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, 2023.
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion and its note receivable to Copeland for $1.9 billion. As a result of the definitive agreements, the equity interest and note receivable are reported as held-for-sale, and the equity method losses related to the Company's non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland, which were reported since May 2023 in Other deductions, net, have been reclassified and are now reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Notes 5 and 10).
(2) REVENUE RECOGNITION
Emerson is a global manufacturer that designs and manufactures products and delivers services that bring technology and engineering together to provide innovative solutions for its customers. The majority of the Company's revenues relate to a broad offering of manufactured products and software 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, 2023 | | June 30, 2024 |
Unbilled receivables (contract assets) | | $ | 1,453 | | | | 1,541 | |
Customer advances (contract liabilities) | | (897) | | | | (1,158) | |
Net contract assets (liabilities) | | $ | 556 | | | | 383 | |
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 where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. The decrease in net contract assets was primarily due to the acquisition of National Instruments, which increased contract liabilities by approximately $160, while customer billings slightly exceeded revenue recognized for performance completed during the period. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 included $83 and $605, 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, 2024 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was immaterial.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $8.7 billion (of which approximately $1.3 billion was attributable to AspenTech and approximately $450 was attributable to National Instruments). The Company expects to recognize approximately 75 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the following two years.

The pro forma results for the three months ended June 30, 2023 include ongoing intangibles amortization of $105 and backlog amortization of $34, and exclude the mark-to-market gain of $12 recognized in the prior year on the Company's equity investment in National Instruments Corporation (see Note 7).
The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 include transaction costs of $198 which were assumed to be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2023. These transaction costs include $88 incurred by NI prior to the completion of the transaction and $110 incurred by Emerson in periods subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2023. The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2023 also include $317 of ongoing intangibles amortization, backlog amortization of $102, inventory step-up amortization of $213, and retention bonuses of $51, and exclude the mark-to-market gain of $47 recognized in the prior year on the equity investment in National Instruments Corporation.

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.
(5) DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On May 31, 2023, the Company completed the 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, pretax cash proceeds of approximately $9.7 billion and a note receivable with a face value of $2.25 billion (which accrues 5 percent interest payable in kind by capitalizing interest), while retaining a 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest 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 in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 (approximately $8.4 billion after-tax including tax expense recognized prior to the completion of the transaction related to subsidiary restructurings). The new standalone business is named Copeland.
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion, and the transaction is expected to close by the end of August 2024. The equity method losses related to the Company's non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland, which were reported since May 2023 in Other deductions, net, have been reclassified and are now reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented and are included within Climate Technologies in Other deductions, net in the tables below. 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.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, the results of discontinued operations primarily reflect the Company's equity method losses on its non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland, which were $16 ($9 after-tax) and $111 ($82 after-tax), respectively. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2023, the financial results of Climate Technologies (including equity method losses on the equity interest in Copeland) and InSinkErator ("ISE") are reported as discontinued operations and were as follows:

(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, pretax 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.
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion and the note receivable to Copeland for $1.9 billion. The equity interest and note receivable, as well as $33 of future indemnity obligations included in Other liabilities (net of tax), are reported as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2024. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed the sale of the note receivable on August 2, 2024 and received $1.9 billion of pretax cash proceeds. The sale of the equity interest is expected to close by the end of August 2024.
The Company recognized non-cash interest income on the note receivable (through the date of the agreement) of $24 and $86 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, which is reported in Interest income from related party within continuing operations and capitalized to the carrying value of the note. Upon entering into the note agreement, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $279 ($217 after-tax, $0.38 per share) to adjust the carrying value of the note to $1.9 billion to reflect the transaction price.
The Company's share of Copeland's income or loss, which will continue to be recorded using the equity method of accounting until the transaction is completed, is now reported in discontinued operations for all periods presented (see Note 5). As of June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the retained equity investment was $1,008. Summarized financial information for Copeland for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 is as follows.

(12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Hedging Activities – As of June 30, 2024, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $3.1 billion. All derivatives receiving hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of June 30, 2024 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, of which €500 was repaid in the third quarter of fiscal 2024. 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, 2023 and 2024: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
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, 2024, the fair value of long-term debt was approximately $6.6 billion, which was lower than the carrying value by $1,012. The fair value of foreign currency contracts, which are reported in Other current assets and Accrued expenses, did not materially change since September 30, 2023. Commodity contracts related to discontinued operations and were novated to Copeland upon the completion of the transaction.
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, 2024.

