be completed once the valuation process has been finalized.

The assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VCS Business are consolidated in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of acquisition and reported within the Company's HVAC segment. For the period from January 2, 2024 to March 31, 2024, revenues for the VCS Business were $875 million and its net loss was $124 million which included amortization of the step-up to fair value of inventory and backlog of $111 million as well as $139 million of intangible asset amortization.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $30 million of acquisition-related costs. During 2023, $80 million of acquisition-related costs were incurred, of which $12 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023. These acquisition costs are reflected within Selling, general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the acquisition of the VCS Business as if the business combination had occurred on January 1, 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023
Revenue	$	6,182	$	6,278
Earnings	343		79

The pro forma amounts include the historical operating results of the Company and the VCS Business prior to the acquisition, with adjustments directly attributable to the acquisition including amortization of the step-up to fair value of inventory and amortization expense of acquired intangible assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have been achieved had the acquisition of the VCS Business been consummated as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of any future results. In addition, the unaudited pro forma financial information does not reflect the expected realization of any synergies or cost savings associated with the acquisition.

NOTE 16: DIVESTITURES

Portfolio Transformation

On April 25, 2023, the Company announced plans to exit its Fire & Security and Commercial Refrigeration businesses over the course of 2024. On December 7, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell its Access Solutions business to Honeywell International Inc. for an enterprise value of approximately $4.95 billion. Access Solutions, historically reported in the Company's Fire & Security segment, is a global supplier of physical security and digital access solutions supporting the hospitality, commercial, education and military markets. On December 12, 2023, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell the CCR business to Haier Group Corporation for an enterprise value of approximately $775 million. CCR, historically reported in the Company's Refrigeration segment, is a global supplier of turnkey solutions for commercial refrigeration systems and services, with a primary focus on serving food retail customers, cold storage facilities and warehouses. As a result, the assets and liabilities of both businesses are presented as held for sale in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. Both transactions are expected to close in 2024 and are subject to customary closing conditions.

In addition, the net assets of Industrial Fire met the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the fourth quarter of 2023. Industrial Fire, historically reported in the Company's Fire & Security segment, is a leading manufacturer of a full spectrum of fire detection and suppression solutions and services in critical high-hazard environments, including oil and gas, power generation, marine and offshore facilities, automotive, data centers and aircraft hangars. As a result, the assets and liabilities of the business are presented as held for sale in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated cost to sell. On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell its Industrial Fire business to Sentinel Capital Partners for an enterprise value of approximately $1.425 billion. The transaction is expected to close in 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions.

NOTE 19: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

The Company is involved in various litigation, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental (including asbestos) and legal matters. In accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, the Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount. In addition, these estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. The Company is unable to predict the final outcome of the following matters based on the information currently available, except as otherwise noted. However, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations or financial condition.

Environmental Matters

The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to individual sites, including the technology required to remediate, current laws and regulations and prior remediation experience.

The outstanding liabilities for environmental obligations are as follows:


(In millions)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Environmental reserves included in Accrued liabilities	$	19	$	21
Environmental reserves included in Other long-term liabilities	201		203
Total Environmental reserves	$	220	$	224

For sites with multiple responsible parties, the Company considers its likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation costs and the ability of other parties to fulfill their obligations in establishing a provision for these costs. Accrued environmental liabilities are not reduced by potential insurance reimbursements and are undiscounted.

Asbestos Matters

The Company has been named as a defendant in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos allegedly integrated into certain Carrier products or business premises. While the Company has never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporates it into any currently-manufactured products, certain products that the Company no longer manufactures contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or have been covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos-related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any period.

The Company's asbestos liabilities and related insurance recoveries are as follows:


(In millions)	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Asbestos liabilities included in Accrued liabilities	$	15	$	15
Asbestos liabilities included in Other long-term liabilities	203		206
Total Asbestos liabilities	$	218	$	221

Asbestos-related recoveries included in Other assets, current	$	5	$	5
Asbestos-related recoveries included in Other assets	87		88
Total Asbestos-related recoveries	$	92	$	93

The amounts recorded for asbestos-related liabilities are based on currently available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable and are made with input from outside actuarial experts. These amounts are undiscounted and exclude the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims, which are expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has recorded insurance recovery receivables for probable asbestos-related recoveries.

