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, 2021. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation to reflect the business combination with AspenTech (see Note 4), which is reported as a new segment and includes the historical results of Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business. These businesses were previously reported in the Automation Solutions segment (see Note 13).

Effective October 1, 2021, the Company adopted three accounting standard updates which had an immaterial or no impact on the Company's financial statements as of and for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. These included:

•Updates to ASC 805, Business Combinations, which clarify the accounting for contract assets and liabilities assumed in a business combination. In general, this will result in contract liabilities being recognized at their historical amounts under ASC 606, rather than at fair value in accordance with the general requirements of ASC 805.

•Updates to ASC 740, Income Taxes, which require the recognition of a franchise tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax with any incremental amount as a non-income based tax. These updates also make certain changes to intra-period tax allocation principles and interim tax calculations.

•Updates to ASC 321, Equity Securities, ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which clarify how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when evaluating observable transactions.

(2) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Emerson is a global manufacturer that combines technology and engineering to provide innovative solutions to its customers, largely in the form of tangible products. The vast majority of the Company's revenues relate to a broad offering of manufactured products 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 13 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, 2021			June 30, 2022
Unbilled receivables (contract assets)		$	528		1,323
Customer advances (contract liabilities)		(730)			(917)
Net contract assets (liabilities)		$	(202)		406

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 sold by AspenTech where the license revenue is recognized upfront upon delivery. The change in the net contract balance was due to the AspenTech acquisition, which added net contract assets of approximately $700, partially offset by an increase in net contract liabilities for the Company's existing businesses due to customer billings exceeding revenue recognized for performance completed during the period.

Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 included $63 and $519 that was included in the beginning contract liability balance. Other factors that impacted the change in net contract liabilities were immaterial. Revenue recognized for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022 for performance obligations that were satisfied in previous periods, including cumulative catchup adjustments on the Company's long-term contracts, was not material.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company's backlog relating to unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations in contracts with its customers was approximately $8.5 billion, which includes approximately $700 related to the AspenTech acquisition. AspenTech's remaining performance obligations primarily relate to software maintenance in long-term contracts for unspecified future software updates provided on a when-and-if available basis. The Company expects to recognize approximately 80 percent of its remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months, with the remainder substantially over the following two years.

(3) COMMON SHARES AND SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Reconciliations of weighted-average shares for basic and diluted earnings per common share follow. Earnings allocated to participating securities were inconsequential.


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Nine Months Ended June 30,
	2021	2022	2021	2022

Basic shares outstanding	598.2	592.8	598.7	593.6
Dilutive shares	3.9	3.4	3.6	3.3
Diluted shares outstanding	602.1	596.2	602.3	596.9

The Company changed the terms of its annual performance share awards issued in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The new terms meet the criteria for equity classification in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, and therefore expense will be recognized on a fixed basis over the three-year performance period. The terms of the performance share awards issued in fiscal 2020 and 2021 are unchanged and will therefore continue to be accounted for as liability awards and marked-to-market each period based on changes in the stock price.

As discussed in Note 4, Emerson completed the acquisition of AspenTech in the third quarter of fiscal 2022. New AspenTech, as defined in Note 4, operates as a separate publicly traded company and has various stock-based compensation plans, including stock options and restricted stock units, which are settled in their own common stock and are accounted for as equity awards. Stock compensation expense for New AspenTech was $15 for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022.

(4) ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

Aspen Technology

On May 16, 2022, the Company completed the transactions contemplated by its definitive agreement with Aspen Technology, Inc. ("AspenTech") to contribute two of Emerson's stand-alone industrial software businesses, Open Systems International, Inc. and the Geological Simulation Software business (collectively, the “Emerson Industrial Software Business”), along with approximately $6.0 billion in cash to AspenTech stockholders, to create "New AspenTech", a diversified, high-performance industrial software leader with greater scale, capabilities and technologies. Upon closing of the transaction, Emerson beneficially owned 55 percent of the outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock (on a fully diluted basis) and former AspenTech stockholders owned the remaining outstanding shares of New AspenTech common stock. New AspenTech and its subsidiaries now operate under AspenTech’s previous name “Aspen Technology, Inc.” and New AspenTech common stock is traded on NASDAQ under AspenTech’s previous stock ticker symbol “AZPN.”

