Key Factors to Note

Carrier’s growing momentum in the Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) segment is expected to have contributed well to top-line growth in the first quarter.

Increasing demand for CARR’s healthy, safe, sustainable & intelligent building offerings, and cold chain solutions is expected to have benefited the performance of the HVAC segment.

This apart, the company strong efforts toward expanding its HVAC offerings might have had a positive impact.

In the first quarter, the company expanded its Global Comfort Solutions business with the launch of Toshiba Air Conditioning’s new mini VRF system, R32 MiNi-SMMS.

Another HVAC brand namely Automated Logic unveiled WebCTRL, which is a building automation system.

Further, Carrier added a 515B lower GWP refrigerant option to AquaEdge 19MV oil-free water-cooled chiller.

All these efforts are expected to have contributed well to the first-quarter performance of the HVAC segment.

Meanwhile, the rollout of NetBox version 5.6, an advanced version of a browser-based, access control and event monitoring system, by LenelS2, is likely to have contributed to the Fire & Security segment’s performance in the quarter under review.

Further, the Chubb divestiture is expected to have benefited the segment during the first quarter.

This apart, Carrier’s growing momentum across the core, aftermarket and digital offerings is expected to have benefited its first-quarter performance.

Solid traction across entailed system-level solutions, including hardware, controls and aftermarket, is expected to have contributed well to overall top-line growth in the quarter under review.  

However, weakness in the Refrigeration segment might get reflected in the upcoming results. Softness in container and commercial refrigeration is also expected to have acted as a headwind for the segment.

Further, widespread supply-chain disruptions might impact results negatively.
