Johnson Controls delivers on 2014 second quarter earnings projections

with higher revenues and improved profitability

MILWAUKEE, Apr. 23, 2014 . . . . For the second quarter of fiscal 2014, Johnson Controls, Inc., a global multi-industrial company, reported net income of $261 million, or $0.39 per share, on $10.5 billion in revenues. Second quarter earnings per share (including discontinued operations and excluding non-recurring items) was $0.66, which is at the high end of the company’s previously issued guidance and up 50 percent versus $0.44 last year. As a result of the previously announced sale of its Automotive Electronics business, the Company has reclassified Electronics’ results to discontinued operations and prior year financial statements have been revised accordingly.

Excluding restructuring and non-recurring items in the second quarter, continuing operations highlights include:

• Net revenues of $10.5 billion vs. $10.1 billion in Q2 2013, up 4 percent

• Income from business segment operations of $629 million compared with $461 million a year ago, up 36 percent

• Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.64 versus $0.42 in the same quarter last year, up 52 percent

Non-recurring items that impacted reported second quarter earnings include:

2014 second quarter (net charge of $0.27 per share)

• Non-cash tax charge of $180 million related to the repatriation of foreign cash associated with the Electronics divestiture

2013 second quarter (net charge of $0.20 per share)

• $82 million pre-tax equity interest gain ($0.07 per diluted share)

• $111 million of non-cash tax charges ($0.16 per diluted share)

• $84 million pre-tax restructuring charge ($0.11 per diluted share)

"While the economic environment continues to challenge top line growth in some of our businesses, I am pleased with the profitability improvements in all businesses” said Alex Molinaroli, Johnson Controls chairman and chief executive officer. “These results are consistent with the expectations we disclosed during our first quarter earnings call.”

Business results

Automotive Experience revenues (excluding discontinued operations) in the fiscal second quarter of 2014 were $5.6 billion, up 11 percent compared to the 2013 quarter, reflecting higher automotive production in all geographic regions. Automotive industry production in the quarter increased 5 percent in North America, 5 percent in Europe and 9 percent in China. Revenues in China, which are primarily related to Seating and generated through non-consolidated joint ventures, increased 25 percent to $1.6 billion.

Automotive Experience segment income (excluding discontinued operations) of $241 million was up 226% compared to $74 million in the second quarter of 2013. The 2013 results exclude an $82 million non-recurring equity income gain. The increase was primarily led by improvements in the company’s Seating business, with segment income of $236 million in the current quarter, compared with $94 million last year. The Interiors business showed a profit of $5 million this year compared with a $20 million loss last year. Automotive Experience improvement was a result of improved operational performance in the Company’s metals and mechanisms business and Europe, benefits from restructuring initiatives and higher revenues.

Building Efficiency sales in the fiscal second quarter of 2014 were $3.3 billion, 5 percent lower than the 2013 second quarter, as higher revenues in Asia were more than offset by lower market demand in North America, Europe and the Middle East. Excluding Global Workplace Solutions (GWS) and divestitures, revenues were 2 percent lower. Adjusted for divestitures and currency, backlog was flat compared to the second quarter of last year at $4.8 billion. Second quarter orders were 2 percent lower than last year.

Building Efficiency segment income of $152 million was up 9 percent compared with $139 million the 2013 second quarter, due to cost reduction initiatives and improved margins in North America, Asia and GWS.

Power Solutions sales in the fiscal second quarter of 2014 were flat at $1.6 billion versus the 2013 quarter. Excluding the impact of lead, sales increased 4 percent. Global original equipment battery shipments increased 9 percent, while aftermarket unit shipments were up 1 percent. Power Solutions segment income was $236 million, down 5 percent, compared with $248 million in the second quarter of 2013. The 2013 quarter benefited from a $24 million legal settlement; adjusted for this item, segment income was up 5 percent and margins were up 70 basis points.

The Company is providing updated guidance now that Electronics is reported as a discontinued operation. Previously, the Company provided full year earnings guidance including Electronics of $3.15 - $3.30 per diluted share. Excluding Electronics earnings of approximately $0.10 - $0.12 per share, the adjusted range for continuing operations would be $3.05 to $3.18 per share.

The Company’s updated guidance for earnings from continuing operations is now $3.10 to $3.15 per share. For the third quarter of 2014, the Company provided earnings guidance from continuing operations of $0.81 to $0.84 per share, up 13% to 17%. The Company also reaffirmed its full fiscal year guidance for free cash flow of $1.6 billion and segment margin improvements in all three of its businesses. The updated

Page 2 of 4

guidance assumes that underlying earnings from the recently announced Air Distribution Technologies acquisition are neutral in 2014.

Portfolio update

On April 16, 2014, Johnson Controls announced a definitive agreement to purchase Air Distribution Technologies, one of the strongest and largest independent providers of air distribution and ventilation products in North America, for $1.6 billion. The transaction, which is forecast to close in July 2014 subject to required regulatory approvals, is expected to significantly expand Johnson Controls’ third party distribution channels and create cross-selling opportunities for existing and new products.

The Company said it believes it is on target to close the sale of its Automotive Electronics business by the end of its 2014 fiscal year and that the review of strategic options for its Automotive Interiors business is continuing.

“While we have made significant progress on the changes to our portfolio, our priority remains operational excellence to drive continued increases in profitability and shareholder value. Our first half results demonstrate the success of our employees’ efforts and I thank them for their dedication to our customers and shareholders,” said Molinaroli.

FOOTNOTES

1. Business Unit Summary

In the second quarter of fiscal 2014, the Company began reporting its Automotive Experience Electronics business as a discontinued operation, which required retrospective application to previously reported financial information. As a result, the segment income amounts shown below are for continuing operations and exclude the Electronics business segment income of $29 million for the fiscal 2013 second quarter and $61 million for fiscal 2013 year-to-date. In addition, the fiscal 2014 segment income reported in the first quarter included $36 million related to the Electronics business which is now excluded below.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company changed its method of accounting for certain inventory at Power Solutions from LIFO to FIFO, which required retrospective application to prior year financial statements. As a result of this accounting change, the segment income amounts shown below reflect a decrease to cost of sales of $27 million ($0.03) for the fiscal 2013 second quarter and $35 million ($0.03) for fiscal 2013 year-to-date.