The business combination has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Emerson considered the accounting acquirer of AspenTech. The net assets of AspenTech were recorded at their estimated fair value and the Emerson Industrial Software Business continues at its historical basis. The Company recorded a noncontrolling interest of $5.9 billion for the 45 percent ownership interest of former AspenTech stockholders in New AspenTech. The noncontrolling interest associated with the AspenTech acquired net assets was recorded at fair value determined using the closing market price per share of AspenTech as of May 16, 2022, while the portion attributable

to the Emerson Industrial Software business was recorded at its historical carrying amount. The impact of recognizing the noncontrolling interest in the Emerson Industrial Software Business resulted in a decrease to additional paid-in-capital of $550.

The following table summarizes the components of the purchase consideration reflected in the acquisition accounting using AspenTech's shares outstanding and closing market price per share as of May 16, 2022 (in millions except share and per share data):


AspenTech shares outstanding	66,662,482
AspenTech share price	$	166.30
Purchase price	$	11,086
Value of stock-based compensation awards attributable to pre-combination service	102
Total purchase consideration	$	11,188

The total purchase consideration for AspenTech was preliminarily allocated to assets and liabilities as follows. Valuations of acquired assets and liabilities are in-process and subject to refinement.


Cash and equivalents	$	274
Receivables	61
Other current assets	262
Property, plant equipment	4
Goodwill ($34 expected to be tax-deductible)	7,223
Other intangible assets	4,390
Other assets	511
Total assets	12,725

Short-term borrowings	27
Accounts payable	8
Accrued expenses	113
Long-term debt	253
Deferred taxes and other liabilities	1,136
Total purchase consideration	$	11,188

Emerson's cash contribution of approximately $6.0 billion was paid out at approximately $87.69 per share (on a fully diluted basis) to holders of issued and outstanding shares of AspenTech common stock as of the closing of the transactions, with $168 of cash remaining on New AspenTech's balance sheet as of the closing which is not included in the allocation of purchase consideration above.

The estimated intangible assets attributable to the transaction are comprised of the following (in millions):


	Amount		Estimated Weighted Average Life (Years)
Developed technology	$	1,350	10
Customer relationships	2,300		15
Trade names	430		Indefinite-lived
Backlog	310		3
Total	$	4,390

Results of operations for the third quarter of 2022 attributable to the AspenTech acquisition include sales of $173 while the impact to GAAP net earnings was not material.

Pro Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited proforma consolidated condensed financial results of operations are presented as if the acquisition of AspenTech occurred on October 1, 2020. The pro forma information is presented for informational purposes only and is not indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved had the acquisition occurred as of that time ($ in millions, except per share amounts).


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Nine Months Ended June 30,
		2021		2022		2021	2022
Net Sales		$	4,895	5,060		13,884	14,683
Net earnings common stockholders		$	614	964		1,480	2,517
Diluted earnings per share		$	1.02	1.62		2.46	4.21

The pro forma results for the nine months ended June 30, 2021 include $159 of transaction costs which were assumed to be incurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2021. Of these transaction costs, $61 and $91 were included in the Company's reported results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, but have been excluded from the fiscal 2022 pro forma results above. In addition, AspenTech incurred $68 of transaction costs prior to the completion of the acquisition that were not included in Emerson's reported results. The pro forma results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2021 include estimated interest expense of $37 and $110, respectively, related to the issuance of $3 billion of term debt and increased commercial paper borrowings to fund the acquisition, while results for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 include additional interest expense of $56 to reflect the increased borrowings as if they were outstanding for the entire fiscal year.

