Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
EMERSON ELECTRIC CO. & SUBSIDIARIES

(Dollars and shares in millions, except per share amounts or where noted)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of operating results for the interim periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal and recurring accruals. The consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2022.

Over the past two years, Emerson Electric Co. ("Emerson" or the "Company") has taken significant actions to accelerate the transformation of its portfolio through the completion of strategic acquisitions and divestitures of non-core businesses. The Company's recent portfolio actions include the combination of its industrial software businesses with Aspen Technology, Inc., with the Company owning 55 percent of the outstanding shares of the combined entity on a fully diluted basis upon closing of the transaction on May 16, 2022, the sale of its Therm-O-Disc business, which was completed on May 31, 2022, the sale of its InSinkErator business, which was completed on October 31, 2022, the sale of a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business, which was completed on May 31, 2023, and the pending acquisition of National Instruments Corporation ("NI"), which was approved by NI shareholders on June 29, 2023 and is expected to close in the first half of Emerson’s fiscal 2024, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. This includes reporting financial results for Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and the assets and liabilities of Climate Technologies and InSinkErator (prior to completion of the divestitures) as held-for-sale (see Note 5). In addition, as a result of its portfolio transformation, the Company now reports six segments and two business groups (see Note 14).

(2) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Emerson is a global manufacturer that combines technology and engineering to provide innovative solutions to its customers, largely in the form of tangible products. The majority of the Company's revenues relate to a broad offering of manufactured products which are recognized at the point in time when control transfers, while a smaller portion is recognized over time or relates to sales arrangements with multiple performance obligations. See Note 14 for additional information about the Company's revenues.

The following table summarizes the balances of the Company's unbilled receivables (contract assets), which are reported in Other assets (current and noncurrent), and its customer advances (contract liabilities), which are reported in Accrued expenses and Other liabilities.     
Sept 30, 2022June 30, 2023
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)$1,390 1,385 
Customer advances (contract liabilities)(776)(985)
      Net contract assets (liabilities)$614 400 
    
The majority of the Company's contract balances relate to (1) arrangements where revenue is recognized over time and payments from customers are made according to a contractual billing schedule, and (2) revenue from term software license arrangements sold by AspenTech where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. The decrease in net contract assets was due to customer billings exceeding revenue recognized for performance completed during the period. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 included $59 and $500, respectively, that was included in the beginning contract liability balance. Other factors that impacted the change in net contract assets were immaterial. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30,





6




2023 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was not material.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $8.2 billion (of which $1.3 billion was attributable to AspenTech). The Company expects to recognize approximately 80 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the following two years.

(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Aspen Technology

On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("Heritage AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the “Emerson Industrial Software Business”), along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to Heritage AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech", a diversified, high-performance industrial software leader with greater scale, capabilities and technologies (defined as "AspenTech" herein). Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former Heritage AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock. AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under Heritage AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”

The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Emerson considered the accounting acquirer of Heritage AspenTech. The net assets of Heritage AspenTech were recorded at their estimated fair value and for the Emerson Industrial Software Business continue at their historical basis. The Company recorded a noncontrolling interest of $5.9 billion for the 45 percent ownership interest of former Heritage AspenTech stockholders in AspenTech. The noncontrolling interest associated with the Heritage AspenTech acquired net assets was recorded at fair value determined using the closing market price per share of Heritage AspenTech as of May 16, 2022, while the portion attributable to the Emerson Industrial Software business was recorded at its historical carrying amount. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in the Emerson Industrial Software Business resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $550.
The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration reflected in the acquisition accounting using Heritage AspenTech's shares outstanding and closing market price per share as of May 16, 2022 (in millions except share and per share data):
Heritage AspenTech shares outstanding66,662,482

Emerson's cash contribution of approximately $6.0 billion was paid out at approximately $87.69 per share (on a fully diluted basis) to holders of issued and outstanding shares of Heritage AspenTech common stock as of the closing of the transactions, with $168 of cash remaining on AspenTech's balance sheet as of the closing which is not included in the allocation of purchase consideration above.

