Note 2
The decrease in the 2013 debt to total capitalization ratio, as compared to 2012, reflects the repayment of approximately $2.9 billion of long-term debt, most of which was used to finance the acquisition of Goodrich. The increase in the 2012 debt to total capitalization ratio, as compared to 2011, reflects the issuance of $9.8 billion in long-term debt, $1.1 billion in equity units and the assumption of approximately $3 billion in long-term debt in connection with the acquisition of Goodrich.
Note 3
The increase in 2012, as compared with 2011, includes the net impact of acquisitions and divestitures across the Company, most notably the 2012 acquisition of Goodrich and divestiture of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial business, both within the UTC Aerospace Systems segment, as well as the impact of other acquisitions and dispositions and restructuring actions across UTC.
Note 4
The increase in 2012, as compared with 2011, includes approximately $250 million incremental research and development spending related to the Goodrich businesses that were acquired during 2012, and approximately $65 million at Pratt & Whitney to further advance development of multiple geared turbo fan platforms.
Note 5
In connection with the acquisition of Goodrich, repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program were suspended for 2012. We resumed our share repurchase program in 2013.
Note 6
Capital expenditures increased in 2013 and are expected to increase in 2014 as we build capacity to meet expected demand within our aerospace businesses for the next generation engine platforms. We expect capital expenditures in 2014 of approximately $2 billion.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a global provider of high technology products and services to the building systems and aerospace industries. Our operations for the periods presented herein are classified into five principal business segments: Otis, UTC Climate, Controls & Security, Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky. Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security are referred to as the "commercial businesses," while Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky are collectively referred to as the "aerospace businesses." Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
On September 23, 2013, we announced the formation of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a new organizational structure consisting of the Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security segments. This new organizational structure is expected to enhance our ability to deliver more integrated solutions to our customers and accelerate innovation in smart building technologies and sustainable designs. Otis and UTC Climate, Controls & Security each continue to report their financial and operational results as separate segments, which is consistent with how we allocate resources and measure the financial performance of these businesses.
On July 26, 2012, UTC acquired Goodrich Corporation (Goodrich) pursuant to a merger agreement dated September 21, 2011. As a result of the acquisition, Goodrich became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC. The acquired Goodrich business and the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand business were combined to form a new segment named UTC Aerospace Systems. The results of the acquired Goodrich business have been included in UTC's financial statements only for periods subsequent to the completion of the acquisition. The acquisition resulted in the inclusion of Goodrich's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date at their respective fair values. Accordingly, the acquisition materially affected UTC's results of operations and financial position.
On June 29, 2012, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce plc (Rolls-Royce), MTU Aero Engines AG (MTU) and Japanese Aero Engines Corporation (JAEC), participants in the IAE International Aero Engines AG (IAE) collaboration, completed a restructuring of their interests in IAE. Under the terms of the agreement, Rolls-Royce sold its ownership and collaboration interests in IAE to Pratt & Whitney, while also entering into a license for its V2500 intellectual property with Pratt & Whitney. In exchange for the increased ownership and collaboration interests and intellectual property license, Pratt & Whitney paid Rolls-Royce $1.5 billion at closing with additional payments due to Rolls-Royce during the fifteen year period following closing of the purchase, conditional upon each hour flown by V2500-powered aircraft in service at the closing. Pratt & Whitney entered into a collaboration arrangement with MTU with respect to a portion of the collaboration interest in IAE acquired from Rolls-Royce for consideration of approximately $233 million with additional payments due to Pratt & Whitney in the future. As a result of these transactions, Pratt & Whitney has a 61% net interest in the collaboration and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE, which has been consolidated by Pratt & Whitney post-transaction.
In 2012, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan for the divestiture of a number of non-core businesses. Cash generated from these divestitures was used to repay debt incurred to finance the acquisition of Goodrich. The legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses, as well as Clipper Windpower (Clipper), Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (Rocketdyne) and UTC Power all met the "held-for-sale" criteria in 2012. The results of operations, including the net realized gain and losses on disposition, and the related cash flows which result from these non-core businesses were reclassified to Discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Cash Flows. The dispositions of Clipper and the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses were completed in 2012. On February 12, 2013, we completed the disposition of UTC Power to ClearEdge Power. The UTC Power disposition resulted in payments by UTC totaling $48 million, which included capitalization of the business prior to the sale and interim funding of operations as the acquiror took control of a loss generating business. We have no continuing involvement with the UTC Power business.
On June 14, 2013, we completed the sale of substantially all operations of Rocketdyne to GenCorp Inc. for $411 million. The sale generated a pre-tax loss of approximately $7 million ($3 million after tax), which has been included in Discontinued operations in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. On May 17, 2013, we completed the sale of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for $432 million, excluding contingent consideration valued at approximately $200 million, and we entered into a long-term engineering and manufacturing agreement with MHI. The sale generated a pre-tax gain of approximately $193 million ($132 million after tax). Pratt & Whitney Power Systems was not reclassified to Discontinued operations due to our level of continuing involvement in the business post-sale.
In connection with regulatory approval of the Goodrich acquisition, regulatory authorities required UTC to dispose of the Goodrich electric power systems and the pumps and engine controls businesses. Pursuant to these regulatory obligations, these businesses had been held separately from UTC's and Goodrich's ongoing businesses since the acquisition of Goodrich by UTC. On March 18, 2013, we completed the sale of the Goodrich pumps and engine controls business to Triumph Group, Inc., and on

March 26, 2013, we completed the sale of the Goodrich electric power systems business to Safran S.A. Combined proceeds from the sales of the two businesses were approximately $600 million.
Our consolidated net sales were derived from the commercial and aerospace businesses as follows (sales from Pratt & Whitney's industrial markets are included in "commercial and industrial"):

The significant shift in sales from Commercial and industrial to Commercial aerospace largely reflects the Goodrich and IAE transactions. In 2013 and 2012, approximately 57% of our consolidated sales were original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and 43% were aftermarket parts and services, while in 2011 the amounts were 56% and 44%, respectively.
Our worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic and political factors on both a regional and global level. To limit the impact of any one industry, or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results, our strategy has been, and continues to be, the maintenance of a balanced and diversified portfolio of businesses. Our operations include OEM and extensive related aftermarket parts and services in both our commercial and aerospace businesses. Our business mix also reflects the combination of shorter cycles at UTC Climate, Controls & Security and in our commercial aerospace spares businesses, and longer cycles at Otis and in our aerospace OEM and aftermarket maintenance businesses. Our customers include companies in both the public and private sectors, and our businesses reflect an extensive geographic diversification that has evolved with the continued globalization of world economies. The composition of net sales from outside the U.S., including U.S. export sales to these regions, in U.S. Dollars and as a percentage of total segment sales, is as follows:

As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of currency, political and/or economic risk, such as Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and countries in the Middle East. As of December 31, 2013, the net assets in any one of these countries did not exceed 5% of consolidated shareowners' equity.
Emerging economies, principally China, continue to show strong growth, and together with U.S. economic expansion, are expected to drive global growth in the coming year. Third party forecasts project 2014 global GDP of approximately 3%, and we continue to expect growth rates in China to outpace the rest of the world. European economic recovery is expected with modest growth in northern European economies tempered by lower rates of growth in southern Europe. In the U.S., growth rates are expected to increase in 2014 on improving consumer finances and a strong housing market. Further, we expect continued improvement in commercial construction in North America throughout 2014. U.S. fiscal policy has constrained sales to the U.S. Government in 2013. U.S. and international military volume declines have been partially offset by strong demand for commercial aircraft at Sikorsky, which delivered its first fully configured S-76D in 2013. In 2013, as compared with 2012, commercial aerospace spares orders at Pratt & Whitney increased 27% in total, due to the consolidation of IAE (19%) and as a result of organic order growth during the year (8%). UTC Aerospace Systems' commercial aerospace spares orders increased 63% primarily due to the acquisition of Goodrich.
Organic sales growth was a modest 1% in 2013 as sales increases in commercial aerospace OEM and aftermarket, and in the Americas at our Commercial Businesses, were offset by declines in military OEM and aftermarket. We expect organic sales growth in 2014 to be 3% to 4%. Although we expect an increase in organic growth, which, if realized, would contribute to operating profit growth, we also continue to invest in new platforms and new markets to position us for additional growth, while remaining focused on structural cost reduction, operational improvements and disciplined cash redeployment. These actions contributed to our earnings growth during 2013 and positioned us for further earnings growth as the global economy continues to strengthen.

As discussed below in "Results of Operations," operating profit in both 2013 and 2012 includes the impact from activities that are not expected to recur often or that are not otherwise reflective of the underlying operations, such as the beneficial impact of net gains from business divestiture activities, primarily those related to UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation. Our earnings growth strategy contemplates earnings from organic sales growth, including growth from new product development and product improvements, structural cost reductions, operational improvements, and incremental earnings from our investments in acquisitions. We invested $151 million and $18.6 billion (including debt assumed of $2.6 billion) in the acquisition of businesses across the entire company in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Acquisitions completed in 2013 consisted principally of a number of smaller acquisitions in our commercial businesses. Our investment in businesses in 2012 principally reflected the Goodrich and IAE transactions.
Both acquisition and restructuring costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. Depending on the nature and level of acquisition activity, earnings could be adversely impacted due to acquisition and restructuring actions initiated in connection with the integration of businesses acquired.
For additional discussion of acquisitions and restructuring, see "Liquidity and Financial Condition," "Restructuring Costs" and Notes 2 and 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Organic sales growth during 2013 was led by UTC Aerospace Systems (4%) and Otis (3%), along with organic growth at Pratt & Whitney (2%) and UTC Climate, Controls & Security (1%), offset by organic sales contraction at Sikorsky (8%). The organic sales growth at UTC Aerospace Systems was primarily attributable to higher commercial aerospace OEM and aftermarket volume, while organic sales growth at Otis was primarily a result of higher new equipment sales in China, the U.S. and Russia. The organic sales contraction at Sikorsky was driven primarily by decreased international military, U.S. Government, and military aftermarket sales. The military aftermarket sales decline, driven by lower spares volume, was a result of constrained U.S. Government spending in 2013. The sales increase from net acquisitions and divestitures is a result of Goodrich and IAE sales, partially offset by the portfolio transformation initiatives at UTC Climate, Controls & Security. See the Segment Review section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion of segment organic sales.
Organic sales growth during 2012 at UTC Aerospace Systems (7%) and Pratt & Whitney (2%) was offset by organic sales contraction at Sikorsky (8%). The organic sales growth at UTC Aerospace Systems was primarily attributable to higher aerospace OEM volume, while the organic sales growth at Pratt & Whitney was a result of higher military engine deliveries and aftermarket sales. The organic sales contraction at Sikorsky was driven primarily by fewer aircraft deliveries to the U.S. Government and international military operations. There was no organic sales growth within the commercial businesses in 2012. The sales increase from net acquisitions and divestitures is a result of Goodrich and IAE sales, partially offset by the portfolio transformation initiatives at UTC Climate, Controls & Security.

