A leading provider of innovative heating, ventilating and air conditioning 
(HVAC), refrigeration, and fire & security technologies, Carrier's products and 
services are essential for modern life, particularly in today's global 
environment. The company has an extensive global footprint with approximately 
53,000 employees, offering solutions in more than 160 countries. Carrier has 
leading positions in critical segments, including North American residential 
HVAC, commercial HVAC equipment in major markets, global fire detection and 
suppression, global access controls for security systems, and refrigerated 
equipment for the North American and European truck trailer and container 
businesses.

"Against the backdrop of unprecedented global uncertainty, Carrier and its 
employees remain focused and continue to solve critical challenges – from 
improving indoor air quality, protecting the world's food and pharmaceutical 
supply and keeping people safe and secure. I am honored to lead this fantastic 
company and now, more than ever, I am incredibly proud of the perseverance and 
resiliency of our talented workforce," said Carrier President & CEO Dave 
Gitlin. "For more than a century, Carrier has been a symbol of excellence, and 
today, as a standalone company, we have defined our own strategy, vision, 
culture and priorities. We have an unmatched legacy and look forward to 
delivering sustainable long-term growth to our shareowners and other 
stakeholders."

Strategy

As an independent company, Carrier will have greater focus and enhanced agility 
based on its own distinct operating priorities and strategies for long-term 
growth and profitability, including strengthening and growing its core 
businesses, extending its product range and geographical coverage, and 
expanding service and digital offerings. The company is well-positioned with 
strong megatrends driving sustained industry growth, leading positions with 
significant installed base, a disciplined operating system, and an unwavering 
commitment to innovation.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Carrier will continue to contribute meaningfully to communities around the 
world through employee volunteerism and environmentally responsible operations, 
products and services. Carrier's recent $3 million, three-year donation to The 
Nature Conservancy (

) will help cities better prepare for climate change and support the 
development of online STEM education for children around the world, and is a 
testament to Carrier's commitment to environmental leadership.

"We are a world leader in providing energy-efficient solutions for buildings 
around the world. We are deeply committed to driving a leadership position in 
sustainable solutions for the planet and for future generations. Strengthening 
our global community makes us a stronger company, creating shared value for our 
business and society," said Gitlin. "As a standalone company, we have the 
ability to leverage our legacy of industry leadership and sustainability to 
address the challenges of today and tomorrow while executing our vision and 
growth strategy."

and controls, diversion of management's attention and the impact on 
relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and other business 
counterparties. The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in