The estimated intangible assets attributable to the transaction are comprised of the following (in millions):

AmountEstimated Weighted Average Life (Years)
Developed technology $1,350 10
Customer relationships 2,300 15
Trade names430 Indefinite-lived
Backlog310 3
Total $4,390 

Results of operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 attributable to the Heritage AspenTech acquisition include sales of $257 and $576, respectively, compared to $173 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, while the impact to GAAP net earnings was not material in both years.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited proforma consolidated condensed financial results of operations are presented as if the acquisition of Heritage AspenTech occurred on October 1, 2020. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts).
 Three Months Ended June 30,Nine Months Ended June 30,
 2022 2022 
Net Sales$3,520 $10,326 
Net earnings from continuing operations common stockholders$268 $1,426 
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations$0.45 $2.39 






8




The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 include $159 of transaction costs which were assumed to be incurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2021. Of these transaction costs, $61 and $91 were included in the Company's reported results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, but have been excluded from the fiscal 2022 pro forma results above. In addition, Heritage AspenTech incurred $68 of transaction costs prior to the completion of the acquisition that were not included in Emerson's reported results. The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 include estimated interest expense of $56 related to the issuance of $3 billion of term debt and increased commercial paper borrowings to fund the acquisition.

Other Transactions

On April 12, 2023, Emerson announced an agreement to acquire National Instruments Corporation ("NI") for $60 per share in cash at an equity value of $8.2 billion. The effective price per share is $59.61 considering shares previously acquired by Emerson, see Note 12. NI, which provides software-connected automated test and measurement systems that enable enterprises to bring products to market faster and at a lower cost, had revenues of $1.66 billion in 2022. On June 29, 2023, NI's shareholders voted to approve the proposed transaction and it is expected to close in the first half of Emerson’s fiscal 2024, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

On July 27, 2022, AspenTech entered into an agreement to acquire Micromine, a global leader in design and operational solutions for the mining industry, for AU$900 (approximately $623 USD based on exchange rates when the transaction was announced). On August 1, 2023, AspenTech announced the termination of the agreement to purchase Micromine. AspenTech, along with the sellers of Micromine, had been waiting to secure a final Russian regulatory approval as a condition to the closing of the transaction. As this process continued, the timing and requirements necessary to get this approval became increasingly unclear. This lack of clarity on the potential for, and timing of, a successful review led AspenTech and the sellers of Micromine to this mutual course of action. AspenTech will not pay any termination fee as part of this arrangement.

On March 31, 2023, Emerson completed the divestiture of Metran, its Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary. In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company recognized a pretax loss of $47 in Other deductions ($47 after-tax, in total $0.08 per share) related to its exit of business operations in Russia. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company announced its intention to exit business operations in Russia and recognized a pretax loss of $162 ($174 after-tax, in total $0.29 per share). This charge included a loss of $32 in operations and $130 reported in Other deductions ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs) and was primarily non-cash.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company received a distribution of $438 related to its subordinated interest in Vertiv (in total, a pretax gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, $358 after-tax, $0.60 per share) and received the remaining $15 related to the pretax gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $150 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three years. However, the distributions are contingent on the timing and price at which Vertiv shares are sold by the equity holders and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the remaining distributions to the Company.
(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced sale of a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business (which constitutes the former Climate Technologies segment, excluding Therm-O-Disc which was divested earlier in fiscal 2022) to private equity funds managed by Blackstone in a $14.0 billion transaction. Emerson received upfront, pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $9.7 billion (an increase of $0.2 billion from when the transaction was announced due to Blackstone's decision to purchase an additional 5 percent of the common equity) and a note receivable with a face value of $2.25 billion (which will accrue 5 percent interest payable in kind by capitalizing interest), while retaining a 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest (down from 45 percent when the transaction was announced) in a new standalone joint venture between Emerson and Blackstone. The Climate Technologies business, which includes the Copeland compressor business and the entire portfolio of products and services across all residential and commercial HVAC and refrigeration end-markets, had fiscal 2022 net sales of approximately $5.0 billion and pretax earnings of $1.0 billion. The Company recognized a pretax gain of approximately $10.6 billion (approximately $8.4 billion after-tax including tax expense recognized in prior quarters related to subsidiary restructurings). The new standalone business is named Copeland. See Note 10 for further details.