Aqueous Film Forming Foam Litigation

As of March 31, 2024, the Company, KFI and others have been named as defendants in more than 7,000 lawsuits filed by individuals in or removed to the federal courts of the United States alleging that the historic use of Aqueous Film Forming Foam ("AFFF") caused personal injuries and/or property damage. The Company, KFI and others have also been named as defendants in more than 800 lawsuits filed by several U.S. states, municipalities and water utilities in or removed to U.S. federal courts alleging that the historic use of AFFF caused contamination of property and water supplies. In December 2018, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred and consolidated all AFFF cases pending in the U.S. federal courts against the Company, KFI and others to the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina (the "MDL Proceedings"). The individual plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings generally seek damages for alleged personal injuries, medical monitoring, diminution in property value and injunctive relief to remediate alleged contamination of water supplies. The U.S. state, municipal and water utility plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings generally seek damages and costs related to the remediation of public property and water supplies.

AFFF is a firefighting foam, developed beginning in the late 1960s pursuant to U.S. military specification, used to extinguish certain types of hydrocarbon-fueled fires. The lawsuits identified above relate to Kidde Fire Fighting, Inc., which owned the National Foam business. Kidde Fire Fighting, Inc. was acquired by a UTC subsidiary in 2005 and merged into KFI in 2007. The National Foam business manufactured AFFF for sale to government (including the U.S. federal government) and non-government customers in the U.S. at a single facility located in West Chester, Pennsylvania (the "Pennsylvania Site"). In 2013, KFI divested the AFFF businesses to an unrelated third party. The Company acquired KFI as part of the Separation in April 2020.

The key components that contribute to AFFF's fire-extinguishing capabilities are known as fluorosurfactants. Neither the Company, nor KFI, nor any of the Company's subsidiaries involved in the AFFF litigation manufactured fluorosurfactants. Instead, the National Foam business purchased these substances from unrelated third parties for use in manufacturing AFFF. Plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings allege that the fluorosurfactants used by various manufacturers in producing AFFF contained, or over time degraded into, compounds known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (referred to collectively as "PFAS"), including perflourooctanesulfonic acid ("PFOS") and perflourooctanoic acid ("PFOA"). Plaintiffs further allege that, as a result of the use of AFFF, PFOS and PFOA were released into the environment and, in some instances, ultimately reached drinking water supplies.

Plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings allege that PFOS and PFOA contamination has resulted from the use of AFFF manufactured using a process known as ECF, and that this process was used exclusively by 3M. They also allege that PFOA contamination has resulted from the use of AFFF manufactured using a different process, known as telomerization, and that this process was used exclusively by the other AFFF manufacturers (including the National Foam business). Compounds containing PFOS and PFOA (as well as many other PFAS) have also been used for decades by many third parties in a number of different industries to manufacture firefighters’ protective outerwear, carpets, clothing, fabrics, cookware, food packaging, personal care products, cleaning products, paints, varnishes and other consumer and industrial products.

Plaintiffs in the MDL Proceedings have named multiple defendants, including suppliers of chemicals and raw materials used to manufacture fluorosurfactants, fluorosurfactant manufacturers and AFFF manufacturers. The defendants in the MDL Proceedings moved for summary judgment on the government contractor defense, which potentially applies to AFFF sold to or used by the U.S. government. After full briefing and oral argument, on September 16, 2022, the MDL court declined to enter summary judgment for the defendants. The defense, however, remains available at any trial to which it applies.

On September 23, 2022, after completion of discovery, the MDL court selected one water provider case, the City of Stuart, FL v. 3M, et al., for a bellwether trial. That trial was scheduled to begin in early June 2023 but was postponed indefinitely. The MDL court ordered that the bellwether process for personal injury cases to begin in 2023. However, the court has not yet outlined details on that process or its timing.

