Management Commentary

“Emerson began the fiscal year on a strong note, exceeding first quarter expectations for incremental operating margins and earnings per share with strong cash flow generation,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “Our record gross profit margin and adjusted segment EBITA margin reflect the strength of our transformed industrial technology portfolio and Emerson Management System, as well as the talent and dedication of our world-class team.”

Karsanbhai continued, “We reiterate our guide for underlying sales, earnings per share and cash flow driven by resilient demand in process and hybrid markets, expected second half discrete recovery and our proven ability to execute. Our team remains energized, and we look forward to continuing the positive momentum across our business, including progressing in the final phase of our portfolio transformation.”
