Goodwill
Current report
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other ("ASC 350"), goodwill is tested and reviewed annually for impairment on July 1 or whenever there is a material change in events or circumstances that indicates that the fair value of the reporting unit may be less than its carrying value.
Current report
ASC 350 provides entities with an option to perform a qualitative assessment (commonly referred to as “step zero”) to determine whether a quantitative analysis for impairment is necessary. In performing step zero for our impairment test, we are required to make assumptions and judgments, including but not limited to the following: the evaluation of macroeconomic conditions as related to our business, industry and market trends, and the overall future financial performance of our reporting units and future opportunities in the markets in which they operate. If impairment indicators are present after performing step zero, we would perform a quantitative impairment analysis to estimate fair value.
Current report
For our 2026 goodwill impairment tests, we elected to perform qualitative step zero assessments for all tests, except for our Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit, to determine if the fair values of our reporting units were below carrying value. This constitutes the entire Climate Solutions Europe segment. We considered macroeconomic factors including global economic growth, general macroeconomic trends for the markets in which our reporting units operate and the forecasted growth of the global industrial products industry. In addition to these macroeconomic factors, among other things, we considered the reporting units’ current results and forecasts, changes in the nature of each business, any significant legal, regulatory, contractual, political or other business climate factors, changes in the industry and competitive environment, changes in the composition or carrying value of net assets and any intention to sell or dispose of a reporting unit or a significant portion of a reporting unit. Based upon our qualitative analysis, we determined that our goodwill wasnot impaired for these reporting units.
Current report
For the remaining goodwill test, we elected to perform a quantitative test to determine if the fair value of our Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit was below carrying value. We utilized a discounted cash flow method under the income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. Key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows included the revenue growth rate, earnings before interest and income taxes margin, discount rate and long-term growth rate, among others and explicitly addressed factors such as timing, growth and margins with due consideration given to forecasting, market and geographic risk. Based on the results of the quantitative test, the carrying amount of the Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit exceeded its estimated fair value by approximately 23%. As a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $3.1 billion in the third quarter of 2026.
Current report
The impairment was primarily driven by a reduction in projected operating results for the Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit, weaker market demand, driven in part by government policies and subsidies, a change in the pace of transition from boilers to heat pumps, an increase in interest rates and other challenging macroeconomic conditions. The resulting reductions in projected revenue and profitability, together with a longer expected recovery period and an increase in the discount rate, adversely affected the estimated fair value of the reporting unit. The estimated fair value of the Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit is particularly sensitive to changes in the discount rate and projected operating results. A reasonably possible change in these assumptions could result in a material change in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit and could result in additional goodwill impairment. For example, a 50 basis point increase in the discount rate would decrease the estimated fair value by approximately $630 million, while a 1% decrease in long-term growth rate used to project operating results would decrease the estimated fair value by approximately $750 million.

Goodwill impairment reflects the charge related to our Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit and was primarily driven by lower projected operating results and an increase in the discount rate used to estimate the reporting unit's fair value.

In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act ("IEEPA") were unauthorized. We were the importer of record for certain products previously subject to IEEPA tariffs. In March 2026, the U.S. Court of International Trade ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund IEEPA tariffs previously collected. As of June 30, 2026, we have not recorded any benefit related to potential refunds of IEEPA tariffs paid, as such amounts were not considered probable and reasonably estimable.

The Company accounts for income tax expense in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes("ASC 740"), which requires an estimate of the annual effective income tax rate for the full year to be applied to the respective interim period, taking into account year-to-date amounts and projected results for the full year. The effective tax rate was 25.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 20.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by the$46 million non-deductible impairment charge on Riello and a $10 million increase in tax expense associated with a higher German effective tax rate during thethree months ended June 30, 2026. The three months ended June 30, 2025, included a state tax benefit of$6 million related to the utilization of a capital loss and a tax benefit of $6 million from the conclusion of the UTC 2020 U.S. Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") tax audit.

The effective tax rate was negative 7.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared with negative 0.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The negative effective tax rate in the current period reflected income tax expense recorded on a pretax loss, primarily driven by the non-deductible $3.1 billion goodwill impairment charge related to the Climate Solutions Europe reporting unit. In addition, the three months ended September 30, 2026, included a tax charge of $12 million related to the disposition of Riello. The negative effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, included a net tax benefit of $64 million from changes to the German effective rate and a statutory reduction to the German corporate tax rate and a $49 million benefit from the re-organization of a Japanese subsidiary.

Adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP measure and defined as consolidated operating profit (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other significant items of a nonoperational nature. This measure is useful to investors because it is how management assesses the operating performance of the business. A reconciliation of the amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP to the corresponding non-GAAP measure appears below and provides additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measure.

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). In addition, we supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. Adjusted operating profit is a non-GAAP measure and defined as consolidated operating profit (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs, amortization of acquired intangible assets and other significant items of a nonoperational nature. This measure is useful to investors because it is how management assesses the operating performance of the business. A reconciliation of the amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP to the corresponding non-GAAP measure appears below and provides additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measure.