On October 31, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion. This business had net sales of $630 and pretax earnings of $152 in fiscal 2022. The Company recognized a pretax gain of approximately $2.8 billion (approximately $2.1 billion after-tax) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.

On May 31, 2022 the Company completed the divestiture of its Therm-O-Disc sensing and protection technologies business to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $486 ($429 after-tax) in the third fiscal quarter of 2022.

The financial results of Climate Technologies, InSinkErator ("ISE") and Therm-O-Disc ("TOD") (through the completion of the divestitures), are reported as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and were as follows:

Other deductions, net for Climate Technologies included $57 of transaction-related costs for the nine months ended June 30, 2023. Income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 included approximately $2.2 billion for the gain on the Copeland transaction and subsidiary restructurings in prior quarters, and approximately $660 related to the gain on the InSinkErator divestiture.

(8) RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Restructuring expense reflects costs associated with the Company’s ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and deploy assets globally in order to remain competitive on a worldwide basis. The Company expects fiscal 2023 restructuring expense and related costs to be approximately $110, including costs to complete actions initiated in the first nine months of the year.

(9) TAXES

Income taxes were $158 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and $123 in 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 21 percent and 33 percent, respectively. The prior year rate reflected a 12 percentage point impact from the Russia business exit.

Income taxes were $390 in the first nine of months of fiscal 2023 and $399 in 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 21 percent and 22 percent, respectively. The prior year rate reflected the impact of the Russia business exit which was essentially offset by a benefit related to the completion of tax examinations.
On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other things, provides tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions of the CARES Act include the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and other provisions. The Company deferred $73 of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020, of which approximately $37 was paid in December 2021 and the remainder was paid in December 2022.

(10) EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT AND NOTE RECEIVABLE

As discussed in Note 5, the Company completed the divestiture of a majority stake in Copeland on May 31, 2023, and received upfront, pre-tax cash proceeds of approximately $9.7 billion and a note receivable with a face value of $2.25 billion, while retaining a 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland. As a result of the transaction, the Company deconsolidated Copeland from its financial statements, as it no longer has a controlling interest, and initially recognized its common equity investment and note receivable at fair values of $1,359 and $2,052, respectively. The fair value of the common equity investment was determined using a discounted cash flow model, which included estimating financial projections for Copeland and applying an appropriate discount rate, and an option pricing model based on various assumptions. Fair value for the note receivable was determined using a market approach primarily based on interest rates for companies with similar credit quality and the expected duration of the note.

The Company records its share of Copeland's income or loss using the equity method of accounting. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 the Company recorded a loss of $61 in Other deductions to reflect its share of Copeland's reported GAAP losses and a tax benefit of $10 in Income taxes related to Copeland's U.S. business, which is taxed as a partnership (in total, $0.09 per share). The Company recognized non-cash interest income on the note receivable of $10, which is reported in Interest income from related party and capitalized to the carrying value of the note.

As of June 30, 2023, the carrying values of the retained equity investment and note receivable were $1,296 and $2,063, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company settled a note receivable and note payable with Copeland of $918, which is reported in Investing and Financing cash flows, respectively.

Summarized financial information for Copeland for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023 is as follows. Copeland's results only reflect activity subsequent to the Company's divestiture of its majority stake.

