Item 7.01
Regulation FD Disclosure

Segment Results
In November 2013, Ingersoll-Rand plc (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) announced a realignment of its organizational structure to provide a greater focus on growth, continue implementation of business operating systems, build on our successful operational excellence philosophy, and reduce complexity and costs. As a result of these changes, information that the Company’s chief operating decision maker (its chief executive officer) regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance changed. Therefore, effective with the reporting of fourth quarter 2013 results, the Company will report its financial performance based on the two reportable segments described below.
Exhibit 99.1, to this Form 8-K provides a summary of the Company’s historical segment results revised for the new reporting structure. The revised historical segment results exclude the results of the commercial and residential security businesses (“Allegion™”) which were spun-off to Allegion plc on December 1, 2013 (the “Spin-off”). The information contained in this Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished pursuant to Regulation FD in order to provide the financial community with financial information that is presented on a basis consistent with the new reporting structure. Beginning with the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s financial statements will reflect the new reporting structure with prior periods adjusted accordingly.
Climate
Our Climate segment delivers energy-efficient solutions globally and includes the Trane® and American Standard® Heating & Air Conditioning which provides heating, ventilation and air conditioning (“HVAC”) systems, and commercial and residential building services, parts, support and controls; and Thermo King®, the leader in transport temperature control solutions.
Industrial
Our Industrial segment delivers products and services that enhance energy efficiency, productivity and operations. It includes Ingersoll Rand® compressed air systems and services, power tools and material handling systems, ARO® fluid management equipment, as well as Club Car® golf, utility and rough terrain vehicles. 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP financial information to provide important supplemental information to both management and investors regarding financial and business trends used in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. We have disclosed this non-GAAP financial information in our past quarterly earnings releases so that investors have the same financial data that we use to make comparisons with our historical operating results and analyze our underlying performance. Exhibit 99.2 to this Form 8-K provides the same non-GAAP financial information provided historically. The non-GAAP reconciliation in Exhibit 99.2 presents selected adjusted pro forma financial information derived from the pro forma financial statements presented in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 5, 2013, which gives effect to the Spin-off and the related transactions as further adjusted to reflect certain non-GAAP adjustments.
The non-GAAP financial measures have been presented for informational purposes only. The non-GAAP financial measures do not purport to project our results of operations or financial condition for any period subsequent to September 30, 2013.
The information in the Form 8-K and the exhibits attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference.
This Current Report on Form 8-K and the exhibits hereto include “forward-looking statements,” which are statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and are subject to risks and uncertainties, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s current expectations. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the Company’s ability to fully realize the expected benefits of the proposed Spin-off, global economic conditions, demand for the Company’s products and services and tax law changes. Additional factors that could cause such differences can be found in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013, and September 30, 2013 and in our other SEC filings. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