Other Transactions

On August 8, 2022 the Company announced an agreement to sell its InSinkErator business, which manufactures food waste disposers and is reported in the Tools & Home Products segment, to Whirlpool Corporation for $3.0 billion. This business had sales and pretax earnings of $565 and $143 in fiscal 2021 and $480 and $117 for the nine months ended June 30, 2022. The assets and liabilities of InSinkErator were classified as held-for-sale as of June 30, 2022 and are included in other current assets, other assets, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The transaction is expected to close in fiscal 2023, subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

On July 27, 2022, New AspenTech entered into an agreement to acquire Micromine, a global leader in design and operational solutions for the mining industry, for AU$900 (approximately $623 USD). The transaction is expected to close by the end of calendar 2022, subject to various regulatory approvals.

On May 31, 2022 the Company completed the divestiture of its Therm-O-Disc sensing and protection technologies business, which was reported in the Climate Technologies segment, to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $483 ($428 after-tax, $0.72 per share).

On May 4, 2022, Emerson announced its intention to exit business operations in Russia and divest Metran, its Russia-based manufacturing subsidiary. Emerson's historical net sales in Russia were principally in the Automation Solutions segment and in total, represented approximately 1.5 percent of consolidated annual sales. In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company recognized a pretax loss of $162 ($174 after-tax, in total $0.29 per share) related to its exit of business operations in Russia. This charge, which included a loss of $32 in operations and $130 reported in Other deductions ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs), is primarily non-cash. Emerson is committed to an orderly transfer of these assets and will support its employees through this process.

On October 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of Open Systems International, Inc. ("OSI"), a leading operations technology software provider in the global power industry, for approximately $1.6 billion, net of cash acquired. This business, which had net sales of $191 in fiscal 2021 and is now reported in the AspenTech segment, expanded the Company's offerings in the power industry to include the digitization and modernization of the electric grid. The Company recognized goodwill of $967 (none of which is expected to be tax deductible), identifiable intangible assets of $783, primarily intellectual property and customer relationships with a weighted-average useful life

of approximately 11 years, and deferred tax liabilities of approximately $193. Results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 included first year pre-tax acquisition accounting charges related to backlog amortization and deferred revenue of $7 and $3, respectively, while year-to-date results included $24 and $11, respectively.

As previously disclosed, the Company sold its network power systems business (rebranded as Vertiv, now a publicly traded company, symbol VRT) in 2017 and retained a subordinated interest contingent upon the equity holders first receiving a threshold cash return on their initial investment. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the equity holders' cumulative cash return exceeded the threshold and as a result, the Company received a distribution of $438 in November 2021 (in total, a gain of $453 was recognized in the first quarter). Based on the terms of the agreement and the current calculation, the Company could receive additional distributions of approximately $75 which are expected to be received over the next two-to-three years. However, the distributions are contingent on the timing and price at which Vertiv shares are sold by the equity holders and therefore, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of the remaining distributions to the Company.

(7) RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Restructuring expense reflects costs associated with the Company’s ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and deploy assets globally in order to remain competitive on a worldwide basis. Expenses incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 included costs related to workforce reductions of approximately 1,400 employees. The Company expects fiscal 2022 restructuring expense and related costs to be approximately $150, including costs to complete actions initiated in the first nine months of the year.

(8) TAXES

Income taxes were $243 in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 and $151 in 2021, resulting in effective tax rates of 20 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Favorable net discrete tax items decreased the tax rates by 2 and 3 percentage points, respectively.

Income taxes were $659 for the first nine months of 2022 and $431 for 2021, resulting in effective tax rates of 21 percent and 21 percent, respectively. The current year rate included a 2 percentage point benefit related to the completion of tax examinations, partially offset by portfolio restructuring activities which negatively impacted the rate by 1 percentage points, while the prior year had favorable net discrete items which reduced the rate 1 percentage point.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and among other things, provides tax relief to businesses. Tax provisions of the CARES Act include the deferral of certain payroll taxes, relief for retaining employees, and other provisions. The Company deferred $73 of certain payroll taxes through the end of calendar year 2020, of which approximately $37 was paid in December 2021 with the remaining amount due in December 2022.