Outside of the MDL Proceedings, the Company and other defendants also are party to six lawsuits in U.S. state courts brought by oil refining companies alleging product liability claims related to legacy sales of AFFF and seeking damages for the costs to replace the product and for property damage. In addition, the Company and other defendants are party to two actions related to the Pennsylvania Site in which the plaintiff water utility company seeks remediation costs related to the alleged contamination of the local water supply. The Company, KFI and other defendants are also party to one action in Arizona state court brought by a firefighter claiming that occupational exposure to AFFF has caused certain personal injuries.

The Company and KFI believe that they have meritorious defenses to the claims in the MDL Proceedings and the other AFFF lawsuits. Given the numerous factual, scientific and legal issues to be resolved relating to these claims, the Company is unable to assess the probability of liability or to reasonably estimate a range of possible loss at this time. There can be no assurance that any such future exposure will not be material in any period.

On May 14, 2023, KFI filed a voluntary petition with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code after the Company determined that it would not provide financial support to KFI going forward, other than ensuring KFI has access to services necessary for the effective operation of its business. As a result, all litigation against KFI is automatically stayed. KFI filed an adversary complaint and motion in the Chapter 11 case seeking an order staying or enjoining all AFFF-related litigation against the Company, its other subsidiaries and RTX. That motion was resolved through an agreement that effectively stays the AFFF litigation against these parties. KFI has also indicated to the bankruptcy court that it intends to pursue insurance coverage for AFFF-related liabilities and contractual indemnification for AFFF-related liabilities from the third party to which KFI sold National Foam. On November 21, 2023, the bankruptcy court ordered certain parties, including the Company, to participate in a mediation with respect to claims that might be asserted by and against it in the bankruptcy proceedings. The parties have engaged in several mediation sessions and anticipate further sessions in the future. The terms and scope of any potential settlement may be affected by, among other factors, the bankruptcy court’s ability to approve nonconsensual releases of litigation claims against non-debtors, which the United States Supreme Court is expected to decide in Harrington v. Purdue Pharma, L.P.

Deconsolidation Due to Bankruptcy

As of May 14, 2023, the Company no longer controlled KFI as their activities are subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court. Therefore, KFI was deconsolidated and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Upon deconsolidation, the Company determined the fair value of its retained interest in KFI to be zero and will account for it prospectively using the cost method. As a result of these actions, the Company recognized a loss of $297 million in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations within Other income/(expense), net. In addition, the deconsolidation resulted in an investing cash outflow of $134 million in the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In connection with the bankruptcy filing, KFI entered into several agreements with subsidiaries of the Company to ensure they have access to services necessary for the effective operation of their business. All post-deconsolidation activity between the Company and KFI are reported as third-party transactions recorded within the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Since the petition date, there were no material transactions between the Company and KFI.

On March 15, 2024, the Company and Pacific Avenue Capital Partners entered into certain agreements including a stock and asset purchase agreement whereby Pacific Avenue Capital Partners shall acquire certain assets and operating liabilities of KFI, subject to approval by the bankruptcy court. On April 1, 2024, the bankruptcy court subsequently approved the sale. However, there has been no determination with respect to the allocation of sale proceeds.

Income Taxes

Under the TMA relating to the Separation, the Company is responsible to UTC for its share of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act transition tax associated with foreign undistributed earnings as of December 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a $46 million gain associated with the TMA and UTC's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the IRS. Liabilities under the TMA of $96 million and $233 million are included within the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet within Accrued Liabilities and Other Long-Term Liabilities as of March 31, 2024, respectively. This obligation is expected to be settled in annual installments ending in April 2026 with the next installment of $96 million due in 2024. The Company believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of this amount is remote.

Other

The Company has other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount.

