“Our 2013 financial results demonstrate our consistent focus on delivering shareholder value and continuous improvement in our operating performance through the deliberate deployment of our business operating system,” said Michael W. Lamach, chairman and chief executive officer. “2013 was a strong year with revenue growth, adjusted earnings per share and cash flow at the top of our guidance range, which we accomplished while completing the on-time spinoff of Allegion. Our recent 19 percent dividend increase and new share repurchase program continues our balanced capital allocation strategy focused on optimizing returns to shareholders. Our improving financial performance and solid financial strategy have created significant shareholder value and we have delivered a 378 percent total shareholder return since 2009 – almost triple the return of the S&P 500.”

Additional Highlights from the 2013 Fourth Quarter

Revenues: The company’s reported revenues increased 6 percent to $3,099 million, compared with revenues of $2,924 million for the 2012 fourth quarter. Total U.S. revenues were up 6 percent compared to 2012, and revenues from international operations also increased 6 percent (up 6 percent excluding the impact of currency).

Operating Margin: The fourth-quarter operating margin was 7 percent compared with 8.5 percent in 2012. Adjusted for restructuring and one-time charges, the operating margin for fourth-quarter 2013 was 8.5 percent, flat on a comparable basis with 2012.

Other expense totaled $(1) million for the fourth quarter of 2013, compared with $4 million of income for the 2012 fourth quarter primarily due to higher currency losses in 2013.

Taxes: Excluding restructuring and one-time items, the company had an effective tax rate of 11 percent for the fourth quarter of 2013. The comparable effective rate for the fourth quarter of 2012 was 15 percent.

[Note: The company realigned its reporting segments on December 1, 2013, after the spinoff of the Allegion security business. Adjusted margins for 2012 and 2013 exclude restructuring and other one-time costs – see attached tables for additional details]

The Climate Segment delivers energy-efficient solutions globally and includes Trane^® and American Standard^® Heating and Air Conditioning which provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems and commercial and residential building services, parts, support and controls; and Thermo King^®, the leader in transport temperature control solutions.

On a year-over-year basis, total commercial HVAC revenues increased by a mid-single digit percentage with a mid-single digit percentage increase in equipment revenues and a high-single digit increase in revenues for parts, service and solutions. Commercial HVAC revenues increased by a mid-single digit percentage in the Americas and Europe and by a low-teens percentage in Asia during the quarter compared with last year. Fourth-quarter 2013 HVAC bookings reflect a low-single digit increase compared with last year.

Total Thermo King refrigerated transport revenues increased by a low-teens percentage in the fourth quarter compared with last year, with revenue gains in both the Americas and in Europe, especially in marine equipment and trailers. Bookings increased by a mid-teens percentage in the fourth quarter of 2013, mainly from marine equipment which was up more than 100 percent year-over-year.

Residential HVAC revenues increased by a mid-single digit percentage in the fourth quarter compared with 2012, with volume gains in all major product categories.

Fourth-quarter 2013 segment operating margin was 9 percent (excluding restructuring costs, adjusted operating margin was 10 percent). The adjusted margin improved by 0.6 percentage points on a comparable basis with 2012 due to higher volumes and productivity gains, partially offset by inflation.

as well as Club Car^® golf, utility and rough terrain vehicles. Total revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 were $771 million and increased by 1 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2012 due to flat volume in the Americas and Asia, and gains in Europe.

Fourth-quarter segment operating margin for Industrial Technologies was 14.9 percent (excluding restructuring costs, adjusted operating margin was 16.1 percent). The adjusted operating margin was flat on a comparable basis with 2012, as the benefits from improved productivity were offset by inflation and investments.

The Company reports its financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). This supplemental schedule provides adjusted non-GAAP financial information and a quantitative reconciliation of the difference between the non-GAAP financial measures and the financial measures calculated and reported in accordance with GAAP.

The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered supplemental to, not a substitute for or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. They have limitations in that they do not reflect all of the costs associated with the operations of our businesses as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, these measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures reported by other companies.

We believe the non-GAAP financial information provides important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing our financial condition and results of operations.

The non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and EBITDA margin assist investors with analyzing our business segment results as well as with predicting future performance. In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures are also reviewed by management in order to evaluate the financial performance of each segment. They are the basis for performance reviews, compensation and resource allocation. We believe that the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures will permit investors to assess the performance of the Company on the same basis as management.

As a result, one should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for our results reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by analyzing results on a GAAP basis as well as a non-GAAP basis, prominently disclosing GAAP results and providing reconciliations from GAAP results to non-GAAP results.
