The group, which is scheduled to spin off as an independent company called Aident by the end of October, attributes the profit surge in part to restructuring and cost-cutting efforts.
The unit’s quarterly revenue fell 19% to $4.4 billion. JCI says unfavorable exchange rates and the cost of deconsolidating an automotive joint venture accounted for 18 points of the decline.