In the ordinary course of business, the Company is also routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. The Company does not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon its results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

With respect to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PricewaterhouseCoopers") reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated April 25, 2024, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for its report on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareowners of Carrier Global Corporation

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Carrier Global Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2024, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 6, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Recent Developments

Acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions

On April 25, 2023, we announced that we entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) to acquire the climate solutions business (the "VCS Business") of Viessmann Group GmbH & Co. KG (“Viessmann”), a privately-held company. The VCS Business develops intelligent, integrated and sustainable technologies, including heat pumps, boilers, photovoltaic systems, home battery storage and digital solutions, primarily for residential customers in Europe. The acquisition was completed on January 2, 2024. As a result, the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the VCS Business are consolidated in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the date of acquisition and reported within our HVAC segment.

Portfolio Transformation

On April 25, 2023, we announced plans to exit our Fire & Security and Commercial Refrigeration businesses over the course of 2024. On December 7, 2023, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell our Access Solutions business ("Access Solutions") to Honeywell International Inc. for an enterprise value of approximately $4.95 billion. Access Solutions, historically reported in our Fire & Security segment, is a global supplier of physical security and digital access solutions supporting the hospitality, commercial, education and military markets. On December 12, 2023, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell our Commercial Refrigeration business ("CCR") to Haier Group Corporation for an enterprise value of approximately $775 million. CCR, historically reported in our Refrigeration segment, is a global supplier of turnkey solutions for commercial refrigeration systems and services, with a primary focus on serving food retail customers, cold storage facilities and warehouses. On March 5, 2024, we entered into a stock purchase agreement to sell our Industrial Fire business ("Industrial Fire") to Sentinel Capital Partners for an enterprise value of approximately $1.425 billion. Industrial Fire, historically reported in our Fire & Security segment, is a leading manufacturer of a full spectrum of fire detection and suppression solutions and services in critical high-hazard environments, including oil and gas, power generation, marine and offshore facilities, automotive, data centers and aircraft hangars. These transactions are expected to close in 2024.

Deconsolidation of Kidde-Fenwal, Inc.

On May 14, 2023, Kidde-Fenwal, Inc. ("KFI"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, filed a petition for voluntary reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. KFI, an industrial fire detection and suppression business historically reported in our Fire & Security segment, has indicated that it intends to use the bankruptcy process to explore strategic alternatives, including the sale of KFI as a going concern. KFI has further stated that, during the Chapter 11 process, KFI expects that there will be no significant interruptions to its business operations. As of the petition date, KFI was deconsolidated and its respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses. We believe that the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their potential significance to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. In "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2023 Form 10-K, we describe the significant accounting estimates and policies used in the preparation of the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as noted below, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting estimates.

Business Combinations

In accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), acquisitions that meet the definition of a business are recorded using the acquisition method of accounting. We recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date at fair value. The valuation of intangible assets is determined by an income approach methodology, using assumptions such as projected future revenues, customer attrition rates, royalty rates, tax rates and discount rates. The excess, if any, of total consideration transferred in a business combination over the fair value of identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any non-controlling interest is recognized as goodwill. Costs incurred as a result of a business combination other than costs related to the issuance of debt or equity securities are recorded in the period the costs are incurred.

Foreign currency translation	—	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	15	%

Total % change	17	%

Organic sales for the three months ended March 31, 2024, increased by 2% compared with the same period of 2023. The organic increase was primarily driven by our HVAC segment due to improved end-markets in the Americas, which more than offset reduced end-market demand in EMEA and Asia. In addition, our Fire & Security segment benefited from volume growth and price improvements in both the Commercial and Residential fire and Industrial fire businesses. Refrigeration results decreased as each of the segment's businesses experienced challenges in certain end-markets during the quarter. Refer to "Segment Review" below for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

On January 2, 2024, we acquired the VCS Business, a leading manufacturer of high efficiency heating and renewable energy systems in Europe. The results of the VCS Business have been included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The transaction added 16% to Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and is included in Acquisitions and divestitures, net.