(10) DEBT

In December 2021, the Company issued $1 billion of 2.0% notes due December 2028, $1 billion of 2.2% notes due December 2031, and $1 billion of 2.8% notes due December 2051. The Company's commercial paper borrowings also increased by approximately $2.4 billion compared to September 30, 2021. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes and the increased commercial paper borrowings to fund the majority of its contribution of approximately $6.0 billion to existing stockholders of AspenTech as part of the transaction discussed further in Note 4.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the Company repaid $500 of 2.625% notes that matured.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2022, the acquisition of AspenTech increased the Company's long-term debt by approximately $250. See Note 4.

(11) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Hedging Activities – As of June 30, 2022, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $2.1 billion, and commodity hedge contracts totaled approximately $170 (primarily 45 million pounds of copper and aluminum). All derivatives receiving hedge accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of June 30, 2022 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. 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, 2021 and 2022:


		Into Earnings					Into OCI
		3rd Quarter			Nine Months		3rd Quarter		Nine Months
Gains (Losses)	Location	2021		2022	2021	2022	2021	2022	2021	2022
Commodity	Cost of sales	$	13	5	24	18	8	(32)	34	(9)
Foreign currency	Sales	—		(1)	2	—	—	(3)	3	(5)
Foreign currency	Cost of sales	3		10	5	21	1	15	28	32
Foreign currency	Other deductions, net	8		56	33	108

Net Investment Hedges
Euro denominated debt							6	84	(21)	163
Total		$	24	70	64	147	15	64	44	181

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, 2022, the fair value of long-term debt was $8.1 billion, which was lower than the carrying value by $816. The fair values of commodity and foreign currency contracts were reported in Other current assets and Accrued expenses and did not materially change since September 30, 2021.

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, 2022.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

(Dollars are in millions, except per share amounts or where noted)

OVERVIEW

For the third quarter of fiscal 2022, net sales were $5.0 billion, up 7 percent compared with the prior year. Underlying sales, which exclude foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures, were up 7 percent. The AspenTech acquisition added 4 percent and divestitures deducted 1 percent, while foreign currency translation had a 3 percent unfavorable impact. Sales growth continued to be strong in the quarter, benefiting from strong results in North America, despite headwinds due to the impact of lockdowns in China and supply chain and logistics constraints.

Net earnings common stockholders were $921, up 47 percent, and diluted earnings per share were $1.54, up 48 percent compared with $1.04 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.38 compared with $1.19 in the prior year, reflecting strong operating results and a $0.08 benefit related to the AspenTech acquisition.

The table below presents the Company's diluted earnings per share 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 excludes intangibles amortization expense, restructuring expense, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction and AspenTech pre-closing costs, and certain gains, losses or impairments.

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $5.0 billion, up 7 percent compared with 2021. Automation Solutions sales were flat, Commercial & Residential Solutions sales were up 8 percent and AspenTech sales were up 189 percent. Underlying sales were up 7 percent on 1 percent higher volume and 6 percent higher price, while foreign currency translation had a 3 percent negative impact. The AspenTech acquisition added 4 percent, while divestitures deducted 1 percent. Underlying sales were up 15 percent in the U.S. and up 1 percent internationally. The Americas was up 14 percent, Europe was flat and Asia, Middle East & Africa was down 1 percent (China down 6 percent due to the impact of lockdowns).