(12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hedging Activities – As of June 30, 2023, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $2.3 billion. All derivatives receiving hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of June 30, 2023 are expected to be recognized over the next 12 months as the underlying forecasted transactions occur. Gains and losses on foreign currency derivatives reported in Other deductions, net reflect hedges of balance sheet exposures that do not receive hedge accounting.
Net Investment Hedge – In fiscal 2019, the Company issued euro-denominated debt of €1.5 billion. The euro notes reduce foreign currency risk associated with the Company's international subsidiaries that use the euro as their functional currency and have been designated as a hedge of a portion of the investment in these operations. Foreign currency gains or losses associated with the euro-denominated debt are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and will remain until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated.

The following gains and losses are included in earnings and other comprehensive income (OCI) for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 and 2023:

Regardless of whether derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments receive hedge accounting, the Company expects hedging gains or losses to be offset by losses or gains on the related underlying exposures. The amounts ultimately recognized will differ from those presented above for open positions, which remain subject to ongoing market price fluctuations until settlement. Derivatives receiving hedge accounting are highly effective and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.
Equity Investment – The Company has an equity investment in National Instruments Corporation ("NI"), valued at $128 as of June 30, 2023 (reported in Other current assets), and recognized a mark-to-market gain of $12 and $47 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. On April 12, 2023, Emerson announced an agreement to acquire NI for $60 per share in cash for the remaining shares not already owned by Emerson. See Note 4.
Fair Value Measurement – Valuations for all derivatives and the Company's long-term debt fall within Level 2 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy. As of June 30, 2023, the fair value of long-term debt was approximately $7.2 billion, which was lower than the carrying value by $1,055. The fair value of foreign currency contracts, which are reported in Other current assets and Accrued expenses, did not materially change since September 30, 2022. Commodity contracts, which related to discontinued operations, were novated to Copeland upon the completion of the transaction and therefore no amounts are reported in the Company's balance sheet as of June 30, 2023. The fair value of the Company's equity investment in National Instruments falls within Level 1 and was based on the most recent quoted closing market price from its principal exchange for the period ended June 30, 2023.
Counterparties to derivatives arrangements are companies with investment-grade credit ratings. The Company has bilateral collateral arrangements with counterparties with credit rating-based posting thresholds that vary depending on the arrangement. If credit ratings on the Company's debt fall below pre-established levels, counterparties can require immediate full collateralization of all derivatives in net liability positions. The maximum amount that could potentially have been required was immaterial. The Company also can demand full collateralization of derivatives in net asset positions should any counterparty credit ratings fall below certain thresholds. No collateral was posted with counterparties and none was held by the Company as of June 30, 2023.

(14) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

As disclosed in Note 5, the financial results of Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc are reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. As a result of these portfolio actions, the Company has realigned its business segments and now reports six segments and two business groups, which are highlighted in the table below. The Company also reclassified certain product sales that were previously reported in Control Systems & Software to Discrete Automation.

INTELLIGENT DEVICESSOFTWARE AND CONTROL
Final Control
Control Systems & Software
Measurement & Analytical
AspenTech
Discrete Automation
Safety & Productivity
The new segments were previously described as follows: Final Control was the Valves, Actuators & Regulators product offering; Measurement & Analytical was the Measurement & Analytical instrumentation product offering; Discrete Automation was the Industrial Solutions product offering; Safety & Productivity was the Tools & Home Products segment, excluding the divested InSinkErator business; Control Systems & Software was the Systems & Software product offering; and, AspenTech remains unchanged. The AspenTech segment was identified in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 as a result of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition and reflects the combined results of Heritage AspenTech and the Emerson Industrial Software Business (see Note 4 for further details). The results for this new segment include the historical results of the Emerson Industrial Software Business (which were previously reported in





18




the Control Systems & Software segment), while results related to the Heritage AspenTech business only include periods subsequent to the close of the transaction. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations 
(Dollars are in millions, except per share amounts or where noted)

