Emerson GAAP Underlying Orders – 3 Month Summary

(Percent change.  Trailing 3-month average versus prior year.)

May 2011 Order Comments:

Order growth remained solid, led by strength in the capital goods businesses.  Emerson’s trailing three-month orders excluding currency improved slightly versus last month even as prior year comparisons got more challenging.  Currency exchange rates positively impacted orders by approximately 7 percentage points.  Comparisons will continue to get increasingly challenging over the next several months.  As we communicated at the Electrical Products Group conference in May, we expect order trends excluding currency to stay in the 7 to 10 percent range for the balance of the year.

Process Management order growth remained strong, led by solid oil and gas end market demand and MRO activity.  Order growth is moderating from very high levels and comparisons will be more difficult going forward.  Currency exchange rates positively impacted Process Management orders by 14 percentage points.

Industrial Automation order trends remained solid as global capital goods markets continued to lead the recovery.  Orders in the power generating alternators business were strong.  Order growth trends continued to moderate from very high prior year levels.  Favorable currency exchange rates positively impacted orders by 7 percentage points.

Network Power orders continued to show improvement and increased to the range of 5 to 10 percent in the trailing three-month period.  Order growth in the Network Power business in Asia increased at a double-digit pace.  The embedded power business turned slightly positive against very challenging prior year comparisons.  Trailing three-month order rates for the uninterruptible power supply business were solid and continued to show improvement.

Climate Technologies order growth was led by strength in global refrigeration end markets, including industrial refrigeration and global transportation, partially offset by a decline in the temperature controls business.  U.S. residential markets remained slightly positive, but slowed due to spring inventory builds and cooler weather in May.  Orders in Asia were also slightly positive versus a challenging prior year comparison.

Tools and Storage trailing three-month orders remained consistent with the prior month.  Growth continued to be led by non-residential construction-related businesses.
