Current Liabilities
Accounts payable showed a steady increase from 2020 through 2024, rising from $5.75 billion to $6.88 billion, indicating growing short-term obligations to suppliers. Commercial paper and other short-term borrowings declined noticeably from $3.6 billion in 2020 to $2.1 billion in 2023, then surged to $4.3 billion in 2024, suggesting fluctuations in short-term debt financing. Current maturities of long-term debt decreased over the period, dropping from $2.4 billion to $1.3 billion, reflecting a reduced portion of debt maturing within the year. Customer advances and deferred income increased modestly, from approximately $2.9 billion to $3.5 billion, signaling slightly higher prepayments from customers. Compensation-related liabilities generally trended upward, reaching $1.4 billion in 2024, consistent with possible increased employee-related costs or accruals.
Tax-Related and Other Current Liabilities
Income taxes payable increased significantly, rising from $307 million in 2020 to $961 million in 2024, indicating higher tax obligations. Other taxes fluctuated but ended higher at $292 million in 2024 compared to $281 million in 2020. Accrued interest almost quadrupled, from $102 million to $379 million, pointing toward rising interest expenses or accruals. Environmental costs and product warranties held relatively steady with slight increases. Insurance related current liabilities decreased from $140 million to $60 million, suggesting lower short-term insurance obligations. The presence of NARCO buyout accrual at $1.3 billion in 2022 is notable but absent in other years. Other primarily operating expenses saw a peak in 2022 around $1.1 billion but decreased significantly afterward.
Accrued and Other Liabilities
Accrued liabilities displayed an overall increase to $8.3 billion in 2024 from $7.4 billion in 2020, with a peak in 2022. Liabilities held for sale appeared only in 2024 at $408 million. The total current liabilities moderately fluctuated but saw a notable increase in 2024 to $21.3 billion from $19.2 billion in 2020.
Long-Term Liabilities
Long-term debt, excluding current maturities, showed a general uptrend, growing from $16.3 billion in 2020 to $25.5 billion in 2024, highlighting increased use of long-term borrowing. Deferred income taxes decreased from $2.1 billion to $1.8 billion over the period, indicating lower deferred tax liabilities. Postretirement benefit obligations and pension-related liabilities consistently decreased, reflecting possible benefit payments, plan changes, or improved funding status. Asbestos-related liabilities declined sharply from $1.9 billion in 2020 to $1.3 billion in 2024, though with a significant dip and partial recovery between years. Non-current operating lease liabilities increased, suggesting rising lease obligations. Environmental costs remained relatively stable at around $400 million for long-term liabilities. Product warranties and asset retirement obligations decreased slightly.
Other Liabilities and Total Liabilities
Other liabilities saw a decrease, while total non-current liabilities fluctuated but increased significantly in 2024 to $34.8 billion from $27.6 billion in 2020. Consequently, total liabilities rose substantially in 2024 to $56 billion from approximately $46.8 billion in 2020, with much of the increase driven by long-term borrowings.
Equity and Shareholders’ Equity
Common stock issued remained constant at $958 million throughout. Additional paid-in capital increased steadily, reaching $9.7 billion in 2024. Treasury stock costs deepened (indicated by larger negative amounts), showing ongoing repurchases increasing from -$27.2 billion to -$39.4 billion, reflecting significant capital return to shareholders. Accumulated other comprehensive loss fluctuated, peaking negatively in 2023 before improving slightly in 2024. Retained earnings increased consistently from $39.9 billion to $50.8 billion, signaling profitable operations and retention of earnings. Total Honeywell shareowners’ equity showed variability, declining from $17.5 billion in 2020 to $15.9 billion in 2023 but rebounding to $18.6 billion in 2024. Noncontrolling interest decreased progressively. Total shareowners’ equity experienced a slight decline through 2023 before recovering in 2024.
Summary of Financial Position Trends
Total liabilities and equity increased notably in 2024 to $75.2 billion from about $64.6 billion in 2020, driven by increased liabilities particularly in long-term debt, and a recovery in equity balances. The data reflects a pattern of increased leverage via long-term borrowing, ongoing share repurchases, consistent earnings retention, and stable or slightly rising current obligations. Tax-related obligations and accrued interest have grown significantly, while pension and employee-related long-term liabilities have reduced, potentially indicating improved benefit funding or plan amendments. Overall, the company appears to be managing a growing balance sheet with increased debt levels and consistent equity injections, adjusting its obligations and capital structure over time.
