Supply Chain, Inflation, and Sole-Source Supplier Risk: Honeywell Aerospace depends on stable•

access to raw materials and components, including nickel, steel, titanium, specialty materials, and

parts procured from single- or sole-source suppliers. Supplier financial stress, labor disruptions,

capacity constraints, tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, counterfeit parts, quality issues, or shortages
