JOHNSON CONTROLS REPORTS 26% INCREASE IN FOURTH-QUARTER 2007
EARNINGS PER SHARE FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
Milwaukee, Wisc. October 23, 2007. . . Johnson Controls, Inc. today reported record sales and earnings for its 2007
fourth quarter. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations totaled $0.78, up 26% from $0.62 last year.
Sales for the 2007 fourth quarter totaled $9.0 billion, up 11% from $8.2 billion in 2006 as the company increased its
share of its global markets. Income from continuing operations was $469 million versus $368 million last year, an increase
of 27% as a result of the higher revenues and increased operational efficiencies.
For the 2007 fiscal year, Johnson Controls sales totaled $34.6 billion compared with $32.2 billion for 2006, an increase
of 7%. Income from continuing operations increased 25% to $1.3 billion. Diluted earnings per share from continuing
operations in 2007 were $2.16 versus $1.75. Excluding a non-recurring tax benefit in the second quarter, 2007 diluted
earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.10. Fiscal year 2007 is the company’s 61 st consecutive year of
sales increases and 17 th consecutive year of earnings increases.
All earnings per share amounts reflect the company’s 3-for-1 stock split on October 2, 2007.
“We are pleased to deliver record results for the fourth quarter and for the full fiscal year,” said Chief Executive Officer
Stephen A. Roell. “We expect to continue to win share and grow at a faster pace than our underlying industries through
our innovation, cost advantages and world-class quality.”

He continued, “It is a core part of our company’s culture to understand customers’ emerging needs and to deliver
unique, practical solutions. Our employees around the world continue to show an outstanding commitment to our
customers, and I thank them for another record year.”
Fourth Quarter Results
Building efficiency sales were $3.6 billion, up 15% compared with 2006 revenues of $3.1 billion. The increase reflects
strong commercial buildings markets globally and higher demand for the company’s solutions to improve energy efficiency
and lower operating costs in non-residential buildings. Segment income increased 23% to $316 million from $257 million
as a result of the higher revenues as well as cost structure improvements associated with the company’s branch office
network and manufacturing operations. The backlog of uncompleted commercial systems and services contracts at
September 30, 2007 was $4.2 billion, an increase of 14% over the prior year amount, reflecting continued market share
gains.
Automotive experience sales in the quarter were $4.2 billion, 3% higher than $4.0 billion in 2006. North American sales
increased 2% and European sales rose 5%, approximately in line with overall vehicle production levels. Sales in the
Asia/Pacific region declined 3% due to lower volumes in Japan. Unconsolidated sales in China increased 48%. Segment
income was $183 million, up 24% from $148 million last year as a result of a substantial improvement in North American
profitability and a continued strong performance in Europe.
Power solutions sales increased 27%, to $1.3 billion from $1.0 billion last year due to higher unit prices resulting from
the pass-through of increased lead costs, as well as slightly higher unit shipments. Segment income increased to
$161 million, up 7% from $150 million in the 2006 fourth quarter due to the higher volume and improved operational
efficiencies.
The company said its net debt to total capitalization at September 30, 2007 was 30%, versus 35% at June 30, 2007.

2008 Outlook
On October 9, 2007, the company issued guidance on its expected financial performance in 2008. Johnson Controls
anticipates a sales increase of 10%, to approximately $38 billion. Income from continuing operations is estimated to
increase approximately 18%, to $2.45 — $2.50 per diluted share. The company said the strong performance will be the
result of its participation in growth markets, its exposure to non-cyclical sectors, its global capabilities and technology
leadership as well as its cost discipline.
For the first quarter of 2008, the company expects diluted earnings per share to increase 25% - 32% versus the 2007
first quarter, to a range of $0.35 to $0.37.
“We have excellent visibility to our expected 2008 sales through our large and growing backlogs of new business,”
Mr. Roell said. “We are executing well on our growth strategies and expect a strong start to 2008.”