There was no organic change in total cost of products and services sold in 2013. The increase in cost of products and services sold related to the organic sales growth (1%) was offset by the absence of amortization of inventory fair-value adjustments (1%) related to the Goodrich acquisition that were recorded in 2012 within the UTC Aerospace Systems segment. The total increase in cost of products and services sold is a result of the Goodrich and IAE transactions (9%) partially offset by lower cost of products and services sold as a result of the UTC Climate, Controls & Security portfolio transformation (1%). Cost of products sold as a percentage of product sales declined 100 basis points in 2013, as compared with 2012, as a result of the benefits of favorable pricing and cost savings from prior restructuring actions.
Total cost of products and services sold increased (4%) at a rate consistent with sales growth (4%) in 2012 as compared with 2011. The increase in cost of products and services sold is a result of the Goodrich and IAE transactions (8%) partially offset by lower cost of products and services sold as a result of the UTC Climate, Controls & Security portfolio transformation (3%) and the beneficial impact of foreign currency exchange translation (2%).

Gross margin as a percentage of sales increased 60 basis points, in 2013 as compared with 2012, driven primarily by the absence of inventory fair-value adjustments related to the Goodrich acquisition that were recorded in 2012 (40 basis points) and lower loss provisions recorded by Sikorsky for a contract with the Canadian Government (20 basis points). The benefit of lower restructuring expense coupled with savings from prior restructuring actions was offset by the adverse impact of a sales mix shift from aftermarket to OEM in 2013.
Gross margin as a percentage of sales decreased 60 basis points, in 2012 as compared with 2011, driven primarily by the adverse impact of the Goodrich and IAE transactions (40 basis points), higher restructuring expense in 2012 (30 basis points), and a loss provision recorded by Sikorsky for a contract with the Canadian Government (30 basis points), all of which was partially offset by benefits from the disposition of lower margin businesses in connection with the UTC Climate, Controls & Security portfolio transformation (30 basis points).

Research and development spending is subject to the variable nature of program development schedules and, therefore, year-over-year variations in spending levels are expected. The majority of the company-funded spending is incurred by the aerospace businesses and relates largely to the next generation product family at Pratt & Whitney, the CSeries, Airbus A350, and Boeing 787 programs at UTC Aerospace Systems, and various programs at Sikorsky. The year-over-year increase in company-funded research and development in 2013, compared with 2012, primarily reflects increases at UTC Aerospace Systems (10%) primarily due to development spending related to the Goodrich businesses for full year 2013 as compared to the 2012 post-acquisition period, offset by lower research and development spending at Pratt & Whitney related to the development of multiple geared turbofan platforms (4%). The increase in customer-funded research and development in 2013, as compared with the prior year, reflects spending related to the Goodrich businesses (18%) and at Pratt & Whitney related to military programs (11%).
The increase in company-funded research and development in 2012, compared with 2011, primarily reflects increases at UTC Aerospace Systems as a result of incremental research and development spending related to the Goodrich businesses (13%) and at Pratt & Whitney to further advance development of multiple geared turbo fan platforms and military engines (5%). The increase in customer-funded research and development in 2012, as compared with 2011, reflects spending related to the Goodrich businesses (24%) partially offset by a decrease at Sikorsky (4%) related to a reduction in development spending on U.S. Government military platforms.
Company-funded research and development spending in 2014 is expected to be consistent with 2013 levels.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2013, as compared with 2012, (4%) is due primarily to the impact of acquisitions, net of divestitures, completed over the preceding twelve months (5%) and higher export compliance costs (1%) partially offset by cost savings from previous restructuring actions.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2012, as compared with 2011, is due primarily to the impact of acquisitions, net of divestitures, completed over the preceding twelve months (3%) and higher restructuring costs (2%).

Other income, net includes the operational impact of equity earnings in unconsolidated entities, royalty income, foreign exchange gains and losses as well as other ongoing and infrequently occurring items. The year-over-year change in Other income, net in 2013, as compared with 2012, largely reflects a $193 million gain on the sale of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems, a $39 million gain on a settlement with an engine program partner, higher licensing income of $30 million, and gains on the sale of real estate and other miscellaneous assets of approximately $82 million. All of this was partially offset by a $25 million charge to adjust the fair value of a Pratt & Whitney joint venture investment, a $102 million decline in net gains related to the UTC Climate, Controls & Security portfolio transformation, and the absence of other gains recorded in 2012, including a $34 million gain on the fair value re-measurement of the shares of Goodrich held by the Company prior to the acquisition of Goodrich and a $46 million gain as a result of the effective settlement of a pre-existing contractual dispute in connection with the acquisition of Goodrich. The remaining increase in Other income, net is attributable to the normal recurring operational activity as disclosed above.
The year-over-year change in Other income, net in 2012, as compared with 2011, largely reflects an approximately $46 million net year-over-year increased gain resulting from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation, a $34 million gain on the fair value re-measurement of the shares of Goodrich held by the Company prior to the acquisition of Goodrich, a $46 million gain resulting from the effective settlement of a pre-existing contractual dispute in connection with the acquisition of Goodrich, an $81 million increase in income from joint ventures, as well as the absence of both a $66 million other-than-temporary impairment charge on an equity investment at UTC Climate, Controls & Security, and $45 million of reserves established for legal matters. The remaining increase in Other income, net is attributable to net gains recognized on miscellaneous asset sales and normal recurring operational activity as disclosed above.

Interest expense increased in 2013, as compared with 2012, primarily as a result of higher average debt balances throughout 2013 associated with the financing and acquisition of Goodrich. The effect of higher average debt balances was partially offset by the absence of interest associated with the repayment of approximately $2.9 billion of long-term debt including the 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes, 2019 Goodrich 6.125% Notes, and 2021 Goodrich 3.600% Notes as well as certain floating rate notes which were due in 2013. See the "Liquidity and Financial Condition" section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further discussion on the Goodrich acquisition financing. Interest income increased in 2013, as compared with 2012, as a result of favorable pre-tax interest adjustments related to the settlement of outstanding tax matters.
Interest expense increased in 2012, as compared with 2011, primarily as a result of higher average debt balances in 2012 associated with the financing of our acquisition of Goodrich. Financing for the Goodrich acquisition included a total of $9.8 billion of long-term debt, $1.1 billion of equity units which bear contract adjustment payments at a rate of 5.95% per year, and $3.2 billion from the issuance of commercial paper. We also entered into a term loan credit agreement for $2 billion and borrowed the full amount available under this facility. In connection with the acquisition of Goodrich, we assumed long-term debt of approximately $3.0 billion, which bears interest at rates ranging from 3.6% to 7.1%. Subsequent to the acquisition in 2012, we repaid approximately $635 million of principal ($761 million fair value) of the assumed Goodrich debt, the entire $2.0 billion term loan, and nearly all of the commercial paper issued to finance the acquisition.
The increase in the weighted-average interest rates for short-term borrowings was due to the mix of our borrowings with a greater percentage of short-term borrowings at lower interest rates in 2012 than the percentage of short-term borrowings in 2013. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had commercial paper borrowings outstanding of $200 million and $320 million, respectively. The three month LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was 0.2%, 0.3% and 0.6%, respectively.

The effective income tax rates for 2013, 2012, and 2011 reflect tax benefits associated with lower tax rates on international earnings, which we intend to permanently reinvest outside the United States. We estimate our full year annual effective income tax rate in 2014 will be approximately 30%, absent one-time adjustments. We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter to quarter in 2014.

To help mitigate the volatility of foreign currency exchange rates on our operating results, we maintain foreign currency hedging programs, the majority of which are entered into by Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC). In 2013, foreign currency, including hedging at P&WC, did not result in any impact on earnings per diluted share. In 2012, foreign currency generated a net adverse impact on our operational results of $0.17 per diluted share, while in 2011 foreign currency had a favorable impact of $0.11 per diluted share. For additional discussion of foreign currency exposure, see "Market Risk and Risk Management—Foreign Currency Exposures."

Diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations for 2013 largely reflects the results of operations of $63 million up to the point of disposal. Diluted earnings per share from discontinued operations for 2012 includes $0.82 per share of goodwill and net asset impairment charges related to Rocketdyne, Clipper and UTC Power, and $1.01 per share gain on the disposition of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses. A $0.16 per share benefit from the results of operations of discontinued entities was partially offset by the $0.07 per share Clipper warranty charge.