As of May 14, 2023, we no longer controlled KFI as their activities are subject to review and oversight by the bankruptcy court. Therefore, KFI was deconsolidated and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The deconsolidation had a 1% impact on Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and is included in Acquisitions and divestitures, net.

Gross Margin

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, gross margin was $1.7 billion, a 24% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024			2023
Net sales	$	6,182		$	5,273
Cost of products and services sold	(4,477)			(3,895)
Gross margin	$	1,705		$	1,378
Percentage of net sales	27.6		%	26.1		%

Gross margin increased by $327 million compared with the three months ended March 31, 2023. The main driver of the increase related to ongoing customer demand, pricing improvements and our continued focus on productivity initiatives. Operating results associated with the VCS Business since the date of acquisition further benefited gross margin during the period. As a result, gross margin as a percentage of Net sales increased by 150 basis points compared with the same period of 2023. However, the results of the VCS Business included inventory step-up, backlog amortization and intangible asset amortization resulting from the recognition of acquired assets at fair value. These costs had a 250 basis point unfavorable impact on gross margin as a percentage of Net sales.

Operating Expenses

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, operating expenses, including Equity method investment net earnings, were $1.2 billion, a 46% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024			2023
Selling, general and administrative	$	(985)		$	(721)
Research and development	(224)			(139)
Equity method investment net earnings	31			44
Other income (expense), net	(27)			(7)
Total operating expenses	$	(1,205)		$	(823)
Percentage of net sales	19.5		%	15.6		%

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Selling, general and administrative expenses were $985 million, a 37% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The increase is primarily due to incremental expenses associated with the VCS Business since the date of acquisition. In addition, the current period also included $89 million of acquisition and divestiture-related costs compared with $12 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Research and development costs relate to new product development and new technology innovation. Due to the variable nature of program development schedules, year-over-year spending levels can fluctuate. In addition, we continue to invest to prepare for future energy efficiency and refrigerant regulation changes and in digital controls technologies.

Investments over which we do not exercise control, but have significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Equity method investment net earnings were $31 million, a 30% decrease compared with the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a $23 million charge associated with the devaluation of U.S. Dollar denominated balances at an HVAC equity investment in Egypt.

Other income (expense), net primarily includes the impact of gains and losses related to the sale of businesses or interests in our equity method investments, foreign currency gains and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an entity's functional currency and hedging-related activities. In connection with the acquisition of the VCS Business, we recognized a $86 million loss during the three months ended March 31, 2024 on the mark-to-market valuation of our window forward contracts associated with the cash outflows of the Euro-denominated purchase price for the VCS Business. In addition, we recognized a $46 million gain associated with our share of United Technologies Corporation's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS").

Non-Operating Income (Expense), net

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Non-operating income (expense), net was $165 million, a 259% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components were as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023
Non-service pension (expense) benefit	$	—	$	—

Interest expense	$	(180)	$	(71)
Interest income	15		25
Interest (expense) income, net	$	(165)	$	(46)

Non-operating income (expense), net	$	(165)	$	(46)

Non-operating income (expense), net includes the results from activities other than normal business operations such as interest expense, interest income and the non-service components of pension and post-retirement obligations. Interest expense is affected by the amount of debt outstanding and the interest rates on that debt. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Interest expense was $180 million, a 154% increase compared with the same period of 2023. In connection with the acquisition of the VCS Business, we entered into several financing arrangements to fund the cash portion of the Euro-denominated purchase price.

Income Taxes


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Effective tax rate	13.7	%	24.0	%

We account for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, which requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate was 13.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared with 24.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by a tax benefit of $21 million associated with United Technologies Corporation's conclusion of certain income tax matters from their 2017 and 2018 tax audit with the IRS, a net tax benefit of $19 million related to adjustments to basis differences in certain companies presented as held-for-sale and a net tax benefit of $16 million related to the re-organization and disentanglement of certain Fire & Security industrial businesses in advance of the planned divestitures. These amounts were partially offset by a tax charge of $15 million related to a reduction of utilizable foreign tax credits.