Cost of sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $2,908, an increase of $193 compared with 2021, due to higher sales volume and higher materials costs. Gross margin of 41.9 percent decreased 0.3 percentage points, as freight and other inflation negatively impacted margins, while price less net material inflation was favorable but had a dilutive impact on margins. The AspenTech acquisition benefited gross margin by 1.6 percentage points, while the Russia business exit negatively impacted gross margin by 0.6 percentage points.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses of $1,052 decreased $21 and SG&A as a percent of sales decreased 1.9 percentage points to 21.0 percent compared with the prior year, reflecting leverage on higher sales and lower stock compensation expense of $50, partially offset by higher wage and other inflation.

On May 31, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Therm-O-Disc sensing and protection technologies business to an affiliate of One Rock Capital Partners, LLC. The Company recognized a pretax gain of $483 ($428 after-tax, $0.72 per share). See Note 4.

Other deductions, net were $283 in 2022, an increase of $195 compared with the prior year, reflecting a charge of $130 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs). Acquisition/divestiture costs of $61 and a favorable impact from foreign currency transactions of $14 also impacted comparisons. Intangibles amortization was higher by $27, as the current year included $32 related to the AspenTech acquisition, while the prior year included backlog amortization of $7 related to the OSI acquisition. See Notes 6 and 7.

Pretax earnings of $1,195 increased $411, up 52 percent compared with the prior year. Earnings increased $11 in Automation Solutions, $55 in AspenTech and $32 in Commercial & Residential Solutions, while costs reported at Corporate increased $157 largely due to the Russia business exit loss. See the Business Segments discussion that follows and Note 13.

Net earnings common stockholders in the third quarter of fiscal 2022 were $921, up 47 percent, compared with $627 in the prior year, and earnings per share were $1.54, up 48 percent, compared with $1.04 in the prior year. See discussion in the Overview above and the analysis below of adjusted earnings per share for further details.

The table below, which shows results on an adjusted EBITA basis, is intended to supplement the Company's discussion of its results of operations herein. The Company defines adjusted EBITA as earnings excluding interest expense, net, income taxes, intangibles amortization expense, restructuring expense, first year purchase accounting related items and transaction fees, and certain gains, losses or impairments. Adjusted EBITA and adjusted EBITA margin are measures used by management and may be useful for investors to evaluate the Company's operational performance.

Automation Solutions sales were $2,872 in the third quarter, essentially flat compared with the prior year. Foreign currency translation had a 4 percent unfavorable impact. Underlying sales increased 4 percent on 1 percent higher volume and 3 percent higher price, reflecting strength in North America partially offset by softness in Asia, Middle East & Africa. Overall, demand remained steady during the quarter, but lockdowns in China, electronic component shortages, and other supply chain and logistics constraints unfavorably impacted sales. Underlying sales increased 12 percent in the Americas (U.S. up 14 percent), as process end markets remained strong, while Europe, which was negatively impacted by the business exit from Russia, was down 2 percent, and Asia, Middle East & Africa decreased 3 percent (China down 2 percent). Sales for Measurement & Analytical Instrumentation increased $4, or 1 percent as market conditions remained strong for North American process industries, offset by weakness in Asia, Middle East & Africa due to component shortages and other supply chain constraints. Valves, Actuators & Regulators increased $25, or 3 percent, reflecting strength in chemical end markets, partially offset by the impact of lockdowns in China. Industrial Solutions sales were down $18, or 3 percent, reflecting unfavorable currency translation and the impact of lockdowns in China, partially offset by strength in North America. Systems & Software decreased $4, or 1 percent, reflecting unfavorable currency translation and the impact of component shortages. Results were strong in North America, offset by weakness in Europe. Earnings were $530, an increase of $11, or 2 percent, and margin increased 0.4 percentage points to 18.5 percent, reflecting leverage on higher volume, favorable mix and savings from cost reduction actions. Price less net material inflation was slightly favorable, while freight and other inflation negatively impacted margin.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30

Following is an analysis of the Company’s operating results for the nine months ended June 30, 2021, compared with the nine months ended June 30, 2022.