Johnson Controls, Inc. (“the Company”) has made forward-looking statements in this document pertaining to its financial
results for fiscal year 2008 and beyond that are based on preliminary data and are subject to risks and uncertainties. All
statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that are or could be deemed forward-looking

operation given its growing significance to the Company’s global business strategies.
2. Acquisitions
In December 2005, the Company completed its acquisition of York International Corporation. The Company paid $56.50
for each outstanding share of common stock. The total cost of the acquisition, excluding cash acquired, was
approximately $3.1 billion, including approximately $563 million of debt.
3. Discontinued Operations
In the second quarter and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company recorded losses of approximately $48 million
($30 million after-tax) and $5 million ($3 million after-tax), respectively, related to the sale of businesses reported as
discontinued operations, primarily Bristol Compressors.
4. Income Taxes
In the second quarter and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007, the Company reduced its income tax liability by $15 million
and $13 million, respectively, due to the favorable resolution of certain tax audits. The Company’s federal income tax
returns and certain foreign income tax returns for various fiscal years remain under various stages of audit by the Internal
Revenue Service and respective foreign tax authorities. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain,
management believes that it has appropriate support for the positions taken on its tax returns and that its annual tax
provisions included amounts sufficient to pay assessments, if any, which may be proposed by the taxing authorities. At
September 30, 2007, the Company has recorded a liability for its best estimate of the probable loss on certain of its tax
positions, the majority of which is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the condensed consolidated statements of
financial position. Nonetheless, the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing
authorities, may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year.
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2007, the tax provision decreased as a result of a $22 million tax benefit realized by a
change in tax status of an automotive experience subsidiary in the Netherlands. In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the
tax provision decreased as a result of an $11 million tax benefit realized by a change in tax status of an automotive
experience subsidiary in Hungary and a building efficiency subsidiary in the Netherlands.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the tax provision increased $20 million as a result of a change in the German
federal income tax rate.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the tax provision decreased $7 million due to a nonrecurring tax benefit related to
the use of a valuation allowance with a joint venture.

4. Income Taxes (continued)
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company recorded a $10 million tax benefit related to a favorable tax audit
resolution in a foreign jurisdiction.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the tax provision decreased due to a $4 million nonrecurring tax benefit related to a
$9 million gain from the disposition of the Company’s interest in a German joint venture.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company completed an analysis of its German operations and, based on
cumulative income over a 36-month period, an assessment of expected future profitability in Germany and finalization of
the 2006 Plan, determined that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits of certain operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards in Germany would be utilized in the future. As such, the Company reversed $131 million attributable to
these operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 as a credit to income tax expense,
net of remaining valuation allowances at certain German subsidiaries and tax reserve requirements.
Based on the Company’s cumulative operating results through the six months ended March 31, 2006 and an assessment
of expected future profitability in Mexico, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the tax benefits of
its operating loss and tax credit carryforwards in Mexico would be utilized in the future. During the second quarter of fiscal
year 2006, the Company completed a tax reorganization in Mexico which will allow operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards to be offset against the future taxable income of the reorganized entities. As such, in the quarter ended
March 31, 2006, the Company reversed the entire valuation allowance of $32 million attributable to these operating loss
and tax credit carryforwards as a credit to income tax expense.
In October 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (AJCA). The AJCA creates a temporary
incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85 percent dividends
received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign operations. The deduction is subject to a number of
limitations. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the Company completed its evaluation of its repatriation plans and
approximately $674 million of foreign earnings were designated for repatriation to the U.S. pursuant to the provisions of
the AJCA. The increase in income tax liability related to the Company’s AJCA initiatives totaled $42 million. The Company
recorded $31 million of net income tax expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2006 as $11 million had been previously
recorded by York prior to the acquisition in accordance with York’s approved repatriation plan.
In the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, the Company recorded a $19 million discrete period tax benefit related to third
quarter 2006 restructuring costs using a blended statutory tax rate of 30.6%.

5. New Accounting Standards
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 158, “Employer’s Accounting for
Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans — an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and
132(R).” SFAS No. 158 requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of defined benefit and retiree
medical plans as an asset or liability in the balance sheet, with changes in the funded status recognized through other