SEGMENT REVIEW

We have three operating segments:

•The Fire & Security segment provides a wide range of residential, commercial and industrial technologies designed to help protect people and property.

We determine our segments based on how our Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the "CODM"), allocates resources, assesses performance and makes operational decisions. The CODM allocates resources and evaluates the financial performance of each of our segments based on Net sales and Operating profit. Adjustments to reconcile segment reporting to the consolidated results are included in Note 17 - Segment Financial Data.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 Compared with Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Summary performance for each of our segments is as follows:


	Net Sales				Operating Profit				Operating Profit Margin
	Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,				Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023		2024		2023		2024		2023

Total segment	$	6,312	$	5,389	$	679	$	636	10.8	%	11.8	%

HVAC Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Net sales in our HVAC segment were $4.5 billion, a 25% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net Sales
Organic	2	%
Foreign currency translation	(1)	%
Acquisitions and divestitures, net	24	%


Total % change in Net sales	25	%

The organic increase in Net sales of 2% was driven by continued strong results in the segment. Growth in the Americas (up 6%) were primarily driven by our Commercial and Light commercial businesses which benefited from ongoing customer demand and pricing improvements. Growth was partially offset by volume reductions in our Residential business. EMEA (down 10%) was impacted by lower customer demand in residential markets. The reduction was partially offset by strong ongoing customer demand and pricing improvements in commercial markets. Asia (flat) was impacted by lower demand in Japan, offset by improved results in China.

On January 2, 2024, we acquired the VCS Business, a leading manufacturer of high efficiency heating and renewable energy systems in Europe. The results of the VCS Business have been included in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements since the date of acquisition. The transaction added 24% to Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and is included in Acquisitions and divestitures, net.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Operating profit in our HVAC segment was $429 million, a 1% decrease compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Operating Profit
Operational	29	%

Acquisitions and divestitures, net	3	%
Restructuring	(2)	%
Amortization of acquired intangibles	(31)	%

Total % change in Operating profit	(1)	%

The operational profit increase of 29% was primarily attributable to ongoing customer demand and pricing improvements in certain end-markets compared with the prior year. In addition, favorable material and logistics costs drove productivity benefits in the segment. These benefits more than offset volume reductions in certain end-markets. Segment results were also impacted by lower earnings from equity method investments which included a $23 million charge associated with the devaluation of U.S. Dollar denominated balances at an HVAC equity investment in Egypt.

Refrigeration Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Net sales in our Refrigeration segment were $884 million, a 2% decrease compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net Sales
Organic	(2)	%
Foreign currency translation	—	%



Total % change in Net sales	(2)	%

Organic Net sales decreased 2% compared with the prior year as the segment experienced challenges in certain end-markets during the period. Results for Commercial refrigeration decreased (down 3%) compared with the prior year, primarily driven by lower volumes in Europe as economic conditions and inflationary cost pressures impacted end-market demand. In addition, Asia was impacted by reduced end-market demand in China. Transport refrigeration results decreased (down 3%) compared to the prior year as lower end-market demand in North America more than offset improved results in Europe and Asia. In addition, the year-over-year decrease was partially offset by strong container end-markets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Operating profit in our Refrigeration segment was $97 million, a 10% decrease compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Operating Profit
Operational	12	%

Acquisitions and divestitures, net	(1)	%
Restructuring	3	%
Other	(24)	%
Total % change in Operating profit	(10)	%

The increase in operational profit of 12% was primarily driven by favorable productivity initiatives and price improvements compared with the prior year. In addition, volume growth in certain end-markets further benefited the segment. These amounts were partially offset by volume reductions in certain end-markets. Inflationary cost pressures are moderating but continue to impact our operating profit. Amounts reported in Other represent a $24 million gain on the sale of a business within Transport refrigeration in the prior year.