OVERVIEW

On April 12, 2023, Emerson announced an agreement to acquire National Instruments Corporation ("NI") for $60 per share in cash at an equity value of $8.2 billion. The effective price per share is $59.61 considering shares previously acquired by Emerson, see Note 12. NI, which provides software-connected automated test and measurement systems that enable enterprises to bring products to market faster and at a lower cost, had revenues of $1.66 billion in 2022. On June 29, 2023, NI's shareholders voted to approve the proposed transaction and it is expected to close in the first half of Emerson’s fiscal 2024, subject to the completion of customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.
On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the previously announced sale of a majority stake in its Climate Technologies business (which constitutes the former Climate Technologies segment, excluding Therm-O-Disc which was divested earlier in fiscal 2022) to private equity funds managed by Blackstone in a $14.0 billion transaction. The Company recognized a pretax gain of approximately $10.6 billion (approximately $8.4 billion after-tax including tax expense recognized in prior quarters related to subsidiary restructurings). The new standalone business is named Copeland. See Notes 5 and 10 for further details.
On October 31, 2022, the Company completed the divestiture of its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion, and the Company recognized a pretax gain of approximately $2.8 billion (approximately $2.1 billion after-tax) in the first quarter of fiscal 2023.
Climate Technologies, Therm-O-Disc and InSinkErator are reported within discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 5.
On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("Heritage AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business, along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to Heritage AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech" (defined as "AspenTech" herein). Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis). See Note 4. Due to the timing of the acquisition in the prior year, the results for the first half of fiscal 2022 do not include the results of Heritage AspenTech.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2023, net sales from continuing operations were $3.9 billion, up 14 percent compared with the prior year. Underlying sales, which exclude foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, were up 14 percent. Foreign currency translation had a 1 percent unfavorable impact, the AspenTech acquisition added 2 percent and the divestiture of Metran, Emerson's Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary, deducted 1 percent. Sales growth was strong across the majority of the Company's business segments and all geographies were up double digits.
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $592, up 162 percent, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.03, up 171 percent compared with $0.38 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.29 compared with $0.92 in the prior year, reflecting the strong sales growth and operating performance.

The table below presents the Company's diluted earnings per share from continuing operations on an adjusted basis to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and provide additional insight into the underlying, ongoing operating performance of the Company. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excludes intangibles amortization expense, restructuring expense, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction-related costs, interest income on undeployed proceeds related to the Copeland transaction, gains or losses on the Copeland equity method investment, and certain gains, losses or impairments.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $3.9 billion, up 14 percent compared with 2022. Intelligent Devices sales were up 11 percent, while Software and Control sales were up 22 percent, which included the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition. Underlying sales were up 14 percent on 9 percent higher volume and 5 percent higher price. Foreign currency translation had a 1 percent negative impact, the Heritage AspenTech acquisition added 2 percent and the divestiture of Metran, Emerson's Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary, deducted 1 percent. Underlying sales were up 10 percent in the U.S. and up 17 percent internationally. The Americas was up 11 percent, Europe was up 13 percent, and Asia, Middle East & Africa was up 20 percent (China up 24 percent).

Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2023 were $1,952, an increase of $73 compared with 2022. Gross margin of 50.5 percent increased 4.7 percentage points due to favorable price less net material inflation, the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition which benefited margins by 0.6 percentage points, and favorable mix.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,042 increased $148 and SG&A as a percent of sales increased 0.6 percentage points to 26.4 percent compared with the prior year, reflecting higher stock compensation expense due to a higher share price and the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition, partially offset by strong operating leverage on higher sales.
Other deductions, net were $191 in 2023, a decrease of $73 compared with the prior year. The prior year included a charge of $130 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs) while the current year included a loss of $61 on the Company's equity method investment in Copeland. See Note 7 and Note 10.

Pretax earnings from continuing operations of $761 increased $383, up 101 percent compared with the prior year, reflecting strong operating leverage on higher sales.