Restructuring actions are an essential component of our operating margin improvement efforts and relate to both existing operations and those recently acquired. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs in 2014 of approximately $300 million, including trailing costs related to prior actions associated with our continuing cost reduction efforts and the integration of acquisitions. The expected adverse impact on earnings in 2014 from anticipated additional restructuring costs is expected to be offset by the beneficial impact from gains and other items that are outside the normal operating activities of the business. Although no specific plans for significant actions have been finalized at this time, we continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions. As described below, the 2013 charges relate primarily to actions initiated during 2013 and 2012, while the 2012 charges relate primarily to actions initiated during 2012 and 2011.
2013 Actions. During 2013, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $421 million relating to ongoing cost reduction actions initiated in 2013. The charges include severance related to workforce reductions and asset write-downs and facility exit and lease termination costs related to the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations.
We are targeting to complete in 2014 the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2013. Approximately 75% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During 2013, we had cash outflows of approximately $174 million related to the 2013 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring and other charges of $59 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $440 million annually, of which, approximately $119 million was realized in 2013.
2012 Actions. During 2013 and 2012, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring charges of $60 million and $576 million, respectively, for actions initiated in 2012. The 2012 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including severance related to workforce reductions and asset write-downs and facility exit and lease termination costs related to the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations.
We are targeting to complete in 2014 the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions initiated in 2012. Approximately 85% of the total pre-tax charge will require cash payments, which we have and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During 2013, we had cash outflows of approximately $252 million related to the 2012 actions. We expect to incur additional restructuring charges of $25 million to complete these actions. We expect recurring pre-tax savings to increase over the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions to approximately $550 million annually.
For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Commercial Businesses
The financial performance of our commercial businesses can be influenced by a number of external factors including fluctuations in residential and commercial construction activity, regulatory changes, interest rates, labor costs, foreign currency exchange rates, customer attrition, raw material and energy costs, credit markets and other global and political factors. UTC Climate, Controls & Security's financial performance can also be influenced by production and utilization of transport equipment, and for its residential business, weather conditions. Geographic and industry diversity across the commercial businesses help to balance the impact of such factors on our consolidated operating results, particularly in the face of uneven economic growth. Worldwide economic conditions remained generally favorable for Otis with strong new equipment order growth rates in China (25%) and the Americas (16%) throughout 2013, partially offset by lower rates of new equipment order growth in Europe (4%) and declines in other areas in Asia (6%). Within the UTC Climate, Controls & Security segment, North American residential heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) orders increased (15%), due largely to an improving housing market, while global commercial HVAC orders increased (1%).
In both 2013 and 2012, 70% of total commercial business sales were generated outside the U.S., including U.S. export sales. The following table shows sales generated outside the U.S., including U.S. export sales, for each of the commercial business segments:

2013 Compared with 2012
Organic sales increased 3% in 2013 due to higher new equipment sales (3%) primarily in China, the U.S. and Russia partially offset by declines in South Korea. Service sales increases in Asia, Brazil and the U.S. were partially offset by declines in southern Europe.
The operational profit declined slightly for the year (1%) due principally to lower service contribution (2%) resulting from continued pricing pressures. New equipment contribution increased 2% due to higher new equipment volume and the impact of lower commodity costs, partially offset by costs associated with the factory consolidation in North America. Overhead expenses increased 1% due to continued growth in emerging markets.
2012 Compared with 2011
There was no organic sales growth in 2012 as higher service sales were offset by lower new equipment sales. Higher service sales in Asia and the Americas (2%) were offset by declines in Europe (1%). Lower new equipment volume (1%) primarily in China and Europe was partially offset by a slight increase in the Americas and Russia.
The operational profit decline for the year (3%) was due to lower new equipment contribution driven by lower volume and pricing pressures (4%), lower service contribution (1%) resulting from continued pricing pressure primarily in Europe, and the impact of higher commodity costs (1%). Partially offsetting these factors were benefits derived from ongoing cost reduction initiatives (3%).

2013 Compared with 2012
The organic sales increase (1%) for the year primarily reflects growth in the Americas (1%), driven by the U.S. residential HVAC business, and the transport refrigeration business (1%), partially offset by declines in Europe (1%) as a result of weak end markets. The decrease in "Acquisitions and divestitures, net" sales (3%) reflects the year-over-year impact of divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months associated with UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation.
The 9% operational profit increase was driven largely by the benefits of restructuring actions and cost productivity (combined 4%), volume growth (3%), and favorable commodity costs (2%). The 4% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects an approximately $102 million net year-over-year impact from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation. Portfolio transformation activity in 2013 resulted in a net gain of approximately $55 million, including gains from the sale of businesses in Hong Kong and Australia, as compared to a net gain of $157 million in 2012.
2012 Compared with 2011
There was no organic sales growth during 2012 as lower volumes in the transport refrigeration business (1%) were offset by growth in the Americas (1%) attributable to the residential and commercial HVAC businesses. The decrease in "Acquisitions and divestitures, net" (7%) reflects the year-over-year impact of divestitures completed in the preceding twelve months associated with UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation.
The 10% operational profit increase was driven largely by the benefits of net cost productivity and restructuring actions (combined 3%) including savings from the consolidation of legacy Carrier and UTC Fire & Security, favorable commodity costs (2%), and higher equity income from joint venture partners (2%). Also, operational profit included the benefit of a special cash dividend (1%) received from an interest in a distribution partner. The 3% increase in "Other" primarily reflects an approximately $46 million net year-over-year gain from UTC Climate, Controls & Security's portfolio transformation and the absence of a $66 million other-than-temporary impairment charge recorded on an Asian equity investment in the prior year. This was partially offset by the absence of an approximately $25 million favorable litigation resolution and gain on the disposition of the U.K. Security business, both recorded in 2011. The year-over-year net portfolio transformation gain primarily includes approximately $120 million from the sale of a controlling interest in a Canadian distribution business, including a $24 million pension settlement charge, combined with an approximately $215 million net gain from the sale of a controlling interest in a manufacturing and distribution joint venture in Asia. These gains were partially offset by a $32 million loss on the disposition of the U.S. Fire & Security branch operations, $142 million of impairment charges recorded in 2012 related to ongoing business dispositions, and the absence of an approximately $80 million prior year gain resulting primarily from the contribution of legacy Carrier's HVAC operations in Brazil, Argentina and Chile into a new venture controlled by Midea Group of China.
Aerospace Businesses
The financial performance of Pratt & Whitney, UTC Aerospace Systems and Sikorsky is directly tied to the economic conditions of the commercial aerospace and defense aerospace industries. In particular, Pratt & Whitney experiences intense competition for new commercial airframe/engine combinations. Engine suppliers may offer substantial discounts and other financial incentives, performance and operating cost guarantees, and participate in financing arrangements which may result in

11




losses on the OEM engine sales. Economically, such up-front losses are typically recovered through the sales and profits generated over the engine's maintenance cycle. At times, the aerospace businesses also enter into development programs and firm fixed-price development contracts, which may require the company to bear cost overruns related to unforeseen technical and design challenges that arise during the development stage of the program. Customer selections of engines and components can also have a significant impact on later sales of parts and service. Predicted traffic levels, load factors, worldwide airline profits, general economic activity and global defense spending have been reliable indicators for new aircraft and aftermarket orders within the aerospace industry. Spare part sales and aftermarket service trends are affected by many factors, including usage, technological improvements, pricing, regulatory changes and the retirement of older aircraft. Performance in the general aviation sector is closely tied to the overall health of the economy and is positively correlated to corporate profits.
Our long-term aerospace contracts are subject to strict safety and performance regulations which can affect our ability to estimate costs precisely. Contract cost estimation for the development of complex projects, in particular, requires management to make significant judgments and assumptions regarding the complexity of the work to be performed, availability of materials, the performance by subcontractors, the timing of funding from customers and the length of time to complete the contract. As a result, we review and update our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis, and no less frequently than annually for all others, and when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. Changes in estimates relate to the current period impact of revisions to total estimated contract sales and costs at completion. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method in accordance with the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). Net operating profits included significant changes in aerospace contract estimates of $167 million in 2013 driven by several favorable contract adjustments recorded throughout the year largely at the Pratt & Whitney segment. The impact of these adjustments was not considered significant to either the sales or operating profits of the segment in the quarter in which they were recorded other than the impact of a contract termination which was disclosed in the Pratt & Whitney segment results in the first quarter of 2013. The net change in contract estimates also includes the $27 million adverse impact of a revision in estimate on the Sikorsky CH-148 contract discussed further below. In accordance with our revenue recognition policy, losses, if any, on long-term contracts are provided for when anticipated. Loss provisions on OEM contracts are recognized to the extent that estimated inventoriable manufacturing, engineering, product warranty and product performance guarantee costs, as appropriate, exceed the projected revenue from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement.
The commercial airline industry remained strong throughout 2013. Airline traffic growth rates, as measured by revenue passenger miles (RPMs) grew approximately 5% in 2013, as compared with 2012. Airlines' profitability has continued to grow and airlines are forecasted by third party analysts to earn $16.4 billion in 2014. Nevertheless, high fuel prices continue to challenge the airlines to consider the need for more fuel efficient aircraft. Pratt & Whitney continues to develop five separate geared turbofan platforms and has begun to build capacity to meet demand for new engines which are fuel efficient and have reduced noise levels and exhaust emissions. There is also strong demand for commercial helicopters, particularly from deep-water oil and gas exploration around the world.
U.S. Government deficit reduction measures continue to pressure the U.S. Department of Defense spending and adversely affect our military business. Total sales to the U.S. Government of $9.9 billion in 2013, $10.1 billion in 2012, and $9.1 billion in 2011 were 16%, 18% and 16% of total UTC sales in 2013, 2012, and 2011, respectively. The defense portion of our aerospace business is affected by changes in market demand and the global political environment. Our participation in long-term production and development programs for the U.S. Government has contributed positively to our results in 2013 and is expected to continue to benefit results in 2014. In July 2012, the U.S. Government and Sikorsky signed a five-year multiservice contract ("Multi-year 8") for approximately 650 H-60 helicopters. Actual production quantities will be determined year-by-year over the life of the program based on funding allocations set by Congressional and Pentagon acquisition priorities.
As previously reported, Sikorsky is developing the CH-148 derivative of the H-92 helicopter (the "Cyclone"), a military variant of the S-92 helicopter, for the Canadian Government. The Cyclone is being developed under a fixed-price contract that provides for the development and production of 28 helicopters (the "Acquisition Contract"), and a related In Service Support contract (the "ISS Contract") through March 2028 (collectively, the "Arrangements"). The current contract values of the Arrangements are estimated to be $4.2 billion and are subject to changes in underlying variables such as the timing of deliveries, future flight hours and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.
In 2011, Sikorsky completed a significant contractual milestone for work on four interim configuration helicopters and recognized the revenues and related costs. Although the Arrangements were expected to be profitable on a combined basis in 2011, $56 million of losses were recorded upon completing the milestones for the four aircraft as the actual costs exceeded revenues. Sikorsky and the Canadian Government are currently using these aircraft for initial operational training and evaluation in Canada. These interim configuration aircraft will require further software and hardware upgrades before full mission capability can be achieved.

