Emerson GAAP Underlying Orders - 13 Month Summary
(Percent change. Trailing 3-month average versus prior year)
Dec. '00 Order Comments:
Industrial Automation continues to be dampened by considerable negative currency
exchange. Excluding currency, growth is in the low to mid single-digits, with
Europe and Asia considerably stronger than the United States.
HVAC orders reflect an improved air conditioning environment driven by growth in
Asia and Latin America. Excluding the impact of currency, Europe also had solid
growth.
Electronics and Telecom orders continue to be very strong. Robust demand for
large UPS systems, OEM power supplies, DC/DC modules and cable assemblies is
offsetting fluctuations in demand in other areas. Overall, growth is strong in
the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America, with Europe considerably
stronger than it was in 2000.
Appliance and Tools orders reflect appliance-related issues and softer consumer
demand. Tool-related demand remains healthy overall, running at low to mid
single-digit levels.
Process orders reflect the continued success of PlantWeb and Emerson Performance
Solutions, along with area-specific recoveries in the overall global market,
with noticeable recent strengthening in natural gas-related projects.