Fire & Security Segment

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Net sales in our Fire & Security segment were $887 million, a 2% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Net Sales
Organic	7	%



KFI deconsolidation	(5)	%

Total % change in Net sales	2	%

The organic increase in Net sales of 7% was primarily driven by volume growth and price improvements compared with the prior year. Increased sales in our Commercial and Residential fire business benefited from ongoing customer demand and price improvements in the Americas and Europe. Growth in our Global Industrial business was driven by strong end-market demand and pricing improvements.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Operating profit in our Fire & Security segment was $153 million, a 65% increase compared with the same period of 2023. The components of the year-over-year change were as follows:


	Operating Profit
Operational	75	%


Restructuring	6	%
KFI deconsolidation	(14)	%
Other	(2)	%
Total % change in Operating profit	65	%

The increase in operational profit of 75% was primarily driven by volume growth and price improvements compared with the prior year. In addition, favorable material and logistics costs drove productivity benefits during the period. The segment also benefited from lower inventory-related reserves compared with the prior year as supply chain challenges improved. In addition, lower depreciation and amortization, which was ceased on held-for-sale assets in accordance with ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, further benefited operational profit. These amounts were partially offset by lower volumes in certain end-markets. Inflationary cost pressures are moderating but continue to impact our operating profit.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

We assess liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate amounts of cash necessary to fund our current and future cash requirements to support our business and strategic initiatives. In doing so, we review and analyze our cash on hand, working capital, debt service requirements and capital expenditures. We rely on operating cash flows as our primary source of liquidity. In addition, we have access to other sources of capital to finance our strategic initiatives and fund growth.

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1.3 billion, of which approximately 96% was held by our foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds and the cost effectiveness with which we can access funds held by foreign subsidiaries. On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits in connection with contractual obligations related to acquisitions, divestitures or other legal obligations. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $4 million and $2 million, respectively.

We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the current and future needs of our customers. This is accomplished through research and development activities with a focus on new product development and new technology innovation as well as sustaining activities with a focus on improving existing products and reducing production costs. We also pursue potential acquisitions to complement existing products and services to enhance our product portfolio. In addition, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures and equity investments to manage our business portfolio.

We believe that our available cash and operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Our committed credit facilities and access to the debt and equity markets provide additional sources of short-term and long-term capital to fund current operations, debt maturities and future investment opportunities. Although we believe that the arrangements currently in place permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to and the availability of financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future will be impacted by many factors, including: (1) our credit ratings or absence of credit ratings, (2) the level of our existing indebtedness, (3) the restrictions under our debt agreements, (4) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (5) the state of the economy. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all.

The following table contains several key measures of our financial condition and liquidity:


(In millions)	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,313		$	10,015
Total debt	$	16,895		$	14,293
Total equity	$	11,906		$	9,005

Net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents)	$	15,582		$	4,278
Total capitalization (total debt plus total equity)	$	28,801		$	23,298
Net capitalization (total debt plus total equity less cash and cash equivalents)	$	27,488		$	13,283
Total debt to total capitalization	59		%	61		%
Net debt to net capitalization	57		%	32		%

Acquisition of the VCS Business

On April 25, 2023, we announced that we entered into an Agreement to acquire the VCS Business. Under the terms of the Agreement, 20% of the purchase price was to be paid in Carrier common stock, issued directly to Viessmann and subject to certain lock-up provisions and 80% was to be paid in cash. Simultaneously, we entered into commitment letters with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BofA Securities, Inc. and Bank of America, N.A. to provide a €8.2 billion senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the "Bridge Loan") to fund a portion of the Euro-denominated purchase price.

On May 19, 2023, we entered into a 364-day, $500 million, senior unsecured revolving credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain other lenders (the "Revolver"). In addition, we entered into a senior unsecured delayed draw term loan credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent and certain other lenders that permits aggregate borrowings of up to €2.3 billion (the "Delayed Draw Facility"). Upon entering into the Delayed Draw Facility, the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loan was reduced by €2.3 billion. In November 2023, we issued $3.0 billion principal amount of USD-denominated notes ("USD Notes") and €2.35 billion principal amount of Euro-denominated notes ("Euro Notes"). Upon issuance, the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Loan was reduced by €5.4 billion. On January 2, 2024, we entered into a 60-day senior unsecured term loan agreement consisting of a Euro-denominated tranche in an aggregate amount of €113 million and a USD-denominated tranche in an aggregate amount of $349 million (the “60-day Loan”). Upon entering into the 60-day Loan, we reduced the final portion of the Bridge Loan by €500 million and subsequently terminated the agreement.