Delivery of the final configuration aircraft, which was scheduled to begin in 2012, did not occur due to a number of disputes between the Canadian Government and Sikorsky related to contractual requirements and contract performance. As a result of these matters, Sikorsky recorded a loss provision of $157 million during the fourth quarter of 2012 as the estimated profits on the ISS Contract no longer exceeded the estimated remaining losses on the Acquisition Contract. The profit erosion was driven by an increase in total expected costs to be incurred primarily as a result of the delays in delivering the final configuration aircraft resulting in a claim for liquidated damages, and a reduction of expected flight hour revenues on the ISS Contract.
During 2013, Sikorsky made substantial progress in the manufacturing process for the remaining 24 aircraft. However, due to ongoing contractual disputes with the Canadian Government, no revenue was recorded for these aircraft in 2013, and an incremental $27 million charge was recorded in the quarter ended December 31, 2013 due to program delays and related production cost increases. Since the Acquisition Contract's costs exceed its revenues on a stand-alone basis, we expect to record an approximately $14 million loss upon achievement of the contractual milestone for each aircraft in the future.
In December 2013, Sikorsky and the Canadian Government signed a Principles of Agreement that establishes a framework to restructure the contracts while providing a new governance and project structure. That agreement serves as the basis for ongoing formal contract negotiations and requires the parties to enter into a yet-to-be negotiated contractual amendment no later than March 31, 2014. Our financial plan for 2014 anticipates revenue recognition of eight interim configuration helicopters during the course of the year.
While Sikorsky is committed to the program, the unresolved contract restructuring, coupled with the remaining development issues and long-term nature of this program, provide substantial uncertainty and risk in regards to the Acquisition Contract costs. While the loss provisions recorded to date reflect management's best estimate of the projected costs to complete the development and manufacture of the final configuration aircraft, there is still significant effort required to complete the development of the mission system capability as well as the manufacturing, testing and retrofit activities. Future variability in internal cost targets related to the aircraft may be caused by increases in holding costs, retrofit estimates, and subcontractor performance. With respect to the multi-year ISS Contract, the future profitability is dependent upon a number of factors including aircraft deliveries, aircraft flight hours, deployed aircraft availability, aircraft performance, availability of trained pilots and government budgetary pressures. The inability to achieve a satisfactory contractual solution, further unplanned delays, additional developmental cost growth or variations in any of the estimates used in the existing contract analysis could lead to further loss provisions on the Arrangements. Additional losses could have a material adverse impact on the consolidated results of operations in the period in which the loss may be recognized.
Effective July 1, 2012, the auxiliary power unit business (APU) of the UTC Aerospace Systems business segment was transferred to the Pratt & Whitney business segment. The APU business designs and manufactures a variety of products for commercial and military aircraft. Annual sales for the APU business are approximately $600 million. The reclassification has been made prospectively; prior year results have not been restated for the transfer of the business.

Pratt & Whitney is among the world's leading suppliers of aircraft engines for the commercial, military, business jet and general aviation markets. Pratt & Whitney provides maintenance, repair and overhaul services, including the sale of spare parts, as well as fleet management services for large commercial engines. Pratt & Whitney produces families of engines for wide and narrow-body and large regional aircraft in the commercial market and for fighter and transport aircraft in the military market. P&WC is a world leader in the production of engines powering general and business aviation, as well as regional airline, utility and military airplanes and helicopters, and provides related maintenance, repair and overhaul services, including the sale of spare parts, as well as fleet management services. Pratt & Whitney's products are sold principally to aircraft manufacturers, airlines and other aircraft operators, aircraft leasing companies, and the U.S. and foreign governments. Pratt & Whitney's products and services must adhere to strict regulatory and market-driven safety and performance standards. The frequently changing nature of these standards, along with the long duration of aircraft engine development, production and support programs, creates uncertainty regarding engine program profitability. The vast majority of sales are made directly to the end customer and, to a limited extent, through independent distributors and foreign sales representatives.
Pratt & Whitney is currently developing technology, including the PurePower PW1000G Geared TurboFan engine, intended to enable it to power both currently-proposed and future aircraft. The PurePower PW1000G engine targets a significant reduction in fuel burn and noise levels with lower environmental emissions and operating costs than current production engines. In December 2010, Airbus announced that it will offer a version of the PurePower PW1000G engine as a new engine option to power its A320neo family of aircraft scheduled to enter into service in 2015. In November 2012, Pratt & Whitney commenced testing on this new engine, the PW1100G-JM, being developed as part of a collaboration with MTU and JAEC. Additionally, PurePower PW1000G engine models have been selected by Bombardier to power the new CSeries passenger aircraft, by Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation to power the new Mitsubishi Regional Jet, and by Irkut Corporation of

13




Russia to power the proposed new Irkut MC-21 passenger aircraft. The CSeries passenger aircraft engine received its civil aviation certificate from Transport Canada in February 2013, had its first flight in September 2013, and is scheduled to enter into service in 2015. The Mitsubishi Regional Jet and the Irkut MC-21 are both scheduled to enter into service in 2017. Further, on January 8, 2013, Embraer announced the selection of the PurePower engine to exclusively power the next generation of Embraer's E-Jet family of aircraft scheduled to enter service in 2018. The success of these aircraft and the PurePower PW1000G family of engines is dependent upon many factors including technological accomplishments, aircraft demand, and regulatory approval. Based on these factors, as well as the level of success of aircraft program launches by aircraft manufacturers and other conditions, additional investment in the PurePower program may be required. P&WC has developed or is developing the PW210 engine family for helicopters manufactured by Sikorsky, AgustaWestland and Airbus Helicopters and is developing the PurePower PW800 engine for the new generation of long-range and heavy business jets. Pratt & Whitney continues to enhance its programs through performance improvement measures and product base expansion.
In view of the risks and costs associated with developing new engines, Pratt & Whitney has entered into collaboration arrangements in which sales, costs and risks are shared. At December 31, 2013, the interests of third party participants in Pratt & Whitney-directed commercial jet engine programs ranged from 2 percent to 49 percent. In addition, Pratt & Whitney has interests in other engine programs, including a 50 percent ownership interest in the Engine Alliance (EA), a joint venture with GE Aviation, which markets and manufactures the GP7000 engine for the Airbus A380 aircraft. Pratt & Whitney has entered into risk and revenue sharing arrangements with third parties for 40 percent of the products and services that Pratt & Whitney is responsible for providing to the EA. Pratt & Whitney accounts for its interests in the EA joint venture under the equity method of accounting. Pratt & Whitney continues to pursue additional collaboration partners.
On June 29, 2012, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, MTU and JAEC, participants in the IAE collaboration, completed a restructuring of their interests in IAE. Pratt & Whitney now has a 61% net interest in the collaboration and a 49.5% ownership interest in IAE. See the Business Overview section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for further information on the IAE transaction.

As discussed further in the "Business Overview" and "Results of Operations" sections, for Pratt & Whitney only, the transactional impact of foreign exchange hedging at P&WC has been netted against the translational foreign exchange impact for presentation purposes in the above table. For all other segments, these foreign exchange transactional impacts are included within the organic sales/operational operating profit caption in their respective tables. Due to its significance to Pratt & Whitney's overall operating results, we believe it is useful to segregate the foreign exchange transactional impact in order to clearly identify the underlying financial performance.
2013 Compared with 2012
The organic sales increase (2%) was primarily driven by higher commercial engine sales volume (2%), higher military aftermarket and development program sales (2%), higher commercial aftermarket sales (1%), and higher industrial engine sales and related development contracts (1%), partially offset by lower military engine sales volume (4%). Sales increased (2%) as a result of the consolidation of IAE and the transfer of the AeroPower business to Pratt & Whitney from UTC Aerospace Systems, partially offset by the divestiture of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems.