Diluted EPS - Earnings from continuing operations$2.34 2.51 %
Diluted EPS - Net earnings$4.17 21.56 417 %

Net sales for the first nine months of 2023 were $11.1 billion, up 12 percent compared with 2022. Intelligent Devices sales were up 7 percent, while Software and Control sales were up 27 percent, which included the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition. Underlying sales were up 12 percent on 7 percent higher volume and 5 percent higher price. Foreign currency translation subtracted 3 percent, the Heritage AspenTech acquisition added 4 percent and the divestiture of Metran deducted 1 percent. Underlying sales increased 13 percent in the U.S. and increased 11 percent internationally. The Americas was up 13 percent, Europe was up 10 percent and Asia, Middle East & Africa was up 11 percent (China was up 7 percent).

Cost of sales for 2023 were $5,660, an increase of $225 versus $5,435 in 2022. Gross margin of 48.9 percent increased 3.7 percentage points due to favorable price less net material inflation, the impact of the Heritage AspenTech acquisition which benefited margins by 0.9 percentage points, and favorable mix.

SG&A expenses of $3,072 increased $441 and SG&A as a percent of sales increased 1.1 percentage points to 27.7 percent, reflecting the Heritage AspenTech acquisition and higher stock compensation expense of $106, of which $55 related to Emerson stock plans due to a decreasing stock price in the prior year compared to an increasing stock price in the current year, and $51 was attributable to AspenTech stock plans. These items were partially offset by strong operating leverage on higher sales.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company received a distribution of $438 related to its subordinated interest in Vertiv (in total, a pretax gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2022, $358 after-tax, $0.60 per share) and received the remaining $15 related to the pretax gain in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $150 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three years. However, the distributions are contingent on the timing and price at which Vertiv shares are sold by the equity holders and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the remaining distributions to the Company.





27




Other deductions, net were $420 in 2023, an increase of $90 compared with the prior year, reflecting higher intangibles amortization of $150 primarily related to the Heritage AspenTech acquisition, a loss of $61 on the Company's equity method investment in Copeland, and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency transactions of $103 reflecting losses in the current year compared to gains in the prior year. The prior year included a charge of $130 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs) compared to a charge of $47 in the current year. The current year also included a mark-to-market gain of $47 on the Company's equity investment in NI and a mark-to-market gain of $24 related to foreign currency forward contracts entered into by AspenTech to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange associated with the Micromine purchase price. On June 21, 2023, AspenTech terminated all outstanding foreign currency forward contracts. See Note 7.

Pretax earnings from continuing operations of $1,822 decreased $7 largely due to the Vertiv gain discussed above offset by strong operating results in the current year. Earnings increased $362 in Intelligent Devices and decreased $27 in Software and Control (reflecting the impact of higher intangibles amortization due to the Heritage AspenTech acquisition), see the Business Segments discussion that follows and Note 14.

Income taxes were $390 for the first nine months of 2023 and $399 for 2022, resulting in effective tax rates of 21 percent and 22 percent, respectively. The prior year rate reflected the impact of the Russia business exit which was essentially offset by a benefit related to the completion of tax examinations.

Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $1,451, up 4 percent compared with the prior year, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $2.51, up 7 percent compared with $2.34 in 2022. The prior year included a $0.60 gain related to the Company's subordinated interest in Vertiv. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $3.15 compared with $2.57 in the prior year, reflecting strong operating results. See the analysis below of adjusted earnings per share for further details.

Earnings from discontinued operations were $11,024 ($19.05 per share) which included the $8.4 billion after-tax gain on the Copeland transaction and the $2.1 billion after-tax gain on the divestiture of InSinkErator, compared to $1,091 ($1.83 per share) in the prior year. See Note 5.

