“Fiscal 2022 was a transformational year for Emerson. We made significant progress on our portfolio and culture transformation while maintaining our world-class operational execution,” said Emerson President and Chief Executive Officer Lal Karsanbhai. “Today’s announcement to divest the Climate Technologies business is a critical milestone in positioning Emerson to be a global pure-play automation leader. We are energized by the growth and value creation opportunities enabled by our leading capabilities in intelligent devices, control systems and software.”

“Emerson closed out a strong 2022 with 9 percent growth in underlying sales and a 16 percent increase in adjusted earnings per share,” Karsanbhai continued. “Continued strength in automation demand and our robust backlog give us confidence in our 2023 sales guidance. Our operational execution will also lead to strong margins and cash flow conversion. Finally, I would like to thank our global employees for their hard work throughout 2022 and I look forward to future success as a global automation leader.”

2023 Updated Outlook

Following the announcement of its Climate Technologies divestiture, Emerson will report financial results for Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc as discontinued operations for all periods presented, beginning in 2023. The earnings from discontinued operations for 2023 are expected to be $10 billion to $11 billion, or $17 to $19 per share, including the net gains on 2023 divestitures.

The Company’s 2023 continuing operations after the Climate Technologies divestiture (assumed to close March 31, 2023 for the purposes of guidance) will include interest income from the $2.25 billion note receivable from Climate Technologies and reflect the 45% common equity ownership in the income, or loss, of Climate Technologies. Emerson will not control Climate Technologies post-closing and is therefore unable to estimate the amount of its 45% share of Climate Technologies’ post-close results. The Company will exclude the interest income from the note receivable from Climate Technologies and its share of Climate Technologies’ operations in its calculation of 2023 adjusted earnings per share. Also excluded from adjusted earnings per share is the interest income on any undeployed net proceeds. The effect of Emerson’s 45% share of Climate Technologies is expected to be immaterial to post-closing cash flows.

The 2023 outlook assumes approximately $1.2 billion of dividend payments and approximately $2 billion to be returned to shareholders through share repurchases.

The following tables summarize 2022 financials for continuing operations8 and fiscal year 2023 guidance framework for continuing operations8. Guidance figures are approximate.

Notes:

1 Underlying sales excludes the impact of currency translation, and acquisitions and divestitures completed through September 30, 2022 including Therm-O-Disc, heritage AspenTech and Emerson’s businesses contributed to AspenTech.

2 Adjusted EPS excludes restructuring, a gain on subordinated interest, first year purchase accounting, transaction and AspenTech pre-closing costs and charges, a gain from the Therm-O-Disc divestiture, write-offs associated with Emerson’s announced Russia exit, investment-related gains, an AspenTech Micromine purchase price hedge and intangibles amortization expense.

3 Adjusted EBITA margin excludes restructuring, a gain on subordinated interest, first year purchase accounting, transaction and AspenTech pre-closing costs and charges, a gain from the Therm-O-Disc divestiture, write-offs associated with Emerson’s announced Russia exit, investment-related gains, an AspenTech Micromine purchase price hedge and intangibles amortization expense.

4 Automation Solutions net sales, backlog, segment EBIT margin and adjusted segments EBITA margin does not include Emerson’s businesses contributed to AspenTech, which have been reclassified to the AspenTech segment.

5 Trailing three-month underlying orders does not include Therm-O-Disc (divested and previously reported in Commercial & Residential Solutions) or Emerson’s businesses contributed to AspenTech (previously reported in Automation Solutions).

6 Adjusted segment EBITA margin excludes restructuring and intangible amortization expense.

7 The AspenTech segment includes the full year results for Emerson’s businesses contributed to AspenTech and the heritage AspenTech business as of May 16, 2022, the date upon which the Company acquired its majority equity ownership interest in AspenTech.

8 Following the announcement of its Climate Technologies divestiture, Emerson will report financial results for Climate Technologies, InSinkErator and Therm-O-Disc as discontinued operations for all periods presented, beginning in 2023. The earnings from discontinued operations for 2023 are expected to be $10 billion to $11 billion, or $17 to $19 per share, including the net gains on 2023 divestitures. The Company’s 2023 continuing operations after the Climate Technologies divestiture (assumed to close March 31, 2023 for the purposes of guidance) will include interest income from the $2.25 billion note receivable from Climate Technologies and reflect the 45% common equity ownership in the income, or loss, of Climate Technologies. Emerson will not control Climate Technologies post-closing and is therefore unable to estimate the amount of its 45% share of Climate Technologies’ post-close results. The Company will exclude the interest income from the note receivable from Climate Technologies and its share of Climate Technologies’ operations in its calculation of 2023 adjusted earnings per share. Also excluded from adjusted earnings per share is the interest income on any undeployed net proceeds. The effect of Emerson’s 45% share of Climate Technologies is expected to be immaterial to post-closing cash flows.

9 2023 earnings per share guidance from continuing operations excludes any potential impact from the 45% common equity ownership in Climate Technologies’ income or loss post-close. Emerson will not control Climate Technologies post-closing and is therefore unable to estimate the probable significance or impact on our earnings per share results from the 45% share of Climate Technologies’ post-close results. Emerson will exclude its 45% share of Climate Technologies’ post-close operations from the calculation of its 2023 adjusted earnings per share.

ADJUSTED EBITA & EPS SUPPLEMENTAL

(AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS EXCEPT PER SHARE, UNAUDITED)

 

 

 

The following tables, which show results on an adjusted EBITA basis and diluted earnings per share on an adjusted basis, are 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.