14




The operational profit increase (13%) was driven by favorable commercial aftermarket volume and sales mix (9%), lower research and development spending (6%), favorable military sales mix (3%), profits from industrial turbines and related development contracts (2%), and income from licensing agreements (1%), partially offset by unfavorable commercial engine volume and mix (6%), and the absence of a gain as a result of the effective settlement of a pre-existing contractual dispute in connection with the acquisition of Goodrich in 2012 (3%). Restructuring savings were largely offset by higher pension costs. The increase in "Acquisitions and divestitures, net" (1%) reflects the consolidation of IAE and the transfer of the AeroPower business to Pratt & Whitney from UTC Aerospace Systems, partially offset by the divestiture of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems. "Other" reflects a gain on the sale of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (12%) and a gain on the sale of intellectual property (1%), offset by a fair value adjustment of a joint venture investment (2%), and the absence of gains on the sale of equity interest in a joint venture (2%) and on the consolidation resulting from a restructuring of interests in IAE (1%) in 2012.
2012 Compared with 2011
Organic sales growth (2%) was driven by higher military engine deliveries and aftermarket sales (5%), higher P&WC engine and spares volume (1%), and higher industrial volume at Pratt & Whitney Power Systems (1%), offset by a decrease in commercial aftermarket (6%). Sales increased (9%) as a result of the consolidation of IAE and the transfer of the APU business to Pratt & Whitney from UTC Aerospace Systems.
The operational profit decrease (16%) was primarily driven by lower profit on commercial aftermarket (17%), and higher research and development (8%), partially offset by favorable P&WC engine volume and delivery mix (3%), higher military engine and spares volume (3%) and an increase in contract settlements and close outs (3%). Operating profit increased 6% due to net acquisitions primarily as a result of the consolidation of IAE.
UTC Aerospace Systems—On July 26, 2012, UTC acquired Goodrich, pursuant to a merger agreement dated September 21, 2011. As a result of the acquisition, Goodrich became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UTC. The acquired Goodrich business and the former Hamilton Sundstrand segment have been combined to form the new UTC Aerospace Systems segment. UTC Aerospace Systems is among the world's leading suppliers of technologically advanced aerospace products and aftermarket services for diversified markets worldwide. UTC Aerospace Systems' aerospace products include electric power generation, management and distribution systems, flight control systems, engine control systems, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, engine components, environmental control systems, fire protection and detection systems, propeller systems, aircraft nacelles, and interior, actuation, landing and electronic systems. UTC Aerospace Systems products serve commercial, military, regional, business and general aviation, as well as military ground vehicle, space and undersea applications. Aftermarket services include spare parts, overhaul and repair, engineering and technical support and fleet management solutions. UTC Aerospace Systems sells aerospace products to airframe manufacturers, the U.S. and foreign governments, aircraft operators, maintenance, repair and overhaul providers, and independent distributors.

2013 Compared with 2012
The organic sales growth (4%) primarily reflects an increase in commercial aerospace OEM and commercial aftermarket volume (5%) partially offset by lower military OEM sales volume (1%).

15




The organic increase in operational profit (37%) primarily reflects the absence of amortization of inventory fair-value adjustments (26%) related to the Goodrich acquisition, lower selling, general and administrative expenses (9%) including the impact of synergies from the integration of Goodrich, lower research and development costs (6%), the profit contribution on higher aftermarket sales volume (6%) and higher licensing and royalty income (3%), partially offset by lower profits on OEM sales (15%) primarily attributable to adverse mix in commercial and military markets. "Acquisitions and Divestitures, net" is principally a result of the acquisition of Goodrich.
2012 Compared with 2011
The organic sales growth (7%) reflects higher commercial aerospace OEM (4%), military aerospace OEM (2%), and aftermarket (1%) volume.
The organic increase in operational profit (6%) primarily reflects the benefit of profit contribution on higher sales (11%) and lower warranty costs (5%) partially offset by higher engineering and development (4%) and pension costs (6%). "Acquisitions and divestitures, net" is principally a result of the acquisition of Goodrich.
Sikorsky is one of the world's largest helicopter companies. Sikorsky manufactures military and commercial helicopters and also provides aftermarket helicopter and aircraft parts and services.
Current major production programs at Sikorsky include the UH-60M Black Hawk medium-transport helicopters and HH-60M Medevac helicopters for the U.S. and foreign governments, the S-70 Black Hawk for foreign governments, the MH-60S and MH-60R helicopters for the U.S. Navy, the International Naval Hawk for multiple naval missions, and the S-76 and S-92 helicopters for commercial operations. The UH-60M helicopter is the latest and most modern in a series of Black Hawk variants that Sikorsky has been delivering to the U.S. Army since 1978. In July 2012, the U.S. Government and Sikorsky signed a five-year multi-service contract for approximately 650 H-60 helicopters. Actual production quantities will be determined year-by-year over the life of the program based on funding allocations set by Congress and the U.S. Department of Defense acquisition priorities, as well as the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. Sikorsky is also developing the CH-53K next generation heavy lift helicopter for the U.S. Marine Corps and the CH-148 derivative of the H-92 helicopter, a military variant of the S-92 helicopter, for the Canadian Government. See the Aerospace Business section of Management's Discussion and Analysis above, for further discussion of Sikorsky's contract with the Canadian Government.
Sikorsky's aftermarket business includes spare parts sales, mission equipment, overhaul and repair services, maintenance contracts and logistics support programs for helicopters and other aircraft. Sales are principally made to the U.S. and foreign governments, and commercial helicopter operators. Sikorsky is increasingly engaging in logistics support programs and partnering with its government and commercial customers to manage and provide logistics, maintenance and repair services.

2013 Compared with 2012
The organic sales decrease (8%) reflects decreased international military sales (8%), decreased U.S. Government sales (2%) due to lower volume and unfavorable Multi-year 8 reset provisions, lower volume on customer funded development programs (2%) and decreased aftermarket sales (4%) due to lower military spares activity, partially offset by higher commercial aftermarket volume. These decreases were partially offset by increased commercial aircraft sales (8%) due to increased S-92 and S-76D aircraft sales volume and completion services.
The operational profit decrease (16%) reflects lower profitability from the U.S. Government (19%), aftermarket (5%), and customer funded development programs (4%); lower international military aircraft volume (8%); higher export compliance

16




(5%); other selling, general and administrative costs including pension and salaries (3%); and research and development (1%) costs. The decline in profitability on U.S. Government programs was due to lower aircraft volume, Multi-year 8 pricing reset provisions and aircraft cost performance, while the decline in aftermarket was due to lower military spares volume partially offset by favorable contract performance. These operational profit decreases were partially offset by lower loss provision adjustments for the previously noted CH-148 contract with the Canadian Government (18%) and higher profitability from commercial operations (10%) due to higher S-92 and S-76D aircraft sales and completions volume.
2012 Compared with 2011
The organic sales decrease (8%) reflects reduced aircraft deliveries and completions from foreign military operations (6%) across various programs including four fewer CH-148 aircraft for the Canadian Government, reduced U.S. Government sales (2%) and lower volume from customer funded development programs (2%). These decreases were partially offset by increased commercial aircraft volume (2%) due primarily to increased S-92 sales, which were partially offset by lower S-76 sales as Sikorsky transitions to the new S-76D model.
The operational profit decrease (7%) is a result of lower sales to the U.S. Government (12%), higher engineering and development costs (1%) and lower profits from foreign military operations (8%) due in large part to the previously noted $157 million loss provision for the CH-148 contract with the Canadian Government, partially offset by favorable aircraft mix within the foreign military operations business. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in commercial profits (10%) due primarily to strong S-92 volume and profitability, and increased aftermarket support (5%) due primarily to increased U.S. Government spares sales, favorable contract performance and savings from restructuring initiatives. The 8% decrease in "Other" primarily reflects the absence of a gain recognized on the contribution of a business to a venture in the United Arab Emirates in 2011.

Eliminations and other reflects the elimination of sales, other income and operating profit transacted between segments, as well as the operating results of certain smaller businesses. The change in sales in 2013, as compared with 2012, reflects an increase in the amount of inter-segment sales eliminations due to our acquisition of Goodrich. The change in the operating profit elimination in 2013, as compared with 2012, primarily reflects the benefit of lower acquisitions and divestiture costs of approximately $70 million.

We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal source of liquidity is operating cash flows from continuing operations, which, after netting out capital expenditures, we target to equal or exceed net income attributable to common shareowners from continuing operations. In addition to operating cash flows, other significant factors that affect our overall management of liquidity include: capital expenditures, customer financing requirements, investments in businesses, dividends, common stock repurchases, pension funding, access to the commercial paper markets, adequacy of available bank lines of credit, and the ability to attract long-term capital at satisfactory terms.

The global economic environment has been improving. In the U.S., consumer sentiment and spending continue to improve on strength in the equity and housing markets, partially offset by continued weakness in defense spending. Europe has seen a return to moderate economic growth, while in China, construction starts and property transactions remained strong for 2013. In light of these circumstances, we continue to assess our current business and closely monitor the impact on our customers and suppliers, and have determined that overall there was not a significant adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity during 2013.
Our domestic pension funds experienced a positive return on assets of approximately 11% during 2013.  Approximately 89% of these domestic pension plans are invested in readily-liquid investments, including equity, fixed income, asset-backed receivables and structured products. The balance of these domestic pension plans (11%) is invested in less-liquid but market-valued investments, including real estate and private equity. Across our global pension plans, the absence of prior pension investment losses, impact of a higher discount rate, as well as the positive returns experienced during 2013, are expected to result in decreased pension expense in 2014 of approximately $500 million as compared to 2013.
As discussed further below, despite the levels of debt we issued to finance the Goodrich acquisition, our strong debt ratings and financial position have historically enabled us to issue long-term debt at favorable market rates, including our issuance of $9.8 billion of long-term debt in June 2012. Our ability to obtain debt financing at comparable risk-based interest rates is partly a function of our existing debt-to-total-capitalization level as well as our current credit standing.
The purchase price of Goodrich of $127.50 per share in cash equated to a total enterprise value of $18.3 billion, including $1.9 billion in net debt assumed. To finance the cash consideration for the Goodrich acquisition and pay related fees, expenses and other amounts due and payable as a result of the acquisition, we utilized the net proceeds of approximately $9.6 billion from the $9.8 billion of long-term notes issued on June 1, 2012, the net proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion from the equity units issued on June 18, 2012, $3.2 billion from the issuance of commercial paper during July 2012 and $2.0 billion of proceeds borrowed on July 26, 2012 pursuant to our April 24, 2012 term loan credit agreement, all of which are discussed below. The $2.0 billion borrowed pursuant to our April 24, 2012 term loan credit agreement was repaid in November and December 2012. For the remainder of the cash consideration, we utilized approximately $0.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents generated from operating activities.
To manage the cash flow and liquidity impacts of these actions, we suspended share repurchases in 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011, while resuming in 2013 with approximately $1.2 billion in share repurchases. We expect our acquisition spending for 2014 to approximate $1 billion; however, actual acquisition spending may vary depending on the timing, availability and appropriate value of acquisition opportunities.
On August 23, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2019 Goodrich 6.125% notes, representing $202 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on July 24, 2013. On September 27, 2013, we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2021 Goodrich 3.600% notes, representing $294 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on August 28, 2013. On May 7, 2013, we commenced cash tender offers for two series of outstanding notes issued by Goodrich and the 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes. These offers expired on June 4, 2013. Approximately $874.2 million in aggregate principal amount of these outstanding notes were tendered pursuant to these tender offers, including notes validly tendered prior to an early tender date in May 2013 and thereby eligible for an early tender premium. Total payments under these tender offers were approximately $935 million including principal, premium and interest. On June 24, 2013 we redeemed all remaining outstanding 2015 UTC 1.200% Senior Notes, representing $327 million in aggregate principal, under our redemption notice issued on May 24, 2013. We expect full year 2014 debt repayments to be approximately $1 billion.
Approximately $637 million in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Goodrich notes were tendered under tender offers, the commencement of which were announced December 6, 2012, with $635 million in aggregate principal amount being eligible for an early tender premium. Total payments under these tender offers were approximately $790 million including principal, premium and interest.
In 2012, we approved plans for the divestiture of a number of non-core businesses, which were completed on June 14, 2013 with the sale of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne (Rocketdyne) to GenCorp Inc. for $411 million. On May 17, 2013, we completed the sale of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business to Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) for $432 million, excluding contingent consideration valued at approximately $200 million. On December 13, 2012, we completed the sale of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses to a private limited liability company formed by affiliates of BC Partners and affiliates of The Carlyle Group for $3.4 billion. The tax expense associated with this transaction was approximately $1.2 billion. Cash generated from these divestitures was used to repay debt incurred to finance the Goodrich acquisition.
On June 1, 2012, we issued a total of $9.8 billion of long-term debt, which is comprised of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.200% notes due 2015, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.800% notes due 2017, $2.3 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.100% notes due 2022, $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.500% notes due 2042, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of three-month LIBOR plus 0.270% floating rate notes due 2013, and $0.5 billion aggregate