On January 2, 2024, we completed the acquisition of the VCS Business for $14.2 billion. The cash portion of the purchase price was funded through cash on hand, proceeds from the USD Notes and the Euro Notes and borrowings under the Delayed Draw Facility and the 60-day Loan. In addition, proceeds from the Revolver became available upon closing.

Borrowings and Lines of Credit

We maintain a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program which we can use for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. In addition, we maintain a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement with various banks (the "Revolving Credit Facility") that matures in May 2028 which supports our commercial paper borrowing program and can be used for general corporate purposes. A ratings-based commitment fee is charged on unused commitments. As of March 31, 2024, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program or our Revolving Credit Facility.

Our short-term obligations primarily consist of current maturities of long-term debt. Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term notes with maturity dates ranging between 2025 and 2054. Interest payments related to long-term Notes are expected to approximate $708 million per year, reflecting an approximate weighted-average interest rate of 4.22%. Any borrowings from the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to variable interest rates. See Note 5 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit in the Notes to the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the terms of our long-term debt obligations.

Portfolio Transformation

Share Repurchase Program

We may repurchase our outstanding common stock from time to time subject to market conditions and at our discretion. Repurchases occur in the open market or through one or more other public or private transactions pursuant to plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Exchange Act. Since the initial authorization in February 2021, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $4.1 billion of our outstanding common stock. As of December 31, 2023, we repurchased 43.5 million shares of common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $2.0 billion, including shares repurchased under an accelerated share repurchase agreement. As a result, we had approximately $2.1 billion remaining under the current authorization at December 31, 2023. Upon announcement of the acquisition of the VCS Business, we temporarily paused our share repurchase program in order to advance our capital allocation strategy.

Dividends

We paid dividends on common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2024, totaling $159 million. In April 2024, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.19 per share of common stock payable on May 22, 2024 to shareowners of record at the close of business on May 3, 2024.

Discussion of Cash Flows


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions)	2024		2023
Net cash flows provided by (used in):
Operating activities	$	40	$	120
Investing activities	(11,081)		(100)
Financing activities	2,379		(213)
Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	(68)		20
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(8,730)	$	(173)

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our operations. Primary activities include net income from operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities. The year-over-year decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by an increase in working capital balances compared with the prior period. Higher accounts receivable balances due to increased sales and lower account payables impacted working capital. Prior year working capital balances increased due to higher safety stock and supply chain constraints.

Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with long-term assets. Primary activities include capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures and proceeds from the sale of fixed assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $11.1 billion. The primary driver of the outflow related to the acquisition of the VCS Business, which totaled $10.8 billion, net of cash acquired. Additional investing outflows include $209 million related to settlement of derivatives and $104 million of capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $100 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to $70 million of capital expenditures. In addition, we settled working capital and other transaction-related items associated with the acquisition of Toshiba Carrier Corporation and invested in several businesses. These amounts totaled $52 million, net of cash acquired and were partially offset by the proceeds from the sale of a business during the period.

Cash flows from financing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with equity or borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $2.4 billion. The primary driver of the inflow related to the proceeds of borrowings on the Bridge Loan and Delayed Draw Facility which were used to fund the cash portion of the acquisition of the VCS Business. This amount was partially offset by the outflow related to the payment of $159 million in dividends to our common shareowners. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $213 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to the payment of $154 million in dividends to our common shareowners. In addition, we paid $62 million to repurchase shares of our common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no significant change in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For discussion of our exposure to market risk, refer to the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Market Risk and Risk Management" in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2024. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, CFO and CAO have concluded that, as of March 31, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, CFO and CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