Net earnings common stockholders were $12,475 ($21.56 per share) compared with $2,491 ($4.17 per share) in the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Key elements of the Company's financial condition for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2022 and the nine months ended June 30, 2022 follow.
 June 30, 2022Sept 30, 2022June 30, 2023
Operating working capital$1,081 $990 $(144)
Current ratio1.1 1.1 2.4 
Total debt-to-total capital52.9 %50.0 %28.9 %
Net debt-to-net capital46.8 %45.3 %(8.8)%
Interest coverage ratio12.6 X11.7 X9.8 X
The Company's operating working capital as of June 30, 2023 includes remaining income taxes payable of approximately $1.5 billion related to the Copeland transaction and the gain on the InSinkErator divestiture, which is largely expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2023. Excluding these income taxes payable related to discontinued operations, operating working capital remained elevated due to higher inventory levels to support sales growth and higher receivables. As of June 30, 2023, Emerson's cash and equivalents totaled $9,957, which reflected approximately $9.7 billion of proceeds related to the Copeland transaction which are expected to be used along with other available cash and liquidity to fund the proposed National Instruments transaction. Going forward, Copeland is not expected to issue dividends to the Company but will distribute cash for the Company to pay its share of U.S. taxes. The Company's cash also includes $289 attributable to AspenTech which is intended to be used for its own purposes and is not a readily available source of liquidity for other Emerson general business purposes or to return to Emerson shareholders.
The current ratio increased compared to September 30, 2022, reflecting the proceeds from the Copeland transaction. The interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes plus interest expense, divided by interest expense) of 9.8X for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 compares to 12.6X for the nine months ended June 30, 2022, reflecting higher interest expense. Pretax earnings in the prior year included the Vertiv subordinated interest gain of $453. Excluding the gain, the interest coverage ratio was 9.7X for the nine months ended June 30, 2022.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2023 was $1,719, an increase of $484 compared with $1,235 in the prior year, reflecting higher earnings (excluding the prior year impact of the Vertiv subordinated interest gain and the current year impact from Heritage AspenTech intangibles amortization). Operating cash flow included approximately $295 generated by AspenTech. Free cash flow from continuing operations of $1,525 in the first nine months of fiscal 2023 (operating cash flow of $1,719 less capital expenditures of $194) increased $489 compared to free cash flow of $1,036 in 2022 (operating cash flow of $1,235 less capital expenditures of $199), reflecting the increase in operating cash flow. Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations was $615. Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was $6,302 and included Emerson share repurchases of $2.0 billion (and AspenTech repurchases of $100, which increased the Company's common ownership percentage to approximately 56 percent), a net reduction in short-term borrowings of approximately $1.5 billion, repayments of long-term debt of $744 (including $264 related to AspenTech's repayment of the outstanding balance on its existing term loan facility plus accrued interest), and dividend payments of $900.
Total cash provided by operating activities was $1,280 including the impact of discontinued operations, and decreased $425 compared with $1,705 in the prior year due to approximately $750 of incomes taxes paid related to the gain on the InSinkErator divestiture and subsidiary restructurings related to the Copeland transaction. Investing cash flow from discontinued operations was $12.5 billion, reflecting proceeds from the Copeland transaction and InSinkErator divestiture.
As of June 30, 2023, goodwill attributable to AspenTech was approximately $8.3 billion. AspenTech conducted its annual impairment test as of May 31, 2023 and determined that the carrying value of its stockholders' equity exceeded its market capitalization. Accordingly, to further validate the reasonableness of the initial qualitative assessment and evaluation, a reconciliation of AspenTech's market capitalization was performed by calculating an implied control premium. The Company concluded that the implied control premium was reasonable based on a comparison to actual control premiums realized in recent comparable market transactions. If AspenTech's stock price declines and is sustained, further evaluation would be necessary and an impairment of goodwill attributable to AspenTech may result. No impairment of goodwill attributable to AspenTech was recorded in fiscal 2022 or for the nine months ended June 30, 2023.

In February 2023, the Company entered into a $3.5 billion five-year revolving backup credit facility with various banks, which replaced the May 2018 $3.5 billion facility. The credit facility is maintained to support general corporate purposes, including commercial paper borrowings. The Company has not incurred any borrowings under this or previous facilities. The credit facility contains no financial covenants and is not subject to termination based on a change of credit rating or material adverse changes.
