Carrier Global reports Q3 adjusted EPS 83c, consensus 82c

Reports Q3 revenue $5.98B, consensus $6.45B. “We delivered another quarter of strong financial performance while making significant progress on our portfolio transformation,” said Carrier Chair & CEO David Gitlin. “Organic sales growth was up mid-single digits – with aftermarket up 10% – and we grew orders roughly 20% as we continue to gain share across key segments. Strong operating performance driven by Carrier Excellence led to very strong core earnings conversion. Carrier continues to create tremendous value for our shareholders as we become a higher growth and more focused global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. Our new share repurchase authorization reflects our commitment to deliver shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation. We plan to have all our divestitures complete by the end of this year and we are very pleased with the recently announced settlements related to aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). With all of our transformational actions now substantially behind us we can even further increase our focus on customers and delivering continued superior financial performance.”
