EMERSON REPORTS FULL YEAR AND FOURTH QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Fiscal 2012 Highlights:
| · | Sales increased 1 percent to $24.4 billion, with underlying sales up 3 percent |
| · | Record gross and operating profit margins |
| · | Net earnings per share of $2.67 reflects $592 million pretax noncash goodwill impairment on telecommunications and information technology-related businesses |
| · | Normalized earnings per share of $3.39, excluding $0.72 impairment charge |
ST. LOUIS, November 6, 2012 – Emerson (NYSE: EMR) today announced that net sales for fiscal 2012 increased 1 percent from the prior year to $24.4 billion, led by two consecutive years of double-digit growth in Process Management. Underlying sales grew 3 percent, reflecting a substantial deceleration in global economic growth as the year progressed. Currency translation deducted 2 percent and acquisitions, net of divestitures, had a negligible impact. Underlying sales in the U.S. grew 2 percent, Asia grew 3 percent, and Europe declined 1 percent from the prior year.
Gross profit margin reached a record of 40.0 percent, up 50 basis points from the prior year, reflecting the benefits of technology innovation, portfolio management, and cost repositioning. Operating profit margin also reached an historic high of 17.7 percent1, as cost containment programs drove 20 basis points of expansion from 2011. The protracted slowdown in global telecommunications and information technology end markets has resulted in slower growth expectations for the embedded computing and power and DC power businesses, requiring a noncash goodwill impairment charge of $592 million. Net earnings per share of $2.67 includes this charge and compares to $3.27 in the prior year. Excluding impairments, normalized earnings per share was $3.39 versus $3.30 in the prior year.

“Emerson delivered another solid year of operational performance in 2012 despite a challenging global macroeconomic environment,” said Chairman and Chief Executive Officer David N. Farr. “The global economic climate is unusually weak for this stage in a normal recovery cycle. Our businesses remained focused on execution and managing through uncertain market conditions – hallmarks of Emerson’s culture. The record operating margin performance reflects our continuing efforts to drive innovation and operational excellence despite unique challenges, and provides a solid foundation as we move into 2013.”
Fourth Quarter Results
Net sales in the fourth quarter increased 2 percent from the prior year, reflecting unfavorable currency translation of 3 percent and a negligible impact from acquisitions, net of divestitures. Underlying sales grew 5 percent, as the U.S. increased 2 percent, Asia grew 8 percent, and Europe was flat. Process Management led the sales growth (reported up 18 percent, underlying up 21 percent), benefiting from strong energy-related end markets and continued conversion of backlog related to the Thailand flooding.
Fourth quarter gross profit margin of 41.0 percent improved 140 basis points from the prior year and was the second consecutive quarter above 40 percent. This enabled operating profit margin to increase to 20.4 percent2, a record for any prior quarter. Net earnings per share of $0.39 reflects the previously mentioned goodwill impairment charge, resulting in a decrease of 61 percent from the prior year. Normalized earnings per share of $1.11 grew 7 percent from the prior year.
“Our businesses performed very well during the fourth quarter even while underlying economic demand reached its lowest level in the year,” Farr said. “Closing out 2012 with such strong profitability is a testament to the execution capabilities of our global management teams that got the job done and provides operational momentum to respond to the challenging business climate and limited economic visibility.”

Balance Sheet / Cash Flow
Operating cash flow of $1.3 billion increased 4 percent in the quarter from the prior year, while free cash flow of $1.1 billion grew 6 percent. Full-year 2012 operating cash flow decreased 6 percent from the prior year, as year-end trade working capital of 16.2 percent of sales deteriorated from the prior year due to higher receivables related to strong end of year sales, but showed improvement from the third quarter. Dividends and share repurchases in 2012 of $1.2 billion and $0.8 billion, respectively, represented an operating cash flow payout ratio to shareholders of 64 percent. Fiscal 2012 was the 56th consecutive year of annual dividend increases. On Monday, November 5, the Board of Directors voted to increase the first quarter cash dividend from forty cents ($0.40) to forty-one cents ($0.41) per share of common stock, representing an annual rate of $1.64 per share. The new dividend is payable on December 10, 2012, to shareholders of record on November 16, 2012.
“Returning cash to shareholders remains a core tenet of Emerson’s value creation philosophy,” Farr said. “Our strong cash generation allows us to employ a balanced capital allocation approach, creating sustainable value through a combination of dividends, share repurchases, acquisitions, and investment in growth. The Board of Directors’ decision to increase the first quarter 2013 dividend reflects this firm commitment to our shareholders, which will remain a core belief of this management team.”
Business Segment Highlights
Process Management sales increased 18 percent in the fourth quarter, as global energy investment and backlog conversion related to the Thailand flooding drove growth across all businesses. Underlying sales increased 21 percent and currency translation deducted 3 percent, with the U.S. up 16 percent, Asia up 21 percent, and Europe up 11 percent. Underlying orders, which exclude the impact of currency translation, acquisitions, and divestitures, grew 5 percent in the quarter, led by 20 percent growth in the systems business, which was partially subdued by weakness in Europe and difficult comparisons. Segment margin of 24.3 percent increased 200 basis points from the prior year, primarily driven by volume leverage and cost reduction

