May 2007 Order Comments:
Order growth remained at 10 percent for the three months ended in May. Increases at Process Management and Network Power were offset by declines at Industrial Automation and Appliance and Tools. Favorable currency exchange rates contributed nearly 3 percentage points to the increase.
Process Management maintained double-digit order growth led by spending from the global energy markets. Order growth was strong across the valve, systems and measurement businesses.
Industrial Automation also maintained double-digit order growth and was led by the power generating alternator and electronic drives businesses. Orders benefited from the weaker dollar.
Order growth for Network Power increased to the range of 10 to 15 percent. The uninterruptible power supply, precision cooling and China power systems businesses continued to provide strong growth and telecom orders turned positive for the three months ended in May.
Climate Technologies maintained strong order growth. The growth was driven by international demand, with particular strength from Europe and Asia.
Appliance and Tools orders were flat for the three months ended in May. Moderate growth from the tools and storage businesses was offset by negative orders from the motors and appliance businesses.
Upcoming Investor Events:
On Tuesday, August 7, 2007, Emerson will issue the Company’s third quarter 2007 results. Emerson senior management will discuss the results during an investor conference call that will be held the same day. The call will begin at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (1:00 p.m. Central Daylight Time).
