CORK, Ireland, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Johnson Controls International plc (NYSE: JCI), a global leader in thermal management, mission-critical building systems, energy efficiency, and decarbonization, is proud to announce fiscal second quarter 2026 GAAP earnings per share ("EPS") of $0.99. Adjusted EPS was $1.19.
Q2 sales increased 8% to $6.1 billion and organic sales increased 6%.
For the quarter, GAAP net income from continuing operations attributable to JCI was $609 million and adjusted net income was $730 million.
"We delivered another quarter of strong execution, converting sustained demand into consistent growth, margin expansion, and 45% adjusted EPS growth," said Joakim Weidemanis, Chief Executive Officer of Johnson Controls. "Orders grew 30% and backlog reached a record $20 billion, reflecting strength in data centers and other high‑growth, technology‑driven operating environments where we differentiate. While we remain early in our Business System journey, we are encouraged by the momentum we are seeing across the organization. With a strong first‑half performance, we are raising our full‑year guidance and remain focused on delivering long‑term value for our customers and shareholders."

Sales in the quarter of $4.1 billion increased 7% over the prior year. Organic sales also increased 7% led by continued strength across Applied HVAC and double-digit growth in Services.
Excluding M&A and adjusted for foreign currency, orders increased 40% year-over-year and backlog of $14.9 billion increased 32% year-over-year. The increase in backlog and orders was supported by demand for our differentiated solutions for large-scale data center projects.
Segment EBIT margin and adjusted Segment EBITA margin increased 100 bp compared to the prior year. The increases were primarily driven by favorable pricing, productivity improvements and increased volumes. Adjusted Segment EBITA in both Q2 2026 and Q2 2025 excludes transformation costs.

OTHER Q2 ITEMS
GUIDANCE
The following forward-looking statements are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the amounts excluded is a matter of management judgment and depends upon, among other factors, the nature of the underlying expense or income amounts recognized in a given period and the high variability of certain amounts, such as mark-to-market adjustments. Organic revenue growth excludes the effect of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of the aforementioned forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort or expense. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's fiscal 2026 third quarter and full year GAAP financial results.
The Company initiated fiscal 2026 third quarter continuing operations guidance:
The Company's fiscal 2026 full year continuing operations guidance is as follows:

FOOTNOTES
1. Sale of Residential and Light Commercial HVAC Business
In July 2025, the Company sold its Residential and Light Commercial ("R&LC") HVAC business, including the North America Ducted business and the global Residential joint venture with Hitachi Global Life Solutions, Inc. ("Hitachi"), of which Johnson Controls owned 60% and Hitachi owned 40%. The R&LC HVAC business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation and, as a result, its historical financial results are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation.
2. Non-GAAP Measures
The Company reports various non-GAAP measures in this earnings release and the related earnings presentation. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measures. Refer to the following footnotes for further information on the calculations of the non-GAAP measures and reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.
Organic sales
Organic sales growth excludes the impact of acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency. Management believes organic sales growth is useful to investors in understanding period-over-period sales results and trends.
Cash flow
Management believes free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow measures are useful to investors in understanding the strength of the Company and its ability to generate cash. These non-GAAP measures can also be used to evaluate the Company's ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on its liquidity. Management also believes adjusted free cash flows are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period cash flows, cash trends and ongoing cash flows of the Company.
Adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion are non-GAAP measures which exclude the impacts of the following:
Adjusted financial measures
Adjusted financial measures are non-GAAP measures that are derived by excluding certain amounts from the corresponding financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The determination of the excluded amounts is a matter of management judgment and depends upon the nature and variability of the underlying expense or income amounts and other factors.
As detailed in the tables included in footnotes four through seven, the following items were excluded from certain financial measures:
Management believes the exclusion of these items is useful to investors due to the unusual nature and/or magnitude of the amounts. When considered together with unadjusted amounts, adjusted financial measures are useful to investors in understanding period-over-period operating results, business trends and ongoing operations of the Company. Management may also use these metrics as guides in forecasting, budgeting and long-term planning processes and for compensation purposes.
Operating leverage
Operating leverage is defined as the ratio of the change in adjusted EBIT for the period, divided by the corresponding change in net revenues. Management believes operating leverage is a useful metric to reflect enterprise value creation, capturing the impact of scale and cost discipline across the organization.
Debt ratios
Management believes that net debt to adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is useful to understanding the Company's financial condition as the ratio provides an overview of the extent to which the Company relies on external debt financing for its funding and also is a measure of risk to its shareholders.
