![](exhibit991-pressrelease8004.jpg)

Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding Solstice Advanced Materials' ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Refer to the Appendix attached to this release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Page 4 of 5

![](exhibit991-pressrelease8005.jpg)

Appendix Non-GAAP Financial Measure The following information provides the definition and reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure presented in this press release to which this reconciliation is attached to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, this measure is useful to investors and management in understanding Solstice Advanced Materials' ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. This measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a replacement for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Other companies may calculate this non-GAAP measure differently, limiting the usefulness of this measure for comparative purposes. Management does not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of this non-GAAP financial measure is that it excludes significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the combined financial statements. In addition, it is subject to inherent limitations as it reflects the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining this non-GAAP financial measure. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Solstice Advanced Materials' business. Solstice Advanced Materials Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA (Unaudited) (Dollars in millions) Year Ended December 31, 2024 Net income $605 Income tax expense 192 Depreciation 175 Amortization 42 Interest and other financial charges 13 Other expense1 34 Stock compensation expense 17 Other non-recurring items2 10 Asset retirement obligation accretion 2 Transaction costs 4 Pension and other postretirement expense 2 Repositioning charges 2 Adjusted EBITDA $1,098 1 Represents Other expense excluding Equity income of affiliated companies, which is included in Adjusted EBITDA. 2 Including but not limited to impairment charges, litigation and insurance settlements, and gains and losses on disposal of assets. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding income taxes, depreciation, amortization, interest and other financial charges, other expense, stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement income (expense), transaction-related costs, repositioning charges, asset retirement obligation accretion, and certain other items that are otherwise of an unusual or non-recurring nature (including but not limited to impairment charges, litigation and insurance settlements, and gains and losses on disposal of assets). We believe this measure is useful to investors as it provides greater transparency with respect to supplemental information used by management in its financial and operational decision making, as well as understanding ongoing operating trends.

**Forward Looking Statements**

We describe many of the trends and other factors that drive our business and future results in this release. Such discussions contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are those that address activities, events, or developments that management intends, expects, projects, believes, or anticipates will or may occur in the future. They are based on management's assumptions and assessments in light of past experience and trends, current economic and industry conditions, expected future developments, and other relevant factors, many of which are difficult to predict and outside of our control. They are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results, developments and business decisions may differ significantly from those envisaged by our forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update or revise any of our forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable securities law. Our forward-looking statements are also subject to material risks and uncertainties, including ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical risks, such as changes in or application of trade and tax laws and policies, including the impacts of tariffs and other trade barriers and restrictions, lower GDP growth or recession in the U.S. or globally, supply chain disruptions, capital markets volatility, inflation, and certain regional conflicts, that can affect our performance in both the near- and long-term. In addition, no assurance can be given that any plan, initiative, projection, goal, commitment, expectation, or prospect set forth in this release can or will be achieved. Some of the important factors that could cause Honeywell's actual results to differ materially from those projected in any such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) the ability of Honeywell to effect the spin-off transaction described above and to meet the conditions related thereto; (ii) the possibility that the spin-off transaction will not be completed within the anticipated time period or at all; (iii) the possibility that the spin-off transaction will not achieve its intended benefits; (iv) the impact of the spin-off transaction on Honeywell's businesses and the risk that the spin-off transaction may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, including the impact on Honeywell's resources, systems, procedures and controls, diversion of management's attention and the impact and possible disruption of existing relationships with regulators, customers, suppliers, employees and other business counterparties; (v) the possibility of disruption, including disputes, litigation or unanticipated costs, in connection with the spin-off transaction; (vi) the uncertainty of the expected financial performance of Honeywell or Solstice following completion of the spin-off transaction; (vii) negative effects of the announcement or pendency of the spin-off transaction on the market price of Honeywell's securities and/or on the financial performance of Honeywell; (viii) the ability to achieve anticipated capital structures in connection with the spin-off transaction, including the future availability of credit and factors that may affect such availability; (ix) the ability to achieve anticipated credit ratings in connection with the spin-off transaction; (x) the ability to achieve anticipated tax treatments in connection with the spin-off transaction and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions and other portfolio changes and the impact of changes in relevant tax and other laws; and (xi) the failure to realize expected benefits and effectively manage and achieve anticipated synergies and operational efficiencies in connection with the spin-off transaction and completed and future, if any, divestitures, mergers, acquisitions, and other portfolio management, productivity and infrastructure actions. These forward-looking statements should be considered in light of the information included in this release, our Form 10-K and other filings with the SEC.
