“Second quarter results represent an important step in the continued transformation of Johnson Controls,” said George Oliver, Johnson Controls chairman & chief executive officer. “We reported another quarter of solid operational performance and momentum continues to build. I am encouraged by the continued strength in orders across the Buildings platform driven by the significant efforts we have made to increase capacity and drive improved sales execution. In addition, we are monetizing investments in sales and product and channel investments with 3% organic service growth and 6% organic product growth,” Oliver continued.
“In Power Solutions, we are encouraged by our new business wins in both Original Equipment and Aftermarket, driven by improved service levels and shifts to new technologies. We expect to see this momentum positively impact our top line growth as we move into the second half of the fiscal year. In addition, we are making good progress on our Power Solutions strategic review.”

Sales in the second quarter of 2018 were $2.1 billion, an increase of 1% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales also increased 1% versus the prior year, driven primarily by solid growth in HVAC & Controls.
Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 4% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $5.3 billion increased 5% year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.
Adjusted segment EBITA was $244 million, up 7% versus the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 11.6% increased 60 basis points driven by cost synergies and productivity savings as well as favorable volume/mix, partially offset by expected low margin backlog conversion and salesforce additions.

Sales in the second quarter of 2018 were $907 million, an increase of 2% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales declined 3% versus the prior year driven by lower volumes across Europe and the Middle East, partially offset by continued strength in Latin America.
Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 10% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $1.7 billion increased modestly year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.

Adjusted segment EBITA was $78 million, down 1% versus the prior year quarter. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 8.6% declined 30 basis points over the prior year, as the benefit from cost synergies and productivity savings was more than offset by lower volume de-leverage.

Sales in the second quarter of 2018 were $586 million, an increase of 4% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales declined 2% versus the prior year, as strong growth in service was more than offset by declines in project installations related to the timing of large project flow-through.
Orders in the quarter, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, increased 10% year-over-year. Backlog at the end of the quarter of $1.5 billion was 15% higher year-over-year, excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency.
Adjusted segment EBITA was $71 million, up 6% versus the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 12.1% expanded 20 basis points over the prior year, including a 40 basis point headwind related to foreign currency. Adjusting for foreign currency, the underlying margin improved 60 basis points driven by favorable mix as well as the benefit of cost synergies and productivity savings, partially offset by salesforce additions.

Sales in the second quarter of 2018 were $2.0 billion, an increase of 1% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding M&A and foreign currency, organic sales increased 6% versus the prior year driven by mid-single digit growth in Building Management and HVAC & Refrigeration Equipment, and low-teens growth in Specialty Products.
Adjusted segment EBITA was $237 million, down 6% versus the prior year, primarily attributable to the impact of the Scott Safety divestiture. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 11.6% declined 100 basis points over the prior year including a 120 basis point headwind related to the divestiture of the Scott Safety business. The underlying margin expanded 20 basis points as the benefit of cost synergies and productivity savings as well as favorable volume leverage was partially offset by planned product and channel investments and expected price/cost pressure.

Sales in the second quarter of 2018 were $1.8 billion, an increase of 9% versus the prior year quarter. Excluding the impact of higher lead pass-through and foreign currency, organic sales declined 2% as favorable price and technology mix was more than offset by lower unit volumes. Global original equipment battery shipments declined 2% in-line with overall market demand and aftermarket shipments declined 6% driven primarily by weather impacts in the U.S. and Europe. Start-stop battery shipments increased 14% year-over-year, led by growth in China and the Americas.
Power Solutions adjusted segment EBITA was $314 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior year. Adjusted segment EBITA margin of 17.0% decreased 90 basis points compared with the prior year, including a 60 basis point headwind related to the impact of foreign currency and lead prices. Power Solution’s underlying margin declined 30 basis points as favorable mix and productivity savings were more than offset by higher transportation costs and planned incremental investments.