18




principal amount of three-month LIBOR plus 0.500% floating rate notes due 2015. The three-month LIBOR rate as of December 31, 2013 was approximately 0.2%.
On June 18, 2012, we issued 22,000,000 equity units and received approximately $1.1 billion in net proceeds. Each equity unit has a stated amount of $50 and initially is in the form of a corporate unit consisting of (a) a freestanding stock purchase contract under which the holder will purchase from us on August 1, 2015, a number of shares of our common stock determined pursuant to the terms of the agreement and (b) a 1/20, or 5.0%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount on our 1.55% junior subordinated notes due 2022. Holders of the equity units are entitled to receive quarterly contract adjustment payments at a rate of 5.95% per year of the stated amount of $50 per equity unit, subject to our right to defer such payments.
At December 31, 2013, we had revolving credit agreements with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $4.0 billion pursuant to a $2.0 billion revolving credit agreement and a $2.0 billion multicurrency revolving credit agreement, both of which expire in November 2016. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no borrowings under either of these revolving credit agreements. The undrawn portions of our revolving credit agreements are also available to serve as backup facilities for the issuance of commercial paper. As of December 31, 2013, our maximum commercial paper borrowing authority as set by our Board of Directors was $4 billion. We generally use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock.
We continue to have access to the commercial paper markets and our existing credit facilities, and expect to continue to generate strong operating cash flows. While the impact of market volatility cannot be predicted, we believe we have sufficient operating flexibility, cash reserves and funding sources to maintain adequate amounts of liquidity and to meet our future operating cash needs.
Given our extensive international operations, most of our cash is denominated in foreign currencies. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. The repatriation of cash balances from certain of our subsidiaries could have adverse tax consequences or be subject to capital controls; however, those balances are generally available without legal restrictions to fund ordinary business operations. As discussed in Note 11, with few exceptions, U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of international subsidiaries. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so.
On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions or divestitures or other legal obligations. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $47 million and $35 million, respectively.
We believe our future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs. Further, our ability to obtain debt or equity financing, as well as the availability under committed credit lines, provides additional potential sources of liquidity should they be required or appropriate.

2013 Compared with 2012
The increase in net cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2013 as compared with 2012 was driven by the increase in income from continuing operations primarily attributable to the full year benefit in 2013 of 2012 acquisitions and continued cost reductions, as well as lower global pension contributions. Included in income from continuing operations in 2013 were approximately $248 million of net gains from the sale of the Pratt & Whitney Power Systems business and portfolio transformation activities at UTC Climate, Controls & Security, approximately $95 million of tax benefit as a result of enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 in January 2013, and approximately $83 million of tax and interest benefits from the conclusion of the examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of legacy Goodrich's 2009 and 2010 tax years as well as settlements for our tax years prior to 2006. In 2013, the net increase in working capital required a cash outflow of approximately $200 million, compared to a cash inflow of approximately $100 million in 2012. This decrease of $300 million is attributable to an increase in accounts receivable driven by sales volumes and timing, primarily at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems. Increases in inventories and contracts in progress were largely offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

19




The funded status of our defined benefit pension plans is dependent upon many factors, including returns on invested assets and the level of market interest rates. We can contribute cash or UTC shares to our plans at our discretion, subject to applicable regulations. Total cash contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans were $108 million, $430 million and $551 million during 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. During 2011, we also contributed $450 million in UTC Common Stock to our defined benefit pension plans. As of December 31, 2013, the total investment by the global defined benefit pension plans in our securities was approximately 3% of total plan assets. We expect to make total contributions of approximately $275 million to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2014. Although our domestic defined benefit pension plans are approximately 98% funded on a projected benefit obligation basis as of December 31, 2013, and we are not required to make additional contributions through the end of 2014, we may elect to make discretionary contributions in 2014. Contributions to our global defined benefit pension plans in 2014 are expected to meet or exceed the current funding requirements.
2012 Compared with 2011
The increase in net cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations in 2012 as compared with 2011 was driven primarily by lower working capital cash requirements, and a decrease in global pension contributions of $121 million. Included in income from continuing operations in 2012 were approximately $157 million of net non-cash gains from the portfolio transformation activities at UTC Climate, Controls & Security, an approximately $218 million non-cash tax and interest benefit from the conclusion of the examination by the IRS of our 2006 – 2008 tax years and an approximately $59 million non-cash tax and interest benefit from the resolution of disputes with the Appeals Division of the IRS for our 2004 – 2005 tax years. In 2012, the net decrease in working capital provided positive cash flow of $103 million, including a $157 million loss provision recorded on the CH-148 contract at Sikorsky, compared to a cash outflow of $291 million in 2011. This increase of $394 million was primarily driven by a decrease in accounts receivable due to strong collections, partially offset by an increase in inventories largely associated with anticipated volume changes at Sikorsky and Pratt & Whitney.

2013 Compared with 2012
Cash flows used in investing activities of continuing operations for 2013 primarily reflect the net proceeds of approximately $1.6 billion from business dispositions, offset by capital expenditures of approximately $1.7 billion and payments related to our collaboration intangible assets and contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms of approximately $930 million. Business dispositions include the sale of the legacy Goodrich pumps and engine controls business to Triumph Group, Inc. on March 18, 2013, the sale of the legacy Goodrich electric power systems business to Safran S.A. on March 26, 2013, and the sale of Pratt & Whitney Power Systems to MHI on May 17, 2013.
In October 2011, Pratt & Whitney and Rolls-Royce announced their intention to form a new partnership to develop an engine to power future mid-size aircraft. In September 2013, following further discussion and because of the current regulatory environment, the parties agreed not to proceed with the partnership. In 2013, we made net payments of $420 million under our 2012 agreement to acquire Rolls-Royce's collaboration interest in IAE and the September 2013 agreement not to proceed with the partnership with Rolls-Royce. Capital expenditures in 2013 primarily relate to investments in new programs at Pratt & Whitney, and continuing Goodrich integration activities at UTC Aerospace Systems. Investments in businesses during 2013 were $151 million and included a number of small acquisitions in our commercial and aerospace businesses.
Customer financing activities were a net use of cash of $135 million and $25 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. While we expect that 2014 customer financing activity will be a net use of funds, actual funding is subject to usage under existing customer financing commitments during the year. We may also arrange for third-party investors to assume a portion of our commitments. At December 31, 2013, we had commercial aerospace financing and other contractual commitments of approximately $11.1 billion related to commercial aircraft and certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms, of which as much as $1.1 billion may be required to be disbursed during 2014. As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we have entered into certain collaboration arrangements, which may include participation by our collaborators in these commitments. At December 31, 2013, our collaborators' share of these commitments was approximately $3.1 billion of which as much as $342 million may be required to be disbursed to us during 2014. Refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of our commercial aerospace industry assets and commitments.

2012 Compared with 2011
The increase in cash used in investing activities of continuing operations in 2012 as compared with 2011 was primarily a result of the Goodrich acquisition, which required cash payments, net of cash acquired, of $15.8 billion, as well as payments made to Rolls-Royce, net of cash acquired, to acquire their ownership and collaboration interests in IAE and license its V2500 intellectual property to Pratt & Whitney of approximately $1.7 billion in total, reflected in acquisitions of businesses and as an increase in collaboration intangible assets, respectively. Partially offsetting these increases, concurrent with the closing of the purchase of Rolls-Royce's interests in IAE, Pratt & Whitney entered into a collaboration arrangement with MTU with respect to a portion of the acquired collaboration interest in IAE for consideration of approximately $233 million, with additional payments due to Pratt & Whitney in the future. Investments in businesses during 2012 also included a number of additional small acquisitions in our commercial and aerospace businesses. Capital expenditures increased $460 million primarily at Pratt & Whitney and Otis, reflecting expenditures related to investments in new programs and low-cost manufacturing facilities, as well as at UTC Aerospace Systems due to spending at legacy Goodrich businesses subsequent to acquisition. Customer financing activities were a net use of cash of $25 million in 2012, compared to a net source of cash of $50 million in 2011.