Percent of sales	12.3		%	17.5	%	5.2 pts


Diluted earnings per share	$	2.71		4.17		54	%

Net sales for the first nine months of 2022 were $14.3 billion, up 7 percent compared with 2021. Automation Solutions sales were up 3 percent, Commercial & Residential Solutions sales were up 11 percent and AspenTech sales were up 69 percent. Underlying sales were up 9 percent on 5 percent higher volume and 4 percent higher price, and foreign currency translation subtracted 2 percent. Underlying sales increased 14 percent in the U.S. and increased 1 percent internationally. The Americas was up 13 percent, Europe was up 1 percent and Asia, Middle East & Africa was up 4 percent (China up 6 percent).

Cost of sales for 2022 were $8,398, an increase of $676 versus $7,722 in 2021, primarily due to higher sales volume and higher materials costs. Gross margin of 41.1 percent decreased 0.8 percentage points compared to the prior year, as price less net material inflation was slightly favorable but had a dilutive impact on margins and higher freight and other inflation also negatively impacted margins, partially offset by favorable mix. The AspenTech acquisition benefited gross margin by 0.6 percentage points, while the Russia business exit negatively impacted gross margin by 0.2 percentage points.

SG&A expenses of $3,112 decreased $13 compared with the prior year, reflecting lower stock compensation expense of $84, partially offset by the impact of higher sales. SG&A as a percent of sales decreased 1.7 percentage points to 21.8 percent, reflecting leverage on higher sales and lower stock compensation expense.

Other deductions, net were $374 in 2022, an increase of $131 compared with the prior year, reflecting a charge of $130 related to the Company exiting its business in Russia ($9 of which is reported in restructuring costs) and acquisition/divestiture costs of $97. These items were partially offset by a favorable impact from foreign currency transactions of $48 and gains from the sales of capital assets of $15 in the first quarter of fiscal 2022. The prior year also included investment-related gains, including a gain of $21 from an investment sale, a $17 gain from the acquisition of full ownership of an equity investment and a gain of $31 on the sale of an equity investment. Intangibles amortization was flat as the current year included $32 related to the AspenTech acquisition, while the prior year included backlog amortization of $24 related to the OSI acquisition. See Notes 6 and 7.

Pretax earnings of $3,181 increased $1,097, or 53 percent. Earnings increased $264 in Automation Solutions, $52 in AspenTech and $29 in Commercial & Residential Solutions, while costs reported at Corporate increased $159 largely due to the Russia business exit loss. See the Business Segments discussion that follows and Note 13.

Net earnings common stockholders in 2022 were $2,491, up 53 percent compared with the prior year, and earnings per share were $4.17, up 54 percent compared with $2.71 in 2021. Results reflected strong operating results and included a pretax gain of $453 ($358 after-tax, $0.60 per share) related to the Company's subordinated interest in Vertiv and a pretax gain of $483 ($428 after-tax, $0.72 per share) related to the Therm-O-Disc divestiture. See the analysis below of adjusted earnings per share for further details.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Key elements of the Company's financial condition for the nine months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the year ended September 30, 2021 and the nine months ended June 30, 2021 follow.


	June 30, 2021			Sept 30, 2021			June 30, 2022
Operating working capital	$	714		$	704		$	1,261
Current ratio	1.3			1.3			1.1
Total debt-to-total capital	44.0		%	40.3		%	52.9		%
Net debt-to-net capital	32.4		%	30.4		%	46.8		%
Interest coverage ratio	17.8		X	18.6		X	21.1		X

The Company's operating working capital increased compared to the same quarter last year and compared to September 30, 2021 due to higher inventory levels to support sales growth and reflecting ongoing supply chain and logistics constraints. In addition, the AspenTech acquisition increased operating working capital by approximately $250. As of June 30, 2022, Emerson's cash and equivalents totaled $2,529, which included $450 attributable to New AspenTech. The cash held by New AspenTech is intended to be used for its own purposes and is not a readily available source of liquidity for other Emerson general business purposes or to return to Emerson shareholders.