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 October 11, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of National Instruments Corporation (“NI”), which is now referred to as Test & Measurement and reported as a new segment in the Software and Control business group. NI provides software-connected automated test and measurement systems that enable enterprises to bring products to market faster and at a lower cost, and had revenues of approximately $1.7 billion for the 12 months ended September 30, 2023. See Note 4.
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion and its note receivable to Copeland for $1.9 billion. Upon entering into the note agreement, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $279 ($217 after-tax, $0.38 per share) to adjust the carrying value of the note to $1.9 billion to reflect the transaction price. The equity method losses related to the Company's non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland, which were reported since May 2023 in Other deductions, net, have been reclassified and are now reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Notes 5 and 10 for further detail.
For the third quarter of fiscal 2024, net sales were $4.4 billion, up 11 percent compared with the prior year. Underlying sales, which exclude foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, were up 3 percent. Foreign currency translation had a 1 percent unfavorable impact and the Test & Measurement acquisition added 9 percent.
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $344, down 46 percent, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.60, down 46 percent compared with $1.12 in the prior year. The decrease was largely due to the Company's definitive agreement to sell its Copeland note receivable for $1.9 billion, which resulted in a pretax loss of $279 ($217 after-tax, $0.38 per share) to adjust the carrying value of the note to reflect the transaction price (see Note 10 and further discussion below). Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.43, up 11 percent compared with $1.29 in the prior year, reflecting sales growth and strong operating performance, as well as a $0.09 contribution from Test & Measurement.
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, and certain gains, losses or impairments.