The timing and levels of certain cash flow activities, such as acquisitions and repurchases of our stock, have resulted in the issuance of both long-term and short-term debt. Commercial paper borrowings and revolving credit facilities provide short-term liquidity to supplement operating cash flows and are used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of potential acquisitions and repurchases of our stock. As previously disclosed, in June 2012 we issued approximately $10.9 billion of long-term debt and equity units to finance the Goodrich acquisition, and made repayments of long-term debt of approximately $2.9 billion and $800 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had $200 million and $320 million of commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Financing cash outflows for 2013 included the repurchase of 12.6 million shares of our common stock for approximately $1.2 billion. In connection with the Goodrich acquisition, we suspended share repurchases for 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011. At December 31, 2013, management had authority to repurchase approximately 51.3 million shares under the share repurchase program announced on February 4, 2013. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions and under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may also reacquire shares outside of the program from time to time in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes on vesting of restricted stock. Our share repurchases vary depending upon various factors including the level of our other investing activities.
In 2013, we paid aggregate dividends on common stock of approximately $1.9 billion, consisting of $0.535 per share in the first quarter of 2013 totaling $465 million, $0.535 per share in the second quarter of 2013 totaling $465 million, $0.535 per share in the third quarter of 2013 totaling $465 million, and $0.59 per share in the fourth quarter of 2013 totaling $512 million. During 2012, an aggregate $1.8 billion of cash dividends were paid to common stock shareowners.
We have an existing universal shelf registration statement filed with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of securities to be issued under this shelf registration statement.
2012 Compared with 2011
In June 2012, we issued $9.8 billion of long-term debt and $1.1 billion of equity units, and in July 2012, we borrowed $2.0 billion from our term loan credit agreement and issued $3.2 billion of commercial paper primarily to partially finance the Goodrich acquisition and pay related fees, expenses and other amounts due and payable by UTC as a result of the acquisition. We had $320 million and $455 million of commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
In connection with the Goodrich acquisition, we suspended share repurchases for 2012 and the fourth quarter of 2011. Financing cash outflows for 2011 included the repurchase of 26.9 million shares of our common stock for approximately $2.2 billion under the previously announced share repurchase program.
In 2012, we paid aggregate dividends on common stock of approximately $1.8 billion. During 2011, an aggregate $1.6 billion of cash dividends were paid to common stock shareowners.

2013 Compared with 2012
Cash flows used in discontinued operations in 2013 primarily relate to the completed divestitures of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses in December 2012 and Rocketdyne on June 14, 2013. Tax payments related to discontinued operations were approximately $640 million in 2013, primarily related to transactions concluded in 2012 and reported in discontinued operations. We do not expect remaining net tax payments related to these discontinued operations to be significant. Net cash flows used in discontinued operations for 2013 includes positive cash flows of approximately $400 million related to the sale of Rocketdyne, and cash flows from the operating activities of Rocketdyne, and of UTC Power through its date of disposition of February 12, 2013, as well as payments made in settlement of liabilities, transaction costs, and interim funding of UTC Power and of Clipper, which was divested in 2012.
2012 Compared with 2011
Cash flows provided by discontinued operations primarily relate to the completed divestitures of two businesses. As discussed above, on December 13, 2012 we completed the sale of the legacy Hamilton Sundstrand Industrial businesses for $3.4 billion. Also, on August 7, 2012, we completed the disposition of Clipper to a private equity acquirer. The disposition resulted in payments totaling approximately $367 million, which included capitalization of the business prior to sale, transaction fees, and funding of operations as the acquirer took control of a business with significant net liabilities.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Preparation of our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the significant accounting policies used in preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the most complex and sensitive judgments, because of their significance to the Consolidated Financial Statements, result primarily from the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. The most significant areas involving management judgments and estimates are described below. Actual results in these areas could differ from management's estimates.
Long-Term Contract Accounting. We utilize percentage-of-completion accounting on certain of our long-term contracts. The percentage-of-completion method requires estimates of future revenues and costs over the full term of product and/or service delivery. We also utilize the completed-contract method of accounting on certain lesser value commercial contracts. Under the completed-contract method, sales and cost of sales are recognized when a contract is completed.
Losses, if any, on long-term contracts are provided for when anticipated. We recognize loss provisions on original equipment contracts to the extent that estimated inventoriable manufacturing, engineering, product warranty and product performance guarantee costs, as appropriate, exceed the projected revenue from the products contemplated under the contractual arrangement. For new commitments, we generally record loss provisions at the earlier of contract announcement or contract signing except for certain requirements contracts under which losses are recorded based upon receipt of the purchase order which obligates us to perform. For existing commitments, anticipated losses on contracts are recognized in the period in which losses become evident. Products contemplated under the contractual arrangement include products purchased under the contract and, in the large commercial engine and wheels and brakes businesses, future highly probable sales of replacement parts required by regulation that are expected to be purchased subsequently for incorporation into the original equipment. Revenue projections used in determining contract loss provisions are based upon estimates of the quantity, pricing and timing of future product deliveries. We measure the extent of progress toward completion on our long-term commercial aerospace equipment and helicopter production type contracts using units-of-delivery. In addition, we use the cost-to-cost method for elevator and escalator sales, installation and modernization contracts in the commercial businesses and certain aerospace development contracts. For long-term aftermarket contracts, we recognize revenue over the contract period in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services under the contract. Contract accounting also requires estimates of future costs over the performance period of the contract as well as an estimate of award fees and other sources of revenue.

22




Contract costs are incurred over a period of time, which can be several years, and the estimation of these costs requires management's judgment. The long-term nature of these contracts, the complexity of the products, and the strict safety and performance standards under which they are regulated can affect our ability to estimate costs precisely. As a result, we review and update our cost estimates on significant contracts on a quarterly basis, and no less frequently than annually for all others, and when circumstances change and warrant a modification to a previous estimate. We record changes in contract estimates using the cumulative catch-up method in accordance with the Revenue Recognition Topic of the FASB ASC.
Income Taxes. The future tax benefit arising from net deductible temporary differences and tax carryforwards was $3.2 billion at both December 31, 2013 and 2012. Management believes that our earnings during the periods when the temporary differences become deductible will be sufficient to realize the related future income tax benefits. For those jurisdictions where the expiration date of tax carryforwards or the projected operating results indicate that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is provided.
In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. Valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets can be affected by changes to tax laws, changes to statutory tax rates and future taxable income levels. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through an increase to tax expense in the period in which that determination is made or when tax law changes are enacted. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a decrease to tax expense in the period in which that determination is made.
In the ordinary course of business there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management's evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. For those tax positions where it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where it is not more likely than not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the financial statements. See Notes 1 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets. Our investments in businesses in 2013 totaled $151 million. The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Intangible assets consist of service portfolios, patents, trademarks/tradenames, customer relationships and other intangible assets including a collaboration asset established in connection with the restructuring of IAE as discussed above and in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Also included within other intangible assets are commercial aerospace participation payments made to secure certain contractual rights to provide product on new aircraft platforms. Payments made on these contractual commitments are amortized as a reduction of sales. We amortize these intangible assets based on the pattern of economic benefit, which may result in an amortization method other than straight-line. In the aerospace industry, amortization based on the pattern of economic benefit generally results in lower amortization expense during the development period with increasing amortization expense as programs enter full production and aftermarket cycles. If a pattern of economic benefit cannot be reliably determined, a straight-line amortization method is used. The gross value of these contractual commitments at December 31, 2013 was approximately $3.5 billion, of which approximately $1.1 billion has been paid to date. We record these payments as intangible assets when such payments are no longer conditional. The recoverability of these intangibles is dependent upon the future success and profitability of the underlying aircraft platforms including the associated aftermarket revenue streams.
Goodwill and intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment testing using the guidance and criteria described in the "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other" Topic of the FASB ASC. This testing compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying values of these assets are reduced to fair value. In developing our estimates for the fair value of our reporting units, significant judgment is required in the determination of the appropriateness of using a qualitative assessment or quantitative assessment. When quantitative assessments are required or elected to be performed, fair value is primarily based on income approaches using discounted cash flow models which have significant assumptions. Such assumptions are subject to variability from year to year and are directly impacted by global market conditions. We completed our annual impairment testing as of July 1, 2013 and determined that no significant adjustments to the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets were necessary based on the results of the impairment tests. Although these assets are not currently impaired, there can be no assurance that future impairments will not occur. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Contingent Liabilities. Our operating units include businesses which sell products and services and conduct operations throughout the world. As described in Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, contractual, regulatory and other

23




matters in the normal course of business may arise that subject us to claims or litigation. Additionally, we have significant contracts with the U.S. Government, subject to government oversight and audit, which may require significant adjustment of contract prices. We accrue for liabilities associated with these matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of then currently available facts with respect to each matter. When no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. The inherent uncertainty related to the outcome of these matters can result in amounts materially different from any provisions made with respect to their resolution.
Employee Benefit Plans. We sponsor domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Major assumptions used in the accounting for these employee benefit plans include the discount rate, expected return on plan assets, rate of increase in employee compensation levels, and health care cost increase projections. Assumptions are determined based on company data and appropriate market indicators, and are evaluated each year at December 31. A change in any of these assumptions would have an effect on net periodic pension and postretirement benefit costs reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In the following table, we show the sensitivity of our pension and other postretirement benefit plan liabilities and net annual periodic cost to a 25 basis point change in the discount rate as of December 31, 2013:

Pension expense is also sensitive to changes in the expected long-term rate of asset return. An increase or decrease of 25 basis points in the expected long-term rate of asset return would have decreased or increased 2013 pension expense by approximately $71 million.
The weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities and costs is set by reference to UTC specific analysis using each plan's specific cash flows and is then compared to high-quality bond indices for reasonableness. Global market interest rates have increased in 2013 as compared with 2012 and, as a result, the weighted-average discount rate used to measure pension liabilities increased from 4.0% in 2012 to 4.7% in 2013. In December 2009, we amended the salaried retirement plans (qualified and non-qualified) to change the retirement formula effective January 1, 2015. At that time, final average earnings (FAE) and credited service will stop under the formula applicable for hires before July 1, 2002. Employees hired after 2009 are not eligible for any defined benefit pension plan and will instead receive an enhanced benefit under the UTC Savings Plan. As of July 26, 2012 the same amendment was applied to legacy Goodrich salaried employees. The absence of prior pension investment losses, impact of a higher discount rate, as well as the positive returns experienced during 2013, are expected to decrease pension expense in 2014 by approximately $500 million as compared to 2013. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
We extend a variety of financial guarantees to third parties in support of unconsolidated affiliates and for potential financing requirements of commercial aerospace customers. We also have obligations arising from sales of certain businesses and assets, including indemnities for representations and warranties and environmental, health and safety, tax and employment matters. Circumstances that could cause the contingent obligations and liabilities arising from these arrangements to come to fruition include changes in an underlying transaction (e.g., hazardous waste discoveries, etc.), nonperformance under a contract, customer requests for financing, or deterioration in the financial condition of the guaranteed party.