Johnson Controls International plc Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Johnson Controls International plc has made statements in this communication that are forward-looking and therefore are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements in this document other than statements of historical fact are, or could be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In this communication, statements regarding Johnson Controls’ future financial position, sales, costs, earnings, cash flows, other measures of results of operations, synergies and integration

opportunities, capital expenditures and debt levels are forward-looking statements. Words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “should,” “forecast,” “project” or “plan” and terms of similar meaning are also generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. However, the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Johnson Controls cautions that these statements are subject to numerous important risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, some of which are beyond Johnson Controls’ control, that could cause Johnson Controls’ actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, among others, risks related to: any delay or inability of Johnson Controls to realize the expected benefits and synergies of recent portfolio transactions such as the merger with Tyco and the spin-off of Adient, changes in tax laws (including but not limited to the recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act), regulations, rates, policies or interpretations, the loss of key senior management, the tax treatment of recent portfolio transactions, significant transaction costs and/or unknown liabilities associated with such transactions, the outcome of actual or potential litigation relating to such transactions, the risk that disruptions from recent transactions will harm Johnson Controls’ business, the strength of the U.S. or other economies, automotive vehicle production levels, mix and schedules, energy and commodity prices, the availability of raw materials and component products, currency rates, cancellation of or changes to commercial arrangements, and with respect to the recently announced review of strategic alternatives for the Power Solutions business, uncertainties as to the structure and timing of any transaction and whether it will be completed, the possibility that closing conditions for a transaction may not be satisfied or waived, the impact of the strategic review and any transaction on Johnson Controls and the Power Solutions business on a standalone basis if a transaction is completed, and whether the strategic benefits of any transaction can be achieved. A detailed discussion of risks related to Johnson Controls’ business is included in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Johnson Controls’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2017 fiscal year filed with the SEC on November 21, 2017, and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2017 filed with the SEC on February 2, 2018, both of which are and available at www.sec.gov and www.johnsoncontrols.com under the “Investors” tab. Shareholders, potential investors and others should consider these factors in evaluating the forward-looking statements and should not place undue reliance on such statements. The forward-looking statements included in this communication are made only as of the date of this document, unless otherwise specified, and, except as required by law, Johnson Controls assumes no obligation, and disclaims any obligation, to update such statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this communication.

###
Non GAAP Financial Information
The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include mark-to-market for pension and postretirement plans, transaction/integration/separation costs, restructuring and impairment costs, nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts related to the Tyco merger, Scott Safety gain on sale and discrete tax items. Financial information regarding adjusted sales, organic sales, adjusted segment EBITA, adjusted segment EBITA margin and adjusted free cash flow are also presented, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items such as transaction/integration/separation costs and nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units. Management believes that, when considered together with unadjusted amounts, these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results and business trends of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure.

(1) The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted net sales, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margins, which are non-GAAP performance measures. The Company's definition of adjusted segment EBITA excludes special items because these costs are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of its business units. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

The following is the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 reconciliation of net sales, segment EBITA and segment EBITA margin as reported to adjusted net sales, adjusted segment EBITA and adjusted segment EBITA margin (unaudited):

2. Diluted Earnings Per Share Reconciliation

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding adjusted earnings per share, which is a non-GAAP performance measure. The adjusting items include transaction/integration/separation costs, nonrecurring purchase accounting impacts related to the Tyco merger, mark-to-market gain or loss for pension and postretirement plans, Scott Safety gain on sale, restructuring and impairment costs and discrete tax items. The Company excludes these items because they are not considered to be directly related to the underlying operating performance of the Company. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the ongoing operations and business trends of the Company.

A reconciliation of diluted earnings per share as reported to diluted adjusted earnings per share for the respective periods is shown below (unaudited):

For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the total number of potential dilutive shares due to stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested performance share awards was 9.4 million. However, these items were not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for the three months ended March 31, 2017, since to do so would decrease the loss per share. On an adjusted diluted outstanding share basis, inclusion of the effect of dilutive securities results in diluted weighted average shares outstanding of 948.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The Company has presented forward-looking statements regarding adjusted EPS from continuing operations, adjusted EBIT margin, organic adjusted net sales growth and adjusted free cash flow conversion (defined as adjusted free cash flow divided by adjusted net income from continuing operations attributable to JCI) for the full fiscal year of 2018, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts, expenses, income or cash flows from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts that are excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures are a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period, including but not limited to the high variability of the net mark-to-market adjustments related to pension and postretirement plans and the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations. Our fiscal 2018 outlook for organic adjusted net sales growth also excludes the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, and for our Power Solutions business, the impacts of lead price fluctuations. We are unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available and management cannot reliably predict all of the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s full year 2018 GAAP financial results.

4. Adjusted Free Cash Flow Reconciliation

The Company's press release contains financial information regarding free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow, which are non-GAAP performance measures. Free cash flow is defined as cash used by operating activities less capital expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow excludes special items, as included in the table below, because these cash flows are not considered to be directly related to its underlying business. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash.

The following is the three and six months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 reconciliation of free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow (unaudited):