Net sales for the first nine months of 2024 were $12.9 billion, up 16 percent compared with 2023. Intelligent Devices sales were up 5 percent, while Software and Control sales were up 51 percent, which included the impact of the Test & Measurement acquisition. Underlying sales were up 7 percent on 5 percent higher volume and 2 percent higher price. Foreign currency translation had a 0.5 percent unfavorable impact, the Test & Measurement acquisition added 10 percent and the divestiture of Metran deducted 0.5 percent. Underlying sales increased 3 percent in the U.S. and increased 10 percent internationally. The Americas was up 5 percent, Europe was up 9 percent and Asia, Middle East & Africa was up 9 percent (China was down 2 percent).
Cost of sales for 2024 were $6,359, an increase of $699 versus $5,660 in 2023, reflecting the impact of higher volume and the Test & Measurement acquisition. Gross margin of 50.6 percent increased 1.7 percentage points, reflecting the Test & Measurement acquisition, higher price and leverage on higher sales, partially offset by the impact from acquisition-related inventory step-up amortization of $231, which negatively impacted margins by approximately 1.8 percentage points.
SG&A expenses of $3,827 increased $755 and SG&A as a percent of sales increased 2.0 percentage points to 29.7 percent, reflecting the impact of the Test & Measurement acquisition, partially offset by strong operating leverage on higher sales and mix.
On June 6, 2024, the Company entered into definitive agreements to sell its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion and its note receivable to Copeland for $1.9 billion. Upon entering into the note agreement, the Company recorded a pretax loss of $279 ($217 after-tax, $0.38 per share) to adjust the carrying value of the note to $1.9 billion to reflect the transaction price. The equity method losses related to the Company's non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland, which were reported since May 2023 in Other deductions, net, have been reclassified and are now reported as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Notes 5 and 10 for further detail.
In the second quarter of fiscal 2024, the Company received its final distribution of $79 related to its subordinated interest in Vertiv.
Other deductions, net were $1,075 in 2024, an increase of $716 compared with the prior year. The current year included intangibles amortization related to the Test & Measurement acquisition of $419, restructuring costs of $170, acquisition/divestiture costs of $92, and a divestiture loss of $39. The prior year included a charge of $47 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia, acquisition/divestiture costs of $48, a mark-to-market gain of $47 related to the Company's equity investment in National Instruments Corporation and a mark-to-market gain of $24 related to foreign currency forward contracts that were terminated in June 2023. See Note 7 and Note 10.
Pretax earnings from continuing operations of $1,341 decreased $542 compared with prior year. Earnings increased $134 in Intelligent Devices and decreased $89 in Software and Control. See the Business Segments discussion that follows and Note 14.
Income taxes were $266 in the first nine of months of fiscal 2024 and $400 in 2023, resulting in effective tax rates of 20 percent and 21 percent, respectively. The current year rate included a $57 ($0.10 per share) benefit related to discrete tax items and a benefit related to the filing of the prior year U.S. tax return, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from inventory step-up amortization and the loss on divestiture (see Note 4), which was nondeductible for tax purposes. In total, the net impact of these items benefited the rate by approximately 2 percentage points, which was partially offset by other items.
Earnings from continuing operations attributable to common stockholders were $1,060, down 30 percent compared with the prior year, and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $1.84, down 29 percent compared with $2.60 in 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $4.01 compared with $3.15 in the prior year, up 27 percent. See the analysis below of adjusted earnings per share for further details.
Earnings (Loss) from discontinued operations were $(88) ($(0.15) per share), compared with $10,973 ($19.06 per share) in the prior year, reflecting the $8.4 billion after-tax gain on the Copeland transaction and the $2.1 billion after-tax gain on the InSinkErator divestiture. See Note 5.
Net earnings common stockholders were $972 ($1.69 per share) compared with $12,475 ($21.56 per share) in the prior year.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
Key elements of the Company's financial condition as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2023 and the nine months ended June 30, 2023 follow.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2023 | | Sept 30, 2023 | | June 30, 2024 |
Operating working capital | $ | (144) | | | $ | 1,283 | | | $ | 1,921 | |
Current ratio | 2.4 | | | 2.7 | | | 1.2 | |
Total debt-to-total capital | 28.9 | % | | 28.3 | % | | 32.7 | % |
Net debt-to-net capital | (8.8) | % | | 0.5 | % | | 27.3 | % |
Interest coverage ratio | 10.1 | X | | 12.1 | X | | 6.1 | X |
Operating working capital increased due to the acquisition of NI. As of June 30, 2024, Emerson's cash and equivalents totaled $2,298, which included approximately $240 attributable to AspenTech. The cash held by AspenTech is intended to be used for its own purposes and is not available to return to Emerson shareholders.
The current ratio decreased compared to September 30, 2023, reflecting the decrease in cash and increase in short-term borrowings used to support the NI acquisition. The interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes plus interest expense, divided by interest expense) of 6.1X for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 compares to 10.1X for the nine months ended June 30, 2023, reflecting lower GAAP pretax earnings largely due to the NI acquisition. Excluding the impact from acquisition-related inventory step-up amortization of $231, higher intangibles amortization of $454, acquisition/divestiture fees and related costs of $171, higher restructuring and related costs of $127, the loss of $279 on the Copeland note receivable and the gain on subordinated interest of $79, the interest coverage ratio was 10.7X.
Operating cash flow from continuing operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2024 was $2,244, an increase of $525 compared with $1,719 in the prior year, reflecting higher earnings (excluding the impact of items related to the NI acquisition and the loss on the Copeland note receivable) and favorable changes in working capital. Acquisition-related costs and integration activities negatively impacted operating cash flow in the current year by approximately $210. AspenTech generated operating cash flow of approximately $320 compared to approximately $295 in the prior year. Free cash flow from continuing operations of $1,993 in the first nine months of fiscal 2024 (operating cash flow of $2,244 less capital expenditures of $251) increased $468 compared to free cash flow of $1,525 in 2023 (operating cash flow of $1,719 less capital expenditures of $194), reflecting the increase in operating cash flow, partially offset by higher capital expenditures. Cash used in investing activities from continuing operations was $8,600, reflecting the acquisition of NI. Cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $583, reflecting an increase in short-term borrowings of $2,229, partially offset by the repayment of €500 of euro-denominated debt that was due in May 2024, share repurchases and dividends.
Total cash provided by operating activities was $2,248 including the impact of discontinued operations, and increased $968 compared with $1,280 in the prior year.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company completed the sale of its note receivable to Copeland on August 2, 2024 and received $1.9 billion of pretax cash proceeds. The Company expects the sale of its 40 percent non-controlling common equity interest in Copeland to private equity funds managed by Blackstone for $1.5 billion to close by the end of August 2024. The Company intends to use the approximately $2.9 billion of after-tax cash proceeds from both transactions to pay down its existing debt obligations.
Emerson maintains a conservative financial structure to provide the strength and flexibility necessary to achieve our strategic objectives and has been successful in efficiently deploying cash where needed worldwide to fund operations, complete acquisitions and sustain long-term growth. Emerson is in a strong financial position, with total assets of $46 billion and common stockholders' equity of $21 billion, and has the resources available for reinvestment in existing businesses, strategic acquisitions and managing its capital structure on a short- and long-term basis.
FISCAL 2024 OUTLOOK
For the full year, consolidated net sales from continuing operations are expected to be up approximately 15 percent, with underlying sales up approximately 6 percent excluding an approximate 9.5 percent impact from the NI acquisition and a 0.5 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency. Earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be $2.82 to $2.87, while adjusted earnings per share from continuing operations are expected to be $5.45 to $5.50 (see the following reconciliation).

These risks and uncertainties include the scope, duration and ultimate impacts of the Russia-Ukraine and other global conflicts, as well as economic and currency conditions, market demand, pricing, protection of intellectual property, cybersecurity, tariffs, competitive and technological factors, and inflation, among others, which are set forth in the “Risk Factors” of Part I, Item 1A, and the "Safe Harbor Statement" of Part II, Item 7, to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains a system of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported in a timely manner. This system also is designed to ensure information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company's certifying officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on an evaluation performed, the certifying officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures will detect or uncover all failures of persons within the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries to report material information otherwise required to be set forth in the Company's reports.
There was no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
