“We are well-positioned to deliver strong results in 2025, reinforced by our growing global commercial HVAC backlog supported by the acceleration in data centers, commitment to double-digit aftermarket growth, and leading positions across our businesses,” CEO David Gitlin said.
The company said sales in its HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) segment rose 11% organically.
Its Americas sales in the HVAC segment grew organically by the high teens percentage points, helped by continued strength in commercial and North American residential sales, up double-digit percentage points.
Carrier said that its refrigeration sales were down 6% organically, hurt by declines in sales to trucks and trailers in North America.
The Florida-based company forecasts 2025 net sales between $22.5 billion and $23 billion. It expects a $750 million sales hit in commercial refrigeration divestiture.
Carrier expects to buy back shares worth about $3 billion in 2025.