Purchase obligations include amounts committed under legally enforceable contracts or purchase orders for goods and services with defined terms as to price, quantity, delivery and termination liability. Approximately 23% of the purchase obligations disclosed above represent purchase orders for products to be delivered under firm contracts with the U.S. Government for which we have full recourse under customary contract termination clauses.
Other long-term liabilities primarily include those amounts on our December 31, 2013 balance sheet representing obligations under product service and warranty policies, performance and operating cost guarantees, estimated environmental remediation costs and expected contributions under employee benefit programs. The timing of expected cash flows associated with these obligations is based upon management's estimates over the terms of these agreements and is largely based upon historical experience.
In connection with the acquisition of Goodrich in 2012, we identified customer contractual obligations on certain OEM development programs where the expected costs exceed the expected revenue under contract. We measured these liabilities under the measurement provisions of the "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" Topic of the FASB ASC, which is based on the price to transfer the obligation to a market participant at the measurement date, assuming that the liability will remain outstanding in the marketplace. Based on the estimated net cash outflows of the OEM developmental programs plus a reasonable contracting profit margin required to transfer the contracts to market participants, we recorded assumed liabilities of approximately $2.2 billion. These liabilities are being liquidated in accordance with the underlying economic pattern of obligations, as reflected by the net cash outflows incurred on the OEM contracts. Total consumption of the contractual obligations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was approximately $278 million. Total consumption of the contractual obligations is expected to be as follows: $261 million in 2014, $220 million in 2015, $239 million in 2016, $242 million in 2017, $210 million in 2018 and $686 million thereafter. These amounts are not included in the table above.
The above table also does not reflect unrecognized tax benefits of $1,223 million, the timing of which is uncertain, except for approximately $133 million that may become payable during 2014. Refer to Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on unrecognized tax benefits.

In exchange for the increased ownership and collaboration interests and intellectual property license, Pratt & Whitney paid Rolls-Royce $1.5 billion at closing with additional payments due to Rolls-Royce contingent upon each hour flown by the V2500-powered aircraft in service as of June 29, 2012 during the fifteen year period following closing of the purchase. These payments are being capitalized as a collaboration intangible asset and amortized in relation to the economic benefits received

over the projected remaining thirty year life of the V2500 program. The estimated flight hour payments are included in Other commercial aerospace commitments in the table above.
Refer to Notes 1, 5 and 16 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion on contractual and commercial commitments.
MARKET RISK AND RISK MANAGEMENT
We are exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. To manage certain of those exposures, we use derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options. Derivative instruments utilized by us in our hedging activities are viewed as risk management tools, involve little complexity and are not used for trading or speculative purposes. We diversify the counterparties used and monitor the concentration of risk to limit our counterparty exposure.
We have evaluated our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices in our market risk sensitive instruments, which are primarily cash, debt and derivative instruments, using a value at risk analysis. Based on a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period, at December 31, 2013, the potential loss in fair value on our market risk sensitive instruments was not material in relation to our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our calculated value at risk exposure represents an estimate of reasonably possible net losses based on volatilities and correlations and is not necessarily indicative of actual results. Refer to Notes 1, 9 and 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion of foreign currency exchange, interest rates and financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Exposures. We have a large volume of foreign currency exposures that result from our international sales, purchases, investments, borrowings and other international transactions. International segment sales, including U.S. export sales, averaged approximately $36 billion over the last three years. We actively manage foreign currency exposures that are associated with committed foreign currency purchases and sales, and other assets and liabilities created in the normal course of business at the operating unit level. More than insignificant exposures that cannot be naturally offset within an operating unit are hedged with foreign currency derivatives. We also have a significant amount of foreign currency net asset exposures. Currently, we do not hold any derivative contracts that hedge our foreign currency net asset exposures but may consider such strategies in the future.
Within aerospace, our sales are typically denominated in U.S. Dollars under accepted industry convention. However, for our non-U.S. based entities, such as P&WC, a substantial portion of their costs are incurred in local currencies. Consequently, there is a foreign currency exchange impact and risk to operational results as U.S. Dollars must be converted to local currencies such as the Canadian Dollar in order to meet local currency cost obligations. In order to minimize the exposure that exists from changes in the exchange rate of the U.S. Dollar against these other currencies, we hedge a certain portion of sales to secure the rates at which U.S. Dollars will be converted. The majority of this hedging activity occurs at P&WC. At P&WC, firm and forecasted sales for both engines and spare parts are hedged at varying amounts up to 24 months on the U.S. Dollar sales exposure as represented by the excess of U.S. Dollar sales over U.S. Dollar denominated purchases. Hedging gains and losses resulting from movements in foreign currency exchange rates are partially offset by the foreign currency translation impacts that are generated on the translation of local currency operating results into U.S. Dollars for reporting purposes. While the objective of the hedging program is to minimize the foreign currency exchange impact on operating results, there are typically variances between the hedging gains or losses and the translational impact due to the length of hedging contracts, changes in the sales profile, volatility in the exchange rates and other such operational considerations.
Interest Rate Exposures. Our long-term debt portfolio consists mostly of fixed-rate instruments. From time to time, we may hedge to floating rates using interest rate swaps. The hedges are designated as fair value hedges and the gains and losses on the swaps are reported in interest expense, reflecting that portion of interest expense at a variable rate. We issue commercial paper, which exposes us to changes in interest rates. Currently, we do not hold any derivative contracts that hedge our interest exposures, but may consider such strategies in the future.
Commodity Price Exposures. We are exposed to volatility in the prices of raw materials used in some of our products and from time to time we may use forward contracts in limited circumstances to manage some of those exposures. In the future, if hedges are used, gains and losses may affect earnings. There were no significant outstanding commodity hedges as of December 31, 2013.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Our operations are subject to environmental regulation by federal, state and local authorities in the United States and regulatory authorities with jurisdiction over our foreign operations. As a result, we have established, and continually update, policies relating to environmental standards of performance for our operations worldwide. We believe that expenditures necessary to comply with the present regulations governing environmental protection will not have a material effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
We have identified 710 locations, mostly in the United States, at which we may have some liability for remediating contamination. We have resolved our liability at 322 of these locations. We do not believe that any individual location's exposure will have a material effect on our results of operations. Sites in the investigation, remediation or operation and maintenance stage represent approximately 94% of our accrued environmental remediation reserve.
We have been identified as a potentially responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA or Superfund) at 124 sites. The number of Superfund sites, in and of itself, does not represent a relevant measure of liability because the nature and extent of environmental concerns vary from site to site and our share of responsibility varies from sole responsibility to very little responsibility. In estimating our liability for remediation, we consider our likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation expense and the ability of other potentially responsible parties to fulfill their obligations.
At December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had $936 million and $847 million reserved for environmental remediation, respectively. Cash outflows for environmental remediation were $40 million in 2013, $35 million in 2012 and $54 million in 2011. We estimate that ongoing environmental remediation expenditures in each of the next two years will not exceed approximately $87 million.
GOVERNMENT MATTERS
As described in "Critical Accounting Estimates—Contingent Liabilities," our contracts with the U.S. Government are subject to audits. Such audits may recommend that certain contract prices should be reduced to comply with various government regulations. We are also the subject of one or more investigations and legal proceedings initiated by the U.S. Government with respect to government contract matters. See "Legal Proceedings" in Item 1 to this Form 10-K and Note 11 "Income Taxes" and Note 17 "Commitments & Contingencies" of our Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these and other government matters.

the effect of changes in tax, environmental and other laws and regulations or political conditions in the United States and other countries in which we operate.
In addition, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2013 includes important information as to risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. See the "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" under the heading "Note 17: Contingent Liabilities," the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the headings "Business Overview," "Results of Operations," "Liquidity and Financial Condition," and "Critical Accounting Estimates," and the section titled "Risk Factors." Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2013 also includes important information as to these factors in the "Business" section under the headings "General," "Description of Business by Segment" and "Other Matters Relating to Our Business as a Whole," and in the "Legal Proceedings" section. Additional important information as to these factors is included in this 2013 Annual Report in the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the headings "Restructuring Costs," "Environmental Matters" and "Governmental Matters." The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
 
The management of UTC is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Management has assessed the effectiveness of UTC's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013. In making its assessment, management has utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in its Internal Control—Integrated Framework, released in 1992. Management concluded that based on its assessment, UTC's internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2013. The effectiveness of UTC's internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2013, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREOWNERS OF UNITED TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION:
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related consolidated statement of operations, of comprehensive income, of cash flows and of changes in equity present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of United Technologies Corporation and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992. The Corporation's management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Corporation's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A corporation's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A corporation's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the corporation; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the corporation are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the corporation; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the corporation's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