benefits. Recovery of sales delayed by the Thailand flooding progressed as expected, contributing to strong volume leverage, and the supply chain distribution impact has now been fully recovered. Consecutive years of double-digit sales and orders growth in 2011 and 2012 reflect a strong process automation industry position built on technology innovation and integrated solutions. Looking ahead, continued project activity in oil and gas, chemical, and power end markets is expected to support solid growth in the near term that will drive another excellent year for Process Management.
Industrial Automation sales declined 6 percent during the quarter, as currency translation deducted 4 percent and global capital goods demand slowed, particularly in Europe. Underlying sales decreased 2 percent, as the U.S. and Asia were flat, and Europe declined 5 percent, with the most significant decrease in the power generating alternators and industrial motors business. The fluid automation, electrical distribution, and mechanical power transmission businesses had modest underlying sales growth that was more than offset by currency translation. Segment margin of 17.5 percent expanded 280 basis points from the prior year, primarily benefiting from cost containment programs and lower restructuring expense. The near term outlook is for sluggish end market demand, especially in Europe, which represents approximately 40 percent of segment sales. The strong profitability underscores a well-positioned cost structure poised for further gains when demand recovers, but in the near term sales growth will be a challenge.
Network Power sales decreased 4 percent in the fourth quarter, as weakness continued in telecommunications and information technology end markets. Underlying sales declined 3 percent, as currency translation deducted 2 percent and acquisitions added 1 percent, with the U.S. down 7 percent, Asia up 5 percent, and Europe down 9 percent. In the network power systems business, underlying sales, which exclude unfavorable currency translation, grew slightly, as execution of the National Broadband Network project in Australia and solid growth in Latin America offset broader weakness in data center markets. Market pressures continued in the embedded computing and power business, where a double-digit sales decrease reflected persistent weakness in demand and structural challenges in the industry. The previously mentioned goodwill impairment charge, the significant majority of which relates to this business, was due to

the sustained weakness in these end markets. Management and the Board of Directors have discussed the unique market and technology challenges facing the embedded computing and power business, and concluded that the Company will pursue strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, including a potential sale of this $1.4 billion sales business. Segment margin of 11.6 percent declined 190 basis points from the prior year, primarily due to volume deleverage and restructuring expense. Profitability improved 130 basis points sequentially, benefiting from cost reductions and higher sales in the network power systems business, providing favorable momentum moving into next year.
Climate Technologies sales declined 4 percent, as global HVAC end markets reflected mixed demand across businesses and geographies, with soft industry conditions overall. Underlying sales declined 3 percent, as currency translation deducted 2 percent and acquisitions added 1 percent, with the U.S. down 4 percent, Asia down 7 percent, and Europe down 1 percent. In the U.S., residential, commercial, and refrigeration end markets all exhibited weakness, with the decline in the transportation refrigeration business particularly severe. Sales in China continued to decrease, as weak residential demand was partially offset by strength in commercial end markets. Deterioration in Europe slowed as comparisons eased, but demand remained under pressure. Segment margin of 18.5 percent increased 150 basis points from the prior year. While global market conditions are expected to remain uneven and generally sluggish in the near term, a strong technology position and cost structure has prepared this business for a difficult global environment.
Commercial & Residential Solutionssales were unchanged in the quarter, as underlying sales increased 5 percent, offset by the divested Knaack business (4 percent) and currency translation (1 percent). The commercial storage and food waste disposers businesses reported strong growth driven by U.S. commercial and residential markets. Segment margin of 21.9 percent improved 130 basis points from the prior year, primarily benefiting from cost containment programs. The segment is strongly positioned to deliver excellent profitability as North America residential end markets continue steady improvement in the near term.

2013 Outlook
Orders have slowed as near-term business investment has become more cautious and market visibility has deteriorated due to economic uncertainty in the U.S., China and Europe. This has resulted in a challenging and tenuous planning environment. Based on current market conditions with slowing economic momentum, reported and underlying sales in 2013 are expected to grow at a rate in a low-single-digit range of 0 to 5 percent. Excluding the goodwill impairment, EBIT margin is expected to improve 10 to 20 basis points3, which would result in earnings per share growth in the mid-to-high single digits from $3.39 in 2012. The majority of sales and earnings growth is expected to be realized in the first half of the year, due in large part to the quarterly impact of the Thailand flooding in 2012. Business segment and other financial metric forecasts for 2013 will be provided at the annual investor conference in February 2013.