The decrease in the current ratio reflects the increase in commercial paper borrowings discussed below. The interest coverage ratio (earnings before income taxes plus interest expense, divided by interest expense) of 21.1X for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 compares to 17.8X for the nine months ended June 30, 2021. The increase reflects higher pretax earnings in the current year, which included the Vertiv subordinated interest gain of $453, the gain on the Therm-O-Disc divestiture of $483, and the Russia business exit loss of $162. Excluding these items, the interest coverage ratio was 16.2X, reflecting higher interest expense due to the increased long-term debt and commercial paper borrowings to fund the AspenTech acquisition.

Operating cash flow for the first nine months of fiscal 2022 was $1,705, a decrease of $1,015 compared with $2,720 in the prior year, reflecting higher working capital due to increased sales and continued supply chain constraints. Operating cash flow was also negatively impacted by approximately $68 of taxes paid on the Vertiv subordinated interest gain. The remaining taxes owed on the gain are approximately $27 and are expected to be paid by the end of fiscal 2022. Free cash flow of $1,370 in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 (operating cash flow of $1,705 less capital expenditures of $335) decreased $1,000 compared to free cash flow of $2,370 in 2021 (operating cash flow of $2,720 less capital expenditures of $350), reflecting the decrease in operating cash flow. Cash used in investing activities was $4,975, reflecting $5.6 billion of cash paid, net of cash acquired related to the AspenTech acquisition, partially offset by the Vertiv gain and proceeds from the Therm-O-Disc divestiture. Cash provided by financing activities was $3,557, primarily due to proceeds of nearly $3 billion from the December 2021 debt issuance and increased commercial paper borrowings of $2.4 billion to fund the AspenTech transaction, partially offset by the repayment of $500 of long-term debt, dividend payments, and share repurchases.

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 $37 billion and stockholders' equity of $10 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 2022 OUTLOOK

Emerson continues to see strong demand for the Company's technology, software and solutions. The outlook for fiscal 2022 reflects the impacts of the AspenTech and Therm-O-Disc transactions and write-offs associated with the Russia business exit, and considers continued macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain constraints, exchange rate fluctuations and challenges related to COVID-19. For the full year, consolidated net sales are expected to be up 7 to 8 percent, with underlying sales up 9 to 10 percent excluding a 2 to 3 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, a 1 to 2 percent favorable impact from acquisitions and a 1 percent deduction from divestitures. Automation Solutions net sales are expected to be up 4 to 5 percent, with underlying sales up 6 to 7 percent excluding a 2 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. Commercial & Residential Solutions net sales are expected to be up 9 to 10 percent with underlying sales up 13 to 14 percent excluding a 1 percent unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation and a 3 percent negative impact from divestitures. Earnings per share are expected to be $5.25 to $5.35, while adjusted earnings per share are expected to be $5.05 to $5.15. Adjusted earnings per share exclude a $0.20 impact from restructuring actions, a $0.47 impact from amortization of intangibles, a $0.60 gain from the Vertiv subordinated interest (see Note 4), a $0.72 gain from the sale of Therm-O-Disc (see Note 4), a $0.29 loss from the Company exiting business in Russia (see Note 4) and a $0.16 impact from transaction and AspenTech pre-closing costs. Operating cash flow is expected to be approximately $3.0 billion and free cash flow, which excludes projected capital spending of $525 million, is expected to be approximately $2.5 billion. Share repurchases are expected to be approximately $500 million in fiscal 2022.

These risks and uncertainties include the the Company's ability to successfully complete on the terms and conditions contemplated, and the financial impact of, the proposed sale of its InSinkErator food waste disposal business, the financial impact of the AspenTech acquisition, the scope, duration and ultimate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as economic and currency conditions, market demand, including related to the pandemic and oil and gas price declines and volatility, pricing, protection of intellectual property, cybersecurity, tariffs, competitive and technological factors, 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, 2021 and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
