MILWAUKEE, WI USA
    MILWAUKEE, April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Johnson Controls, Inc.
(NYSE: JCI) today reported record results for the second quarter of fiscal
2006. In addition, the company increased its full-year earnings outlook.
    (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030423/JCILOGO )
    Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John M. Barth said, "The quarterly
operating performance was in line with our expectations. Our strategies for
profitable growth and disciplined approach to cost reduction and quality
improvements continue to enable us to achieve our financial commitments. We
remain confident that we will extend our track record for consecutive years
of record sales and earnings in 2006."
    Mr. Barth continued, "We have 136,000 employees around the world who
are devoted to our customers, to continuous improvement and to innovation.
They make us successful, and I commend them for their efforts."
    Second-Quarter Results
    For the three months ended March 31, 2006, sales increased 18% to a
record $8.2 billion from $6.9 billion last year, primarily reflecting
increases in the building efficiency and power solutions businesses. The
negative effect of foreign currency in the quarter reduced sales by
approximately $315 million.
    Operating income was a record $266 million versus $43 million which was
reduced by a 2005 restructuring charge of $210 million. The tax rate in the
2006 quarter was 17.3%, reflecting a cumulative reduction in the annual
base effective tax rate to 21% from 24.3% (see tax note). This reduction
principally reflects a higher proportion of 2006 earnings coming from lower
tax jurisdictions. The company expects the tax rate in 2007 to be within
the range of 23% to 24%.
    Income from continuing operations in the current quarter was $162
million versus $54 million in the prior year. Diluted earnings per share
from continuing operations were $0.83 compared with $0.28 in the prior
year.
    Second-Quarter Results Excluding Special Items (Non-GAAP)
    The following discussion focuses on the performance of the ongoing
operations of the company and therefore excludes 2005 special items such as
restructuring costs, gains from businesses divested, and a tax credit. A
reconciliation to GAAP measures is provided in the footnotes to the
attached Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
    Operating income was 5% higher than the prior year due to increased
earnings from the building efficiency and power solutions businesses.
Income from continuing operations of $162 million compares with $165
million for 2005, as the net interest expense and acquisition accounting
related to the December 2005 York acquisition more than offset York's
earnings and the benefit of the lower base effective tax rate. Diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.83 versus $0.85 in
the prior year.
    Interior experience sales for the second quarter of 2006 totaled $4.8
billion, approximately level with sales in 2005 while operating income was
$135 million, 1% lower than in the prior year. Excluding the negative
effect of foreign currency, sales increased 5% and operating income
increased 8%. Industry light vehicle production in North America was
approximately 4% higher; European production is estimated to have been up
2%. The European interiors operating margin increased over the prior year.
The North American operating margin declined year-over-year due to
commodity pressures and a negative vehicle mix, but improved slightly
compared to the first quarter of 2006.
    Power solutions sales were up 29% to $874 million from $680 million due
to the impact of the July 2005 acquisition of Delphi's battery business as
well as higher organic shipments. Operating income increased 14% to $75
million from $66 million due to the higher volume and improved operational
efficiencies. Operating margin declined due to record high lead costs, most
of which are expected to be recovered in customer pricing, as well as the
Delphi battery acquisition.
    Building efficiency sales increased 74% to $2.5 billion from $1.4
billion in 2005 primarily reflecting the York acquisition as well as
increased sales of control systems and services for non-residential
buildings in North America. Operating income increased 10% to $56 million
from $51 million due to the higher volume. Excluding non-recurring
acquisition costs of $22 million, operating income was up 53%. York's
results improved over its 2005 second quarter, led by a strong performance
by its residential air conditioning business. The backlog of uncompleted
contracts was $3.3 billion, up 8% from the previous year (pro-forma
including York).
    2006 Full Year and Third-Quarter Outlook
    Johnson Controls forecast that its diluted earnings per share from
continuing operations for 2006 would be in a range of $5.25 - $5.35,
including a $0.22 to $0.24 benefit from the lower effective tax rate. The
company previously provided earnings guidance of $5.00 to $5.15 per share
from continuing operations. Sales expectations for the year are unchanged
at approximately $32 billion.
    For the third quarter of 2006 the company anticipates diluted earnings
per share from continuing operations of $1.65 to $1.70, an increase of 26%
to 30% over the $1.31 per share earned in the third quarter of 2005.
    Johnson Controls said the expected substantial increase in earnings in
the second half of 2006 is primarily attributable to its building
efficiency business, reflecting the absence of York acquisition accounting
costs, the positive seasonality of the air conditioning industry and
increased customer demand. The company said it also expects a continued
strong performance by its European interiors and power solutions
businesses.
    The company expects that its financial position will remain strong. It
anticipates that its ratio of total debt to total capitalization will
decline to approximately 40% by the end of 2006 from 45% at March 31, 2006.
    "We continued to make progress transforming our businesses to take
advantage of the global growth opportunities," Mr. Barth said. "The
underlying performance of each of our businesses continues to improve.
Additionally, as we improve our cost structure, we continue to identify
more opportunity to deliver greater value to our customers."

    2. Acquisition
    On December 9, 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of York
International Corporation (York). The Company paid $56.50 for each
outstanding share of common stock plus the assumption of debt. The total
value of the acquisition was approximately $3.2 billion, including
approximately $565 million of debt.
    3. Discontinued Operations
    The Company acquired York's Bristol Compressor business as part of the
York acquisition on December 9, 2005. The Company is currently exploring
strategic alternatives for this business.
    In February 2005, the Company completed the sale of its engine
electronics business to Valeo for approximately 316 million euro, or
approximately $419 million. This non-core business was a part of the Sagem
SA automotive electronics business that was acquired in fiscal 2002 and was
included in the interior experience business.
    In March 2005, the Company completed the sale of its Johnson Controls
World Services Inc. subsidiary to IAP Worldwide Services Inc. for
approximately $260 million. This non-strategic business was acquired in
fiscal 1989 from Pan Am Corporation and was included in the building
efficiency business.
    The Bristol Compressor business, the engine electronics business and
the Johnson Controls World Services Inc. subsidiary are reported as
discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
in accordance with SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal
of Long-Lived Assets."
    4. Income Taxes
    The Company's estimated annual base effective income tax rate for
continuing operations declined to 21.0% from the 24.3% used in the prior
quarter and from the 25.7% used for the prior fiscal year, primarily due to
increased income in certain foreign jurisdictions with a rate of tax lower
than the U.S. statutory tax rate, decreased income in higher-tax
jurisdictions and certain tax planning initiatives. The adjustment to the
effective tax rate resulted in a $14 million cumulative reduction in income
tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2006, which impacted diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.07.
    The table below shows a reconciliation of the tax provision, as
reported, for the three and six months ended March 31, 2006 (amounts in
millions):
